Bai Shan enters the door

  Xuan couldn't believe it, "Ask you?"

  Qiu Mingjun raised an eyebrow and let out a soft sigh, "I didn't get to wait for you to come ask me, it's a bit disappointing."

  Pei Jin Cheng was able to resolve the coastal land issue in such a short period of time, which was something Qiu Ming Jun had never anticipated. Coming from the capital city, he naturally had his advantages, especially in military and political affairs, having inherited them from his grandfather's line. In the south, he also had many old comrades-in-arms with whom he got along well.

  If he wants to get some information, it is also easy.

  Qiu's family not only has a deep red root, but also has a business one. In the past few years in G City, he also discovered the economic strength of the Pei family and had no intention of moving against the Pei family. However, this piece of land by the sea is very sensitive. If Shen Xuan hadn't suddenly appeared with an old husband to disrupt his hunting plan, he would have taken the opportunity to sell a favor to Shen Xuan.

  Xu Mingming knew very well that Qiu's family had a deep red background, but he deliberately didn't go to find him, and instead waited passively.

  Who would have thought that a beauty would come knocking on his door, Pei Jin Cheng had already taken down that piece of land.

  Beyond expectation.

  This made him have to reevaluate the Bae family, this powerful household that had no military or political power.

  This way, he also knew that Pei Jin Cheng was not a useless person.

  Even so, Shen Xuan's beautiful phoenix hair still made his heart itch.

  "Are you implying that I should be on guard against you from now on?"

  "Protect me?" Qiu Mingjun burst out laughing, "No need for that, I actually wanted to invite your husband to have a cup of tea together."

  "He hasn't been coming to the company recently."

  "Oh?" Qiu Mingjun raised an eyebrow and pretended not to know, "Is something wrong with your body?"

  "No, dealing with other things." Shen Xuan still hugged her own arms, she wanted to see what Qiu Mingjun meant by coming over here, and it didn't seem like there was a new project to discuss. Moreover, since the land on the coast hadn't changed, the matter had been handed over to the engineering department, so why did he come over again? Looking at his eyes, they seemed somewhat strange.

  "Didn't he go to D City to handle the mining land for the Shens?"

  Shen Xuan slightly furrowed her brow, and after returning that day, both Shen Kai and Pei Jin Cheng told her about the D City mine site. They claimed it was Pei Jin Cheng's, using the will of Old Master Shen from back then to justify it, and the transfer of shares had already been done.

  Wait until things calm down and then transfer it back later.

  It's best that no unnecessary incidents occur at this time when Shen Ke's foundation as mayor is not yet fully solidified, what I fear most is that there are still other factions vying for power, using the mine as a pretext.

  Qiu Mingjun asked, what does he want to do? "Mr. Qiu misunderstood, that mine was given to the Pei family as a dowry when I married into the Pei family years ago, and now it belongs to the main house of the Pei family."

  Qiu Mingjun smiled lazily and said, "Really?"

  Xuan's clear and cold eyebrows unfolded at the right time, and she said lightly, "Of course."

  Qiu Mingjun smiled and said "oh" in a low voice

  In G city, November, autumn is in full swing, but G city's autumn is only a few degrees lower than summer.

  The Pei family's main house had dinner gatherings at night, usually on big days or when there was something to announce or celebrate; otherwise, they wouldn't let people with social obligations push aside their work to attend the family dinner.

  The Pei family is busy making money at this time.

  But this meal, Shen Xuan ate very uncomfortably, yet had to pretend to be calm and composed.

  Bai Shan's gentle and polite demeanor, soft and obedient voice, formed a sharp contrast with her usual calm and indifferent appearance.

  In recent years, apart from Jin Yue and Bae Jin-seo, the people of Wu Tongyuan and the old man's side have been good to Shin Eun, while others have disliked her openly or secretly.

  If Shen Xuan had only suffered hardships in the Pei family, perhaps someone would have sympathized with her. But it was her parents-in-law who treated her poorly, while Old Master Pei always showed a magnanimous and generous attitude towards her, which made everyone in the house feel uncomfortable.

