Pei Xi discovered that Pei Zhi had changed the group name when they had just driven home.
The car was parked in the garage. Pei Xi stared at the group name and laughed for a long time. Jiang Cheng asked her curiously, "What's wrong?"
Just as Pei Xi was about to answer, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID displayed on the screen was Pei Ruoyun.
Pei Xi answered immediately, and Pei Ruoyun's clear and crisp voice came through, but it was not hard to detect a clear smile: "Sweetie, have you gotten your marriage certificate yet?"
Pei Xi glanced at Jiang Cheng subconsciously, then nodded with a smile, "Mm."
Pei Ruoyun chuckled and said half-jokingly, "So you mean I'm a son-in-law now too?"
“Hmm.” Pei Xi smiled as she looked at Jiang Cheng. “And he’s a handsome and outstanding son-in-law.”
The carriage was quiet, and Jiang Cheng could hear the sound coming through the receiver clearly.
Hearing my wife and mother-in-law praise me to my face... actually, it's quite embarrassing.
He reached out and pinched Pei Xi's cheek, then heard Pei Ruoyun say, "Then hand the phone to my son-in-law, I'll say a few words to him."
Jiang Cheng immediately withdrew his hand and sat up straight.
Pei Xi agreed and handed him the phone with a smile.
Jiang Cheng took the receiver and spoke into it with a serious and respectful tone: "Hello, Auntie."
Upon hearing this, Pei Ruoyun immediately smiled and asked, "Still calling me Auntie?"
There was a two-second pause in the air. Jiang Cheng looked up and saw Pei Xi's smiling eyes. He rubbed the side of his phone with his fingertips and finally spoke in a low voice, "Mom."
Pei Ruoyun's laughter came through the receiver.
She responded and then said, "It won't be for nothing. Mom will give you a change-of-address fee later."
Pei Xi, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
Her mother genuinely treated Jiang Cheng like a child, just like she and Pei Zhi, and doted on him.
Jiang Cheng seemed a little uncomfortable with this interaction. He blinked somewhat helplessly, then nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Mom."
Pei Ruoyun hummed in agreement, her voice light and cheerful: "Alright, I have to go now, I'll hang up first."
Goodbye, Mom.
Pei Xi also raised his voice and said, "Goodbye, Mom!"
Pei Ruoyun agreed and then hung up the phone.
Pei Xi took back his phone, recalled the scene just now, and burst out laughing.
She hugged Jiang Cheng's arm tightly, hooked her arm around his hand, and intertwined her fingers with his. "From now on, you are officially a member of our family."
Jiang Cheng gave a low "hmm".
“My mother is your mother, and you can rightfully call her Mom,” Pei Xi said.
Jiang Cheng hummed in agreement again.
Pei Xi chuckled, "So, by the same logic, my brother is your brother, and from now on you'll have to call him..."
“I’d be happy to,” Jiang Cheng suddenly said.
"Really?" Pei Xi looked at him teasingly.
“You forgot? I called him brother a long time ago.” Jiang Cheng looked down at her, his gaze gentle. “Back then, I thought I would call him brother for the rest of my life. I would be willing to do it, I couldn’t ask for more.”
Pei Xi was taken aback, then made a soft "hmm" sound, feeling a little hot-faced by his confession.
Just then, my phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.
Someone sent a message in the group.
Pei Xi clicked on it, and it was Pei Zhi.
"Do you think I should change my name?"
"How about changing it to 'Xibao Guard Team'?"
Pei Xi suddenly laughed.
She immediately typed back: "No need, brother, this name is fine."
"real?"
"Absolutely true."
Pei Xi sent a message, then looked up and landed on the group name on the screen.
A loving family
—The few large characters can be described as simple, crude, and extremely rustic.
Pei Xi grumbled inwardly, but didn't move his gaze for a long time.
Although it was a bit rustic... she didn't lie to Pei Zhi; she genuinely liked it.
From the first time she brought Jiang Cheng back to the Pei family for the New Year until now, they are finally a real, legally defined family.
A family.
The kind that can never be separated or broken up.
