a week later.

As the lights came on, a black luxury car slowly stopped in front of the An family villa.

The driver opened the back door of the car, and a tall man in a well-tailored handmade black suit got out first, then extended his hand to the people in the car like a gentleman.

Many guests had already arrived at the scene, and they were all stunned after recognizing the man.

This... this is actually Pei Yanzhou?

They hadn't seen him for a long time. Ever since he retired from the entertainment industry, all the news about him was negative. His image was that of an unkempt middle-aged man, just like everyone else. He had completely lost the image of the national idol he once was. But now...

His hair was carefully styled and combed back, revealing his smooth forehead. His handsome face looked even more angular under the lighting, and his facial features were particularly deep.

No matter how you look at it, he looks rejuvenated!

Everyone was still in surprise when they saw a white, slender hand resting on his hand.

Then, a young woman in a moon-white long dress got out of the car. She had long, slightly curly hair that reached her waist, a small face the size of a palm, and was an absolute beauty with outstanding bone structure. Her temperament was as outstanding as the bright white moonlight in the night sky, which was fascinating.

Pei Yanzhou, standing beside her, seemed to be overshadowed.

He held Jiang Tingxia's hand tightly and looked at her deeply, "Xia Xia, you are so beautiful tonight."

Jiang Tingxia smiled at him and said, "Speak more, I love to hear it."

Pei Yanzhou moved closer to her and said, "I'll tell you slowly after we get back."

There is something really ambiguous between the two of them. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that their relationship must be complicated.

Pei Yanzhou raised his arm slightly, and Jiang Tingxia tacitly took his hand and walked into the villa gate under the gaze of everyone.

Fortunately, she had never appeared in public before and rarely attended such banquets, so few people knew her. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to attend the banquet with Pei Yanzhou openly, as it would probably make many people suspect that she had seen a ghost.

And tonight's protagonist, An Qing, also dressed up carefully, and asked a top team to help with her styling. She also changed into a royal blue haute couture dress with shimmering diamonds, which made her makeup more delicate and her skin look exceptionally white. As soon as she appeared, she was praised by the guests.

An Qing responded with a smile, looking forward to Pei Yanzhou's arrival.

Not long after, the person she was waiting for finally arrived, but he came with another woman.

Although Pei Yanzhou said that he would come with his so-called wife, it was still very dazzling when he actually saw her!

Many people greeted Pei Yanzhou along the way. A middle-aged, portly man came forward with a big smile on his face and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Pei! Long time no see. Do you still remember me? I'm from Lin's Real Estate..."

Pei Yanzhou nodded politely, "Boss Lin."

President Lin looked at Jiang Tingxia and marveled at her beauty. None of the women present tonight were as dazzling as her.

He asked curiously, "Who is this lady?"

Pei Yanzhou also looked at the person beside him, his eyes suddenly becoming doting, "My wife."

"Ah?" Mr. Lin was a little surprised.

I heard that Mr. Pei was deeply devoted to his deceased wife and hadn't had any other woman with him for over a decade. He even told people in his circle that Mr. Pei was incredibly determined, able to remain faithful to a deceased woman for so many years. But, he was proven wrong!

Not only did Mr. Pei remarry, but he also remarried a young and beautiful woman.

However, as a man himself, Mr. Lin expressed his full understanding.

The old man of the An family observed Pei Yanzhou, then turned to An Qing beside him and said, "Is this the man you said was deeply affectionate and loyal, and that's why you loved him for so many years? He has a new love now, what do you think?"

An Qing gritted her teeth, "So what? Grandpa, do you think a man who has been alone for so many years would suddenly be interested in a woman? That woman must have used some tricks to make Pei Yanzhou's heart fall on her temporarily. However, it will definitely not last long."

Old Master An glared, "What do you mean, you still want to wait for him? Don't you see how old you are? What if he has been playing with that woman for years? You still want to wait?"

"Of course not. Now that I'm back and see him again, of course I'm going to take the initiative."

At this moment, a small hand pulled her, "Auntie Qing!"

An Qing turned around and saw Jiang Suisui.

She had two ponytails and wore a pink Lolita dress. She looked young and cute, like a doll.

An Qing immediately put on a smile, "Sui Sui, you're here. Auntie Qing specially asked the chef to make your favorite matcha cake. Come on, Auntie Qing will take you to eat."

"Okay." Jiang Suisui said, greeted Old Man An, and followed An Qing to the dessert area. As he walked, he whispered, "Aunt Qing, I've figured out a way to deal with that woman."

An Qing was secretly delighted, but pretended to be worried, "Sui Sui, are you sure? If you do this, what if your father is unhappy..."

Jiang Suisui pouted, "Humph! What's there for him to be unhappy about? He found me a stepmother without my consent, and I'm still unhappy! Aunt Qing, you will help me too, right?"

"Of course, Aunt Qing is definitely on your side."

"That's great! Aunt Qing is still the best." Jiang Suisui hugged her arm and rubbed it affectionately.

An Qing hugged her and asked with a smile, "Sui Sui, Aunt Qing has a question for you. If... it was me attending the banquet with your father today, as his wife, would you be able to accept it?"

Jiang Suisui suddenly looked up at her and blinked, "I... haven't thought about it."

In fact, of course she didn't want to do that. There was only one mother, and no one could replace her.

In short, no matter who Dad marries, she will not recognize it, even if it is Aunt Qing. Although she is really good to her, she only regards her as an older sister at most, and has never regarded her as a mother.

Jiang Suisui laughed and said perfunctorily, "I don't know either. I haven't thought about having a stepmother."

An Qing's face froze, and then she smiled again. "But no matter what, if Aunt Qing is your mother, it's better than any other woman, right? From childhood to adulthood, can't you feel whether Aunt Qing is good to you or not? When you were a child, Aunt Qing would buy you whatever you wanted, take you out to play, tell you stories, and help you with your homework..."

"Of course I felt it. I didn't say Aunt Qing was bad."

Jiang Suisui coquettishly held her arm and shook it, then let her go. "I'm going to find that woman. Aunt Qing, just wait and see how I embarrass her!"

After she ran away, An Qing's eyes darkened, and then she made a phone call, "Hey, are you ready for everything I asked you to prepare?"

"Yes, Miss An, everything is ready."

"That's good."

After hanging up the phone, An Qing looked in the direction of Jiang Tingxia and smiled coldly.

Jiang Suisui was just a kid, so any sparks she could create would probably be just minor fights. At the crucial moment, she still had to take action!
