Chapter 383

Early the next morning, Pei family.

Chen Moru got up and went downstairs, and was stunned to see her son sitting on the restaurant chair.

She subconsciously looked at the time on the wall, confirmed it was 7:30 AM, and then looked at her son, frowning and asking: "You just got back, right?"

Pei Qingyan smiled upon hearing this: "Mom, I came back to sleep before two o'clock yesterday!"

"That's really fresh!"

Chen Moru said as she walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at her son with suspicion.

Because she knew her own son; he was even more worrying than her daughter.

Her daughter was at most childish, rebellious, willful, and spoiled.

But this son had really learned all the bad qualities of wealthy children.

He would go out to play at night and never come back, only returning after waking up in a hotel the next day.

Nightly revelry, spending money like water, and there were some things she knew in her heart. Every once in a while, she had to remind her son to pay attention to protective measures and not get infected with diseases he shouldn't have.

Coming back to sleep at two in the morning?

She couldn't remember when the last time such a thing happened.

"Why look at me like that? Can't I come home in the middle of the night?"

"You're in trouble again, right?" Chen Moru guessed based on her son's personality and today's abnormal behavior: "Fighting with someone again?"

As she spoke, she turned to observe if there were any traces of injury on her son.

"No, no." Pei Qingyan hurriedly denied, and then diligently peeled an egg for his mother: "Mom, who was the guest yesterday? I know Auntie Gu, but I have no impression of the others. New friends?"

He was her son after all.

Chen Moru knew what kind of shit he was going to pull as soon as he took off his pants.

She glared at him immediately and warned: "Don't ask blindly. A-Ci is still in university, and she is a very capable child, unlike you. Don't think about harming her."

"How can you call it harming?" Pei Qingyan straightened his body: "No, I'm your son, right? You look down on me that much?"

Chen Moru let out a cold laugh directly.

Pei Qingyan immediately showed an injured expression: "Mom, at the very least, I look good, right?"

"A-Ci is not that kind of superficial person. This face of yours is only good for fooling those little girls who don't know the world."

Shen Ci's voiceover: "Auntie, I'm really quite superficial when it comes to men!"

"Isn't she a little girl? She's several years younger than me!" Pei Qingyan said unconvinced.

Chen Moru looked at her son for a moment and said word by word: "She is several years younger than you, but she already has a net worth of over ten thousand based on her own ability. Can you?"

"Stop joking, I don't believe it." Pei Qingyan curled his lips and laughed disdainfully: "She hasn't even graduated from university, can she..."

Halfway through, he choked again, because his mother's face was extremely serious, not joking at all.

"Re—really?" Pei Qingyan was shocked.

Chen Moru showed an expression of not wanting to talk nonsense with him and shook her head: "Hurry up and eat your meal. Seeing you sitting at the table at breakfast time, I thought I saw a ghost, but it turns out you have a ghost in your heart."

"I invited Shen Ci yesterday to introduce her to your sister, but it backfired. I understand now, A-Ci is not on the same level as you two. No chance!"

"Mom, then you're a bit biased." Pei Qingyan's focus shifted again: "How could you only think about introducing new friends to my sister? I can also be friends with her first, right? I'm at least better at making friends than my sister?"

"You?" Chen Moru looked at her son with disgust and snorted: "You're suitable to be a marketer in a bar!"

Pei Qingyan: "..."

Today is Monday, the day Shen Ci and Yan Wenxi agreed to eat together.

Shuiyun Jian.

Shen Ci pushed the door and walked into the private room. The smiling expression on her face froze when she saw the people in the room.

Uncle Yang wasn't there today. She originally thought it would just be her and her brother. She also thought about asking the doubts and guesses in her heart in a relatively private environment.

As a result, besides Yan Wenxi, there was a very beautiful young woman in the private room, as well as several faces she was completely unfamiliar with.

Duanduan was also there.

"A-Ci is here!"

Yan Wenxi greeted her first, and only then did Shen Ci react: "Brother."

"Come, let me introduce you first." Yan Wenxi rarely showed a smile on his face. As he spoke, the woman sitting next to him stood up, and then Yan Wenxi introduced very formally: "Wang Zhaoning, my wife."

"Hello, A-Ci. I often hear your brother mention you. Finally met you in person, you're really beautiful." As soon as Wang Zhaoning spoke, her voice was as gentle and sweet as her appearance, and it sounded particularly good.

Shen Ci showed an unexpected and shocked expression, but hurriedly reached out to greet her: "So it's sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law!"

The reason she reacted so surprisingly was that she had never thought her brother would suddenly introduce her sister-in-law to her in such an occasion.

He even rarely mentioned this person, sister-in-law. At least in her impression, Shen Ci only remembered her brother saying he was married, but didn't mention anything about her.

Her understanding was that her brother's identity was special, and in order to protect his family, he had to protect their privacy to the greatest extent and reduce contact between his family and the outside world, especially those who had intersections with him.

But today he took the initiative to introduce her, which was why she was so surprised.

"Brother, you too. You didn't tell me in advance that sister-in-law would come today." Shen Ci reacted and couldn't help but blame him.

If she had known, she would definitely have prepared a meeting gift in advance.

How could Yan Wenxi not guess Shen Ci's thoughts? He said directly: "Don't spend that useless money, your sister-in-law lacks nothing."

Wang Zhaoning smiled subtly, her eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful, and the love in her eyes when looking at Yan Wenxi couldn't be hidden.

Shen Ci poured a glass of wine. Although she was very happy that her brother introduced her sister-in-law to her today, which showed he trusted her completely.

But thinking of the things she was worried about in her heart, she was afraid it wouldn't be easy to ask in front of her sister-in-law.

But if she didn't ask, she would be very worried in her heart, especially after witnessing someone being taken away at the entrance of "Loushang Huiguan" the other day.

However, before she could figure out what to talk about during this meal today, Wang Zhaoning suddenly stood up to say goodbye: "A-Ci, I came today just to meet you. Your brother said he has something to talk to you about, so I won't disturb you and will go back first."

Shen Ci was stunned, then hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law is going back already? We haven't even eaten yet!"

"The auntie at home has already prepared it, you guys just eat."

As she spoke, she looked at Duanduan on the side and said: "Duanduan, will you send me back?"

"Okay." Duanduan nodded: "Then Big Brother, Sister Ci, I'll send sister-in-law back."

Yan Wenxi only nodded and said "Slow down on the road." Seeing her brother didn't stop her, Shen Ci also sent her off: "Then sister-in-law, let's make an appointment another time?"

"Alright, don't send me off, you guys chat."

After Wang Zhaoning left, the atmosphere in the room changed suddenly. Plus the people her brother brought today were all strangers to her, which made her sit back in her seat inexplicably.

Then she saw Yan Wenxi suddenly take out a thick stack of documents and place them on the table.

Shen Ci blinked: "Brother?"

Yan Wenxi looked at her and said slowly: "These are some of my private properties in Longcheng, not within the group. Most of them are in your sister-in-law's name, including twenty-seven bars, four entertainment clubs, and some others."

Speaking of this, Yan Wenxi's breath paused, and then he looked at Shen Ci and asked: "A-Ci, can I temporarily hand them over to you?"
