Because of a major event at the company, Xu Sichen decided to have a meeting with Pei Xiuyan after having dinner out. Coincidentally, Zheng Lin was home, so they went into the study together.

It was already past 7 p.m. when Xu Mengyu and Zheng Tianming finished eating and got home, and the living room lights were off.

"I'm exhausted." Xu Mengyu said and lay down on the sofa. She had gone out in the morning and bought some things, intending to go home.

But thinking that going home wouldn't be interesting, she went out for a walk and didn't rest except for meals.

Zheng Tianming sorted the items and placed them at the door; some items needed to be taken upstairs.

Xu Mengyu lay on the sofa. No one was home at the moment. Her mother had texted her saying that something had happened at the company and that she and her father would be home later.

Zheng Tianming handed Xu Mengyu a glass of water, saying, "You exercise regularly, so why are you complaining of being tired after just one day of shopping?" Although he said this, he still sat at the end of the sofa and massaged her feet with concern.

Xu Mengyu rubbed her heel against Zheng Tianming: "You think everyone is like you?"

"Stop fooling around." Zheng Tianming stopped and glanced at Xu Mengyu; they were still in the living room.

Xu Mengyu sat up and gently rubbed Zheng Tianming's cheek with her hand: "You weren't shy at all on the balcony before, and now no one's home."

Zheng Tianming knew what kind of person she was, but with so many elders in the family, what if they came back and saw her?

Xu Mengyu slipped her hand under the hem of her shirt: "My mom said they have to work overtime and won't be back for a while."

Zheng Tianming held Xu Mengyu's hand: "Shall we go back upstairs?"

“LuLu and Ye’s mother are upstairs.” Xu Mengyu said, reaching down her hand: “You’re so slow. You used to be able to do that in the kitchen.”

Can they be the same? Back then, we were young, impulsive, and naive, only seeking thrills.

Zheng Tianming leaned down and pressed Xu Mengyu onto the sofa: "Let's finish this quickly." His pants were relatively loose today, and if anyone came back, he would make it in time.

Xu Mengyu kissed him, her hand squeezing him through his shirt...

Xu Sichen and his team were still having a meeting in the study. The hotel had encountered a food safety issue, which was no small matter. If it wasn't handled properly, its reputation would suffer.

The three discussed their strategy in the study, and after making a decision, Xu Sichen was responsible for carrying it out.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now." Zheng Lin yawned. He runs a security company, so he has no say in food safety issues, but he could help with fire safety.

Pei Xiuyan pushed up his glasses. Ye Yuncheng could fool everyone else by taking Lulu out to play, but he couldn't fool him.

"Si Chen, the weather has been changing rapidly lately. I suggest you prepare some blood pressure medication," Pei Xiuyan said, standing up.

He walked out with Zheng Lin.

Xu Sichen finished tidying up the documents and stood up: "What's going on with you guys? Why are you so concerned about my blood pressure?"

One is one thing, two could be a coincidence, but several of them are practically whispering in his ear every day, telling him to watch his blood pressure...

As soon as the three of them went outside, they heard a faint sound. Others might not be able to hear it, but how could Xu Sichen not recognize his daughter's voice?

Pei Xiuyan and Zheng Lin retreated back to the study as quickly as possible. It would be too awkward for the young people to go out together, and it wouldn't be proper for them to act like elders.

Zheng Lin had just closed the door when he realized, Xu Mengyu, that...

He turned to look at Pei Xiuyan, cursed inwardly, and quickly opened the study door.

Xu Sichen coughed twice. Zheng Tianming didn't expect anyone to be home, and Xu Mengyu was even more surprised!

Zheng Tianming was very fast; he finished organizing everything in about ten seconds, but he hadn't yet reached the crucial step.

Xu Mengyu wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She had just confirmed that her mother hadn't returned yet, but she forgot to ask if her father had come back...

Just strike her dead with a bolt of lightning right now.

Xu Sichen's face looked as if it were covered in frost.

“Dad.” Xu Mengyu stood up, her face flushed.

Zheng Tianming stood beside Xu Mengyu: "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, it was me who dragged Xu Mengyu into this mess."

The atmosphere had reached freezing point. Xu Sichen reached out and threw Zheng Tianming aside, causing Xu Mengyu to stagger a couple of steps.

"Dad, I'm not a child anymore." Xu Mengyu didn't understand. She was all grown up. What could happen if she bumped into him?

Xu Sichen kicked Xu Mengyu in the back of the knee, causing her to kneel heavily on the cushion in the corner: "If you can't figure it out, just keep kneeling. If you still can't figure it out, then kneel here until you die."

He supports freedom of love and believes that having a relationship is normal, but at home, knowing that there are many people there and it's a public place, if Zheng Tianming had taken her seriously, this wouldn't have happened.

