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

Xu Mingze turned his head and saw a tall and upright man walking over.

Pei Yichen wore a well-tailored black haute couture suit, which perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

The man had striking features, a stern face, and a sharp jawline, exuding an aura that seemed to freeze the air.

His powerful and imposing aura involuntarily stunned Xu Mingze.

Pei Yichen walked straight to Jiang Shutong's side, his well-defined hand naturally encircling the woman's slender waist, and said in a calm voice, "Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Jiang Shutong stiffened at first, then gave a gentle smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my future brother-in-law, Xu Mingze."

Then she said to Xu Mingze, "This is my husband, Pei Yichen."

Xu Mingze felt a buzzing in his mind, and his mind went completely blank.

How is that possible?

He couldn't believe that Jiang Shutong had gotten married in such a short time.

She also didn't believe she could find a man like Pei Yichen, who seemed to have far more money and power than her.

Pei Yichen exudes a powerful aura of someone who has long held a high position, and both his bespoke suit and the watch on his wrist are priceless.

Xu Mingze's gaze fell on Pei Yichen's hand on Jiang Shutong's waist, and it felt particularly irritating.

His face was contorted with jealousy. "Tongtong, stop it! With his circumstances, how could he marry you? He's just playing around with you. I'm the one who truly loves you!"

He'd seen plenty of rich kids from wealthy families, and they were all incredibly skilled at seducing women.

It's extremely rare to find a wealthy young man as self-disciplined as him.

At that moment, Jiang Shutong's WeChat notification sounded.

She opened it and saw that it was a photo sent by Jiang Muqing.

In the photo, Xu Mingze is asleep shirtless, while Jiang Muqing is also naked in his arms, her eyes full of provocation and smugness.

The photo shows the date it was taken: yesterday.

Jiang Muqing: [Sister, Mingze and I have made up again. He said he still loves me the most, so please stop bothering him...]

The next second, Jiang Muqing retracted both the photo and the message she posted.

Jiang Shutong sneered.

The man who was angrily questioning her was pretending to be affectionate in front of her, but at the same time he couldn't control his lust and was having an affair with his sister.

She felt utterly disgusted.

I don't understand why I was so blind to have fallen for trash like Xu Mingze.

"Your love is saying you love me while sleeping with other women? Then you should go love someone else."

Before Xu Mingze could react, Jiang Shutong pulled Pei Yichen away.

Xu Mingze gradually came to his senses after watching the two people in the distance get into that dilapidated Volkswagen.

This is the same car that picked up Jiang Shutong last time.

It turns out it wasn't a ride-hailing service.

However, the fact that the man was driving such a car suggests that his status was far less prominent than he had imagined.

His surname was Pei, but in his memory, there was no wealthy family in the capital with the surname Pei.

Apart from--

Xu Mingze quickly dismissed the idea.

The Boyu Group is too prestigious; it's not a social class that ordinary people like Jiang Shutong can access, because even he can't get in touch with them.

Pei Yichen's suit and watch are probably high-quality replicas.

The purpose was to deceive a naive girl like Jiang Shutong.

However, he couldn't replicate the car properly, and couldn't afford a luxury car, so he could only drive a beat-up old car.

Thinking of this, the sense of crisis that had been weighing on Xu Mingze's heart instantly disappeared.

He's just a poor kid pretending to be a rich second-generation. Apart from having a good-looking face, he can't compare to him in any other way.

He was waiting for the day Jiang Shutong would realize she had been deceived, and he was sure she would obediently return to his side.

Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it, answered, and said, "Qing'er, what's wrong?"

"I don't have class tonight, how about we go on a date?"

A gentle smile curved the man's lips. "Okay, whatever you say."

-

inside the car.

"Mr. Pei, thank you so much for earlier. But don't worry, this should be the last time I ask you to pick me up..."

Xu Mingze knows that after she gets married, he probably won't bother her anymore.

After all, he wasn't a very patient person, nor was he as affectionate towards her as he claimed.

Upon hearing this, the man in the driver's seat said in a cold tone, "Our prenuptial agreement states that we must cooperate in presenting a loving couple to each other's relatives and friends, which naturally includes in front of ex-boyfriends."

On the way here, he had already guessed that she was being harassed by her scumbag ex-boyfriend again.

Although he had only known Jiang Shutong for a few days, he knew that she was not someone who would easily ask him for help.

If she takes the initiative to ask him to pick her up, it means she really needs him.

"Thank you!" Jiang Shutong was truly grateful that the man had come to her aid so quickly on both occasions when she asked for his help.

Although Pei Yichen looks cold and aloof, he never let anyone down when it mattered most.

Perhaps he's a man who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside?

Remembering something, she asked, "Oh right, you said you'd let me meet your parents last time, but I was too busy. How about I go see them this weekend?"

She also wanted to realize her value in this marriage and help him deal with his family.

The man seemed to think for a moment before speaking, "Then let's do it this Saturday. We'll decide on the location then."

"Okay." Jiang Shutong had no objections. "By the way, what are your parents' preferences? I'll buy them some gifts in advance as a greeting present."

Pei Yichen: "No need."

Anyway, she couldn't afford the things they usually used.

Jiang Shutong insisted, "Yes, it's necessary. It's basic courtesy."

She was serious about getting along well with her future in-laws.

She could charm Xu's parents into becoming like embryos, so she was confident that she could win over Pei Yichen's parents as well.

Pei Yichen seemed to see through her thoughts and said casually, "My mother passed away a long time ago. You're going to meet my father and stepmother this weekend. You're just going through the motions; you don't need to build a good relationship with them."

Jiang Shutong: ...

Well, it seems every family has its own problems.

Not only her, but Pei Yichen, who appears glamorous on the surface, also has an unhappy family.

The man then said, "My grandfather went abroad for a trip and hasn't returned yet. I'll take you to see him when he comes back."

Jiang Shutong realized that in his family, the person Pei Yichen cared about most was his grandfather.

After returning to Mingjing Garden, Pei Yichen went into the study and closed the door.

He started calling Pei Zhengping.

"If you still want to see your daughter-in-law, meet at Mingxuan this Saturday night."
