Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

"Wenyan, who exactly is this CEO Bai? I think she's quite familiar with CEO Lu."

"Hmph, just a money-grubbing woman. Didn't you see she was willing to cook meat for us just for money?"

Pei Wenyan stared fiercely at Bai Zhenzhu's back, wishing she could stare a hole through it.

She tried her best to throw herself at Lu Kai several times but failed. Why is Bai Zhenzhu able to chat and laugh with him so easily?

Another girl frowned as she watched Pei Wenyan grit her teeth:

"Boss Bai cooked meat for us, which shows that the service at this restaurant is good. I ate here once with my brother before, and the food and service were both excellent."

"Wenyan, do you have a grudge against Boss Bai?"

Pei Wenyan's expression stiffened:

"No, I just can't stand her."

"She can't wait to pounce on any man she sees; no wonder she got divorced."

The two girls exchanged a glance but neither of them said anything.

They met Pei Wenyan at the dance hall, and weren't familiar with her at first, but they didn't expect her to be so sarcastic.

Pei Wenyan, however, did not notice the expressions of the two people and kept her eyes fixed on Lu Kai and Bai Zhenzhu.

They had already finished eating, and the two girls, seeing that it was getting late, wanted to pay the bill and leave.

Seeing that Pei Wenyan had no intention of leaving, the two girls had no choice but to call the waiter to pay the bill.

They paid for themselves and left.

Pei Wenyan didn't mind and didn't leave immediately after paying.

She waited until Lu Kai paid the bill and left before grabbing her bag and quickly chasing after him.

When Bai Zhenzhu returned after receiving a phone call, Liu Fang gestured for her to look outside.

Pei Wenyan got into a fight.

That girl was the one who had been sitting in Lu Kai's car earlier; the two of them were pulling each other's hair and fighting fiercely.

Lu Kai leaned against the car door, a cigarette between his fingers.

Only then did Bai Zhenzhu realize that Lu Kai actually smoked; she had never seen him smoke before.

After Lu Kai finished his cigarette, the two girls were still blaming and insulting each other.

Lu Kai probably lost his patience, got into the car, and drove off.

The main character left, and the two girls saw no need to continue fighting, so they each got into their cars and left.

Liu Fang was stunned:

"What's the deal with Pei Wenyan?"

White Pearl shook her head:

"It has nothing to do with us. If she comes again and causes trouble, just kick her out."

Pei Wenyan didn't tell anyone about her relationship with Lu Kai's father, but Lu Kai probably knew, right?

The next day, Huo Zheng called and invited Bai Zhenzhu and Shuo Shuo to his house for dinner on the weekend.

White Pearl was puzzled:

Why are you suddenly inviting me to your house for dinner?

Huo Zheng smiled and said:

"My dad is finally back."

Bai Zhenzhu understood:

"Okay, I'll head over earlier this afternoon."

Huo Zheng hurriedly instructed her:

"My parents said not to bring anything."

Although her elders told her not to bring anything, how could Bai Zhenzhu possibly go empty-handed?

However, he didn't mention anything expensive, just braised meat and fruit.

Huo Zheng originally planned to rest on Sunday, but he was busy with work. He went to the company in the morning and didn't return until after 2 p.m.

The first question I asked upon entering was:

"Has Little White arrived yet?"

Qi Yunzhu was holding a bunch of flowers:

"You've finally decided to come back? Why didn't you just wait until tonight to come back?"

Huo Zhensheng came out of the room and straightened his collar:

"Alright, I'm back now, aren't I?"

"Son, what do you think of your old man's outfit? It's not very serious, is it?"

Huo Zhensheng pulled out the overcoat that Huo Zheng had bought for him last year, along with the knitted sweater underneath.

It's not serious, but it would seem too formal at home.

"There's no need for such formality," Huo Zheng said with a smile. "Xiao Bai and Shuo Shuo are not outsiders. They will feel uncomfortable if you make them too formal."

