The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

It's Zhao Ge again.

Pei Yuanzhou could only say that Pei Youyou didn't do it on purpose, but Brother Zhao was practically saying outright that Pei Youyou did it on purpose.

Luo Huai's heart stirred slightly.

"I heard you have some kind of relationship with President Pei of the Pei Group." Tang Zhu's words were already quite tactful. Ever since Luo Huai was forced to marry Xing Yanzhao in place of him, all she had heard was that she was Pei Yuanzhou's woman.

Luo Huai didn't know what expression to make for a moment, but he gave a faint smile, which conveyed a sense of exhaustion and helplessness.

"Just young and ignorant."

“You and I are quite alike. I was about your age back then, around twenty.” Tang Zhu’s red lips curved slightly. “You don’t know, do you? Let me tell you today, your father-in-law and I were originally a well-known couple.”

A cold wind gently ruffled a few strands of Tang Zhu's hair, and her eyes held only the tranquility that comes after the vicissitudes of life.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, many people got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. I was with him when I was sixteen. For four years, I thought we would get married. He did get married, but not to me."

"Before we even broke up, news of his marriage to your mother-in-law was already all over the city. Then I was dumped, had a huge fight with your father-in-law, and it became the talk of the town." Tang Zhu smiled, but after so many years, she no longer cared.

She glanced at Luo Huai and continued, "Then your mother-in-law came to me and asked me to think about your father-in-law's future. My family background is average, so I can't help. Only your mother-in-law can help. She gave me some money and asked me to leave and not to make things ugly for everyone."

Luo Huai felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. If she were with Pei Yuanzhou, she would probably face the same situation.

"Auntie, have you agreed?"

"Your auntie here has plenty of money, looks, and figure, and certainly plenty of love. Why would I agree? I wanted an explanation, and the answer I finally got from your father-in-law was, 'I love you, but I can't live without Xing Shi.'" Tang Zhu scoffed, "Isn't that ridiculous?"

“I even attended their wedding. If your mother-in-law hadn’t mentioned thanking me for coming, everyone would have been fine. But she did, so I had no choice but to raise my glass and shout that the man from humble beginnings and the mistress are a perfect match.”

Because of this incident, Mr. and Mrs. Xing have always harbored resentment towards her.

but it does not matter.

As long as she's in a good mood.

I have no regrets so far.

"The bodyguards were trying to drag me away when your uncle, who is my husband and the father of my child, rushed out, carrying a chair. He bared his teeth at anyone who came near. Actually, the hand holding the chair was shaking the whole time; I saw it all." Tang Zhu chuckled, revealing many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Only her voice, no longer that of a young girl, and the wrinkles on her face when she smiled, could tell that Luo Huai was over forty years old.

“He was still young then, fifteen or sixteen years old, just a kid, only a little taller than me. He was hot-blooded and made your in-laws lose face in front of all the Xing family members and guests, and then he dragged me away.”

"He even said something like, 'Cousin, if you don't marry someone, there are plenty of men who want to marry you but can't.' I asked him, 'You don't actually want to marry me, do you?'"

"guess what?"

Luo Huai noticed that his aunt's eyes would light up and she couldn't help but smile whenever she mentioned his uncle.

She couldn't help but smile as well.

"Your uncle's face was as red as a shrimp, and his eyes were darting around everywhere. I said, 'Little brother, you're only sixteen. Do you know what marriage is?' He said he knew. He'd known it since he was ten."

"I only found out on our wedding night that the first time I met him was when he was ten years old. He was so precocious, so very precocious. Last year, on my second son's tenth birthday, I kept asking him if he had a girl he liked at school, which made him annoyed whenever he saw me. Sigh."

Tang Zhu looked extremely worried.

“He listened to my eldest son, and in the end, it was his older brother who had to coax him for me, sigh!” She glanced at Luo Huai, her eyes shining. “My eldest son is nineteen, and you’re twenty-two. If you were my daughter-in-law…”

"Cough cough cough!" The uncle sitting in the car couldn't stand it anymore and quickly coughed to stop it. He stuck his head out and said, "Be careful Yanzhao hears this. If he takes it to heart, he'll write it on our eldest son's head. It's an undeserved disaster for him."

"Well, Yanzhao likes Luo Huai so much." Tang Zhu said with a hint of regret. Seeing Luo Huai's dazed look, she went over and pinched her cheek. "Why are you so surprised to hear that Yanzhao likes you?"

“Brother Zhao, he, he…” Luo Huai looked up blankly, “No, right?”

He had no choice but to marry her because he wanted to enter the Xing family.

Tang Zhu smiled, withdrew her hand and said, "I didn't tell you those things for nothing. I saw that you had a similar experience to mine, and you were not afraid of your mother-in-law's power and dared to wave goodbye to me, so I thought of using my experience to tell you. It's not worth it."

"Anyone who doesn't care about your feelings and makes you sad is not worth it. You can live on your own and you can move on."

“People like us have an advantage. We’ve heard so much sweet talk in the past that we can filter out a lot of men who only talk the talk but don’t walk the walk, and avoid stepping on the landmines we’ve already encountered.”

"I don't think Yanzhao is a glib-tongued person."

Correct.

He's not glib; he has a sharp tongue.

He'll stab anyone who provokes him.

Luo Huai couldn't help but smile when she thought of the scene where he opened his mouth and made people hurt.

Upon seeing her expression, Tang Zhu immediately said, "You're thinking of Yan Zhao, aren't you?"

Luo Huai looked up but did not answer.

"Auntie, thank you."

"You're welcome. My studio's artist's new drama is about to air, remember to watch it." Tang Zhu winked at her, and as she turned around, the car door was already open. As soon as she got in, her daughter rushed into her arms, and her husband immediately took out a hand warmer from his pocket for her.

And asked, "Is my face really that red?"

"I was being too lenient."

As the car moved forward, the little girl poked her head out and waved to Luo Huai, only to be pulled back by two different hands.

Luo Huai stayed there for a long time.

They didn't go back until the car turned the corner and disappeared from sight.

I don't know what the situation is like inside.

Xing Yanzhao was scolded by his grandparents.

"Why did you have to bring her here and expose her to your face? Pei Youyou did make a mistake, but it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. You and Luo Huai are husband and wife, and you are one. She represents you, and you represent her. Pei Youyou is used to bullying the weak. She won't dare to do anything to you, but she will keep making things difficult for Luo Huai."

“The damage from so many years can’t be healed,” Xing Yanzhao said. “I’m already teaching her how to fight back, so don’t be afraid.”

Grandma Xing glared at him. "Even if your parents continue to help Xing Zhengyu and Pei Youyou in every way, you still can't resolve this?"

Xing Yanzhao didn't speak, but his eyes said it.

Grandma Xing sighed, "We can't interfere with your affairs, but you must always keep your promise to your grandfather in mind and use it to restrain your words and actions. Your grandfather and I only recognize you, not Xing Zhengyu."

“They have not been kind to me, so I will not be unjust,” Xing Yanzhao said. “I also ask Grandpa and Grandma to keep the promise we made to each other.”
