Pei Yuling was recently annoyed to death by the gossipy women of the Ye family, but she couldn't directly retort because of her reputation.
Because Ye Zhenan had told the Ye family about his marriage, and Song Yuqiao had moved out as the second miss of the prestigious Song family, although she was no longer recognized by her own family. However, through private investigation, this information could still be found, and due to the influence of the Song family, it made others in the Ye family wary. Then they would make Song Yuqiao drink medicinal soup every day, all for the purpose of getting pregnant with the first grandson of the Ye family, to have a powerful guarantee.
Later, through Xu Wanli's pregnancy, it was also told to the Ye family that even the B-ultrasound sheet showing that Xu Wanli's belly had a boy was taken out. Now, although they said they would never discriminate between boys and girls, if they heard that the child in their belly was a girl, they would inevitably feel disappointed.
However, at this time, firstly, Ye Zenan and Song Yuqiao are divorced, secondly, Xu Wenyi has miscarried.
Earlier, when Ye Jia San's sister-in-law called over the phone, Pei Yuling just smiled, but her smile was somewhat perfunctory.
"What's going on? Yuling, this is a family matter, how could something so big happen without you saying a word to us? We had to hear it from rumors and gossip instead of hearing it directly from you."
"Nowadays, I can no longer make decisions for the younger generation. Alas, they all think I'm a nagging mother, so I've grown old and let things be that don't need my interference. Let them do as they please."
The third sister-in-law on the other end of the phone laughed twice: "That's right, that's right."
That's it, this matter can be considered as having been muddled through.
Pei Yuling hung up the phone and her heart started racing. This matter had been coveted by the Ye family, who had been eyeing her and her son's control over the Ye Corporation as a widow with two orphans. What should she do? The people she had planted in the company, including those on the board of directors, had already taken action.
She thought that if there was no Song Yuqiao, it didn't matter, as C City had many large families. Using business marriages to promote stable status was not uncommon either. Moreover, three years ago her son married Song Yuqiao and now divorced her, all of which were done in a low-key manner. Adding to that, the last time Ye Zenan mentioned at a press conference that he would get married by the end of the year. In these six months, she had to help her son find a woman with both virtue and talent.
Pei Yuling began to look for a suitable girl in the circle, with the right age and appearance, from a matching family background. Suddenly, she thought of that girl who helped her with the hospital admission procedures, whose name seemed to be Qiao Mo.
Later, she came to deliver nutritional products twice more. She looked like a gentle girl and didn't seem complicated. In conversation, it seemed that she was the daughter of the chairman of the Suzhou Group.
Pei Yuling searched online and found that the chairman of Suizhou Group, Qi Kun, had only two daughters, one of whom was surnamed Qiao, after her late mother.
Shuo State Group is also a large group enterprise in City C. Pei Yuling checked and found that it was also well-known in the circle, let alone the fact that the chairman of Shuo State had two daughters, which meant that the property would be inherited by these two daughters.
Pei Yuling had already made up her mind, so she took her bag and went to the Ye Corporation headquarters, thinking that she would first go take a look at her son's recent state of mind, whether he still had any aversion to other women.
But she never expected to see Qiao Mo in Ye's company!
Joey in a business suit!
"Auntie, how did you come here?" Qiao Mu held several documents in her hand, and when the elevator door opened, she showed a very surprised expression, just like Pei Yuling.
Pei Yuling took a step forward and grabbed Qiao Mo's arm, "What are you...".
Qiao Mo first looked around, seeing that there was no one else, then pulled over Pei Yuling's arm and walked towards the tea room on the other side of the corridor where there were fewer people. "Auntie, I'm Ye Zong's secretary."
"Aren't you the daughter of the Songzhou Group? Why are you working as a secretary in such a small company?"
Pei Yuling's words are self-deprecating, and although Ye Shi in C City is not like Jia Ge, a common son of many large families co-founded, it will definitely not be a small company.
Qiao Mo lowered her head and said: "Because... I like President Ye."
Pei Yuling furrowed her brow, "That first time in the hospital..."
