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

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Su Cheng was shocked by himself.

She always thought of herself as a good girl, so how could she come up with such a despicable method?

However, listening to the sound of the three people talking and laughing outside, Su Cheng felt that she was simply an unnecessary existence. She didn't want to go through a day like this.

She hated them and wanted to trample them all under her feet!

And getting close to Pei Zhili is the only way.

She hadn't had such a strong understanding before, so she had always resisted his persistence and even wanted to get rid of him. Now she realized that Pei Zhili treated her much better than this family.

That's right, only Pei Zhili can give her the life she wants. Her future depends on him. So, letting him be with her, even... having an intimate relationship with him and getting pregnant with his child, is indeed a shortcut for her to reach the pinnacle of life!

Su Cheng looked at the clothes in the suitcase and bit her lip hard. A certain thought in her heart became more and more firm...

...

Jiang Tingxia thought Pei Zhili wouldn't be back until at least midnight, so she was a little worried. She didn't want him to stay with Su Cheng for too long. Unexpectedly, it took only a little over an hour from the time he left to the time he returned.

He came back before ten o'clock.

When Pei Zhili came back, he saw Jiang Tingxia still curled up on the sofa watching TV. He was stunned. His mother had been waiting for him?

His heart suddenly felt warm, and he suddenly felt that there was someone waiting for him at home. It felt so good. He said to her while changing his shoes at the entrance: "Mom, I'm back."

Jiang Tingxia smiled at him, "Yeah, you're very well behaved. You didn't make me worry for too long."

Did she mean that she had just been worried about him?

Are you worried...that he will be used or deceived by Su Cheng?

Thinking of the slap marks on Su Cheng's face and her crying, Pei Zhili felt helpless and walked towards Jiang Tingxia, "I just went to see Su Cheng, that girl, you've met her before."

"Yeah, I guessed it. Then... would you like to tell me what happened that made you rush over there in such a hurry?" Jiang Tingxia spoke to him in a negotiating tone.

Although she didn't want them to be together, she still respected his opinion and wanted to hear what he thought before she could solve the problem.

Pei Zhili sat down beside her, lowered his eyes, and said truthfully: "She was beaten by her father. Her father asked her to ask me for help to get her brother into Chongyang Middle School. I didn't take it seriously."

In the past, he would solve any problems by himself and never share them with anyone. But now, he doesn't mind telling his mother at all. He knows that she has enough patience, is willing to listen to him, and will understand him instead of lecturing or blaming him.

Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Jiang Tingxia thought for a moment and said, "Do you think you are responsible for her being beaten?"

"..." Pei Zhili acquiesced, "I've been spending more time with you recently and neglected her. Actually, having her brother transfer schools is a small matter, but I didn't pay much attention to it. So, I have some responsibility for her being beaten."

"No, you are not responsible." Jiang Tingxia corrected seriously, "You have no obligation to help. I believe you know very well who that family is. They are just taking advantage of you. They are wrong, not you. Even if you help this time, Su Cheng will still be beaten for something else next time. Are you responsible for this?"

Jiang Tingxia patted his head and said, "I agree that you should stop helping."

"But if that happens, Su Cheng's life will be very difficult." Pei Zhili was silent for a few seconds. "I asked her to leave that home, but she seemed reluctant."

"If someone stays in that kind of environment for a long time, their tolerance will increase. They might even develop a people-pleasing personality. For example, she always agrees to her family's unreasonable requests, hoping to gain their approval. In fact, this only makes those people more aggressive."

Jiang Tingxia sighed, "She should learn to accept the fact that her family doesn't love her. If there's a chance to get away from them, she should grab it. If she's willing to be brave enough to escape from that family, I don't mind helping her."

Pei Zhili sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have gotten involved with her. It's my fault... I thought I could see some of my mother's shadow in her. I guess I was a little confused at that time."

Jiang Tingxia chuckled, "Isn't it normal for a child to miss his mother? However, placing such thoughts on someone else is indeed... a bit unkind."

Pei Zhili sighed again.

Jiang Tingxia raised her finger and tapped his forehead. "Why are you sighing? Are you trying to be mature? Since it has already happened, there is nothing we can do. What are you going to do?"

"I asked Su Cheng to move out and I paid her rent."

Jiang Tingxia nodded. "That's fine. Remember to tell her not to tell her family where she's going to live. Also, I'll have your father find two more bodyguards to prevent her family from causing trouble again. The college entrance examination is only one semester away. During this time, you should study hard and don't overthink it."

"Okay." Pei Zhili agreed without hesitation, and added: "I've fallen behind in previous classes, but I'm working hard."

"So good." Jiang Tingxia's smile widened. "It's okay, just try your best. If you're not satisfied with your test results, you can repeat the year. If you don't want to repeat, you can study abroad. Well, your family is rich, you can go to a top university."

It's a bit of a hack, but it's true.

But Pei Zhili frowned when he heard it, and said with a look of rejection, "I won't go abroad."

"Why? Many wealthy second-generations study abroad. They might meet a lot of like-minded people there. It wouldn't be bad to make friends with them."

"No." Pei Zhili was still very determined, "I'm going to apply to the university here."

There are many universities in this city anyway, so why should he go abroad alone?

He saw his mother again after being separated from her for more than ten years. He didn't spend enough time with her, so he was reluctant to leave.

"Take the test here?" Jiang Tingxia was a little surprised, and then suddenly understood. Could it be that this arrogant little brat didn't want to leave her as his mother?

She tried hard to suppress her laughter, "Why, you still want to stay with your mother at this age?"

"No?" Pei Zhili suddenly looked up at her, his face full of self-righteousness and a little embarrassed. "Anyway, I don't want to go abroad, and I don't want to leave this city!"

It is true.

Jiang Tingxia laughed out loud, "Okay, you can still stick to me now, but you can't stick to me forever. You will eventually grow up."

Pei Zhili looked at her smiling face and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

He really didn't want to grow up. It would be great if he could always be a child. He could stick to her without hesitation...

Jiang Tingxia thought of something, and said seriously: "By the way, Xiaoli, after you have settled Su Cheng, how about finding a time to take me to see her?"
