Chapter 172: Even if you can’t live, just bear with it
This idea was too terrifying. Pei Chuxia shuddered and shook her head, "Impossible, Mom is not that kind of person!"
What's more, everyone has witnessed the relationship between Shen Lai and Pei Jingyan over the years. How could their mother do such a thing?
"Maybe we misunderstood?" Pei Chuxia consoled herself: "Let's not scare ourselves."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of Shen Lai's mouth with an ambiguous behavior.
Pei Nianzhao's eyebrows were twitching, and he almost couldn't control himself and stepped forward to stop the two of them.
It was Pei Chuxia who stopped him in time and prevented him from being exposed.
"Sister, let me go. Look what that man did to Mom!" Pei Nianzhao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to chop off that man's hand!"
Pei Chuxia struggled to hug him from behind, "Don't get excited, it will only cause trouble if you rush over now!"
Pei Nianzhao refused to listen and only wanted to kill the male mistress who destroyed his family.
Seeing that the commotion here had attracted the attention of the people around, Pei Chuxia had no choice but to pull Pei Nianzhao out first.
The whispers around reached Shen Lai's ears. She looked up and saw that everyone around her was looking in a certain direction. She followed their gaze and saw two figures leaving the restaurant.
Shen Lai looked at the man and woman and felt that they looked familiar.
Why do they look so much like Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao?
However, this idea was rejected by Shen Lai as soon as it appeared. How could Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao appear here at this time? They probably just happened to look alike.
Chen Lai didn't think too much about it and continued eating with the person opposite him.
As the night deepened, the branches on the roadside rustled in the night wind, and occasionally a few dry leaves fell into the dust.
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao returned home like eggplants hit by frost.
The lights in the villa were bright, and Pei Jingyan was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Although he was nearly fifty years old, the years had left no trace on him. Instead, he looked more elegant, and his every move revealed a mature charm.
Hearing the footsteps, Pei Jingyan took off his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at the two of them. "Why are you back?"
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao looked at each other, and a complex expression appeared in their eyes.
Pei Chuxia pretended to be relaxed and said, "Dad, Nian Zhao and I happened to be free today, so we made an appointment to come back to see you and Mom."
"Your mother went out and hasn't come back yet."
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao thought at the same time.
Not only did they know that their mother had gone out, they also knew that she was having dinner with a pretty boy.
Pei Jingyan picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. "I'll give her a call."
As he said that, he was about to pick up his phone to contact Shen Lai.
Pei Chuxia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped forward to hold Pei Jingyan's hand.
Pei Jingyan looked at her in confusion.
Pei Chuxia forced a smile, "No need, Dad, we can just wait here for Mom to come back."
If her father called her mother and accidentally heard something he shouldn't have, it would be over.
Pei Nianzhao also echoed: "Yes, Dad, we are not in a hurry, so don't bother Mom."
Given his father's temper, if he knew his mother was cheating, he would definitely tear the mistress into pieces, and maybe even not let his mother go.
Pei Jingyan glanced at the two of them in confusion, "You guys are quite sensible today and even know how to be considerate of your mother."
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao both forced smiles.
However, Pei Jingyan didn't think too much about it. When he heard them say that, he put down his phone.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little quiet. Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao sat opposite Pei Jingyan, looking at his father's face. Although he was still handsome, his age was there after all, and he was indeed not as young as the pretty boy.
No wonder her mother is so obsessed with young girls.
What's more, their mother looks like a girl in her twenties. If she doesn't tell her real age, no one can tell that she is in her forties.
In recent years, Shen Lai has been surrounded by many romantic partners, and there has always been a shortage of people who confessed their love to her. If their father had not been keeping a close eye on them, they would have been taken away by others long ago.
Pei Chuxia nudged Pei Nianzhao with her elbow and winked at him, "You ask Dad."
Pei Nianzhao frowned and shook his head gently, "You should tell me first. I'm afraid I might accidentally let something slip."
Pei Chuxia couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
This useless guy still needs her to show up at the critical moment.
Pei Chuxia cautiously asked, "Dad, how is your relationship with Mom lately?"
Pei Jingyan sipped his tea slowly and leisurely, "It's quite good."
Pei Chuxia was skeptical, "You and Mom didn't argue about that?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly, "What's there for me and your mother to argue about?"
Since they got married, he has always given in to Chen Lai.
He was almost about to pick the stars from the sky and give them to Chen Lai.
"Really?" Pei Chuxia was a little unconvinced, "If you have anything to do with mom, you must tell us."
Perhaps Pei Chuxia was acting too abnormally today, Pei Jingyan looked up at her, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Pei Chuxia smiled dryly, "It's okay, I'm just talking casually."
Just then, there was a sound coming from the entrance. Shen Lai walked into the living room and saw that no one was at home today.
Seeing Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao, Shen Lai seemed a little surprised, "Why did you come back?"
As soon as he saw her mother, Pei Nianzhao couldn't help but think of the scene he had just seen in the restaurant.
Seeing that his face was not right, Pei Chuxia took the initiative to answer, "Isn't it because we missed you and dad? That's why we came back to see you."
Shen Lai snorted lightly, "You two little heartless ones, you still remember to come back to see me and your dad."
She took off her coat and handed it to Butler Sun. Pei Jingyan took the initiative to hand her a glass of warm water. "Where have you been?"
Shen Lai took the water cup and took a sip of water, "I didn't go anywhere, just wandered around."
Listening to her mother lying without blinking, I could tell it wasn't the first time.
I don’t know how long their father has been cuckolded.
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao suddenly felt sorry for their father.
He diligently took care of their mother for so many years, without smoking, drinking, socializing or cheating, but in the end he ended up having an affair.
The two stayed at home overnight. While Pei Jingyan went to take a shower, Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao went to talk to Shen Lai.
"Mom, have you and Dad had a fight recently?"
Shen Lai admired the manicure he had just done and said casually, "No, we're fine."
Pei Chuxia couldn't help but ask, "Are you tired of Dad?"
After all, the two have been together for so many years. Maybe their mother is tired of them and is looking for a mistress outside.
Shen Lai said helplessly: "Your father and I are already an old married couple, what's there to be tired of?"
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao heard this and realized that the passion between them had disappeared.
No wonder their mother would look for a gigolo outside.
Pei Nianzhao endured and endured, but still couldn't help it: "Mom, you and Dad are already this old, even if you can't live together, just endure it."
