After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

Pei's mother and Qin Song talked a lot. Besides discussing the reasons for Pei Xingzhi's personality change, they also talked about many interesting things that happened when Pei Xingzhi was a child, as well as the blind dates he went on with other women before he met her. Finally, they even talked about the reasons for Pei's mother and Pei Xingzhi's father's divorce.

"To put it bluntly, his father just used me as a substitute. When the real person came back, the substitute was no longer needed, so he kicked me aside and abandoned the child as well."

"Bastard!" Qin Song was furious and couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.

Mrs. Pei nodded and smiled in agreement: "He really is a scoundrel. A few years ago, when the Pei Group was at its peak, he came back to find Xingzhi."

"Why are you looking for Xingzhi?" Qin Song's tone was unpleasant. "Now that he's successful, does he want to come back for money?"

"Hmph..." Madam Pei raised an eyebrow and sneered, "If it weren't for money, he probably wouldn't even remember that he has a son and a daughter. Back then, in order to be with that woman, he didn't hesitate to run away with all the money in the house, leaving us three orphans and a widow who couldn't even afford to eat. Now that woman has found someone else and doesn't want him anymore, he suddenly remembers that he still has sons."

Qin Song: "So how did Xingzhi deal with him? Did he give him money?"

Upon hearing this question, Pei's mother couldn't help but recall an incredibly comical scene from a few years ago.

"Xingzhi didn't give him any money, he just slapped him a few times and then kicked him hard in the chest."

"...Huh?" The words were a bit ambiguous, and Qin Song paused for a few seconds before understanding what they meant. "Xingzhi and he got into a fight?"

"Sigh..." Madam Pei sighed and rubbed her forehead, the coldness in her eyes replaced by a pleasant joy. "It wasn't a fight, it was Xingzhi who hit him. He went to Pei's Group to cause trouble, and no matter how Xingzhi tried to get rid of him, he wouldn't leave, so in a fit of anger, they started arguing."

“He’s shameless. He’s using his blood to morally blackmail Xingzhi, saying that Xingzhi is his son and it’s only right that he spends money on him. Xingzhi got angrier and angrier and just grabbed him by the collar and beat him to the ground.”

"That beating was really severe; he hasn't dared to come back since."

"Hmph..." Qin Song covered her mouth and chuckled secretly, "I never expected Pei Xingzhi to have such a savage side."

Mother Pei patted her chest in fear, "I was terrified by his appearance at the time. If Ye Ci and the others hadn't intervened in time, I was worried he would have crippled someone..."

While Pei Xingzhi was fast asleep and unaware of what was happening, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law huddled together, chatting about gossip surrounding Pei Xingzhi.

"Xingzhi went on five blind dates, and all five girls were very satisfied with him. Three of them even wanted to discuss engagement with me after only meeting him once."

"Then why didn't it work out in the end?"

"Because they all ran away because of that brat!"

"...Huh? What made you angry?"

"When a girl asked him out to dinner, she asked him what he liked to do in his spare time. He said he liked to do things related to his work. The girl tolerated it the first time, and then asked him what his hobbies were. He said he liked to live. The girl was generous and tolerated it a second time. She continued to ask him what his requirements were for his future marriage partner. He said his requirements were very simple: he hoped that his marriage partner would not want to get married."

"Hahaha... Is he too straightforward and doesn't know how to chat with girls?"

"He's a load of rubbish! He just didn't want to get married back then and deliberately said those things to ruin the blind date..."

Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes quietly, as if he were sleeping soundly. But after a while, he suddenly and secretly raised the corners of his lips.

……

"Buzz-"

At 6 p.m., another WeChat message popped up from Shen Yanhui, and Qin Song realized that he still owed her an explanation.

She put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone from the sofa, and opened her chat with Shen Yanhui.

—Qin Song, did you call me here to gain favor or to watch you and Pei Xingzhi show off your love? I've been in the ward for over half an hour, and Pei Xingzhi completely ignores me!

—No, Qin Song, what do you mean? You're ignoring me now that you've got the stuff? Are you planning to kick me to the curb after using me?

The two WeChat messages were three hours apart, and it was clear that Shen Yan was very resentful.

Qin Song glanced furtively at Pei Xingzhi, who was sitting on the bed eating earnestly, then quickly tapped on his phone to send a message to Shen Yan.

—I didn't betray you after we got rid of you; I've just been busy with other things since you left, so I haven't had time to reply to you.

Shen Yan replied instantly.

It's not too late for you to answer my question now.

Qin Song: I genuinely wanted to help you gain favor, otherwise I wouldn't have told Pei Xingzhi that lie. I just didn't expect Pei Xingzhi to completely ignore you…

Shen Yan Hui: ...Then what do I do now? You need to find me another opportunity quickly!

Qin Song: I'll find the opportunity, but I want to ask you for a favor right now.

Shen Yan replied: How dare you? You didn't let me earn a single bit of goodwill, and now you want to order me around?

Qin Song ignored her complaints and continued to express his own demands.

"Miss Shen, could you help me find someone named Tang Mingli? He was Pei Xingzhi's roommate in college, and I want to ask him some questions."

Shen Yan asked: ...What did you want to ask Xingzhi's roommate?

Qin Song: A very small matter, yet from a long time ago, but it concerns Xingzhi's innocence.

Shen Yan replied: Okay, wait for my news. So when are you planning to let me see Xingzhi again?

Qin Song: I will find an opportunity. Wait for my news.

Shen Yanhui: ...

Qin Song, though feeling unjustified, ended the chat, put down his phone, and continued eating.

After a week-long period of lingering heat, Yuncheng has finally officially entered autumn.

The plane trees along the street turned yellow one after another. As soon as the autumn wind blew, the leaves, which were already swaying precariously, began to flutter down. In just one morning, they covered the street in front of the hospital.

Qin Song wrapped his coat tighter around himself and reluctantly retreated from the window after Pei Xingzhi's repeated urging. He then picked up his handbag and prepared to leave.

"Come here." Pei Xingzhi beckoned to her, not letting her leave immediately.

She obediently walked over and stood in front of Pei Xingzhi: "What's wrong?"

Pei Xingzhi reached out and fastened the belt of her trench coat, then pulled up the collar of her inner layer: "It's windy outside, you should wear your coat properly."

Qin Song: "I'm dressed very well."

"Mm." Pei Xingzhi touched her face. "Go on, Ye Ci has already gone upstairs."

"Then I'm leaving." Qin Song took two steps back, and only after seeing him nod with a smile did he turn and walk towards the door of the ward.

Today, she is going out to meet a major client.

She really made the right choice in befriending Duan Jialu. They had only known each other for a month, and Duan Jialu had already introduced Qin Song to a huge client.

The clients were an elderly couple who wanted Qin Song to design a suitable set of jewelry for their son and daughter-in-law who were about to get married.
