Wang Peng's home in the warm and welcoming residential community.
Wang Song hung up the phone, his face extremely grim. He sighed deeply and sat down on the sofa.
Wang Peng realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Wang Song's eyes reddened, and he shook his head, saying, "We broke up. She said we should separate."
"Uh!" Wang Peng immediately called Hu Mingyue.
As soon as the call connected, he hurriedly asked, "Mingyue, where are you?"
Hu Mingyue said, "I'm at work. Is there something you need?"
Wang Peng smiled wryly and said softly, "Old Wang and Aunt Hu are breaking up. Why don't you talk to Aunt Hu for a bit?"
"I know what's going on, your husband is too petty," Hu Mingyue complained.
“Who says otherwise? I’ll come pick you up,” Wang Peng said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call her and try to mediate." Hu Mingyue hung up the phone.
Wang Peng returned to the bedroom, took out his car keys, and left a note for the sleeping Li Mingzhu.
"Father, do you know where she is?"
Wang Song shook his head and said, "She didn't tell me."
Wang Peng was too lazy to waste any more words, so he took his father downstairs and headed to Brother No. 1 Store.
The supermarket was packed with people, and Hu Mingyue was already waiting downstairs.
"My mom's home, she just took the day off," Hu Mingyue said hurriedly as she got into the car.
She turned her head to look at Wang Song sitting in the back row and snorted coldly.
Wang Song blushed and quickly scratched his head to cover his embarrassment.
The three arrived at the neighborhood where the Hu family lived.
Hu Mingyue opened the door and saw her mother sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. She immediately went over and hugged her arm.
"Mom, Uncle Wang and Brother Peng are here." She said, while giving Wang Song a wink.
Wang Peng placed the two cases of drinks on the floor and said with a smile, "Mom, this is your favorite peanut milk."
Hu Juan chuckled lightly and said sarcastically, "Don't call me that. I'm not qualified to be your stepmother."
Wang Peng imitated Hu Mingyue, plopped down on the sofa, and grabbed Hu Juan's right arm.
He laughed and said, "I only recognize you as my mother, no one else is worthy of it."
"Hehe." Hu Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly covered her mouth with both hands.
"You brat!" Hu Juan blushed deeply and quickly pulled her arm away from his embrace.
She glared at Wang Peng and said helplessly, "You're the big boss of Brothers Supermarket, with a net worth of several million, how can you be as naive as Mingyue?"
"Mom!" Hu Mingyue protested, "You can scold him all you want, why are you talking about me?"
"What? Can't I, as her mother, speak?" Hu Juan glared at her and reached out to pinch her waist.
"Oh dear!" Hu Mingyue hurriedly stood up and hid behind Wang Peng's outstretched hand.
The three chatted and laughed on the sofa, completely ignoring Wang Song.
Hu Juan didn't even glance at Wang Song.
Wang Song didn't dare to make a sound, standing dumbly opposite the sofa, like a primary school student being punished for making a mistake.
He didn't dare to lose his temper, and kept his head down, his face flushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Hu Juan stopped laughing and said seriously, "Xiao Peng, I have to criticize you a bit."
Wang Peng immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead and criticize me, I'm thick-skinned."
Hu Juan sighed softly and said gently, "I've heard the rumors. Some people say you have an immoral private life."
Wang Peng scratched his head and immediately thought of Hu Qing, as well as Li Mengjiao, who was far away in England.
Anyone familiar with him knows that he has romantic relationships with both Li Mengjiao and Hu Qing.
"Mom? Are you talking about my Mengjiao and Hu Qing?" Wang Peng asked in a low voice.
"Oh my!" Hu Mingyue exclaimed, grabbing Wang Peng's arm. "You and President Hu are having an affair too?"
"Can't you speak properly?" Hu Juan glared at her daughter, reaching out to pinch her again.
Hu Mingyue quickly hid behind Wang Peng and poked her head out to make a face at her mother.
Hu Juan sighed softly and said, "Xiao Peng, the more weaknesses you have, the more ways your enemies will have to deal with you."
“Our household registration officer, Xiao Hu, never goes to Brother Supermarket to buy things.”
"It's not because her brother is bad, but because she's a girl who's loyal in relationships and hates guys who aren't."
She shook her head and said softly, "I just want to tell you that your private life will affect your business, understand?"
"I understand." Wang Peng nodded and raised his hand to assure him: "This is my weakness, but it's not a weakness I inherited from my father. He's very devoted to one person."
Hu Juan was taken aback, then spat lightly, "Pah! Like father, like son."
"No!" Wang Song hurriedly shook his head. "Since my divorce from Li Guifen, I haven't had any contact with any woman except you."
Hu Juan ignored him and turned to Wang Peng, saying, "I won't interfere in your private affairs, but you have to try your best to keep this kind of thing hidden."
"Understood!" Wang Peng nodded, secretly relieved.
The fact that Hu Juan was willing to say such things meant that Wang Song still had a chance.
"Aunt Hu, I really want to call you Mom." Wang Peng smiled bitterly and said, "I've never had a mother's love since I was a child."
Hu Juan was taken aback, and holding Wang Peng's hand, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
She had heard Wang Song talk about Wang Peng's past.
The parents favored the second son, Wang Cheng, while the eldest son, Wang Peng, was treated like a slave in the family, eating the least food, doing the most work, and suffering the most beatings.
Wang Song felt a pang of sadness when he recalled how harsh he had been to Wang Peng in the past, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Hu Mingyue offered him a stool and said softly, "Uncle, please sit down, thank you."
"Hey!" Wang Song sat down next to Hu Juan with a stool, shook his head and said, "I used to be senile, I'm sorry Xiao Peng."
"You were a fool before, how dare you say that?" Hu Juan rolled her eyes at him.
Wang Song was overjoyed; the person he had been longing for was finally willing to talk to him.
“Aunt Hu, but I’m very happy that Old Wang realized it early.” Wang Peng secretly winked at Wang Song.
Wang Song hurriedly said, "I also saw through Wang Cheng's character because of one thing, Juan, and I still regret it to this day."
Hu Juan snorted and said, "That just means you have brains, even if they're not very bright."
Next, Wang Peng took the initiative to start a conversation about his childhood.
They chatted more and more enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.
At the end of the conversation, Wang Peng said, "Aunt Hu, my dad sometimes gets confused, please don't take it to heart."
Hu Mingyue quickly chimed in, "Mom, Peng is right. This time, you can be my uncle."
Wang Song smiled wryly and said earnestly, "Juan, I promise I won't make this mistake again."
"Alright." Hu Juan waved her hand and sighed softly, "That matter... my tone wasn't good either, and I did seem to be taking advantage of you."
Wang Peng immediately said, "This is normal; the organization values the families of civil servants."
Hu Juan looked at Wang Song and said, "We'll get married within half a month. If you can't do that, we'll break up."
"No problem, I promise I'll do it. I'll go back and prepare for the wedding right away." Wang Song was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Wang Song, I'm forgiving you because of Xiao Peng. You'd better watch yourself," Hu Juan warned in a stern voice.
