Chapter 297 Not a Son, but a Nephew
"What's the matter?" Chen Meng asked doubtfully.
Qiao Ning said, "It's about Dudu, mom. Tell me, do you know a person named Pei Zhi?"
Chen Meng: ..."
Her face turned pale and it took her a while to react.
But when she realized it, she shook her head vigorously, "No, I don't know anyone named Pei Zhi. I don't even know anyone surnamed pei. Don't ask me. I have to go shopping. You guys sit here first."
"Mom, why are you so excited?" Qiao Ning didn't expect her mother to be so excited all of a sudden and quickly held her shoulder and sat down.
But Chen Meng was still very excited and shouted, "I'm not excited. What am I excited about? Ning, don't talk nonsense. I don't know pei at all. What do you want me to say? I'm going to buy vegetables. I don't want to stay at home."
Qiao Ning was stunned by her mother's reaction. She was not so excited to know that Faang Yuandong betrayed her mother. Why did she suddenly become so excited today?
Li Chengyan had been watching from the side with deep eyes and frowned when he saw Chen Meng's excited look. She quickly went to the medicine box beside her and rummaged through it. Sure enough, she found the sedative and motioned for Qiao Ning to give her one.
Qiao Ning asked Li Chengyan to pour some water and forced Chen Meng to take one.
After taking the medicine, Chen Meng's mood was indeed much more stable, but he seemed very tired. She said she was sleepy and wanted to rest, so she asked Qiao Ning to help her into the room.
When Qiao Ning came out of the room, he said to Li Chengyan helplessly, "My mother is asleep."
"Looks like she really has something to do with Pei Zhi," Li Chengyan said.
Qiao Ning frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
Li Chengyan said faintly, "As soon as she heard Pei Zhi's name, she became agitated. Can't that explain anything? She has absolutely something to do with Pei Zhi, or knows him."
Qiao Ning was silent. It was the first time she had seen her mother so excited.
In fact, she had already believed Li Chengyan's words in her heart, but she really didn't understand. How could a middle-aged woman like her mother, who had been in a coma for many years, know someone like Pei Zhi?
"Ning, have you ever thought about your background?" Li Chengyan suddenly asked.
Qiao Ning was stunned and said in surprise, "What background?"
"Your biological father is not Qiao Wenyuan. Have you ever thought about who your biological father is?" Li Chengyan asked.
Qiao Ning suddenly came to his senses and muttered after a long time, "You mean..."
"I'm just guessing. There's no concrete evidence. As for whether it's the truth or not, your mother has to tell it herself," Li Chengyan said.
Qiao Ning frowned. She thought of her mother's panic when she mentioned that man. But she never thought that she would have anything to do with Pei Zhi.
However, she suddenly thought of Wang Zhan's joke, saying that Pei Zhi and she still looked a little alike. Could it be that she really had something to do with Pei Zhi? That's why Pei Zhi and Qiao Li had a paternity test to determine that Qiao Li was his son.
Li Chengyan also thought of what she was thinking, but he didn't say it. He wanted to wait until Chen Meng calmed down and tell them all this.
And they were just guessing that Pei Zhi was sure.
As soon as she got into the car after leaving the hotel, her face was so cold that it was frightening.
Today was li shu driving. Li shu had been with Pei Zhi for many years, and his relationship with Pei Zhi was like that of Chen Heng and Li Chengyan. Seeing Pei Zhi's gloomy face, he quickly asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Pei? What happened?"
Pei Zhi said with a grim face, "Now I finally know why my blood relationship with that child is only half. That child is not my son at all, but my nephew."
Statement: ..."
"You mean the child..."
Pei Zhi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's go home first! I want to think about this."
The statement nodded and immediately started the car to send Pei Zhi home.
As soon as Pei Zhi arrived at the house, the butler came up to him and reported to him what happened to Qiao Li today.
Qiao Li ran out and was happy to see Pei Zhi come back. He jumped up and hugged his leg and said, "Dad, you're back. Dad, you can play with me!"
Pei Zhi knew Qiao Li's identity, and it was very awkward to hear him call him his father.
After a while, he took a deep breath, squatted down and touched his head, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Li tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
"I'm not your father." Pei Zhi felt that it was cruel to say that, but it was even more cruel not to say it.
He had always followed the principle of telling the truth and did not want to deceive the child on this matter.
Sure enough, Qiao Li stared at him with wide eyes.
After a while, he muttered, "I told you you weren't, but you said you were. Look! You're not!"
"I'm sorry." Pei Zhi apologized.
Qiao Li shook his head and said, "It's okay. Then you can be my godfather! Aunt Xu Meng said what she wanted to do with me. You can be my godfather, so I have several parents."
Pei Zhi couldn't help but laugh, amused by the little guy's words.
But he didn't expect this little guy to be so cute and godfather. He knew a lot.
"Do you miss your parents? They're already here for you. If you miss them, I can send you there," Pei Zhi added.
Qiao Li immediately widened her eyes and said happily, "Really? You really want me to find my parents? Great, great."
Pei Zhi was in a bad mood for a moment, and he felt all sorts of guilt for the child just now. But now that he heard that his parents were here, he immediately looked excited and sighed. Sure enough, he had been raised for so long in vain, just like a little wolf with white eyes.
But now that he knew what was going on, he didn't want to take the child with him anymore. It wasn't that he didn't want to take him with him, but that his parents were here, and it wouldn't be good for him to occupy him.
So he asked the butler to pack up and send him back.
The butler said doubtfully, "Master, where are you sending the young master? Madam is coming back. I heard that she still needs to see the young master about the young master."
Pei Zhi was stunned and frowned, "Who told madam about the young master?"
The butler said awkwardly, "Yes... I said it. Once, madam called and the young master was making a noise over there. Madam heard the young master's voice, so she asked me what happened. I thought... I told madam. Madam was very happy. She called today and said that she would come to see the young master in two days."
Pei Zhi looked at him with a dark face, not knowing what to say about him.
He was also an old housekeeper in the Pei Family for many years, and he actually made such a low-level mistake.
The butler immediately lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't do well in this matter."
"Forget it. Let's not pack up first!" .
