Chapter 89 The Noisy Young Couple
In the morning, the sky was a clear blue without a single cloud, indicating that today would be a very hot day.

A black car slowly pulled up in front of the hotel. The driver got out and opened the back door, and then Wen Lan got out of the car with a stern face.

Wenlan looked up at the hotel's name and thought to herself with disdain: That woman really knows how to enjoy herself.

Wenlan's driver rang the doorbell at the hotel room door.

"Who is it?"

Xu Ling's wary voice came from inside the room.

"I'm the hotel manager, I'm here to confirm your stay extension."

The driver calmly answered Xu Ling's question, and the next second, the sound of the door being opened could be heard.

The door was just cracked open when the driver quickly and forcefully opened it all the way, making it easy for Wen Lan behind him to enter the room, and Xu Ling couldn't stop him.

"Auntie, what brings you here?" Xu Ling felt a little flustered when she saw Wen Lan.

Snapped!
Wen Lan didn't bother arguing with Xu Ling. She slapped Xu Ling hard across the face, and Xu Ling, caught off guard, lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Bad guy...bad guy...I'll hit you!" Although Xu Jinghao was young, he could understand that his mother had been hit. He rushed over and angrily punched Wen Lan's legs.

Seeing this, the driver stepped forward and lifted Xu Jinghao up. Xu Jinghao had never seen anything like this before, and he burst into tears.

As a mother, Xu Ling instinctively stood up to protect her son, saying, "Haohao is still young, don't scare him!"

Wen Lan snorted coldly, "He's still young, but you're not, are you?"

The driver let go, and Xu Ling was able to comfort Xu Jinghao in her arms.

"Xu Ling, I already know about the photos. By provoking Zi Yan, you are provoking the entire Pei family." Wen Lan stepped forward and forcefully grabbed Xu Ling's chin, her gaze fierce.

Before Xu Ling could say anything, Wen Lan continued, "Today was just a slap. If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll make your entire Xu family pay the price because of you!"

"But Hao Hao is your own grandson. Don't you care about the bond between grandfather and grandson at all?" Seeing Wen Lan's fierce demeanor, Xu Ling tried to appeal to her family ties by bringing up Xu Jing Hao.

“The child Ziyan will give birth to will be my real grandson. Your son is just a fertilized egg that has developed into a real child.”

Wen Lan didn't take Xu Jinghao seriously at all; she hated anything related to Xu Ling.

Leaving behind these unpleasant words, Wen Lan turned around and left Xu Ling's room with a flourish.

However, Xu Ling was not going to back down. This was nothing; she was barefoot and had nothing to fear.

At the hotel entrance, the driver opened the back door, and Wen Lan gracefully got in. Having just slapped Xu Ling, her mood had finally improved a bit.

The vehicle smoothly drove onto the main road, and Wenlan took out her phone from her bag and dialed Tong Ziyan's number.

As soon as the call connected, Wenlan said gently into the phone, "Ziyan, Mom just gave that ungrateful woman a good scolding, so please calm down, okay?"

Tong Ziyan knew Wen Lan wouldn't remain calm; she could guess that Xu Ling must have suffered a bit. To be honest, she was secretly pleased.

"Mom, that woman isn't the point. Pei Cheng's attitude towards them is the point." "Don't worry, Pei Cheng said he'll agree to anything as long as you don't divorce him."

Wen Lan went to great lengths to win back Tong Ziyan and prevent her from divorcing Pei Cheng.

"Mom, don't try to fool me. Pei Cheng never agrees to everything I ask for."

Tong Ziyan understood that Wen Lan was just trying to coax her into not divorcing Pei Cheng.

“Pei Cheng won’t let you down; he knows the importance of things.” Wen Lan’s words were very apt. Pei Cheng was her son, and she understood him.

"hope so."

After ending her conversation with Wen Lan, Tong Ziyan was in a fairly good mood; the bombshell of divorce had indeed worked.

As night fell, the brightly lit city once again came into view. Mingwei and Pei Ming entered a Western restaurant together. The restaurant looked very stylish and was quite secluded.

When Mingwei came to see Meng Ran today, she was wearing a light purple off-the-shoulder tulle dress with a delicate ruffle around the chest. The light purple dress, along with a simple collarbone necklace, made her look especially gentle today.

She tucked her long hair behind her ears, and a pair of white, round, openwork earrings accentuated her snow-white and slender neck.

The couple had barely sat down when Meng Ran appeared before them with a smile on her face.

Meng Ran was wearing a black sleeveless dress with a circle of white pearls around the neckline, each pearl forming a small flower.

Compared to Ming Weiyi's gentle style, Meng Ran looks more capable.

"President Meng, I've heard Pei Ming mention you before. Today I'm finally fortunate enough to have a meal with you."

Before Meng Ran could sit down, Ming Wei stood up first and extended a friendly hand to Meng Ran, her smile being very natural and appropriate.

"Miss Ming, you flatter me. It is my honor to meet you today through President Pei." Meng Ran gently squeezed Ming Weiyi's hand, and her smile was natural and appropriate.

With Ming Wei also greeting Meng Ran so politely, Pei Ming only exchanged a simple polite remark with Meng Ran.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group sat down. In Ming Weiyi's mind, she felt that Meng Ran was interested in Pei Ming, so she thought today would be a good opportunity to give Meng Ran a warning.

"President Meng, please see what you like to eat. I know you've been a great help to Pei Ming lately, and you've worked very hard helping him select partners. I can only express my gratitude to you through some delicious food."

As Mingwei spoke, she handed the menu to Mengran. From this sentence, she had already shown that she was sensible and that she and Pei Ming were of one mind as husband and wife.

Meng Ran wasn't one to mince words. She took the menu and smiled at Ming Weiyi, saying, "No wonder President Pei came to Jiangcheng to develop his business for you, and took over the Ming family during its crisis. Who wouldn't love such a beautiful and sweet-talking wife?"

In Meng Ran's eyes, all Ming Wei saw was Meng Ran's praise for her, which made Ming Wei somewhat puzzled. Normally, shouldn't Meng Ran be hostile towards her?
Moreover, Pei Ming was quite meticulous; the story he told Meng Ran was exactly the same as the one he used to deceive Fu Baiqing.

"President Meng, please don't praise her anymore, or she'll get all cocky later," Pei Ming said, affectionately stroking Ming Weiyi's head twice.

"What are you doing! In public!" Ming Wei also pretended to be disgusted and took Pei Ming's hand away. The way she winked at Pei Ming was just like a bickering young couple.

Sitting opposite her, Meng Ran sensed the sweetness between Pei Ming and Ming Weiyi. She laughed and teased, "You two, that's enough. Don't look down on me, a single dog."