"I'm sorry, Auntie. Earlier, when I approached you at the hospital, it was on purpose," Qiao Mo's face showed a very conflicted expression. "I had investigated beforehand and knew that you were Ye Zong's mother, which is why I went over. Sorry, Auntie, I truly like Ye Zong, that's why..."
Qiao Mo said just one sentence and Pei Yuling understood everything.
Pei Yuling was also puzzled before, because Qiao Mo's appearance really made people hard to imagine, and it was a bit suspicious. She took the initiative to help her with the discharge procedures and temporarily put them aside, and even came to her home to deliver nutritional products. If it were an ordinary person who had just met, if not for some purpose, how could they do this?
Qiao Mo likes his own son?
Isn't this just what one has in mind?
Pei Yuling smiled and patted Qiao Mo's hand, "Good thing, what does Ze Nan think of you?"
Qiao Mo blushed and shook her head slightly.
Pei Yuling thought that if Ye Zenan knew Qiao Mo's intentions, he wouldn't have come to work at the Ye Corporation.
Qiao Mo's phone rang, she took out her mobile and glanced at the screen, which showed that it was Qu Kun, the chairman of Su Zhou.
"You go ahead and busy yourself, I'll go find Ze Nan first."
Pei Yuling had just taken two steps forward when Qiao Mo grabbed her arm from behind, "Auntie, please... don't tell Ze Nan about my identity, okay? I want to get close to him with a normal identity, not by trying to trap him with money."
Pei Yuling's eyes already had a hint of a smile, "Mm, okay."
As Pei Yuling walked towards Ye Zenan's office, Qiao Mo's fingers gradually clenched the file folder in her hand. She hadn't expected Pei Yuling to come over so early and bump into her head-on. However, she could only say that, or else Pei Yuling and Ye Zenan would see through her disguise.
However, it's inevitable that she would go to see Pei Yuling several times. As the lady of a wealthy family like Pei Yuling's, she definitely wouldn't be oblivious. Qiao Mo knew she could have taken her time and progressed gradually, but truly couldn't wait any longer.
Her hand involuntarily stayed on her lower abdomen.
Now she is only three months old, and after three months, before finding out the sex of the fetus in her belly, Ye Zenan will arrive.
She is really going all out.
The phone rang for a long time before Qiao Mo answered it. On the other end of the line was Qi Kun, the chairman of Su Zhou Group.
"I've booked a prenatal appointment for you at XX Hospital, and after work I'll have my assistant pick you up."
………………
Ye Zenan met his mother Pei Yuling in the office, which was not unexpected, as Pei Yuling had often come over before.
Pei Yuling still has Ye Zenan's father's former subordinates, and also holds shares of the Ye family, so she is naturally a major shareholder of the Ye family.
"Mom, you're here."
Ye Zenan raised his head from behind the desk, with several files laid out in front of him, all spread open, looking very busy.
Pei Yuling walked over with a smile, "Mom just came to see you, being busy in the company all day, also need to take care of your own body."
"Uh-huh, I know." Ye Zenan's tone was flat and even.
Pei Yuling said a few words and naturally brought up the topic of wanting Ye Zenan to pay attention to whether there were any girls he liked, preparing for their marriage at the end of the year.
Ye Zenan finally couldn't bear it anymore, slammed the pen in his hand on the table, raised his head and said: "Mom, I just got divorced, I don't want to fall in love again in a short time, can you not push me so hard?"
"Are you forcing me?" Pei Yuling was also a bit angry, for the tone her son had used, "As your mother, am I not doing this all for you now?"
"It would be better for me if you hadn't forced hypnosis on me in the first place! Let me forget my past memories!" Ye Zenan's mind was now a bit confused, "Mom, don't you know the harm that compulsory hypnosis and memory deletion can bring to people?"
Ye Zenan specially found a hypnotist for consultation and only then did he realize that hypnosis is about releasing the subconscious mind, rather than suppressing rational consciousness into the subconscious layer, resulting in cognitive impairment.
For example, deleting memories, such as the harm caused to Song Yuqiao. Afterwards, he will inexplicably develop uncontrollable emotions towards Song Yuqiao, occasionally losing control. However, he still clearly likes Song Yuqiao. In his subconscious, he may inexplicably fall in love with another person who resembles Song Yuqiao. This represents that the attachment still exists, but rational thinking cannot stop it, and the resulting harm may be even greater.
