"I see. I was wrong about you. But since you are here, why don't you come in and sit down? Are you worried that I am not treating you well enough?"

When it comes to the word "official", Zhong Jiqiang is always right.

"It's late at night, I don't want to disturb you. Also, I want to calm down and think about how to deal with my relationship with Xiao Ai."

Guan Peng's words were somewhat meaningful. As for how to deal with his relationship with Xiao Ai, was he going to break up or divorce? Anyway, Zhong Jiqiang received a bad signal.

"What else is there to think about? Husband and wife quarrel, fighting at the head of the bed but making up at the foot of the bed. Your sister-in-law and I went through the same thing. Don't let your imagination run wild. Go to bed early. I'll persuade Xiao Ai to go back tomorrow."

Zhong Jiqiang was so scared that he didn't even dare to ask Guan Peng to come and pick up Zhong Xiaoai.

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. Please put in a good word for her. I'll pick her up tomorrow."

Be tough when you need to be tough, and be soft when you need to be soft. You can still act with propriety when you are rational.

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Jiqiang seemed quite satisfied after hearing what Guan Peng said.

"Guan Peng didn't leave until he got home with you, which proves that he has you in his heart. Don't be angry, have a good rest at night, he will come to pick you up tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Jiqiang said to his sister.

"Oh, I know."

Zhong Xiaoai was right next to Zhong Jiqiang when he made the call. By now she had calmed down and had figured it out; she was a married woman, like spilled water, and there was no place for her in the Zhong family anymore.

"Don't blame your brother, he's doing this for your own good. Go take a shower, I'll have a good chat with you later."

Mu Qing was a woman, so she naturally noticed the loneliness in her sister-in-law's eyes and quickly tried to comfort her.

At night, the aunt and the sister-in-law slept together, and Zhong Jiqiang was alone in the empty room, but he didn't have to sleep on the sofa.

"Your watch is nice. It must be a gift from Guan Peng." Before going to bed, Zhong Xiaoai took off her watch and put it on the bedside table, which was seen by Mu Qing.

"Yes, it was given to me yesterday."

Zhong Xiaoai doesn't care much about material things and doesn't care much about them.

"Patek Philippe, it looks like a piece of jewelry, and it's going to cost at least a million. Guan Peng is really generous to you."

Mu Qing has been married to Zhong Jiqiang for almost seven years and has never received any decent gifts, so naturally she is a little envious.

"He just likes to throw money at people, regardless of whether they like it or not."

Even though she had vented her anger, Zhong Xiaoai still didn't let it go.

"You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. I've been with your brother for so many years, and he has never given me anything worth more than five thousand yuan."

Not only Zhong Xiaoai, Mu Qing also had a lot of things to say to someone.

"My brother is a government official. He doesn't have much financial resources, but he is loyal to you."

Mu Qing's words made Zhong Xiaoai feel a little uncomfortable, and she defended Zhong Jiqiang.

"Loyalty, how do you know he is loyal to me?"

"My brother?"

"I discovered it two months ago, but I don't know when he started."

As soon as the words came out, Mu Qing felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is a very honest man, you might have made a mistake."

In Zhong Xiaoai's eyes, Zhong Jiqiang and Mu Qing are a model couple, and she finds it hard to believe it.

"If you still don't believe me, I'll show you a photo." Seeing is believing. After a while, Mu Qing found a photo from a book on the bookshelf in the bedroom.

"Look for yourself, have I wronged your brother?"

As soon as she saw the photo, Zhong Xiaoai stopped talking; the intimacy between the man and woman in the photo was not just a simple encounter.

"How could my brother do this? You two have been in a free relationship since college."

Zhong Xiaoai felt like her faith had collapsed.

"Why can't it be like this? This kind of thing happens all around us. There are two couples in our office. I'm not surprised at all."

As the person involved, Mu Qing is more open-minded than Zhong Xiaoai.

"Sister-in-law, what are your plans next?"

Mu Qing's tone made Zhong Xiaoai a little worried. He was calm, too calm, so calm that it seemed like he didn't care.

"I told your brother a few days ago that as long as this woman doesn't appear in front of me, I will pretend she doesn't exist."

Mu Qing had another purpose in telling Zhong Xiaoai all this, which was to persuade her to keep quiet;

Zhong Xiaoai and Guan Peng have a stable relationship. The Zhong family is doing well; only when the Zhong family is doing well will she be well.

She is a woman similar to Wu Huifen. Because of her relationship with the Zhong family, she has been praised too highly in recent years and cannot come down from her position.

Mu Qing's words had a great impact on Zhong Xiaoai. She was a smart person, and even though she couldn't think of the second level, she still understood the meaning of advising herself to keep quiet.

…………

Since you have agreed to pick someone up, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

The next morning, when the Zhong family was still having breakfast, Guan Peng arrived carrying large and small bags.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Xiao Ai, are you eating?"

Don't hit a smiling person, let alone Guan Peng who is so polite.

"Xiao Peng is here, so come on, what did you bring? By the way, have you had breakfast? How about eating with us?"

Mu Qing stood up to greet her, very enthusiastic; Zhang Yuehua was not at home, and she felt a bit like an elder sister-in-law to her as a mother.

"It's some red wine. I bought a winery in France. These are the collection of the previous owner. I tasted them and they tasted good, so I brought some for my brother."

Guan Peng explained with a smile.

"Xiao Ai, why are you sitting here? Go to Guan Peng to get food."

The only benefit that came to light after Zhong Wei entered the sanatorium was that Zhong Jiqiang began to have the final say in the Zhong family.

