Seeing that Zhao Dafa didn't react, he pretended to joke and said, "If you don't know, you would think he deliberately chose this time to wait for us to come."

Zhao Dafa also laughed: "According to what you said, Sister Shen is a master of fortune-telling. She predicted that we would come on the first day of the new year."

Zhou Hui glanced at Zhao Yun behind her and said, "Who knows, maybe Xiao Yun missed the message."

"Aunt Hui, please don't wrongly accuse me. I went to bed early last night and woke up when you were about to leave this morning."

"Besides, it's just two red envelopes. My dad doesn't need them. Look how distressed you are."

Zhao Yun directly exposed Zhou Hui's thoughts without giving her any face at all.

Zhou Hui smiled awkwardly and tried to find a way out. "Kid, I didn't mean that. I just felt weird and wanted to talk to your dad about it. Don't tell Pei Ziheng."

Zhao Yun rolled his eyes, "I'm not as stupid as Liang Xiaowen. Besides, Ziheng is my lifelong brother. I'd be happy to give him all my New Year's money."

When Zhou Hui heard this, she cursed her stepson in her heart for being a brainless idiot who spent money lavishly just because someone said a few words to him. She continued to joke, "Then are you going to give your New Year's money to Xiaowen?"

“No!”

Zhou Hui choked and turned to Zhao Dafa, "Dafa, listen to this, Xiaoyun is such a sincere kid."

The implication is that Zhao Yun is simplistic and has been controlled by the Pei family. If he continues like this, he will definitely suffer a great loss.

Zhao Dafa didn't know whether he understood or not, and he said casually: "I feel relieved that Xiaoyun and Ziheng are playing together."

Zhou Hui was secretly angry at the father and son for being so stubborn, but there was nothing she could do.

…

The Pei family.

Not long after the Zhao family left, the Chen family came to wish them a happy new year.

Chen's father, Chen's mother, Chen Yi, Chen Liang and Yi Ling, the whole family came together, carrying a lot of things.

Guessing the Chen family's intention, Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Ziheng to take the twins upstairs to play.

After sitting down, Chen's father was the first to apologize, reflecting on his poor parenting skills, and assured Pei Wenping and Pei Yang that such a thing would not happen again.

Apart from anything else, Shen Mingzhu still approved of the Chen family's attitude of admitting their mistakes.

However, whether or not to follow the Chen family back depends on Pei Wenping's own wishes.

"Wenping, can we talk?"

In response to Chen Yi's request, Pei Wenping said nothing, but calmly stood up and walked towards the guest room.

Chen Yi hurried to follow.

…

In the living room, the Chen family members seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They took turns to speak nice words and plead for Chen Yi. Their words showed that they did not want the family to break up.

Shen Mingzhu has no say in this matter.

She was just a married person from another family, so she just listened quietly while Pei Yang negotiated with the Chen family.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder what she would choose if she were in this situation.

If I don’t divorce, I will make things difficult for myself. If I divorce, I will be sorry for my children.

It seems like it’s a dilemma no matter what choice you make.

Therefore, men who cannot control their lower body really deserve to die.

Pei Yang was talking to Chen's father when he suddenly realized something. He turned his head and met his wife's cold gaze with murderous intent.

Pei Yang asked with his eyes: What's wrong?

Shen Mingzhu withdrew her gaze, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Pei Yang could probably guess what was going on, and silently kept a record of what happened to Chen Yi.

…

In the room.

Pei Wenping and Chen Yi sat opposite each other, one on the edge of the bed and the other on a chair.

The atmosphere became heavy for a moment.

Pei Wenping didn't appreciate it. "Stop talking nonsense and just say what you want to say."

Chen Yi looked at her, his handsome face full of fatigue and helplessness, "Do I not even have the right to care about you now?"

Pei Wenping sneered and opened fire, "If you really care about me and this family, you won't get involved with other women! If you're a whore, stop pretending to be a saint. Why are you pretending to be considerate? Aren't you disgusting?"

Pei Wenping has always had a hot-tempered personality, but she restrained herself in front of Chen Yi and tried hard to be a good wife and mother.

Now that Chen Yi dared to let her down, she was already magnanimous enough not to scold Chen Yi to death.

Chen Yi was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. He sighed, and when he spoke again, his tone was filled with deep self-blame.

"Wen Ping, I am very sorry and regretful for my betrayal."

"I never thought of betraying you and my family. I can't explain it clearly. It seemed like I wasn't myself during that time. I lost my mind."

"Thinking about it now, I still find it incredible. It feels like a dream."

"But now the dream is over, and my relationship with her is over. She has returned to her hometown. The last time we met was just to see her off. We will never see each other again in this life."

Pei Wenping sneered, "Yes, I am such a shrew that I am so ignorant that I broke up the lovers."

Chen Yi shook his head, "Don't say that, Wen Ping, you are my wife, and even more so my lover..."

"Shut up. The word 'lover' coming out of your mouth only makes people feel ridiculous."

Chen Yi lowered his head and was silent for a long time before speaking in frustration.

"I know you won't believe anything I say now, but I sincerely apologize to you and beg for your forgiveness."

"Are you willing to give me another chance as a man who has made a mistake and wants to turn back?"

This time it was Pei Wenping who remained silent.

Chen Yi stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to hold her hand, but she coldly avoided him.

"Don't touch me."

"Wen Ping, can you give me another chance to correct my mistake?"

Pei Wenping stood up, not looking at him, and said in a cold tone, "I will go back with you only for Xiaolu and Xiaochao, not because I forgive you."

…

Shen Mingzhu was not surprised to learn of Pei Wenping's decision.

"Sister, I have something to tell you alone."

Just as Pei Wenping was about to leave with the Chen family with the twins, Shen Mingzhu suddenly called out to Pei Wenping.

Everyone looked at her.

The Chen family, in particular, were extremely nervous, as if they were afraid that she would say something that would influence Pei Wenping and make her change her decision.

Shen Mingzhu didn't care what the Chen family thought and took Pei Wenping directly to the bedroom.

"Sister, the house in the staff quarters has been empty. If you need it, you can move there with Xiaolu and Xiaochao at any time."

Pei Wenping nodded gratefully, "Mingzhu, I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period. Thank you for not despising me. I don't know how to thank you."

"Sister, we are a family and we don't have different opinions. Besides, we are all women, so we should support and help each other."

"Um."

Thinking of what her son said in the morning, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but carefully observe Pei Wenping's expression.

"Big sister, have you been feeling unwell lately? I see that you have been looking bad and have lost a lot of weight. You can't fall down. If you fall down, what will happen to Xiaolu and Xiaochao?"

Pei Wenping hesitated and reached out to cover her chest. "Sometimes I feel chest tightness and nausea. I don't know if it's because I'm angry."

Is there something wrong with my lungs?

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself and advised, "Sister, I'm going to have a full body checkup after the New Year. You can come with me. It's always good to have a checkup."

Pei Wenping agreed.