This greater harm, Ye Zenan has already felt it. During this period of time, he got drunk, smoked, had irregular meals, and sometimes even saw hallucinations, almost to the point of collapse.
Pei Yuling was at a loss for words. She too was thinking, wondering if she had done something wrong back then. However, things have come to this point, and she has never been the kind of person who only looks back.
Just then, the phone rang, and it was Mrs. Pei calling.
Pei Yuling hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
"Mom."
Pei Yuling hated this title very much, but her father Pei Linfeng had to let his children call Han Jing "mother".
Mrs. Pei said, "Yuling, why don't you bring Ze Nan home for dinner tonight and bring your daughter-in-law along? Old Three is bringing his girlfriend back today, it's a good opportunity for everyone to meet."
Yes, it's been three years. Pei Yuling has never brought this so-called Ye family daughter-in-law back to the Pei family. It seems unbelievable when said out loud, but that's the fact. She hasn't mentioned bringing her back, and it was actually Pei Linfeng who mentioned it once or twice, but each time something came up and it was delayed.
Pei Yuling neither agreed nor refused, only saying she would call back later before hanging up the phone.
Ye Zenan seemed to ask casually: "Is it a call from my grandfather's side?"
Pei Yuling nodded: "Yes, say that today your younger uncle brought his girlfriend back, let everyone go home for dinner."
Ye Zenan's pen, which was signing the document, suddenly drew a long stroke, and his eyes showed some surprise, but he quickly hid it before Pei Yuling noticed.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"Whether you go or not is fine, but don't you have any appointments tonight? If not, why don't you go back for a visit? Your grandfather said to bring your wife along... He still doesn't know about the divorce."
Yè Zé Nán said: "Then don't go, it would be another round of explanations, I have a dinner appointment with people from Sheng Shi tonight."
"Hmm, I'll just make up an excuse to get out of it later," said Pei Yuling, "But you also need to visit your grandfather's place often."
"Uh-huh, I know, next time then."
Ye Zenan lowered his head, his hand holding the pen trembling slightly, using less force than usual, with a slight ache on both sides of his temples and a darkening in front of his eyes.
He could imagine that this was Song Yuqiao's first time visiting the Pei family, meeting Pei Linfeng and Old Lady Pei. He would be nervous if his own mother and he himself were to appear at the same dinner table together, feeling both shocked and embarrassed.
No matter if they will meet again under the same roof in the future, at their first meeting, he would rather give Song Yuqiao a slightly more relaxed environment, which might only be temporary.
………………
Ye Zenan was right, Song Yuqiao was indeed very nervous. It wasn't her first time coming to the Pei family's mansion, she had come once before and even met Pei Sicheng's nanny.
But this time, she changed her clothes at home and is now in the car, nervously hearing the intense pounding of her heart beating loudly in her chest.
"Don't I really need to bring a gift?" Song Yuqiao always felt that for their first meeting, they should be more formal.
"Pei Si Cheng said: I have prepared two jars of good tea, and when the time comes, you can just give them to my dad."
"What about your mother?" Song Yuqiao said, "I'll pass by a specialty store, I'll go pick out a silk scarf."
"No need," Pei Si said with a steady tone, "just buy a few more stinky tofu for the old lady on your way back, and she'll be delighted."
Song Yuqiao: "...... Does your mom like stinky tofu too? The last time Zheng Qing asked me to bring some, there are still several coupons left from that store."
In the back seat, Pei Hangyu was holding a model airplane with one hand and muttering to himself, looking very happy that Qiaoqiao could go to grandma's house for dinner with him this time. He even made up a little ditty to amuse himself.
In front, Pei Ci Chen was driving, and Song Yu Qiao sat in the passenger seat.
Pei Si's hands grasped the steering wheel, occasionally turning his head slightly to see Song Yuqiao sitting upright and straight, her eyes fixed on the windshield in front of her, motionless.
"I'm going."
Pei Si Cheng called out, but Song Yu Qiao didn't respond.
"Summer is hot!"
