My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Jiang Shutong then remembered that she had locked the door from the inside when she got up last night.

So, Pei Yichen called her at 2 a.m. last night because he couldn't open the door after returning home, and that's why he went to sleep next door.

No wonder this man was radiating coldness early in the morning, looking like a dark-faced Yama.

From Pei Yichen's perspective, she had usurped his place.

Even though the house is his, she won't let him in.

Jiang Shutong explained somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, I'm sorry, Pei Yichen, well, I was a little scared sleeping alone last night, so I locked the door from the inside."

She glanced at the man's still gloomy face, and whispered, "I asked you last night if you were coming back, but you didn't reply to my messages, so I thought you weren't coming back..."

Pei Yichen didn't buy her explanation. "That's no reason for you to shut me out. I practically tore the door apart last night, and you still didn't get up to open it for me..."

In contrast, Li Kai got up after only ringing the doorbell a few times.

No need to make a phone call.

This woman was clearly doing it on purpose to prevent him from coming in.

Jiang Shutong's face flushed slightly. "I took sleeping pills last night, so I slept very soundly..."

"Do you think I'd believe such a clumsy excuse?"

Jiang Shutong, slipping on her slippers, quickly entered the room, took out the box of sleeping pills, and handed it to him. "See, I really didn't lie to you..."

Pei Yichen's gaze fell on the medicine box, where the label and doctor's instructions were clearly visible.

"If you don't believe me, I can show you the medical records written by the doctor..."

"That's enough." He quickly looked away from the medicine box, his previously tense jawline softening.

He coldly uttered a sentence and then turned and went into the master bedroom's bathroom.

"This will not be repeated."

If there's a next time, he'll definitely kick her out!

After Pei Yichen finished showering and washing his hair, he came out dressed in a suit and saw a table full of breakfast on the dining table.

They have congee, rice noodle rolls, steamed buns, dumplings, soy milk, milk, and sandwiches.

Jiang Shutong forced a fawning smile, pulled out a chair for him, and warmly invited, "Sit down and have breakfast. Since I didn't know what you liked to eat, I bought some things downstairs. Consider this an apology for preventing you from coming in last night."

Pei Yichen scoffed. Did he think he could bribe him with just breakfast?

And are these roadside breakfast stalls even fit for human consumption?

He was about to refuse, but when his gaze met the woman's expectant and anxious eyes, and he remembered how she had limped downstairs to buy him breakfast...

The words of refusal stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say them.

Pei Yichen sat down and began eating breakfast with a cold expression.

Jiang Shutong didn't miss the disdain in his eyes, but seeing that he still sat down to eat, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She also sat down opposite Pei Yichen.

The man ate with great elegance, as if he were not eating an ordinary breakfast, but a French gourmet meal.

The breakfast tasted a little better than Pei Yichen had imagined, but after finishing it, he still frowned and said, "This kind of breakfast is unhygienic. Don't buy my portion next time."

He usually has breakfast delivered to his company by the restaurant of a five-star hotel.

Jiang Shutong patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, once my foot is healed, I'll cook for you myself, and I guarantee it will be hygienic and safe."

Pei Yichen didn't say anything, and got up to leave for work.

Jiang Shutong probably didn't intentionally lock him out last night.

As a man, he should be more magnanimous and not hold it against her.

After Jiang Shutong cleaned up the leftover breakfast on the table, she received a call from her mother, Liu Guixiang.

"Tongtong, yesterday was the 15th, you should have received your salary by now, why hasn't the household allowance for this month been transferred yet?"

Her mother only softened her tone when she asked her for money.

Jiang Shutong walked onto the balcony, looking at the heartwarming scene of elderly people taking children for walks in the community garden below. Her eyes were filled with indifference. "After you did something like shoving an old man into my bed, why do you still think I'll willingly hand over my salary to you as before?"

Liu Guixiang was speechless for a moment, then she said angrily, "Jiang Shutong, so what if I did something wrong? No matter what, I'm still your mother. You can't just stop supporting me, your father, and your younger siblings because of such a small matter, can you?"

Jiang Shutong said sarcastically, "You're my real mother? I thought you picked me up from a trash can..."

She never felt any maternal love from childhood to adulthood.

Her mother always yelled at her and treated her like a servant.

Let her do housework and take care of her younger siblings.

She added, "Also, I have no obligation to support my younger siblings."

Liu Guixiang didn't want to lose her eldest daughter, her ATM. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Tongtong, think about it. You didn't lose anything that night. The victim was your sister. Let me tell you, you've really hurt her this time. She's crying at home every day, saying that Mingze is ignoring her now..."

Jiang Shutong almost laughed out of anger, "Did I ruin her life? It was clearly her own terrible idea that she came up with, and now she's just reaping what she sowed."

It truly proves the saying: those who do many evil deeds will surely perish!

"Why wasn't it you? If you hadn't brought her to your room..." Remembering the purpose of her call, Liu Guixiang swallowed back her accusations. "Forget it, it's all in the past. I don't blame you anymore. Just transfer this month's household allowance as soon as possible. We're all family, blood is thicker than water..."

Jiang Shutong couldn't stand it anymore and hung up.

Then, he casually added Liu Guixiang's number to his blacklist.

I immediately felt refreshed.

From now on, she will live for herself.

-

Zhitu Planning Company.

During lunch break, sounds of intimate conversation between a man and a woman could be heard coming from the planning department manager's office.

"Manager Sun, please... I hate it..."

The woman was wearing a fitted business suit that accentuated her curves, and the top two buttons of her shirt were undone, revealing what lay beneath.

The man's calloused, calloused hands roamed over the woman's body, eliciting soft moans and whimpers from her.

A cell phone ringing interrupted their intimate moment.

Sun Yuanjing reluctantly pushed the woman in his arms away and answered the phone.

"Yes, yes, Manager Sheng, we look forward to seeing you this afternoon!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ruwei leaned closer again, her face still flushed with an unnatural blush, her eyes alluring. "Manager Sun, was that a call from Boyu?"

Sun Yuanjing nodded, "Yes, Boyu is coming over this afternoon. The proposal they chose is Jiang Shutong's. She's been on leave these past two days because of a foot injury, so I need to get her back as soon as possible."

As he was speaking, he prepared to call Jiang Shutong, but Bai Ruwei stopped him, saying softly, "Manager Sun, can't you just tell Boyu that I wrote that proposal?"
