Chapter 280 Mistress, What Mistress (Bai Pei)
Inside the restaurant, the door separated the inside from the outside.

With a wealthy man perched on Cheng Yubai's shoulder, he wasn't in a hurry and even reached out a finger to tease it.

As for Pei Yan, he was like a child, stubbornly waiting for Shen Zhaoyi to point out someone's mistake.

Xu Meng came out of the kitchen to set the table, but she accidentally entered this strange situation, unsure whether to go in or not.

"Um, can I borrow your light?" The clay pot in her hand compelled her to speak to Cheng Yubai, who was closest to her.

The latter readily stepped aside, very politely.

It was this interruption that brought Shen Zhaoyi back to her senses, and she left the restaurant without looking back.

Regarding the confrontation just now, all she could say was, "Behave yourselves and leave early after you finish eating."

The best way to solve a problem is to detach yourself and not get involved.

Cheng Yubai seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He looked past Shen Zhaoyi and mouthed a second provocation to Pei Yan.

"be honest."

In this round, they narrowly lost again.

The aunties still had two dishes left, so with three people and a bird, the battleground moved back to the living room.

Pei Yan sat down next to him, puffing out his cheeks.

He wanted to move closer, but Cheng Yubai shamelessly sat down on Shen Zhaoyi's left.

He was also accompanied by a wealthy man.

The fox borrows the bird's power; the fox relies on the bird's strength!
The puppy's accusations were strong. Originally, Shen Zhaoyi was thinking of taking out her phone to ask Mumu how the old man was doing this morning, but now she couldn't ignore this intense gaze at all.

Men are such a hassle!

He grumbled inwardly, sighed, leaned back on the sofa, tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, and adopted the posture of the host.

"What exactly do you two want by coming here today?"

Having already prepared his reasons, Pei Yan was brimming with confidence and immediately straightened his back, replying, "I'm here to talk to you about psychological budgeting."

Last night, he went back and searched for the most difficult-to-obtain car models both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, it depends on where Shen Zhaoyi's bottom line is.

The higher the price, the more complicated the process becomes.

Later on, this topic can naturally be used to continuously maintain a sense of presence.

Cheng Yubai knew that the two had a car team as a medium, so he naturally assumed that the budget must be some new plan.

It seems the new site for the laboratory is not as effective as expected.

Just how much spare money does this woman have that she can't spend?

Despite his complaints, he quickly responded after receiving the signal that Pei Yan was gloating.

Who comes here without having any serious business to attend to?

"I've come to bring you something."

"It's in the car. Go get it after you finish eating."

That's much more appealing than spending money.

Shen Zhaoyi's gaze fell on the display case in the distance.

Listing the things Cheng Yubai brought during his visits: donation certificates, banners, property ownership certificates...

You know what, it really is quite unique.

Such a surreal turn of events left her momentarily unable to guess what this person had brought with them today.

Seeing the scales that had been so carefully balanced about tipping back to the other side, Pei Yan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

He's not good with words and his brain isn't very sharp either.

Forget it.

Unfortunately, I ran into Cheng Yubai again today.

They were completely suppressed.

He huddled to one side, feeling resentful, thinking that he mustn't be the first to be kicked out. He had to stay and see what this heartless bastard was up to by coming to his door to freeload.

The scene between the two men has finally reached the intermission.

Shen Zhaoyi was able to catch her breath.

I took out my phone again to unlock it.

There was still no reply from Su Ye, probably because he was busy with work today.

As for Han Ziyang, he was still hungover.

Qiu Yu, who worked overtime all night, is now preparing for the morning meeting.

On WeChat, there was a rare moment of peace. Shen Zhaoyi clicked on Mu Mu's profile picture and first asked him if he had arrived at the hospital.

We hired a caregiver, and with extra manpower to help, we don't need to go and watch over her day and night.

Coincidentally, there was no response after the message was sent.

As I swiped down on my phone's status bar to check if there was a network problem, Cheng Yubai, who was openly watching the whole thing, "kindly" reminded me, "Your signal is full."

If the second and fourth mistresses are ignoring you, you can try talking to the third mistress.

"A mistress?" Pei Yan was startled by these words and perked up his ears alertly. "What mistress?!"

Cheng Yubai watched his reaction with amusement.

With slender fingertips pointing at her chin, she was practically revealing her identity.

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at it indifferently, subtly revealing her true intentions.

"There was no mistress."

Indeed, neither of the two people here got a spot.

Cheng Yubai sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite grasp the situation at the moment.

Shen Zhaoyi left it at that and didn't want to go into details.

She continued scrolling through other messages until it was time to eat.

Today, Zhou Yi took Lao Wang to buy gifts to visit Su Ye's parents, and the restaurant was rather empty.

At this age, the aunties are most prone to gossip. They exchanged glances several times as they looked at the two men sitting on either side of the main seat, fawning over them like protectors.

Xu Meng couldn't help but want to advise them to tone it down a bit.

But I couldn't resist the urge to keep watching.

The food was served early and left to cool. Cheng Yubai would occasionally use serving chopsticks to put food on Shen Zhaoyi's plate, showing his thoughtfulness in other aspects.

Pei Yan followed suit immediately.

The third competition was changed to see whose food was eaten first.

The final result is obvious.

Cheng Yubai was good at reading people's expressions, and he immediately stopped after noticing Shen Zhaoyi's displeasure.

But that didn't stop him from leaving Pei Yan in the pit.

Looking at the pile of plates that had grown into a small mountain, I silently counted in my mind:

"three."

"two."

"one……"

The countdown ended, and Pei Yan's chopsticks, which he was about to use, were intercepted.

Shen Zhaoyi suppressed the urge to flip the table and said in an unfriendly tone, "Why don't you skip the competition tomorrow, pack your things, and come work as a servant in my house?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of annoyance flashed in Cheng Yubai's eyes, hidden behind his glasses.

This guy is really lucky.

But not all words can be considered an effective olive branch for advancement.

Because Pei Yan doesn't yet understand the principle of taking advantage of someone's opportunity.

He honestly rejected Shen Zhaoyi's suggestion.

"The race still has to be run."

"But if you really need it, I can come over when I'm resting."

Xu Meng nearly choked when she heard these outrageous words.

Hey handsome, do you even know what you're saying?

Cheng Yubai never expected that this clueless young man would accidentally give a perfect answer.

I underestimated it.

He calmly put down the bowl and took the initiative to steer the conversation away from the topic: "This family has a housekeeper and a nanny, so you don't need to get involved."

Instead of thinking about taking care of people, you should run a few more laps during your rest time and give some tangible feedback.

"You!" Pei Yan sensed his disdain and immediately turned her attention to him.

"Who's the one who's just joining in the fun?!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the aunties tacitly followed Xu Meng's previous approach and orderly went to the kitchen.
