Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 83: You Two Just Make Do

Chapter 83: Chapter 83: You Two Just Make Do

Yao Fangsheng and the Xia Family were overjoyed upon hearing that Meng Yusheng wanted to meet Pei Ye.

Pei Ye was just a surgeon, so his ability to catch Meng Yusheng’s eye must be because he was Yao Fangsheng’s grandson-in-law.

Pei Ye was soon called over, and he and Xia Mengyao were holding hands, looking at each other affectionately, making others envious.

With the background of the Yao and Xia families, Pei Ye being able to marry into them only proved that his and Xia Mengyao’s love transcended social classes.

"This is Mr. Meng," Yao Fangsheng said with a smile, "Call him Uncle Meng."

Pei Ye, who worked at the hospital, had long revered Meng Yusheng’s reputation. "Uncle Meng, I have admired you for a long time and never thought I’d see you in person today. It’s my great fortune that Uncle Meng could attend my nephew’s engagement party..."

"I am not close enough with your father to call each other brothers, so I can’t accept being called uncle," Meng Yusheng politely interrupted Pei Ye’s compliment, "I just wanted to see you."

Pei Ye was a bit confused.

It felt odd, Meng Yusheng saying he came to see him, yet clearly not wanting to establish a connection.

Mrs. Meng, standing nearby, seemed indifferent, her gaze never falling on him but rather fixed softly smiling at a specific spot in the venue.

Yao Fangsheng also subtly felt something was amiss, yet he had to treat Meng Yusheng with the highest respect, regardless of his attitude, since he graced the engagement party with his presence.

After Meng Yusheng was settled, more guests arrived gradually.

Meng Yusheng found himself surrounded by several people within the circle who also hadn’t expected to see Mr. Meng at the Xia family’s engagement party.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Meng headed straight for Meng Tian.

"Mom," Meng Tian blinked at Mrs. Meng, "why are you here too?"

"Of course, I came to see who would be blind enough to reject my daughter." Mrs. Meng took Ye Yan’s hand, "Ah Yan, long time no see, you’re getting more beautiful. If I had a son, I’d definitely snatch you up as a daughter-in-law."

"Auntie, you’re joking again," said Ye Yan, who had never experienced motherly love, but Mrs. Meng had always treated her kindly.

During school days, she often asked Meng Tian to bring her home, and if there were any school issues involving parents, Mrs. Meng was always the first to step forward.

In Ye Yan’s eyes, Mrs. Meng was like a second mother.

"Why don’t you two just make do with each other?" Mrs. Meng suddenly proposed.

Meng Tian rolled her eyes fiercely, "Or how about I undergo a sex change, come back as your son, and marry Ye Yan for you?"

"That’s not impossible," Mrs. Meng thought it was a feasible idea.

"Truly my mother," Meng Tian hugged Ye Yan and shook her, "In her eyes, you are far more important than her own daughter."

"Ah Yan is obedient, well-behaved, and dignified, unlike you, always monkeying around, jumping here and there. The most important thing is you are blind at such a young age, otherwise, who would settle for such a thing?"

Meng Tian: ...

Mom, you can really stab one in the heart.

While the three of them were talking, Xia Mengyao’s best friend pulled her aside.

"Yaoyao, Pei Ye’s ex-girlfriend must have deliberately come to sabotage the event, right? Just shamelessly trying to get cozy with Mrs. Meng."

Everyone knew that Meng Yusheng and his wife were the VIPs today, and countless people in the banquet hall wanted to connect with them.

These people, who had been desperately waiting for an opportunity, now saw Pei Ye’s ex-girlfriend seize the chance first.

"She’s always been shameless," Xia Mengyao said, her fake eyelashes quivering with anger, "She keeps pestering Pei Ye even after breaking up, all because she sees that Pei Ye is handsome and has a bright future. With someone like her, if Pei Ye ever dumped her, she’d rot in a ditch."

"Pei Ye was the one who caused this mess, let him solve it himself."

"Right, kick out the ex-girlfriend, so that she doesn’t spoil everyone’s mood."

Hearing her friend’s advice, Xia Mengyao immediately called over Pei Ye, who was welcoming guests at the entrance.

Pei Ye had hoped to use the occasion to network with more influential figures, but Xia Mengyao didn’t give him any chance to speak and dragged him away in front of everyone.

He clearly saw the ridicule and derision in the eyes of the onlookers.

They mocked him for being a man who married into his wife’s family, a man without any say.

Pei Ye’s face immediately darkened.

"No matter what, you must get rid of that woman today," Xia Mengyao’s fierce gaze was a stark contrast to her elegant high-end gown.

"You were the one who asked her to come, and now you want her gone; what do you really want?" Pei Ye was somewhat angry, but he knew the nature of the event, so he suppressed it.

"I invited her, but now I can’t stand the sight of her," Xia Mengyao clenched her teeth, "Look at how cheap she is, sucking up to Mrs. Meng. Does she even deserve that? Don’t think I don’t know her plan. She wants to win over Mrs. Meng and then use Mrs. Meng’s status to pressurize you, dreaming that you would change your mind about her."

"That’s delusional. I am devoted to you, even if she was Mrs. Meng’s daughter, I wouldn’t spare her another glance."

This statement pleased Xia Mengyao, and she couldn’t help but cling to Pei Ye’s arm, "Then go drive her out."

Pei Ye could only reluctantly agree.

He had hardly taken a few steps when suddenly, the hall was thrown into disarray—as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Another person had arrived, and by the looks of the reaction, their status was no less than Meng Yusheng’s.

Meng Tian was still coyly doting on Mrs. Meng, but inadvertently glanced towards the entrance and immediately paled.

How could this be? Why is he here?

Ye Yan noticed Meng Tian’s sudden nervousness and followed her gaze, also taken aback.

Was the person surrounded by a multitude, yet unable to hide their brilliant aura, Tang Jingyao?!

Tang Jingyao, in a bespoke suit and impeccably tied tie, with his handsome appearance and trademark charming smile, looked as if he was the center of attention, a deity among mortals.

"Isn’t that the Tang Family boy?" Mrs. Meng sipped her fruit wine, "Tiantian, you used to play together when you were children, but you haven’t kept in touch much after growing up."

Having said that and hearing no response, Mrs. Meng turned around to find only Ye Yan’s serene face, smiling warmly at her.

"Where’s Tiantian?" Mrs. Meng frowned, "Speaking of her being a monkey, she really takes it seriously, running off so quickly."

Ye Yan gave a sheepish smile, silently looking in the direction of the stairs.

It was perhaps for the best that Meng Tian had run off; she was definitely no match for Tang Jingyao face-to-face. Tang Jingyao, always with a gentle smile, was a man she had seen a few times and always found deep and unpredictable.

The gentler the smile, the more ruthless the methods.

Meng Tian was certainly not his match.

If she couldn’t fight, couldn’t she at least evade?

"Ah Yan, I’ll go say hello." The Meng Family and Tang Family had relations, especially the older generation, who were once comrades in life and death.

But as the Tang family’s fortunes rose like the midday sun, the Meng Family, though not lacking, gradually lost much intersection with them.

Mrs. Meng wondered, did the Tang family have some connection with the Yao and Xia families as well?
