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

Huo Qingyue looked at Meng Yu, who was dressed formally, and spoke in a distant tone.

"You and Rongrong are only engaged, not married yet. And with such a big incident at the engagement ceremony, Mr. Meng, you shouldn't call her 'Mom' so affectionately. The future is uncertain; your Meng family and our Pei family are only acquaintances at the moment."

Meng Yu's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

At this moment, Pei Hong stood up.

He knew that with him around, Meng Yu would definitely lose even more face.

"I have other business to attend to at the company, so I'll head over now. You two can continue your conversation."

Huo Qingyue sat down opposite Meng Yu, and the butler served her tea and snacks.

Seeing Meng Yu's helpless expression, Huo Qingyue softened her tone a little.

"During the time you were dating Rongrong, I know you treated her very well, and I also know you genuinely wanted to marry her."

But on your engagement day, you abandoned your fiancée to go find your ex-girlfriend, and your son with your ex-girlfriend even came and disrupted the engagement ceremony. Do you think that's appropriate?

Anyone would find this unbearable. Especially since Rongrong is a child that your Uncle Pei and I have doted on. She's been spoiled by us and has never experienced such a blow before.

Moreover, you and Zeng Qier have a son, which means you're destined to be entangled for life.

Meng Yu's words were unusually urgent, a departure from his usual composure.

"Mom, no, Auntie, I truly love Rongrong. I only want to marry her in this life. If she really doesn't like the son I had with Zeng Qier, I can..."

Huo Qingyue gently raised her hand, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.

"How you handle your child with Zeng Qier is your own business, you don't need to tell me. But it was indeed wrong of you to abandon Rongrong for Zeng Qier."

You've made our Pei family lose face so much. If Rongrong forgives you so easily, won't you trample our Rongrong under your feet in the future?

Even if you're willing to cut ties with Zeng Qier, what about Zeng Qier? I don't agree to this marriage between you two. Mr. Meng, I think you should go back."

As expected, Meng Yu became even more anxious due to Huo Qingyue's strategy of feigning indifference.

"I will marry no one but Rongrong in this lifetime. No matter what, I must explain this to her."

Meng Yu absolutely cannot let this marriage with the Pei family fall through, otherwise the old man will definitely replace him as the heir.

Huo Qingyue smiled faintly.

"Mr. Meng, how about I try to persuade Rongrong about this? Maybe she'll come to her senses after a while. As for Zeng Qier, you can handle it properly yourself."

Rongrong doesn't want to give birth; she's afraid of the pain and suffering. She won't make things difficult for your son, but Zeng Qier definitely can't be kept. You understand what I mean.

Huo Qingyue made a gesture.

Meng Yu knew she was trying to get rid of him.

Since things had come to this point, Huo Qingyue had given him enough face, meaning there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

If he continues to be so oblivious and persistent, he might really be blocking his own future.

Thinking of this, Meng Yu had no choice but to agree.

"I will definitely handle it well and won't make things difficult for Rongrong."

Huo Qingyue watched Meng Yu's departing figure, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

Sure enough, a servant soon came to report to Huo Qingyue.

"Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened! The son-in-law is kneeling at the door."

Huo Qingyue smiled, showing she was quite sensible.

"Since he wants to kneel, let him kneel. It's going to rain tonight, remember to hand your son-in-law an umbrella so he doesn't get wet."

The servants exchanged glances, replied "Yes," and withdrew.

When Shao Yan came to find Huo Qingyue, Meng Yu was still kneeling at the Pei family's house.

She glanced at Meng Yu out of the corner of her eye, intending to go inside but unable to resist turning back.

"What are you up to now, Mr. Meng? It's almost dark. Do you intend to kneel here all night? Oh, I know. It's because your ex-girlfriend's son showed up at your engagement to Pei Rongrong, right?"

Meng Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, and when he looked at Shao Yan, there seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"This concerns you, doesn't it?"

Shao Yan looked at him, her beautiful eyes slightly upturned.

"President Meng, please don't say that. You were quite impressive when you bought and smashed my mother's belongings."

Besides, your child was brought over by a relative, and he insisted on recognizing his biological father at your wedding. Did I cause this?

"Mr. Meng, don't make baseless accusations without evidence. I'm here to see my sister-in-law, I don't have time to chat with you, my nephew-in-law. Keep kneeling."

Shao Yan walked right past Meng Yu without giving him another glance.

Huo Qingyue had received a call from Shao Yan before Shao Yan arrived, and a maid came to inform her that she was already waiting.

"Big sister..."

Shao Yan called out to Huo Qingyue, who was somewhat moved and invited her to sit down.

"Did you already know, eldest sister, that Ah Xiao didn't come to Miss Pei's engagement party?"

Huo Qingyue nodded.

"When Ah Xiao left, he told me that he was going to find his godfather and that he wanted to rescue Lan Yan."

Ah Xiao told me not to let you know, but you still found out.

But don't misunderstand, even if the child in Lan Yan's belly is his, he has never been with Lan Yan.

I know you find this hard to believe, but it's true.

Shao Yan didn't care about any of this, because he already knew about these things.

"Ah Xiao went to see his godfather, isn't your eldest sister worried?"

That's what she found strange: why didn't Huo Qingyue, as Huo Xiao's older sister, stop him?

?

Huo Qingyue stared at Shao Yan for a long time before pushing the tea served by the maid in front of her.

"Try this fine Longjing tea."

'

Shao Yan had no interest in drinking tea at all.

Huo Qingyue calmly picked up the teacup in front of her, gently blew on the liquid inside, and then took a sip.

"Worry? What's there to worry about? He's a grown man, can't he handle his own affairs?"

I am his sister, but I cannot live his life in his place. Since he wants to go, I will naturally not stop him.

If you're referring to his absence from Rongrong's engagement ceremony last time, I don't mind. It's not like it's a wedding, so it's not a serious matter.

Besides, Meng Yu caused such a huge incident; isn't my reputation already enough for him to trample on? Does he really want to drag my brother down with him and be looked down upon by the entire North City?"

Shao Yan lowered her eyes slightly: "That's not what I meant."

Huo Qingyue spoke calmly.

"I don't care what you mean. My brother likes you, so I accept you in the same way, don't you think? Mrs. Meng."