"Huh?" Song Yuqiao's mind was blank, when he suddenly heard a voice from outside, and he quickly came back to his senses, looking at Pei Si Cheng's handsome profile. "Oh, I was just spacing out."
Then Pei Si Cheng didn't say anything else, still driving silently, the only sound left in the car was the little guy's muttering voice from the back seat.
Song Yu stared at Pei Sheng for a while, the lights and shadows outside the car window flashed by quickly, casting fleeting shadows on his cheekbones, under the light and shadow, his outline became more deep and three-dimensional.
Pei Si Cheng's face was quite thick, Song Yu Qiao stared at him for a long time, still calm and composed as he drove. If Pei Si Cheng looked at Song Yu Qiao like that for just one minute, Song Yu Qiao's face would definitely turn bright red, wanting to escape his scorching gaze.
The Pei family's mansion arrived, and Pei Si Cheng stopped the car in the parking lot inside the courtyard. He turned off the engine and turned around, just in time to meet Song Yu Qiao's gaze. "You've been staring for so long, still not enough? Tonight, I'll let you see your fill, okay?"
Song Yuqiao's mind had actually gone blank, staring at Pei Shichen was just an instinctive reaction. Now, suddenly hearing Pei Shichen tease her like this, she glared at him and didn't respond, opening the car door to get out first.
Pei Hangyu also climbed down from the back seat, ran over to Song Yuqiao with a bounce, and pulled her hand. "Qiao Qiao, don't be angry, my dad just has a bad mouth, so he was always beaten up in the past."
Song Yuqiao couldn't help but smile after hearing it, "Why?"
Pei Hangyu shook his little head: "You see my grandma, my grandma will tell you, she said that when my dad was a kid, he looked like a small bean sprout, and whenever he fought with others, he would always lose and then run back crying, waaah... and still need my uncle to help him fight... Ah, old dad, why did you kick my butt!"
Pei Song came over from behind, completely ignoring his son's complaints, and walked around to the left, walking alongside Song Yuqiao.
Bai Hangyu pulled Song Yuqiao's hand and said, "Qiao Qiao, I have a tooth inside that keeps shaking, will it fall out?"
Song Yuqiao squatted down, "Open your mouth and let Auntie take a look."
Bai Hangyu opened his big mouth, and Song Yuqiao took a look. "Maybe it's time to change teeth. The old teeth need to grow new teeth underneath, and the old teeth will fall out."
"Oh, I see." Pei Hangyu looked like he had finally understood.
As they were walking through the small garden in front of the main building, Pei Hangyu suddenly shouted that he needed to pee.
Pei Sicheng understood his son's meaning and said, "Go quickly."
Bai Haoyu's eyes lit up with excitement, haha, now he can pee in the tree holes again! He couldn't pee randomly on the streets, but this is his grandma's house, so he can pee wherever he wants and choose a few tree holes to pee in!
The crow on the tree cawed twice and flew away with a flap of its wings.
Song Yuqiao heard Pei Si Cheng say this, and had already frowned, "How can you let a little kid pee anywhere? You're too careless as a father..."
"Never mind him." Pei Si Cheng directly pulled Song Yu Qiao's hand and entered the small garden, stepping on the cobblestone path.
"You can't always be so neglectful of Xiao Huo, it's all because you're his father, this little sapling is going to grow crooked!" Song Yuqiao was pulled by Pei Si's hand on her wrist, and couldn't struggle free, so she could only follow him forward, but still couldn't help saying.
After walking under the lush tree shade, there was a swing in front of them. Pei Si Cheng pulled Song Yu Qiao to sit on the swing and squatted down with her upper body bent forward, "Then tell me, how can I be a good mother?"
Song Yuqiao pursed her lips and couldn't say anything more.
Compared to Pei Su Cheng, this mother is even more unqualified. At the beginning of Xiao Huo's birth, she ruthlessly abandoned her infant wrapped in swaddling clothes. Now when she thinks about it, she feels a heart-wrenching pain.
