"Cousin, are you still waiting for me here?"

Hu Weimin quickly said, "I'm not worried that you're not familiar with this place, it's better to wait."

Pei Zhi glanced around and saw that Xie Cinian was still on the phone.

Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi locked eyes, and Xie Cinian tapped his phone, indicating that it would be a while before they met.

"Sister-in-law, the old man is getting on in years and meant no harm. Please don't take it to heart."

"How could that be? I know the old man meant well."

Hu Weimin continued, "The children's affairs are your own business, and the old lady really shouldn't interfere."

As Yang Li was about to go upstairs, she suddenly heard Hu Weimin's voice.

child?

What child?

Yang Li is Hu Weimin's wife, but halfway through the banquet, she couldn't find Hu Weimin.

Yang Li peeked out and saw Hu Weimin chatting with a very pretty girl.

Because they were a bit far away, Yang Li couldn't hear clearly.

It's probably about kids, money, and stuff like that.

Upon hearing this, Yang Li immediately flew into a rage.

So, Hu Weimin's sudden disappearance was to settle his romantic entanglements?

Yang Li wanted to get closer, but the two of them left.

Yang Li didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered.

Back in the private room, after only a few words, the old lady said she was too old to stay awake and needed to rest.

Pei Zhi took the initiative to speak up and help Hu Weimin make connections.

Hu Weimin owns a piece of land that he acquired ten years ago.

Having missed the peak of the real estate boom, I'm now holding onto this property. I'm reluctant to sell it, but I don't know what I can do with it.

Xie Ci Nian is going back to China to develop his career, which is a good opportunity to start a collaboration.

As the conversation progressed, the two began discussing more practical matters such as monetary investment ratios and share division.

Pei Zhi stood up and said she was going downstairs for a stroll.

"If I finish first, I'll send you a message, so don't go too far."

"Okay, cousin, I'll head out now."

Hu Weimin quickly asked, "Would you like me to ask my wife to show you around?"

Pei Zhi was somewhat surprised. "No need, thank you, cousin."

Pei Zhi thought that Hu Weimin was either divorced or widowed.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it is the husband and wife who receive the husband and wife.

The fact that Hu Weimin didn't bring his wife with him from the beginning indicates that their marital relationship was not good.

"My cousin is so lucky. He found a wife who is gentle and considerate, and she knows how to avoid suspicion when the men are doing business."

Xie Ci frowned slightly. "There's nothing to avoid, it's just that she doesn't want to hear about it."

Xie Cinian never believed that Pei Zhi had anything to say about his business dealings.

Hu Weimin nodded awkwardly, not daring to bring up Pei Zhi again, for fear of upsetting Xie Cinian.

Yang Li searched everywhere on the first floor but couldn't find the woman who was chatting with Hu Weimin.

"Lili, what are you looking for?"

Yang Li said viciously, "Find a slut."

Yang Li's group of girlfriends were confused. "What do you mean?"

“That beast Hu Weimin, his mistress has come looking for him, and she's even pregnant with his child.”

The group of girlfriends immediately rallied together in solidarity: "Where is that woman? Let's tear her apart!"

At their age, which man in the family doesn't have affairs?

He gets excited as soon as he hears about the trouble caused by the mistress.

"It's her."

Yang Li saw Pei Zhi coming down the stairs and immediately pointed her out.

Yang Li couldn't possibly be mistaken, even though she hadn't gotten a good look at Pei Zhi's face.

The group of girlfriends looked at each other, wondering, "Could there be a mistake?"

"Yes, the dress she's wearing must be custom-made; it must be very expensive."

"This demeanor doesn't seem like that of Hu Weimin's mistress at all."

These women have become quite experienced in catching mistresses.

Whether someone is a mistress or not, they can tell in just a glance.

The woman Yang Li was referring to, with her looks and demeanor, how could she have fallen so low as to become Hu Weimin's mistress?

How could a mistress possibly be worthy of a man?

“I heard it with my own ears. Hu Weimin even said he would give her money and something like that.”

"Hu Weimin is quite generous."

"Hurry up and catch up, or she'll leave."

A group of people followed Yang Li and quickly moved towards Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi took a glass of water, but before she could even drink it, she was surrounded by a group of middle-aged women.

Pei Zhi didn't speak, she just watched them quietly.

Yang Li said fiercely, "If you don't want to make a big scene, you'd better come with me."

Pei Zhi: "?"

If Yang Li weren't worried about the fact that it was the old lady's birthday banquet and many people had been invited, she would have taken action right now.

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be aired in public.

Pei Zhi gripped her water glass. "Who are you?"

"I am Hu Weimin's wife."

After Yang Li finished speaking, she stared intently at Pei Zhi, waiting for the panicked expression on Pei Zhi's face.

"What a coincidence, we were just talking about you upstairs."

Yang Li was not flustered at all when she saw Pei Zhi; in fact, she even dared to provoke her.

"Mention me? You have the nerve to mention me? You have absolutely no shame?"

Pei Zhi was genuinely confused. "What are you talking about?"

Yang Li originally wanted to save face, but this mistress was just too arrogant.

How could a mistress go to such lengths? She doesn't even restrain herself in front of the wife.

"What am I saying? I'm saying you're shameless, and that being a mistress is something to be proud of, right?"

Didn't your parents teach you how to be a decent human being?

"Hu Weimin is old enough to be your father. You're sleeping with him? Don't you find it disgusting?"

"Really? They'll do anything for money?"
