He happily took the fruit beer and sat down next to his son.

After pulling open the pull ring of the fruit beer, he handed it to Pei Ziheng as a courtesy, "Would you like to drink some together?"

Pei Ziheng rolled his eyes, "You want me, a minor, to drink?"

"You're going to college soon, you're not a kid anymore. Besides, this isn't really alcohol, it's just a beer-flavored drink, right, honey?"

Before Shen Mingzhu could speak, Pei Tang looked eager to try: "Dad, I want to try beer-flavored drinks."

Pei Yang's smile disappeared, "You can't drink."

"Why?"

"You are still young."

"I'm not little anymore, I'm going to be in second grade soon!"

Pei Yang was amused by his daughter's innocence and cuteness. "When you finish your college entrance examination, Dad will buy you a box and let you drink as much as you want."

Pei Tang pouted, "Okay."

"If the food gets cold, it won't taste good."

Shen Mingzhu urged as she handed the pizza cut into small pieces to the father and his two sons.

Pei Yang took a bite of the pizza. The crust was crispy, the cheese was rich and soft, and it was paired with the rich bacon and beef cubes. It was much better than the pizza in China.

Thinking of the origin of pizza, Pei Yang turned around and asked his son, "How did you get the owner to agree to let you eat for free?"

"What's a freeloader?"

Both mother and daughter looked at him curiously.

Pei Ziheng complained: "Dad doesn't give me money to buy pizza."

Pei Yang didn't expect that his casual question would dig a big hole for himself, so he quickly explained: "I was just joking."

After that, he flattered Pei Ziheng again, "Let's be honest, our son is really capable. He got the store to send so much food without spending a penny."

"Son, how did you do that?"

Under the curiosity of the whole family, Pei Ziheng explained his method: "I designed a daily special offer for the pizza shop. From Monday to Sunday, a half-price pizza will be launched. On the one hand, it is used to attract customers, and on the other hand, it can promote other flavors. In exchange, the owner will treat me to pizza."

"Brother, you are awesome!"

"Son, that's great!"

Even Pei Yang had to feel gratified and proud of his son's clever brain.

You little brat, you're really capable.

After eating and drinking, Shen Mingzhu announced the plan to buy a house to the father and his two sons, and seriously asked for their opinions.

Pei Tang wants a big house.

Pei Ziheng still insisted on having a detached house.

Pei Yang: "I listen to my wife. I like what my wife likes."

Two days later, led by the real estate agent, the family of four arrived at a wealthy area five miles north of Cambridge University.

The area has good public security and a superior geographical location.

The house has three floors. Excluding the storage room and garage, the living area is about 200 square meters. There is a beautiful lawn at the door and a small garden at the back door.

The family of four liked the house very much, no matter its size, layout or decoration. The only thing that made Pei Ziheng dissatisfied was that the house was a townhouse, and the lawn, back garden and garage had to be shared with the residents next door.

Pei Ziheng always preferred independent houses and did not want to share his home with outsiders, even though he only lived in London for a short time.

Shen Mingzhu waved her hand and said, "That's easy. Buy both buildings."

When these words were spoken, the family of three were quite shocked.

"Mom, you want to buy two big houses?"

"Honey, calm down."

"Mom, I support you."

The happiest person was Pei Ziheng. He had plenty of money and he liked to spend it on his mother.

Even the mint green platinum bag that Pei Yang gave to Shen Mingzhu was something he had tried every means to order from abroad, but he just didn't have the right reason or opportunity to give it to Shen Mingzhu.

Pei Yang thought that he had spent money to please his wife, but he didn't know that he was being used by his own son and became an enemy.

At this point, Shen Mingzhu no longer kept the secret and told the whole family the real purpose of buying a house.

Zhuang Xueqi plans to arrange for her mother and Zhuang Xu to live in London. She is buying a house now, on the one hand to provide a suitable residence for the mother and son, and on the other hand for investment.

Through asset replacement, three days later, the two townhouses were transferred to Shen Mingzhu's name.

Everything was done in secret.

To the outside world, Shen Mingzhu always claimed that the villa was rented for a friend to avoid unnecessary trouble.

You should know that in foreign countries, wealthy Chinese are the most likely targets of criminals.

Pei Yang had limited vacation time, so he returned to China alone the day after moving to his new home. Pei Ziheng and Pei Tang stayed in London for their summer vacation.

On the fifth day after Pei Yang left, the empty villa next door finally welcomed its owners - the Zhuang family mother and son.

After the Zhuang mother and son were settled, Shen Mingzhu brought her brother and sister, as well as the pizza and apple pie she baked herself, to visit them.

Perhaps due to family changes, Zhuang Xu did not show up.

Zhuang's mother was polite to the mother and her two children, but her eyes were filled with deep fatigue and depression.

"Ma'am, what should we do with these pizzas and apple pies?"

After Shen Mingzhu left, housekeeper Lou Hua pointed at the food on the coffee table and whispered to Zhuang's mother for instructions.

Lou Hua came from China with the Zhuang mother and son. He is responsible for taking care of their daily life. He was found by Zhuang Xueqi personally. He is professional and reliable.

"I have no appetite. Give some to Xiao Xu and see if he eats it. Give the rest away."

"good."

Lou Hua took the pizza and apple pie to the kitchen, cut a small piece of each, put them on a tray, prepared a glass of lemon juice to relieve the greasiness, and brought it upstairs.

"Master, please try the pizza and apple pie sent by Mrs. Pei next door."

Seeing Zhuang Xu lying on the bed motionless, Lou Hua couldn't help but sigh.

It has been two days now, and I have been lying here without eating or drinking. If I continue like this, I'm afraid my body will collapse.

"Why don't you call your wife? If things really don't work, you'll have to send him to the hospital."

After reporting Zhuang Xu's situation, Lou Hua went to the kitchen to deal with the remaining pizza and apple pie.

Zhuang's mother was worried about her son, so she got up and went upstairs.

After knocking on the door and seeing the scene in the room, Zhuang's mother almost thought she was dazzled.

"Xiao Xu?"

She walked up to her son in surprise and joy, and sat down carefully, fearing that everything before her eyes would disappear like a mirage.

After finishing the apple pie, Zhuang Xu grabbed a pizza and started eating it silently. In the middle of the meal, he choked and his face turned red because he ate too fast, which made Zhuang's mother pat him on the back and give him water.

"Anything else?"

Zhuang's mother was stunned by her son's question, "What else?"

Zhuang Xu looked at her, expressionless: "I'm not full."

"Oh, yes, yes! It's downstairs. I'll get it for you."

When Zhuang's mother hurried to the kitchen downstairs, the remaining pizza and apple pie, as well as Lou Hua, were nowhere to be seen.

Shen Mingzhu opened the door and saw Zhuang's mother panting outside the door. She asked with concern: "Madam Zhuang, what happened?" (End of this chapter)