If she cared about herself, she wouldn't let him act recklessly. Would Zheng Tianming be the one who suffers?

Although Zheng Lin came out, he didn't say a word. You know, even when Xu Sichen was at the bottom of his career, he never did this.

Loving someone can indeed lead to being driven by desire, but respecting someone means you won't do that.

Young people nowadays often do things in inappropriate places, such as around a corner at school or in a corner of a coffee shop, which are all signs of disrespect towards their partners.

Xu Sichen always felt that his parenting was excellent. He didn't care about the many scandals involving Xu Mengyu because he knew in his heart that his precious daughter was not that kind of person.

“...”

If Pei Lan dared to treat Zheng Wanwan like that, he might turn on her even faster than Xu Sichen. After all, only a father knows what that feeling is like.

Zheng Tianming knelt down beside Xu Mengyu and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry."

"Shut up." Xu Sichen said, leaning back on the sofa armrest. He took out a cigarette and lit it.

Xu Mengyu turned her head. She had been punished to kneel many times, but her father had never kicked her like this before, and her legs still hurt: "Dad, what are you doing..."

She didn't understand; didn't he usually like Zheng Tianming quite a bit?

They're both adults, what's wrong with them being together? They even started fighting.

Ye Yuncheng came downstairs and saw this scene as soon as she opened the door. She was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Zheng Lin.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuncheng said as she walked over: "It's late at night, it's almost bedtime, you can't punish the child."

"Waaah--"

Xu Mengyu turned around crying and hugged Ye Yuncheng's leg, saying, "My dad kicked me."

Ye Yuncheng turned to look at Xu Sichen: "With that much force, you're going to hurt the child!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it." Xu Sichen's tone wasn't very nice.

Pei Xiuyan came out of the study. He glanced at Xu Sichen, knowing he was angry: "Wife, come here."

Ye Yuncheng looked down at Xu Mengyu, who was crying her eyes out, and reached out to touch her: "Talk it out. Haven't you heard the old folks say that if a child cries for too long before going to sleep, he will become stupid when he wakes up?"

"She's a complete idiot now," Xu Sichen said, flicking his cigarette ash.

If we don't take it seriously now, who will care about her in the future?

Zheng Tianming tenderly wiped away Xu Mengyu's tears. He should have stopped her earlier. He also knew that what Xu Sichen wanted was an attitude.

His attitude.

He cares so little about her; now he dares to do it in the living room where they could be seen at any moment. Next time, he might dare to do it in the garage...

He won't suffer a loss, but Xu Mengyu is a celebrity. If she doesn't know her place in the future, it's only a matter of time before she gets photographed.

Forget about equality; in this matter, most people only talk about the woman.

"Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, it's my fault for leading Mengyu astray," Zheng Tianming said, raising his head.

Xu Sichen squinted.

"It's embarrassing enough, why do you have to do this?" Xu Mengyu said, wiping away her tears. She wanted to leave, but she didn't dare to get up.

Ye Yuncheng was heartbroken.

Xu Sichen was already angry, and when she heard Xu Mengyu say that, she immediately pulled Ye Yuncheng aside.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tianming immediately stepped in front of Xu Mengyu and delivered a resounding slap.

Xu Mengyu was stunned, staring at Xu Sichen in disbelief: "..."

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuncheng was anxious. Why did they start hitting each other? What happened?

Pei Xiuyan pulled Ye Yuncheng into his arms and gently rubbed her waist twice as a way of comforting her.

Zheng Lin had no intention of stepping forward to stop them.

Xu Sichen only has one daughter, so she can understand his feelings all too well.

"You still know how to be shameful!" Xu Sichen slapped Zheng Tianming.

Li Mirui heard this sentence as soon as she opened the door. She was still holding the plan in her hand, but she saw Xu Mengyu and Zheng Tianming kneeling on the ground. One of them had a swollen face, and the other was crying like a baby.

"Are you hitting the child?" Li Milui said as she walked over.

Xu Sichen glanced at Xu Mengyu, still not understanding!

Li Mirui placed the documents on the sofa: "Go ahead and hit her, why don't you keep hitting her? Kill her and give the crematorium a boost in revenue."

You can tell from those words that the person was angry.

Xu Mengyu lay on the ground and sobbed. Who knew what was wrong with her father? Even if she had seen him, she could have just talked about it in private.

Zheng Tianming's face stung, but hearing Xu Mengyu cry like that, he felt extremely sorry for her: "Uncle Xu, you can punish me however you want, it's my fault."

Xu Sichen lowered his eyes and looked at Zheng Tianming with a faint gaze.

"I did nothing wrong anyway." Xu Mengyu's shoulders trembled, her face flushed with anger.

