Chapter 162: A Family of Legal Illiterate
"Okay, what a look!"
The couple wanted to say something, but suddenly, the old man sitting at the top interrupted them with a loud shout.
The other people in the hall showed expressions of ridicule that were either subtle or obvious.
Ning Xingluo thought, it seems that these people themselves are not very united. Just like what Uncle Pei said, there is not a single good person among them, and they all hope that others will suffer misfortune.
The hall became quiet again, and Ning Xingluo remained silent. She had experience in this kind of thing. No matter what situation she was in, she had to keep her composure.
But what she heard next was so absurd that she couldn't even control her expression.
……
The old man at the top called himself Pei Song, Pei Yuhan’s grandfather.
Ning Xingluo rolled her eyes in her heart. She had heard of Pei Song. Although he did not participate in the hunt for Pei Yuhan, as the head of the family, he condoned the younger generations killing each other while pretending to be a good person.
And in the final analysis, Pei Song is the one who bears the greatest responsibility for the way Pei Yuhan's so-called elders treated him.
In Ning Xingluo's heart, he was more hateful than anyone else.
Pei Song is almost ninety years old, but he is still very strong and speaks with full energy: "Ning Xingluo, right? I know you, I won't waste my words, I just want you to stay here for a few days."
Ning Xingluo: “?” Although she didn’t say anything, her expression fully expressed her confusion.
What does this old man mean?
Pei Song frowned when he saw Ning Xingluo's dazed look, feeling a little disgusted, and looked down on her even more in his heart.
This kid from a small family can never compare to the graceful and elegant children of the Jian family.
But even though he was dissatisfied, he still explained: "Don't worry, the food and drinks are all the best, and you don't need to do anything. After Yu Han and Miss Jian's wedding, you can leave."
Hearing this, Ning Xingluo couldn't help but ask: "Hold a wedding?"
"That's right, hold a grand wedding, invite all the media friends to come, and announce it to the world. Correct the mistake that Yu Han made impulsively before.
You and Yu Han didn't even have a wedding. After the wedding, no one will acknowledge your relationship anymore, and then we can let you go."
Ning Xingluo couldn't help but frown: "How could Pei Yuhan hold a wedding with someone else?"
She still has some confidence, and she also believes in Pei Yuhan.
Pei Song disagreed and smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, Pei Yuhan will definitely come anyway."
Pei Song thought very well. He made two preparations. If Pei Yuhan really had deep feelings for Ning Xingluo, then as long as they arrested Ning Xingluo, Pei Yuhan would have to obey them.
If Pei Yuhan is just using this woman as a shield and doesn't care about her at all, then that's fine. He can't possibly not care about his career and wealth, right?
Thinking of the trap they had jointly set up and Pei Yuhan who had already fallen into it, he couldn't help but let out a smug sneer.
"I will have someone handle the divorce procedures for you and Yu Han directly by then. If you obey my orders, we will let you go in half a month at most."
Ning Xingluo: “…” She was so speechless that she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
No wonder the entire Pei family couldn't do anything to Pei Yuhan despite using every possible means.
How stupid, really stupid. After fighting with Pei Yuhan for so many years, they haven't learned any lesson at all!
Moreover, this old man is totally ignorant of the law!
Don't they know that the law only recognizes marriage certificates? What's the point of holding a wedding? Don't let people report you for bigamy later...
Moreover, for divorce, whether it is by agreement or litigation, the person concerned needs to be present, and there is also a cooling-off period for divorce...
What’s more, their current behavior is illegal detention, which is a clear violation of the law and a crime.
The more Ning Xingluo thought about it, the more he felt that this was too weird.
No, aren't they businessmen? Aren't they a big family in the past? Could it be that this is a problem that only big feudal families have - they don't take the law seriously?
Did they forget to inform them about the fall of the Qing Dynasty?
Besides, their family’s connections in the political circle are long gone, so it must be difficult for them to do anything, right?
Wait, Ning Xingluo's heart trembled. Could it be that the Pei family has hooked up with some big shot again?
Pei Song continued, "When you get out, we can also give you some money, five million, which should be enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime."
When he mentioned five million, a look of pain flashed across his face.
Ning Xingluo: “…” You’re worrying too much. It’s impossible for the Pei family to hook up with any big shot.
She really hasn't been so speechless for a long time.
Five million... Pei Yuhan spent thirty million at the beginning, and the money he spent on buying her clothes and jewelry every quarter was more than five million, not to mention the custom-made dresses for banquets and events.
Without Pei Yuhan, the Pei family even felt bad about taking out five million. They are really in a state of decline.
Ning Xingluo was so angry that he almost laughed.
--------------
Perhaps he felt that it was pointless to talk more with Ning Xingluo, so after Pei Song finished saying this, he had Ning Xingluo taken away. It seemed that their family still had something to discuss.
Although he felt that the Pei family was just playing house, Ning Xingluo really had no way to escape now.
Not surprisingly, she was placed under house arrest.
She was locked in a not very big room with a toilet and a bathroom, but all the windows were sealed. She searched the room first but couldn't find any handy tools, and it was probably impossible to pry open the window.
The room was equipped with everything that was needed, including a lot of snacks.
Should we say that the Pei family is quite thoughtful? They even prepared a home console, which was filled with the games that Ning Xingluo had posted on Weibo.
After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Ning Xingluo sat down somewhat disappointed.
She was indeed not panicked, but no one would be happy if they were suddenly and illegally detained, and she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Ning Xingluo curled up in the soft sofa and began to think.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall just now. She had been there for such a long time, and except for the couple who had made sarcastic remarks at the beginning, Pei Song was the only one who was talking.
The other people had different expressions, and a few even looked disapproving, but they didn't dare to speak.
It can be seen that the Pei family today is still the same as it was more than a decade ago, with Pei Song being the one who has the final say.
And it may be even worse than before.
Perhaps, we can start with those people who disagree with Pei Song?
But she didn't even know who those people were...
Ning Xingluo was frightened after all. As he was thinking about it, he fell asleep on the sofa with his legs crossed.
……
For the next two days, Ning Xingluo was locked in this room and had no chance to contact anyone except the man who delivered the food.
She finally became anxious.
She has been missing for more than 48 hours, why hasn't anyone come to look for her?
Could it be that Pei Yuhan is really in some big trouble? !
