"Cheng Hao, bro, I can't keep this from you—it's just that the other party went too far, even calling my brother a 'kept man' and looking down on him."
Pei Yining couldn't care less about all that. She could tolerate insults towards herself, but not towards her brother.
"You don't know, at that time..."
Pei Yining rattled off the events that had just occurred, without any personal bias or exaggeration.
Zou Yaru's lips moved slightly, wanting to explain. Pei Yining countered, "Did I say anything wrong, even a single word or character?"
Zou Yaru looked at Cheng Hao, then back at Pei Yining. Facing her questioning, she couldn't utter a 'no.' Everything Pei Yining had said was the truth, the plain facts.
"Yicheng, I'm sorry."
Cheng Hao apologized to Pei Yicheng immediately.
"You two should talk it out." Pei Yicheng patted his shoulder and, pulling Pei Yining, who was still curious about what would happen next, left with her.
