Xiao Li asked in confusion, "Am I my biological child?"
"They are definitely my biological children."
Xiao Li nodded, "Alright then, but don't make jokes like that again. I almost took it seriously."
Pei Xingsheng wiped away his cold sweat, finally managing to pull things back. He would have to take care of Sun Yue himself.
Taking care of a paralyzed patient is extremely tiring, and Pei Xingsheng is not a patient person.
He didn't care if Sun Yue was hungry or thirsty, he just fed her three meals a day at regular times.
Sometimes Sun Yue would throw a tantrum and refuse to eat when she had no appetite, but he wouldn't indulge her; if she didn't eat, he would let her go hungry.
Every time Pei Xingsheng cleaned up Sun Yue's excrement, he would grumble and complain.
Later, in order to reduce Sun Yue's excretion, he reduced her meals from three to two and also reduced the portion sizes.
Sun Yue was starving every day. Her eyes would light up when she saw food, and she would eat it all up. Pei Xingsheng was particularly proud of this, as feeding her was so much easier this way.
He usually doesn't talk to Sun Yue. Except for meals and changing diapers, he lets Sun Yue lie in bed by herself.
They never massaged or turned Sun Yue over. Over time, Sun Yue's muscles atrophied and her body became covered with bedsores.
Sun Yue cried every day in anger, but she couldn't speak and could only make incoherent noises. Every time she annoyed Pei Xingsheng, she would get beaten up.
After a while, she resigned herself to her fate and obediently waited for her meal.
The Pei family had been living off their savings and soon ran out of money. The twins were very dissatisfied with their current standard of living, which was far worse than before.
Sun Yue used to be a head chef at a restaurant, with a fixed salary every month. But now she's sick and can't work anymore, so she has to rely on Pei Xingsheng's salary alone.
Pei Xingsheng's salary wasn't high, and now that Sun Yue was gone, he was naturally struggling to make ends meet.
The twins are only ten years old and in the fifth grade this year. Sun Yue used to give them twenty yuan of pocket money every day, but that's no longer the case.
"Dad, I need money."
Pei Xingsheng was in a real bind; he didn't have any money either.
"Son, from now on you can only spend ten yuan a week. We're out of money."
Pei Yucheng objected, "Mom said it's twenty yuan a day, no less."
Pei Yuqiong nodded in agreement, "Yes, we can't have less. If it's not enough, we'll have our eldest brother give us his share."
Pei Xingsheng thought for a moment. He hadn't given Pei Yuli any money in the past month, so what could he give them?
"Your mother is sick, so our family will have to be more frugal from now on."
Pei Yucheng pouted, "Dad, don't think I don't know. Our family is very rich. Last time I saw that Mom's phone balance was 500,000."
Pei Yuqiong nodded, "Yes, my brother and I saw it together."
Pei Xingsheng glanced at Xiao Li's room and sighed. That 500,000 yuan was wasted because of that scoundrel.
That person is fine now, but the money is gone.
"Alright, in short, we're out of money. From now on, we'll only have ten yuan a week."
Pei Xingsheng was in a bad mood and too lazy to coax the child, so he gave the order forcefully.
The twins dared not say anything more and had to shut up.
They didn't dare to argue with Pei Xingsheng, so they went to find Sun Yue instead.
"Mom, we're in a terrible situation right now. We only have ten yuan a week, we can't even get enough to eat every day, and Dad beats and scolds us..."
"Waaaaah, Mom, please get better soon and avenge us!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yue was furious and fell off the bed, breaking her arm in the process.
Pei Xingsheng beat the twins up, and from then on, they never dared to cause trouble again.
As the days went by, Pei Xingsheng began to plot against his eldest son.
One weekend, Pei Xingsheng went to see his eldest son, Wu Qingyang.
"You're saying you're my biological father? Am I not the Wu family's biological son?"
Wu Qingyang simply couldn't believe that he was the child of the man in front of him, but the two looked so alike that he had no choice but to believe it.
“Your mother is seriously ill, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to find you.”
Pei Xingsheng pretended to be forced into it.
"Fifteen years ago, your mother reluctantly left you with the Wu family so that you could have a better life. We haven't looked for you all these years. This time, if we hadn't had no other choice, I wouldn't have..."
Wu Qingyang's heart was in turmoil; he really didn't want to accept this fact.
What do you want from me?
Wu Qingyang looked at the man in front of him, unsure of his purpose in coming to see him. Considering the Wu family's wealth, this was the only possibility.
Pei Xingsheng rubbed his hands together. "Your mother is seriously ill, but we're out of money, so..."
Wu Qingyang opened his schoolbag, took out the cash inside, and pushed it in front of Pei Xingsheng.
"This is all I have. Take it for now. Be here again tomorrow, and I'll give you a card. Don't come looking for me again after that."
Pei Xingsheng nodded. If there's a first time, there's a second time; he didn't mind making a few more trips.
A biological son is a biological son; the blood relationship is real and cannot be denied.
Wu Qingyang returned home, preoccupied, but he tried his best to hide his emotions.
He gave all his New Year's money from over the years to Pei Xingsheng, thinking he could finally relax and have peace of mind, but he was wrong.
The Pei family is like a bottomless pit; no matter how much you fill it, it will never be full. In this life, Xiao Li jumped out, and now it's Wu Qingyang's turn to contribute.
When Pei Xingsheng came to him for the second time, Wu Qingyang was furious. Where would he get any money? He had given all of his living expenses for the month to Pei Xingsheng.
But Pei Xingsheng didn't care about all that. He directly told Wu Qingyang that if he didn't get it, he should go to Wu Hao and ask for it, so that Wu Qingyang wouldn't be able to be a young master either.
Wu Qingyang had no choice but to agree and went back to raise the money.
He paced back and forth among the ornaments, unsure which one to choose.
This jade rabbit was a birthday gift from my mom, and this limited edition figurine was a reward my dad promised me for getting 100 on a test...
Finally, he took the jade rabbit and put it in his schoolbag, intending to pawn it and give the money to Pei Xingsheng.
Wu Qingyang slept very restlessly. He was covered in sweat and kept muttering to himself, but his voice was too soft to be heard clearly.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his eyes were gloomy and he didn't look like a young man at all.
He looked around. This was... the Wu family's residence.
Wu Qingyang recalled his memories and finally understood one thing: he had been reborn.
In his previous life, after Pei Yuli died, the Pei family lost their support and still came looking for him.
However, he was already in his twenties at that time and had a certain amount of financial strength, so he carefully kept it a secret from the Wu family until he took over the Wu Group and then relaxed his vigilance.
Who knew that old man Wu Hao was so shrewd? After discovering something was wrong, he managed to pull him out of the company and leave him with nothing.
He cried and didn't want to leave, but Wu Hao returned with an illegitimate child and told him that the Wu family would not lack an heir.
No wonder Wu Hao kicked him so decisively; it turns out he had already prepared a way out.
