Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 535 The Substitute Female Supporting Character Remarries a Vegetative Boss! (4)

"But... 66, isn't Pei Yanzhou a bit too old?"

[Dear host, the male lead in Douyu is over forty and still runs like the wind. Pei Yanzhou is tall and handsome, in his early thirties, the heir of a prominent family, and the chairman of the Pei Group. At his age, he is already young and promising, possessing both elegance and shrewdness. Don't you like this older daddy vibe?]
"Hmm?" Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow. "When did I like it?"

System 66 decided not to chat aimlessly with the host who had lost her memory.

[Your birth chart has been altered; host, just wait for the old lady to come knocking on your door.]
Shen Shuyi nodded thoughtfully, "By the way, 66, didn't you say that after the feedback last time, I would get a free small item for every mission in every small world?"

[That's right, what do you want, host?]
"I'll make my choice later and see how things go."

……

At the Pei family's old residence, Old Madam Pei wept uncontrollably, lamenting, "Why is my Yanzhou's life so miserable? He clearly went to do good deeds and provide disaster relief, but Heaven has to take his life."

Grandpa Pei gently patted her hand, "Didn't the doctor say there's still hope for you to wake up? Don't be too sad."

"How could I not be heartbroken? Yanzhou has been in a vegetative state for more than half a year, with no sign of waking up at all. Those were just words from the doctor to comfort us."

"Then what do you suggest? Are you really going to find someone to bring good luck to Yanzhou? If bringing good luck worked, no one in this world would die of illness."

"What's wrong with marrying someone to ward off bad luck? I really had no other choice. I didn't force anyone. As long as she's willing, I'm willing to transfer my shares to her regardless of whether the marriage works out or not!"

"Sigh, you've really gone mad." Old Master Pei could only sigh helplessly.

Old Mrs. Pei shed tears at her husband's indifference. "You're not in a hurry at all. When Yanzhou was young, you saw that he was exceptionally intelligent, so you sent him abroad to study. As soon as he came back, you put him to work as a beast of burden in the company. Now he has developed the Pei Group into a thriving enterprise. Even if he dies in an accident, you still have other sons and grandsons. Of course you're not in a hurry!"

"Those are all your sons and grandsons. What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Master Pei relented.

"Then let's do as you say. Have you found someone to marry into the family to bring good luck?"

Grandma Pei looked troubled. "We found her, but she used to be Ah Heng's ex-girlfriend."

"Ex-girlfriend? The eldest daughter of the Shen family who posted the video of Aheng cheating everywhere?" Old Master Pei frowned.

Grandma Pei said bluntly, "Is it meaningful for you to keep harping on this?"

"Pei Heng did something wrong, and she has every right to retaliate!"

"My hesitation stems from the fear that she might not want to join the Pei family because of Pei Heng!"

"Then forget it." Old Master Pei felt that such a girl was too troublesome and would make a mess of the entire Pei family.

Grandma Pei chuckled coldly and said, "What do you mean by 'let it go'? I actually admire her temperament."

"But she likes Aheng."

“Pei Heng was spoiled by his eldest son. The eldest son only knows how to have fun and has no business talent whatsoever. He hasn’t even raised his son well. How could someone as straightforward and generous as Shen Yaya possibly like him?”

"I'm going to see her, you don't object, do you?"

"How could I object?" Old Master Pei felt guilty towards his wife, so he dared not utter a single word of dissent. In any case, he was already retired and living his own quiet life, and even if the younger generation made a ruckus, it wouldn't reach him.

"That's good. I'll go and meet this girl, Shen, in person."

……

Less than three days later, the old lady of the Pei family came to visit. This old lady had a kind face and an elegant temperament that had been refined by the years, showing that she was a great beauty when she was young.

"Miss Shen, I apologize for bothering you, but I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Shen Shuyi personally poured her a cup of tea. "Please speak."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Old Mrs. Pei recounted the whole story, "Shen girl, I hope you can forgive my ignorance. My youngest son, Yanzhou, has been in a vegetative state and hasn't woken up yet. We've consulted doctors both domestically and internationally, but to no avail. I'm afraid that if we delay any longer, we won't receive the good news of his awakening. Instead, I'm now hoping to save his life through a marriage of convenience to bring him good luck."

She simply couldn't accept the fate of an older person outliving their younger son, especially since they both owed their youngest son far too much.

“I know you are a very good kid. I have already swallowed my pride before bringing this up. I am willing to agree to whatever conditions you propose.”

Shen Shuyi: "I do."

Her voice was very soft, but Grandma Pei still heard it clearly.

"Really? Really?" Grandma Pei's eyes lit up with surprise.

Shen Shuyi nodded solemnly, "I admire Mr. Pei's character very much. He was in a car accident because he was doing good deeds. If there is any hope of saving his life by marrying him to bring good luck, I am willing to give it a try."

Grandma Pei's eyes reddened again, with tears welling up at the corners. She had seen all sorts of storms in her life, but she was moved by the little girl's few words.

"Shuyi, just tell me what you want."

Shen Shuyi didn't hide anything, "Auntie, I want to join Pei's Yano Medical Company and have decision-making power in research and development."

Grandma Pei knew that she was graduating this year with a degree in medical device engineering. Not to mention that it was a subsidiary of the Pei Group, she had already said she was willing to give Shen Shuyi shares. "Okay, no problem."

"Thank you for your trust," Shen Shuyi continued, "If the marriage to ward off bad luck fails, I am willing to remain a widow for Mr. Pei for the rest of my life."

"If it works out, and if Mr. Pei wakes up and is able to accept me, respect me, and treat me as his wife, then I am willing to stay in the Pei family."

"Of course, if Mr. Pei cannot accept this, then I am willing to leave the Pei family immediately and will not accept any shares of the Pei Group."

Although they couldn't get a marriage certificate, according to the old lady's superstition, arranging a marriage based on the eight characters of their birth dates was considered as marriage.

Grandma Pei disagreed, saying, "What the Pei family gave you is yours; there's no reason to take it back!"

"Shuyi, although I am old, I am a reasonable person. The Pei family has wronged you in this matter, and no amount of compensation is too much."

"But you need to think carefully about what might happen if you agree to a marriage to ward off bad luck. There might be some unpleasant things to say from the outside world."

“Aunt, if I were afraid of gossip, I wouldn’t have agreed to this,” Shen Shuyi said earnestly. “I truly admire Mr. Pei.”

"Shuyi, I'm sorry you've been wronged. No matter what happens in the future, you will always be a benefactor to the Pei family." Old Madam Pei made a promise, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me."

"The auspicious day is in three days. The Pei family's convoy will come to pick you up then, how about that?"

Shen Shuyi nodded, "No problem, we'll do it your way."

"Yes, Shuyi, don't worry. Even after you marry into the family, you can still come and go freely and do whatever you want," said Old Madam Pei in a gentle voice.

“Okay, thank you for your understanding, Auntie.” Shen Shuyi said truthfully, “I will probably spend most of my daytime researching medical equipment in the Arno Laboratory, but I can promise to go home and stay with Mr. Pei at night.”

"I should be the one saying thank you." Grandma Pei gently patted her hand. "In the end, I've wronged you."
