Chapter 1107: A Tough Man Apologizes! (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Unlike the standard winter climate in A City, it was obviously much warmer there.

The photo was taken by Madam Xie and her old friends from the housekeeping company.

Everyone was wearing the same style but different colors of sunhats. Frangipani was pinned to their ears. Behind them were the waves, and above their heads was the sun. The friends were smiling brightly, as if they had returned to their teenage years.

Madam Xie was finally willing to spend some money on herself.

They made several classic poses, such as “Thousand-handed Guanyin”, “Human pyramid”, “Right hand pointing to the moon”…

Then, the formation was arranged according to the rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple sun hats.

“She’s having more fun than us,” Cao Zhuzhu said with a smile.

Pei Song looked at every photo carefully and finally concluded, “my mother-in-law is the most beautiful.”

He proudly showed the phone to Bill, who pointed at the screen and recognized Cao Zhuzhu’s mother at a glance.

The most beautiful one.

Su Ji tapped her fingers on the table.

This was her second New Year’s Eve.

On the first New Year’s Eve, Pei Huai was sitting beside her. This year, he was still around, and she was pregnant.

Pei Huai changed into a pink shirt, and Su Ji took a few more glances at him.

She had never seen it before. It was prepared for New Year’s Eve.

Pei Huai felt that it was too depressing for him to wear black.

“You don’t like it?” He asked Su Ji.

“No.” Su Ji shook her head. “I like it.”

Then he added, “It’s very casual.”

Pei Huai raised his eyebrows.

At eight o’clock sharp, dinner began. Pei Qingshen mentioned a poem, and Su Ji carefully listened to it. The structure was compact and the rhyme was neat and not cliché. It was not bad.

“Pei Huai.” Pei Qingshen looked over. “Please comment on my poem.”

Pei Huai’s expression relaxed and he said indifferently, “the structure was compact and the rhyme was neat and not cliché. It was not bad.”

Su Ji turned to look at him.

Pei Huai noticed her gaze. “Why?”

Su Ji did not say anything.

She suspected that he could hear what she was thinking!

It was just past eight when Pei Huai’s phone vibrated on the table.

He picked it up and looked at the content of the message. His gaze paused for a few seconds.

Then, he looked at his wife. After a moment of silence, he looked back at his phone.

Su Ji asked him what was wrong.

Pei Huai said, “did Su Cunyi make you angry?”

Usually, he called him father-in-law, but now he called him by his full name.

“Don’t mention him.” Su Ji’s eyes were cold. “Annoying.”

Pei Huai replied, “alright.”

If his wife did not want to mention it, then he would not mention it.

The atmosphere of the banquet was lively. The servants were all waiting in the room, so no one noticed the Maybach parked outside the courtyard.

The man in the driver’s seat got out of the car and stared at the brightly lit window.

Later, Pei Huai’s phone rang a few more times, but he did not even look at it again.

He focused on serving his wife.

At 8:15, Xu Mingzhi’s phone rang.

Xu Mingzhi picked up the phone and retorted rudely.

Su Cunyi froze. “I know. Don’t hang up yet. I’ve thought about it. It was my fault today. You know me. I’m not a father who favors sons over daughters. I was only continuing the tradition of the Su family in the past, but it was indeed my fault. I wanted to apologize to my daughter…”

“No.” Xu Mingzhi interrupted him halfway. “You’re here? You came to the Pei family?”

Du Meilan and Wang Yi looked at each other and stopped talking.

Du Meilan was about to ask the housekeeper to invite him in, but Xu Mingzhi pulled her wrist and let her sit down.

Su Ji asked Pei Huai, “you know about it too?”

Pei Huai nodded. When he received the message fifteen minutes ago, Su Cunyi had already arrived and said that he wanted to apologize to his wife.

“I didn’t say anything since you didn’t want to mention it.”

Su Ji:

Xu Mingzhi lowered her voice and asked, “what exactly do you want?”

Su Cunyi said, “don’t misunderstand. I’m really here to apologize to Su Ji!”

“As for the matter of worshipping the ancestors, if you don’t want to, then pretend that I didn’t say anything. If you think it’s okay, now is an auspicious time. It’s not too late.”

Xu Mingzhi was so angry that she laughed. “Su Cunyi, don’t tell me you came here drunk. It’s already 8:15 pm. Baby will need at least half an hour to go back with you.”

“Besides,” she continued, “her exact words were, the Su family’s ancestors didn’t bless her. It’s impossible for her to go back and worship unless they come themselves.’”

If that was the case, Su Cunyi would definitely give up.

However, the next second, she heard Su Cunyi’s relaxed tone as if he had gotten the question right. “That’s just right! I brought the ancestral tablet!”
