Zheng Rong also returned on the same day as his mother.

  But Zheng Rong said he was taking a high-speed train, also in the afternoon.

  At dinner time in the evening, Hua Yun said: "Then you go pick up your mom, I'll take Lu Lu to pick up Zheng Rong."

  Lu Lu, who was eating, raised her head and said, "Mm."

  Next to Lu Lu was a stroller, on which A Fei's eyes were staring fixedly at the dining table in front of him, perhaps because he was hungry, his hands kept reaching forward. He made "wah wah" sounds with his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say, even though he couldn't speak yet.

  Lu Lu was very impatient and directly held him in her lap, "Can't you be still for a bit? Are you done yet?!"

  Hua Yun furrowed her brow: "What are you yelling at him for? He can't understand anything right now."

  Song Yuqiao listened to A Fei who was originally fine, started crying again, put down his chopsticks, "I'm full, come on, let me hold him."

  Song Yuqiao really felt that this child was quite pitiful, Lu Lü had given birth to him and raised him, but definitely didn't like him either, just using him as a tool for seeking benefits. Whoever knew about it wouldn't feel good in their heart. However, the only good thing is that this child would probably never understand what it means to like or dislike something, now and in the future, ten years later, twenty years later, he would still be like this.

  Thinking of this, I suddenly feel a pang of sadness.

  Song Yuqiao carried Afei to another empty seat, picked up a toy car from the stroller, and left Hua Shuang and Lu Lu talking.

  Hua Yun looked at Lu Luan: "That child, what are you going to do?"

  Lu Lu ate a piece of fresh bamboo shoots from her plate and said, "Just do it then. Can't just throw it away, after all, it's my flesh and blood, the child I carried for ten months and almost died giving birth to."

  Hua Yun shook her head: "But I don't think you want this child, you're so strict with him. He's only one year old, even if he doesn't have any brain problems, what does he understand? Now is the time to teach him to speak, simple words like 'dad' and 'mom' should be learned."

  Lu Lu didn't say anything and just kept her head down eating.

  Dad? Who is he calling dad?

  Song Yuqiao held Afei in his arms, holding a toy car in front of him and coaxing him for a while. The little guy finally stopped crying, but with tears hanging from his eyelashes, looking quite pitiful.

  Song Yuqiao sighed and hugged the disabled child tightly.

  She suddenly thought of Pei Huan Yu, perhaps when Pei Huan Yu was a child, he often cried and made a fuss, but didn't know who comforted him.

  Just thinking of it, Pei Haoyu called over the phone.

  "Jiao Jiao, where are you now?"

  Song Yuqiao heard Pei Hangyu's childish voice and couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth upwards, "Have dinner with your Aunt Hua Shuang, and then go back after dinner."

  Bai Hangyu smiled mysteriously and said: "Qiao Qiao, guess where I am now?"

  ………………

  Pei Hang-yu asked this because her father brought her to the restaurant where Qiao Qiao was having dinner to pick up Song Yu-qiao.

  The car stopped in the shade outside, Pei Hangyu held his dad's phone and listened to Song Yuqiao say several locations on the other end of the line. He laughed and shook his little head, saying "Nope, guess again."

  Pei Si Cheng directly took the phone from Pei Hang Yu's hand from behind, put it to his ear and said: "How much longer until you finish dinner? I'll be waiting for you outside in the car."

  Bai Haoyu pouted, extremely disdainful.

  He just said a couple of words more than Qiaoqiao, and Dad is being too petty.

  Pei Si hung up the phone, and Pei Hao Yu had already slipped out of the car. "I'm going to find Qiao Qiao!"

  "Jiao Jiao!"

  Bae Ho-young ran over with what he thought was a flying leg, but actually had short legs, and looked like a small meatball rolling on the ground.

  But when he ran past a table and saw another little kid in Qiao's arms, his face fell.

  Why is there another little friend?! Unhappy!

  Then Pei Hangyu ran over and the first thing he did was to pounce on Song Yuqiao's body, opening his arms for a hug.

