Chapter 53 He knew all along that he wasn't related to the Song family…
Luo Yunqing's pregnancy lasted only a short while, less than three hours, before it all disappeared.
The plan was to go to the Song family's house at 7 p.m. the next day, but it was already 6:30 p.m. before I was dragged out of a deep sleep and dressed in thermal underwear and a cashmere sweater.
After he finished dressing, Pei Yanli put socks on him. "The temperature forecast says it will drop to minus seven degrees tonight, so it will still be cold on the road."
"It's so cold below zero, you should wear more clothes." Luo Yunqing had just woken up and her consciousness hadn't fully returned, so she spoke entirely on instinct.
Seeing him with his hands on either side of his body, head tilted back, looking dazed, Pei Yanli smiled and replied with a "okay".
After putting on one foot, he was about to put on the other when a foot with teeth marks still on its Achilles tendon stepped on his shoulder and pressed against him.
Luo Yunqing, in a bossy manner, cried out, "It hurts!"
"Does it hurt?" Pei Yanli remembered that she hadn't used much force.
He touched the foot, tilted his head, and kissed the spot where the teeth marks had been. "How about now? Does it still hurt?"
"Ugh~ Aren't you disgusted by the dirt?" Luo Yunqing said, about to pull her foot back in disgust.
They were pulled back halfway through.
"It's washed, it's not dirty." Pei Yanli kissed him twice more, then quickly put socks on him. "You're all dressed, get up."
After washing up, it was already past seven o'clock.
The drive to the Song family's house took nearly forty minutes, during which the prepared dishes had to be reheated twice.
Song Jingguo dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Since he didn't say anything, Lin Wenting and Song Moyan naturally couldn't say anything either. They just stood in the cold wind, their faces not looking too good.
"Second Master, Xiao Qing, come inside quickly," Song Jingguo greeted them warmly.
Back inside, the warmth of the heating immediately improved the atmosphere.
Song Jingguo didn't mention the previous events at all, as if he were just welcoming his married son home, and asked warmly, "Haven't you eaten yet? Let's eat first."
He led the people straight to the restaurant, saying as they walked, "His mother was overjoyed to know he was coming back, and she specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of his favorite dishes."
As Luo Yunqing pushed her wheelchair into the restaurant, she immediately saw the dish of braised pork with preserved mustard greens on the table.
Does he like to eat?
A slight smile played on her lips as she glanced at the two people following closely behind, and she said in a low voice, "Where's Xiaoxue?"
In short, the restaurant fell into a deathly silence.
Because of the scandal before the new year, no matter how many times Song Moyan visited, the Tang family refused to forgive him. Later, it was only after Song Jingguo personally apologized with sufficient sincerity that the Tang family stopped pursuing the matter, but the relationship remained strained.
The Song family's status in Beijing's elite circles plummeted due to the marriage fraud scandal.
All of this is Song Xuechen's fault.
Song Jingguo has been busy with company affairs lately, thinking about how to minimize the losses this time, and hasn't decided how to deal with him yet.
Today was another special occasion to thank Second Master Pei for his help in a time of crisis, so how could he possibly bring out that disgraceful bastard?
"Xiaoxue hasn't been feeling well lately and is resting in her room."
Despite being unwell, she still went to the hospital and angered Pei Hengzhi to the point of fainting?
Luo Yunqing smiled without saying a word, and pushed Pei Yanli to the guest seat. Coincidentally, the plate of braised pork with preserved mustard greens was facing the guest seat.
It's clearly meant for him.
"Xiaoqing, Mom remembers, this is your favorite food." Lin Wenting put two pieces on his plate.
Just as she was about to put the third piece into his bowl, Pei Yanli couldn't help but say, "Xiao Luo has a light palate and doesn't eat such oily food."
The chopsticks suddenly stopped.
Even without looking, Luo Yunqing knew what expression she had right now: bewildered, confused, and flustered.