"I'm even less qualified to say this, no matter what happened at the time, I shouldn't have left the child behind," Song Yuqiao's eyes were slightly desolate, "Maybe it was just immaturity, maybe it was fear, not brave enough, when Xiao Huo was born, five years ago, I was only 19, now thinking about it, maybe I didn't understand anything at that time."
"If you were really afraid and not brave enough, then Pei Hangyu wouldn't have been born," Pei Si Cheng half-knelt in front of Song Yuqiao, raising his hand to hook the hair on her ear back, "No matter if you were Xia Chuchu or Song Yuqiao at that time, you would never be a deserter, and even less so in the future."
Song Yuqiao nodded vigorously: "Mm-hmm, I won't run away, I won't abandon Pei Xiaohuo again."
Pei Sicheng caught Song Yuqiao's words very sensitively and raised an eyebrow: "What about me?"
Song Yuqiao couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand to wrap around Pei Si Cheng's neck, and jokingly said: "I won't want you then, when I get angry, I'll take our son and leave, without even giving you a glance..."
The result was that this sentence had not been finished when it was sealed with a kiss by Pei Si.
Pai's kiss was domineering, his lips colliding with her teeth, leaving a slight pain. Song Yuqiao didn't have time to react, but as their tongues touched for a moment, she was captivated by his kiss, her mind starting to spin, yet the remaining rationality reminded her that this was the Pai family's mansion, and if they were seen by others, it would be...
"Old Three, what are you doing here?"
It's really afraid of what comes, Song Yuqiao heard the sound of others again, his eyes suddenly widened, and the light waves reflected in his black pupils were fluctuating. His arms pushed against Pei Si Cheng's chest twice, but Pei Si Cheng still had a smile at the bottom of his eyes. When he retreated, the tip of his tongue lightly brushed against Song Yuqiao's lips, as if to relieve the numbness and pain caused by the forceful biting just now.
The sky had already darkened, and the small garden had lights, but they weren't very bright. Under this dim light, it was impossible to see Song Yuqiao's blushing face at that moment.
Mrs. Pei just happened to be out for a stroll in the small garden when she came across one of those scandalous affairs that people often gossip about.
The old lady covered her eyes, leaving only a slit between her fingers.
It's really a shame and a scandal. If this person were one's own son, it would be a different story altogether.
Mrs. Pei rubbed her hands together, chuckled and curiously looked at the girl who was blocked by her son, "Son, if you really can't help it, isn't there a room over there? Isn't this outdoor adventure in broad daylight not quite right?"
Pei Si Cheng: “......”
Song Yuqiao: "......"
At this moment, if a black mole is attached to the corner of Mrs. Pei's mouth and a thick makeup is applied, it will look exactly like an old prostitute in ancient brothels, now known as "Mama San".
Song Yuqiao's heart had already turned upside down, because the old lady in front of her was clearly the nanny from Pei Si Cheng Hua Garden, so why did she call Pei Si Cheng "son"?!
But just a moment later, Song Yuqiao had completely understood.
It's really hindsight!
This should be Pei Si Cheng's mother, from the first time they met at Hua Yuan, when she was delivering stinky tofu and it was her who opened the door, so I should have known then that it couldn't possibly be a nanny. Pei Si Cheng had said before that his family never hired a nanny, otherwise how could their home be in such disarray.
Now how are we going to meet and explain? The first impression is probably ruined, no wonder Pei Sheng just said to buy a few more stinky tofu for the old lady, it turns out that Pei Sheng knew about it all along, but had been keeping it from her.
Song Yuqiao glared at Pei Si with a scowl, her eyes full of blame.
She stood up from the swing, smoothed out her skirt, took a step forward and smiled, nodding "Hello Aunt."
Mrs. Pei's eyesight wasn't too good, especially on a dimly lit evening like this, but she recognized the voice as familiar and stared at Song Yuqiao's small face for a while before realizing who it was. "Oh, you're that delivery guy! How did you get close to my son?"
Song Yuqiao: "......"
She really can't speak well, at this embarrassing time, it's better to leave it to Pei Su himself to explain to his mother.
Pei Si Cheng took a step forward, "Mom, you misunderstood, she is the woman I have been thinking of, and previously also lived in Hua Yuan, it was you who always recognized her wrongly."
