I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

  Chapter 371 Pei Jingzhou's wife is strictly controlled

   From Li Xiwu's point of view, this expression should be someone else in the office besides Pei Jingzhou.

   Li Xiwu asked, "Who's here?"

   "Yes, yes..." Wang Kaiheng did not have a complete sentence.

  Li Xiwu has already seen the clues, with a smile on his lips: "It seems that Secretary Wang is usually too busy, so busy that he can't even open his mouth to speak."

  Wang Kaiheng: "..."

  She stepped forward, raised her hand and knocked on the door. Just as she was about to push the door in, Chen Xin came out of the office suddenly. Seeing Li Xiwu at the door, she asked in a normal tone, "Madam, when did you come?"

  Li Xiwu: "Just here."

   After she finished speaking, she was about to go in, but Chen Xin stopped her: "Madam!"

  Li Xiwu frowned, and looked suspiciously at Chen Xin who refused to let her in: "What's wrong?"

   Usually when Li Xiwu comes to the company, Chen Xin welcomes her in immediately.

  Come here today, but Chen Xin stopped her outside, which made Li Xiwu have to think more, what is Pei Jingzhou doing inside? Or who to meet?

   "Madam, Mr. Pei is taking an important call." Chen Xin explained.

  Li Xiwu took a deep breath, and said softly: "If you are meeting important people, I understand that you can't go in and disturb them, but it's just to answer the phone, why can't I go in?"

  Chen Xin knew very well that what he said just now was a bit clumsy, but at this time he let his wife in and saw that woman, it might be hard to explain.

  He didn't expect that his wife would come over suddenly at this time.

   "Chen Xin?"

   Li Xiwu shouted.

  Chen Xin came back to his senses, and quickly responded: "Hey."

  When he responded, Chen Xin did not dare to look at Li Xiwu at all, for fear that his panic would be seen by Li Xiwu.

   As everyone knows, the more he dodges his gaze, the less he dares to look directly at Li Xiwu, the more it means there is a ghost.

  Li Xiwu didn't intend to ask any more questions from Chen Xin, so he pushed him away and stepped forward, pushing the door to enter.

"Mrs!"

  Chen Xin didn't have time to stop, the door was already opened by Li Xiwu.

  Just as Li Xiwu was about to go in, a woman suddenly appeared at the door.

   is a woman Li Xiwu has never seen before.

   Very strange faces.

  The woman is wearing a dark green cheongsam with high slits. The cheongsam is printed with hot rose flowers. Because the slits next to the legs are extremely high, the legs are white and long, which is extremely attractive.

  The so-called, charming but not vulgar.

  When Li Xiwu was looking at Xiang Wanning, Xiang Wanning was also looking at Li Xiwu. The two looked at each other, and Xiang Wanning covered her lips and smiled lightly: "You are Mrs. Pei, right?"

   Li Xiwu replied calmly: "Yes."

   It stands to reason that a woman as charming as Xiang Wanning, who appears in Pei Jingzhou's office, can seduce people's soul with every frown and smile, Li Xiwu should be very vigilant with her instinct as a woman.

  But she found that her emotions were very flat.

   Any anger?

   Yes, when Chen Xin deliberately lied to her just now.

   Other than that, she didn't feel any anger, because she didn't think that Pei Jingzhou would do anything reckless behind her back.

  She didn't know why she was so firm, but she just believed in Pei Jingzhou.

  Xiang Wanning narrowed her slender fox eyes, and said with a smile, "I guess I came to the company, and those small employees wanted to claim credit, so they reported it to Mrs. Pei, right?"

  Li Xiwu bent his lips: "No."

  Xiang Wanning: "Isn't it? I thought Mrs. Pei came here specially after hearing the sound. Looking at it this way, Mrs. Pei is more calm than I imagined."

  Chen Xin next to him couldn't listen anymore: "Mrs. He, you..."

  In the middle of speaking, Chen Xin saw Pei Jingzhou coming out, and immediately took back all the words.

  Xiang Wanning smiled and asked Chen Xin: "What's wrong with me?"

   Pei Jingzhou who came out said, "You can go."

Hearing Pei Jingzhou's voice, Xiang Wanning didn't turn her head. She leaned her upper body on the door frame and smiled coquettishly: "Compared to Mrs. Pei's composure, Mr. Pei seems to be more restless. I can't tell, Mr. Pei is also The wife is strict."

  Li Xiwu raised her eyes to look at Pei Jingzhou, she saw him when he came out.

  Pei Jingzhou's voice was cold and cold: "This is in my company, Madam He, please save me some face. If word of my wife's strict management spreads from Mrs. He's mouth, as the boss, what is my dignity in the company from now on?"

Xiang Wanning smiled when she heard the words, played with the newly made wine red manicure, and said slowly: "Boss Pei is right, if I accidentally spread the word, Boss Pei will not only lose his majesty, but Mrs. Pei will probably be there too." Become a famous shrew in the whole family circle!"

