"Xiao Peng, Xiao Ai, why did you come back so late at night?"

"We didn't know you were coming. We just went to the sanatorium."

Before Guan Peng could say anything, Zhong Xiaoai took over.

"I see. Is your father feeling better? I've been busy lately and haven't had time to visit him."

Liu Yue'e was very good at saving her face. Even if she looked down on the Zhong family, she would not show it on her face.

"It's still the same, no improvement; but Guan Peng helped him contact an American medical team, who will come to Beijing for a consultation in the next few days. I hope it will be effective."

Zhong Xiaoai really thought that her mother-in-law cared about her father's condition and told her everything.

"The American medical team came to Beijing for consultation. Xiaopeng, you must have spent a lot of money."

After all, she is her son’s biological mother. When Liu Yue’e heard the news, what she was most worried about was her son’s wallet.

"For a family like ours, we don't need the money for medical treatment."

Guan Peng praised her very well, and Liu Yue'e felt very proud to hear this; yes, with our family's financial situation, we really can't lack this little money.

"Mom, what's the matter with you coming here so late at night?" (If you have nothing to do, go back early and don't disturb our world of two)

After talking for a long time, Liu Yue'e still didn't say she wanted to leave, so Guan Peng reminded her.

"It's your father. He's not at peace even after returning to China. He wants to build a drone industrial park in Xiong County. It's been more than a month, and he won't come back. I'm going to look for him tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye to you."

Guan Zhaoyue is a career-oriented person and now he has devoted all his attention to drones.

"Dad is an old horse in the stable, with great ambitions. You should be more considerate of him."

He also asked Guan Zhaoyue to help him expand his territory, and Guan Peng's mouth was as sweet as honey.

"Please be considerate. I have been considerate all my life. I am ready to go again.

Xiao Ai, there is something I want to tell you. You and Xiao Peng can't just take care of yourselves like this. If each of you goes out for ten days or half a month, your relationship will fade.

Also, when are you going to have children? Do it early while you are still young, so that we as elders can rest assured."

After a few words, Liu Yue'e could no longer hold back and finally revealed the real purpose of her trip, which was to induce labor.

"Mom, our careers are on the rise now, so we don't have time to worry about this. You still have to go see my dad tomorrow, and the journey must be tiring. Go back and rest early."

Guan Peng kind of regrets getting married so early and having a child. I am a child myself.

"Mom, I know what you said. I will pay attention to it."

Zhong Xiaoai naturally didn't dare to confront him as forcefully as Guan Peng, but she didn't give a straight answer either.

"Okay, as long as you know it, I'm doing this for your own good. I'll be leaving first, and you guys should get some rest."

Liu Yue'e assumed that Zhong Xiaoai agreed. After all, given the current situation of the Zhong family, they should tie Guan Peng up tightly for whatever purpose.

Chapter 43 Quarrel

As soon as Liu Yue'e left, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and were extremely glad that they had decided to live separately.

"It's not enough that she has to take care of my dad, now she's starting to take care of me. I feel so tired for her." Guan Peng complained.

"Mom is doing this for our own good, don't say that to her."

Zhong Xiaoai acted like a good daughter-in-law. She didn't add fuel to the fire, but instead gave some advice.

"You're not really going to listen to her and plan to have a baby so early?"

Guan Peng was a little unsure of what Zhong Xiaoai meant.

"We're already married, so we have to consider this matter. Besides, it's not just your mom, my mom has been urging us too, right?"

Zhong Xiaoai actually had other thoughts. She felt that with a child, Guan Peng would be more likely to settle down. There is no woman who doesn't want her husband to be devoted to her.

"Sister, you are crazy. We are not even 30 yet. Do you want to have a child now? Also, will you take care of the child? Are you willing to be a full-time mother?"

Seeing his teammates betray the revolution, Guan Peng lost control a little and started swearing.

"You just don't want to live peacefully with me, and you're still thinking about those vixens out there."

Miss Zhong also has a temper. Since she is called "big sister", she has to resist no matter what.

"I have never concealed who I am from you. I didn't force you to get married."

Guan Peng didn't know what happened today, but if it were usual, he would never say this.

"You didn't force me, I forced you; it was me, Zhong Xiaoai, who was the one who was so cheap that I begged you to marry me.

This matter has always been a concern for Zhong Xiaoai, and she exploded, crying her heart out.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I didn't mean that."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoai crying like this, Guan Peng softened his heart.

"Guan Peng, I was the one who forced you to marry me, but I, Zhong Xiaoai, am not someone that everyone wants. There are many people who are willing to marry me..."

Guan Peng was already planning to settle the matter peacefully, but Zhong Xiaoai was still not satisfied and continued.

"Someone wants it, someone wants it. Isn't Hou Liangping still waiting for you in Handong..."

Mr. Zhao's phone call worked, and Guan Peng said this without thinking.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. I just said that if you feel that you can't live with me anymore, you can go find Hou Liangping. Didn't you just relive your old times at Handong University?"

When you are angry, you tend to say anything. Guan Peng is in this situation now.

"Guan Peng you bastard, are you wronging me?"

Zhong Xiaoai cried even harder. This time, when she was on a business trip and passed by Handong University, she felt she missed her college days so she went in for a walk. Unexpectedly, she met Hou Liangping by the lake where they used to take walks. However, the two did not do anything but greeted each other and left.

"You didn't go to Handong University, or you didn't take a walk with Hou Liangping by the lake. Some bastard even sent me a photo. Do you want me to show it to you?"

