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

In the evening, after Shen Mingzhu had finished freshening up and stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Demu darting toward the yard outside.

Then came a knock at the door.

Thinking it might be Pei Yang who had forgotten his key, she opened the door only to find Pei Wenping standing there, Shen Mingzhu couldn’t hide her surprise, "Big sister? Why are you here so late?"

Under the clear illumination of the streetlamps, Pei Wenping’s face bore a look of concern, "I just got back from the airport. I waited all night but Chen Yi didn’t show up, and nobody answered his phone. Could something have happened?"

Shen Mingzhu wasn’t sure what was going on either, so she invited Pei Wenping in.

Just as she was about to call Chen Family’s elderly couple to ask about Chen Yi’s whereabouts, Pei Yang returned.

"My brother-in-law told me that there was a severe thunderstorm today in Shanghai City. All flights at the airport were halted, and he probably won’t be back until tomorrow."

Upon learning about the flight delay, Pei Wenping was finally able to relax and she went back home.

As she watched the taxi drive away, Shen Mingzhu turned to the man beside her, "What exactly is going on?"

"My wife is really impressive, you can’t hide anything from her."