Huo Zhensheng nodded:

"Makes sense."

She turned around and went back to change her clothes.

Qi Yunzhu shook her head:

"This is the fourth time, it's been changed three times already."

Huo Zheng: "..."

He looked at his jacket and went upstairs.

They came down in a little while.

She wore a shirt over a knitted vest on top and jeans on the bottom, looking much more stylish than usual.

Huo Zhensheng had also changed his clothes. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and glanced at them.

"Aren't you cold?"

Huo Zheng: "It's not cold."

Huo Zhensheng was wearing a shirt and sweater, but he also wore a worn-out Zhongshan suit over it.

It does look much more homely.

Seeing the fruit on the table, Huo Zheng rolled up his sleeves, washed the fruit, and then put it on the fruit plate prepared by Qi Yunzhu.

Huo Zhensheng stood in the living room with his hands behind his back and asked:

"What can I do?"

Qi Yunzhu snorted:

"Just don't block the way."

She took out some snacks, melon seeds, and candies from the cupboard, filled several plates, and almost completely covered the coffee table.

It looks even more grand than the Lunar New Year.

A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen; the nanny had brought out all her signature dishes.

Huo Zhensheng still had some regrets:

"It's a pity that Xiaobai's mother went back. We should have treated the Bai family to a proper meal."

Qi Yunzhu was annoyed when she saw the man surnamed Huo:

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

"One or two, old or young, what can I expect you to do?"

"One of them doesn't care about anything, and the other keeps things to himself. If it weren't for my sharp eyes, this brat would still be hiding things from us."

Huo Zhensheng pointed seriously at Huo Zheng:

"This is outrageous, utterly disorganized and undisciplined. Don't you know what our status is in this family? How dare you keep it from your mother?"

"Look, I've been scolded again, and it's affecting our relationship."

Huo Zheng remained expressionless.

"Everyone gets their share of the blame; yours has nothing to do with me."

Just then, a knock came at the door.

Qi Yunzhu changed her expression like a mask:

"Oh dear, Xiaobai and Shuoshuo are here."

He ran happily to open the door.

Huo Zhensheng immediately put on a smiling expression and even showed it to Huo Zheng:

"Do I look scary? Don't frighten the child."

Huo Zheng: "It's not scary, but it's creepy. Just smile. You're not my uncle, so don't exaggerate."

Zhong Ting's biological father was known in the compound as strict and fierce, and he spoke in a loud voice.

Many children in the courtyard were frightened to tears by him.

Huo Zhensheng was also afraid that if he was too serious, he might scare Shuo Shuo.

Huo Zhensheng, who had met Shuo Shuo before and was usually fearless in the face of thousands of troops, suddenly felt a little nervous.

The door opened, and Shuo Shuo came in first, greeting the elders as he did so.

"Hello Grandma Qi, hello Grandpa Huo, hello Uncle Huo."

Qi Yunzhu smiled so hard her eyes narrowed, and all that could be heard was the word "Grandma".

"Oh, good, good child, come in quickly, no need to change your shoes."

As he spoke, he put his arm around Shuo Shuo and led him into the house.

Huo Zheng, being very perceptive, went up to her and took the fruit and braised meat from Bai Zhenzhu's hands.

“Aunt Qi, Uncle Huo.”

Huo Zhensheng pointed to the sofa:

"Come in and sit down."

Qi Yunzhu also said:

"It's windy today, is it quite cold?"

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"It's not cold, I drove here."

The mother and son were settled on the sofa, and Qi Yunzhu greeted them warmly:

"Shuo Shuo eats candy, cookies, and apples..."

Shuo Shuo smiled and said:

"Grandma Qi, I can't carry any more."

He's started losing his baby teeth, and when he opens his mouth, you can see that one of his front teeth is missing.

Qi Yunzhu smiled and said:

"Oh my, my grandson is losing his baby teeth! Not bad, not bad. Once he finishes losing all his teeth, he'll be a little boy."