  Song Yuqiao said: "Auntie is holding Afei now, Xiaohuo you go stand aside obediently for a while."

  Pei Hangyu walked over, stood in front of A Fei, stretched out his hand to shake hands with this little friend, "Why does he look like an alien? Nice to meet you, little alien."

  Song Yuqiao just smiled and didn't correct Pei Hangyu's way of calling her, it was the innocence that should be preserved among children. She stretched out her hand to hold Afei's small hand, "This is brother, call him brother."

  However, Ah Fei merely made two "Woo" sounds and didn't hear what was being called.

  "I'm a big brother! Call me big brother quickly, follow big brother and you'll have milk to drink!"

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Bai Haoyu also had his first close contact with a child over one year old, and felt that Afei's hand was so small and soft, thinking it was very interesting.

  "Whose baby is he?"

  "This is your Aunt Lu's treasure."

  Lu Lu, who was walking over from the other side of the table, heard this and let out a cold laugh. She bent down to pick up Ah Fei from Song Yu Qiao's arms, looked at Pei Huan Yu, and said: "This is the treasure, right?"

  And this child, even if he grows up, is just a useless waste who doesn't understand anything.

  Hua Yun didn't drive, but she didn't take Pei Shichen's car either. Instead, she had Lu Lu send her back.

  For Pei Shi Cheng, I still feel a bit stuck in my heart and need time to calm down. Not seeing him is the best choice.

  ………………

  Lu Lu had known about Hua Zhen's feelings for Pei Si Cheng all along, and when she saw Song Yu Qiao get into Pei Si Cheng's car and drive away first, she secured Ah Fei's child safety seat in the backseat and casually asked: "Didn't you always like Pei Si Cheng? Why are you here to pick up Song Yu Qiao now?"

  "It's all in the past now, I don't like it anymore." Huazhen lowered her head to look at her phone and casually opened a popular Weibo account to start browsing.

  Lu Lu secured the seat and sat in the driver's position, fastening her seatbelt. "Because of Song Yuqiao?"

  "No," Huazhen said, "I gave up myself, let alone this, I don't want to mention it."

  Lu Lu stopped talking.

  The atmosphere on the way was a bit stiff, I don't know if it's because of the issue between Hua Zhen and Lu Lu about Ah Fei, or the later mention of Pei Su Cheng.

  All the way to the Tang's mansion, those who drive keep driving, and those who play with their phones on the side continue playing.

  Huajiao got out of the car after unfastening her seatbelt. "I'm getting off, drive carefully on your way."

  Lu Lu didn't say a word and just sat still in the driver's seat, motionless.

  Hua Yun took two steps forward, feeling that something was not quite right, so she turned around and walked back, tapping on the windshield of the driver's seat. Lu Lü remained still.

  Hua Yun sat back in the passenger seat, "Lu Lu?"

  Lu Lu lowered her head, motionless, with her shoulders slightly heaving.

  Hua Yun suddenly felt a little scared, "Lu Lu, don't scare me, I didn't mean anything just now, it's just that you asked too many questions and annoyed me. Now I really don't like Pei Su Cheng anymore."

  Hua Yun stretched out his hand and put it on Lu Lu's shoulder, who had been crying from the start. Suddenly, she buried her face in the steering wheel and sobbed loudly.

  The child behind seemed to be affected and also started crying.

  At this moment, Hua Xuan really felt it, and maybe Lu Lu asked those questions without any malice, but she was alone with a child like that, and it was really too hard.

  These years, Lu Lü's life abroad alone is really something that she and Song Yuqiao can't feel, and only by experiencing it personally will you feel bitter in your heart.

  After crying, Lu Lü pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears and smiled at Hua Zhen: "It's okay now, I've cried it out and felt better. Just now, I just felt that my heart was blocked and I couldn't hold on anymore."

  "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing that can't be persisted," said Hua Xuan. "You suffer first and then it's all sweet afterwards, it's all fair."

  Lu Lu didn't say anything.

  Huā Jiàn stretched out her arms and gave Lú Yuè a hug. "I and Yú Qiáo, we will both be your best friends."

