His appearance startled Pei Yanzhou awake. He immediately pushed Jiang Tingxia away and took several steps back.

Realizing what he had just done, he quickly reached out and wiped his lips vigorously.

What is he doing, how could he do such a thing?

As early as the year Jiang Tingxia died, he decided that he would never fall in love with other women in his life, and would not even have any involvement with them. But now, he actually broke his promise.

Is he worthy of Xia Xia? !

Pei Yanzhou regretted so much that he sobered up a little and wanted to kill himself.

His temple was throbbing and his head seemed to hurt even more. He turned around and stumbled to find medicine.

And the moment Jiang Tingxia was pushed away by him, even though he should have pushed her away, a trace of hurt flashed across her eyes.

Pei Zhili glanced at Pei Yanzhou and sneered disdainfully, "Did you see that? This kind of scumbag who gets a taste of the sweetness one second and then turns his back on you the next, is also an alcoholic and in poor health. I don't know when he'll die. What are you doing here with a guy like him? Can you eat something good?"

Jiang Tingxia stared at Pei Yanzhou pouring a bunch of medicine into his mouth. Even though he was angry, his heart suddenly ached.

How on earth had he treated himself during all these years that she was away?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Zhili said, "Hey, you really don't consider a brother like me?"

Before Jiang Tingxia could say anything, Pei Yanzhou shouted angrily, "If you like her, take her away! Don't show up in front of me again!"

"That's what you said. Auntie, you saw it too. He doesn't want you at all, so..." Pei Zhili laughed evilly, "I don't want you either."

He looked like he deserved a beating, as if a prank had succeeded. Jiang Tingxia really wanted to pull his ears off!

She clenched her fingers and gritted her teeth, saying, "You two both have that serious disease! Pei Zhili, I'm asking you one last time, do you want to go with me for a DNA test?"

Pei Zhili didn't understand why she was so obsessed with this. He didn't know where her confidence came from. She must have bribed the appraisal agency.

Pei Zhili sneered, "I think you should get your brain checked!"

This father and son were truly incorrigible and hopeless. Jiang Tingxia had already lost his patience. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, don't regret it. When the time comes, even if you two beg me to test you, I won't!"

She couldn't rely on these two people anymore, so she wanted to go find Xiaoxing and Suisui!

Of course, the father and son would never tell her where they were now, so she had to figure it out on her own.

She turned and went downstairs. Pei Zhili looked at her from behind and said sarcastically, "You're giving up just now? It seems you're just like that. You have no perseverance, and you still want to be my stepmother?"

Who wants to be his stepmother, this unfilial son!

Jiang Tingxia pretended not to hear and quickened her pace. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she met Butler Zhong and immediately asked him, "Butler Zhong, do you know where Xiaoxing and Suisui are?"

Butler Zhong naturally had no good face for this woman who often harassed Pei Yanzhou and Pei Zhili. Was it not enough for her to make trouble here, but she also wanted to harass the Second Young Master and the Young Lady?

The second young master has been a special child since he was young. He is not talkative and cannot stand any stimulation. He usually lives alone and only comes back during the holidays. He seems to have no feelings for this family.

The young lady was originally quite well-behaved, but she broke up with her husband because of premature love half a year ago and has not returned from boarding school for a long time.

Butler Zhong said unhappily, "No comment!"

Even though Jiang Tingxia offered him a generous reward, he was unable to pry any information out of this loyal butler.

Jiang Tingxia walked out of the villa disappointedly. Winter was approaching, and the wind was blowing with a chill, which made her heart feel cold.

Where should she go to find Xiaoxing and Suisui?

Would they be willing to acknowledge her?

Jiang Tingxia's mind was so full of this that he didn't notice a black luxury car driving towards them.

When the car passed by her, the old lady sitting in the back seat glanced at her inadvertently. The next second, her face turned pale with fear and she almost fainted!

What the hell happened in broad daylight?!

She wanted to see more clearly, but Jiang Tingxia's figure just walked to the corner and quickly disappeared in the rearview mirror, as if he had never appeared.

The old lady was extremely shocked and suspected that her eyesight was blurry due to her old age, but it was so real!

She was still in shock, and the first thing she did when she entered the villa was to shout in panic, "Ayan! Ayan! I...I think I've seen a ghost!"

Looking around, there was no sign of Pei Yanzhou.

Pei Zhili came down from upstairs and guessed that she must have met Jiang Tingxia. He said calmly, "Grandma, there are no ghosts in broad daylight. You must be dazzled."

"Really?" Old Mrs. Pei fell into self-doubt.

After thinking for a long time, I felt that I must be seeing things. Otherwise, how could I see Jiang Tingxia, who had been dead for more than ten years?

Unless she comes back to life!

But this kind of thing is even more outrageous than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Mrs. Pei stopped thinking about it and asked him, "Where's your dad? Didn't you introduce him to the granddaughter of your grandfather's friend before? Now she's interested in him. I've tried to contact him several times but haven't been able to. I wonder what he's doing."

Pei Zhili knew that his grandparents had wanted to find another woman for Pei Yanzhou over the years. He didn't understand why they had to have all of his mother's things cleared out, but why did they have to let another woman replace her?

He snorted, "You think it's fun to bring three burdens with you? You have bad intentions!"

"How can you say that? Xiaoli, don't resist. Look at what this family has become. We still need a mistress. Don't worry, grandpa and grandma will help keep an eye on things. If your dad really remarries, your stepmother will treat you well."

"What if I say that I don't agree with him finding a stepmother for me?" Pei Zhili said in a dangerous tone.

Mom is the mistress here, and she will always be. If anyone dares to replace her, he has plenty of ways to torture that person and make them regret their decision!

"Xiao Li, you're still young and don't understand. A family must have a mistress to be considered complete..."

The old lady tried to brainwash him, but Pei Zhili showed no interest and turned away. The old lady's preaching got stuck in his throat, so he had to go find Pei Yanzhou.

Pei Zhili returned to the room alone and took out the old pocket watch from the drawer.

After opening it, a photo of him and his mother came into view.

His mind kept replaying the images of Jiang Tingxia making him a cake, her pulling his ears, and her protecting him...

The first time everyone saw her, even her grandmother who didn't like her, thought she had returned.

Who is she?

Pei Zhili was lost in thought. After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have figured something out. He suddenly stood up, held the pocket watch tightly in his hand, and walked out quickly!
