Chapter 3

C3 – Humiliation!

In the future, whenever he read other novels, as soon as he grasped their essence, he would grow stronger without cease.

“This is nowhere near enough. My abilities are too weak, but I’m certain I can become much more formidable. Then, Yuner won’t have to endure hardship and humiliation by my side.”

With this thought, Pei Yu felt a spark of hope ignite within him. And with that, he made his way slowly toward his house.

Come lunchtime, Pei Yu decided to head back to get ready for a visit to the hospital to see his sister.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Upon entering the Ke family mansion, he was greeted by the sight of two women and a man seated in the living room.

His stern in-laws and the icy Ke Lianxi were there, all eyes on him as he walked in.

In the dining room, Mrs. Qian was busy preparing the meal.

Pei Yu sensed their hostility—it was the eerie quiet before a storm, yet he was unafraid.

“Let’s all start with lunch.”

Mrs. Qian couldn’t stand to hear any more, shaking her head repeatedly.

Poor Pei Yu. Being a son-in-law was no easy task.

Ke Lianxi’s gaze was icy as she addressed Pei Yu, “How are you?”

Touched by Ke Lianxi’s words, Pei Yu felt a glimmer of warmth. Despite her cold demeanor, they were still married, and she showed a hint of concern for him.

“I’m fine,” Pei Yu responded hastily.

“I was asking about your situation at school, not your injuries. Spare me the nonsense.”

Ke Lianxi chastised Pei Yu just as he insisted he was fine.

She had no interest in his physical well-being; her concern was with his professional responsibilities at school.

“You’ve been skipping work for days. Are you planning to live off my daughter’s money? Remember, we’ve already spent over half a million on your sister’s medical bills. If you prove to be of no further use, you might as well pack your bags and leave the Ke household!”

Fei Ning’s finger was so close to Pei Yu’s face it nearly touched his nose.