  The Pei family is a dignified and aristocratic mansion. The old master is like an emperor, and those who are overly favored will inevitably be envied by others.

  These past few years, everyone thought the future master of the house would change hands, and this jealousy wouldn't grow so wildly. After Pei Jin Cheng woke up, many people pointed the spearhead of their jealousy in their hearts towards Shen Xuan.

  For example, the second room with the most hope of taking over the position of the host.

  Wang Fengming thought that if it weren't for Shen Xuan taking care of Pei Jin Cheng like a babysitter these past few years, how could Pei Jin Cheng have possibly woken up?

  Her beautiful dream was shattered, Shen Xuan is 100% implicated and cannot escape.

  Bai Shan's arrival was just in time for her to vent the evil thoughts in her heart. Today, she happened to be sitting next to Bai Shan, and with a seemingly polite tone, she chatted with Bai Shan and Bai Liwei, but every word she said pierced Shen Xuan's most sensitive and vulnerable spot.

  Wang Fengming was born with a good appearance and liked to dress up. At this time, when she picked up the public chopsticks to pick vegetables for Bai Shuang, she was enthusiastic and polite, showing great refinement, making people feel good about her. Her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, and she smiled, "Shuangshuang, don't be so reserved, you'll be living here from now on, shouldn't you be more generous?"

  Bai Shan's complexion has been getting better and better recently, and she doesn't look as weak and haggard as before. The tip of her hair touches her shoulders, and her pale skin looks delicate and flawless. Her eyes are bright and clear. At this moment, she smiled graciously, "Thank you for reminding me, Second Madam. I'll remember it from now on."

  Bai Shan's smile was a bit dazzling, in Shen Xuan's impression, Bai Shan was always showing a self-deprecating expression, but now she looked like a lively and vibrant young girl.

  She smiled generously, without a hint of weakness, but suddenly she was taken aback, seeing that Bai Xue's smile had grown even wider as she smiled at him and Pei Jin Cheng.

  This smile shocked her, and Bai Shan's eyes and eyebrows all exuded a feeling called spiritual energy.

  This is the same as the people in the photos in Pei Jin Cheng's study.

  Put together.

  Her heart was suddenly twisted by something called a sense of crisis. Had she underestimated that simple woman who could die for a man?

  Although she had an outstanding appearance, Bai Shan's body seemed to have a great magical power at this time, which was completely different from the woman who looked like a piece of paper a few months ago.

  She suddenly remembered that when Pei Jin Cheng's leg was still in a cast, he had said that he would take her back to Haicheng for a short stay during the autumn season. At this moment, she really wanted to hold her husband's hand and say, "Jin Cheng, let's go back to Haicheng."

  She followed her gaze to look at her husband on her left, and his eyes also stayed on Bai Xue's smile at this moment.

  His heart tightened.

  On the other side, Wang Fengming glanced at Shen Xuan's face with his remaining light and turned back to say to Bai Shan with a pretended tone of blame, "What's with calling her Second Madam, just call her Second Mom along with Jin Cheng and Ah Xuan."

  Xue'er's eyes shone brightly as she smiled at Pei Li, who still had a smile on his face and hadn't responded yet. Bai Liwei, sitting next to Pei Li, suddenly let out an "ah" and seemed to be in a difficult position, saying, "But that won't do, Xue'er hasn't registered with Jin Cheng yet, it's not proper."

  Wang Fengming looked at the old master who still didn't respond, then glanced at the big brother and sister-in-law sitting on the other side of the old master, also not making a sound. Suddenly, he felt that being the spokesperson today was somewhat rash. Perhaps it was because the silence around the table had been too long, Pei Li's bright laughter rang out, "After all, one has to enter the door, no need to talk about those formalities."

  Her eyes sparkled with joy, which couldn't be hidden, and shone brightly along with her smile, "Thank you, Grandpa." She tilted her head and sweetly called out to Wang Fengming, "Second Mom."

  Xun pretended not to hear that, Wang Fengming looked at her and felt uncomfortable too, so she lowered her head and continued eating.

