The two of them didn't go downstairs until it was time for dinner.

Pei Sichen gave Shen Xiao a piece of sweet and sour fish with chopsticks. Shen Xiao forced a smile and gave Pei Sichen a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his backhand.

They had already developed a huge tacit understanding about this kind of thing, and maintained a good and close relationship as husband and wife in front of Grandpa, creating the illusion that those gossipy news were all paparazzi reporters framing Pei Sichen.

Mr. Pei sat across from them and sighed in his heart when he saw the loveless interaction between the two.

He coughed seriously and said, "Si Chen, please restrain yourself from going outside. Don't fool around with those shady women again, and don't let people photograph you for fake news and get them caught."

"Your father made several calls from abroad to reprimand him, but I stopped him for you. The person you have to answer for this kind of thing is not your father, but Xiaoxiao, do you understand?"

When Shen Xiao heard this, she naturally knew that the old man was protecting her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

Pei Sichen nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, Grandpa."

The old man then hummed with satisfaction and continued: "Also, Xiaoxiao, you have been married for two years. It is time to have a child. Grandpa is getting older and wants to hug the next generation before he is buried."

Shen Xiao didn't want to disappoint the old man, so he twisted his lips and agreed with difficulty, "Grandpa, we will work hard."

When something happened to Shen Changming, the Shen family was in chaos. If the old man hadn't come to help, I'm afraid there would be no Shen family and no Shen Changming now.

What's more, the old man is the only person in the Pei family, or even the Shen family, who truly loves and protects her.

She couldn't help but be grateful and respect the old man, so she almost obeyed the old man's request, and then she carried the pressure to complete it.

Fang Hezhu sat at the dining table, clenching the chopsticks in her hands tightly, trembling with anger, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt.

Why does the old man favor Pei Sichen so much? Why does Pei Sichen give him a few gentle reprimands when he does something wrong, while Pei Qingyan punishes him severely when he does something wrong?

Thinking of this, Fang Hezhu couldn't help it anymore, raised the corner of her mouth and sarcastically said: "Si Chen, the old man cares so much about you, you can't continue to mess up your private life in the future and embarrass him. After all, the old man is so caring. When you go out to play chess with other old men, you can't show off your face."

The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became deserted, and Pei Sichen nodded calmly: "Grandpa has already taught me a lesson, so you don't need to second-guess him. After all, Pei Qingyan's eyes are still wandering where they shouldn't be, and he is more Need your education."

Fang Hezhu's face changed: "You!"

Shen Xiao lowered his head and pursed his lips. Unexpectedly, Pei Sichen was still angry about what happened just now, and he even said so many words to refute Fang Hezhu for the first time.

Fang Hezhu wanted to say something else, but Mr. Pei suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table and said in a deep voice: "What kind of noise is there, and how can it be decent? The elders don't have the appearance of the elders, and the juniors don't have the attitude that juniors should have."

With that said, Mr. Pei stood up, lowered his head and said to Pei Sichen: "Sichen, come with me to the study."

Pei Sichen put down his rice bowl and followed the old man upstairs.

Shen Xiao raised his head, rolled his eyes, and happened to see the angry look on Hezhu's face above him. He immediately stood up and said, "I'm full. I'm going back to my room first."

After saying that, she ran towards the stairs before Fang Hezhu could react.

Fang Hezhu could be heard yelling angrily from behind, and Shen Xiao ran into her and Pei Sichen's bedroom without looking back.

As soon as she walked in, Gu Lan called and came in.

She didn't care to close the door, and while answering the phone, she lay down on the bed: "Hey, Mom."

"Shen Xiao, look at the good things you have done, what should we do now?" As soon as the call was connected, Gu Lan's impatient voice came in.

"What's going on?" Shen Xiao was scolded inexplicably.

"Your sister-in-law really stopped Tianyou's living allowance! Tianyou is still studying abroad. Can she do it without living allowance? If you and her hadn't had a big fight in the hospital, could she have done so well? Obviously Tianyou He's her nephew." Gu Lan said angrily.

Shen Xiao frowned and said, "Tianyou doesn't study well abroad at all. He spends so much money every year on shady and evil ways. He should be allowed to practice on his own. Every year, there are so many international students in our country. He works part-time to earn living expenses, why can't he?"

"Those international students are all paupers. Can Tianyou be the same after being pampered since childhood?" Gu Lan said loudly, "You clearly don't care about your brother when you say this. If Shen Rou was here, Tianyou would definitely not suffer this crime."

She paused and continued: "Your sister-in-law said that as long as Mrs. Pei can give the water park project to Mrs. Shen, she will immediately restore Tianyou's living expenses. You should think of a way quickly."

Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Shen Xiao suddenly turned cold: "No way, that's nonsense! The water park is Pei's biggest project in the second half of the year. With Shen's current asset level and loan capacity, there is no way he can afford such a project. A big project will only suffer from both sides."