Song Yuqiao silently added a sentence in her heart: I also admit my mistake.
Mrs. Pei listened to her son's account and nodded, "Oh, I see." She thought for a moment, "Not bad, from now on we'll have free stinky tofu every day."
Song Yuqiao: "......"
The three people on this side went out of the small garden together and went straight to the main building, but they all forgot that there was still a Pei Huaiyu who was looking for tree pits everywhere.
Bai Hangyu walked a bit further and urinated in two tree holes. When he came back, his dad and Qiaoqiao were nowhere to be seen. The Holy Array was destroyed.
His little head drooped down, his small fist clenched and pounded against his own chest, the force was a bit too strong, and he coughed three times.
How careless!
He let Dad take Qiaoqiao away, and he was left alone at Grandma's house again. He didn't want to stay! His little brain thought for a while, should he go find Qiaoqiao or eat something first? Just as he was thinking, his stomach growled twice.
The little foodie rubbed his belly, okay, let's go to grandma's small kitchen to fill up first, then go find Qiaoqiao!
………………
This was Song Yuqiao's first time entering Pei Si Cheng's parents' home, and unlike the last time in the old mansion of the Pei family, the decoration here seemed to have a more playful feel, with some pink decorations, and on the wall in front, there was even a pink rabbit ear hanging.
Mrs. Pei saw Song Yuqiao's gaze fall on the rabbit ear headband, and with a flash of inspiration, she walked over, took it off, and put it on her own head, "Isn't it cute?"
Pei Si Cheng silently rubbed his forehead.
Song Yuqiao smiled: "Mmm, looks good."
Mrs. Pei was overjoyed as soon as she heard it, and thought to herself that if her future daughter-in-law said so, then she must be really good-looking! One should trust the eyes of one's daughter-in-law!
Pai Linfeng came down from upstairs and happened to see his wife wearing a pink rabbit ear hair clip on her head. He frowned: "Take off that thing on your head, what does it look like."
Mrs. Pei turned around: "I don't! All the daughters-in-law said it looks good! Your outdated taste is old-fashioned!"
Daughter-in-law?
Pei Linfeng was really helpless with his old partner, hadn't even seen the person yet, and already decided it was a daughter-in-law? Still need to ask clearly first. However, he was also used to his old partner's personality, anyway, now at home, he was both in charge of internal and external affairs.
Mrs. Pei looked at the old man staring at her, with a face full of displeasure, and hummed, "I've decided, I'm going to wear this rabbit ear headband for an entire evening! I'll wear it while eating dinner and even sleep with it on!"
Pei Linfeng stroked his beard and said, "Suit yourself, as long as you don't mind the cramped space."
Pei Si had already gotten used to seeing Old Master and Old Madam quarrel, but Song Yuqiao found it quite surprising. Originally, she was still nervous and afraid that Pei Linfeng's serious expression would make him say something unpleasant, but she really hadn't expected that there would be such a completely unexpected other side of him.
From the direction of the bathroom, Pei Yu Bai washed his hands and walked over, seeing Pei Si Cheng and Song Yu Qiao. In his heart, he already understood that this was putting things in plain sight, only temporarily not knowing how clear it was.
Song Yuqiao took a step forward and handed over the tea canister in his hands: "Chief, this is for you."
Pei Linfeng sized up Song Yuqiao for the third time, having seen her once at the stinky tofu shop entrance and once in the hospital. His impression of her remained that she was a pretty clean girl, but he still didn't know what to make of this divorced woman.
Song Yuqiao's hands were frozen in mid-air, but Pei Linfeng didn't seem to intend to take them, which made her feel a bit awkward.
Mrs. Pei walked over and nudged her old husband with her elbow, "Stop pretending, the young people gave us gifts, so we'll accept them. Here, girl, I've accepted it."
Mrs. Pei took the paper bag and pulled out a can of tea leaves, "Hey, these are all old men's favorite teas, aren't there any for me?"
Song Yuqiao: "......"
It's done, I said that we need to buy a silk scarf for Pei Shu Cheng's mother, but Pei Shu Cheng said it's not necessary.