  Xu Xuan always thought that this period of time with Pei Jin Cheng was still harmonious, although quarrels were also common, but generally speaking, if they had a fight the day before, the two people would act as if nothing had happened the next day, get up, go to the main house for breakfast, and drive their own cars to work.

  What's the reason for the quarrel? There are all sorts of reasons.

  It's possible that his leg was on hers and made her uncomfortable, so she scolded him.

  It's also possible that she was playing games and couldn't hear him talking, so in a fit of anger he pressed the power button on her computer, and as soon as she stood up she wanted to fight with him.

  It's also possible that the two of them would go out for a midnight snack, drive out to eat, and not eat at home. After leaving Pei's house, they would have a big argument over what to eat, one wanting spicy food and the other wanting flavored snacks. They would argue so fiercely that they would stop the car by the side of the road to continue arguing, and in the end, they wouldn't even get to eat their midnight snack, instead returning home with a belly full of anger.

  But they basically made up the next day after their fight. She helped him squeeze toothpaste and he took her phone for her when he went out.

  At most, it's just a cold war and won't last more than two days.

  Bai Shan has come in now.

  She didn't want to say a word, although she had long expected her to move in, but the one who moved in was not a sickly person, it was Bai Shan from Pei Jin Cheng's study photo, how could she not be nervous?

  Qiao Yu is a boy that Shen Xuan likes very much. After the surgery, Grandpa announced that Qiao Ran was his nutritionist.

  Nor did she know if it was an illusion, but she saw disappointment in the eyes of some people in the house.

  Qiao Yu was originally sitting at the same table as Miss Weicheng and Master Xiaoye, which means he was sitting next to Jin Yue. Anyway, Jin Yue liked taking Qiao Yu around to play, so they sat together, and the two of them didn't mind that there was a big age gap between them, and they could still have fun together.

  At this time, Jin Yue lowered her head and whispered a few words in Qiao Yu's ear. Everyone's attention was focused on Bai Xue, and no one noticed the movement over there.

  It wasn't until Qiao Yu burrowed into Shen Xuan's arms that she came to her senses.

  Qiao Ran knew well that his family was very strict and serious, so he felt a bit tense. "Xiaobao, go back and sit properly."

  Pei Li smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiaobao likes Ah Xuan, so let him sit here. This child is lovely, I like watching him too."

  Qiao Yu touched Shen Xuan's face, his voice still with a childish tone, "Xuan Auntie, can you and Jin Cheng Uncle have a little sister for me to play with? This house is so boring without any other kids. If it's a little brother, I don't mind either, but of course, a little sister would be the best."

  The people at the table were stunned for a moment, then Pei Li was the first to laugh out loud, followed by everyone else's genuine or fake laughter. Pei Li looked at Qiao Yu's small face with doting and indulgence, "Little treasure, your Aunt Xuan and Uncle Jin Cheng must have another little brother before they can give you a little sister."

  Pei Jin Cheng glanced at Shen Xuan, saw Shen Xuan's embarrassment with a red face, couldn't help but laugh, and then looked at Pei Li, "Grandfather, your preference for boys over girls is too obvious, it's not good."

  Pei stood up straight and said, "What's this about favoring sons over daughters? I don't have any such bias. I say the first child is a son, then it's a son."

  Xuan Xin thought, they say no discrimination between boys and girls, but it's clear that they favor boys over girls, refusing to admit it.

  But this child is not something you can have just because you want one.

  She's not the kind of woman who wants to rely on her children to gain status, they're already living a life where they have small arguments every three days and big arguments every five days, why would they want kids? And now there's this Bai Xue.

  That table's Jin Yue was so anxious that he stomped his feet under the table, and the chopsticks in his hand were clamped tightly on the bamboo shoots in the bowl. This dead little treasure, told him to call Sheng Xiaodi, this kid will definitely be a little pervert in the future, just thinking about little sister, damn it!

  Bai Xue didn't seem to notice any change, she always had a faint smile on her face, and now looked at Pei Li, "Grandpa, that's not necessarily true, maybe Jin Cheng and Ah Xuan will have twins in their first pregnancy."

  Xuan is really unable to laugh now.

  Is Bai Shan being too generous? If it were her, she would never be able to reach this level.

