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

The store manager was puzzled and asked, "Young Master Pei, what's wrong?"

Jiang Tingxia was even more surprised and asked, "What's his name? Is it Pei Zhili?"

Seeing her agitated, the store manager became even more confused and said, "Yes...yes, Young Master Pei comes to our store from time to time, and every time he comes specifically to buy strawberry cakes."

It matches...it all matches.

Jiang Tingxia realized it later. No wonder she felt like he looked familiar when she saw him for the first time.

No wonder he has been targeting her and causing trouble for her. It seems that he is just like his father and regards her as a scheming plastic surgery girl!

No wonder he asked her to make strawberry shortcake, and no wonder he had such a strange reaction when he tasted the shortcake...

It turned out that he was Xiaoli, her beloved eldest son, who was far away and yet right in front of her!

Jiang Tingxia's heart was beating violently, her eyes quickly turned red, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She hurriedly chased after him, but Pei Zhili was no longer outside.

Jiang Tingxia took a deep breath. It didn’t matter. She already knew that he was Xiaoli. It was only a matter of time before she saw him again.

It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. I hope Xiaoli can accept her.

……

In the hospital, a pale light was on above the corridor. Pei Zhili hurried over here, pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old was leaning against the head of the bed in a hospital gown. She had long, soft black hair, a pure and beautiful appearance, a fair and small face, and delicate features. She was the type that made me feel pity for her.

When she saw Pei Zhili, she seemed a little nervous. A trace of helplessness flashed in her big eyes, and her hands hidden in the quilt clenched quietly.

The middle-aged woman beside her immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Xiao Li is here. With your arrival, Xiao Cheng's injury will be half healed."

She was Su Cheng's mother, Lin Xiuzhi. Pei Zhili greeted her and walked to the bedside, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiuzhi scolded him, "She was hit by an electric scooter on her way home from school today. She fell off the bike hard and hit her calf. She's bleeding profusely. She just had an X-ray and the doctor said it was a mild concussion. She's been hospitalized for observation overnight."

Pei Zhili looked at the girl. Her leg was bandaged with gauze, and purple bruises could be vaguely seen on the edges. It looked like she was seriously injured.

"I asked you to take my car back, but you didn't want to. Would I eat you?" Compared to his usual nonchalant and indifferent look, Pei Zhili now looked serious and his tone could even be described as gentle, with a hint of concern and nervousness. "Does it still hurt?"

Su Cheng didn't say anything and pursed his lips stubbornly.

Lin Xiuzhi patted her arm lightly and said, "Xiaoli is talking to you!"

Su Cheng then whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Pei Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Be careful next time."

"I'm fine. You don't have to accompany me. You can go back."

"You kid, you just said it would be nice if Xiaoli was here, why are you saying this now?"

Lin Xiuzhi glared at her, then looked at Pei Zhili with a smile, "Xiaoli, girls are shy and always say one thing and mean another. So, you two chat first, I'll go buy some food."

Pei Zhili nodded.

Lin Xiuzhi deliberately created a world for the two of them. Su Cheng thought that Pei Zhili would pester her and say some overbearing and rude words that she didn't like to hear, just like usual, such as ordering her to take his car to and from school in the future. If she didn't want to, he would use some methods that she couldn't accept to make her submit... In short, she had to spend a lot of effort to deal with him every time.

Unexpectedly, he was a little abnormal today. He just sat down beside the bed, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not speak for a long time.

She didn't know what to say to this young man whom she both feared and hated, and the room was silent for a while.

Pei Zhili's mind was in a mess. He cared deeply about Su Cheng, but now all he could think about was the woman who looked exactly like his mother, and the little cake she made...

That woman was really scheming. She had put in a lot of effort to become his mother's substitute. He would never allow such a person to appear in his home. But if the old man insisted on marrying her, what would he do?

Suddenly, Pei Zhili had an idea and his eyes darkened.

Lin Xiuzhi bought two bags of dumplings and came back. Seeing that the two were silent and Pei Zhili seemed distracted, she asked in surprise, "Xiaoli, what's wrong?"

It's strange. He usually cares about Su Cheng very much, but why does he seem absent-minded today? I don't know what he is thinking. Could he have fallen in love with another girl?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Xiuzhi suddenly became nervous, "Did Xiaocheng say something to upset you?"

Pei Zhili reacted, "No, I was thinking about something."

Then he turned to Su Cheng and said, "It's getting late. Have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Besides, he will meet that woman tomorrow.

Doesn’t she want to see Pei Zhili?

Then let her see it!

...

The next evening after school, Jiang Tingxia finally waited for Pei Zhili to come out of the school.

Pei Zhili was wearing a white shirt and blue school uniform trousers as usual, with one hand in his pocket, looking very casual.

There was no expression on that handsome, three-dimensional face, and his whole body exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away. He looked like someone who was not to be messed with, but he still attracted the attention of many people, especially girls.

The more Jiang Tingxia looked at him, the more handsome he seemed to her. Putting aside the filter of his biological mother, Pei Zhili was indeed handsome. He stood out among a group of people and had been a celebrity in the school since he was a child.

She couldn't bear to look away, her eyes were hot.

I never thought that the cute little girl who loved to cling to her mother and act like a spoiled brat would grow up to be a boy who is much taller than her. She has become a little adult...

Pei Zhili also saw her at a glance, and he said impatiently: "Aren't you looking for Pei Zhili? I am him!"

He expected to see surprise or anger on the woman's face; after all, he had tricked her. Unexpectedly, she showed no surprise, but simply stared at him intently, a look of emotion on her face, as if she had been reunited after a long separation.

Pei Zhili, “…”

What the hell is she doing? Why is she looking at him like that?!

He said angrily: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

This was the first time Jiang Tingxia had officially met her grown-up son. She took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes seriously. "Xiao Li, I just want to tell you one thing. I am your mother."

what?

Pei Zhili seemed to have heard a huge joke, "You are my mother? Then I am still your father!"

"You're so disrespectful! If you don't believe me, go get a DNA test. Do you dare?"

"Why should I go for a checkup with you? You're sick!"

As expected, he didn't believe her either...

Jiang Tingxia's heart sank. Her son was right in front of her, yet she couldn't recognize him. He even thought she was a liar and that she was sick. Could anything be more frustrating than this?

Since the play failed, Pei Zhili lost interest and stood up to leave.

Jiang Tingxia quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Little gift!"
