After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

Although they got their marriage certificate, only the Shen family and Jessica knew about it to protect Bai Tao's reputation.

The Xie family agreed to create a separate page for Pei Jin's family genealogy.

On the day the genealogy was entered, everyone in the Xie family who was still alive came.

Pei Jin wore a black modern Chinese-style suit designed by Bai Tao, with gold bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs.

Bai Tao wasn't with him today, and he didn't even bother to pretend, standing listlessly behind a group of elders.

To be reinstated in the family genealogy, one needs to change their surname.

The eternal red Xuan paper was slowly unfurled, revealing the name Xie Yanzhi, which his elders had calculated for him.

Pei Jin glanced down, picked up his pen, crossed out the three words, and wrote three new words on the paper.

Xie Mubai.

Xie Lingyun stood behind him. When he saw those three words, he lowered his head with a mixture of relief and regret: Mu Bai.

Mu Bai, who admires Bai Tao.

He lowered his head, smiled, and suppressed the bitterness in his heart. When he looked up again, Pei Jin was standing in front of him, staring at him with a disdainful and flirtatious gaze, not missing a single expression of his.

People were whispering among themselves. An old man walked up to Pei Jin's grandfather with dissatisfaction and said something to him.

"This...this child was already born...and now they're not even using the name the clan gave them, what kind of behavior is this?"

Pei Jin's grandfather waved his hand but did not reply.

A previous decision had separated them from the child for far too long.

Pei Jin's achievement this time was significant; he donated all the money he earned.

Right now, the Xie family needs someone like this to win favor with those above them.

With Xie Mubai's name officially written into the family genealogy, Pei Jin's mood visibly improved.

For countless years to come, he and Bai Tao will stand side by side.

As the event ended, Pei Jin was washing his hands in the restroom when he encountered Xie Lingyun, who was coming out of the restroom.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

Pei Jin spoke first, his tone carrying an undisguised boastfulness and provocation.

"Does my brother also think my wife is cute?"

Pei Jin was washing his hands, and the diamond on his ring was refracted by the bathroom light and water droplets, casting a shimmering light that fell right into Xie Lingyun's eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest. He coughed and went to wash his hands next to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin turned off the tap, leaned against the sink, and stared at Xie Lingyun's profile.

"Don't you think my wife is adorable, brother?"

After saying that, he deliberately showed his hand to Xie Lingyun.

"We're married, brother."

Xie Lingyun let out a soft breath, smiled, turned off the tap, pulled out a paper towel from the side, and glanced at Pei Jin in the mirror. He appeared open and mature.

"Congratulations."

He threw the paper towel into the trash can, walked past Pei Jin, and didn't stop.

Pei Jin stood there, glanced down at the ring on his hand, then stared at himself in the mirror and kissed the ring.

Then he straightened up and followed them out of the door.

Three days later,

The scene of the press conference featuring interviews with outstanding young entrepreneurs.

A female reporter in a business suit sat on the stage, microphone in hand, her gaze sweeping across the audience, her tone calm and confident.

"Hello everyone, it is a great honor to have the opportunity to interview three outstanding young entrepreneurs today."

Now, please allow me to introduce them.

First up, Bai Shen, Chairman and President of the Bai Group—let's give him a round of applause!

After speaking, she placed the microphone on her suit skirt and began to lead the applause.

Bai Shen, dressed in a black haute couture suit, stood up, bowed slightly to those behind him, raised his hand in greeting, and then sat down again.

His aura is much more composed than before, and he has already shown the demeanor of someone who can stand on his own.

"Secondly, Qin Yan, the new president of the Qin Group—let's welcome him with applause!"

Qin Yan was wearing a burgundy suit. He stood up with a calm demeanor, his gaze casually sweeping across the room before returning to his seat.

"The third is Xie Mubai, the founder of MK Company, a dark horse that has emerged out of nowhere and made significant contributions to the field of biomedical technology, which was almost ignored both domestically and internationally. Let's welcome him with applause!"

Pei Jin stood up, smiled, and politely and humbly bowed slightly to the person behind him, nodded in acknowledgment, and then sat down.

This was something Bai Tao had told him beforehand, saying she would watch his interview carefully after the meeting.

Several reporters in the audience stared wide-eyed; all three of them were quite handsome, and a chorus of "wows" erupted from below.

When it was Pei Jin's turn to be interviewed, the host looked at the pre-arranged script, first politely smiled at the audience,

"As a family with a century-long history, the Xie family has cultivated a generation that is in no way inferior..."

The host then introduced the Xie family's achievements, but Pei Jin neither paid attention nor cared. He only heard the last sentence.

"Then I'd like to ask Mr. Xie, does the 'MK' in MK Company have any special meaning?"

Journalists with some knowledge of the relevant fields would assume it refers to MIS (minimally invasive surgery) and Kinesiology (human kinesiology), or perhaps more advanced terms.

Finally, someone asked about Pei Jin's little design, and he smiled.

Several reporters in the audience with some knowledge of the relevant field had already set up their note-taking positions.

Pei Jin picked up the microphone, his tone softening in a way completely different from before.

"MK stands for Monkey, a name related to my lover. I won't go into the details here—she's rather shy."

After Pei Jin finished introducing MK, during his final thank-you speech, he changed the subject...

"Today, I am most grateful to my—"

He paused for a moment.

He doesn't care about worldly matters, but he can't accept anyone having even the slightest dirty thought about Bai Tao.

He meant to say wife, but then changed his words to fiancée.

"fiancée.

Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today.

She is truly a wonderful person. I have received every bit of her love; her love is exceptionally generous.

Before coming here, I proposed to her.

Fortunately, she agreed.

After speaking, Pei Jin raised his right hand and generously showed it to everyone present.

He withdrew his hand.

"It was only after meeting her that I realized it wouldn't take many years."

"Some people, the moment I fall in love with them, I want to marry them."

Some people in the audience laughed, while others took notes.

What was originally a very serious interview session became much more lighthearted, and in the end, everyone present inexplicably felt like they were being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Several older entrepreneurs smiled and shook their heads, their eyes revealing a knowing understanding.

A man who loves his wife will prosper; this saying is never just empty words.

Working with someone who respects their wife is often more worry-free.

Bai Shen, who was originally sitting in the audience, had shown some appreciation when Pei Jin introduced MK.

Upon hearing Pei Jin say that MK was Monkey, he instantly understood its meaning, and his gaze turned to scrutiny and dissatisfaction.

Pei Jin passed by him as he stepped off the stage and nodded at him.

Bai Shen snorted and turned his head to the other side, refusing to look at him.