Seeing this, Li Mirui stepped forward and stopped Xu Sichen: "Alright, what are you doing!"

"She doesn't even know how to take care of herself! Why are you stopping me!" Xu Sichen said angrily.

Li Mirui was startled by the shout, but then she realized what it meant. She hadn't been yelled at like that in over twenty years: "Fine, I'll poison them with rat poison in a bit. I'll kill them all, not a single one of them will survive."

Xu Sichen was still angry, so Li Mirui reached out and hugged his waist: "Okay, don't be angry anymore, I'll go downstairs with you for a walk." As she spoke, she gave Xu Mengyu a look.

Xu Mengyu covered her face, tears streaming down her face: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." But deep down she was stubborn and didn't know what she had done wrong.

Ye Yuncheng quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, the child knows she was wrong, knows she was wrong." As she spoke, she pushed Pei Xiuyan aside and stepped forward to help Xu Mengyu up.

Xu Mengyu was sobbing uncontrollably, her hair a complete mess. She had never been scolded by her father like this before.

Zheng Tianming walked to Xu Mengyu's side: "Don't cry."

It was his fault; she acted recklessly, and he should have stopped her.

Zheng Lin walked over and said, "Your brother-in-law would never do that to your sister. Think about it carefully." As he spoke, he patted Zheng Tianming on the shoulder.

Everyone knows what kind of person Pei Lan is and what kind of character he is...

Xu Sichen and Li Mirui got on the elevator.

"They're infuriating me." He said, resting his chin on Li Mirui's shoulder.

Li Mirui hugged Xu Sichen and said, "You were like you were going to eat me alive just now, but don't be angry anymore." As she spoke, she patted his back.

Xu Sichen briefly explained to Li Milui: "I think there's something wrong with my parenting."

"Let's put education aside for now, didn't you just hit me?" Li Mirui said, looking at Xu Sichen.

Xu Sichen asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

When did he hit her?

Li Mirui helped Xu Sichen recall: "You hit me."

"Me?" Xu Sichen looked down at the young lady in his arms: "Are you really going to wrong me like this?" What's so bad about hitting your wife? Would he make such a low-level mistake?

Li Mirui turned around: "Now you're starting to argue with me. You said you'd let me have a lifetime, but we haven't even reached half of that. I've yelled at you, I've hit you, and you still won't admit it."

Xu Sichen bent down, looking aggrieved: "Then hit me back."

“I know what you mean, but Xu Mengyu is just like you, a stubborn one. She doesn’t understand what you mean, and she’s probably still crying right now.” Li Mirui couldn’t hit him, but she was indeed stunned by his yelling.

Xu Sichen straightened up: "Even if I have to be the bad guy, I have to tell that brat Zheng Tianming to be more careful in the future. After all, our Mengyu is a celebrity. He may be shameless, but Mengyu is."

“What if it’s your daughter who takes the initiative?” Li Mirui said, squeezing Xu Sichen’s hand: “Take it away, don’t touch me.”

"Are you some kind of crooked tree? What if your daughter initiated this?" Li Mirui exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Sichen bent down and nuzzled Li Mirui's neck: "Isn't Mengyu the one who suffers the loss? As a future husband, he is very incompetent."

"I won't let you suffer." Xu Sichen wilted because Li Milui kept pinching the back of his hand, preventing him from hugging her.

There was no one after the elevator stopped, since the building belonged to them.

Li Miru took a deep breath. Xu Sichen always favored his own people; he wasn't fair. "I'm not arguing with you."

Xu Sichen got so angry just because she was caught and didn't know how to protect herself. What if he found out that his daughter had already given birth to the child?

Li Mirui felt a chill run down her spine.

“I’m not arguing, Miss is right.” Xu Sichen said, taking Li Mirui’s hand. “Besides, I need to see Zheng Tianming’s attitude. If he tries to absolve himself of any responsibility, then he’s not someone I can entrust my life to.”

“One slap for my daughter, he’s not at a loss.” Xu Sichen said, raising his hand: “It’s all swollen from being pinched.”

Li Mirui withdrew her hand: "Can't you be a little less cunning?" She's already giving him an education, and now he's putting him on an assessment; he really doesn't let anything interfere with his studies.

“If it were even slightly less, you wouldn’t have married me.” Xu Sichen finished speaking and rubbed the back of his hand: “Pinch me.”

Li Miru saw him with his eyes lowered and his thin lips pursed together. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

"Alright, alright." Li Mirui's anger had subsided, and she hugged the person in her arms: "I'm not wronged anymore..." The sheep's ability to act cute had not diminished but increased.

But what about Lulu? Xu Sichen cares too much about whether Xu Mengyu values ​​herself and can protect herself...
