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

"Defend me?" These three words made Pei Xingzhi's eyes light up. He turned to look at his mother and asked anxiously, "Mom, did Xiaosong say something to you about me?"

Pei's mother shook her head: "Xiao Song didn't tell me, she told that President Lu."

"President Lu?" Pei Xingzhi frowned. "Lu Yibai?"

Mother Pei: "It was him. He and the Qin family's daughter came to see our house today."

"What?" Pei Xingzhi's expression changed drastically.

Pei's mother smiled bitterly and told Pei Xingzhi the whole story of what had happened that morning.

It especially emphasizes how Qin Song protected Lu Yibai.

His eyes welled up with tears as he listened, and for a moment he even felt an urge to cry.

After finishing her sentence, Pei's mother sighed softly, "Xiao Song has really changed a lot. Xingzhi, you must cherish her from now on and treat her even better. Do you understand?"

Pei Xingzhi nodded, his eyes slightly moist: "I know."

Pei's mother smiled with relief: "I used to think that Xiao Song might not be the right person for you, otherwise how could your marriage have failed so badly? But now I see, it's just that your fate with her hasn't come yet."

"Seeing your relationship getting better and better makes Mom really happy."

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly, his expression warm and gentle: "I'm very happy too."

Pei's mother: "You've never been popular with the opposite sex since you were little. Now you finally have a caring wife by your side. My heart can finally rest easy."

"Wait a minute." Pei Xingzhi used the act of raising his glasses to secretly wipe the corner of his moist eye.

"Your granddaughter is about to be born, and you still need to dedicate your heart to taking care of her."

"Ah?" Mrs. Pei's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise and delight. "How did you know it was your granddaughter? Did you ask the doctor?"

Pei Xingzhi: "No, even if you ask the doctor, they won't tell you about the sex of the fetus."

"How did you know it was her granddaughter if you didn't ask?" Pei's mother asked, puzzled.

Pei Xingzhi lied through his teeth, "I'm just guessing. Xiao Song is beautiful, and I hope she has a daughter who is just as beautiful as her."

Pei's mother: "...I'm too lazy to talk to you."

……

In a high-end restaurant in the city center of Yuncheng.

Qin Sisi sat by the window, looking down at the traffic and crowds moving back and forth on the street a hundred meters below, like ants migrating.

She was still wearing the same emerald green strapless dress that had given her the upper hand during their argument that morning. The dress had a gradient color, and although it was plain, the shimmering fabric made the hem reflect an extraordinary brilliance in the sunlight, making it even more luxurious than those high-end gowns.

"Why isn't he here yet?" She frowned, her pretty face filled with impatience and anxiety, making her features look slightly harsh.

"I'm here." Xiao Yan appeared at the restaurant right on time and jogged over to Qin Sisi. "Sorry, Sisi, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

Qin Sisi raised her head irritably and gestured for Xiao Yan to sit down.

Xiao Yan wisely complied.

She was Qin Sisi's other follower. Sometimes when Li Rumeng wasn't around, she would stay by Qin Sisi's side and be at Qin Sisi's beck and call.

"Sisi, I saw all the WeChat messages you sent me. I never expected that Qin Song, who has fallen to such a sorry state, would still cling to President Lu. He's really shameless."

Qin Sisi got angry just thinking about it. She raised her hand to touch her exquisite princess braid, her face extremely sour: "You didn't see the look Yi Bai gave her... resentment, and jealousy! He used to only give me that look, but now, he even gives Qin Song that look!"

"He used to hate Qin Song so much, he even sent her to Pei Xingzhi's bed! But why, why is he looking at her like that now?"

"Xiao Yan, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that Brother Bai will rekindle his old feelings for her."

"Why are you so afraid of this?" Xiao Yan thought Qin Sisi was making a fuss over nothing. "Qin Song is ugly and poor now, and she's pregnant with Pei Xingzhi's child. How could President Lu possibly rekindle his old feelings for her?"

"And to put it bluntly, it seems that President Lu has never had much affection for her from beginning to end, right? The person President Lu has always liked has always been you."

“I understand everything you’ve said, but…” Qin Sisi leaned forward, her right hand clenched into a fist on the table, her face full of anxiety, “But the way Brother Bai looks at Qin Song is really unusual! Especially when Qin Song brags to him about how happy he is now, the jealousy in his eyes is almost overflowing!”

"I've been with him for so long, his eyes can't lie to me. He must have developed some different feelings for Qin Song!"

Xiao Yan sighed and placed the newly served glass of juice in front of Qin Sisi: "Sisi, don't scare yourself. Who is President Lu? He's the most sought-after business tycoon in Yuncheng right now. How could he possibly have any feelings for Qin Song, who is already married?"

"I don't even believe what you're saying."

"Hmph..." Qin Sisi sneered and slowly shook her head. "So what if he's a rising star in business? He's still just an ordinary man. All men in the world are the same—cheap. They don't cherish what they have, and they covet what they can't have. Whether Qin Song is poor or ugly, or whether he's pregnant with someone else's child, is completely unimportant to him. What matters is that Qin Song no longer belongs to him."

"...And then?" Xiao Yan really didn't understand what Qin Sisi was trying to say, her slightly widened eyes filled with confusion.

Qin Sisi: "Then, he got itchy, he felt uncomfortable. If I didn't stop him in time, he might do something to Qin Song under the drive of this 'discomfort'."

"Qin Song has never been one to be trifled with. If she gets the chance to start over, all my hard work over the years will have been for nothing!"

"Ah..." Xiao Yan actually only vaguely understood, but seeing that Qin Sisi seemed to be losing patience, she didn't dare to ramble on and could only pretend to understand even if she didn't.

"Sisi has a point; it's true that men are like that. Now that Sisi has noticed something's wrong, shouldn't we think of a way to stop it?"

"Of course!" Qin Sisi bit her lip, her fists clenching tighter and tighter. "Doesn't Qin Song like to brag about how happy she is? Then I'll make sure she never has the face to brag about it again!"

……

Pei Lingxuan was able to skip work today, a rare occurrence, and the five members of the Pei family were finally able to get together for a family meal.

Qin Song had just woken up from her afternoon nap when she received a notification from Jiang Mian about revisions. She sat on her bed with her tablet, secretly drawing under the guise of handling work.

Afraid of disturbing her, Pei's mother said to Pei Xingzhi, "Xingzhi, ask Xiaosong what she wants to eat tonight, and Mom will make it for her."

Pei Xingzhi replied with a smile while typing on the keyboard: "Mom, you don't need to cook tonight. Let's go out to eat as a family."

"Eat out?" Mother Pei didn't refuse, only asking, "What do you want to eat?"

After typing the last word, Pei Xingzhi saved the data several times before shutting down the computer.

"Xiao Song has been thinking about eating beef for a long time."

Mother Pei readily agreed: "Okay!"

Pei Xingzhi had already made reservations for the restaurant, and once Qin Song finished revising the manuscript, he took him there directly.

Unexpectedly, the couple ran into Qin Wushuang while they were out for a meal, and ended up sitting right next to her.