Pae Hwi-baek twitched at the corner of his mouth as he watched from one side, where did this kind of opening come from to ask someone for a gift.
Even his own son can't stand it, let alone Pei Linfeng, he's almost foaming at the mouth.
Pei Si Cheng was very calm and stretched out his palm to Qiao Song, "How about the few free vouchers for the old lady?"
Song Yuqiao went "oh" and took out a free stinky tofu coupon from his wallet. Pei Si Cheng directly took it over and handed it to Old Lady Pei, "Mom, will this do?"
Mrs. Pei took the free coupon, looked at it and saw "Li's Stinky Tofu", then handed over the two expensive cans of tea to her old husband, smiled and said: "Good kid, it's still free, daughter-in-law, what's your name?"
Pei Linfeng was completely speechless about his foodie partner, and didn't even know the other person's name...
Song Yuqiao had made a self-introduction and it was time for dinner, originally just a family gathering together to have a meal.
It seems like one little guy is missing.
"Where is my grandson?" asked Mrs. Pei.
Two adults had not yet responded when a sudden burst of barking outside already answered Mrs. Pei's question.
"Let me go get Pei Hangyu," said Pei Yibai.
Bai Haoyu bounced in, played with the big dog Beier for a while, and had already forgotten the unpleasant experience of being thrown to the back by his dad and Qiaoqiao. He ran over directly, "Qiaoqiao, have you seen my uncle's big dog? It's called Beier, and it's tied up on the tree stump outside."
Song Yuqiao looked at Pei Haoyu's blackened hands and grasped his small hand to get up, "Go wash your hands first."
Pei Hangyu obediently followed Song Yuqiao to the bathroom, and while walking, he said, "Qiao Qiao, can you help me persuade my dad? I also want to raise a dog son, just like Uncle."
Pei Yunbai: "......"
That's not my son! Can't you stop misleading the old lady like that? It's infuriating!
Bai Linfeng wasn't too surprised by this scene, because he had seen the girl with Bai Haoyu before in the stinky tofu shop, and she had completely tamed that little overlord.
On the contrary, Mrs. Pei's jaw almost dropped to the table, it was really strange, washing hands before meals used to be as difficult as going to school, how did she become so obedient now?
"Hey, sis, aren't you coming back home for dinner today?"
Mrs. Pei was quite regretful, picking up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, "He called to say he had something on and couldn't come back, we only see each other a few times a year, old man, next time it's your turn."
At the dinner table, because of a little guy, sometimes talking about Grandma's rabbit ears on her head, and sometimes talking about Uncle's dog, the atmosphere was still harmonious, and Song Yuqiao's tension in his heart dissipated a bit.
After dinner, Song Yuqiao helped take the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and Mrs. Pei repeatedly praised her, "Good daughter-in-law."
Pei Hangyu nodded his little head on the side and chimed in: "Yes, yes! Qiaoqiao's egg pancakes are delicious!"
Mrs. Pei was shocked, "Yu Qiao can still cook?! She actually knows how to cook?!"
“……Hehe.”
Apart from you, which woman can't cook?
So, that sentence "to capture a man's heart, first grasp his stomach" is completely useless when it comes to Mrs. Pei. The things she likes to eat, Pei Linfeng doesn't like at all, especially that stinky fermented tofu, eating one piece would be enough to take her life.
Pei Linfeng called Song Yuqiao up to the study, there was something he wanted to say.
Song Yuqiao's heart skipped a beat, "Yes."
She followed Pei Linfeng up to the second floor, with Pei Si Cheng following behind her. Behind him was a small black head of Pei Haoyu, moving quietly and carefully. Further back was a pair of delicate rabbit ears belonging to Old Lady Pei, who was bent at the waist, trying to minimize her presence behind her grandson.
Pei Anbai stood downstairs, really wanting to take a photo of this scene with his mobile phone, or, follow them up to make up the numbers?
Second floor, in front of the study.
Pei Linfeng looked back and saw that Song Yuqiao was still following the main force, and he became angry: "I called for Song Yuqiao! Are you all called Song Yuqiao?!"
Mrs. Pei touched her nose and pulled over her grandson in front of her, actually just wanting to come up and take a look at the excitement.
