Lin Man nodded. She was exhausted and just wanted to rest. Besides, Pei Yan didn't need this little money, and she wouldn't enjoy spending it, so she was too lazy to buy anything.

"Then I'll go back."

Pei Yan told He Sheng to drive the car directly to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. Lin Man was tired after a day's work, so she closed her eyes and rested as soon as she got in the car. Pei Yan was not a talkative person either, so there was silence in the car.

After the car slowly drove into Pei Garden, Lin Man was awakened by the heavy sound of a car door closing. There was no one on her left side. Pei Yan got out of the car first, leaving He Sheng standing at the car window, wanting to call her but not daring to.

Lin Man glanced at him calmly, wiped the corner of her mouth, pushed the door and got out of the car.

It started to drizzle, and He Sheng took the umbrella from the Rolls-Royce from the door and held it up for Lin Man.

She was very sleepy and almost bumped into the door in a daze. As soon as she entered, she was almost hit on the head by a cup thrown at her.

Lin Man looked at the debris under his feet and touched his chest. It was a close call. He almost had to go to the hospital again!

Pei's mother was furious on the phone in the living room!

"It's outrageous that the company's employees don't even know the boss's wife. Go right now! Call a shareholders' meeting for me. I have something to announce."

"What do you mean tomorrow? Pei Zhenting, let me tell you, this is the company you built! The top beam is not straight, and the bottom beam is crooked. Anyone can get in at will. It's a waste of your eyes! Don't make me repeat it a second time. If you don't handle this matter well, I will never forgive you!"

Pei's mother slammed the phone down, and the old-fashioned classic phone was almost broken in half.

Lin Man was startled and quickly leaned behind Pei Yan, hoping that he would hold up the sky if it fell, and then she ran away.

Pei Yan looked at the angry mother Pei and didn't understand what was going on. He waved his hand and a servant came trotting over.

"What's going on?" Pei Yan asked in a deep voice.

The servant also looked nervous. It was the first time he saw Mother Pei so angry.

"This... Master, I don't know what happened to the old lady. It's just that before lunch, the old lady received a phone call and was very angry. It sounded... It was about Madam's matter."

Pei Yan frowned slightly. Lin Man leaned out and pointed at himself with a puzzled look.

Her business? She doesn't even know what her business is?

Was it her who sped up all the watches Pei Yan kept in the study?

Or was it about the time she cut a small hole in Pei Yan's pants last month?

Lin Man's body was a little stiff.

He Sheng stood at the back with an unnatural look on his face. Ever since he met his wife, his heart has been beating so fast and his palms were sticky with sweat.

He Sheng took a step forward, walked to Pei Yan's side, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Boss Pei, my wife came to bring you chicken soup today, but was stopped by the company's front desk. She waited downstairs for more than two hours, and finally it was Boss Ji who came out to help."

After hearing what He Sheng said, Pei Yan's dark eyes were filled with obscure emotions. He changed his shoes, ordered the servants to clean the floor, loosened the tie around his neck, and a hint of fatigue surged between his brows.

"Okay, Mom. The shareholders' meeting will not be held until tomorrow. Go and rest first. I'll take care of it."

When Pei's mother heard the voice, she turned around and saw a group of people at the door. When she saw Pei Yan, she became even more furious and didn't buy into what her son said at all.

"You handle it! If you can handle it well, my Manman won't suffer so much injustice."

"Husband and wife are one. What! Your wife was stopped at the door by her own employees. How can you, as a husband, feel proud?"

Pei's mother was very angry and didn't buy into what Pei Yan said at all. Facing Pei's mother's accusations, Pei Yan did not refute. He just picked up a cigarette and sat on the sofa quietly listening, like a parent scolding a child, which made people feel quite funny.

After listening for so long, Lin Man roughly figured out what was going on. She slowly walked out from the corner, took Pei's mother's hand and said affectionately: "Mom, this is actually an accident. Don't blame Ah Yan. The front desk has just arrived, so it's normal that they don't know me. Everyone else is in a meeting, so they can't verify my identity and can't let me in."

Lin Man had no good feelings towards anyone from the Pei Group, not to mention that they had made her wait for two hours. She had nothing good to say about them, but Pei's mother was old and couldn't get angry over her affairs.

Lin Man coaxed Pei's mother and said with a smile: "The Pei Group is a big tree that attracts the wind. There is no telling how many enemies and foes it has on a daily basis. It should act strictly according to the rules like today. Otherwise, I will not be at ease when Ah Yan is working overtime alone in the company."

Lin Man was so moved by what she said. Pei Yan's life or death had nothing to do with her, but Pei's mother was old and usually went to bed early at this time. Elderly people needed to relax, especially not stay up late. Lin Man wanted to coax Pei's mother to rest as soon as possible so that she could go upstairs.

Although Pei's mother is old, she has sharp ears and sharp eyes.

She patted Lin Man's hand meaningfully, squinted her eyes and smiled, "You are always good at changing the subject. You don't even need to draft your words to coax me, an old woman. How can you talk about the front desk? You are the mistress of Pei's and A Yan's wife. It's not okay for the employees of your own company to not know you. I have asked your father-in-law to notify everyone that there will be a shareholders' meeting tomorrow. You and mom will go to the company together."

Pei Yan sat aside, stroking the watch on his wrist, with an indifferent expression. He listened but had no reaction, as if he had acquiesced to Pei's mother's behavior.

Lin Man was shocked when she heard this. Pei's mother's husband, Pei Zhenting, held an important position in Hai City and seldom came home on weekdays. But despite this, the couple had been very good friends for decades. This was also the first time that Lin Man's mother got angry with her father-in-law.

Lin Man felt an unknown sour feeling in her heart, and she didn't know why she felt so strange.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mother Pei nodded with satisfaction. After Lin Man persuaded her a few more times, she called the servant to help her go back to her room to rest.

After Pei's mother left, Lin Man breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs by herself without even looking at Pei Yan who was looking at her with a deep gaze.

After a busy day, she was exhausted and just wanted to take a quick shower and lie down in bed to rest.

Lin Man changed her clothes and was wrapped in only a bath towel.

As soon as she opened the door, she was startled! Pei Yan was leaning against the wall, his dark eyes staring at her steadily, his face expressionless, but the deep meaning in his eyes was hard to fathom.

Lin Man rolled her eyes at Pei Yan in annoyance and said, "Boss Pei, could you please make some noise when you walk next time?"

She tightened the towel around herself. Is this man a ghost?

Pei Yan's eyes fell on Lin Man, as if he was in deep thought, as if recalling something, his hands around his chest tapping on his strong and firm forearms.

He stared at Lin Man with his dark and deep eyes, and slowly said, "Why don't you say it?"

"what?"

"Why didn't you tell me about being stopped downstairs at the company?"
