Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

311 The Pei Family’s Mystery

The earlier they went, the more she could get to know Pei Hua’s parents.

Su Ji helped Xu Mingzhi put all the gifts she prepared into the car, and the two of them got in.

On New Year’s Eve, there was no traffic.

As soon as they drove into the Pei family’s house, the butler came out to welcome them.

He pointed out the parking spots for them with a smile. Seeing that Xu Mingzhi had brought a lot of gifts, he quickly called two servants out to help carry the things.

Along the way, they politely greeted each other and led them to the main gate.

Just as he was about to open the door for them, the door opened from the inside with a click.

Su Ji looked over, but the person she saw was not a servant. A tall shadow covered her shoulders, blocking the light from the other side of the entrance. Su Ji raised her head and looked into the person’s eyes.

The middle-aged man was tall. He had an aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He looked calm and unfathomable. If Nicha Sonpashan had a father, then the person in front of him would be the most suitable person to play the role.

A few seconds later, they recognized each other.

“Nice to meet you, Su Ji and Madam Xu,” Pei Shizhan’s lips curved into a gentle smile. “Please come in.”

“Happy New Year, Mr. Pei,” Xu Mingzhi was not intimidated at all.

This was the first time the two of them had met, and their handshake was very business-like.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at the phone in his hand. “Mr. Pei, are you coming out to answer the phone?”

Pei Shizhan hung up without a change in his expression, “please come in first.”

“Is Su Ji here?” Du Meilan heard the voice and came over. When she saw Su Ji, her eyes were filled with surprise. Then, she quickly noticed Xu Mingzhi, “CEO Xu, I’ve been in Continent M for a few years. I’ve often seen your interview in the financial weekly!”

“Nice to meet you,” Xu Mingzhi said. “You were in the top 50 Most Influential Women for five years.”

Du Meilan was wearing a shawl today, which made her look even more elegant.

She was very comfortable around Xu Mingzhi. She held her hand and pulled her in. As they walked, she said warmly, “call me Meilan.”

When Xu Mingzhi was being pulled away, she turned to look at Su Ji. The mother and daughter communicated with their eyes, “Pei Huai’s mother looked really young!”

Pei Shizhan entered the house with them and closed the door behind Su Ji.

In the living room, Pei Xi, Bill, Pei Song, Pei Xingxing, and Pei Qingshen were all there. It was very lively.

They were all familiar with Su Ji, but this was the first time they saw Xu Mingzhi.

When Pei Huai came out of the study and saw Su Ji, his mood was visibly better.

He touched Su Ji’s head, put one hand in his pocket, and pulled Su Ji into his arms with the other. At the same time, he introduced Xu Mingzhi to his family.

He did not take Su Ji’s warning to heart at all.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at the two of them, but she paid more attention to Pei Huai’s parents.

Behind Pei Huai, Du Meilan nodded at Pei Shizhan.

The couple laughed as if they were teasing their son.

Su Ji pushed Pei Huai away. When she turned her head, she saw the couple smiling.

From what Pei Huai had said, Du Meilan and Pei Shizhan didn’t seem to have a good relationship. When Pei Huai was three years old, Du Meilan destroyed the master who asked her to marry a man with the surname Pei. This showed that they must not have a good relationship.

However, looking at it now, it did not seem like their relationship was bad.

What a mystery.

Pei Huai was the noble third young master of the Pei family, but he was not idle today.

He prepared the tea for Xu Mingzhi, tested the temperature of the tea, and adjusted the temperature of the room.

Pei Xi was dumbfounded, “when will I get to enjoy such treatment?”

Pei Huai took the remote control and changed the channel for Xu Mingzhi. He answered directly, “when you have Su Ji’s household registration booklet.”

Everyone in the room laughed when they heard this. Pei Song laughed the most frivolously.

Du Meilan chatted with Xu Mingzhi. Both of them were strong, independent women and they had a lot in common. They even used some technical terms in a foreign language that even Bill could not understand, but they had no problems in their communication.

Du Meilan did not forget to help her son win over his future mother-in-law’s heart. “Not only do we have something in common, but our children too. They are of the same height and appearance. They both like medicine. My son likes planting lychees, and your baby likes to eat lychees…”

Xu Mingzhi smiled, “Pei Huai is a good kid. I’ve been watching him for half a year and I can’t find any faults with him.”

The more they chatted, the more Du Meilan liked Xu Mingzhi.

If she could see how Xu Mingzhi kicked Su Cunyi, she would like her even more.

Pei Shizhan was reading the newspaper at the side and rarely joined in the conversation.

Su Ji could see his status in the Pei family. Pei Xi and Pei Song were both in their thirties, but they were obviously more obedient in front of him. Pei Song even smoked less.

However, Pei Huai was an exception and seemed to be able to block out Pei Shizhan’s aura.

Pei Xingxing’s small feet stepped on the sofa, one hand holding Su Ji, the other feeding her grapes.

After being fed for a while, Su Ji carried him to her side and sat him down, “alright, I’m stuffed.”

Pei Xingxing covered his mouth and giggled.

As he laughed, he was attracted by what’s on TV.

A few groups of celebrities’ families were being interviewed.

There was a child who was about two or three years old. He was sitting on the lap of his beautiful celebrity mother and was jumping around happily.

It was Kou Tang and Wang Xingkai’s family.

The child’s mother was also a celebrity, so why could they appear together on TV?

...

The corners of Pei Xingxing’s mouth drooped. His soft little face looked cold, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Su Ji understood what was going on at a glance and snapped her fingers at Pei Song, who was sitting on the sofa next to her.

Pei Song followed his gaze. After looking at him for two seconds, he bent down to rub his son’s head, “if you want a mother, I’ll find you a stepmother.”

Pei Qingshen’s ears perked up.

Pei Xingxing’s eyes narrowed.

Pei Song gave an evil smile, “it’s true, I’ll marry whoever you like.”

Pei Xingxing’s brows relaxed when he heard this, “really?”

Pei Song said, “yes.”

Pei Xingxing began to seriously think that other than his mother, he could only accept one other woman as his stepmother.

After thinking about it, she pointed at Su Ji with determination, “I like Ms. Su Ji!”

“Then I’ll…” Pei Song knocked his son’s head, “…give you to your uncle. Maybe you can be his son in the future.”

...

Pei Huai said indifferently, “this logic is correct, but I don’t want that.”

Pei Qingshen turned to look at Pei Song. He asked seriously, “really?”

Pei Song did not say anything. He continued watching TV on his knees.

Pei Qingshen took it as a silent agreement. “I will be really happy if that’s true, why don’t…”

He probed, “…I introduce someone to you?”

Pei Song’s gaze was fixed on the television.

After a full minute, he said, “whatever.”
