Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 71 I'm really giving you too much credit.

At 10 p.m., a plane landed smoothly at the airport in City C.

Even after getting off the plane, Mingwei still felt a sense of unreality; she had just followed Pei Ming to this unfamiliar city.

Compared to the feeling of unreality, Mingwei was also a little nervous. She was about to go to Pei Ming's house and meet Pei Ming's family.

At the airport exit, Pei Ming immediately spotted the car that had come to pick him and Ming Weiyi up. He naturally took Ming Weiyi's arm and led her to a black car.

As soon as she got into the car, Mingwei was somewhat surprised to find that the people who came to pick her and Pei Ming up were Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan.

"Hello, brother, hello, sister-in-law..." Mingwei, who had just sat in the back seat, also greeted Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan obediently.

Pei Ming wasn't as well-behaved as Ming Weiyi. He teased Pei Cheng in a cheeky way, saying, "What day is it today? The usually busy CEO Pei actually drove to pick me up in person."

"Pick you up? Who do you think you are? I'm really giving you too much face." Pei Cheng wouldn't hold back with Pei Ming; he'd always thought Pei Ming deserved to be roasted.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for Weiwei coming to City C, your brother wouldn’t have paid any attention to you at all.” Tong Ziyan said, turning her head to smile at Pei Ming and Ming Weiyi.

Listening to Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan's attacks on Pei Ming, Ming Wei chuckled, amused by the spectacle, "Oh dear, someone's about to shatter..."

"Oh, by the way, when we get home I'll take you to see the dress I prepared for you, it's super pretty and ethereal!" In a girl's eyes, nothing is more important than beautiful clothes.

"Oh, oh, oh! Sister-in-law, you're so kind of you! Not only did you prepare sparkly jewelry for me, but you also prepared a beautiful dress for me. I love you so much!"

When Ming Wei looked at Tong Ziyan, her eyes seemed to be filled with little stars; she truly felt that Tong Ziyan was too good to her.

It was clear that Mingwei was genuinely happy, and Tong Ziyan, who had meticulously prepared all of this, was even happier. "Weiwei, you have such a sweet tongue, so sweet that I want to buy you all the most beautiful things."

At this moment, Pei Cheng suddenly interjected, "Weiwei has Pei Ming to give her, so don't compete with Pei Ming for her."

"I never expected someone to be so stingy." As soon as Pei Cheng opens his mouth, Pei Ming will definitely not let him off the hook.

"Okay, okay... I'll cut my losses and withdraw my investment from your project in Jiangcheng immediately."

"You can leave or not, but Dad definitely won't leave."

"Your brother just said the day before yesterday that you're lucky to have a biased dad, hahaha..."

Tong Ziyan had seen the Pei brothers bickering many times, and she was used to playing the role of "stirring up trouble".

Pei Ming nodded in satisfaction at Tong Ziyan's words, "It's good that someone knows."

"Don't get cocky. I'll kick you out of the Pei Group one day." Pei Cheng said casually, showing that he often said this.

"If I kick you out of the Pei Group, don't worry, I'll take you in, hahaha..."

Ming Wei hadn't realized before that Pei Cheng and Pei Ming were really funny when they were together in private.

"Yes, yes, you should stay in the Ming family and do your job well. Don't come to the Pei family and get in my way."

Pei Cheng seemed to dislike Pei Ming more and more as he spoke, but in reality, he wanted to reassure Ming Wei that the Pei family was willing to let Pei Ming manage the Ming Group.

"Alright then, I'll thank you for doing charity for me. You work so hard to earn money, and in the end, you still have to share it with me." When Pei Ming said this, he really did look a little more shameless.

"Brother, listen to me, don't give him a single penny. How can he talk so rudely?" Ming Weiyi immediately started stirring things up.

Pei Cheng smiled slightly, "You've noticed too, haven't you? He's just a shameless person."

Finally, amidst the brothers' bickering, Tong Ziyan uttered a fair and impartial statement: "I think you two are alike; the older brother doesn't criticize the younger one." Ming Wei nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice; she genuinely agreed with Tong Ziyan's words, "Hahaha...actually, I think so too!"

The four people in the car were laughing and chatting all the way, making the journey home seem shorter. Before long, the car drove into the Pei family's mansion.

Jiangcheng, Mingjia

Compared to the brightly lit Pei family mansion, the lights in the Ming family mansion had been gradually turned off.

In the corridor on the first floor, Yan Jie pushed the wheelchair toward the bedroom, where Ming Hui looked somewhat tired.

Since Minghui lost his ability to walk, he has been living in a room on the first floor.

"Judging from the timing, Weiwei should have arrived at the Pei family by now." The surroundings were quiet, and Yan Jie spoke softly.

Upon hearing about Ming Weiyi's situation, Ming Hui, who had been feeling drowsy, became much more alert. "Ask... in a bit... ask..."

“If it weren’t for me having to take care of you, and the fact that Weiwei’s engagement had to be kept secret from many people, she wouldn’t have had to go through this process in City C alone.” From Yan Jie’s tone, you could tell that she felt wronged for Ming Wei.

How could Minghui not feel heartache for his precious daughter? He slowly raised his left hand and grasped Yan Jie's right hand, "At...the wedding..."

"Then you must recover well. When Weiwei and Pei Ming have their wedding in October, we will make it up to Weiwei properly."

"well……"

However, Yan Jie wasn't too worried about Ming Weiyi going to the Pei family. She knew that Pei Zhenhua and Wen Lan would take good care of Ming Weiyi.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Jie felt that the marriage alliance between the Ming family and the Pei family was quite reassuring.

C City, Pei Family Mansion
The Pei family had a "distinguished guest," and the atmosphere inside the house was cheerful.

As soon as Ming Weiyi stepped into the Pei family's house, Wen Lan happily and warmly took Ming Weiyi's hand and led her towards the living room.

"Weiwei, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon every day, and you've finally come to our home."

"Aunt Lan, it's so late, and I'm sorry to trouble you and Uncle Pei to wait for me."

"No need to trouble yourself. Come to our house. No matter how late it is, your Uncle Pei and I will wait for you."

Following behind Wen Lan was Pei Zhenhua, who asked with a smile, "Weiwei, did you eat anything this afternoon before boarding the plane? Are you hungry now?"

“Uncle Pei, I ate something before boarding the plane, I’m not hungry, really,” Ming Weiyi turned around and politely replied to Pei Zhenhua.

There were three other people who had walked in with the Pei family in the living room, but their presence was as if they were invisible.

"I'm a grown man, and I'm home. Can't you see me, Mom and Dad?" Pei Ming hadn't been home for over a month, yet Pei Zhenhua and Wen Lan completely ignored him.

Pei Zhenhua glanced at Pei Ming and said without any politeness, "Get out of my way!"

This scene made Pei Cheng laugh and pat Pei Ming on the shoulder, "Be sensible, I advise you to wash up and go to bed early."

When the topic of washing up and going to bed came up, Tong Ziyan seemed to suddenly remember something. "Dad, Mom, it's already late. Weiwei has to get ready early tomorrow morning. Let's let her go to rest early."

Wen Lan thought Tong Ziyan's words made a lot of sense, so she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then Pei Ming should take Weiwei to rest. We can have a good talk as a family tomorrow."

While Mingwei and Pei Zhenhua exchanged a few more polite words with Wenlan, Tong Ziyan gave Pei Ming a look that said, "How are you going to thank me?"
