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

Su Cheng apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault... Those debt collectors found me again, and I had no choice but to call him. Those people forced him to pay, and he... he refused, so he started fighting with them."

Sure enough, it was because of this girl again.

Jiang Tingxia felt very uncomfortable, "How is he?"

"The doctor said my spleen is ruptured, but luckily it's only mild. I need to stay in the hospital and rest in bed for a few days..."

Su Cheng was very glad that his injuries were not particularly serious. If he needed surgery or was in danger of his life, she didn't know how to explain to his family.

But she didn't expect that the beautiful sister she met last time was actually Pei Zhili's family member, and she came with his father. Could it be... his stepmother?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jiang Tingxia say, "I'll stay here with him. If there's nothing else, you can go back first."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "I won't leave. I'm going to wait here for him to wake up. After all, he was injured because of me."

Okay, let her be.

Jiang Tingxia pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. She reached out and touched Pei Zhili's forehead. Looking at his face full of injuries, her eyes felt a little sore.

As a mother, she doesn't want her child to be hurt in the slightest. At this moment, she would rather his hurt be transferred to her!

Pei Yanzhou stood behind her, patted her shoulder and comforted her, "He will be fine, don't be nervous."

"This is my son, how can I not be nervous? Who is like you, who has ignored the child all these years and let him grow up crooked!"

Pei Yanzhou, “…”

He suddenly felt guilty and quickly admitted his mistake to her, "Yes, I have been very wrong these years. I am here with you to accompany him."

Su Cheng felt a little redundant, so he quietly left the room and waited in the corridor.

Time passed little by little.

In the middle of the night, Pei Zhili slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in the ward. There was someone lying beside his bed, holding his hand.

The ward was a little dark, with only a small night light on, its dim yellow light falling on her hair. When Pei Zhili saw who it was, he was stunned.

It turned out to be, Mom...

Over the past decade or so, he'd been in many fights, suffered many injuries, and been hospitalized numerous times. But only this time, his mother was by his side.

There was a burning heat surging in my heart, and I felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Suddenly I felt that the injury was worth it!

Pei Zhili didn't wake her up, just stared at her in a daze.

Just like that, it was dawn. Jiang Tingxia woke up in a daze, feeling a little annoyed that she had fallen asleep. She hurriedly looked at Pei Zhili, but was caught off guard by his absent-minded gaze.

As if he had been caught doing something wrong, Pei Zhili immediately turned his head away, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Xiao Li, are you awake?" Jiang Tingxia was very happy. She reached out and gently stroked his hair, her eyes full of concern. "How do you feel? Does it hurt?"

“…” Pei Zhili was stunned again.

He thought his mother would blame him, scold him for being impulsive and reckless, and for sneaking out the window last night. Unexpectedly, she actually asked...

It's been a long time since anyone asked him if he was in pain.

Pei Zhili's eyes felt hot for no apparent reason. He scoffed to cover it up, "That's nothing. It doesn't hurt at all."

"You're so injured and still stubborn!"

"I'm fine." Pei Zhili insisted, and after a pause, he added, "Don't worry."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "You also know that you made her worried?!"

Pei Zhili looked towards the source of the sound and found that the old man was there too.

Pei Yanzhou sat on the sofa in the corner, looking at this side with his dark and deep eyes, obviously displeased.

He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already past six in the morning. He stood up and walked over here, and asked Jiang Tingxia softly: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

"I don't want to eat. Xiaoli is so badly injured, how can I have the mood to eat?"

"No, you have to eat at least a little. Oh, that dim sum shop you used to love is still open. I'll go get you some." Pei Yanzhou coaxed, then glanced at Pei Zhili, "What about you? What do you want to eat?"

The tone was completely different from the one used when he asked Jiang Tingxia just now, and it sounded very stiff.

This was the first time in all these years that he took the initiative to ask Pei Zhili this question.

Haha, you are so hypocritical, you just want to win favor in front of your mother!

Pei Zhili said coldly: "Whatever."

Jiang Tingxia said, "Xiao Li's injury is so serious that we can't treat him casually. Can we buy some light porridge, vegetable puree, or something like that?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll be back soon." Before leaving, Pei Yanzhou bent down and kissed her on the forehead.

Pei Zhili's eyes suddenly darkened.

After a while, Pei Yanzhou came back and bought a lot of snacks that Jiang Tingxia liked, and also did not forget to bring a bowl of light millet porridge for Pei Zhili.

Jiang Tingxia didn't bother to eat herself, but picked up the bowl of millet porridge, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, blew on it, and handed it to Pei Zhili's mouth, "Eat some first, you still need an IV later."

Pei Zhili was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised his hand, "I can do it myself."

"Tsk, don't be shy, open your mouth."

“…” Pei Zhili’s ears turned red as he opened his mouth and ate the porridge she fed him.

Pei Yanzhou on the side glared at him coldly, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart.

No, he had to find a chance for her to feed him. Why should the brat be allowed to enjoy such treatment alone?

At this time, the doctor came in to give Pei Zhili an IV. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but joked: "You're quite happy. Both your father and sister are with you."

Jiang Tingxia corrected: "I am his mother."

"Really?" The doctor looked at Pei Yanzhou with an expression that said, "I understand, I understand." This woman looked very young; she was definitely a stepmother.

But why does it seem like this boy has a better relationship with his stepmother, but has nothing to say to his father?

After Pei Zhili finished eating the millet porridge, Jiang Tingxia finally frowned and began to question him, "Pei Zhili, you are really capable. You actually jumped out the window and ran out to fight with someone? You even went to the hospital. Tell me, how many times has this happened?"

Pei Zhili's eyes flickered.

He didn't know why, but her voice was calm, even gentle, but it made his heart skip a beat. He felt guilty and helpless like never before.

It was as if I had turned back into the little kid who was afraid of being punished by his mother after making trouble.

Pei Zhili's momentum was very weak, "Not a few times."

"You're still trying to lie to me." Jiang Tingxia grabbed his ear and said, "If you were like this when you were a kid, I would definitely spank you. Anyway, I'm warning you, don't fight anymore, and don't let yourself get hurt. Do you understand?"

Pei Zhili felt pain and said, "I know, I know..."

As soon as Jiang Suisui came in, she saw the woman she hated pulling Pei Zhili's ear.

She was extremely shocked and immediately rushed over, "You bad woman, take your dirty hands away!"
