As Zhao Fangru asked this question, the private room fell into silence.

The expression on Pei's mother's face froze unexpectedly. She saw that Zhao Fangru and her daughter's expressions began to change, and she came to her senses and hurriedly tried to make amends.

Pei Qing said at this time: "I'm already married."

Nie Wanting's chopsticks fell to the ground. She was dazed for a moment and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Zhao Fangru stood up angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that your son was already married?"

"No, he's talking nonsense..." Mother Pei glared at Pei Qing, "There is a woman who has been pestering our Pei Qing, but they have broken up a long time ago."

Zhao Fangru sneered.

This kind of nonsense can only fool others, but it can never fool their knowledgeable elders.

It had been broken off a long time ago, so why didn't you make it clear at the beginning? What's more, even if that was the case, Pei's mother didn't lie, and Pei Qing was a remarried man.

Even if he was well-off, so what? Did she have to marry her daughter to a married man?

Zhao Fangru directly took Nie Wanting's hand and glared at them, "My daughter can't afford to marry such a man, let's go."

Nie Wanting was still in a daze when she was dragged away. Before leaving, she looked back at Pei Qing reluctantly.

Mother Pei was so angry that she watched the man go away.

She said to Pei Qing in a frustrated tone, "Why did you say that just now?"

"If you just shut up, considering how much that girl likes you, it won't be a difficult matter for you two to have a good relationship."

"Mom, I came here to ask you something."

Pei Qing interrupted coldly, with no warmth in his eyes, which froze Pei's mother. She was subconsciously a little afraid, "What do you want to ask?"

"Did you do anything about Fang Li's child?" Pei Qing spoke word by word, his momentum growing stronger and stronger, even forcing Pei's mother to take a step back.

Realizing the distance she had retreated, Mother Pei lowered her head, her expression particularly grim, "I'm your mother, why are you questioning me like this?"

The man said nothing, his dark eyes filled with stubbornness, staring at her without moving for a moment.

"Okay, okay! I think you have really been bewitched by that woman. Even your own mother doubts you. You might as well send me to the police station." Mother Pei sneered loudly.

"Don't you suspect that I killed the baby in her belly? Then I am a murderer, call the police."

Pei Qing watched her strength, which gradually relaxed as Pei's mother raised her voice, as if she had removed layer after layer of protection until the soft flesh inside was exposed, which was vulnerable to any blow.

His eyes were filled with coldness, and for a moment they were filled with sadness.

Seeing this, Pei's mother panicked for no reason. She was not afraid just now, nor was she when she harmed Fang Li.

But now she was afraid.

"Son, don't be like this... Mom is doing this for your own good." She tried to persuade him, "If Fang Li continues to stay by your side, it will kill you! Really, it's not just public opinion, I checked the person she was rumored to be with."

"That's the Fu Group, a huge group that can cover the sky with one hand. How can ordinary people like us compete with it? Your company has just started, and you don't have any chance to fight against such a behemoth..."

No matter how much Pei's mother said, Pei Qing shook his head: "No, Mom, you are wrong. I don't care about any company."

He simply doesn't have the ambitions that others think.

Having been Ye Nanzhou's assistant for so many years, he has long been accustomed to being someone's deputy, which is also pretty good.

It was for Fang Li that he decided to change and wanted to start a company. All of this started with the desire to give her a better life.

But, is Fang Li having a good life now?

A trace of confusion flashed across Pei Qing's eyes. He suddenly didn't know whether his persistence was right or wrong.

Maybe if they didn't start the company, they could have used other methods to convince Mr. Fang and others, and then things wouldn't have turned out like this?

"You can go back. I won't come out again." Pei Qing paused and said to Pei's mother behind him, "Give me the rest of your saffron."

After saying that, he left.

This time, Pei's mother and Pei Qing parted on bad terms.

After that, Pei Qing stayed with Fang Li all the time, and even let go of the company's affairs, leaving them to others to take care of temporarily.

Fortunately, Ye Nanzhou is there to help watch over it.

With his company day and night, Fang Li's condition improved a lot, and she seemed to have gradually come out of the shadow of losing her child. Only occasionally, she would stare at some small toys in a daze.

Sometimes it’s a bottle that someone else is using, sometimes it’s a small toy…

But it's recovering well after all.

Seeing that she was getting better, Pei Qing was finally able to relax a little. After being silent for a few days, his mother finally called and agreed to give the saffron to him.

When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately asked his assistant to get it.

But how could Mother Pei not guess what he was thinking: "You can ask for things, but you have to come and get them yourself."

Pei Qing thought about it, agreed, said something to Fang Li, and went home to get his things.

But he never expected that not long after he left, Fang Li would sneak out of the hospital and follow him.

"Master, please help me catch up with the Audi in front, thank you." Fang Li said to the Didi driver.

The driver glanced at the black Audi two spaces away from him and said meaningfully, "Girl, it's not good to do this in broad daylight."

Then prepare for a painstaking education.

"My husband is cheating on me, and I'm going to catch him." Fang Li shut him up with just one sentence. Seeing the driver choking, she held the phone tightly with no expression on her face.

Fang Li couldn't be said to be lying.

She turned on her cell phone and clicked on the MMS she had received a day ago. It was sent from an unfamiliar number.

is a picture.

When I clicked on it, I saw a man and a woman sitting together eating. There were two people beside them, as if they were trying to bring the couple together. One of them was Pei's mother.

And that man was Pei Qing.

Fang Li tightened her fingers one by one as she stared at the low-pixel picture, almost staring a hole in the man's profile.

Her heart ached, as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was because of this photo that Fang Li decided to follow Pei Qing back.

She didn't believe other people's one-sided words, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Seeing Fang Li suddenly silent, the driver seemed to have guessed something, feeling a little pity and sympathy, and stepped on the accelerator without saying a word.

Fifteen minutes later, Fang Li arrived downstairs at Pei's house.

The Pei family lives in an apartment.

There is a small playground outside here, which is usually the favorite place for retired old ladies and old men. They often gossip there.

As luck would have it, when Fang Li came over, she heard someone say, "I just saw the son of the Pei family. Oh, he's so handsome."

"That's right. I heard that he opened his own company and became a boss. It's a pity that he already has a promising daughter-in-law. Just now I saw Pei ask his mother to bring a girl up. Now that he has met his parents, he must be getting married soon."