  Bai Shan's small house is some distance away from Wu Tong Garden, and a river separates them, so they can't see each other even if they gaze into the distance.

  It's not that there is only one empty house here. The nearest empty house behind Wutong Garden, which was not given to Shen Xuan, chose a distant one for Bai Shan to live in.

  This matter, Pei Jin Cheng didn't ask about it.

  Bai Liwei didn't know the overall layout and occupancy rate of Pei's residence, so on his way to Bai Xuan's place, he sat in the electric car and kept sighing, "Xuanxuan, this is what a big household looks like, a real big household."

  Bai Xue nodded, she also knew that this was a big family, precisely because it was such a big door, Pei Jin Cheng would still be with her for over ten years, which moved her.

  Jasmine Garden

  Bai Xue thought, Pei Jin Cheng was still considerate, at least he knew she liked jasmine flowers.

  It's not that she particularly likes it, but Pei Jin Cheng often says she looks like a jasmine flower, so she likes it.

  She arrived at her residence in Mei Yuan and went up to the third floor. Only Bai Liwei and Ah Yue, who was packing things, were left in the building. Bai Liwei, a servant of the Pei family, told them to rest on their own, with an attitude that was considered polite, much better than how he treated his own servants at home.

  Bai Liwei stood with his palms on the windowsill of the third floor, looking down at the scenery illuminated by the night lights. The house was very quiet, and if one listened carefully, they could almost hear the sound of a big fish jumping out of the water in the river outside the house and then falling back into it. He let out a long sigh and said, "It's finally come." Turning his head, he looked at his daughter standing in front of another window, gazing far away. "Remember what your father says: don't think about competing with Shen Xuan for everything now. If you compete too much, Jin Cheng will dislike you. This is a common problem among men. Do you know that?"

  "I know, Dad." After several months of brainwashing and with the support of Pei Jin Cheng who had already woken up, Bai Shan was very cooperative with her psychological treatment. Once her mental struggles were resolved, her body slowly recovered, and many things became clear to her once they were mentioned.

  As long as Bai Jin Cheng is there, she is willing to stick with it.

  "Jin Cheng has been awake for so long, and Shen Xuan's belly hasn't gotten bigger. You should have noticed it tonight too. Old Master wants to hold his grandson, you must think of a way to give birth to a son. Your mother said she knows a Chinese medicine doctor who can help adjust your body constitution, and you'll definitely be able to give birth to a boy."

  Bai Shan nodded, "Mm, I'll listen to Dad."

  Bai Liwei only realized after entering the Pei household that his daughter had to establish herself in this mansion, and the Bai family had to become relatives with the Pei family. "As long as you get pregnant, Shen Xuan can only stamp her seal on the marriage contract for taking a concubine, and usually pay more attention to Jin Cheng, do you know? Wang Fengming said that those two are quarreling every day, you've always known Jin Cheng's temper, I'm afraid he's been furious for a long time. You must be like before, he will eventually appreciate your kindness."

  "I know." Bai Shan felt that her father was right, Pei Jin Cheng had been able to be with her for so long in the past, he must have liked her previous appearance and temperament. These years she had been too self-restrained, fortunately it's not too late now, looking in the mirror, she even feels confident.

  Pei Jin Cheng arrived at the courtyard to see Bai Shan, Bai Shan hurriedly ran downstairs, overjoyed. Bai Li Wei followed down and saw Pei Jin Cheng take Bai Shan's hand, so he tactfully said he should head back early and come visit Bai Shan again another time, also sending away Ah Yue.

  Pei Jin Cheng did not try to persuade him to stay.

  Bai Shan pulled on Jin Cheng's arm, "Jin Cheng, you've finally come to see me."

  Pei Jin Cheng patted the back of Bai Shan's hand, "You've moved in, I naturally have to come see you." He looked up and glanced around at the decoration in the small building, "Xiao Shan, are you still satisfied with this decorating style? We only changed the wallpaper, didn't dare paint, afraid it would be too much for someone who just moved in, not good for their health, and also worried about the smell. The furniture was replaced with some brighter colors."

