The call came in quickly. It was unclear what Mrs. Pei said on the other end of the line, but Su Zhenhua’s expression instantly went from gloomy to clear skies and he even laughed.

Watching him, an ominous premonition rose in Su Wanwan’s heart and she couldn’t suppress that feeling no matter how she tried.

–

When he learned about this piece of news, Pei Munian was having breakfast with his parents at the Pei Family Residence. Xi Zhiwei also happened to have returned to the Pei Family Residence to visit her parents. As Mrs. Pei adored Xi Zhiwei very much and practically regarded her as her half daughter, she invited Xi Zhiwei to join them for breakfast.

Pei Munian rarely returned to the Pei Family Residence, so Mrs. Pei couldn’t help but nag at him a little. As she nagged, the topic of conversation suddenly changed to his marriage.

“Munian, how have you been lately? Are there any girls you like? You’re not getting any younger, so don’t set your expectations so high. If someone is suitable, hurry up and settle down.”

Pei Munian was silent as always, eating his breakfast elegantly as if hadn’t heard anything.

Seeing this behaviour, Mother Pei was infuriated and couldn’t help but grumble to her husband beside her: “Take a look at this ‘good’ son of yours. Every time I talk to him about this, he plays deaf and acts dumb!”

Father Pei had long gotten used to the ways of this mother-and-son pair, so he simply smiled and reached out to pat the back of his wife’s hand as he comforted her: “Munian has his own plans. You don’t have to worry too much; just let nature take its course.”

Upon hearing her husband speaking up for their son, Mother Pei grew even more infuriated. Furiously, she flung Father Pei’s hand away and said angrily: “Both father and son are singing the same tune. I’m the only one feeling anxious, right?”

Suddenly, she turned. As if looking for an ally, she said to Xi Zhiwei, “Weiwei, do you think what Auntie said was right? Your Brother Munian is already at this age-shouldn’t he find a woman as soon as possible to get married, have children and start a family?”

Xi Zhiwei furtively glanced at the expressionless Pei Munian. She thought about it for a moment before replying to Mother Pei, “Auntie, I’m sure Brother Munian knows what to do, so don’t feel so anxious.”

“Weiwei, you’re also defending him!” Mother Pei couldn’t help but frown.

Xi Zhiwei quickly shook her head and explained: “Auntie, that’s not what I meant. What I meant was that Brother Mu Nian is outstanding so of course he should find the most outstanding woman. You should take it easy; there’s no need to worry.”

“Outstanding?” Mother Pei repeated her words and rolled her eyes. The next moment, her eyes lit up and her face split into a smile as she said, “Weiwei, I think you’re pretty outstanding.” Then, she looked towards Pei Munian and said, “Munian, what do you think of Weiwei? She’s beautiful, well-educated, and sensible, and you two grew up together too. Why don’t you consider...”

Before Mother Pei could finish speaking, Pei Munian slammed his knife and fork down on the table. Then he picked up the napkin at the side and wiped his lips before uttering, “I’m full.” Without any hesitation, he got up and left.

The smile on Mother Pei’s face froze and she let out a cuss while Xi Zhiwei hung her head and her eyes turned red involuntarily.

After Pei Munian stepped out of the dining hall, a maid happened to walk past him while holding today’s paper. When he casually glanced at it, his gaze turned to ice rapidly and he immediately called out to the servant, “Hand me the newspaper.”

Three days ago, after Su Wanwan left the room, there were no other signs of activity. It was as if they were really treating it like nothing had happened that night, just like she promised.

Turns out she lied to me again...

She lied to me time after time!