  "Uh-huh."

  However, Hua Xuan did not notice that Lu Lian's back had stiffened slightly just now.

  Lu Lu drove back and parked the car in the parking lot downstairs. She ignored Ah Fei behind her, got out of the car directly, leaned against the car door and lit a lady's cigarette.

  She never thought that life's hardships were equal.

  Some people are born with a silver spoon, they don't have to think about anything, just move their fingers and they'll have money, beauty and many admirers flocking around them, like Song Yuqiao and Hua Zhen. But she was destined to suffer from the moment she was born, and is still suffering now.

  The scales of fate have never been fair.

  Smoke curled, Lu Lü only took two puffs, then stared blankly at the shrubs in front of her, until the cigarette ash in her fingers was about to burn her fingers. She furrowed her brow and flicked off the ash with force. The ash fell on her fingers, scorching them, causing her to wrinkle her brow again, before she tossed away the cigarette butt.

  The kid in the car started crying again, Lu Leng felt annoyed and didn't want to bother with him anymore. He lit another cigarette, this time not spacing out but taking big puffs one after another, as if trying to inhale the smoke into his lungs, like a nicotine addict.

  Lu Lu had lived alone outside for many years, and she also had a kind of abnormal sensitivity. She stood in one position for a long time, suddenly feeling that there was a gaze behind her.

  However, she didn't immediately extinguish her cigarette, but instead finished smoking it, threw away the butt, and then turned around.

  As expected, they locked eyes with each other.

  It's Ye Zenan, I don't know how long he has been standing behind me.

  Ye Zenan got off from Lu Lü's car and was already standing behind her.

  He actually saw Lu Lü unintentionally because his apartment suite was in this neighborhood, and Lu Lü happened to buy a house here.

  Lu Lu turned around, extinguished the cigarette, and pretended she hadn't seen anything. She opened the rear car door, took out the child who had been crying all along, turned around, and went straight upstairs.

  Ye Zenan followed behind.

  "Lu Lu, I know it's you. Last time in the restaurant, it was also you. Don't pretend not to recognize me. Even if you turned into ashes, I would still recognize you!"

  Ye Zenan narrowed his eyes, he felt that Lu Lu's feeling was different from a few years ago, with makeup on her face and high heels on her feet, just now she came to see him, still smoking.

  Lu Lu pressed the elevator button and switched the hand holding A Fei to the other side: "Ye Ze Nan, right? What do you want with me?"

  Ye Zenan grabbed Lu Lü's arm: "What are you back for? Do you still want to harm Song Yuqiao? Don't even think about it!"

  Lu Lu smiled, because she had just cried, so the makeup on her face was all smudged, and the mascara was clumped together in a mess on her eyelashes.

  "When did I ever harm her?"

  In Ye Zenan's eyes, a dark and sinister glint was welling up, as if venomous liquid was about to spill out. He really couldn't believe that there were people like this, who would do something but not dare to admit it.

  "In Song Yuqiao's home, there was something wrong with the glass of water you gave me!"

  The elevator had come down, and Lu Luan took a step forward wanting to get on, but was pulled back by Ye Zenan who grabbed her arm from behind.

  Lu Lu said coldly: "Yes, there is a problem. I just want to let Song Yuqiao see that her boyfriend, whom she loves the most, got into bed with her best friend."

  Ye Zenan directly raised his arm, but when it fell, it coincided with the face of a baby in Lu Luan's arms, which was different from ordinary people. His hand movement paused for a moment.

  "How come you're not hitting him?" Lu Luan sneered, "Oh, forgot to introduce, this is my son, he's a retard. If you want to see what he'll look like in the future, no need to wait for the future, just go take a look at those retards on the street, they all look the same."

  After finishing speaking, Lu Lü took advantage of Ye Zhenan's momentary loosening of his grip and got into the elevator.

  Ye Zenan was slightly stunned and followed him up.

