With a "click", the door lock opened.

Jiang Suisui pushed the door open and walked in. The empty piano classroom was very dark, with almost no light coming through.

Her second brother's habits have not changed. He has liked to stay in such a dark place since he was a child, and he doesn't even turn on the lights when practicing the piano.

In the dim light, the boy's handsome facial features were vaguely visible, and his slender fingers with distinct joints continued to dance on the piano keys.

He was playing a very sad yet beautiful piece of music. Jiang Suisui had no time to appreciate it at the moment. She quickly walked to the piano and asked anxiously, "Second brother, did Uncle Zhong tell you that a woman has moved into the house and that Dad has found us a stepmother?"

The boy played the piano without pausing, as if he hadn't heard her. His face, which bore a striking resemblance to hers, held the same indifferent expression.

"Brother, did you hear me? Uncle Zhong said that woman is not simple. She has Dad and Big Brother under her thumb. It's very strange!"

"I'm thinking about going back and seeing what that woman is like. If she's really weird, we have to expose her and defeat her as soon as possible!"

"Do you want to go back with me?"

Seeing that he hadn't responded, Jiang Suisui raised her voice, "Second brother, say something!"

The boy was annoyed by the noise and finally raised his glassy, ​​cold and distant eyes and said one word, "No."

Jiang Suisui was immediately furious. "I really can't count on you. Just stay here. I'll go find my brother!"

……

In the evening, Jiang Tingxia sat in the car, staring at the scenery passing by quickly outside.

I was so preoccupied with meeting Pei Yanzhou and the children that I didn't even realize how much the world had changed. The city's infrastructure was completely different now, with many more skyscrapers and a subway system running in all directions...

Pei Yanzhou sat beside her, looked at her fair profile, and clasped her fingers. "I'll find some time to take you for a good stroll so you can get familiar with this place again."

Then he added, "Shop more and use the card as you like."

Jiang Tingxia glanced at him sideways, "You haven't been working hard on your business these years. How much money is left in your card?"

Pei Yanzhou coughed lightly, as if feeling a little guilty. "It's enough to give you some time. Next, I will cheer myself up and work hard to make money."

He had indeed fallen too far in recent years, and now that she was back, he couldn't continue like this. Moreover, the old man had wanted him to take over the Pei family in his early years, but he had always been listless, and the old man was so disappointed with him that he never mentioned it again.

Jiang Tingxia said righteously, "There's no rush to make money. Take care of your health first, otherwise it will be useless."

Pei Yanzhou was so pleased with his wife's concern that his brows relaxed. "Okay."

When the car arrived at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, the students had already finished school and were pouring out of the school gate like a swarm of bees.

Jiang Tingxia spotted Pei Zhili at first sight. He was the tallest and most handsome one in the crowd. Coupled with his noble and arrogant temperament, his image was so outstanding that it was hard not to notice him.

Jiang Tingxia, who turned into a mother fan, sighed, "As expected of my son, he's so handsome. He must be the most handsome boy on campus, right?"

Pei Yanzhou said with a smug tone, "It doesn't matter whose genes it is."

Jiang Tingxia sneered, "Of course it's mine!"

"How did you know I wanted to say that?" Pei Yanzhou raised his lips, "Of course it's thanks to your genes that you can give birth to three good-looking children."

Guess he's interesting.

Jiang Tingxia was satisfied, lowered the car window, and waved to Pei Zhili, "Xiao Li!"

Pei Zhili was originally talking to his followers. When he heard her voice, he paused and looked towards the source of the voice.

In an instant, I was met with a bright smiling face.

Pei Zhili was stunned.

She really came to pick him up...

When he was a child, he was always picked up by a driver, and occasionally by his grandparents. Others envied him for riding in a luxury car, but they didn’t know that he envied them for having their parents to pick them up, especially his mother... Even when riding on the bus, the moment when his mother held his hand was definitely a happiness that he could never understand.

The followers recognized Jiang Tingxia and asked in surprise, "Boss, isn't that the woman who wants to be your stepmother? Is she calling you?"

Pei Zhili glanced over unhappily, "Isn't it possible?"

"Uh, no, no!" The followers didn't dare to mention it again, but couldn't help asking: "But Boss, what's going on? Is she really your stepmother?"

"She is my mother!" Pei Zhili said, and walked towards the car, leaving his followers looking at each other in confusion.

Pei Yanzhou occupied the back seat and the seat next to Jiang Tingxia. Pei Zhili didn't want to squeeze with this old man he hated, so he could only sit in the passenger seat reluctantly. Jiang Tingxia immediately moved closer to him and asked, "Xiaoli, how are you today?"

"So-so."

"Tell Mom about your studies?"

Speaking of this, Pei Zhili felt a little uncomfortable, "Not good."

"Why is it bad?"

"The last in the grade."

Jiang Tingxia's mouth twitched. This kid was quite honest. However, when he had someone impersonate him before, he had mentioned that his grades were not good, so she wasn't too surprised.

She patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "It's okay, this shows there's a lot of room for improvement!"

Pei Zhili, “…”

Pei Yanzhou, “…”

There is no need to praise it forcefully.

The car turned and drove towards Chongyang Middle School.

Jiang Tingxia was looking for topics to chat with Pei Zhili along the way. On the one hand, she wanted to get to know him better, and on the other hand, it was to... relieve the tension of meeting her second son and youngest daughter.

She spent a long time looking at the photo album at home today, looking at the photos of her children from childhood to adulthood over and over again, as if she could never get enough of them.

There is no need to mention Xiaoli. Xiaoxing and Suisui are also very good-looking. If she were alive at that time, she would definitely post a photo of them online and ask if the children could be child models.

There are quite a lot of photos of the twins when they were young, but there are fewer and fewer photos as they grew up, especially from the time they graduated from elementary school to now, there are only three photos, and they are family photos taken during the Chinese New Year.

Sui Sui stood beside Mr. Pei and the old lady. The little girl was smiling, and her smile was quite bright, but the young boy beside her...

Jiang Tingxia unexpectedly saw a frightening coldness and gloom in that overly beautiful face. His deep eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, not even on a festive day like the New Year, could they stir a single ripple.

Xiaoxing...is he very unhappy?

Jiang Tingxia's heart tightened, as if something was clutching it, and the urge to see them became particularly strong.

When they were about to arrive at Chongyang Middle School, Pei Zhili's cell phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, then picked up the phone and heard a sweet but urgent voice, "Hello, big brother!"
