Chapter 478: Who does the child look like?
Chapter 478 Who does the child look like?
One of them said: "This little baby is so beautiful."
Another one said: "Isn't it true? Her eyes and mouth look just like my mother's."
One said: "The eyes are somewhat similar, but the mouths don't look much alike."
Another said: “The mouth doesn’t look like dad either.”
One was silent for a while and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Look carefully. There doesn't seem to be any part of this baby that looks like his father."
The other one was a little surprised and looked at the baby carefully: "When you say that, it's true. It's so strange. Tell me, could this child be..."
A man was so frightened that he quickly interrupted her, "What are you talking about? It's normal for boys to be more like their mothers. Stop talking nonsense. Be careful if it reaches your husband's ears. It's easy to lose your job."
The other one was too frightened to say anything nonsense.
The two of them changed the subject and talked about something else.
Grandma Ye was shocked, as if a bright lightning flashed across her heart, and she suddenly understood why Pei Ziheng was indifferent to the baby. It's possible that this child is not his at all!
This is simply too terrible. What happened in the meantime that made Xiao Ling take someone else's child to marry Pei Ziheng, and how could Pei Ziheng tolerate their mother and son by his side?
Grandma Ye was thinking about it when suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, slightly heavy, like a man walking away. The driver couldn't enter the inner house, and the only man in the family was Pei Ziheng. Grandma Ye knew in her heart that Pei Ziheng must have heard the conversation between the two nannies.
Grandma Ye thought for a while and followed the footsteps and walked out.
On the terrace, the breeze was blowing, and there was the cool fragrance of plum blossoms in the air.
Pei Ziheng lit a cigarette, looking lonely.
Grandma Ye was blind, following the smell of smoke, she called tentatively: "Sir, are you here?"
Pei Ziheng turned around and saw her. Without saying a word, he put out the cigarette. It's not that he is afraid that Grandma Ye will find his traces, but that he grew up in a wealthy family and received a good education. Putting out cigarettes in front of women is already a kind of upbringing and instinct.
Grandma Ye discovered his location based on this slight movement.
Grandma Ye asked softly: "Mr. Pei, did you hear what I just said?"
Pei Ziheng just looked at her coldly.
Grandma Ye still said to the air: "Mr. Pei, I know you feel uncomfortable. Is it because what they said is true?"
Pei Ziheng finally opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "This is none of your business."
Grandma Ye felt clear in her heart. It seemed that the baby was indeed not his biological child, and he probably knew it already. There was a bit of compassion in Grandma Ye's expression, "Sir, it's really not easy for you to raise this child. I didn't expect the truth to be like this. It's no wonder that you are a little cold towards their mother and son."
Pei Ziheng was silent again. He looked at the blind old woman in front of him and wondered, should he drive her out? Grandma Ye has continued - "Sir, I know that you must love Xiao Ling very much. Originally, you were so cold to her, I thought you didn't love her. But now I know that this child is not your biological child, so "You must have a very deep feeling for Xiao Ling if you can tolerate her to this extent."
Pei Ziheng's expression softened slightly. He did not expect Grandma Ye to say this to him.
From a young age, no one dared to speak to him like this, and no one had ever understood or sympathized with how much pain he was carrying. Everyone looked up to him, worshiped him, and hated him, but no one knew the darkness behind the glory, which he faced alone. Even Xiao Ling doesn’t know.
But the blind old woman in front of him spoke to him lovingly.
Such tenderness made him a little unaccustomed.
He said in a hoarse voice, "It's not hard. There are just a few children at home, and it's not like we can't afford to raise them."
The compassion in Grandma Ye's eyes became even stronger, and she said, "Sir, how sad you must be when you know this. This is life, Xiao Ling's life, and your life. Sir, although I don't know Why did Xiaoling give birth to this child that does not belong to you? But I can see that she has been working very hard to live a good life with you. She has accepted her fate, and you have also accepted your fate. Since you have allowed this child to be raised at home, then. , If you can't tolerate him, what else can you get except competing with yourself and being unhappy?"
Pei Ziheng snorted coldly: "Happy? I've done my best to keep him alive. Do you want me to greet other men's children with a smile?"
But Grandma Ye said: "You can't say that, sir. You and Xiao Ling are hiding it from everyone because you want to hide the child's true life experience. From the moment this child was born, you have been raising him and taking care of her. When he grows up, he will only recognize you as his father."
“Absurd.” Pei Ziheng said coldly.
How could Li Lei's child be his child?
Grandma Ye knows that aloof men like him are usually very stubborn. She hesitated for a moment and then said it another way: "Taking a step back, if Xiao Ling gives birth to your real son in the future, he and this baby will be brothers. Brothers can take care of each other. Whatever happens in the future, We can also support each other. Sir, you are a person who does great things and know how important it is to have someone you can trust by your side. Why don't you leave a brother like this for your future son? I will treat my brother well."
Pei Ziheng was silent for a long time, and then said to Grandma Ye, "I don't want to hear this."
Grandma Ye sighed, knowing that she could only persuade her to this point, so she turned around and walked back. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "If the brothers start to fight against each other in the future, Xiao Ling will be so sad."
Pei Ziheng wanted to smoke again.
He ignored Grandma Ye, turned around, and went downstairs from the other end of the terrace.
In the small garden, Xia Ling was holding her baby in her arms and basking in the sun. The rash on the baby's body had subsided, revealing soft and smooth skin in the sun. The baby's smile is bright and pure, innocent and innocent.
Pei Ziheng looked at them from a distance.
Xia Ling inadvertently raised her head and saw Pei Ziheng. His expression, which was originally smiling when teasing the baby, suddenly stiffened. Alertly hold the child closer to your arms.
The two looked at each other for a long time across the garden.
The child in her arms began to cry.
Xia Ling then realized that she was holding the child too tightly, so she quickly relaxed her grip and coaxed him carefully and gently. The baby was still crying. The nanny came over, took the baby from Xia Ling's arms, and said to the baby, "Be good, don't cry. Come and play with Auntie."
