Jiang Tingxia opened her eyes drowsily and picked up the phone on the bedside table. It was the real estate agent calling.
Pei Yanzhou also woke up in time. When he saw her answer the phone, a male voice came from the other end, and he frowned.
Who is this?
Before Jiang Tingxia could say anything, a big hand snatched the phone away. Pei Yanzhou said coldly to the other end, "I'm her husband. Who are you? What's the matter?"
intermediary:?
Jiang Tingxia glared at Pei Yanzhou, took the phone back, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I found a house, I don't need to rent one anymore, thank you."
After ending the call, Jiang Tingxia looked at the man next to her, "Pei Yanzhou, why did you grab my phone?"
Pei Yanzhou took it for granted, "Because the other party is a man."
He used to be a super jealous person, and he hasn't changed. Jiang Tingxia snorted, "How dare you say that? It's all because of you. You didn't trust me, kicked me out of the house, and wouldn't let me stay in a hotel. I had no choice but to find a way to rent a house. Fortunately, you woke up in time, otherwise..."
Pei Yanzhou knew he was in the wrong and quickly said, "Xia Xia, I didn't mean to kick you out. At that time, I..."
"Okay, let's forget about what happened before. But there's one thing you must explain to me!"
Pei Yanzhou said honestly: "Okay, what is it?"
Jiang Tingxia poked his chest and asked sternly, "Who was that woman you met in the coffee shop earlier? You said you wanted to marry her?"
Pei Yanzhou didn't expect her to see it, and suddenly laughed, "She was the blind date my parents arranged for me, and I rejected her on the spot. As for the idea of getting married, it was to stop you from bothering me."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Jiang Tingxia said deliberately, and threw off the quilt to get up, but was carried back by Pei Yanzhou, "No, you must harass me, and you can only harass me."
The two of them stayed together for a while before getting up.
Pei Yanzhou watched Jiang Tingxia finish washing up and sitting in front of the dressing mirror combing her hair. Such a vivid and lively scene, overlapping with the previous one, appeared before his eyes again, making his eyes warm.
He tried his best to calm down and went into the bathroom.
For the first time in so many years, he spent a lot of time and effort to take care of himself. He first shaved off all the stubble on his face, and then asked Butler Zhong to immediately call Tony, a top-notch hairdresser in the industry, to help him trim his long and messy hair.
After all this operation, Pei Yanzhou looked at himself in the mirror and finally found that he didn't look so shabby anymore.
However, when he touched the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his heart sank again.
It seems I need to take good care of myself, otherwise how can I be worthy of her?
Downstairs, Jiang Tingxia and Pei Zhili were preparing to have breakfast. She saw Pei Yanzhou coming down from upstairs and was suddenly stunned.
We've seen him look like a homeless man more often these days. Now he has shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, and worn a neatly ironed shirt and trousers, with the buttons buttoned meticulously, which is a refreshing sight.
Although he is no longer young, this is Pei Yanzhou, and he attracts attention wherever he goes.
But this is not enough, she wants to urge him to change all the bad habits he has developed over the years and turn him back into the handsome man with eight-pack abs!
When Pei Zhili saw him, he was also a little surprised, and then he said disdainfully: "Oh, grandstanding!"
He despised Pei Yanzhou's peacock-like behavior so much that he forgot that he had carefully taken care of his hair this morning.
Jiang Tingxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When Pei Yanzhou sat down beside her, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you offend your son? Tell the truth."
"How should I know? Ask him."
Pei Yanzhou couldn't remember when his relationship with his son plummeted, and they became more like enemies than father and son.
Pei Zhili clenched his fingers angrily, "Don't you know what you've done to yourself? I advise you to tell your mother the truth."
The father and son suddenly became tense and pointed at each other. Jiang Tingxia quickly said, "What are you doing so early in the morning? Stop talking to each other and eat breakfast!"
The father and son stopped fighting temporarily.
Jiang Tingxia brought Pei Zhili a strawberry jam sandwich and looked at him with a smile, "Xiaoli, Mommy will pick you up from school tonight, okay?"
Pei Zhili, “…”
He is already a senior in high school and is the boss of the school. Logically, he doesn't need his parents to pick him up. If this gets out, won't people laugh at him?
But he couldn't refuse at all, and even had a strong expectation in his heart, so he said awkwardly: "Okay."
...
After Pei Zhili left for school, Jiang Tingxia walked around the villa and said to the people around her, "Remove the wine cabinet in the master bedroom. No more drinking. Also, put some bouquets in the living room. It's lifeless now... The same goes for the garden. The trees are so tall, blocking the light. How about replacing it with a rose trellis, and a field of sunflowers and tulips?"
Pei Yanzhou was fascinated by her lively expression. He didn't care what she said. He just smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Butler Zhong, who was following behind the two of them, was stunned.
No way, Mr. Pei had said that this house carried the memories of him and his wife, and that it must not be disturbed. But now, it hadn't been disturbed at all!
What kind of magic does this woman have?!
The Pei family had a new mistress, and this news soon reached Jiang Suisui's ears through Butler Zhong.
"Uncle Zhong, are you telling the truth? Why did my dad suddenly find us a stepmother?"
This is what Butler Zhong was also wondering about. "I don't know either! I just feel that this woman is not simple. She was able to control your father and your eldest brother so well. I wonder if she has something on her. Sui Sui, you should also take it easy."
Jiang Suisui was very surprised. What kind of leverage could someone have on his father and elder brother that could be used against him?
She wanted to see who that woman was and what methods she had!
It was time to go home from school. After Jiang Suisui hung up the phone, she rushed to the school's piano classroom in a hurry.
At this moment, melodious piano music was coming from one of the classrooms. Several girls were crowded outside, all wanting to look inside.
Unfortunately, the classroom window was locked from the inside and the curtains were drawn tightly, so I couldn’t see anything.
The girls whispered, "Jiang Qixing's piano playing is getting better and better, but he always plays very sad songs that make me cry."
"Yeah, is he so withdrawn because he's having a hard time? Ah, pity."
"I've been in the same class with him for three years, and I feel like he hasn't said more than ten sentences."
"Oh, beauty is justice. Such a great face, even if it is mute, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Suisui put her hands on her hips and glared at them, "Who did you say was dumb? Say it again!"
When the girls saw her, they were startled and immediately scattered.
After they left, Jiang Suisui walked to the classroom door and knocked, "Second brother, it's bad, the sky is falling!"
