Chapter 91 The Ugly Son-in-Law Must Meet the Parents
"Pei Jingyan?"
Hearing this name, Shen Lingzhen was a little surprised, "Is it the child of the Pei family?"
Shen Lai nodded hesitantly.
Shen Lingzhen asked in confusion: “Why would he take the initiative to help our family?”
At this point, she couldn't hide it any longer. Her father would find out about her marriage to Pei Jingyan sooner or later, so it would be better for her to tell him out loud.
"Dad, actually, I'm married to Pei Jingyan."
Shen Lingzhen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "What?"
Shen Lai looked embarrassed and said, "You have been in prison before, so I didn't tell you about this."
After all, Shen Lingzhen has been in the business world for so many years, and he thinks more than Chang Suning. Thinking about what Shen Lai said just now about Pei Jingyan helping him find evidence, his expression suddenly became serious, "Lai Lai, tell Dad honestly, did you marry him to save me?"
Shen Lai was amused. How come what her father said was exactly the same as what her mother said?
"Dad, it's really not."
It was true that she had married Pei Jingyan for her mother's medical expenses, but her father's matter had never been within the scope of their agreement, and Shen Lai had never expected Pei Jingyan to help.
In fact, Pei Jingyan could have done nothing.
Thinking of this, Shen Lai's heart seemed to be filled with something, and a hint of sweetness overflowed.
"Then why did you suddenly marry him?" Shen Lingzhen obviously didn't believe this reason, and his tone was full of doubt.
Shen Lai had no choice but to tell Shen Lingzhen about her pregnancy.
She teased, "Dad, you're going to be a grandfather."
Shen Lingzhen's face was full of shock, and he subconsciously glanced at Shen Lai's lower abdomen, "When did it happen?"
"It's been more than three months." Shen Lai found a reasonable excuse, "I married him because I was pregnant."
Shen Lingzhen never imagined that during the time he was in prison, the daughter he had raised so carefully was taken away by Pei Jingyan.
In order to dispel Shen Lingzhen's doubts, Shen Lai also told her father what had happened during this period. Sure enough, when he heard Pei Jingyan defending Shen Lai on the show, his expression eased a little.
When Chang Suning arrived at the hospital, tears immediately came down when she saw Shen Lingzhen.
Shen Lai watched this scene from the side and rubbed his eyes silently.
At this moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. It was Pei Jingyan calling.
Shen Lai glanced at his parents hugging each other, quietly left the ward, leaving the two of them alone, and walked to a quiet place to answer the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, a magnetic and deep voice came from the other end, "Did you get through to your dad?"
Shen Lai hummed, "I just brought my dad to the hospital, and he's reminiscing with my mom right now."
"Really?" Pei Jingyan said with a slight raise in his voice, "Then I'll go over now."
Shen Lai was stunned for a moment, "You want to come over?"
Pei Jingyan said in a playful tone, "An ugly son-in-law must meet the parents, right?"
Hearing him teasing her like this, Shen Lai's ears turned red. "You don't have to go to the company?"
Pei Jingyan teased, "How can the company be more important than meeting the parents?"
Since he said so, Shen Lai couldn't find any reason to refuse. Besides, Pei Jingyan would meet her parents sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
She coughed and said, "Oh, then come on."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lai looked at the page of call records. For some reason, she felt a little nervous when she heard that Pei Jingyan wanted to meet his parents.
Could it be that she is still worried that her parents don’t like Pei Jingyan?
Not long after, Pei Jingyan came to the hospital. He was wearing a formal suit today, which showed off his broad shoulders and long legs. His tie was tied straight and his leather shoes were spotless. It was obvious that he had been carefully groomed.
"Dad, Mom." Pei Jingyan called calmly.
Hearing this name, Shen Lai almost choked on his saliva and looked at Pei Jingyan in shock.
He is too direct!
Shen Lingzhen and Chang Suning looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Pei Jingyan acted as if he didn't see it. He turned to look at Shen Lingzhen and said sincerely, "Originally, I should have gone with Shen Lai to pick you up this morning, but there was something urgent that needed to be dealt with at the company, so I didn't go."
Shen Lingzhen said: "This is a small matter. If you want to manage such a big company, it will be the same if Lai Lai comes to pick me up."
Pei Jingyan smiled slightly.
Shen Lingzhen's eyes wandered between the two of them, and his tone became more serious. "I heard that you and Lai Lai are married and have a child?"
Hearing this, Chang Suning also looked over.
Pei Jingyan said without hesitation: "Yes."
Shen Lingzhen frowned, "You should know that our family's conditions are not compatible with yours now."
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "I like Chen Lai, it has nothing to do with her family situation."
Although she knew Pei Jingyan said this just to deal with her parents, Shen Lai's heart still skipped a beat.
Shen Lingzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, “What about your parents, can they accept it?”
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "Whether they accept it or not, it will not affect my marriage to Shen Lai."
Before Shen Lingzhen could speak, he added, "Because I have the ability to protect Shen Lai."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingzhen stared at Pei Jingyan closely. Although this was very arrogant, he had to admit that Pei Jingyan had the capital to say such things.
Everyone knows that Pei Jingyan started helping his father manage the subsidiary company when he was in college, and he turned it into a listed company in just one year. Such a thundering method is probably rare in the business world, not to mention that Pei Jingyan was only in his early twenties at that time.
Pei Jingyan said slowly: "I know you are worried, but since I married Shen Lai, I will not let her suffer any grievances."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Lai. Shen Lai met his eyes, and for a moment, she almost fell for him.
However, she knew in her heart that once Pei Jingyan completely obtained the inheritance rights, their relationship would also end.
In the following time, no matter what Shen Lai's parents said, Pei Jingyan responded appropriately and there was nothing wrong with it.
Shen Lingzhen and Chang Suning were still worried at first, but after this conversation, they changed their impression of Pei Jingyan.
Coming out of the hospital, Shen Lai breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death, I was worried that my parents would not accept you."
Pei Jingyan curled his lips when he heard this, "Why are you so nervous about whether your parents like me or not?"
As if his heart was touched, Shen Lai raised his voice and said, "I don't care who is worried. I am just worried about cleaning up the mess for you!"
Pei Jingyan's eyes flickered with a smile. He didn't continue the conversation and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I've redeemed your villa for you. Your parents can continue to live there."
Shen Lai was stunned, "My villa?"
Pei Jingyan hummed.
Shen Lai's throat rolled. She had no idea about this matter, and Pei Jingyan had never told her about it.
"When did you redeem my villa?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly, "Just a while ago."
Shen Lai bit his lip and said, "It must have cost you a lot of money to get that house back. I don't have the money to pay you back."
Pei Jingyan put his hands in his pockets and asked, "How much money do you have on you? How could I not know?"
Shen Lai inexplicably felt like he was being despised by the other party.
Seeing Shen Lai's unconvinced expression, Pei Jingyan suddenly approached her, his breath falling on her ear, and his low voice carried a certain allure, "How about, like last time, Miss Shen kiss me as payment for the debt?"
