Liu Qing let her go, feeling a little regretful for missing her warmth.
"Then I'll go to the living room and rest for a while. Cook simpler dishes and don't overwork yourself."
"Go ahead."
Lin Jinrong was obviously relieved after he left.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had never been close to him in all these years.
He thought she was sensible and generous, but only she knew why.
He had never lived in her heart.
After dinner, she noticed something was wrong with him from his tiredness, and after asking him casually, she learned from him about the company's losses.
She comforted her gently, but she wondered if Xiaoxiao had done it.
Because Zichen doesn't seem to be the kind of person with ulterior motives, and Zichen seems to feel a little guilty towards Xiaoyuan, he shouldn't be so despicable.
The next day, she sent the tonic that had been stewed overnight to the Pei family.
Pei Xiaoxiao returned home early and had breakfast with Pei Songlu.
When Lin Jinrong saw Pei Songlu was also at home, there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
"Doesn't the company need to hold a morning meeting today?"
When Pei Songlu saw her, the corners of his mouth also turned up.
"No, come sit down and eat together."
The servant added another pair of chopsticks and stepped back.
Lin Jinrong hadn't had breakfast with them for a long time, so she was very happy.
Although she had already eaten breakfast when she arrived, she couldn't help but eat a little more.
She ate and laughed,
"Xiaoxiao, you look good these two days, don't you?"
Pei Xiaoxiao smiled, "That's for sure. Yesterday, Zichen and I went to the movies, and I was in a good mood. The doctor said that the baby in my belly is developing well."
Lin Jinrong was also very happy.
"That's good. Drink some of the tonic I brought you later. You must take good care of yourself now."
Pei Xiaoxiao was in a good mood, so she treated her very well.
She said: "If I continue like this, I don't know what I will become. Once the baby is born, I think I will die of fat."
"It's better if she's a little fatter." Lin Jinrong felt relieved seeing her happy.
When she thought about the big order that Liu had lost, she asked tentatively, "Xiaoxiao, was it the order that Zichen signed for Tian?"
Pei Xiaoxiao did not hide it.
"Yes, I used some tricks."
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but say, "Xiaoxiao, don't make decisions on your own in the future. Discuss with us..."
Before she finished her words, Pei Xiaoxiao suddenly changed the subject and slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"What do you mean? I was sad when I saw Liu Zhiyuan and Zichen like that, and I don't know what I can do to get rid of it. I did such a small thing, and you are dissatisfied with me? I see that you have lived with him for so many years, and at least the Liu family has some strength. You can't afford to lose a few dollars? Does Liu Qing make you feel distressed?"
Lin Jinrong's face turned slightly pale when he shouted.
Glancing at Pei Songlu, he whispered, "Xiaoxiao, that's not what I meant. I just..."
Pei Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Don't try to justify yourself. I think you really have feelings for Liu Qing, and you're obviously feeling sorry for him. I think you're really going too far."
Lin Jinrong quickly waved her hands, "No, I really didn't. Xiaoxiao, don't misunderstand me."
Lin Jinrong's eyes turned red with grievance. Although she was very strong in the Liu family, she was really vulnerable in front of Pei Songlu and Pei Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, she was so sad that she almost cried.
Pei Songlu frowned and put down his chopsticks after seeing this.
"Can you please eat properly? Why are you making so much noise?"
Pei Xiaoxiao just kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything. The only person she was afraid of was her father.
Pei Songlu looked at the door and saw that there was no servant, then he lowered his voice and scolded,
"Pei Xiaoxiao, watch your attitude. She is your mother, you can't yell at her like that!" Pei Xiaoxiao also lowered her voice.
"Why did I yell at her?"
Lin Jinrong felt sorry for her daughter and immediately said, "Forget it, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Pei Xiaoxiao frowned, "Why did you bring this up? What's wrong with me doing this?"
Pei Songlu was a rational person. He shouted angrily: "You are still stubborn? Why are you wrong? I told you that the time has not come yet, so I can't rashly overthrow the Liu family. Your mother is right. You are not allowed to make decisions on your own in the future."
Pei Xiaoxiao's momentum was half destroyed.
"The time hasn't come yet, the time hasn't come yet. I've heard you say that for years. I think you're just overthinking and afraid..."
Her nominal mother was yelling out of control in the backyard.
Pei Xiaoxiao became even more irritated. "I don't know what's wrong with her. She cries easily lately. Every time I come back, I hear her cry. It's so annoying."
Lin Jinrong grabbed her hand and calmed down.
"Hold on, now really isn't the time. We have to keep this peaceful."
Pei Xiaoxiao shook her hand off. "I'm tired. I'm pregnant and I can't let her affect my mood. Hurry up and ask Aunt Zhao to shut her up."
Pei Songlu glared at her again, "Don't be so harsh! You're being so rude!"
Pei Xiaoxiao whispered,
"I'm very angry. I've hated her all these years. Because of her, my biological mother can't recognize me anymore, and people have to point at my head and tell me that I'm the daughter of a psychopath all day long. It's torture..."
The guilt in Lin Jinrong's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and she even choked up. "Be patient. We have wronged you over the years, so please bear with us for a while."
Pei Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and stopped talking.
On the third day, Liu Zhiyuan learned that the Liu family had suffered a heavy loss, but Liu Qing did not tell her.
But when she called her father, she recognized his exhaustion.