  Lu Lu pressed the button for the thirteenth floor, and as the elevator doors closed, she continued to say: "I know what you want to say, this is all my own doing, and the consequences are reflected in the child. Never mind, anyway I won't live much longer."

  "That's not necessarily true, troubles can last for a thousand years." Ye Zenan sneered and looked at Lu Luan in the elevator mirror, asking: "Aren't you afraid that Song Yuqiao will find out?"

  "Was it just me back then?" Lu Liao's face was expressionless. "You also know that Song Yuqiao has amnesia now and has forgotten that memory, so do you want to go tell her in person? Fine, you can go see if she can take it."

  Ye Zenan's right hand curled up and clenched into a fist before slowly loosening.

  Lu Lu really hit the nail on the head and struck Ye Zenan's mind.

  He wouldn't take the initiative to speak, nor would he want Song Yuqiao to wake up that part of her dormant memories. He'd rather let her and his high school love affair remain in those two years of beautiful time, without any impurities mixed in, preserving only the purity, not wanting anything like this to happen again.

  "What was your reason for doing so in the first place?" Ye Zenan asked.

  "I like you, I just want to snatch you away from Song Yuqiao's side."

  "Do you think I would believe it? Someone who can trample on the rich second generation with one foot, would you like me?"

  Ye Zenan remembered very clearly, in fact, even if Lu Lu was not Song Yuqiao's friend, he would have known, because the two boyfriends Lu Lu had been with before were his classmates, but after being dumped, they both scolded Lu Lu as a bitch, saying that this woman simply had no heart.

  The elevator door opened and Lu Luan lifted the child in her arms up a bit, possibly adjusting its position, uncomfortable, Ah Fei cried out twice.

  She carried the child down the elevator and said, "No reason, just didn't look good."

  Ye Zenan said to Lu Lus back: "Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

  Lu Luan's footsteps paused as she walked forward, "Retribution has already come."

  China Garden

  Since Song Yuqiao bathed Pei Hangyu, Pei Hangyu's little friend no longer wants to bathe himself. Every time he takes a bath, he calls Jiao Jiao.

  This time, Pei Si sternly frowned: "Go wash yourself! You're so old, still letting adults bathe you!"

  "I won't wash myself, I'll let Qiaoqiao wash me!"

  Pei Hangyu turned around and hugged Song Yuqiao, giving his dad a back of the head. This was Pei Hangyu's most habitual action when facing his dad now.

  Song Yuqiao looked at Pei Si Cheng's furrowed brow, which could pinch a fly to death, and reached out to smooth it, "Little Huo sweated today, I'll help him wash his hair."

  After finishing speaking, Song Yuqiao squatted down, took off Pei Haoyu's slippery clothes, and carried him to the bathroom to take a bath.

  It's strange to say, but before, Bae Hwan was the most hated bath, especially washing his hair. Every time he washed his hair, Bae Seung would want to throw this little guy directly into the toilet and flush him down, but now, it has completely changed.

  Just two days ago, Pei Hangyu filled out a form given by his classmate that was similar to a yearbook. To his surprise, he saw the words "taking baths" written in the interests column.

  Pei Si stood at the bathroom door, watching Song Yuqiao move a small stool to sit beside the bathtub, applying shampoo to Pei Haoyu's little head. Pei Haoyu splashed water everywhere, getting Song Yuqiao's face and body completely wet.

  Bathing Pei Hangyu is simply washing himself, with foam still on his hair.

  Song Yuqiao took out Pei Hangyu, wrapped him in a bath towel, and turned around to see Pei Si Cheng standing at the door, leaning slightly. She handed Pei Hangyu over to Pei Si Cheng: "You tell him stories and put him to sleep, I'm going to take a shower, my whole body is wet."

  Pei Si Cheng held Pei Hang Yu in his arms and said a sentence, but didn't make a sound.

  Song Yuqiao was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

  Pei Sicheng leaned over directly and lay on Song Yuqiao's ear, "I also want you to help me take a bath."

  Song Yuqiao's face suddenly turned red, and she covered Pei Si Cheng's face with a towel before turning around and leaving Pei Hao Yu's small bedroom.

