She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

After Han Yifei left, Shao Yan took her phone and scrolled through Weibo page by page. She hadn't been paying attention to domestic news during her trip abroad, and sure enough, the headlines were incredibly lively, with almost the entire article being about Meng Yu.

The news was probably too explosive, and even the combined forces of the Meng and Pei families couldn't suppress it.

Of course, Shao Yan cannot deny that Han Yifei might be involved, after all, Han Yifei and Meng Yu have always been mortal enemies.

At this moment, Meng Yu had no mind to care about company affairs. Instead, he went to the Pei family. He had begged Pei Rongrong many times, but she refused to see him.

Pei Rongrong locked herself in her room. She had never suffered such humiliation and hadn't come downstairs for several days. Pei Hong tried to persuade her for a long time to no avail, and in the end, Huo Qingyue went to knock on her door herself.

"Your dad is downstairs dealing with Meng Yu. If you don't open the door, I'll have someone break your lock."

Hearing her mother's threat, Pei Rongrong reluctantly opened the door.

However, she didn't look heartbroken; on the contrary, she was dressed up in a very attractive and beautiful way.

Huo Qingyue's gaze swept coldly over him.

"Were you out fooling around with him again?"

The "he" Huo Qingyue was referring to was naturally Pei Hong's biological son, the playboy who had been personally kicked out of the family by Pei Hong.

Pei Rongrong was surprised that her mother knew about her affair. Her eyes showed a hint of panic, but she stubbornly refused to admit it.

The next second, Huo Qingyue slapped him.

"If the media finds out about this, do you know how much more exciting it will be than the love triangle between Meng Yu, Zeng Qier, and you? It'll be full of interesting stories."

Pei Hong and I are both in our second marriages. You're not his biological daughter, yet you've caused him this scandal. Do you really want to be kicked out by your father? Although he's not your biological father, he's been good to you all these years, and you've repaid kindness with enmity.

What kind of spell did his son cast on you? If Meng Yu finds out about this, do you still think he'll beg you to come back like he did today?

Pei Rongrong covered her face and dared not speak.

Huo Qingyue was furious. She grabbed a tissue from the side and pressed it directly onto her bright red lips, removing her makeup.

Pei Rongrong dared not utter a sound.

Huo Qingyue's voice was cold and clear.

"The Meng family's intention is that they will acknowledge the child, but they will never acknowledge Zeng Qi'er. Since you can't have children, be magnanimous. He's Meng Yu's son after all; if they acknowledge him, they should."

Pei Rongrong couldn't believe that her mother had said those words.

"You want me to admit that Meng Yu has an illegitimate child? That's impossible."

Huo Qingyue snorted coldly.

"Looking at you now, do you think you have a choice? Meng Yu and Zeng Qi got together before you two started dating."

Chronologically speaking, he didn't betray you. Your relatives and friends already know about your engagement.

Although I don't particularly like Meng Yu, with all your past misdeeds, they'll be exposed sooner or later. While Meng Yu doesn't know yet, you should hurry up and marry him; everything will be negotiable then.

Pei Rongrong was extremely unwilling.

"If he and Zeng Qi'er had nothing going on, how could that woman have committed suicide because he was engaged to me? Maybe they're still entangled. Do you still want me to marry Meng Yu?"

Why should she? Pei Rongrong was a hundred times unwilling, mainly because she couldn't stand Meng Yu and Zeng Qi'er's son being around in front of her, and judging from the Meng family's intentions, they would acknowledge the child.

"If you don't marry Meng Yu, are you planning to have an affair with Pei Tao? You really think nobody knows about your relationship, right?"

Pei Rongrong was instantly terrified and cried out, "Mom, am I your daughter or is Meng Yu your son? Why are you protecting him so much?"

Huo Qingyue looked at Pei Rongrong as if she wanted to devour him. Pei Rongrong was so frightened that she took several steps back. It was the first time she had ever seen her mother with such an expression.

"I'm protecting you, not Meng Yu. Consider the mess you made while studying abroad, plus your affair with Pei Tao. What exactly is Pei Tao trying to do now? I don't know, at least he hasn't ruined your wedding with Meng Yu. If you're still stubborn and insist on kicking Meng Yu out, it will be too late to regret it once he's gone."

If you're really angry, I can help you teach Meng Yu a lesson so he'll never dare to do it again. I'll treat you well.

Pei Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took Huo Qingyue's hand.

"Pei Tao likes me very much. Even if I don't marry Meng Yu, but instead marry Pei Tao, he's still my father's son. Won't all of Dad's future assets be ours anyway? Why do you always object to me being with Pei Tao?"

She probed cautiously, but Huo Qingyue, exasperated, slapped her again, nearly knocking Pei Rongrong to the ground. Both her cheeks were red and swollen.

Huo Qingyue almost fainted from anger because of Pei Rongrong's words. She pointed at Pei Rongrong, her whole body trembling.

"I knew you were messing around outside, but I didn't expect you to be mentally unstable. Don't you know why your dad kicked Pei Tao out? Why did you choose to provoke you when there are so many women out there? Don't tell me you don't know either."

Your father is still young; anyone can earn his own inheritance. You're so young, and you're already eyeing his fortune. Doesn't Pei Tao know how to do the math? If he marries you, everything your father owns will be his. What kind of crazy idea is he having? Are you out of your mind?

Pei Rongrong's eyes flickered, and she was completely at a loss. At this moment, she didn't know what to do.

But she knew that if she didn't listen to Huo Qingyue, her fate would be predictable.

Pei Rongrong felt a little flustered and could only look at Huo Qingyue.

"Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll listen to whatever you say. If you tell me to forgive Meng Yu, then I'll forgive Meng Yu."

Seeing that Pei Rongrong's words had softened, Huo Qingyue's heart also softened.

"Wait in the room. I'll go downstairs to see Meng Yu. I'll have him come upstairs to apologize to you later. Don't make things too difficult for him."

"You've been given a way out; take it easy and you can still marry into the Meng family in style. As for the child, don't touch him yet; we'll deal with him later."

Pei Rongrong could only nod in agreement.

After Huo Qingyue left, she closed the door behind her.

Downstairs, Meng Yu was sitting on the sofa. Pei Hong was beside him.

Footsteps echoed from the winding staircase.

Meng Yu's eyes lit up for a moment, but when he saw that only Huo Qingyue came out, he was inevitably disappointed again.

But he knew that only his future father-in-law and mother-in-law could persuade Pei Rongrong at this time, so he respectfully called out to Huo Qingyue, "Mom."
