The biological mother was recognized as a wealthy family, and the abstinent boss coaxed her every ni

Su Cheng choked up and said, "My dad..."

Pei Zhili frowned, "Why did he hit you?"

"..." Su Cheng pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not knowing how to open his mouth.

Pei Zhili sat down beside her and said, "Tell me."

Su Cheng's tears suddenly fell. Looking at Chu Chu's pity, he choked up for a while and said, "It's my dad... He told me before to ask you for help to get my brother into Chongyang Middle School. I never told you, so he asked me why I hadn't heard from him for so long, and then he took action."

Pei Zhili guessed that it was her family, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to live outside and I'll pay the rent?"

"But...I don't want to trouble you all the time with my affairs."

Su Cheng said guiltily, if she lived outside as he said, she would not be scolded or beaten anymore. Would he ignore her even more?

After all, he hadn't taken the initiative to contact her during this period. She had always thought that he loved her very much and had loved her for many years. But since that woman appeared, why did he become a different person?

So, in order to get his attention, she didn't hesitate to get slapped a few times. She called him with full of hope, and fortunately, he didn't completely forget about her and still cared about her.

"It's no trouble. You can move out tomorrow. I'll send you the address."

"Is this really okay?" Su Cheng looked worried. "If someone finds out, will they gossip?"

Pei Zhili looked at her in surprise, suddenly feeling that she was a bit strange. It was such a time, and she was still afraid of gossip. Her relationship with him was very close, and it was known to the whole school. Who would dare to gossip?

"It's decided. Move out."

Su Cheng bit her lip and finally couldn't help asking: "Then...what about the sister next to you? If she knew, would she misunderstand something?"

Realizing that she was talking about her mother, Pei Zhili paused and said, "No, she is my mother."

"What?" Su Cheng was stunned. That woman turned out to be his stepmother. Did she really succeed in taking the position?

I heard that Pei Zhili's father hadn't had sex with women for more than ten years since his wife passed away, yet that woman was able to move into the Pei family and become the mistress. Moreover, her relationship with Pei Zhili was so good that she thought they were in a relationship of man and woman!

Su Cheng's heart sank. If... the Pei family had such a young mistress, even if she married Pei Zhili in the future, many things would still be restricted and she would not have the final say.

From childhood to adulthood... she has been subject to too many constraints and oppressions. She really wants to get rid of this predicament, have power and status, and no longer have to be manipulated by anyone!

What a pity... But fortunately, that woman is just his stepmother.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Su Cheng said, and then he mustered up the courage to reach out and hold his hand. "Pei Zhili, before... I always treated you like that. Do you hate me?"

Pei Zhili looked down at her holding his hand. This was the first time she was so proactive.

Before, he would have felt better instantly, but now he didn't feel much. He remembered his mother telling him that he and Su Cheng were not suitable, and she didn't like him that much.

Now, she only took the initiative to show kindness to him because she needed something from him and needed to rely on him.

Pei Zhili's heart sank, and his chest felt a little stuffy. "How could it be? It's late. I'll take you home."

Su Cheng was stunned. He had just arrived, and instead of sitting here with her and comforting her a few more words, he was going to let her go back?

This is really not like Pei Zhili's style. He used to hope that she could stay with him longer.

She couldn't help but say, "So... fast?"

"My mother asked me to go back early."

Su Cheng, “…”

He listens to his stepmother so much?

This doesn't seem to be a good omen.

Because he and I are not a good match, if one day his stepmother asks him not to be with her, will he listen?

Pei Zhili drove Su Cheng back to the gate of an old residential area. Su Cheng got out of the car and looked at him reluctantly, thinking that he would say good night to her like before and told her to dream about him or something like that. But he didn't. As if he was in a hurry to go back, he turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and left.

Su Cheng felt empty again. He waited until the car completely disappeared from his sight before turning around and walking home.

When I got home, the first thing I saw was my mother Lin Xiuzhi's excited face. "My daughter, I saw Master Pei brought you back! How is your relationship going? Has your relationship progressed? Did he feel distressed when he saw the marks on your face?"

He only knew to ask this. Su Cheng felt a chill in his heart and replied perfunctorily, "Yes... He also told me to move out tomorrow."

"Really? Moving out means I want to live with you?" Lin Xiuzhi was even more excited, her eyes sparkling. "That's great! Living together is the easiest way to take a relationship to the next level. You should seize this opportunity!"

The meaning of this was clear as day. Su Cheng lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, "Got it."

Lin Xiuzhi winked at her playfully, "It would be best if you could get pregnant, preferably a boy. Then you'd be honored as a mother, and you'd have endless wealth and glory in this life!"

"What a great idea!" Father Su's drunken voice came from the living room. "Hurry up and give birth to a son! Then our family and the Pei family will become in-laws. I can't even imagine how great it will be!"

Su Cheng's younger brother was sitting on the sofa playing games. He sat up immediately after hearing this and began to imagine his future life as a young master. "Really? Sister, when you marry that Young Master Pei, it's okay for him to give us a few houses, right? I want to live in a sea view villa and play games in the best e-sports room!"

Lin Xiuzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with her son neglecting his studies to play games. In her eyes, her son was good at everything. As an older sister, Su Cheng would belong to someone else's family sooner or later. Before she got married, she should pave the way for her younger brother.

She just looked at her son dotingly and said, "You, can you be more ambitious? A few houses would satisfy you. Your sister's betrothal gift must be at least 18 million. Add a building or something, and we will have more money than we can spend every month just from the rent!"

Even before this happened, the three of them had already started fantasizing about their future rich life.

Su Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he went into the room and started packing his things.

As she packed her clothes into the suitcase, she thought about what Lin Xiuzhi had just said. Although her words were harsh, getting pregnant with Pei Zhili's child...was a good way to gain a foothold in the Pei family. Moreover, it was the most reliable method.

Even if Pei Zhili doesn't marry her in the future, as long as she has this child, she will definitely not live a bad life... right?
