My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Upon seeing the gift Jiang Shutong bought for Old Master Pei, Pei Yichen's face immediately darkened.

What is this woman thinking about all day long...?

He just said it casually, and she actually took it seriously?

After buying the gift for Grandpa Pei, Jiang Shutong checked her WeChat balance and said, "I still have a thousand yuan in my bank account. How about I buy Dad a few outfits..."

Our dad?

Sitting in his wheelchair, Pei Yichen looked up at her, his expression somewhat strange. "You mean my dad?"

Jiang Shutong nodded emphatically, "Yeah, as his son, how can you tolerate your father picking clothes out of garbage dumps? You live in a big house and drive a car, while your dad lives in a dirty and chaotic urban village, in a tiny room of only a few square meters..."

Pei Yichen rubbed his forehead and fell silent, no longer speaking.

Jiang Shutong excitedly pushed him to the men's clothing store.

The sales assistant greeted me warmly with a standard smile, "Miss, are you buying clothes for your boyfriend?"

She quickly spotted the man in the wheelchair behind Jiang Shutong. At first glance, she was stunned by his handsome face, but then felt sorry that such a handsome man was disabled.

Jiang Shutong shook her head. "No, I'm buying clothes for my father-in-law. Do you have any recommendations?"

She would never buy clothes for Pei Yichen.

His walk-in closet was overflowing with clothes, mostly from brands she didn't recognize—what a spendthrift!

She dresses so well herself, yet makes her elderly father scavenge clothes from the garbage dump.

In her opinion, no matter how bad the relationship between the father and son was, it shouldn't be enough to completely ignore him, right?

Although she doesn't have a good relationship with her mother, she still sends her father two thousand dollars every month so that they don't starve.

When the shop assistant heard that she was buying clothes for her father-in-law, she first smiled and praised her for being filial, and then said to Pei Yichen, "Sir, your wife is so filial. This is the first time I've ever seen someone come to buy clothes for their father-in-law."

Pei Yichen gave a soft "hmm," his gaze falling on Jiang Shutong, who was already focused on picking out clothes. His deep eyes softened with a gentleness he himself didn't realize.

Finally, following the sizes provided by Pei Yichen, Jiang Shutong picked out three outfits. The shop assistant packed them up and said with a smile, "That'll be 1,500 in total."

Jiang Shutong frowned; she only had one thousand yuan left in her account.

Pei Yichen noticed her lack of money and handed her a bank card, saying, "Use mine."

"No need," Jiang Shutong stopped him. "It was agreed that I would give it to him, so naturally I should use my money."

As she spoke, she pulled out another credit card. "Use this."

She rarely uses credit cards because she doesn't want to spend future expenses in advance; she only uses them when absolutely necessary.

As they walked out of the store carrying large bags, the man suddenly asked, "Why didn't you use the salary card I gave you before?"

He hasn't received any transaction notifications since he gave her the card.

This shows that she is completely useless.

Jiang Shutong shrugged. "Because we don't have any big expenses at home, we don't need them at all. My own salary is enough to cover our expenses."

"Since I've given it to you, you can use it as you see fit. There's 500,000 in the card; consider it my betrothal gift to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shutong paused, "How much?"

Is Boyu Group's salary really that good? I paid the down payment for Mingjing Garden, bought a car, and still have 500,000 in savings?

Seeing her mouth agape in surprise, Pei Yichen coughed lightly and casually made up a story: "My grandfather gave me some."

"oh."

Jiang Shutong understood instantly.

The money that Grandpa Pei earned with the rich woman was spent on his grandson, not his son. Is this the legendary special affection between grandparents and grandchildren?

She continued pushing Pei Yichen forward, saying, "Then I absolutely cannot spend this money; it's Grandpa's hard-earned money."

She couldn't possibly spend that money.

Pei Yichen: ...

One lie requires a hundred more to cover it up.

In fact, he could tell Jiang Shutong his true identity now, because he no longer intends to divorce her.

Jiang Shutong would never want to leave him.

Naturally, there won't be the kind of messy property division that the father worried about during the divorce.

However, he promised his father that he could reveal his true identity a year later.

Moreover, Jiang Shutong's every word and action revealed her rejection and disgust towards the rich.

He didn't seem so eager to confront the truth anymore.

This kind of ordinary life doesn't seem so difficult to endure.

-

Midnight.

Pei Zhengping successfully picked up Grandpa Pei at the Beijing airport.

Mr. Pei is 69 years old this year, but because he exercises regularly and has a good mindset, he looks very young.

His muscles were incredibly strong and hard, even surpassing many young people.

He was wearing a Tang suit at the moment, his back straight as a pine tree, and he looked to be no more than fifty years old.

Despite the time difference, Grandpa Pei was still in high spirits. Upon seeing his son, he first questioned him with dissatisfaction, "Zhengping, why didn't you tell me about such a big event as Yichen's wedding?"

Pei Zhengping took the suitcase from Grandpa Pei's hands, and spoke in a softer voice in front of his father, "Dad, you don't know, Yichen is really rebellious..."

As he spoke, he embellished the story, recounting how Pei Yichen rejected the marriage proposal from the Wen family and how he absurdly dragged a random woman off the street to marry him.

"Tell me, isn't he just being ridiculous? Luckily, I was quick-witted and ordered him not to tell that woman his identity as the heir to the Boyu Group, otherwise he would have been extorted for a hefty sum during the divorce."

Boyu Group's daily revenue is astronomical. Even if they divorce after only two months of marriage, Pei Yichen will still have to give her half of what he earned during those two months...

If you give her a sum of money and she's willing to divorce, things will be fine. But maybe she'll still be reluctant to give up her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family and refuse to divorce. In that case, the divorce case will take another year or two.

Pei Zhengping had a headache just thinking about it.

The next second, he was indeed struck by a sharp pain in his head.

He looked up and saw that Old Master Pei had given him a hard slap.

He covered his head, "Dad, why did you hit me?"

Grandpa Pei glared at him angrily, "I'm telling you, you're confused! Yichen finally agreed to get married after a lot of trouble. As long as the other person is a woman, what do you care? You don't want a grandson, but I want a great-grandson!"

"Dad, Yichen carries the heavy burden of this arranged marriage..."

Pei Yichen not only has a face that can captivate the world, but also the business acumen to turn the tide with a flick of his wrist. Such a prodigy is the object of many noble ladies' desires for marriage alliances.

Pei Zhengping was reluctant to give up the enormous benefits of this marriage alliance.

Old Master Pei snorted, "Back then, you insisted on marrying Xinling, did I object? Now, you're putting on airs like a father to Yichen."

Back then, the Fang family was also extremely poor, but he didn't object.

"I'm putting my words here: if you dare to make Yichen get a divorce, then you should go and get a divorce first..."
