The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

The only people you can hurt are the people who really care about you.

Shen Mingzhu felt that this sentence was very suitable for her and Pei Yang at the moment.

In fact, after meeting Dai Mingfang in the morning, she had calmed down a lot.

Let Cui Lianying buy groceries and come home from get off work early to make dinner, all of which are to show kindness to men and give each other a step up.

She felt disconnected.

She clearly wanted to reconcile in her heart, but the words she spoke were like a double-edged sword, hurting the man as well as herself.

These years of smooth sailing have made her overly confident.

So much so that when there is a slight flaw or problem in a marriage, it can break down uncontrollably.

Although she tried her best to downplay it, looking at Dai Mingfang's young, delicate and flower-like face, she was actually frightened.

She can defeat Dai Mingfang effortlessly now, but what about ten years from now?
She will get older day by day, her beauty will disappear, and her beauty will fade with age, but there will always be girls as young as flowers in their twenties, springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

She felt disheartened when she thought that she might be stuck in marriage and family in the future, competing with women who appeared out of nowhere, and trying her best to repel her love rivals.

But there was another voice in her heart telling her: Don't internalize yourself, everything you say now is irrational and unclear.

"Let's each calm down."

Pei Yang grabbed her hand to untie her apron and said, "I'm very calm now. Let's talk clearly about anything we have to say today."

Shen Mingzhu looked at him, "But I'm not calm. I can't communicate with you calmly."

"Okay, how long do you want to calm down?"

"I don't know. You can make dinner. I'm not in the mood."

Pei Yang let go of her and said, "Go back to your room and rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"No, I'm going out to eat."

Hearing her words, Pei Yang quickly grabbed her again, "Where are you going?"

Shen Mingzhu was in a confused mood and said casually: "It doesn't matter where you go, you don't have to worry about me."

How could I not care about you?

Pei Yang still held back from yelling at her, even though he was almost angry to death by what she said.

"If you don't want to see me, I'll go out and you stay at home."

Shen Mingzhu remained silent.

Pei Yang took her silence as acquiescence, angrily took off his apron, threw it on the shelf, and walked away.

The steps were long and fast, and the wind brought up Shen Mingzhu's hair.

After a while, there was a heavy closing sound in the living room.

Seeing the fresh ingredients on the stove, Shen Mingzhu also lost the mood to cook and turned around to go to the living room to call Cui Lianying.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, she saw the brother and sister standing outside the kitchen door, looking at her silently and nervously.

Cui Lianying stood behind the brothers and sisters, with worry on her face.

"Mother."

Pei Tang put his arms around her waist, pressed his face against her abdomen, and begged uneasily: "Mom, please don't quarrel with dad, okay? If dad makes you angry, I can scold him with my brother."

Shen Mingzhu's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, making her breathless.

Through her daughter, she seemed to see her own childhood.

Her parents quarreled endlessly and the family fell apart. She could only hide in bed and cry helplessly.

She knew all too well how torturous and painful those days were, and she didn't want her daughter to be contaminated at all, even if the cost was to have her swallow 10,000 needles.

"Okay, mom promises you that you will never quarrel with dad again."

Pei Tang sucked his little red nose and looked at her, his tear-washed eyes were purer and clearer than gems.
"Then will you divorce your father? Fan Fangfang's parents divorced, and her father found a stepmother for her. Her stepmother was not good to her at all. She always scolded her and made her do a lot of work."

Shen Mingzhu was stung by the uneasiness in her daughter's eyes, and coaxed her softly: "No, dad and I will not divorce. We just have a little quarrel, just like you have a quarrel with your friend. We will be with you in two days." alright."

Pei Tang stretched out his little finger and said, "Lagou, lie to me and you are just a puppy."

"Ah."

Shen Mingzhu stretched out her little finger and hooked it tightly with her daughter's, "If mommy lies to you, she will turn into a puppy and stay with you for the rest of her life, helping you look after the house."

Pei Tang burst into tears and smiled. Pei Ziheng on the side was also relieved.

Although he usually dislikes Pei Yang, he is not willing to change to another stepfather.

……

In the dimly lit bar, Pei Yang and Chen Yi sat at an inconspicuous corner of the bar.

"She actually doesn't believe me. Am I that kind of person? She also said that I deliberately kept Xiao Dai in the company. She obviously agreed to it when I told her about it before. Why did she say that? If I am really wrong, then she can’t run away!”

After chattering for a long time, Chen Yi just smiled and sipped his wine. Pei Yang couldn't hold back his anger:

"Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

Chen Yi put down his wine glass and said, "We are sitting here, just like a poor person listening to the worries of the rich."

Pei Yang looked at him blankly.

Chen Yi shook his wine glass and sighed: "You don't know how much I envy you. Her arguing with you just proves that she cares about you. If she doesn't care, how can she care about how many members of the opposite sex are around you?"

"Then she can tell me carefully, can losing her temper solve the problem?" Her tone has softened a lot.

"If she can stay calm about this kind of thing, then you have to worry."

Pei Yang's raised corners of his mouth couldn't even suppress the AK.

Chen Yi clinked the cup with him and said, "Drink. Go home early after drinking."

Pei Yang picked up the wine glass but did not drink it. Instead, he poured all the wine into the ashtray.

"Drinking makes things worse. I won't drink anymore."

After finishing pouring, he said to Chen Yi: "To thank you for your enlightenment tonight, I will give you two messages for free."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

"My sister has no signs of forgiving you yet, but she doesn't plan to find a man either."

……

It was almost twelve o'clock when Pei Yang got home.

In fact, he left the bar at ten o'clock, but he was afraid that the smell of tobacco and alcohol would make Shen Mingzhu angry, so he followed Chen Yi back to the family home, took a shower, and had a midnight snack before returning.

After entering the bedroom, I didn't dare to turn on the light, so I walked to the bedside in the dark and lay down quietly.

Shen Mingzhu was not asleep, and the man's every move, including his breathing, could be heard clearly.

Silence spreads infinitely in the darkness.

Suddenly, there was a soft rustling sound beside him.

Amid Simmons' slight shock, Pei Yang got up and got out of bed.

Click.

As the bedroom door opened and closed, silence returned to the room.

Listening to the noise coming from the guest bedroom next door, Shen Mingzhu slowly turned over.

The next day, Shen Mingzhu got up a little late.

When she got dressed and walked out of the bedroom, steaming breakfast was already placed on the dining table. Just by the smell, she knew it was wontons.

The brother and sister sat in their respective seats, waiting for Pei Yang to help.

"Good morning, Mom."

"morning."

Shen Mingzhu and his brother and sister greeted each other.

"Honey, wash your face and eat wontons stuffed with shepherd's purse."

In the cold winter, most of the wild areas are covered with snow, so it is not easy to eat fresh shepherd's purse.

Shen Mingzhu loves wontons, especially shepherd's purse stuffing. Pei Yang got up early in the morning to make this, which was obviously a sign of softness and flattery.

"I made an appointment to go out for morning tea."

After saying that, Shen Mingzhu picked up her bag and went out. (End of chapter)
