Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 9 It turns out it was lust at first sight.

In City C, the morning sun shines softly. A villa sits amidst a picturesque garden, its exterior elegant and dignified. From the entrance to the dining room, every inch of space has been meticulously designed, blending modern and classic elements. Inside the spacious and bright house, exquisite furniture and carefully arranged flowers create a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

I have some big news to tell you two!

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she walked into the restaurant. She had long, straight black hair, wore casual home clothes, and her excellent skin made her look as if time had erased all traces of age.

"What is it?" The young man sitting at the dining table looked up at his mother, Wen Lan.

The man was Pei Cheng, the eldest son of the Pei family, and sitting next to him was his beautiful and gentle wife, Tong Ziyan.

"Didn't Pei Ming go to Jiangcheng? Your father said that as soon as he arrived, he got engaged to your Uncle Ming's daughter."

Wen Lan's words shocked the two people at the table. "Pei Ming is really good at keeping things quiet. He didn't even tell his older brother about this important matter of marriage before getting married on his own?"

"I heard from your father that your Uncle Ming was hospitalized with a cerebral infarction. The Ming family is now leaderless and in trouble. The Ming family values ​​Pei Ming highly." Wen Lan felt quite proud that her son was appreciated and valued. Her appetite for breakfast was much better today.

"A stroke? Is Uncle Ming's condition serious?" Pei Cheng put down his cutlery and asked with concern.

"He has woken up, but he is partially paralyzed and needs some time to recover. During this time, the Ming family needs someone to take charge."

"Doesn't Uncle Ming have a son and a daughter? Why does he need Pei Ming to take charge?" Pei Cheng asked, puzzled.

“My daughter has no experience managing a company, and my son isn’t interested in their company. What we need now is a capable son-in-law.” Wen Lan finished speaking and took a big gulp of her juice. “Haha…then Pei Ming is the chosen one.” Pei Cheng, the older brother, knew perfectly well whether his younger brother was capable of managing the company; he knew Pei Ming could definitely do it.

This joyous occasion prompted Tong Ziyan to join the conversation. She asked softly, "Mom, is Pei Ming's fiancée the eldest daughter of the Jiangcheng Ming Group?"

Wen Lan nodded, then looked at Tong Ziyan curiously, "Yes, you know her?"

“I don’t know her, but my cousin had a crush on her when he was studying abroad. He said she was very beautiful and had a great personality and was very low-key.”

This gossip made Pei Cheng and his mother laugh together. Pei Cheng casually remarked, "No wonder Pei Ming agreed to marry her so readily; it turns out he was lustful at first sight."

"This also shows that our Pei Ming has good taste!" Hearing her eldest daughter-in-law say this, Wen Lan wanted to see Ming Weiyi even more. When Ming Weiyi was little, she looked like a doll and she liked her very much. After so many years, Ming Weiyi must have grown into a beautiful young woman.

Like Wen Lan, Pei Cheng and Tong Ziyan were also eager to meet their sister-in-law. The couple mainly wanted to gossip about why Pei Ming had agreed to the marriage and whether the eldest daughter of the Ming family had any feelings for Pei Ming.

On Friday, the food rumor scandal involving Ming's Group had not yet subsided, and the new product that the sales department wanted to launch was also put on hold. Everyone left work early today.

Summer is almost here, and it's getting dark later and later.

The sky outside the window was still blue. In the hospital, Ming Wei had just reached the door of the ward when she was surprised to see Pei Ming standing at the foot of the bed! And the person standing next to the bed checking the various terms was actually the company's legal counsel!
