Third Master, please restrain yourself. Our marriage is a marriage of convenience.

"Damn it! When did this happen? How come I didn't hear a thing? Are you guys isolating me while I'm abroad?"

Liang Xuyan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief, and he raised his voice several decibels.

You know, Third Brother is known in the industry as a man who is abstinent and doesn't get close to women. He was abroad for half a year, so how come he got married as soon as he came back?

Qin Yuyang said, "Third Brother's marriage was arranged. Grandma Shen took a liking to the Ji family's adopted daughter, and Third Brother married her to please the old lady."

Liang Xuyan frowned: "Is there a problem with her being the Ji family's adopted daughter?"

The Ji family was not on the same level as them at all, so he naturally wouldn't pay attention to the Ji family. Let alone the adopted daughter, he didn't even know what the Ji family's daughter's name was or what she looked like.

"There's a problem, Third Brother!"

Qin Yuyang grew angrier as he spoke, his mouth rattling like a machine gun: "Third Brother, despite having a wife, was having lunch with a woman named Pei Jinhe in his office!"

"And Pei Jinhe is a married woman! The two married people were eating alone in the office, with the door closed, and even Shen Feng and Shen Yan weren't inside!"

"We've known Third Brother since we were toddlers. When have you ever seen him eat alone with a woman?"

Liang Xuyan remained silent after listening.

He had indeed never seen Shen Huaiyu eat with a woman.

Previously, many socialites and heiresses from Kyoto had invited Shen Huaiyu to dinner under the guise of work, but he had rejected them all.

He said coldly, "We can talk about work, but let's skip the meal."

Even if a member of the opposite sex comes to discuss work alone, one of Shen Feng and Shen Yan will always be by Shen Huaiyu's side.

During lunch break, I ate alone with someone of the opposite sex in the office.

There's definitely something fishy going on.

However, he did not believe that Shen Huaiyu was the kind of person who would change his mind frequently.

Given Shen Huaiyu's personality, since he married the adopted daughter of the Ji family, he would definitely have to take responsibility for her.

Liang Xuyan hesitated before speaking, "Could that person be my sister-in-law?"

Qin Yuyang said with great certainty: "I asked her as soon as I first met her, and she said no."

The adopted daughter of the Ji family will definitely have the surname Ji, while Pei Jinhe will have the surname Pei.

Even the surname doesn't match.

Liang Xuyan frowned even more deeply: "I don't believe it. Third Brother couldn't possibly do such a thing."

Qin Yuyang said angrily, "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the door to the private room was pushed open by someone outside.

The man standing at the door was handsome beyond compare, with a straight nose, thin red lips, and phoenix eyes that were both upturned and curved. The small mole at the corner of his right eye added a touch of abstinence to his allure. His pupils were dark and unfathomable.

Her aura was aloof and noble, making people want to keep their distance.

The woman beside her was tall and slender with exquisite features. Her peach blossom eyes had a deep affection, but they were also excessively clean. Her skin was extremely white, and her facial lines were smooth. She was beautiful without a trace of worldliness.

She wasn't wearing makeup, and her outfit consisted of a simple white coat and casual pants, but this very simple attire made her look even cleaner and purer.

The two of them standing together looked exceptionally well-matched, both in appearance and physique.

When Liang Xuyan first met Pei Jinhe, he stared at him blankly for several seconds before snapping out of his daze.

He considered himself to have seen hundreds, if not thousands, of beautiful women, but he had never seen anyone as beautiful as this before.

He suddenly understood Shen Huaiyu's actions a little better.

Such a stunning beauty, who wouldn't be captivated by her?

Moreover, Shen Huaiyu and the adopted daughter of the Ji family have no feelings for each other.

Shen Huaiyu walked in, took off his coat, revealing a black shirt underneath, and then naturally took Pei Jinhe's coat, casually hanging it on the hanger next to him.

Pei Jinhe was taken aback.

Isn't he being a little too natural?

Is this acting really that good?

Forget it.

Never mind, she'll just cooperate with Shen Huaiyu.

After all, they're giving so much money.

Shen Huaiyu looked at Qin Yuyang and asked casually.

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

Qin Yuyang saw Pei Jinhe so angry that he jumped to his feet, his rage soaring. He stormed up to Shen Huaiyu, practically pointing his finger at him and yelling, "So, Shen Huaiyu! I really misjudged you! You actually brought her to this kind of event! You're a real scumbag!"

Shen Huaiyu stared at him expressionlessly, his dark, cold eyes fixed on him.

Qin Yuyang felt a chill run down his neck from his gaze.

Normally, he would have chickened out, but this was just too much!

Even if he calls Shen Huaiyu "Third Brother," he will still stand on the side of justice!

"What are you glaring at me for! Glaring won't change the fact that you're a piece of trash!"

Qin Yuyang, neck stiff, raised his voice to maintain his imposing manner, and after berating Shen Huaiyu, glared angrily at Pei Jinhe: "And you! How can you do this to your husband? Although Third Brother is rich, handsome, and has a great physique, that's no excuse for you to cheat on him!"

Pei Jinhe: "..."

This is a series of elaborate ways of praising Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Huaiyu's voice was cold and indifferent: "She is your sister-in-law."

Qin Yuyang scoffed, "That's a terrible excuse. Let me tell you, Shen Huaiyu, you think you can fool me? No way!"

They even have different surnames, and you still wanted to lie to him!

Is he such a gullible person?!

Pei Jinhe emphasized: "It's true."

Qin Yuyang snorted coldly: "You two are like kindred spirits in a lowly place, no wonder you can hit it off."

Pei Jinhe: "..."

Now look what's happened, you're not teasing people anymore.

Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear his name.

"See for yourself." Shen Huaiyu took out his phone from his pocket, opened a photo, and tossed it to Qin Yuyang.

Qin Yuyang was stunned when he saw the marriage certificate on it.

The names on the document are Pei Jinhe and Shen Huaiyu, and the seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau is clearly affixed to them.

Qin Yuyang's head was buzzing. He looked at Pei Jinhe, then at Shen Huaiyu, and opened his mouth: "Sister-in-law, aren't you the Ji family's adopted daughter?"

Why not have the surname Ji?

Pei Jinhe explained, "I am indeed an adopted daughter of the Ji family, but I don't have the surname Ji."

The Ji family felt that she, as an outsider, was not worthy of the surname Ji, so they forced her to change it.

Qin Yuyang's heart sank to the ground, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What did he just curse at Third Brother?

Scum.

He even scolded his sister-in-law.

They even said that the two of them were kindred spirits in a lowly, polluted place.

Is it too late for him to kneel down now?

Can he be saved?

If he could turn back time, he would definitely slap his past self from two minutes ago and tell him not to talk nonsense.

Qin Yuyang glanced at Shen Huaiyu cautiously.

Shen Huaiyu's eyes were extremely cold, with a chilling light in them that was quite intimidating.

Qin Yuyang handed over the phone with both hands, his tone extremely humble: "Third Brother, please let me explain."