I want to ease the tension between them.
Unfortunately, he has always preferred bland food; he used to be unable to afford oily and heavily flavored dishes, but now he's gotten used to it.
"Mom, you're mistaken," Luo Yunqing said with a smile. "It's Xiaoxue who likes to eat this."
He pushed away the oil-stained bowl.
Another one was quickly handed to me, filled with peeled sweet shrimp.
Lin Wenting had no choice but to put the third piece of braised pork into her own bowl.
On the other hand, because of Pei Yanli's act of peeling shrimp, Song Jingguo also reassessed his position in Pei Yanli's heart.
Going to watch him race might have been a side thing, since the eldest son of the Pei family was also participating. The incident last time might have just been an excuse, but the fact that he casually peeled shrimp for him clearly shows how the two usually get along.
Xiao Qing's position in Pei Yanli's heart was far higher than he had imagined.
This couldn't be better for the Song family.
As long as the Pei family is backing them up, especially with Pei Yanli, who is rumored to be about to take over as the head of the Pei family, what worries does the Song family have about not being able to rise again!
After the meal, Song Jingguo invited Pei Yanli to his study for a chat.
Luo Yunqing had intended to follow, but Lin Wenting stopped her just before they reached the study door.
"Xiaoqing, Mom will never ask anyone to make braised pork with preserved mustard greens again."
"No, Xiaoxue still loves to eat it."
Lin Wenting looked at her son with a worried expression, fidgeting with her fingers uncomfortably. "Are you still blaming your mother?"
Does he blame her?
The baby swap was caused by the earthquake; she was just spoiling her child. But how could she, upon learning that the child had been switched, immediately arrange a marriage without a second thought?
He was lucky to have met Pei Yanli. What if it had been someone else? If it had been someone with violent tendencies, whether he was beaten to death or maimed wouldn't matter!
Luo Yunqing stepped forward, took up her hand, and said softly, "I am very happy now. Second Master treats me very well, so..."
"Mother, you don't need to blame yourself anymore."
I don't blame you.
"From now on, someone will peel shrimp and serve vegetables to me."
I don't want you anymore either.
"Let's continue making braised pork with preserved mustard greens for Song Xuechen."
You are still his mother.
"Xiao Qing..."
Lin Wenting felt a sudden, unwarranted panic.
Just as she was about to grasp his hand, Luo Yunqing let go first: "I have to go find Pei Yanli."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Instead of going to the study, he went up to the third floor.
Before he could go up, he saw Song Xuechen standing silently at the top of the stairs, glaring at him fiercely. "Are you happy now?"
He had nothing left, including Pei Hengzhi.
Everyone loves him, all of them!!
"There's something I've never been able to figure out." Luo Yunqing held onto the handrail and walked up step by step until she reached the last step.
Song Xuechen turned her gaze away and looked behind him.
"Don't even think about pushing me down." Luo Yunqing saw through his thoughts. "This height won't kill me, but you'll be in big trouble. My Ali will make you wish you were dead."
"What do you have to brag about!"
"Don't shout so loudly." Luo Yunqing raised a finger to her lips, shushing softly, and returned to the previous question, "Why did you try to catch two at the same time?"
If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation today.
“People strive for higher positions. I can understand Pei Hengzhi’s desire, but what about Song Moyan?” When he returned to the Song family, there were already signs between them, meaning their relationship was about to take another step forward.
At least until his fake young master identity was exposed.
At that time, they were officially brothers.
Either they're perverts, or, "You already knew you weren't a child of the Song family, didn't you?"
Song Xuechen's eyes widened in horror, and for a moment she recalled the summer vacation of her third year of junior high school.
He forgot where he was going by car. While waiting for the light to turn red at the intersection, he glanced out the window and saw a teddy bear handing out flyers to passersby at the entrance of a newly opened shopping mall.
At noon, the temperature reached 37 degrees Celsius, a wave of heat hit us, and cicadas chirped incessantly.
