How could Pei Zhi not be angry at all when she was identified as a mistress in front of so many people?

Moreover, given Hu Weimin's status, Pei Zhi shouldn't have to swallow her anger.

Xie Cinian patted Pei Zhi on the back as a way of comforting her.

Hu Weimin looked left and right, and knew that this matter was not going to end well.

He couldn't afford to offend the Xie family, and Xie Cinian seemed to be a doting husband.

Hu Weimin slapped Yang Li hard across the face, and Yang Li fell heavily to the ground.

Hu Weimin pointed at Yang Li and started cursing, "You jinx, you're just spouting nonsense without even knowing the facts!"

"Look at her demeanor, do you think I'm good enough for her?"

"Apologize to me right now!" Hu Weimin grabbed Yang Li by the collar.

"You wretched woman, I'm warning you, if you can't settle this matter today, I guarantee you'll be kicked out of the house with nothing."

Yang Li was initially stunned by the beating, but Hu Weimin's words immediately brought her back to her senses.

The two of them were already going through a divorce.

For the sake of the children, Yang Li may still receive some of the property.

Yang Li didn't care about saving face at that moment, and rushed to Pei Zhi and knelt down.

"It's all my fault. I looked down on people. Please forgive me, you're a magnanimous person."

After Yang Li finished speaking, she actually kowtowed to Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi took two steps back; she couldn't accept such a grand gesture.

Xie Cinian asked calmly, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Let's go." Pei Zhi didn't want to stay here and become a laughing stock.

Xie Ci Nian: "I admire my cousin's family traditions, and I apologize for disturbing you today."

Hu Weimin smiled awkwardly, not caring about anything else, and followed behind the two men to see them into the car.

Inside the villa, most of the guests had already left.

When Hu Weimin returned, he roared at Yang Li, "Are you trying to kill me?"

Yang Li knew Hu Weimin well; he was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a profit.

Someone who can command such obsequious service from Hu Weimin must be someone of considerable status.

Yang Li also exclaimed, "If you had told me beforehand, there wouldn't have been these misunderstandings."

Hu Weimin ran his fingers through his hair, pointed at Yang Li, his face flushed red, and he couldn't say a word.

Hu Weimin was afraid that Yang Li would ruin his plans, so he didn't tell Yang Li.

Unexpectedly, even though he didn't let Yang Li know, she still made a huge fuss about it.

"Something that does more harm than good."

"In the end, it's all your own fault."

As soon as Hu Shi returned home, he heard his parents arguing.

"Tsk, I should have known better than to come back today."

Today is the old lady's birthday; otherwise, Hu Shi would never have come back.

Yang Li's eyes lit up when she saw her son return.

Yang Li pointed to her face, "It's good that you're back. Look at your father, he actually hit me."

Hu Shi glanced at it, frowned, and asked, "Why did you start fighting again?"

Hu Weimin waved his hand, "Don't you know what kind of person your mother is? She's perfectly fine, why would I hit her?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Li lowered her head guiltily.

Hu Shih was too lazy to get involved in the lawsuit between the couple.

"Where's Grandma? I'll go see her and then leave. I have a gig tomorrow."

Hu Weimin was about to light a cigarette, but after hearing Hu Shi's words, he stopped.

"Where are you going? How old are you? Go back to work at the family company."

Yang Li chimed in, "Yes, son, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to take over the company."

Hu Shih was impatient with this, saying, "I've said it a million times, I'm not going to work at the company, you can give the company to whomever you want."

After Hu Shi finished speaking, he went upstairs to find the old lady.

With Hu Shi gone, Hu Weimin could only vent his anger on Yang Li.

"Look at the son you raised! What kind of character is he?"

Yang Li retorted angrily, "He's your son too, why don't you teach him a lesson?"

The couple parted on bad terms again.

Hu Shi had grown up accustomed to his parents' constant arguing and was no longer surprised by it.

After visiting the old lady, Hu Shi came out and saw his father standing in the corridor smoking.

The last time Hu Shi saw his father was about four months ago.

Looking at him now, my father seems to have aged quite a bit.

"Old Hu, has the company been having some trouble lately?"

Hu Weimin snorted, "No respect for elders, call him Dad."

Hu Shih also took out a cigarette and lit it. "Is the company short of money? Or what?"

"Today your mother pointed at my major client's wife and cursed her as a mistress. The cooperation that was originally agreed upon is probably going to fall through."

Hu Shih recalled the handprint on his mother's face; so that's how it came about.

"Tomorrow, take a day off and come with me to meet this big client and apologize in person."

Hu Shi pointed to himself, "Me?"

“The other party is a distant relative from your grandmother’s side. In fact, he’s my cousin, so you should call him uncle and aunt.”

Hu Shih was even more displeased. "Dad, you know I'm terrible at dealing with elders."

"I didn't ask you to deal with this, and you won't come with me. Are you suggesting I ask your mother to come with me?"

Looking at the white hair at his father's temples, Hu Shi thought, "It's my mother's fault again."

Hu Shi reluctantly agreed, "Alright, this is the only time."

Hu Weimin remarked with emotion, "At least she's become a little more sensible."

The next day, Pei Zhi got up very early and was dragged by Xie Cinian to go for a run.

Pei Zhizhen remarked that Xie Cinian was in excellent health.

She was fooling around until midnight yesterday, but I was still able to drag her to the yard to exercise at 6:30 this morning.

Pei Zhi ran around the yard once, then lay down on a chair, not wanting to move anymore.

"I remember I used to get up early every morning to exercise, how come I lost that habit after getting married?"

Pei Zhi forced a smile, "Because I've been exercising every night since I got married."

Pei Zhi didn't like getting up in the morning to exercise. Wasn't it to make a good impression on Xie Cinian back then?

Let Xie Cinian know that the two of them share common interests.

After getting married and having already won over Xie Cinian, Pei Zhi became too lazy to torture herself anymore.

"Sir, Madam, Mr. Hu called and said he would like to pay a visit today to apologize for what happened yesterday."

Pei Zhi wiped her sweat with a towel. "I'm going upstairs to take a shower first."

"Just say I'm not home today."

The assistant hurriedly replied, "But they just called again and said they've already set off."

"Never mind."

The assistant knew he had made a mistake. "Mr. Hu kept calling me your cousin and said there was a misunderstanding between us, so I couldn't just refuse him outright."

"I understand. Please postpone all my meetings to the afternoon."

Hu Weimin got up before dawn.

First, I opened the safe to see what gift would be appropriate.

Jewelry is a must, but it can't be too old-fashioned, and it definitely can't be worthless either.

As for valuable items, that won't work either; they're not short of money.

Besides jewelry, there were all sorts of gifts, including bird's nest and sea cucumber, big and small, which filled the trunk completely.
