The phone was answered quickly, and Mrs. Bae said something on the other end that made Su Zhenhua's face change from cloudy to sunny in an instant, even laughing out loud.
Su Wanwan looked at him, and inexplicably, a thread of ominous premonition crept up from the bottom of her heart, unable to be stopped.
-
When he learned the news, Pei Mian was at the Pei residence, having breakfast with his parents. Xi Zhiwei happened to be back at the Pei residence visiting her parents and since Mrs. Pei particularly liked Xi Zhiwei, almost treating her as half a daughter, she invited her to have breakfast together.
Pei Mu Nian rarely returned to the Pei residence, and his mother couldn't help but nag him a few times. As she nagged on and on, the topic suddenly shifted to his lifelong major event.
"Mu Nian, how have you been lately? Is there a girl you like? You're not getting any younger, don't always set your sights so high. If you find someone suitable, just settle down quickly."
Pei Muni remained silent as usual, elegantly eating his breakfast, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Mrs. Pei saw him like this and got angry, unable to help but complain to her husband on the side: "Look at your good son, every time I talk to him about this, he pretends to be deaf!"
Mr. Pei seemed to have already gotten used to the way his wife and son were, so he just smiled, reached out to gently pat the back of his wife's hand, and comforted her by saying: "Mu Nian has his own ideas, you don't need to worry too much about it, just let things be."
The husband helped his son to speak, and Mrs. Pei was even more dissatisfied. She shook off Mr. Pei's hand with a huff and said angrily: "Father and son are of one mind, I'm the only anxious one, am I?"
She suddenly turned her head, as if seeking an ally, and said to Xi Zhiwei on the side: "Zhiwei, do you think Auntie is right? Your brother Muni is already at this age, shouldn't he find a woman, get married, have children, and start a family?"
Xi Zhiwei glanced at Pei Muniang, who was expressionless, and thought for a moment before saying, "Aunt, Brother Muniang should have his own measure, so you don't need to be too anxious."
"Vivian, you're also protecting him!" Mrs. Pei couldn't help but furrow her brow.
Xi Zhiwei hastily shook her head and explained: "Aunt, I didn't mean it that way. What I meant was that since Muniang is so excellent, he should find the most excellent woman too, so there's no need to rush."
"Excellent?" Pei Mu's mother murmured these two words, her eyes rolling around before lighting up with a smile. "Weiwei, I think you're quite excellent." Then she turned to Pei Mu and said: "Mu Nian, what do you think of Weiwei? She's beautiful, knowledgeable, and has grown up with you since childhood... don't you want to consider..."
Pei Mu's mother had not finished speaking, Pei Mu put down the knife and fork on the table with a clang, then picked up a napkin to wipe his lips, and casually threw out a sentence, "I'm full." Without hesitation, he got up and left.
Mrs. Pei's smile froze on her face, and she couldn't help but curse a sentence, while Xi Zhiwei quickly lowered his head, his eyes reddening uncontrollably.
Pei Muni walked out of the evening hall, a servant was passing by with today's newspaper, he inadvertently swept a glance, his eyes quickly chilled, he immediately shouted at the servant, "Give me the newspaper."
Three days ago, Su Wanwan left her room and there was no movement again, as if nothing had happened that night, just like she said.
Actually, she was cheating him again...
Cheating him again and again!
