Chapter 378 The Fox Merchant: While I'm injured, Wuwu will protect me out of concern.
The Shang family's old residence.
The hall was brightly lit, and servants were busy at work.
Mrs. Shang and Ms. Zhong Man sat on the sofa, their faces full of anxiety.
The brat called and said he wanted to bring the person back.
I don't know if it's true or not.
"Miss Pei and the eldest young master are back."
Just as they were wondering, the butler's voice rang out, and the two immediately stood up.
"Misty Girl".
Seeing the two walking forward hand in hand, the old lady breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"fog--"
Ms. Zhong Man's face lit up with a bright smile, but when her gaze fell on her son, the smile vanished abruptly: "You still dare to come back?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan stopped and watched as his mother grabbed the feather duster next to her.
"You get the hell over here!" Zhong Man said angrily, her face cold. "You think you're all grown up now, daring to bully your girlfriend?"
"Madam, he—"
Seeing that Ms. Zhong Man was serious, Pei Jinwu tried to speak up and explain.
"Wuwu, don't speak up for him." Ms. Zhong interrupted her, pulled her to sit down on the sofa next to her, and said with a smile, "Eat something first, Auntie will stand up for you."
"Shang Shiyan, come here." Zhong Man looked at Shang Shiyan again, her face changed, and she said coldly, "Shang family motto, memorize it."
"..."
Shang Shiyan pursed his thin lips and slowly said, "Listening to your wife will make you rich."
"You still know how to listen to your wife..." Ms. Zhong Man waved a feather duster, "You should be secretly happy that you managed to win over Wu Wu. You dare to argue with her? Who gave you the courage!"
"..."
Shang Shiyan was severely scolded.
I feel really wronged.
How could he be worthless in his own mother's eyes?
"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?" Ms. Zhong Man's scolding became more and more unrestrained. She waved the feather duster in her hand, about to hit Shang Shiyan.
"Manman, you're right."
Madam Shang glanced at Pei Jinwu's slightly furrowed brow and joined the argument: "How can a man in the Shang family bully his wife? Beat him! Beat him to death!"
"Yes, Mother."
Zhong Man responded, making a move to attack Shang Shiyan.
"lady."
Pei Jinwu stood up at the right moment, walked up to Shang Shiyan, and said with a smirk, "He didn't bully me, it was just a little friction."
"real?"
Zhong Man glared at Shang Shiyan, but turned into a sheep when facing Pei Jinwu.
“It’s been resolved now,” Pei Jinwu explained again.
"Since Wuwu has spoken up, I'll let you off this time." Ms. Zhong Man looked at Shang Shiyan, her face fierce, but she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wuwu's protectiveness of Shang Shiyan proves that she still cares about him.
hey-hey.
That put her at ease.
"Thank you, wife." Shang Shiyan blurted out subconsciously, but upon meeting the woman's surprised gaze, he immediately corrected himself, "No, thank you, Wuwu."
My mother has one wife on the left and one wife on the right...
He misspoke.
"puff--"
Zhong Man covered her mouth, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.
You brat.
They're quite adept at taking advantage of opportunities.
——
At the dining table.
Zhong Man and Madam Shang took turns serving food to each other.
soon.
The food in Pei Jinwu's bowl was piled up like a small mountain.
"Thank you, Madam, Madam," Pei Jinwu said politely.
"What did you call us?" the old lady muttered, quite displeased. "Looks like this brat still needs to be taught a lesson."
"grandmother."
Pei Jinwu opened her mouth, a blush rising to her face, looking very uncomfortable.
“Me too, me too!” Ms. Zhong Man pointed to herself and asked excitedly.
"..."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips awkwardly and said softly, "Auntie."
"Hey!"
Madam Shang and Ms. Zhong Man nodded in unison.
"Let's eat something first."
Seeing the little girl's reserved appearance, Shang Shiyan spoke softly.
"Yes, yes, eat quickly, Wuwu."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law focused their attention on Pei Jinwu, ignoring their son standing beside them.
During the meal.
Zhong Man's phone suddenly rang.
"Director Zhong, is that you in the photo online?"
The staff member asked cautiously, "The photo has been sent to you on WeChat. Netizens say the other person is your husband."
"..."
Zhong Man opened WeChat and frowned slightly when she saw the photo.
She and Shang Hechuan were watching an e-sports competition when they were secretly photographed.
"They also said the girl next to them is your daughter," the staff member continued.
"puff--"
Zhong Man saw Pei Jinwu beside the two and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "They look quite alike."
If only Wuwu were really her daughter.
"How should we handle this?" The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively, "It seems that your relationship with Mr. Shang will soon be exposed."
"I'll handle it."
Zhong Man pursed her lips, glanced at the man next to her who was peeling shrimp for her, and said slowly.
It's time.
We've given him a proper status.
——
After finishing the meal.
Madam Shang and Ms. Zhong Man gave Pei Jinwu many more gifts.
From large items like jewelry to small items like desserts and snacks.
Before leaving.
Ms. Zhong Man called Shang Shiyan aside, her expression turning serious: "Are you injured?"
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan was slightly taken aback. How could someone who was disguised so well be discovered?
"Stop pretending." Ms. Zhong Man snorted coldly, lowering her voice, "If someone can get hurt, they must have done it willingly, right?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan was quite embarrassed and remained silent.
"Serves her right." Ms. Zhong Man glanced at the girl not far away, her tone serious.
"Years ago, I almost killed Wuwu." Shang Shiyan pinched his brow and said in a deep voice, "This injury is what I deserve."
"You almost killed her?"
Zhong Man looked slightly surprised, thought for a few seconds, and slowly said, "Then this little injury is indeed too good for you."
"..."
Shang Shiyan frowned, seriously suspecting that he was adopted.
otherwise.
How could a mother with a body temperature of 36 degrees Celsius utter such cold words?
“Since you’ve decided to be with her, you have to treat her well,” Zhong Man said seriously.
"otherwise--"
After a few seconds of pause, he continued, "Her older brother and sister are not ordinary people. If they come to deal with you, the business owner won't take their side."
Don't worry.
Shang Shiyan forced a smile, his voice deep and resolute: "You just prepare the betrothal gifts, leave the rest to me."
"You're quite confident."
Zhong Man chuckled and continued, "A girl as outstanding and beautiful as Wuwu has plenty of admirers. Don't let her get snatched away by someone else one day."
"..."
Shang Shiyan looked at the little girl standing in front of the car, talking to her grandmother, and his heart softened unconsciously.
After he recovers from his injury, he needs to take care of himself.
This face...
It can still be of some use when necessary.
——
On the way back.
Shang Shiyan suddenly received a call from Wang Ma.
"Mr. Shang, perhaps you shouldn't come back tonight." Wang Ma hid in the kitchen, secretly glancing at the menacing-looking group sitting in the living room, and whispered, "Miss Pei's three brothers are all here."
“Mr. Song Mingji, in particular, brought a very thick stick.”
"They were yelling that they'd break your legs."
"..."
Shang Shiyan turned on speakerphone, and his voice filled the entire carriage. Feng Xing and Feng Zhi in the front seats swallowed hard.
Don't say it.
Miss Pei's third brother is really capable of doing such a thing.
"Master, shall we go back?" Feng Zhi asked cautiously.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan covered the little girl with a blanket, who had her eyes closed, and said in a low voice, "While you're injured, Wuwu will feel sorry for you and protect me."
"..."
Pei Jinwu, who was not asleep, gently tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Old fox.
——
There's more.
