After entering the room, Jiang Tingxia saw the woman at first sight. She was about thirty years old, with a gentle and beautiful appearance. She was either a lady from a wealthy family or a beautiful girl from a small family.

When she looked over, An Qing was also looking at her, and alarm bells started ringing in her heart.

This woman...

She has fair skin, beautiful features, and a pair of captivating almond-shaped eyes. Her curves are exquisite, and her waist is so slender that it can be held in one hand. Most importantly, she has an outstanding temperament, like a red rose with thorns, a beauty that is bold and passionate, not inferior to that of a female star.

Also, looks very young.

An Qing is four years younger than Pei Yanzhou and is already thirty-five this year. She spends a lot of money on maintenance and the results are remarkable. She looks several years younger than her actual age.

However, when compared with the woman in front of him, the difference is immediately apparent. They are not of the same age group.

An Qing had already guessed that this woman must be the "stepmother" Jiang Suisui had mentioned to her last night, but she pretended not to know and smiled generously, "Yanzhou, you're back. This is..."

Before Jiang Tingxia could speak, Pei Yanzhou said directly: "My wife!"

Jiang Tingxia smiled and said in a friendly manner, "Hello, sister. It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance."

This word "sister" is very teay.

An Qing pursed her lips, her intuition telling her that this woman was not as simple as she seemed.

"Yes, I have something to talk to Yanzhou about."

Jiang Tingxia blinked, looking curious, "What's the matter? Can I know?"

An Qing didn't answer, but said to Pei Yanzhou: "Yanzhou, I just came back from abroad last week. My grandfather asked me to hold a welcoming banquet for me next week and asked me to invite the Pei family, so I came here. I'm sorry for not telling you in advance."

Pei Yanzhou immediately refused, "No."

"What?" An Qing suddenly became anxious. "Yanzhou, my grandfather watched you grow up, and he used to joke about a marriage between our two families. He is very old now, and he said he hasn't seen you in a long time. His health has not been very good in recent years, so you should fulfill his wish. When the time comes, your parents will also be there, so please do me a favor."

Pei Yanzhou looked at Jiang Tingxia beside him, waiting for her instructions.

An Qing, "..."

No way, even such a small matter requires asking this woman's opinion?

Who is the master of this house?

She couldn't believe it when she heard Jiang Tingxia say, "Since the two families have a good relationship, then you can go."

Pei Yanzhou thought for two seconds before saying to An Qing, "Okay, if you want to go, I'll bring my wife along."

This was definitely not the result An Qing wanted, but she could only laugh dryly, "Of course... of course!"

At this moment, she suddenly noticed the strawberry mark on Jiang Tingxia's neck. Her eyes dimmed a little, and a strong sense of jealousy and unwillingness surged in her heart.

She has known Pei Yanzhou for many years, but they haven't even had the chance to hold hands. How could this woman have developed such an intimate relationship with him?

An Qing gritted her teeth secretly, but maintained a smile on her face, "By the way, Yanzhou, are you married to this young lady? When did you meet? There was no news at all. It was Sui Sui who told me."

Jiang Tingxia was stunned. This woman has a good relationship with Sui Sui?

Pei Yanzhou said calmly, "We have known each other for a long time. As for when we got married, there is no need to ask. This is a matter between me and my wife."

An Qing felt even more uncomfortable when he kept calling her "wife".

Ten years ago, she met Pei Yanzhou for the first time at her grandfather's birthday party.

He was dressed in a neat black custom-made suit, and he was handsome and tall. He was the most eye-catching man in the room, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

However, there was an unremovable melancholy in his eyes.

The second time I saw him was at a business event half a year later. He announced his retirement from the entertainment industry during an interview with a reporter.

The melancholy between his brows was even deeper than before, and there was a hint of fatigue in his expression. She suddenly felt distressed.

Since the two families have a connection, it is a kind of fate, and she has to help him and save him.

Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to get close to him in the past few years, she failed. So she started with Jiang Suisui. The child was at an age where she needed care, so she gave her motherly love and care, and got a lot of information about Pei Yanzhou from her.

However, even if she knew Pei Yanzhou's preferences and activities, it would be of no use.

Three years ago, her grandfather thought she was getting old and told her to stop focusing on Pei Yanzhou and find another man. She refused, and with her family forcing her to get married, she decided to go abroad.

I didn't expect that when I came back, it would be such a bolt from the blue!

An Qing stared at Jiang Tingxia, her eyes becoming increasingly obscure and uncertain.

Jiang Tingxia saw it and turned to Pei Yanzhou and said, "Hubby, I'm hungry."

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll ask the kitchen to make it."

"I want to eat what you cook."

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

Looking at Pei Yanzhou's doting eyes, An Qing suspected that she was hallucinating.

He... could actually have such a look in his eyes. She had never seen it before!

When Pei Yanzhou went to the kitchen, An Qing couldn't pretend anymore. She looked at Jiang Tingxia with a cold look, "Who are you?"

Jiang Tingxia sensed a hint of hostility in her tone, but she wasn't one to take it lightly. She scoffed, "What does this have to do with you, Big Sister?"

An Qing, "...!!"

Miss?

He just called her sister affectionately!

She knew that this woman was no ordinary woman, and her innocent and lovely appearance just now was all an act.

An Qing said with a cold face: "I don't know how you got close to Pei Yanzhou, but don't think he is sincere to you."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"The person he loves most in his life is his ex-wife who passed away more than ten years ago! You will never be able to replace his ex-wife!"

"How do you know?" Jiang Tingxia smiled, "Don't think that if you fail, I will fail too."

"you--"

A trace of embarrassment crossed An Qing's face. "Anyway, he can't be sincere to you! Now, he's just playing with you. I believe it won't be long before he abandons you!"

"Really?" Jiang Tingxia raised the corner of her mouth. "It's good to play around. Unlike you, he doesn't even want to play with you."

An Qing widened her eyes in shock.

She had been spoiled since she was little, and no one had ever let her suffer this kind of bullying. Today, she was actually bullied by an unknown woman. She couldn't stand it!

Jiang Tingxia glanced at her sideways, "You're not leaving yet? What? Do you need me to ask someone to ask you to leave?"

An Qing was even more furious when she heard her say, "It's fine if you came uninvited, but you called him husband so affectionately that someone who didn't know would think you were having an affair. Big sister, please go back and look in the mirror. If you didn't vomit, it means you're really thick-skinned!"

Just then, Butler Zhong passed by, and Jiang Tingxia said to him, "Uncle Zhong, please show the guest away."

An Qing knew that Uncle Zhong had worked here for many years and held a very important position, and he also knew her. This woman had just arrived, so she definitely didn't take her seriously.

Unexpectedly, Butler Zhong stepped forward and gestured towards the door, "Miss An, please."

"?!" An Qing was so angry that her face was about to twist!
