Master Pei’s Wife is a Devil Concubine Chapter 232 – 232 Conquering the Mother

232 Conquering the Mother-in-law

The journey back seemed to be particularly long.

She turned off her phone as soon as she boarded the plane. In the first class cabin, Su Ji was still reading the script, her heart unable to calm down.

When Pei Huai was talking to her, she would have a short moment of clarity.

However, when they stopped talking, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.

Pei Huai didn’t say much, not wanting her to feel even more agitated.

After three to four hours, they returned to A City.

This trip to Country T was over.

The crew members were happy but also tired. Han Junlei and the others had to rush back to the studio to edit the film.

Su Ji bade farewell to the crew, and Pei Huai helped her with her luggage.

He drove the car that Shen Mu brought to pick him up and sent Su Ji home.

Shen Mu was placed on the curb at the exit of the airport.

（༎ຶ-༎ຶ）

It was very late when Su Ji arrived home. Before she got out of the car, Pei Huai put her coat on.

The temperature difference between Country T and A City was huge, and it was snowing again in A City two days ago.

When Su Ji entered the room, Xu Mingzhi was still in the study reviewing the contract.

An ice pack was placed on her head, and she was wearing a suit and high heels. Her expression was serious when she read the contract.

She did not realize that Su Ji had returned.

She coughed from time to time, and one could tell that her throat was inflamed.

Wei Wei hurriedly went forward. “Ms. Su, only you can persuade the boss. She doesn’t listen to anything I say and insists on looking at the documents. She’ll need at least three to four hours to go through them.”

Su Yi was silent for a moment and didn’t answer her. She pushed the door open and entered the study.

“Madam Xu Mingzhi, stop reading.”

“Cough, cough, ” Xu Mingzhi said hoarsely, “just five minutes…”

Before she could finish speaking, a tall and thin figure walked in. She was dressed in simple casual clothes and looked like a supermodel. She had a hat on her head and a black mask on her face.

The document in her hand was taken away. Su Ji made a mark on the page and put it aside.

Only then did Xu Mingzhi realize that her daughter was back. “Baby, you must be tired. I’ll get Aunt Wu to make some soup, and I’ll get her to bring it to you…”

Su Ji pulled her by the hand and led her to her room.

“I’m sleepy, I don’t want soup.”

“You’re sleepy?” Xu Mingzhi was being led away by her. She held back her cough and said, “then go take a shower and go to bed. Don’t worry about me. It’s just a common cold. I went to the hospital today…”

“You need to rest even if it’s just a common cold. Su Ji made her lie on the bed and sat by the bed to take her pulse. I’ll go to bed after I’m done with you. If you want me to sleep early, then be obedient and cooperate with me.”

Xu Mingzhi had nothing else to say. “Alright.”

Wei Wei quietly closed the door for the two.

Sure enough, if she wanted to persuade the boss, she had to ask Ms. Su for help!

Su Ji examined her carefully without saying anything.

Xu Mingzhi looked at her and couldn’t help but cough a few times.

After about half an hour, she was relieved to make sure that Xu Mingzhi really had the common cold.

“You’re not allowed to go to work for the next three days. I’ll make some medicine for you.”

Xu Mingzhi was a boss to everyone except her daughter. “Baby, if I don’t go to work…”

“You can have a video conference.” Su Ji looked at her directly, her eyes dark and cold.

Su Ji was familiar with this strategy. Pei Huai had been doing this for the past few days.

Xu Mingzhi smiled and touched her face.

It was true that she had not properly rested for many years. She smiled and looked at Su Ji. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Only then did Su Ji smile. “Good!”

There was nothing to do on Friday and Saturday, and the meeting at Blue Whale was not important. Su Ji stayed at home to look after Xu Mingzhi.

Tang Yimo hadn’t posted on TikTok for three days, and many fans had left her comments.

[ “Speaking from experience, when a celebrity goes missing for several days in a row, they have big news!” ]

[ “I think she might be in love!” ]

[ “Don’t tell me the official announcement is coming in a few days?” ]

[ “Could it be CEO Pei?” ]

On Saturday night, the fourth episode of “The Billions Stars” was aired.

In the meeting room, a group of executives in black suits sat on both sides, as Pei Huai appeared on the screen

The post-production team edited the scene such that Pei Huai’s face was gradually revealed.

First, they saw the spotless leather shoes and a pair of long and slender legs.

Further up was a black shirt. Then, there was a gun holster by the belt.

His shirt perfectly outlined the tight muscles around his shoulders.

It matched Nicha Sonpashan’s character perfectly.

Broad shoulders, strong waist. What a domineering sight!

The moment Pei Huai appeared on screen, the netizens went crazy.

The fans madly hit their keyboards, but the chat was frozen.

It took a full five minutes for the system to be restored.

In an instant, the comments flooded the screen.

[ “It takes a CEO to play a CEO!!!” ]

[ “From now on, I have a prototype for a CEO character!” ]

[ “Tomorrow’s wedding is canceled. CEO Pei, let’s get together!” ]

[ “Si Jingchuan was also an amazon CEO!” ]

[ “I’ve been a fan of Si Jingchuan for five years! But this time…” ]

Su Ji and Xu Mingzhi watched the episode together.

Xu Mingzhi’s “holiday” was not over yet.

In the living room, Su Ji had a lychee in her mouth as she stared at Pei Huai’s magnified face on the screen.

Xu Mingzhi brought the coffee to her mouth, but she forgot to drink it.

The mother and daughter were silent for a while. It was Aunt Wu who broke the silence. When she saw Pei Huai, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “wow, Mr. Pei is so photogenic. I think he’s even more handsome than the male lead!”

Xu Mingzhi said, “I guess…he’s not bad.”

Su Ji bit through the lychee, and its juice filled her mouth with sweetness. “Jingchuan has been pushed away from the limelight in this episode.”

Indeed, the moment Pei Huai appeared, Si Jingchuan’s face dimmed.

Especially the scene at the airport.

Nicha Sonpashan expressed his admiration to Bai Yueguang, but was rejected.

The chat was crying miserably!

It was as if they had missed a good opportunity!

[ “Nicha is really upset!!!” ]

[ “CEO Pei’s acting is so good! I almost thought that he really liked Su Ji!” ]

[ “I’m begging Bai Yueguang to stay there! Shoot a new drama with Nicha Sonpashan!!” ]

[ “Yes! Bai Yueguang should be with Nicha, so she doesn’t have to fight with Qian Qian!” ]

[ “How much does it cost to get CEO Pei to act?” ]

After finishing the episode, Xu Mingzhi was also flustered.

If she were to go back to 20 years ago, she would definitely kick Su Cunyi aside and wander around the world with Nicha Sonpashan!

She had an impulse to give them her blessings!

But…

She took a sip of the medicine. “Baby, Pei Huai’s condition…”

Su Ji shrugged. “Oh, he’s cured a long time ago. He was fine before I went to Country T.”

“Really? I guess he’s still young and recovers fast.” Xu Mingzhi was relieved.

Wait a minute!

Xu Mingzhi instantly narrowed her eyes again. “How did you know he was cured?”

Su Ji’s expression froze. “He told me himself.”

Xu Mingzhi turned to her. “So, when you went to Country T, he went with you and was fine?”

Su Ji took a deep breath and clarified, “he didn’t sleep with me! He didn’t use my bathroom! We definitely didn’t go to the special performance you mentioned!”
