Chapter 23 A Secret

• This was the first time that He Nian had fully understood the power that the Pei family wielded. If anyone told her that the Pei family was just an ordinary wealthy one, then He Nian would accuse them of being ignorant.
• She had always known that there were three great mysterious families in T City, but she hadn’t expected the Pei family to be one of them! She looked at the guests present. There were those from the political circle like the mayor of T City, the secretary of a municipal party committee, and even the chairman of a government advisory body. The guests from the military included the head of the military of T City and leaders of various squads. There were relatively more guests from the business sector because the Pei family was mainly involved in commerce after all. Other than the leaders in real estate—who were from the Pei family—the other leaders were from the furniture, maritime and shipping industries, and even representatives from leading state-owned enterprises were present.
• “Pei Shaoyu, have I married into a den of thieves?” He Nian was feeling a little guilty. Is there a way out for me if I choose to leave this family?
