The air seemed to have frozen.

In the end, it was still Xu Mingzhi who was calm. “Divorce is a lot of trouble. If you need help, please contact me at any time. I have experience in this area.”

Her tone was normal, without any surprise or sympathy. It was as if she was having a normal conversation with an old friend, which made them feel very comfortable.

“I’ve basically settled everything,” Du Meilan smiled.

Wen Man was trying to digest the news.

They were perfect to be in-laws! Look at how calm her Xu Mingzhi was.

Du Meilan patted Xu MingHi’s hand. “I hope that you will not let this matter affect your opinion of my son.”

Xu Mingzhi replied, “I was divorced too. Why would I mind such a thing?”

Du Meilan nodded.

Xu Mingzhi rang the bell to call for the waiter and then ordered three more bottles of champagne.

Meanwhile, Pei Xi and Pei Song had also heard the news of their parents’ divorce.

However, Pei Qingshen didn’t know about it. The siblings took the opportunity when he was at the Lute Association to discuss this matter.

Pei Xi hugged a pillow and leaned on Pei Song. “It’s not like they’ve only been together for a day or two. Why did they divorce so suddenly?”

“Who knows,” Pei Song bent down and smoked. He was smoking the cigarette that Su Ji gave him. It was black truffle-flavored and very exotic. However, she said that the price of this flavor was double of the other flavors.

The two of them were silent for a few seconds. Pei Song’s gaze fell on Pei Xi. “I heard from Pei Huai that the Pei Corporation’s shares are split 80-20 between mom and dad.”

Pei Xi: “…”

Pei Song continued, “and dad agreed.”

Pei Xi: “…”

The reason for the divorce was clear.

The sound of the car driving into the courtyard was getting closer and closer. The siblings didn’t notice and were still chatting.

Then, the sound of the door being unlocked rang out, and the siblings stopped talking at the same time and looked towards the entrance.

Pei Huai’s figure came into view.

The siblings heaved a sigh of relief.

Pei Xi patted her chest. “You scared me. We thought that grandpa had returned.”

Pei Song stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up with his hands in his pocket. “I’ll get some medicine for grandpa to lower his blood pressure. He talks about our parents every day. If he knew that they were divorced, he would definitely be angry.”

“Yeah, go do that,” Pei Xi urged him and then looked at Pei Huai. “Be ready at all times. If grandpa really gets sick from anger, you and Su Ji will have to get married to ease the situation.”

Pei Huai smiled emotionlessly. He took off his gloves and folded them on the table.

Before he could speak, his phone vibrated.

He put the phone to his ear and didn’t say anything.

He hung up after a while and walked to the study.

Pei Shizhan had been in the study the entire day. He signed a few contracts and ordered a few New Year gifts to be sent to the Xu family.

However, when Pei Huai entered the study, there was no contract in his hand. There was only a phone.

He seemed to be browsing the news.

Seeing Pei Huai enter, he had a warm smile on his face and spoke in a tone that sounded like he was negotiating. “When do you plan to announce the matter between me and your mother?”

Pei Huai stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Wait a little longer.”

“No one’s rushing me. I’m just asking for your opinion,” Pei Shizhan replied calmly.

“In that case,” Pei Huai raised his eyebrows, “there’s no conflict of opinion.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Pei Shizhan called out to him.

“You’re worried that Su Ji will mind?” Pei Shizhan was very objective. “Her mother is also divorced. She’s very sensible and won’t mind.”

Pei Huai’s back was facing him. He frowned and said coldly, “her mother is indeed divorced, so she wouldn’t want to find a family with the same history.”

Pei Shizhan said, “son, from the beginning, there was only kinship between your mother and me. There was no love…”

“Having three children without feelings? That’s pretty impressive,” Pei Huai retorted instantly.

Pei Shizhan, on the other hand, felt that his son was more talkative this time around. He was not like how he used to keep everything in his heart. He wondered if it was because of Su Ji.

That was good.

“Alright,” Pei Shizhan lowered his eyes. “I’ll announce it to the public when you are ready.”

Pei Huai walked away and opened the door of the study, only to see a figure quickly moving to the next room.

However, Pei Huai grabbed her arm. Su Ji turned around and smiled at him, “what a coincidence.”

Pei Huai didn’t know when she had arrived, and his eyes were smiling, “what a coincidence? This is my house.”

“When did you arrive?”

“A few minutes ago,” Su Ji said. “My mom and your mom went drinking again. It’s boring for me to be at home alone.”

In fact, Xu Mingzhi was the one who asked her to come, and she even asked her to go to the Pei family more often.

Pei Huai glanced at the door behind him, which was left open, and led her into the lounge. With a click, the door closed behind him.

...

He studied her for two seconds, and realized that his mother must have told the truth.

“You know about my parents’ divorce.”

Su Ji replied, “ah, I accidentally heard it at the door just now.”

Pei Huai replied, “I didn’t mention the divorce at all just now. It was my mother who told your mother.”

Su Ji shrugged her shoulders, “yes.”

Pei Huai said, “that’s why your mother is worried about me and asked you to come check on me?”

Su Ji smiled, “my boyfriend is so smart.”

Pei Huai put his hands in his pockets and leaned back on the sofa. He looked at her and chuckled, “then I have to thank my mother. Only she could convince Madam Xu to let you come.”

Du Meilan knew what he was thinking and what he was worried about.

Hence, her main purpose of meeting Xu Mingzhi and Wen Man today was to talk about their divorce.

Her heart still ached for Pei Shizhan.

...

She had helped him solve his biggest problem before they parted ways.

Su Ji looked at Pei Huai, trying to guess what he was thinking.

She heard from Madam Du that Pei Huai had been handling a lot of the matters regarding their divorce.

The husband and wife’s overseas business had long been intertwined. It was difficult to separate them, and they had to ensure that it did not affect the Pei Corporation’s stock price.

Pei Huai had done all these troublesome things cleanly.

However, he had never said a word or revealed any emotions. Every time he appeared in front of Su Ji, he was at ease, as if nothing had happened.

Su Ji walked in front of him.

“You’re treating me as an outsider?”

Pei Huai didn’t take the opportunity to hug her. He looked at her and said, “it was an affair. I’m afraid that you’ll have an opinion of me because of my father.”

Su Ji snorted, “does your dad also have a pair of twins?”

Pei Huai laughed, “not now, but it’s hard to say in the future.”

“You have a douchebag father, and so do I,” Su Ji put her arms around his neck and said slowly, “we are a good match.
