Lu Zhicheng left in a hurry and didn't even look back.

Pei Anan felt that he couldn't explain to his parents.

Her face was pale, but she still tried to get up and follow Lu Zhicheng out of the balcony.

The rest of the people were in the hall, and when Mother Pei saw that Lu Zhicheng was about to leave, she immediately caught up with him.

"What's wrong? Why are you leaving?"

Mother Pei’s eyes widened, and Lu Zhicheng lied as soon as he opened his mouth, “No, Mom, I’m busy at the company, and suddenly there are things I need to deal with.”

Mother Pei has always been extremely satisfied with her son-in-law's work.

She immediately nodded happily, "Yes, yes, your work is more important, go quickly."

Pei Anan stood at the door nervously, "But..."

Pei's mother scolded her in return, "An An, of course men should put their careers first."

Pei Qinghuan was originally sitting on the coffee table, but at this moment he walked over with his arms folded, with a forced smile on his face.

"Why would you have to work on a weekend? Don't use work as an excuse for everything."

Lu Zhicheng felt that his sister-in-law's words were extremely vicious, and he retorted with a bad look on his face.

"My sister-in-law doesn't have a job right now, so of course she doesn't know about people like us who work. If the boss asks us to work overtime, we have to work overtime. You know that, right? Overtime is the norm in a big company like ours."

Gu Jinchen, who had just helped Pei Qinghuan wash the fruit in the living room, paused.

How come he doesn’t know that their company has to work overtime?

Gu Cheng was also trying to suppress his laughter. "Not necessarily. Aren't big companies more disciplined? I heard that Haicheng Group has two days off a week."

As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Gu, who was supposed to be the busiest person in their company. Gu Cheng had also worked there before. Although the company was usually busy on weekdays, it would never take up employees' time for no reason on weekends.

Gu Jinchen even said directly that if employees did not get enough rest, they would lack energy on weekdays. Later, their company always maintained normal working hours and would never work overtime on weekends.

Unexpectedly, just as Gu Cheng finished speaking, Lu Zhicheng decisively interrupted them.

"You don't know, Haicheng Group is like this. If you have the chance to go to a big company, you will understand my difficulties. Okay, I'm leaving first."

Pei's mother was the happiest. She felt that her son-in-law working overtime was a sign of ambition and dedication to his career.

"Okay, okay, go quickly, Zhicheng works in a big company now, of course he is different from you, An An."

Mother Pei had a smile on her face and pulled Pei Anan by the way. In her opinion, her daughter should not cause trouble for Lu Zhicheng's work.

After Lu Zhicheng left, Pei Anan looked a little sick.

Pei Qinghuan kindly stepped forward and said, "An An, what's wrong? Never mind, my brother-in-law is also angry about work. Don't be angry."

Pei Anan knew it very well, and she also understood whether it was because of work.

But she didn't expect that Lu Zhicheng could lie so thoroughly in front of her mother.

Seeing Pei Anan's pale face, Pei Qinghuan couldn't help but clench her hand.

"Okay, An An, don't be sad."

She might have thought that Pei Anan liked Lu Zhicheng too much, so she showed such an expression.

Seeing Pei Anan just walking towards the balcony with her head down, Pei Qinghuan followed her and found grapes all over the floor when she got to the balcony.

She looked a little surprised, "What is this? Did you just have a fight?"

Pei Anan shook his head, "Nothing, nothing."

Pei Qinghuan frowned and said nothing. She lowered her head to pick up the grapes. Gu Jinchen had followed her at some point. The man squatted with his long legs and picked up the grapes neatly and put them on the plate.

Pei Qinghuan couldn't help but ordered, "Wash it again."

Gu Jinchen didn't say anything, just nodded.

After Gu Jinchen left, Pei Anan still had the surprise on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Anan pulled Pei Qinghuan and whispered, "Sister, how can you order your brother-in-law around like this? Men will get angry. They don't know how to do housework."

Pei Qinghuan was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Why is the man angry? It seems that in this world, only women can do housework? An An, don't let Lu Zhicheng in your family affect you."

Pei Anan couldn't even recover from the surprise on his face.

"Can I, too?"

"Of course, you can always call your brother-in-law whenever you need his help. Don't feel embarrassed. You've also made a lot of sacrifices."

Pei Qinghuan patted Pei Anan's shoulder, feeling a little sorry for his sister.

She didn't seem to have a good life since she got married, and now she's even pregnant...

"An An, you are pregnant now. Don't forget that you are carrying a child. Don't feel embarrassed. If you need any help, tell your brother-in-law. This is not your child alone, it belongs to both of you."

After listening to this, Pei Anan looked at Gu Jinchen who washed the fruit and placed it on the coffee table without any complaints, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Although her brother-in-law might not be as good as Zhicheng at work, Pei Anan felt that he was many times better than Lu Zhicheng just for the sake of helping her.

This time when she came to visit, Mother Pei still had some complaints about her husband Pei Qinghuan.

Mainly in that unknown work.

When Pei Anan looked at Gu Jinchen busying around behind Pei Qinghuan, she couldn't help but hold her sister's hand tightly.

"Sister, don't worry about what mom says. I think my brother-in-law is very good. You should live a good life with him. After getting married, what's important is his character."

Pei Qinghuan nodded.

She knew in her heart that she and Gu Jinchen had no emotional foundation and were just living together.

While thinking about it in his heart, he also had to encourage Pei Anan on the surface.

"I will, and you have to explain it clearly to your brother-in-law."

Pei Anan nodded.

After witnessing with her own eyes that her brother-in-law was also working at home, Pei Anan seemed to have some changes in her heart.

She had always been taught that men were the gods and that they did not work at home. Now it seemed that she had too little experience back then.

Thinking of Lu Zhicheng's indifferent attitude towards her just now, and the way he ordered her around and gave her orders at home, Pei Anan secretly made up her mind.

I can't work in vain this time. I have to let Lu Zhicheng help at home as well.

After seeing Pei Anan and Pei Ma off, Gu Cheng also stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"See you next time, sister-in-law."

Pei Qinghuan nodded, watched them leave, then looked at the mess on the coffee table. She rubbed her waist and said, "I just made the meal, and now..."

Although Gu Jinchen had never done much housework, this was fine to him. He looked at her confidently and said, "You go and rest. I'll take care of this."

Pei Qinghuan nodded and went into the house to rest. She didn't see Gu Jinchen, who was sitting in the living room looking at the floor, lost in thought. After a long while, he called his assistant.

"Bring me the latest robot vacuum on the market, fast."
