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

Jiang Qixing still lowered his head and fed the kitten carefully, and replied lightly, "Yeah."

There really is a stepmother.

Jiang Yuan thought the private investigator he hired was either lying or playing a joke. It was said that Pei Yanzhou was deeply devoted to his late wife and hadn't had any other woman in over a decade. He had even tried to get close to him, but he wouldn't take the bait.

But now, Pei Yanzhou actually found a woman, which made people curious.

Unfortunately, in the photos taken by the detective, the woman was wearing a hat and a mask, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. But judging by her figure and temperament, she must be a very beautiful woman.

"Then what kind of person is your stepmother? She actually managed to win over your father, even though he's been single for so many years."

Thinking of Jiang Tingxia, Jiang Qixing paused. The soft and warm touch on his forehead seemed to still remain, making his ears warm. He quickly lowered his eyes and said, "Very good."

It's really good.

Jiang Yuan, “…”

This guy is really frugal with words. It's really hard to communicate with him.

However, even Jiang Qixing felt that a good woman must be extraordinary, and he suddenly wanted to see her more.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered something and continued to pretend to ask casually, "By the way, Xiaoxing, did you know that your dad was on a variety show?"

Jiang Qixing didn't know why he kept asking about his parents, and he was a little surprised. Her beautiful brown eyes raised and glanced at him lightly, with a hint of scrutiny.

"I know." He replied calmly.

Not only did he know, he also looked at it. Of course, he only looked at it for Jiang Tingxia, and as for Pei Yanzhou, the eyesore, he automatically chose to ignore him.

Jiang Yuan was very surprised. Jiang Qixing was a child immersed in his own world. He always turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only did things that interested him.

When he was a kid, he only liked to watch programs like Approaching Science, but now he is interested in that kind of dating variety show?

This was a windfall; maybe he could actually dig something out of him. Jiang Yuan continued, "Did you see it? Then do you know who your dad's assistant is? I think he and his assistant are quite... flirtatious. Finding you a stepmother, and then flirting with his assistant? That's not good, right?"

Jiang Qixing was silent for a few seconds, his expression unchanged, and he just said, "Very good."

He could feel that his mother was having a great time on the show, and as long as she was happy, that was fine.

Jiang Yuan, “…?”

"No, Xiaoxing, do you think your dad is doing this well?"

Jiang Qixing said nothing more, clearly not interested in the topic, nor did he want to discuss Pei Yanzhou with him. After feeding the kitten, he held it in his arms.

The cat rubbed itself into the quilt and squinted its eyes comfortably.

Jiang Qixing's usually cold and distant features instantly became gentle.

Jiang Yuan felt frustrated. Perhaps he was really wrong. He shouldn't have pinned his hopes on this kid.

I thought I could learn something about the Pei family from him, but I didn't expect that after knowing him for so many years, I couldn't get him to open up his heart and tell him everything, so as to alienate the relationship between this guy and Pei Yanzhou.

His original thought was, if Pei Yanzhou saw that his son had a better relationship with someone else than with him, his biological father, would he be very angry?

Who knew that this kid didn't care about his dad at all, nor did he care about his friend of different ages, but only cared about the broken cat in his arms!

Jiang Yuan was annoyed at the thought, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he smiled and said, "Xiao Xing, how about uncle take you to a place? I guarantee you'll like it."

Jiang Qixing then raised his head and looked at him, with a hint of doubt in his clear eyes.

...

Jiang Qixing didn't come back until evening.

Jiang Tingxia glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky was gloomy and light snow was falling. The ground was covered with a thin layer of white.

She took out her cell phone worriedly. Jiang Qixing had sent her a message at noon, saying that he would be back in the afternoon, but he had not arrived home yet.

What's wrong? Is it the same as Xiaoli's last time? His phone is out of battery?

These brats are so annoying.

She called Jiang Qixing, his phone was not turned off, but no one answered.

Two minutes later, she called again.

This time the call went through, but a strange male voice came from the other end, "Hello?"

Jiang Tingxia was stunned. "Who are you?"

The other person's voice was very nice, like that of a young woman, and what was even more interesting was that Jiang Qixing's note for her was: Mom.

Is this the stepmother?

It is really not easy to get Jiang Qixing's recognition.

"I'm Jiang Qixing's friend. He's busy and doesn't have time to answer the phone, so I'll answer it for him. Do you mind?"

Jiang Tingxia immediately realized that he was the person Xiaoxing said would give him a cat. Perhaps it was intuition, but even though the other party was polite, she didn't have a good impression of him.

Mobile phones are personal belongings. Why did he answer Xiaoxing's call on her behalf? Did he ask Xiaoxing?

She smiled nonchalantly, "I don't mind. But can you tell me where Xiaoxing is? He hasn't come home so late, and we're all a little worried."

"He's at..." The other party gave an address. "He said he hopes you can come pick him up. Oh, his phone is out of battery. So please come as soon as possible. We'll wait here."

Jiang Tingxia wanted to say something, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

When I unplugged it again, it was already turned off.

It seemed like she really had to go over there. She suddenly became even more curious about what kind of friend Xiao Xing had made that she could stay with him for so long...

...

The place the other party mentioned was very far away. About half an hour later, Jiang Tingxia got out of the car and looked at the pet hospital in front of him.

This is where Xiaoxing will come and stay for a long time.

Jiang Tingxia saw the furnishings inside through the glass window, but she didn't see Jiang Qixing, so she walked in.

Pei Zhili beside him hurried to catch up, still complaining indignantly: "He's not a child, can't he go home by himself? Why do you have to come and pick him up?"

Jiang Tingxia glanced at him sideways, saying playfully, "Then I'm the adult, and I can go out on my own. I don't know who was worried enough to follow me."

Pei Zhili choked and said stubbornly, "It's not because I'm worried, I'm just... it's boring to stay at home anyway!"

Jiang Tingxia laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. You didn't come here because you were worried about me, you just followed me because you were bored. Now that I know the truth, I'm about to cry."

“…” When Pei Zhili met her watery eyes, he suddenly looked embarrassed.

Could it be that he's really sad and disappointed?

He is also a bad talker. Why should he deny it? He did follow because he was worried!

He pursed his lips and finally admitted dryly, "Okay, I admit, I'm worried about you."

Jiang Tingxia smiled, "That's right. There's nothing to be embarrassed about expressing your true feelings directly, especially to your family, right?"

Pei Zhili snorted, "Tsk, I won't say such disgusting words to them."

Telling her that's the limit.

At this moment, a gentle and polite voice came over, "Hello, are you... Jiang Qixing's mother?"
