Chapter 515: Infidelity
The news of Fu Yanchen and Pei Mingzhu's marriage spread quickly and everyone knew about it on the streets.
Everyone said that this was a business marriage between wealthy families, and that the late Pei's father had a good vision, as he had chosen such an outstanding son-in-law when Fu Yanchen was a child. With the power of the Fu family as a support, the Pei family would be able to live without worries for a hundred years.
That's what outsiders think, and even Pei Hanchuan thinks so.
Pei Hanchuan, who had never disobeyed Pei Mingzhu since childhood, rushed into Pei Mingzhu's room and asked her why.
"Sister, why did you marry that man? Is it really for our family business? Sister, marriage is a lifelong thing. Even if you don't want your current life, I hope you can be happy. That's what I think, and I believe father must think the same."
Pei Hanchuan wanted to persuade Pei Mingzhu to give up the arranged marriage, choose someone she really liked, and enter into marriage based on love.
Pei Mingzhu asked Pei Hanchuan, "Hanchuan, how do you know that I won't be happy after getting married?"
She warned, "Hanchuan, don't be angry with him in the future. He will be our family."
At this moment, Pei Hanchuan saw the light flashing in Pei Mingzhu's eyes and her expectation for the future.
He realized he was wrong.
Everyone else thought it was just a business gathering, but Pei Mingzhu was the one who was truly moved.
As a result, Pei Hanchuan became even more worried, but he could no longer stop Pei Mingzhu.
The grand wedding was held a month later. The whole city was filled with joy. Passersby who passed by the Pei family’s door could get a handful of wedding candy.
Fu Yanchen didn't care about the expenses at all and spent money without any bottom line.
In the blink of an eye, it was their married life.
In everyone's eyes, the couple was a match made in heaven, but their marriage only lasted for half a year and ended with an extraordinary determination after half a year.
At first, Pei Mingzhu felt that this marriage was still happy.
Because she is very busy, Fu Yanchen is also very busy.
They agreed before getting married that marriage would not affect their respective careers and they would continue to be busy with their own things.
Pei Mingzhu stayed at the Pei family most of the time, while the Fu family did not have Fu Yanchen to pressure them, and there were always some people who were unwilling to give up and were ready to make a move, so the two of them were rarely together.
Everything seemed to be no different from before Pei Mingzhu got married. She just occasionally went to the neighboring provincial capital to live for a few days, and then came back with a tired body.
Sometimes Fu Yanchen would suddenly appear and leave after a short stay.
The fact that they were apart from each other so often made the couple cherish the days they could spend together even more. The quarrels and arguments that ordinary couples would have had never happened to them.
Pei Mingzhu's greatest anger was when Fu Yanchen was indulging himself in excessive sexual activity, and she kicked the man out of bed.
She liked this kind of marriage very much. If it could continue, after a few decades, when she and Fu Yanchen were no longer so busy, they could retreat behind the scenes and live a peaceful life.
Unfortunately, Pei Mingzhu did not wait for decades, and everything came to an abrupt end in just half a year.
In the sixth month after their marriage, Pei Mingzhu had a rare moment of free time and went to the neighboring provincial capital to find Fu Yanchen, returning to their nominal married home.
She opened the door with full expectation, but saw Fu Yanchen and another woman lying on their bed.
…
When Chu Yue heard this, her eyes widened slightly.
She had only one deep feeling in her heart: how ridiculous!
Were the stories of wealthy families in the 1970s so exciting and melodramatic? They're almost catching up with those melodramatic TV dramas about wealthy families today!
It’s a pity that Pei Mingzhu is not a poor little girl who accidentally entered a wealthy family. She is a powerful and influential eldest daughter, so there is no need to stage the drama of “Empress Xi returns to the palace” and kills everyone.
Chu Yue has heard too many secrets of the Pei family. She is really afraid that one day these two siblings will regret it and will try to silence her.
This is of course a joke.
In the ward now, Pei Hanchuan was on IV drip and sleeping peacefully. The only sound was Pei Mingzhu's slightly rapid breathing.
Chu Yue continued Pei Mingzhu's words and said, "Because Fu Yanchen cheated on you and betrayed your marriage, you decided to divorce?"
It’s best to throw away a man who can’t control his lower body!
Chu Yue always praised Pei Mingzhu for doing a great job.
Who knew, there would be a sudden turn of events.
Pei Mingzhu said, "Fu Yanchen has never done anything wrong to me."
Chu Yue frowned when she heard this.
Pei Mingzhu had caught them in bed and saw with her own eyes that Fu Yanchen was sleeping with another woman in their room. Isn't this a betrayal?
Unexpectedly, there are things that Chu Yue can't figure out.
She looked at Chu Yue, and seeing Chu Yue's puzzled expression, she smiled faintly.
Pei Mingzhu asked, "It's hard to understand. Do you think I'm talking nonsense? All the evidence is right in front of me. I caught them in bed, and yet you're still speaking up for that man?"
"A little bit." Chu Yue smiled embarrassedly. As a medical student, she really didn't understand the melodramatic plots of wealthy families. But she said, "You are a very smart person. You must know whether Fu Yanchen betrayed you or not. I believe there is a reason."
Pei Mingzhu's eyes, which had been dull ever since she mentioned the past, brightened up after hearing Chu Yue's words.
Even Pei Hanchuan didn't believe it, but Chu Yue believed her without hesitation.
This feeling warms the heart.
Pei Mingzhu continued to talk about the second half of the story...
After she caught the adulterer in bed, she did not scream and leave, nor did she get angry and hysterical.
The woman on Fu Yanchen's bed was none other than the familiar maid in the villa. The maid huddled nervously on the bed and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, I'm sorry... It's not... It's really not my fault... I was forced... I didn't want to... I was forced..."
The maid cried pitifully and aggrievedly.
Pei Mingzhu walked towards the bed. The housekeeper following behind her was worried, thinking that Pei Mingzhu would hit the maid in the face.
However.
After Pei Mingzhu approached, she pulled away the quilt covering the maid and Fu Yanchen.
Under the quilt, both of them were naked.
But also - clean.
Pei Mingzhu is a married woman and has a normal married life with Fu Yanchen after marriage.
How could there be no trace at all when doing something like that?
The person who designed all this behind the scenes probably didn't expect Pei Mingzhu to remain so calm, nor did he expect her mental strength to be so strong.
It wasn't enough to see her husband lying with a strange woman, she even lifted the quilt.
Pei Mingzhu looked at the pale maid and asked, "Is this what you call being forced? Even after being forced, you still have the energy to take a bath, and wash it so cleanly?"
The maid looked ashen and could no longer speak.
Pei Mingzhu instructed the housekeeper behind her, "Give her some clothes and tie her up. Don't let her escape, and don't let her die."
The butler did as he was told with great trepidation. It was the first time in the past six months that he saw the gentle lady's expression change. When her face looked cold, she actually had the aura of Fu Yanchen.
What made the butler even more nervous was that he saw... Pei Mingzhu walking towards Fu Yanchen.
