Recently it was the young master who didn't come home, but now it's the young madam who leaves early and returns late. The two people live under the same roof, not like a couple, but more like strangers.

  Pei Mu Nian's car sped extremely fast, the window rolled down, and the cool wind rushed in, stinging his face until it felt sore, but he seemed to feel nothing, still stepping on the accelerator to the end.

  When the car reached the foot of the mountain, it happened to meet a red light. Pei Mochen's car stopped, his elbow leaning against the window frame, and his black eyes inadvertently swept far away, his gaze fixed in an instant.

  In the café ahead, sat a figure he was extremely familiar with. Just now, she had said that she was working overtime at the company, but now, she was here.

  It turned out that overtime was just an excuse, she simply didn't want to go home, or rather, she didn't want to see him.

  Also, the second payment has arrived, this amount of money is enough for Su to hold on for three months, she naturally doesn't want to deal with him again, burning bridges after crossing the river has always been Su Wanwan's strong suit.

  Pei Mu Nian hooked his lips, but there was no smile in the bottom of his eyes. His whole body had a cold air, which slowly spilled out. He narrowed his black eyes, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

  -

  Su Wanwan had just finished a cup of coffee and was about to ask someone to refill her cup when her phone rang.

  Su Wanwan picked up her phone and took a look, her heart skipped a beat. She placed her hand on her chest, took a light breath, and then pressed the answer button, "Hello, Grandpa."

  Su Zhenhua's voice was slightly low and came from the other end of the phone, "Wan Wan, where are you?"

  Su Wanwan's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened. Her grandfather had personally sent her back to the villa, so why was he asking where she was? Could it be that he found out she hadn't returned to the villa? But that was impossible, she had only come out after watching his car leave.

  Su Wanwan thought, maybe Grandfather was intentionally testing her, she had to remain calm and not lose her composure.

  Su Wanwan curved her lips, gave a light cough, and tried to answer in a natural tone, "Grandfather, why ask this? Of course I'm at home, didn't you send me back?"

  "Are you at home?" Su Zhenhua asked back, then said, "That's good, Mu Nian should also be at home, let Mu Nian answer the phone."

  Su Wanwan slightly furrowed her brow, and Grandfather indeed did not dare to gloss over it.

  She swallowed her saliva and lowered her voice a bit, "Grandpa, Mu Nian hasn't come home yet. If you have anything, I can help pass it on."

  Su Zhenhua's side fell silent for a moment.

  Su Wanwan's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

  The next second, Su Zhenhua's voice filled with anger suddenly sounded, "Wan Wan, now you have to start lying in front of your grandfather too?"

  Tell lies...

  Su Wanwan had not yet reacted, Su Zhenhua continued to scold, "Just now Mu Nian called and asked if the company has been very busy recently. You've been leaving early and returning late for almost a week. I remember that in order to take care of your newlywed wife, only light work was assigned to you recently, and even if you didn't come to the company to work, it would be fine. Tell me, what are you so busy with?"

  Su Wanwan was shocked by Su Zhenhua's words, her heart sank, she bit her lower lip, opened her mouth wanting to say something, but Su Zhenhua seemed not to want to listen to her, and continued to speak on his own, "Wanwan, don't think that just because you married Pei Muni everything is fine, you need to know that the company's investment funds have not been fully allocated, we still need to rely on the Pei family, and..."
