Chapter 280 - 280 The Time had Come!
280 The Time had Come!
Xu Mingzhi paused for a few seconds and glanced at her daughter who was still drinking the soup. “You two have only been together for a few months. There’s no rush, right?”
Pei Huai remained silent. “I wanted to introduce her to my parents from the first day I met her.”
Xu Mingzhi: “…”
Pei Huai replied, “they don’t come back often. It’s better to meet them this time.”
Xu Mingzhi did not refuse anymore. The fact that he wanted them to meet showed that he was serious about this relationship.
“Sure, tell me when the time comes.”
Pei Huai nodded and turned to look at Su Ji. Su Ji did not say anything, so he smiled.
Xu Mingzhi wanted to get to know him more, so she asked him, “do your parents have a good relationship?”
Pei Huai gave an irrelevant answer, “my relationship with my mother is not bad.”
Xu Mingzhi seemed to have understood something and didn’t ask anything else.
Pei Huai reassured her, “my parents will like her.”

In the next few days, Su Ji shot a few more scenes for the commercial. After that, she went to the studio to record a voiceover.
Pei Huai would pick her up every time.
Huang Huayu was shocked to see the same car, but he didn’t see who was sitting in the car.
After having ready for the release, Pei Huai asked CEO Wang to go to his office.
CEO Wang didn’t dare to be slow. After answering the phone, he quickly arrived at the office.
Pei Huai said concisely, “speed up the post-production work. We’ll release the commercial at the same time as the Xu Group’s.”
The Xu Group’s commercial was almost ready, and he didn’t want to delay the progress.
CEO Wang replied, “no problem, everything else has been prepared. Once we finish filming, the rest will be quick. We will definitely release it before the Xu Group.”
He had misunderstood. He thought that CEO Pei wanted him to speed up the progress because he was afraid of falling behind.
The reason for this misunderstanding was that he didn’t know that Ms. Su was the CEO’s daughter.
He had been paying attention to Ms. Su and CEO Xu, but he just couldn’t connect the dots.
On the contrary, he was quite concerned about the Su Corporation.
Pei Huai could tell that he had misunderstood. “Don’t do it too early or too late. I said we’ll release it together. The Pei Corporation and the Xu Group are not competitors.”
CEO Wang was stunned. It seemed that there might be some kind of cooperation between the two CEOs, but this kind of thing was only on the surface. CEO Wang, who had been in business for a long time, understood it the best.
Therefore, he deliberately took a step closer to the desk and asked cleverly, “CEO Pei, should we secretly pay to get featured?”
“Get who featured?” Pei Huai asked.
Pei Huai’s index finger tapped on the table. He did not wait for CEO Wang to answer. “Sure, we can do it for the Xu Group.”
“Ah?”
The next second, Pei Huai said, “she’s my future mother-in-law.”
CEO Wang was speechless.
“Mother-in-law…” He couldn’t recover from the shock and almost bit his tongue.
At that moment, the faces of Ms. Su and CEO Xu were spinning in his mind.
Holy sh*t sh*t sh*t!
He had just issued an order in the morning meeting that the sales performance of the first month must be double that of the Xu Group’s.
It seemed that they would have to have another meeting!

By the weekend, Si Jingbin had fully recovered and could be discharged.
Binbin, who had recovered, was full of energy.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, he even folded the patient’s garb he had taken off and placed it on the bed. The bedsheet was pressed flat with his small hands.
By the time Wen Man and the others arrived, he had almost finished packing.
Su Ji and Si Jingchuan had also come to pick him up.
Doctor Mo repeatedly checked the examination report. The little guy had now fully recovered.
“That’s great,” Wen Man said. “Mommy’s little baby can go home again.”
“Take good care of your brother,” said Si Ke. “Don’t let him get sick all the time.”
Due to the age difference between Si Jingchuan and Si Jingbin, and the fact that Si Ke was usually very busy, Si Jingchuan would take care of his younger brother when he had no work.
Si Jingchuan was silent for two seconds. He then scratched Si Jingbin’s chin and said, “don’t address me as your brother in the future. Call me ‘dad’.”
“What are you talking about, you little brat!” When Si Ke was fierce, he looked like he was going to devour someone.
Si Jingbin tilted his head. He didn’t want to offend either side. “Then, from now on, I’ll call dad ‘big daddy’ and big brother ‘second daddy’!”
Wen Man almost spat out the water in her mouth. Si Ke patted her back with his other hand, his heart aching for her. At the same time, he slapped the back of Si Jingchuan’s head with his other hand, “what nonsense!”
Then, he looked back at Si Jingbin, “don’t even call him brother in the future.”
Si Jingbin touched his chin with his finger, “then what should I do?”
“Call him ‘brat’!” Si Ke said.
Si Jingbin was very obedient. He turned around and said, “brat!”
Si Jingchuan: “…”
Su Ji smiled.
It was quite lively when the whole family was together.
When they left the hospital, Si Jingbin looked around at everyone who had come to pick him up. In the end, he held Su Ji’s hand.
Su Ji touched his head.
Si Jingbin was like a little adult. “Pretty sister.”
Su Ji looked down at him and raised her eyebrows, “yes?”
Si Jingbin held his head high and walked forward with small steps.
“I’ve agreed to let you and handsome uncle be together.”
His small palm was warm and Su Ji chuckled at his serious tone, “thank you…”
Si Jingbin held her hand happily and added, “it’s still better than you being with Pei Xingxing!”
Su Ji: “…”

After Si Jingbin was discharged from the hospital, the Si family warmly invited Su Ji to stay for a meal, but Su Ji l refused.
Because today, there was another important matter.
After leaving the Si residence and getting into Wang Zhicheng’s car, Su Ji put a lychee candy into her mouth. “Uncle Wang, take me to the Pei residence.”
Wang Zhicheng: “Yes!”
An hour later, Pei Xi and Bill were seated on the sofa in the Pei family’s house.
A month ago, Pei Huai and Su Ji challenged each other to see who could cure them first. Today was the day.
Pei Song also arrived to take notes at the side.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, Su Ji took Bill’s pulse and Pei Huai took Pei Xi’s pulse.
Before they did that, Pei Xi said, “wait!”
Then, she found a small handkerchief and put it on Bill’s wrist.
Bill scratched his head in embarrassment and said in English, “baby, Su Ji is not an outsider. Isn’t that too formal?”
The corner of Pei Xi’s eyes twitched. “You’re thinking too much. I’m just afraid that Pei Huai will cut off your hand.”
“Oh…” Bill said.
Usually, it would be quick, but this time, the two of them took a long time.
As time passed by, Pei Xi and Bill were extremely nervous.
After an unknown period of time, Su Ji narrowed her eyes at Pei Huai, and Pei Huai returned her gaze with a slight frown.
Pei Xi was anxious, “what do you two mean by this?”
Pei Huai slowly removed his hand, “a mixed-race child should look good.”
Su Ji replied, “I will be the godmother.”
