Pei Yuchen did not hesitate at all. “Alright.”
Ning Mengmeng was a little surprised. She did not expect the man to agree so readily.
“I knew you were the best! Then let’s go over for dinner. I’ll tell Grandpa.” Normally, she could have told Ning Hexiang about this.
However, their father-daughter relationship had ended, so she had nothing to say.
In that family, the only person she cared about was her grandfather.
“Yes.”
Pei Yuchen replied softly. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was feeling uncomfortable all over…
Pei Yuchen’s gaze gradually lingered on her smooth back. Even though her back was facing the man, she could still feel his burning gaze.
Ning Mengmeng didn’t dare to come into contact with this man. She quickly got up, grabbed a set of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Pei Yuchen accompanied Ning Mengmeng the entire day.
After getting the servants to prepare the gifts, Pei Yuchen personally drove Ning Mengmeng to her parents’ house.
This was…
Knowing that Pei Yuchen would be coming over, all the servants in the Ning family got busy. They specially asked Pei Yuchen what dishes he was willing to eat. No one dared to neglect him.
Even Ning Yushi was busy putting on makeup. She wanted to put on the most exquisite makeup that Pei Yuchen could not take his eyes off.
For two consecutive hours, she was not satisfied with her makeup. She had to put on and remove it several times.
Ning Yushi’s mother was sitting behind her. She was wearing a green cheongsam with yellow chrysanthemums embroidered on it. Her curly hair just reached her chin. Even though she was over forty years old, she looked like a woman in her thirties. She was graceful and elegant.
Moreover, she had maintained her figure extremely well. Her skin was tight and her curves were curvy. When she stood next to Ning Yushi, they looked more like sisters.
This was also the reason why Ning Hexiang had always liked Ning Yushi’s mother.
Seeing that Ning Yushi was about to lose her temper, Li Xiuying shook her head helplessly. “Let Mom do it for you. You’re too nervous today.”
Ning Yushi pursed her lips. Her makeup skills were usually superb, but she did not expect that she would not be able to draw the effect she wanted today.
Hearing her mother’s words, she could only nod.
“Alright then.”
Li Xiuying took the eyebrow pencil from Ning Yu Shi’s hand and gently traced her eyebrows.
“When they come over later, try to talk less, but as long as you say something, it must not be nonsense, understand?”
Ning Yushi did not move, afraid that her mother would draw the wrong place.
“Yes, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Li Xiuying nodded. Her daughter had always been very smart, so she didn’t intend to be long-winded. Instead, she chatted with her as if they were talking about daily life.
“I’ve long taken a fancy to Pei Yuchen as my son-in-law. I don’t know what’s so good about Ning Mengmeng. Why did it have to be her in the first place?”
Ning Yushi was about to frown, but when she remembered that she was putting on makeup, she held it in. She clenched her fists and said angrily, “I don’t get it either. I’m obviously much better than Ning Mengmeng, so why would Pei Yuchen like that woman? Besides, my status is now higher than Ning Mengmeng’s. From the beginning to the end, other than her slightly better-looking face, how is she better than me?”
Ning Yushi was also very exquisite, but… Ning Mengmeng was still much better looking than her, but Ning Yushi was unwilling to admit and believe it.
Li Xiuying sighed softly. “It’s okay. Even if he likes her, it doesn’t matter. After all, she has been courting death from the beginning. I think Pei Yuchen has long disliked her. Divorce is only a matter of time. You just have to work hard, but you have to be careful.. Things like complaining must not come from your mouth, understand?”
