Chapter 77 My Wife is Of Course Amazing

A day goes by so quickly; before we knew it, it was getting dark.

The living room of the Pei family mansion was brightly lit. Pei Zhenhua sat on the sofa with a serious expression, as if he was waiting for someone to return.

Sitting next to him was Wen Lan, who also had a stern face. Like Pei Ming, they both felt that Pei Cheng's mess had affected Ming Weiyi's engagement party.

Not long after, the person they were waiting for finally walked towards the living room, but Pei Cheng returned alone.

"Where is Ziyan?" Wenlan didn't see Tong Ziyan, so she questioned Pei Cheng without any politeness.

"Ziyan went home. She said she wanted to be alone." Pei Cheng's voice was a little weak. He knew he hadn't been able to bring Tong Ziyan back today, and he was bound to get a scolding.

“Your mother told me everything that happened today. That woman took the child to Pei Ming’s engagement venue. How am I supposed to explain this to your Uncle Ming and Aunt Yan now?”

Pei Zhenhua pointed at Pei Cheng and roared angrily, his loud voice echoing in the previously silent mansion.

Pei Cheng understood that the Ming family had a reason for sending Ming Weiyi to City C alone, which meant that the Ming family had complete confidence in the Pei family's handling of the engagement banquet. Who would have thought that the engagement banquet would be disrupted by Xu Ling at the end?

"Dad, I will apologize to Pei Ming and Weiwei for what happened today, and I will also appease the Ming family."

Pei Cheng was quite remorseful for causing today's unpleasant situation due to his own actions.

"What are you going to do with that child?" Pei Zhenhua changed the subject, asking the most crucial question of the day.

“I will pay the child support, on the condition that Xu Ling and the child continue to stay abroad and do not disturb my and Zi Yan’s lives.”

“If you pay child support, doesn’t that mean you’re admitting that the child is yours?” Wen Lan raised an eyebrow; she was not satisfied with Pei Cheng’s answer.

"What's the point of admitting it or not?" Pei Cheng didn't want to be so ruthless; he hoped Wen Lan would agree to the solution he had just proposed.

"You didn't know that woman was pregnant and gave birth?" Pei Zhenhua looked at Pei Cheng with an unusually fierce gaze.

"I absolutely don't know." Pei Cheng quickly answered Pei Zhenhua's question; he hadn't seen Pei Zhenhua so angry in a long time.

"Let me tell you, you are not allowed to get a DNA test, nor are you allowed to admit that the child is yours. If she dares to cause trouble under my nose, Pei Zhenhua, she can forget about getting a single penny from the Pei family!"

Pei Cheng knew his father's personality very well, and he knew that there was no room for negotiation with Pei Zhenhua on this matter.

Wen Lan nodded and continued, following Pei Zhenhua's words: "Your father and I agree. The Pei family has two legally married daughters-in-law, and we don't need other women to eagerly bear children for the Pei family."

"But……"

Before Pei Cheng could finish speaking, Wen Lan glared at him and said sternly, "Shut up! What 'but'? Didn't you give her enough money back then? Do you think I don't know anything? She's just trying to embarrass the Pei family and is taking advantage of my kindness!"

Wen Lan's voice grew louder and louder, and she became increasingly angry. Moreover, what she said left Pei Cheng speechless.

"I turned a blind eye to what you did back then, but if you acknowledge this child now and let that woman get her way, I, Pei Zhenhua, will disown you as my son!"

Pei Zhenhua's voice was even louder and angrier, and this intimidating force made Ming Weiyi stand at the door of her house, not daring to take another step inside.

Ming Wei and Pei Ming, who were waiting outside, had changed back into their everyday clothes, and their expressions clearly showed they had been out having fun. Their timing was quite coincidental; they arrived just as Pei Zhenhua was scolding Pei Cheng. Pei Ming, however, seemed unfazed, and in fact, his return was a good opportunity to help Pei Cheng out of the predicament, so he calmly walked into the living room.

"Dad, Mom, Weiwei and I are back." Pei Ming knew that with Mingwei there, Pei Zhenhua and Wen Lan wouldn't get angry again.

Sure enough, when he saw Ming Wei walk up to Pei Ming, Pei Zhenhua's expression softened considerably. "You two are back just in time. Your brother just said he wants to apologize to you both for what happened today."

Upon hearing the word "apology," Ming Wei quickly waved her hand at Pei Cheng.

"No, no, no, brother, you really don't need to apologize to us. You are a victim today too, you are innocent, we can understand how you feel."

Honestly, Mingwei also felt that Pei Cheng was quite miserable today. Not only did he suddenly have a son, so he had to put in a lot of effort to coax his wife, but now he was also being scolded like a dog by his parents.

"Our Pei family's daughters-in-law are all the best; each one is dignified, poised, and understanding." Wen Lan, taking advantage of Ming Wei's presence, deliberately made a sarcastic remark about Xu Ling.

"Dad, Mom, calm down. My brother is a grown man; he knows what to do." At this crucial moment, Pei Ming would definitely protect Pei Cheng.

"He knows what to do? He just said he'd pay child support! I think he just thinks the Pei family has too much money and nowhere to spend it!"

Pei Zhenhua looked like he was about to lose his temper again, so Pei Ming quickly gave Ming Wei a look that suggested she step in and help Pei Cheng.

Mingwei immediately understood Pei Ming's look, and she knew how to quickly calm Pei Zhenhua down.

"Dad, please don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your health over an outsider," Ming Wei said, gently pulling on Pei Zhenhua's arm, looking very obedient.

"What did you just call me?" Pei Zhenhua's focus was not on Ming Weiyi's advice to him, but on how Ming Weiyi had just addressed him.

To reassure Pei Zhenhua that he hadn't just imagined it, Ming Wei said to him again, "Dad, don't be angry. Pei Ming and I will definitely try to persuade my brother to listen to you."

Upon hearing that Ming Wei had indeed changed her tune towards him, Pei Zhenhua's angry demeanor vanished. He smiled gently at Ming Wei and said, "Alright, since you've spoken up, then Dad won't be angry anymore."

Seeing that Ming Wei had changed her address to Pei Zhenhua, Wen Lan certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity. She glared at Pei Cheng again, "I'm angry too!"

Mingwei knew what Wenlan meant. She turned to Wenlan and took her arm affectionately. "Mom, don't be angry. You're not pretty when you're angry."

Having heard what she wanted to hear, Wenlan changed into a kind expression, "Okay, then Mom will listen to you and won't be angry anymore."

The scene before him shocked Pei Cheng, as did Pei Ming. He truly hadn't expected Ming Wei to change her tune now and stop Pei Zhenhua and Wen Lan from getting angry at Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng, who had been rescued by Ming Wei, was finally spared from being scolded, and the three of them made up an excuse and slipped away.

"Weiwei, you were really amazing just now!" Pei Cheng gave Ming Weiyi a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course my wife is amazing." Pei Ming proudly put his arm around Ming Weiyi's shoulder, admiring her quick reaction.

Pei Ming's embrace, coupled with the words "my wife," made Ming Weiyi's heart flutter again. She didn't even dare to look into Pei Ming's gentle eyes.