  "Very satisfied, you always knew I like bright and light colors, this wallpaper with white background and light mint green leaves, I love it so much, thank you Jin Cheng, you're thoughtful."

  "Just like it, if there's anything you need, just tell Liu Ma about it. She's the elder in this house and takes care of everything with propriety. If something is lacking, she'll go to Sheng Shu's place to get it."

  "Not bad, it's already very good, just... there is a separate courtyard here, so big, but living in it feels very empty."

  Pei Jin Cheng pulled Bai Shan down onto the sofa and said slowly, "This small building isn't very big, there are still a few servants who need to live here, where would it be empty? If you feel bored, you can go find Er Ma and San Ma, or some of the other aunties to play mahjong with, take a stroll around the streets, pass the time, so as not to get bored."

  When a platinum unlimited credit card was placed in Bai Shan's palm, her palm felt a burning sensation and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw it. She had never spent his money before.

  She can't spend his money, the Bai family gives her a lot of pocket money, she's not short of money.

  Pei Jin Cheng grasped her hand, his eyes shining with amusement. "Take it, you're living in the Pei household now, so of course I'll be footing the bill. The other ladies in the house aren't stingy either, you should be more generous too, can't lose face for me, right?"

  Bai Shan suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, although they hadn't registered, but his tone implied that he had already considered her as one of his own people, so the significance of this card wasn't just about him spending money on her, was it?

  "Jin Cheng, I have brought some pocket money."

  "Living in the Pei's house, how can you still spend the Bai family's money? Aren't you afraid that people will gossip about you only knowing how to rely on your mother's family? And now that you've moved in, how can we let others say that you're relying on your mother's family? A person like this, I also can't show my face, right?"

  Bai Shan clenched her card tightly, feeling like tears were about to fall, but she endured and didn't cry. Daddy said that crying all the time was annoying.

  It was unprecedented for Pei Jin to consider her like this, he had always been very accommodating to her, and would accompany her to those small and cozy cafes she liked, but it was impossible for him to put his mind into thinking of where to take her on a date or what to plan for her.

  He will be annoyed by troubles and say he is very busy, he is a person who doesn't like to worry.

  But today she just moved in, he was very concerned about her, the color of the wallpaper, the tone of the furniture, were all light colors she liked, the overall decoration style of the Pei family was biased towards ancient, this place should be considered an exception.

  What is favoritism?

  He also arranged for her life in the house, fearing she would be bored.

  "Jin Cheng." Bai Shan pinched the card, her initial shyness already gone. She linked her arm with Pei Jin Cheng's and leaned in slightly, "When I wasn't part of the Pei family, you never came to see me..."

  Bai Jin Cheng patted Bai Shan's hand gently, his voice equally soft. "At that time, looking at you didn't bring any benefits, idle chatter, you an unmarried woman, me a married man, how unpleasant would it be if it got out?"

  Bai Shan's forehead rested on Pei Jin Cheng's shoulder, "Jin Cheng, thank you for always thinking of me. Now that you're living here, I'm so happy to see you and feel very fortunate."

  Pei Jin Cheng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he turned his wrist lightly on Bai Shan's hand. After glancing at the surface, he closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again, saying softly, "Little Shan, get some rest early today. Moving is exhausting. Tomorrow morning, I'll come to pick you up to have breakfast at the main house."

  Bai Shan's face lifted, a look of astonishment appearing on her face, "Jin Cheng, you...you..."

  "Are you... not living here today?" After finally stammering out this sentence, Bai Shan's cheeks flushed bright red, and her shoulder-length hair stuck to her face a bit, making her feel like her hair was covering her face like a quilt.

  Pei Jin Cheng smiled and comforted, "I've been too tired lately, the injuries on my body last time were quite severe, it's easy to get fatigued, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

  Bai Xue seemed to understand Pei Jin Cheng's meaning, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush even redder. She spoke in a warm and coquettish tone, "Jin Cheng, then you sleep on this side too, I won't disturb your rest, okay?"

  60,000 words, two updates completed, see you tomorrow. Asking for monthly tickets from individual accounts, nail households please keep until the 28th, byebye.
