As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang's faces changed, alarm bells rang in their hearts, and they subconsciously turned their gazes to Pei Tiantian who was still a little dazed.
Pei Zhiwen said, "Gu Rong, please take Tiantian to her room to play. We need to talk to Teacher Tao alone."
They couldn't let Pei Tiantian hear what Pei Zhisheng said.
After all, their consistent statement to Pei Tiantian was that Pei Zhisheng was working outside to earn money for her.
They couldn't let Tiantian know that Pei Zhisheng abandoned her on purpose.
Seeing that Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang both looked a little strange, Gu Rong nodded, reached out and pulled Pei Tiantian, who was still in a daze, into the house.
After seeing Pei Tiantian enter her room, Pei Zhiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a serious tone, "To be honest, Pei Zhisheng is our fourth brother who ran away from home for many years. We haven't heard from him for several years!"
"Are you and Pei Zhisheng brothers? No wonder you look so alike."
Tao Jing suddenly realized.
"Teacher Tao, where did you see Zhisheng? Where is he now? Is he doing well?"
Pei Zhiqiang threw out a series of questions in a rapid tone.
Tao Jing's expression became complicated, and her tone became hesitant, "He... is living a good life, but..."
"Just what? Did something happen to Jisheng?"
Pei Zhiwen also became nervous.
"No, no, my two brothers from the Pei family, I don't want to lie to you. Pei Zhisheng..."
Tao Jing paused and said the following half sentence with difficulty: "He is now my cousin's husband."
These words were like a bolt of thunder exploding on the heads of Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang.
They were shocked and stood there in a daze.
Zhisheng actually remarried without telling anyone?
Didn't even tell them.
Wang Ruizhen, who had just come out of the house, happened to hear this. She threw away the colander in her hand, rushed into her room, searched for a long time, and finally found a book with a blue cover wrapped in cloth.
This is the household registration book.
The household registration booklet is still there and has not been taken away, so how did Pei Zhisheng remarry?
There is always a glimmer of hope in Wang Ruizhen's heart.
Maybe Teacher Tao made a mistake, they are just people with the same name and surname.
How could Pei Zhisheng get married without telling them and not even come back and not even inform them?
When Wang Ruizhen thought of this, her eyes became sore and her emotions were churning. She took out the blue household registration booklet and asked Tao Jing this question in a trembling voice.
Tao Jing didn't know how to explain.
Families like theirs have more invisible privileges than ordinary people, so such a small thing is naturally not difficult.
Tao Jing could only vaguely say, "Aunt, Pei Zhisheng and my cousin Tao Shu got married abroad, and then returned to China and found some connections to have their marriage certified. If you go to update your household registration, you'll be able to find out that he's married."
After hearing this, Wang Ruizhen's face instantly turned gloomy, and the only hope left in her heart was gone.
Pei Zhiwen was still able to maintain basic calmness. He continued to ask, "Teacher Tao, can you tell us about Zhisheng's situation?"
Tao Jing nodded and said of course, then she told them everything she knew.
When Pei Zhisheng was looking for a job in Guangzhou, he joined Tao Shu's foreign trade company as a clerk. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was noticed by Tao Shu and became her secretary.
The two men worked together day and night, and Pei Zhisheng was handsome, eloquent, and only 24 years old.
Tao Shu, who was three years older than Pei Zhisheng, soon struck up a romance with him.
Tao Shu, who was deeply in love, ignored the difference in status and got together with Pei Zhisheng, and soon became pregnant.
The Tao family originally looked down on Pei Zhisheng, who came from a rural background and had only a high school diploma, but since Tao Shu was already pregnant, they had no choice but to give in.
Because Pei Zhisheng claimed that he had a bad relationship with his family and had cut off all ties with them long ago, it was impossible for him to go back.
So Tao Shu and Pei Zhisheng went to Country M to get married, and then came back and used their connections to get their marriage certified at the consulate.
“That’s pretty much what I know,” Tao Jing said.
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang had dry throats and could not utter a sound.
Wang Ruizhen felt heartbroken and tears kept flowing down.
Have you severed ties long ago?
Is this Pei Zhisheng's attitude towards them?
"Zhisheng, is he really not going to acknowledge us?"
Wang Ruizhen beat her chest and cried, "How could he say such cruel words!"
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang stopped her with red eyes. Pei Zhiqiang comforted her: "Mom, don't be too sad. Think positively!"
"Since Pei Zhisheng is unwilling to acknowledge us as his relatives, we will just pretend that he doesn't exist. He can come back if he wants. As long as Zhiqiang and I are alive, we will raise Tiantian. Tiantian doesn't need to acknowledge him as her irresponsible father!"
Pei Zhiwen said coldly.
Tao Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing this. By the time she reacted, a huge wave of emotions had already surged in her heart.
It turns out that girl Pei Tiantian is Pei Zhisheng’s child?
Pei Zhisheng, isn’t this his second marriage?
She had never heard of this matter. It seemed that her cousin Tao Shu had concealed a lot of things from them in order to marry Pei Zhisheng.
Tao Jing thought about it for a moment and felt that it was very reasonable.
The Tao family is a high-ranking official family, and there is no way they would marry their daughter to a divorced man.
If the Tao family knew about this, they would do everything they could to make Tao Shu abort the child no matter what.
Tao Jing asked: "Did Tiantian's mother divorce Pei Zhisheng?"
Wang Ruizhen's emotions stabilized. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said in a hoarse voice: "Tiantian's biological mother passed away a long time ago. Zhisheng said he would go out to work and earn money to support Tiantian, but he never came back!"
Tao Jing felt that her three views were challenged again.
Pei Zhisheng is such a person!
He left his hometown in a hurry before his wife's body was cold, and even soon had an affair with his cousin, and made her pregnant.
This is too despicable. Is he still a human being?
Tao Jing was really angry.
She was absolutely certain that Pei Zhisheng had deliberately hooked up with Tao Shu.
Tao Shu had always been busy with her career and had never been in a relationship. How could she resist the deliberate seduction of such a scheming scumbag?
"Teacher Tao, thank you for telling us these things today. Otherwise, our family would still be foolishly asking people for information about Zhisheng."
Pei Zhiqiang said.
Tao Jing shook her head. Seeing the Pei family so sad, she felt very sad.
Pei Tiantian, who had been sitting in the house for a long time, couldn't calm down for a long time.
How could she forget?
The wife that the scumbag father married, who came from a high-ranking official family, was named Tao Shu.
Tao Jing, Tao Shu.
From the names, it can be seen that Teacher Tao has a close relationship with the woman named Tao Shu.
