After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 356

"I didn't do it on purpose either, it's just... I heard that Pei Xiang could get things from her for free, and it wasn't even about the money for me. I was just upset, and I told the clerk I was her niece but they didn't believe me. So I just acted rashly without thinking it through..." Pei Shuangshuang finally came to her senses after going out with her friends.

She was already in a bad mood that day, and after having a few drinks, she wouldn't have been so arrogant under normal circumstances.

In addition, when Pei Xiang's brand was mentioned, her friends all had looks on their faces like "since she's your relative, can you get us a discount?", which made her remember that Pei Xiang could get things for free. So she impulsively promised them she could.

But that clerk didn't give her any face at all, and with her good friends there watching, plus the alcohol, things just spiraled out of control.

Wang Yue thought for a moment and advised her, "You still need to get your dad to resolve this. Hurry up and go find him to take you to formally apologize. No matter what, just have a good attitude and don't let this blow up."

She knew clearly in her heart that with Pei Yong not around, no one else in the Pei family would pay any attention to her and her daughter. And since it was Pei Shuangshuang's fault, if things really escalated it would be bad for them.

"Okay, I'll go now." Pei Shuangshuang ran off in a panic.

Wang Yue stamped her feet in frustration, asked for time off work, and also prepared to follow along to see what would happen.

But when she arrived at Pei Yong's place, she found out that Pei Shuangshuang had not come to see Pei Yong at all.

Because Pei Shuangshuang had been caught on her way over.

At that time, Zhi Xia had just seen the police officers out. When Xu Jiamei looked up and saw Pei Shuangshuang running over, she immediately pointed her out.

She was caught red-handed and taken directly to the police station, without even a chance to talk her way out of it.

Provoking trouble and assaulting people, plus the damaged merchandise at the store was no small sum either. With all these charges pinned on her, Pei Shuangshuang was looking at having to pay compensation.

Zhi Xia comforted Xu Jiamei and told her to go to the hospital to get her facial injuries appraised.

She also had the store employees tidy up the mess and take all damaged goods off the shelves, replacing them with new items. Qiao Yan pursued a high-end approach and absolutely could not allow flawed products to exist.

By the time she returned home, the children's little friends who had come over for their birthday party had already gone back. Aunt Zhang had also cleaned up the whole house.

Seeing Zhi Xia return, Aunt Zhang hurriedly asked in concern, "Zhi Xia ah, what happened? Nothing serious I hope?"

"It's fine. Some people caused trouble but they've been caught. They're at the police station now."

"That's good they were caught, that's good they were caught." Only then did Aunt Zhang feel relieved. She cursed, "I say, don't these useless kids have nothing better to do, going around smashing other people's shops for no reason? They really have too much free time and have to go make trouble for themselves!"

"It was Pei Shuangshuang who did it."

When Zhi Xia spoke these words, Aunt Zhang instantly fell silent, gaping in shock. "Shuangshuang? Why?"

She also knew this girl. In the past she had been rather petty and competitive, always wanting the best of everything, and loved to compare with Mengmeng and Xiangxiang.

Ever since her mother got divorced, she hadn't come by this side, so they rarely saw each other and Aunt Zhang could no longer remember clearly when was the last time she saw Pei Shuangshuang.

"Who knows what she was thinking. In any case, people have to bear the consequences of their own actions, no matter what reason they have." Zhi Xia also felt she must be insane in the head. Forget about giving away her own things to whoever she pleased or not, just based on her attitude towards herself back then, what made her think she could give her things for free?

"Should this matter be mentioned to Shuangshuang's father then?" After all, they had quite a good relationship, especially between the few children and PingAn.

"I'll go back and talk to grandfather about it." PingAn happened to walk out from inside the house just then and overheard their conversation. The little guy was short in stature and had delicate features, especially a pair of very spirited eyes.

There was no denying he had inherited his good looks from Pei JianGuo, and his intelligence came from Guo Momo, while his temperament was inherited from Pei Yong. He had the same cold and aloof manner when facing strangers as Pei Jing.

Zhi Xia pondered and nodded. "That works too. Just give your grandfather a brief mention, no need to say much."

"I know."

She was also somewhat worried Pei Yong might try to shield Pei Shuangshuang. After all, they were still blood father and daughter, as close as flesh and bone.

But this time, she was determined to teach Pei Shuangshuang a lesson. Having provoked her like this, if she let her off lightly, wouldn't that just let her be even more unscrupulous in the future?

When Pei Yong met PingAn on his way over and learned that Pei Shuangshuang had already been arrested, he felt distressed in his heart, but after thinking it over repeatedly, he still chose to leave with PingAn.

PingAn turned his head in his round eyes to ask Pei Yong, "Grandfather, won't you ask Stepmother to plead for her?"

"No need. She's grown up now and should take responsibility for her own actions." Pei Yong thought, he wouldn't be able to watch over them for their whole lives either. It was like with Pei JianGuo - he had already done his best to supervise him, and cleaned up the mess for him, yet soon afterward he went and made another mess.

He was already quite advanced in years with limited energy. If his own children were like this, there was nothing more he could do. The only thing he could do now was raise PingAn well.

As for Pei Shuangshuang - after learning from this lesson, the next time she acts recklessly she will remember to use her brain and carefully consider what she should and shouldn't do.

"PingAn, grandfather knows you're very smart, but you must remember this: a person may be incapable but cannot be foolish or vicious. My PingAn must grow up to be a responsible man instead of a useless weakling who only ever causes trouble and looks for his elders to clean up after him..."

"Grandfather, PingAn will work hard, and be top of the class every year like big uncle..."

His young self already knew he had no right to be lazy.

Grandfather had already given up so much for him, so he had to work harder to live up to grandfather's nurturing grace.

In this year's final exams, he had tied for first place with little sixth uncle. He got full marks for Chinese and math, and also received a certificate of merit and a pencil.

Ever since he started school this year, every time Stepmother bought stationery for several uncles, she would also buy a set for him, and told him to study hard while also keeping nice food for him.

He didn't know what he could do, he could only study hard to put their minds at ease.
