Yan Su was a little surprised when she saw the three exquisite gift boxes lined up on the coffee table.

"so much?"

The driver smiled, "The gift is great, but the sentiment is even greater. It shows that Mrs. Pei really wants to thank the Second Miss."

Yan Su bent down and opened the three gift boxes one by one. In an instant, the room was filled with fragrance.

One box contains gummy candies, which are divided into six small compartments, each containing gummy candies of different colors.

Yan Su pinched a red soft candy. It had a rich strawberry aroma and a light sweetness, just the right taste.

After tasting all three gift boxes, Yan Su divided them into two, keeping half for himself and having someone send the other half to Yan Jing.

Yan Jing has abstained from sugar for many years, so she will probably like these snacks and gummies that do not contain sucrose.

Ever since receiving the scooter as a birthday gift, Pei Ziheng would take the scooter downstairs to play when he had nothing to do.

That day, he was riding his scooter freely in the staff compound. When he scooted near the carport, Shen Baolan appeared from nowhere and waved at him with a sausage in her hand.

"Pei Ziheng, come here."

Pei Ziheng slid over calmly, his dark eyes staring at the other person quietly.

Shen Baolan stuffed the sausage into his hand and said, "Eat it. This is what Xiaohao's biological mother sent back from the capital. It's very expensive."

"Pei Ziheng, look, this mother, even though she is thousands of miles away, still misses her son in her heart."

"Although your stepmother treats you well now, she won't care about you anymore after she gives birth to her own son. Women are all the same. They only treat their own sons well. You should go find your own mother. Don't you think this is true?"

Pei Ziheng's dark eyes flashed with ridicule, and he pretended to be helpless and pitiful: "My biological mother is far away, I can't find her, can you help me find her?"

Seeing that Pei Ziheng took the bait, Shen Baolan almost burst into laughter.

When Pei Ziheng's biological mother shows up, won't Shen Mingzhu be so angry she dies?

"Okay, tell me where your biological mother is and I'll help you find her."

"She is..."

Pei Ziheng came over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Go downstairs and find her."

Shen Baolan was stunned.

Pei Ziheng's beautiful white face curled up into a devilish smile, "Remember to go find her quickly, I'll wait for your news."

After saying that, he happily scooted away on his scooter.

Shen Baolan stared at Pei Ziheng's back, shaking with anger.

The little bastard actually cursed her to death! ?

Although he succeeded in angering Shen Baolan, Pei Ziheng still felt it was not enough. He saw Zhou Hao playing glass balls with some friends not far away, and walked over with a cold smile.

"Zhou Hao."

Zhou Hao was flattered to see Pei Ziheng taking the initiative to greet him.

After all, Pei Ziheng is usually very aloof and would ignore him completely.

When Zhou Hao saw the skateboard Pei Ziheng was riding, an expression of envy and desire appeared on his face.

Zhou Hao came up to Pei Ziheng and took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket. "Pei Ziheng, I'll give you some candies. Lend me your scooter to play with for a while."

Pei Ziheng looked at him, his dark eyes full of pity, "Keep it for yourself. When your stepmother gives birth to a brother for you, your candy and toys, even the bed you live in now, will all be given to your brother by your grandma and stepmother, and you will have nothing."

After all, he is one year older and Zhou Hao is no longer as easy to bully as he was last year.

Pei Ziheng curled his lips, "Who said my mother is going to give birth to a brother? My mother gave birth to a sister, and I will always be my mother's only son."

"Zhou Hao, the same goes for you. If your stepmother gave birth to a sister, you would be your father's only son, and your grandparents would only love you."

"If you want your stepmother to give birth to a sister, I have a way..."

…

Shen Baolan put dinner on the table and saw her stepson coming back from outside, sweating profusely. She was about to ask him to wash his hands and eat, but she didn't expect her stepson to run up to her and point at her belly.

"Give birth to a younger sister!"

"Give birth to a younger sister!"

"Give birth to a younger sister!"

After shouting three times, Zhou Hao ran away happily.

Shen Baolan was so angry that she was stunned.

Ever since she married into the Zhou family, she had been determined to give birth to a son, to consolidate her position as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and to have someone to rely on in the future.

Although her stepson's behavior was just the words of an innocent child, it still made her feel uncomfortable. However, she didn't dare to scold him and could only keep her frustration to herself.

But this is just the beginning.

The next morning, Zhou Hao ran to her without washing his face as soon as he got up, and shouted "Give birth to a little girl" three times into her belly.

Not only that, at noon, at night, and every day thereafter, Zhou Hao would shout into her belly, "Give birth to a little girl!" without fail, almost driving Shen Baolan crazy with anger.

Zhou Hao was very happy, as this was the method Pei Ziheng taught him. As long as he shouted "give birth to a sister" to his stepmother's belly every morning, noon and evening, his stepmother would definitely give birth to a sister, and then his status and favor would not be threatened.

Shen Baolan was a superstitious person. She thought that if her stepson continued to call her like this every day, even if she was pregnant with a son, he would call her a daughter.

But she tried every possible means, including coaxing and bribing Zhou Hao to stop shouting about having a younger sister, but Zhou Hao didn't listen.

Although Zhou Hao is small, he is not stupid. His younger brother will snatch everything from him and divide his property. He will not let his stepmother give him a younger brother just for a small favor.

Shen Baolan had no choice but to find her husband and parents-in-law and ask them to discipline Zhou Hao.

For the Zhou family, it makes no difference whether they have a son or a daughter, after all, they already have a son (grandson).

What's more, they were also worried that Shen Baolan would mistreat her grandson Zhou Hao (eldest son) harshly after giving birth to her own son, so they turned a blind eye to Zhou Hao's behavior.

What made Shen Baolan even more angry was that after the news spread in the staff quarters, whenever she went out, people would tease her that she was going to give birth to a daughter. She was so angry that she never went out. She stayed at home every day, touching her belly and repeating "give me a son, give me a son". She was almost going crazy.

…

The matter between Shen Baolan and her stepson reached Shen Mingzhu's ears, but she just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.

On this day, Shen Mingzhu came to the mall to inspect the stores as usual. From a distance, she saw people making noise in front of the store.

She subconsciously wanted to quicken her pace to check out the situation, but when she looked down and saw that her belly was almost blocking her toes, she slowed down again.

Why rush? The sky isn't going to fall.

When she approached calmly, she was surprised to find that it was an acquaintance.

"Teacher Ou, what happened?"

Seeing her, Ou Liya was also surprised, and then realized something, pointing at Mingzhu Food Court and asking, "Mother Pei Ziheng, is this your store?"

Before Shen Mingzhu could answer, a strange female voice interrupted, "Since you know each other, that's great. My daughter wants to eat the snowflake crisps from your store." (End of this chapter)
