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

The next day was Sunday.

Jiang Shutong slept in late, not getting up until ten o'clock.

She was woken up by Pei Zhengping's phone call.

She didn't even know how he got her phone number.

Pei Zhengping told her confidently over the phone that he would be coming to Mingjing Garden for lunch today.

Jiang Shutong said no problem.

She quickly got up, washed up, and went to buy groceries.

At 11 o'clock, while Jiang Shutong was still preparing food in the kitchen, Pei Zhengping arrived.

She wiped her hands on her apron and then went to open the door.

"Dad, please sit down first. We can eat right away."

Pei Zhengping strolled in slowly. "Hmm, take your time."

He was wearing ordinary casual clothes today, and you couldn't tell the brand.

After confirming that his son was engrossed in his work in the study, he followed Jiang Shutong into the kitchen.

Seeing him follow her in, Jiang Shutong quickly said, "Dad, you can go out first. I don't need any help here."

Pei Zhengping pouted in dissatisfaction. He was overthinking it; who would offer her help?

He watched the woman's busy figure, coughed lightly, and said, "It's like this, as you know, Yichen will never be able to stand up again in this lifetime. You are still young, and you are also good-looking. As for your personality, you are a good wife and mother. You don't need to waste your whole life on him."

As Jiang Shutong ladled out the cooked soup, she said, "Dad, I know you mean well, but I'm doing fine now, so you don't need to say anything more."

She actually made a profit by marrying Pei Yichen, as she gets to live in the most expensive apartment complex in the city.

If it weren't for Pei Yichen, she probably wouldn't be able to afford a house here even if she worked hard her whole life.

Marrying Pei Yichen means you won't have to have marital relations or bear him children.

However, Pei Yichen voluntarily handed over his salary card to her.

Although Pei Yichen will be in a wheelchair from now on, at least he can take care of himself.

And it seems he hasn't lost his job; he must have applied for working from home.

That's true. He's a programmer; it doesn't matter where he works.

He spends more than ten hours a day working in his study, seemingly so dedicated that Boyu cannot function without him.

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhengping's lips twitched, but he insisted on stating the purpose of his visit today.

"I have an old friend's son I'd like to introduce to you. Don't worry, his family is quite well-off, you won't suffer if you marry into their family..."

Seeing her father-in-law worrying about her future and even acting as a matchmaker for her, Jiang Shutong felt a warm current flow through her heart.

She really didn't expect that her seemingly cold and aloof father-in-law, who spoke harshly to her, could go to such lengths.

She put down the soup in her hand. "Dad, you really don't need to worry about me. I'm doing fine now."

She's doing better than she did in the previous twenty years.

No longer need to act as a bloodsucker, no longer need to worry about the whole family.

She is living a free and easy life now.

Pei Zhengping: "You two should meet him first. Maybe you'll fall in love with him after you meet him."

My son is so cold and aloof; I don't know what it is about him that attracts me.

Without saying a word, Pei Zhengping stuffed a business card into Jiang Shutong's apron pocket. "You can contact him first. I've also given him your phone number, so he might contact you too."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a father actively trying to steal his son's girlfriend..." Pei Yichen's cold voice rang out.

This father of his never knew what he wanted.

Perhaps he knew, but he never cared.

Pei Zhengping felt a little embarrassed when he saw Pei Yichen's wheelchair appear at the kitchen door.

The next second, he said righteously, "I'm just giving her another option. You don't even like her, so why do you want to tie her to your side for life?"

These righteous and awe-inspiring words moved Jiang Shutong even more.

She made up her mind that she would take good care of him when he got old.

Pei Yichen said expressionlessly, "Grandpa's plane arrives in Beijing tonight. I will tell him the truth: you must introduce his granddaughter-in-law to someone else."

"What? Your grandfather is coming back today?"

Pei Zhengping was clearly stunned by the news; the old man was coming back without even informing him.

Pei Yichen nodded, "Yes, he said he wanted to come back to see his granddaughter-in-law."

Pei Zhengping was immediately exasperated. "Didn't I tell you not to tell Grandpa about the wedding yet?"

The man in the wheelchair said casually, "Wouldn't it be better to tell him about such a happy occasion in advance, so he can enjoy it?"

"What time does his plane land? I'll pick him up then."

"Midnight."

Pei Zhengping thought that he must pick up the old man as soon as possible and tell him that he should keep his identity a secret from Jiang Shutong.

Pei Zhengping ate the meal somewhat absentmindedly.

They left in a hurry after finishing their meal.

As Jiang Shutong went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, her cell phone rang on the table.

When Pei Yichen saw the three words "Wen Shiyan" on the screen, a slight ripple appeared on his usually indifferent face.

Why would Wen Shiyan call her?

The woman came out of the kitchen when she heard the phone ring. She quickly picked up the phone and answered it with the enthusiasm due to a customer, "Hello, Mr. Wen."

"I'm glad you're satisfied with that proposal..."

Pei Yichen watched as the woman's expression became lively and expressive, her smile genuine and fervent.

"Want to have dinner together tonight? Okay, no problem."

A drop of water splashed onto the woman's face as she washed the dishes. Her eyes were focused on listening to the person on the other end of the phone, and a faint smile played on her lips.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shutong said to Pei Yichen, "I'm going to have dinner with a client tonight. You can order takeout whatever you want to eat."

"What kind of client insists on discussing work on the weekend?"

Jiang Shutong tossed her phone back onto the table. "It's Wen Shiyan, the older brother of the Wen family's daughter. The Wen Group project is the last project I have on hand right now, and I hope to do it well."

"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't be in charge of Wens' projects anymore?"

"The person I'm dealing with at the Wen Group has changed to Wen Shiyan. Unlike Wen Luoyao, who deliberately made things difficult for me, let me tell you, her brother is much better. He's gentle, polite, professional, and well-mannered. He's practically the best client I've ever met." She became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling.

In Pei Yichen's eyes, her behavior was simply infatuation.

The man's eyes darkened, and he asked, "You admire him?"

Jiang Shutong nodded generously, "Yes, of course. He comes from a privileged background and is good-looking, but he doesn't have the typical bad habits of rich kids. He's gentle and polite, and he works hard and diligently..."

Pei Yichen couldn't stand it anymore. "Where are you having dinner tonight? Take me with you."
