Shedding Her Multiple Identities, the Fake Daughter Bullies Rascals

Chapter 29: Saving Up

Mu Qiannian was like a steamed crab. She glared at Pei Mingchen and returned to the private room.

However, Gu Jiajia was no longer there. Mu Qiannian dialed Gu Jiajia’s phone. “Where are you?”

The sound of the wind and the honking of the horn could be heard from the other side.

“I saw that you guys didn’t come back for half an hour, so I left first. I thought you guys didn’t plan to come back at all.”

Mu Qiannian was stunned. “Why wouldn’t you come back? We haven’t finished eating yet.”

Gu Jiajia chuckled wretchedly. “I thought that with Pei Mingchen around, you guys wouldn’t be able to return to the private room at all.. Instead, you guys would directly go to the next door.”

The next door was a hotel…

Mu Qiannian was strangely quiet for a long time before she suddenly pressed the hang-up button.

“Eh?!”

‘Why was Gu Jiajia’s mind filled with trash?!’

Mu Qiannian and Pei Mingchen were innocent, even in her previous life.

Except for a few kisses in this life, it was much cleaner than what Gu Jiajia had in her mind.

Pei Mingchen came in and saw the angry Mu Qiannian.

“What’s wrong?”

Pei Mingchen held her waist, rested his head on her neck and shoulders, and rubbed against her intimately.

Mu Qiannian felt a little itchy and subconsciously wanted to avoid him. However, Pei Mingchen noticed her and rubbed his head even harder.

“What are you doing?!”

Mu Qiannian raised her hand and patted Pei Mingchen’s head. Although she was angry, his heart was extremely soft.

“Since your friend isn’t eating, why don’t the two of us eat?”

Mu Qiannian nodded. “We can’t waste it. Let’s finish eating quickly and go home.”

“Okay.” Pei Mingchen sat down with a smile on his face. He no longer had the resentment he had at the beginning. Instead, he looked satisfied.

The next morning, the doorbell rang.

Mu Qiannian wanted to get up, but Pei Mingchen stopped her.

“I’ll go open the door. The food I ordered should be here.”

Food?

Someone was delivering food so early in the morning?

Mu Qiannian was already awake, so he was no longer sleepy. He got up, put on a coat, and walked out of the bedroom.

Looking at the food piled up on the dining table, Mu Qiannian was extremely surprised.

“Why are there so many dishes, including crabs and lobsters?”

Pei Mingchen casually opened a bag, and it was either a pile of matsutake with soil or a box of caviar.

Looking at their exquisite packaging, Mu Qiannian could feel that they were very valuable.

“You want to eat all of them? Are you sure you don’t want to invite some important guests?”

Pei Mingchen did not seem to realize that something was wrong and nodded at her naively.

“I won’t let anyone come to our house. These are for the both of us.”

Mu Qiannian’s lips twitched when she heard this. Thinking about the price of the food in the bag, her heart ached.

This was not eating food at all, but eating money!

However, when she saw that Pei Mingchen was in a good mood and was carefully storing the food in the fridge, she held back her words of admonishment.

How could an ordinary person afford to eat like this? Fortunately, it was a pressure that she could bear with her hard work.

However, when she saw Pei Mingchen walk to the door and pick up a whole piece of Jinhua ham that was half the size of a person, Mu Qiannian was completely stunned.

“You, are you going to hug it and chew on it?!”

Pei Mingchen shook his head. “Of course not. This taste is not bad. Add one or two pieces for breakfast and it will definitely be delicious.”

When Mu Qiannian heard this, she smiled helplessly. “But buying a whole piece is too exaggerated. If you want to eat it all, you can just buy a small piece.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Mingchen, who was originally full of vigor, suddenly became listless.

“Do you think I’m spending too much money? I think it’s interesting to eat like this.”

Mu Qiannian was silent for a moment before surrendering first. “Although there’s a possibility of bankruptcy if you continue eating like this, I think I can still afford it.”

“No need. I have a job. I can afford all these,” Pei Mingchen said as if it was a serious matter.

Actually, he did not buy these for himself. He wanted Mu Qiannian to eat well.

When Mu Qiannian heard this, she thought of the food that Pei Mingchen had put in the fridge just now. She pinched his chin and looked serious.

“I think if you just bought the food for both of us, it’s going to be hard to finish it!”

Mu Qiannian was not exaggerating at all. The Jinhua ham that was half the size of a person could not be bought without 5000 yuan.

Pei Mingchen nodded in disappointment and said pitifully, “If that’s really the case, then I’ll try my best to save some money.”

Mu Qiannian was extremely conflicted, but she still could not bear it.

Mu Qiannian took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit in her heart was ignited. Since Pei Mingchen wanted to eat, then she would work hard to earn money. She could not let him eat anything that was bitter.

Hence, that afternoon, she ordered several kinds of expensive fruits.

When the food was delivered, Pei Mingchen opened the door.

He looked at Mu Qiannian, who was sitting on the sofa and typing non-stop, and then looked at the pile of fruits at the door.

Pei Mingchen suddenly understood why Niannian suddenly became diligent.

After Niannian finished her breakfast, she went to the computer and worked non-stop. After lunch, she did not go to rest and continued working.

Mu Qiannian simply did not have time to bother with him.

Pei Mingchen could not help but feel a little heartbroken, but he still wanted to let Niannian eat something good. Hence, another thought came to his mind.

In the next few days, as long as the hotel’s fridge was empty, Pei Mingchen would be able to receive packages from his brothers in a timely manner.

Mu Qiannian looked at the foam box filled with live crabs in front of her. “Why do your brothers seem to be getting richer each time? Every time they send something, it’s either expensive or rare.”

Pei Mingchen did not care much. “Maybe it’s because they have different jobs. Some of them send over whatever they have. Today, this brother is in the seafood business. This box of crabs is nothing to him.”

Mu Qiannian could not help but envy Pei Mingchen’s circle of friends. They were really a gathering of heroes.

One day, it was Li Zhao’s turn.

Li Zhao came to visit with a live octopus as thick as a wrist.

When the door was opened, Mu Qiannian was stunned when he saw him and immediately called out his name.

“Li Zhao.”

Li Zhao nodded his head repeatedly. “It’s me, it’s me.”

He lifted the red bucket that had a lid on it, “This is the delicious food that I brought for Brother Pei and sister-in-law. It was just fished out and is still very fresh. The taste is even more amazing.”

As he spoke, he stepped into the room.

When he saw Pei Mingchen sitting on the sofa, Li Zhao called out, “Brother Pei.”

Pei Mingchen’s expression was indifferent as he nodded his head in response.

Li Zhao carried the red bucket to the kitchen sink.

“I can make a few dishes with this octopus. Each of them can taste different. I’m an expert at making octopus. Leave tonight’s dinner to me!”

As he spoke, he looked around for an apron.

Pei Mingchen, who was in the living room, heard Li Zhao’s intention to stay and cook, so he immediately stood up and walked over.

“You’ve already sent the octopus over, so you should go.”

Li Zhao stopped searching for the apron. “But…”

“No buts, hurry up and leave.”