After handing out the last flyer, the teddy bear took off its headgear, revealing a beautiful and strangely familiar face. It squatted in the shade, poured half a bottle of water on its face because it was so hot, and drank the remaining half in a few gulps.
Finally, he took out the steamed buns wrapped in a plastic bag, put his hands together, closed his eyes and murmured something, and then ate them in big bites with water.
He clearly remembered that it was his birthday.
At night, he tossed and turned, always thinking of the boy who was about his age. Even from a distance, the boy looked exactly like his mother, while he and his mother had nothing in common.
Filled with doubts, he secretly took his mother's hair and his own hair for testing, and the results plunged him into endless panic and fear.
He wasn't his mother's biological son!
If this secret is discovered... then he will have to live the same life as that boy, and his birthday will only consist of steamed buns.
no!
We absolutely cannot be discovered!
He immediately destroyed the identification report and had someone find the manager of the shopping mall to fire the boy.
We can't let him show up again. If my mother sees him, she'll definitely become suspicious!
Later, he remembered to find a boy to keep quiet. But at the time, the boy was under sixteen and was working illegally for only a few days, so the manager didn't keep a record of him and only knew that he was an orphan.
For the next few years, he lived in constant fear, afraid that the matter would be exposed at any time.
Worried and afraid, I still saw him again after the college entrance exam. He was still as thin as he was back then, but he had grown taller. He was fighting fiercely with the knife-wielding thug, protecting his mother tightly behind him, his hands covered in blood.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about." The more Song Xuechen thought about it, the paler her face became. She took a few steps back and ran back to her room.
This reaction speaks volumes.
As expected, they already knew.
That's why I tried fishing for one on the left and one on the right, but I ended up losing everything.
Haha, karma really works.
Luo Yunqing went downstairs in a great mood and ran into Song Moyan coming out of the study.
He walked past without saying a word and then went upstairs.
"Is Big Brother going to see Xiaoxue?" he asked with a loud laugh, his voice loud enough for everyone upstairs and downstairs, as well as in the study where the door wasn't closed properly. "Don't worry, Big Brother, I didn't bully him."
Song Moyan suddenly stopped and looked down at him with hatred.
Not long after, the study door was opened, and Song Jingguo saw Pei Yanli out with a forced smile, giving the person on the stairs a warning look.
She looked away and continued smiling: "I will carefully consider what Second Master said."
"Okay, then Xiao Luo and I will be going now."
…………
Leave the Song family.
After getting in the car, Luo Yunqing leaned against him and snuggled into his arms, blinking her eyes: "What were you saying to him?"
"Want to know?"
Pei Yanli bypassed his face, then reached back and gently pinched his chin.
Luo Yunqing very graciously kissed him on the cheek, "Go ahead and say it."
"Only the face."
"If you're going to push your luck, then forget it."
Luo Yunqing turned her head to sit up straight.
She was then pulled over and kissed on the lips.
"Waaah!"
“Didn’t we give him so many projects before? I told him to let you intern at Song’s.” Pei Yanli said while kissing him, “It’s a good opportunity to create some crisis for Song Moyan.”
Luo Yunqing quickly covered his mouth, gasping for breath: "Would he agree?"
“I will agree.” Pei Yanli pulled his hand away and kissed him again. “After all, pressure is what motivates us.”
As for the final result, it all depends on each person's abilities.
"So he figured out what we meant too?"
"So what if he can see through it? It's the law of the jungle." Pei Yanli wiped the water stains off his lips. "Even if he favors his eldest son, as long as your abilities far surpass Song Moyan's, the Song Group's shareholders aren't fools. Besides, there's me."
"My husband is still the best to me!"
"Give me another kiss."
Knock knock!
Just as the atmosphere inside the car was becoming increasingly sweet, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Chen Zhao walked to the front door, calm and collected, looking straight ahead, and asked in a friendly manner through the window glass, "May I come up now?"
