Pei Yunxi's parents press her about her "foreign boyfriend," Chen Jiang. Jiang Chen, the real culprit behind the lie, is pressured to make a video call to prove the boyfriend's existence. Instead of calling, Jiang Chen seizes the opportunity to confess his love for Pei Yunxi to her parents, claiming he was heartbroken when he thought she was dating someone else. His parents are touched, but Pei Yunxi is furious, calling him out for lying.

"You break up with that Chen guy immediately, do you hear me?!"

Li Wanrong wasn’t exactly harsh, but her tone was undeniable.

Whether her daughter was still with that Chen guy, or if this Chen guy even existed, she didn’t care.

Is the truth really that important?

What will always matter is the present.

The current feelings.

After giving orders to her daughter, Li Wanrong looked at Jiang Chen again, a true adept at playing both sides, her expression instantly softened, displaying her double standards to perfection, "Jiang, Auntie understands your intentions. Auntie is very touched. Honestly, the things you just said, Auntie has only heard them on TV before..."

"Pfft!"

Sudden laughter sounded at an inopportune moment.

The long-acquired professional poise of a certain diva seemed so feeble tonight.

"You little girl, still have the face to laugh!"

Unable to control it, she decided not to; this was home, at worst, she’d stop being Pei Yunxi and revert to being Pei Yunduo.

"Mom, you didn’t really believe his nonsense, did you?"

In fact, Jiang Chen was also curious whether Auntie was complimenting him or dissing him just now.

"I only saw his bravery. And you? You’re still hiding like a turtle!" Li Wanrong answered irrelevantly.

"How am I a turtle hiding?"

Pei Yunxi raised her swan neck, objecting indignantly.

"Ha."

Li Wanrong sneered, not continuing to criticize, not for lack of words, but to save some face for her daughter.

She is a woman.

And also a mother.

No matter what Jiang said, whether it was nonsense, her daughter’s feelings, could she not see them?

No need to argue about subjective assumptions.

The solid evidence lay right in front of her.

The two hands still "stuck" together could not fully explain the problem?

Although he’s the boss, this is Hui City, in their own home. She and Old Pei are both here. If her daughter really didn’t want to, if she wanted to rebel against the "unspoken rules," could she still lack the courage?

It’s clearly a common ailment among women.

Saying one thing and meaning another!

"Alright, what’s the point of arguing?"

Pei Linhan spoke in time, "Let young people handle their own affairs; you just said you aren’t an old-fashioned parent, yet you forcefully interfere?"

The red face and white face masks swapped back and forth on the couple’s faces.

"I refuse to believe that someone so close can’t compete with someone so far away. Isn’t that right, Jiang?"

Old Pei changed the direction of the conversation—definitely no pushover, fitting the role of an old artist.

As for the truth.

Getting old.

Couldn’t think straight anymore.

If it’s not clear, just let it be.

Regret past actions no more, and focus on what lies ahead.

Look forward.

"Uncle Pei, with those words of yours, I feel empowered."

No—

"How can you have such thick skin?"

Pei Yunxi openly said it, not as mockery, but as a heartfelt inquiry.

Even if she thought she was already familiar with it, yet each time, she would still be shocked.

Boss Jiang kept silent, quietly sipping coffee, giving off an aggrieved vibe.

Hmm.

The left hand remained still.

Using the right hand.

As a boss, being criticized by a subordinate like this, willingly, took it all in stride... Please, tell me, if it’s not because of love, what is it for?!

"Get a bath and go to sleep!"

Li Wanrong couldn’t take it anymore and stepped in.

"I won’t!"

Someone had completely thrown away his dignity, why would she care about her image?

This guy was going nuts; if he could spout nonsense while she was around, she didn’t dare imagine what nonsense he’d utter if she wasn’t.

"If he doesn’t leave, I won’t leave!"

"I’m telling you, he can’t leave tonight!"

Li Wanrong indeed had a youthful mindset, actually locking horns with her daughter, "Jiang, you’re staying here tonight, I want to see who dares to kick you out."

"Tidy up a room!"

Pei Linhan was caught in the crossfire and bore the brunt.

"Auntie, it’s no trouble. I’ll go stay at a hotel. I noticed earlier when delivering a package, there’s one nearby. It’s not far and quite convenient."

She knew it, she knew this would be the move!

Pei Yunduo unconsciously bit her silver tooth, her face turning even paler, white as snow, her skin so delicate it could burst with a touch.

Where was that coolly distant Moonlight Goddess aura?

No—

She distinctly was Pei Yunduo now.

"Are you not going to give Auntie this face?"

Almost forgot, despite his youth, he was unmistakably a capital magnate, personally coming over to deliver gifts.

Not just women, actually, with men too, it’s the same; don’t watch what he says, watch what he does.

Who said interviews needed three, four, or even five rounds? If possible, Li Wanrong would have decisively pressed the direct hire button.

"How about this, Auntie? I’ll come back tomorrow and bring some gifts."

Look at him.

Look at him, look at him.

From absurdity to anger, and now... Pei Yunduo was clearly a bit in despair.

So.

He was indeed better at dealing with older women.

"Look at how you phrase it~"

As expected, a simple sentence seemed to make Li Wanrong gleeful, though she didn’t care about etiquette, whether or not I accept gifts is one thing, whether or not you offer them is another.

This is a matter of attitude.

It’s also a form of respect.

"Auntie knows, today it’s too late, and didn’t you already bring that Nine Carp Painting? Can you find a more precious gift than this in Hui City?"

"Auntie, how did you know the Dragon Stone Type was from me to Yun Xi?"

Boss Jiang was surprised.

"..."

"..."

"..."

If you hadn’t mentioned, I really wouldn’t know.

"You...!"

Pei Yunduo suddenly stood up and shook off the hand that was taking advantage of her.

See.

It could be shaken off after all.

She was surely at her breaking point, but sensing her mother and father’s gaze, she simply vented her anger a bit.

"Go to sleep!"
