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

Jiang Muqing, nestled in Xu Mingze's arms, heard every word Xu's mother said.

She was so angry that she pinched Xu Mingze's waist hard.

Xu Mingze couldn't help but groan in pain, and he pushed Jiang Muqing away.

Then he walked to the side and said to his mother on the phone, "Mom, don't worry, Tongtong and I haven't broken up. Don't worry, I'll bring Tongtong home for dinner tomorrow night."

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.

Jiang Muqing glared at him angrily, "Tell me, why don't you just tell Auntie that you've broken up with my sister?"

Xu Mingze frowned slightly, somewhat helplessly. "You know, my mom has a heart condition. She really likes your sister, and I'm afraid that suddenly telling her we're breaking up might trigger a heart attack..."

Jiang Muqing put her hands on her hips. "So you plan to never tell me for the rest of your life? You promised you'd marry me as soon as I graduate next year..."

"Don't worry, I'll find a suitable opportunity to explain things to my family later..." Xu Mingze glanced at his watch, "I really have to go back to the company for a meeting now."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Muqing grabbed his arm again, "Tomorrow is Auntie's birthday, so I want to go over for dinner too."

She wanted to take the opportunity to please her future mother-in-law.

It's not just her sister who knows how to win people over; she's got a sweet tongue too.

She's sure she can win over her future in-laws.

Xu Mingze looked somewhat helpless. "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Muqing used to occasionally go to the Xu family's house for meals with the two of them, but now if she were to be taken along, Jiang Shutong probably wouldn't want to go.

Jiang Muqing shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Mingze, please take me with you, I promise I'll make your aunt and uncle like me..."

Unable to resist her coquettishness, Xu Mingze gently hooked her round nose with his hand, "Okay, I'll take you with me."

If her parents really come to like Qing'er, then they probably won't criticize her for breaking up with Jiang Shutong anymore.

He turned around and walked to the front of the car to open the door, but then he saw a Rolls-Royce parked on the opposite side of the road.

The passenger door opened, and Jiang Shutong stepped out.

The woman smiled and waved to the people inside the car. Only after the Rolls-Royce slowly drove away did she walk towards the entrance of the residential area.

Jiang Muqing naturally saw it too.

"That luxury car must belong to Mr. Wang, my sister's blind date. Look how happy my sister is. I told you, she just wants to marry a rich man. You're worried she'll be taken advantage of if she marries an older man?"

She continued talking to herself, completely unaware that Xu Mingze's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As soon as Jiang Shutong reached the entrance of the residential area, she saw the two people clinging tightly together.

She immediately looked at them as if she had seen something dirty, and walked to the other side, trying to avoid them.

Jiang Muqing walked straight towards her. "Sister, I see you really like that Mr. Wang that Mom introduced you to. When are you getting married? I want to be a bridesmaid!"

Jiang Shutong smiled faintly, "Okay, it'll be soon."

She didn't stop walking and continued forward, but her arm was grabbed. Xu Mingze gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Shutong, are you really so despicable? How can you even stomach such an old man?"

Xu Mingze felt that she was a stranger at this moment.

Even when they were together, she resolutely refused to spend his money.

He once offered to buy a house for the Jiang family, but she refused.

Is it really true, as Qing'er said, that Jiang Shutong's lack of materialism when she was with him was all an act?

Jiang Shutong's face turned cold. "What's it to you? We've already broken up."

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Muqing's unpleasant expression, then smiled and said, "Xu Mingze, you wouldn't be jealous because you haven't let go of me yet, would you?"

Xu Mingze immediately released Jiang Shutong's hand as if he were burning up. "I'm not jealous. I like Qing'er. I just can't stand you chasing after an old man for money..."

He was deeply hurt when he recalled her radiant smile just now.

She actually smiled so brightly at another man.

Jiang Shutong sneered, "Can't stand it? Then keep it to yourself."

Seeing that she was about to leave again, Xu Mingze quickly said, "Tongtong, tomorrow is my mother's birthday. She misses you. Why don't you spend her birthday with her?"

Mentioning Xu's mother softened the coldness on Jiang Shutong's face somewhat. "Didn't you tell her we broke up?"

"My mom has a heart condition and just had surgery not long ago. It would be very upsetting for her if she found out we broke up," Xu Mingze said, his voice tinged with a rare pleading tone. "Could you spend her birthday with her first? I'll find a time later to slowly tell her about the breakup..."

Despite being a scumbag, he's quite filial.

And to be honest, she could feel that Mr. and Mrs. Xu were genuinely good to her.

Unlike typical wealthy parents who are aloof and superior, they have always cared for her.

It can be said that it was with her mother that she truly understood what maternal love was.

This was a feeling her own mother had never given her.

"Okay, I can go tomorrow."

After Jiang Shutong finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the residential area without looking back.

Today she wore a light dusty rose-colored blended dress that accentuated her slender waist, and below the hem were a pair of long, straight, fair legs.

Xu Mingze's gaze remained fixed on the woman's slender back, and his throat bobbed slightly.

Jiang Shutong heard Jiang Muqing's relentless arguing coming from a distance behind her.

"You're still looking at your sister..."

"You haven't let her go yet!"

……

Inside a Rolls-Royce.

Pei Yichen made a phone call to his assistant.

"Buy me an apartment in your neighborhood, one I can move into immediately."

Li Kai: "..."

What kind of status does he have that the CEO lives in the same house as him?

Although he couldn't understand it, he didn't dare to say anything more. "Okay, President Pei, I'll arrange it right away."

"Wait a minute," Pei Yichen added, "Let's buy the house next door."

Living with his assistant makes it easier for him to work.

Li Kai suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

Who wants to live with the boss?

This means he'll be working like a slave 24/7.

Evil capitalists.

He hesitated before saying, "Mr. Pei, actually, the environment in our neighborhood isn't that great either..."

Pei Yichen raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you tell me before that your neighborhood was very nice and comfortable to live in?"

"Well, it gets the same after a while. Besides, the apartment next door is a small three-bedroom unit, you wouldn't be used to it..."

The CEO used to live in a villa or a large apartment.

"It's okay, I just need a small apartment."

Li Kai continued his desperate attempt to explain, "Um, Mr. Pei, it seems the apartment next door to me has already been sold."

"It's alright, go tell that homeowner I'll pay double the price."

Li Kai: ……

Are they willing to pay double to move here and exploit him?

He didn't realize that their CEO was a heartless capitalist.

With tears in his eyes, Li Kai agreed, "Okay, President Pei, I understand."

Actually, the stall next door is still empty and hasn't been sold yet...
