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

"I think she's preparing to come back, but I'm not too sure. After all, they were both quite hurt by this matter. I heard that Xiangxiang bumped into some gangsters on her way back one night. Fortunately someone was there to pick her up that day, otherwise something bad could have happened," Zhixia said exaggeratedly. Then she looked thoughtfully at Pei JianGuo and asked, "Could it be that you're asking this for Pei Shuangshuang?"

"I..." Pei JianGuo was visibly hesitant. After psyching himself up for a long time, he still didn't have the nerve to admit it. "No, Shuangshuang is doing fine now too. It'd be good to give her more time to calm herself, otherwise she'd always feel restless. I was just asking casually. After all, Auntie refused to even talk to me for a long time because of this incident. Never mind, I won't bother you anymore. I should get going."

Pei JianGuo wasn't lying about this matter.

Jiang Su was a very generous woman to begin with. No matter how much conflict she had with Wang Yue, she never brought it upon the children.

But this time, her bottom line had truly been crossed.

She could tolerate being bullied herself, but she could not tolerate her child receiving such grievance.

What's more, her eldest daughter had been following the army for years without coming back even once. She had been relying on her youngest daughter's family to accompany her, so when this happened, of course she was furious!

Watching Pei JianGuo's disappearing figure, Zhixia very ungenerously rolled her eyes.

She dared to say that Pei JianGuo must be asking for Pei Shuangshuang. And Wang Yue must have coerced him to do so.

Otherwise, with Pei JianGuo's selfish personality, he would not have randomly thought of his sister.

Luckily, he was too proud, so he got deterred by her and rushed to deny it.

If he really had the nerve to ask straightforwardly, Zhixia was afraid she wouldn't have been able to control her temper and chased him out.

With their tangled relationship, completely cutting ties was also unrealistic. But neither side wanted to be irritated by the other from time to time.

After walking out of the door, Pei JianGuo also heaved a deep sigh. He truly regretted not withstanding his mother's coercion to ask that question. In fact, they even wanted Zhi Xia's help to arrange a job for Shuangshuang.

Arranging for Shuangshuang to come back wasn't the hardest part, since she could go wherever she wanted with her own free will. No one could stop her.

The difficulty lied in the job.

So many people couldn't find jobs. Job opportunities were even more scarce than before.

She was originally an accountant at a factory in Jincheng. Her transfer out was also arranged by Pei Yong. Her original accounting position had already been transferred away. Now that she wanted to come back, of course that wouldn't work.

When Wang Yue went to ask Pei Yong, she was directly rejected. Without a job, Shuangshuang wouldn't have an income source when she came back. With her personality, she definitely wouldn't be willing to run a small business. As for bigger businesses, needless to say she didn't have the ability, at least she didn't have the capital.

So after thinking it through, Wang Yue set sight on Zhi Xia.

She definitely didn't have much face asking Zhi Xia herself. But her son still kept in touch with their family, and Shuangshuang was part of the younger generation. As her auntie, shouldn't she help the child?

Wang Yue had had this idea for a while now. Ever since knowing Xiangxiang would transfer back, she had been working on her son's mind. But Pei JianGuo also knew it wasn't a very glorious thing to do, so he kept refusing to cooperate.

Now he was truly worn out, so he thought he might as well thicken his skin to ask about it. At least he tried his best.

Of course, he overestimated himself in the end. He still cared too much about keeping face.

Back at home, Wang Yue had been waiting for a long time already. Liu Chunhua was ordered around busily without a break.

When Pei JianGuo got home, Wang Yue was still criticizing Liu Chunhua for not folding the quilt in the room neatly. She said it should have been folded into a tidy square stack placed at the head of the bed.

Hearing this, he couldn't stand it and spoke up, "Mom, this is my house. I'm in my 30s now. How we spend our days is our own business. Can you please stop meddling so much?"

Liu Chunhua was instantly moved to tears. To be fair, apart from his refusal to give her a child, there was little Pei JianGuo fell short of.

Of course, this was merely based on Liu Chunhua's own perspective. After all, her upbringing meant a submissive personality.

Under the influence of the older generation in her family, the man was the master when at home other than working, while the woman served diligently and endured beatings and mistreatment.

Compared to the past, her current life was much easier. She only needed to take care of Pei JianGuo's daily life, and occasionally he would bring her out for meals and buy her clothes. Her mother never enjoyed this kind of life after following her father for an entire lifetime. Liu Chunhua was truly content.

Hearing Pei JianGuo's accusation, Wang Yue was taken aback first. Her gaze towards him also turned disbelieving. At the same time, she felt more disdain towards Liu Chunhua.

In the past, she would have lost her temper already.

But times had changed. For Shuangshuang's sake, she still needed to rely on Pei JianGuo's coordination. Even if she was unwilling, she had to cajole him now.

"Fine, fine. I won't say anymore. Isn't it all for your good? Young people don't understand how to spend their days. Can't I teach her a thing or two..."

While her mouth said she would stop, she still rattled on for a long while. Only when she saw Pei JianGuo's face get darker, did she hurriedly smile and ask him, "JianGuo, what did your auntie say about what I asked you to ask her? With such a huge company under her, and several factories too, arranging a job for your sister should be easy for her right? Besides, your sister has been an accountant for many years and has experience. Good accountants aren't easy to find these days."

Pei JianGuo remained silent. He didn't know how to explain to Wang Yue.

Although he didn't get to asking about the job, her expression had already told him the answer. Asking would only humiliate himself further.

But he knew Wang Yue would not understand this.

She had always been like this - arbitrary, following her own preferences to handle things, yet unaware that not everyone had the obligation to cater to her.

"Could it be that Zhi Xia refused to help?" Seeing Pei JianGuo's silence, Wang Yue's expression immediately changed. "I knew that woman is petty. We did have conflicts in the past, but that was ages ago. Shuangshuang still calls her Auntie. She wouldn't even help with such a small request, hmph!"

She didn't doubt that Pei JianGuo did not ask at all, because her son would never betray his own family. She could only find fault in others.

Even Pei JianGuo felt it was unbearable to hear. He explained, "It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that I didn't get to asking."

This made Wang Yue, who had been scolding away, incredulous. "Why? JianGuo, she's your sister. Don't you not want her to come back like everyone else?"