Impulse is the devil. If it was the sage moment, Guan Peng would use his insight skill to know how deeply Zhong Xiaoai loved him, and he would be as aggressive as he is now.

This was the first time the two had quarreled after they got married. Zhong Xiaoai went back to her parents' home in anger. Guan Peng was not mad enough after all. He followed her all the way and only drove away after seeing her return to Zhong's house.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with Guan Peng?"

Ever since Zhang Yuehua and Zhong Wei had been living in a nursing home, Zhong Jiqiang and his family moved back to the Zhong family compound, and the person who opened the door was Zhong Xiaoai's sister-in-law Mu Qing.

"sister in law……"

The aunt and sister-in-law have a good relationship. When Zhong Xiaoai saw Mu Qing, she felt like she had seen the Lord of Heaven.

"Alright, alright, what happened? Did Guan Peng hit you? It doesn't look like that."

"He, he wronged me..."

Zhong Xiaoai cried for so long that her speech became intermittent.

"Xiao Ai, why are you back?"

Zhong Jiqiang also came down after hearing the noise.

"Brother, did Guan Peng wrongly accuse me?" After all, she was just a woman in her early twenties. If she was wronged, she would naturally go back to her parents' home to complain to her eldest brother.

"He was fine an hour ago. Mom even called and said that she had found an American medical team for Dad, and they would come to Yanjing in the next few days. How did you quarrel with him?"

With the ever-changing world, Zhong Jiqiang can hardly keep up with the fast pace of young people.

"The thing is like this..."

Next, Zhong Xiaoai told the two of them the whole story of her quarrel with Guan Peng.

"Brother, I haven't even bothered about the women he has out there, but he's still wrongly accusing me. Don't you think this is too much?"

After telling the whole story, Zhong Xiaoai was a little eager to get her brother's approval.

"So did you meet Hou Liangping?"

Hou Liangping can be said to be a taboo in the Zhong family. Once these three words are heard, something bad is bound to happen. Zhong Jiqiang frowned at this moment.

"It wasn't a special meeting. We met by chance at Handong University..."

Seeing that her elder brother looked unhappy, Zhong Xiaoai explained.

"We met by chance. You went to Handong University, and he was there too. We met by the small lake where you often visited before graduation?"

If Guan Peng wasn't mentioned, even Zhong Jiqiang would have found it hard to believe.

"Brother, you also doubt me..."

Zhong Xiaoai felt wronged because even her closest family members didn't believe in her.

"Xiao Ai, it's not that your brother doesn't believe you, it's just that this is too coincidental. By the way, how did Guan Peng know that you met Hou Liangping?"

Mu Qing really hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, didn't Guan Peng just come back? How did he know about this?"

Zhong Jiqiang also reacted.

"He said some asshole called him and told him and sent him pictures."

Looking back now, Zhong Xiaoai also feels that there were too many coincidences in her meeting with Hou Liangping.

"Who knows that you went to Handong University?"

After all, Zhong Jiqiang had been in the officialdom for several years, and even if he had not experienced all kinds of things himself, he had heard a lot of people talk about them.

"Not many people know about it. By the way, I called Teacher Wu before I left."

Zhong Xiaoai recalled.

"Teacher Wu, which Teacher Wu?"

"It was Ms. Wu who taught us history in college. Her husband is Gao Yuliang, a senior official in Luzhou City, who was also my teacher before."

Seeing that Zhong Jiqiang looked cautious, Zhong Xiaoai told him everything she knew.

"That shouldn't be the case. Luzhou and Yanjing are so far away, and there is no conflict of interest. She has no reason to plot against you. Is it really a coincidence?"

Zhong Jiqiang muttered to himself.

Of course it was not a coincidence. Wu Huifang would not plot against Zhong Xiaoai, but Zhao Ruilong, who was visiting Gao's house when Zhong Xiaoai called that day, would.

Handong Province Zhao Family Courtyard

The Zhao siblings were talking about this.

"Sister, do you think I've been doing useless work again? It's been more than a week, and Guan Peng still hasn't called me to let me deal with Hou Liangping?"

Zhao Ruilong said a little impatiently.

"No man can tolerate this kind of thing, unless Guan Peng is not a man. Just wait patiently, there is nothing to lose anyway."

Although Zhao Xiaohui is a woman, she is much more shrewd than her brother in her conduct and work.

"Yeah, there's no loss anyway, it's good to give the Zhong family some trouble."

Zhao Ruilong only found out some time ago that his grandfather did not get along with Zhong Wei when he was young.

Chapter 44: Night Talk between Sister-in-law and Aunt

Purple Jade Villa

As soon as Guan Peng got home, Zhong Jiqiang called; he had to answer the call whether he wanted to blame him or to smooth things over.

"Guan Peng, Xiao Ai is here. I heard that you had a fight. What was it about?"

Zhong Jiqiang came to test Guan Peng's opinion.

"We had a few arguments, nothing serious, I just had a bad attitude and made her cry."

When a couple quarrels, they must not involve their parents and siblings. Guan Peng understands this.

"Guan Peng, I'm not biased towards Xiao Ai as her brother, but it's ridiculous for her to cry and go back to her parents' home alone in the middle of the night."

Since Guan Peng admitted his mistake voluntarily, Zhong Jiqiang must give him a warning.

"Brother, I followed Xiao Ai home in my car. I only left after I saw her go into the house."

Guan Peng was just being polite, but seeing that Zhong Jiqiang really took him seriously, he naturally retorted.