  Li Xiwu, who was inexplicably dubbed a shrew: "..."

  Pei Jingzhou motioned to Chen Xin: "Send off Mrs. He."

   Chen Xin nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Wan Ning: "Mrs. He."

   Xiang Wanning snorted, glanced at Li Xiwu before leaving, and said meaningfully: "I want to learn Mrs. Pei's art of controlling husbands too. I wonder if Mrs. Pei has time some other day, so teach me?"

Li Xiwu smiled back and corrected: "Madam He must have misunderstood or been indoctrinated with the wrong concept. The so-called art of controlling the husband is the woman's excessive intervention, trying to transform the other party to get what she wants. It is not something worth promoting that leads to a disharmonious and unhappy marriage.”

   Xiang Wan choked, and then said: "Mrs. Pei is right, but my husband and I are not at ease, how can I adjust it?"

  When Li Xiwu heard this, he didn't know what kind of expression to show.

   At the end, I only replied: "I'm sorry Mrs. He, I'm not an emotional counselor, so I can't answer your question."

  Pei Jingzhou next to him showed an impatient face. Of course, it was because of Xiang Wanning's delay in leaving.

  He stretched out his hand and took Li Xiwu's wrist: "Go in first."

  Li Xiwu hummed, and was about to go in with Pei Jingzhou.

   Behind her, Xiang Wanning suddenly stopped her: "Mrs. Pei."

   Li Xiwu paused, and tapped Pei Jingzhou's palm with his fingertips, indicating to wait a while.

  She turned her head and looked at Xiang Wanning: "Is there anything else Mrs. He can do?"

   Xiang Wanning smiled and said, "I really envy you."

   To Li Xiwu, this was a very inexplicable sentence. Only Xiang Wanning knew that she really envied Li Xiwu.

   Li Xiwu just laughed back at these words.

   At first, there was no need to talk to her, but seeing the sadness and loneliness flashing through the eyes of the other party, Li Xiwu still said something:

"I didn't finish my sentence just now. When a woman becomes a dependent, her negative emotions will turn into a kind of aggressiveness, trying to subdue a man in another way. Husband's technique. In fact, it is not so, don't rely on it too much, it is enough for two people to become the best collaborators."

  Xiang Wanning seemed puzzled by these words: "Collaborator?"

  Li Xiwu nodded: "Yes, but it depends on how you understand it."

  Hearing this, Xiang Wanning restrained the smile on her face, and her expression was much more serious than before: "Mrs. Pei is worthy of being from a high-ranking family, and she speaks with thoughts and connotations."

   This statement sounds a bit ironic at first glance.

  However, from the expression of the other party, it can be seen that the other party is not sarcastic, but serious.

   Li Xiwu was only giving advice, but she didn't say anything after that. If she continued, she would appear to be preaching.

  She doesn't have much talent, and she doesn't have the qualifications to teach others how to live.

   Xiang Wanning left a sentence: "See you again, Mrs. Pei."

   Then, led by Chen Xin, he left.

  In the office.

  Li Xiwu came and went freely, poured water to drink, and sat down, his expression was as usual, and he didn't show any unpleasant expression because of the episode he encountered when he came just now.

   When she was about to put down the water glass, Pei Jingzhou reached out to take it: "You are so relieved, don't ask me?"

  Li Xiwu looked up at him: "What are you asking?"

  Pei Jingzhou: "Lonely man and widow, living in the same room, don't you think too much?"

Li Xiwu pulled her lips and smiled slightly: "I admit that my husband is a very good and attractive man. It's normal to be admired by other women. Of course I would be jealous, but I can tell the difference clearly, so I wouldn't be in this situation. Choose to be a deaf and blind man, and then question you all the way, and then say that I won't listen to your explanation after making a fuss."

  Pei Jingzhou's thin lips half curled: "Honey, I don't even have a chance to explain a few words when you're like this."

  Li Xiwu slightly raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"

  Pei Jingzhou sat down beside her, his arm naturally fell behind her, and the other hand still held the glass of water that Li Xiwu had just drank.

  He raised his hand and took a sip, then leaned over and asked, "What you praised me just now, can you praise me again?"

  Li Xiwu: "Is that all you want to say?"

  Pei Jingzhou nodded lightly: "Yes."

  I thought that Li Xiwu probably wouldn't cooperate with such a boring thing, but to Pei Jingzhou's surprise, Li Xiwu really praised him.

   "My husband is handsome and powerful, outstanding and charming, a person who is like a god, he is definitely one in a million."

  After boasting, she asked Pei Jingzhou: "Does Fourth Brother think it's true to boast so much?"

  Pei Jingzhou's thin lips curled into a smile, and he wanted to kiss her when he leaned over, but Li Xiwu raised his hand to push her back: "I still have something to talk about."

  She came here to tell Pei Jingzhou about going to Bo Yuan's house as a guest.

  And when it comes to being a guest, the guest should be more conscious and don't go too late.

   After all, we can’t let the host family wait for someone hungry.