When Zhong Jiqiang said this, Guan Peng thought it was Zhong Wei who was giving the order. This was the song of the emancipated serfs.

"Brother, I can do it myself, Xiao Ai, you continue eating."

"Let me come, you sit down"

After thinking about it all night last night, Zhong Xiaoai finally figured it out. She can't live without Guan Peng.

What followed was naturally hello, hello to everyone. After the meal, Zhong Xiaoai didn't show any temper and got into Guan Peng's car obediently.

"I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have said anything nonsense to make you angry."

On the way to the procuratorate, Guan Peng apologized to Zhong Xiaoai while driving.

"I was also wrong. I shouldn't have been so unreasonable. However, there was really nothing between me and Hou Liangping. That meeting was an accident. I didn't expect him to be at Handong University."

Because she wanted to continue living with Guan Peng, Zhong Xiaoai felt that this matter must be explained clearly.

"I believe you. I was the one who lost my temper yesterday."

"You really believe me."

Even the eldest brother doubted her, but Guan Peng said he believed in her. Zhong Xiaoai was a little flattered.

"You are my wife, so I naturally believe you. Okay, stop thinking about it and go to work."

Having just used his insight skill on Zhong Xiaoai at the dinner table and looking at the data provided by the system, Guan Peng naturally believed his wife.

Chapter 45 Starfruit

Although he had reconciled with Zhong Xiaoai, what happened in the past two days was quite upsetting. Guan Peng called Xia Lin and asked her if she was free, as he wanted to go to her place to relax.

Of course, Charlene has free time, as her junior year doesn’t have as many classes as her freshman and sophomore years. She also doesn’t plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, so she doesn’t set high standards for her studies.

The two met at the original battlefield - Gongyuan No. 6; Guan Peng arrived first, and less than ten minutes later, Xia Lin also arrived in her white Cayenne.

"I'm back now. Is France fun?"

After entering the room, Xia Lin smiled and joked, but Guan Peng did not answer her. Instead, he picked her up and went straight to the point.

"What's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood..."

After all, they have been together for such a long time, but Xia Lin still noticed that Guan Peng was in a bad state today.

"We haven't seen each other for more than a month. I missed you too much."

He is good at sweet talk and coaxing people with his rationality.

"You looked so scary just now, as if you wanted to eat me. Don't be so rude to me next time."

Seeing that Guan Peng had calmed down, Xia Lin finally dared to lean against him and act coquettishly.

"Okay, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on."

After the passion, the two talked about their respective situations. After all, communication between lovers cannot be limited to the physical body.

"What? That Lu Tao still dares to come to you. Isn't he afraid of getting beaten again?"

Xia Lin told Guan Peng that she would continue to visit Lu Tao after she recovered from her injury.

"Who says it's not true? After that, Mile hired someone to beat him up twice more, but he came back every time after his injuries healed. I was a little touched by him."

Xia Lin has obviously recovered. She dared to play such a joke on Guan Peng, which shows that she is ready to start the war again.

"He pursues you so openly. Doesn't he take me seriously?"

Guan Peng was furious. First it was Hou Liangping, then it was Lu Tao, they all wanted to cheat on me. If I don’t teach you a lesson, don’t you know how many eyes Lord Ma has?

"I was just joking, why are you angry?"

Having been with Guan Peng for such a long time, Xia Lin certainly knows when he is really angry and when he is just pretending to be angry.

"I'm not mad at you, it's just that Lu Tao is so ungrateful."

Ever since the side quest was completed, Guan Peng knew that Xia Lin and Lu Tao would not have any future; but even if a fly doesn't bite, its buzzing is annoying enough, and Lu Tao is that fly.

"Who said it wasn't true? He made me afraid to go to school now. Luckily he doesn't know where I live."

Guan Peng was angry, so Xia Lin naturally didn't dare to joke with Lu Tao anymore. After that, they both tacitly avoided the matter.

Around noon, Secretary Qin Bing called twice in succession, interrupting their lovey-dovey conversation.

"I just got back and I still have a lot of things to deal with at the company. I can't accompany you today."

The land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes. Guan Peng was a little reluctant to leave.

"It's okay, go do whatever you want, I'll stay a little longer."

After being tormented enough by Guan Peng, Xia Lin wanted to have a good rest.

Boundless Investment Bank

A sturdy man who looked like a bodyguard was carrying two wooden boxes with a serious face. He did not relax until Guan Peng arrived.

"Director Guan, this is what Captain Fei asked me to give you. Please count it."

Small things are insignificant, but the appearance of some things will definitely attract other people's attention.

In order to cover up his own personal space, Guan Peng used Fei Xuan's connections to bring these two items back.

The long wooden box contained Monet's water lilies, which were originally intended to be given to Tang Yun as a gift, but she confiscated it.

In another square wooden box was the gift that Keith gave to Guan Peng - the rabbit head of the bronze statue of the Chinese zodiac.

"The food is fine. Thank you for your hard work. Captain Fei and I are old friends. Do you think we can have a meal together later?"

Since people have come from afar to bring the things here, Guan Peng always has to show some concern for them.

"That's not necessary. I have other tasks to do. Since the things are correct, I'll take my leave."

Guan Peng didn't care when he was rejected. Most of Boss Fei's subordinates had the same temper, so he was used to it.

"Director Guan, is this the real thing?"

The twelve zodiac animal heads are a sad story in the past that Chinese people cannot touch, and Qin Bing is also very curious.

"Of course it's authentic. I don't have the habit of accepting fakes. Contact the decoration company to build a display stand here to put the rabbit head on."

“Ah, you’re not donating to the museum?”
