The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

Looking at Chen Yi, who stood beside Pei Wenping with an "we’re quite familiar" attitude, the man hesitated, "This is..."

"I’m her ex-husband."

The man paused for an instant, then politely reached out to shake hands with Chen Yi, "Pleased to meet you; how may I address you?"

"Chen Yi."

While shaking hands, Chen Yi intentionally or unintentionally stepped forward half a step, his tall posture just managed to block Pei Wenping.

"May I ask where Mr. Chen works?"

"It’s nothing impressive; I work in the film and television industry, and in my free time I write scripts and articles to supplement the family income."

"I had no idea Mr. Chen was such a talented man."

"Too kind, too kind..."

The two men thus struck up a lively conversation, while Pei Wenping, blocked behind Chen Yi, seemed superfluous.