  Bai Haoyu was unhappy and didn't know what his dad said to Qiaoqiao, but she left with a red face! Curiosity is killing me!

  "Dad, what did you tell Qiaoqiao?! I want to hear it too!" Pei Haoyu grabbed his dad's clothes and shouted at the top of his lungs, as if intentionally shouting for Song Yuqiao, who had already left, to hear.

  Song Yuqiao had taken a bath, and then blow-dried her hair in the bedroom. She tidied up the bed, but Pei Si Cheng hadn't come over for dinner yet. So she went out to take a look at Pei Hangyu's small bedroom first. The lights were already off, and the little guy was sleeping with his mouth half open, drooling almost.

  Song Yu curled up the corners of his lips.

  What about Pei Si?

  She went downstairs and found Peis lying on the sofa with a remote control in his hand.

  "Why don't you go to sleep?" Song Yuqiao walked over, turned around and took a look at the TV, it was actually an entertaining comedy show, she smiled, really didn't expect that Pei Si Cheng would still like watching this kind of TV show.

  Paisong Cheng threw away the remote control, then pulled Song Yuqiao over, and Song Yuqiao was pulled onto his body. The neckline of this nightgown was relatively large, directly exposing half of her shoulder, and the softness on her chest was pressed against Paisong Cheng's hard chest.

  Song Yuqiao turned around and glared at Pei Si Cheng: "What are you up to again?"

  Pei Si's one hand pressed down on Song Yuqiao's firm and upright buttocks, while the other hand grasped her waist which was currently twisting about restlessly. "Isn't your mother coming back tomorrow?"

  Song Yu nodded, "Uh-huh, tomorrow afternoon's flight."

  She glanced at Pei Si Cheng's somber eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to go pick her up?"

  Pei Si Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "Do you want me to go?"

  "You want to go, then go, what's it got to do with me?" Song Yuqiao turned away, struggling to get up. "After all, your legs are attached to your own body."

  Pei Si held Song Yuqiao's waist and kissed her forehead, "Have you ever mentioned me to your mom?"

  Song Yuqiao blinked her eyes and said, "Yes, I told her that I have a new boyfriend and even sent your photo to her."

  "What did your mom say?"

  "You're very handsome."

  "What do you think?" Pei Su gently adjusted the necklace hanging from Song Yuqiao's neck with his fingers, because he had previously instructed Song Yuqiao that this necklace could never be taken off, no matter what. Song Yuqiao was very obedient and didn't even take it off when showering.

  "Very handsome," Song Yuqiao smiled and poked Pei Si Cheng's chest with her finger, "Why are you so concerned about my mom's opinion of you?"

  "My future mother-in-law, how can I not care?" As he spoke, Pei Si Cheng had already flipped over, pinning Song Yu Qiao beneath him. His hand, which was pressing down on Song Yu Qiao's buttocks, had already slipped into her sleeping gown and yanked off her underwear. His lips were already buried in the valley of Song Yu Qiao's chest. "I care more about you."

  ………………

  The next afternoon, the originally scheduled trip to Thailand was cancelled. Pei Si called Xue Miao: "I and Yu Qiao can't go."

  "Why?" Xue Miao was slightly surprised, all the flights had already been booked.

  "My mother-in-law is back from abroad, I have to go pick her up myself." Pei Si stood tall and looked down at the flow of people outside the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, reaching out to touch the lush green leaves of a potted plant.

  This green plant was bought by Song Yuqiao a few days ago.

  Ever since Song Yuqiao arrived here, every day he would put some small things in his office, but it looked very pleasing to the eye.

  Xue Miao on the other end of the phone snorted twice, "Your mother-in-law is coming, aren't you going to be exposed?"

  Pais's fingers applied some force, and her fingernails left a crescent-shaped mark on the green leaves of the potted plant. She then stroked it gently with her finger.

  Xue Xiao said: "Song Yuqiao's mother, I've met her before, she's really not a good woman to deal with."

  Pei Si Cheng's voice was calm and unruffled as he said, "I know this better than you."