  However, before she could speak—

  Pei Jingzhou asked her: "You don't want to ask me first, why Mrs. He came to see me?"

Li Xiwu turned sideways, facing Pei Jingzhou, with a slightly serious expression: "It's okay if you don't say anything, what's the matter with Chen Zhu and Secretary Wang? That Mrs. He will come to you when she comes to look for you, Secretary Wang and Secretary Wang Chen Zhu and Secretary Wang are also covering up for you, so if you and her really have something unclear, Chen Zhu and Secretary Wang have really done a great job."

  Pei Jingzhou: "..."

   It is difficult for Pei Jingzhou to explain this.

  He called Chen Xin on the phone.

   At this time, Chen Xin had just sent Xiang Wanning downstairs, and hurried back after receiving a call from Pei Jingzhou.

  As soon as Chen Xin came in, he saw Li Xiwu sitting in the middle of the sofa, legs crossed, arms crossed, as if asking questions.

  Mr. Pei, on the other hand, was sitting beside him, rubbing his brows with his fingertips, and smiling helplessly.

  Chen Xin was extremely disturbed, he stepped forward: "Madam, Mr. Pei."

  Pei Jingzhou took his hand away, raised his eyes to look at Chen Xin: "The person sent you away?"

  Chen Xin replied: "Mrs. He drove here by herself, so I didn't send it outside."

  Pei Jingzhou turned his face away and remained silent.

   This made Chen Xin, who was already nervous, his heart beat like a drum.

He swallowed, knowing what to say at this time, slowly lowered his head, and explained: "Ma'am, Mrs. He usually wears better clothes... and she always says things that are misleading on purpose, I'm afraid you will see She came to see Mr. Pei and had a misunderstanding."

Li Xiwu took a deep breath and spoke calmly: "Chen Zhu, you know what, I wouldn't think too much about it, just let me in, if it interferes with their conversation, I will avoid it myself, but you stopped me Not letting me in, delaying time, makes it easier for me to misunderstand and think too much."

  Chen Xin explained: "Actually, it is because of Mrs. He's history of superiority. She squeezed out Second Master He's original partner, which is disgraceful. It is because of Young Master He that she has some contact with Mr. Pei."

   Speaking of this, Chen Xin paused.

  Actually, those words should not be said by a big man like him.

  But there is no one else around now, if I don't explain clearly, I am afraid that Mr. Pei will not be able to pass the test.

  He carefully glanced at Mr. Pei's face, only to see Mr. Pei's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Chen Xin hurriedly continued: "Of course there are some lessons learned from the past. Even if Mrs. He succeeds in becoming the second wife of the He family, she is not very peaceful on weekdays. In private, she flirts with some married men and attracts her attention, causing other people's husbands and wives to be harmonious. I was also worried about this, so I…”

  Li Xiwu: "That's why you stopped me and didn't let me in, because I was afraid that Mrs. He's few words would irritate and mislead me, and affect my relationship with my fourth brother?"

  Chen Xin bowed his head: "I'm sorry madam, I didn't think about this matter."

  Li Xiwu suppressed the smile on the corner of his lips: "It's true that you didn't think about it, but your starting point is also correct."

  Chen Xin answered: "Of course, Ma'am, if there is any conflict between you and Mr. Pei, the whole company will suffer."

  Li Xiwu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is that an exaggeration?"

Chen Xin was ashamed, and glanced carefully at Pei Jingzhou's face, before he dared to continue: "Madam, you don't know that every time you come to the company, Mr. Pei is very happy, everyone in the company can see it, so everyone In private, you are Mr. Pei's candy."

   Li Xiwu murmured: "A candy."

Chen Xin lost the uneasiness just now, and spoke more briskly: "Sugar can make people feel better. It is a combination of physiology and psychology, and the human brain needs serotonin and adrenaline most. Sugar can make people feel better. Satisfy this need of the brain for the first time."

  Li Xiwu looked sideways at Pei Jingzhou.

  Pei Jingzhou propped his chin with his hands, and the corners of his lips smiled: "The employees are spreading it privately, it's not me who said it."

   Li Xiwu believed in this.

  Chen Xin also said just now that the employees found out through observation, but Li Xiwu didn't pay much attention to it. She rarely came to Pei Jingzhou company before, maybe two or three times in half a year.

   Explain clearly, there is nothing to do with Chen Xin, so Chen Xin will go out first.

  Li Xiwu noticed that Pei Jingzhou drank the glass of water she had drunk, took the glass and stood up: "You won't be thirsty if I don't come, but when I come, you will feel like you haven't drunk water for more than ten days."

  Pei Jingzhou leaned back on the sofa with a slightly tired expression: "The water my wife drank is sweet."

  Li Xiwu: "You are poor."

  The corners of Pei Jingzhou's mouth curled up slightly, and when Li Xiwu poured water over, he said: "Her name is Xiang Wanning, and she is the young wife that Second Uncle He Wang brought in when he knew his fate."
