Chapter 888 Time to Learn to Sleep Independently, "Severing ties with Wives"
"Old man An is your friend of many years, why aren't you helping him?"
The old lady leaned closer, her eyes wide, and said, word by word.
No, I won't help.
The old man was so frightened that he stammered, and immediately stated his position: "The An family was indeed wrong in this matter. I will help those in the right, not those in the family."
"Besides, whatever my wife says is right, so naturally I have to listen to you."
"That's settled then."
Seeing that the old man had no objections (and dared not have any), the old lady nodded in satisfaction and said in a low voice, "Let's eat."
"yes."
The second wife and her husband nodded slightly, their faces almost buried in their bowls.
"..."
Grandpa Shang also picked up his chopsticks and continued eating the half quail egg that his wife had scared away earlier.
"Let's eat, the police will handle this."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Shang Hechuan and his wife immediately chimed in.
"..."
Pei Jinwu remained silent throughout, but he absorbed all the conversation into his mind.
After listening, it felt as if a warm current flowed through my body, seeping deep into my soul, making me feel happy.
She must have saved the galaxy in her past life, otherwise how could she have met such wonderful family members?!
Pei Jinwu leaned closer and said sweetly, "Grandma, please try this."
"Oh, thank you, my dear grandson."
The old lady's previous domineering and sharp demeanor vanished, replaced by a loving smile. "Don't take what I said earlier to heart."
"Your second aunt, she..."
“Grandma, I know,” Pei Jinwu said softly. “I’m not angry with my second aunt.”
"..."
The second wife raised her head, her cheeks bulging as she ate a small dumpling.
Looking at it this way, Shang Xun does resemble her somewhat.
So cute and silly.
"That's good, that's good." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and the family happily ate their food.
——
After dinner.
Second Master Shang stood in front of the French windows and made a phone call to Shang Xun.
"Preparations are almost complete, and the first batch has already taken off."
After a brief chat about work, Shang Xun immediately returned to the topic of Black Fox, "Dad, don't let Mom interfere with the An family's affairs. Otherwise, I'll really get angry."
"Don't worry, your mom won't get involved." She wouldn't dare to get involved.
"Judging from your grandmother's tone, she quite likes that boy, Black Fox."
"After work, bring her back to meet her grandparents," said the Second Master Shang calmly.
"As for your mother..."
Master Shang glanced back at his wife, who was squatting on the ground playing with the cat, and said in a low voice, "She's not a hard-hearted person, she's just too strong-willed. If you coax her a little, things will turn around."
"Thank you, Dad."
Shang Xun listened attentively and was in a good mood. "I'll go back as soon as I finish my work."
He was initially quite worried that his grandparents would have reservations.
Looking back now, I realize I had worried unnecessarily.
"Dad, I will work hard." Before hanging up the phone, Shang Xun suddenly became serious. "I have learned a lot from Black Fox this past year."
"She taught me to persevere and forge ahead. I can build my own career without relying on businesses."
"Sooner or later, I will remove this shackle."
Even if I'm not as good as my older brother, I can at least realize my own value.
"I've grown up."
Master Shang was very pleased to hear this, his voice slightly choked with emotion, "Work is important, but safety should also be taken into account."
He checked the weather forecast for country F, and it said that strong winds were coming soon.
Shang Xun's drone test flights must be conducted on mountaintops with strong winds to test its optimal performance.
As a father, I feel both gratified and heartbroken.

upstairs.
Pei Jinwu sat on the sofa in Zhong Man's room, with an exquisite bag beside her.
Ms. Zhong Man is enthusiastically introducing which snacks are delicious and which snacks won't make you fat.
"This one, this one, is chocolate flavored. It's so delicious that my husband won't even know he's dying."
Pei Jinwu: "?"
Shang Hechuan: "?"
Shang Shiyan: "?"
Ms. Zhong Man, listen to what you're saying. Is this correct?
"Forehead."
Noticing the four sharp eyes opposite her, Ms. Zhong paused for two seconds, then gave an awkward yet polite smile. "What I mean is, it's super delicious, you know?"
"Understand."
Shang Hechuan gazed tenderly at his wife, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"..."
Shang Shiyan pursed his lips, feeling rather speechless.
Just spoil her.
"Honey, there's also this flavor of potato chips. You've definitely never tried it before."
Ms. Zhong Man seemed like a salesperson, chattering on and on to Pei Jinwu.
Pei Jinwu throughout:
"OK."
"good."
"oh."
"ah."
Shang Shiyan smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and broke the ice: "That's about right, Wuwu, go back and see for yourself."
"Yes, it seems too late." Zhong Man glanced at her watch and asked, "How about we stay at the old house tonight?"
"I refuse!"
Shang Shiyan frowned and pulled Pei Jinwu into his arms.
Every time he stayed at the old house, he was without a wife.
reject.
"Tsk."
Ms. Zhong crossed her arms and gave a cold laugh. "Look at you, so pathetic. You're not going to run away with me."
"Who knows?"
Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow and tilted his chin to the side. "Ask Mr. Shang Hechuan if he'd be willing to let you chat with me instead of going back to your room."
"he--"
"I refuse!" Shang Hechuan declared before Ms. Zhong Man could speak.
Ms. Zhong Man: "..."
Please.
Mr. Shang Hechuan, you're almost sixty.
It's time to learn to sleep independently and "break up with your wife."
"Mom, Dad, we'll head back now," Pei Jinwu said, trying to ease the tension.
"All right."
The thought of not being able to see her beloved daughter-in-law again for several days made Ms. Zhong feel uneasy.
"Eat well, and if you're missing a pound next time, I'll hold Shang Shiyan accountable."
"OK."
Shang Shiyan took the bag of snacks, pulled Pei Jinwu along, and smiled helplessly: "I promise to feed her well every day."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell over the room.
Cough cough.
Having been through it all, Shang Hechuan instinctively leaned to the side.
Zhong Man glanced at Pei Jinwu.
I noticed that the girl, who had been quite calm, now had a slightly flushed face.
Tsk tsk.
That brat Shang Shiyan really doesn't know his place...
How embarrassing!
final.
The knocking on the door salvaged the four people's reputation.
"Sir, Madam, the An family has arrived," a servant's voice rang out. "Old Master An has also brought quite a few things."
settle down?
Zhong Man subconsciously looked at Pei Jinwu, her brows furrowed: "You have some nerve, actually daring to come knocking on our door."
"Don't worry, Wuwu, the business will absolutely not tolerate this kind of person."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu nodded.
"The old lady and the old master told you not to go downstairs. If you're interested, you can check the security footage." The maid added, "The second master and second mistress have already gone to the attic."
"knew."
Zhong Man responded softly, then looked at Pei Jinwu: "Baby, shall we go take a look?"
"Alright."
Pei Jinwu thought about it and figured she had nothing better to do anyway.
She wanted to know too.
How shameless can people who settle down be?
