After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

Chapter 9 She really is different from before.
An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Qin Song took a deep breath, forced a slightly stiff smile, and got out of the car.

"elder brother!"

"Do it!"

When Pei Xing got out of the car, Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan came forward to greet him.

"Mom, Xiaoxuan." Pei Xingzhi smiled gently, then turned his gaze to Qin Song on the other side.

Only then did Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan realize that Qin Song had also come along. Both mother and daughter were stunned, their eyes filled with surprise and wariness.

When Qin Song met their eyes, she instantly realized that Pei Xingzhi hadn't told them she would be coming back.

A strange emotion welled up inside her, but she quickly suppressed it.

Carrying the gifts she had bought yesterday, she walked over with Pei Xingzhi and greeted him first.

"Mom, Xiaoxuan."

mom……

Upon hearing this address, Pei's mother was stunned. Qin Song had actually started calling her "Mom"?! Had the sun risen in the west?
You should know that ever since Qin Song and Pei Xingzhi got married, Qin Song has never called her "Mom"... no, actually he did call her that once, when he received the "change of address fee," and that was all.

After that, Qin Song either addressed her as Madam Pei in a distant manner or called her "old widow" or "old woman" in a humiliating way.

Qin Song had never called her "Mom" so respectfully and without any ulterior motive before.

Pei's mother was so shocked that she forgot to respond.

Qin Song knew why Pei's mother reacted this way, but he still asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"...Ah?" Madam Pei snapped back to reality, looking up to meet Qin Song's clear eyes. She shook her head. "It's nothing, nothing..."

Qin Song smiled and handed the gift to Pei's mother: "Mom, this is a gift that Xingzhi and I bought for you and Xiaoxuan. It's not expensive, but please accept it."

Pei's mother was still in a daze. Hearing this, she reached out and touched Pei Lingxuan, who was standing next to her: "Xiaoxuan, quickly take your sister-in-law's things."

Pei Lingxuan remained unmoved and sneered, "Qin Song, what are you up to now? Didn't you say you were going to abort the child and divorce my brother? What are you still doing here?"

"..." Qin Song, in the body of the female supporting character, had no confidence to retaliate against such accusations.

She pursed her lips, took a breath with some frustration, and opened her mouth to explain something when she saw Pei's mother pull Pei Lingxuan's arm forcefully.

"Xiaoxuan, we're still outside, don't talk nonsense. Quickly take your sister-in-law's things."

"What kind of sister-in-law is she? Has she ever considered herself my sister-in-law? What kind of sister-in-law acts like her... She's no good person!"

Pei Lingxuan has a fiery temper, and unlike her mother, she doesn't care as much about her image in the eyes of others. She's straightforward and will yell at you on the spot if she's unhappy, no matter the occasion.

"Qin Song, our family is in such a state, so just say what your scheme is. Don't put on this hypocritical act in front of me. After all, you said it yourself: our Pei family is just a dilapidated house now. Staying with us will lower your status!"

"……sorry."

Pei Lingxuan said many hurtful things, but Qin Song's only response was an apology. She didn't stand with her hands on her hips and argue with Pei Lingxuan like she usually did, nor did she show any resentment or frustration.

She lowered her head, her expression solemn, and her "I'm sorry" was spoken with utmost sincerity.

"...What are you doing?" Pei Lingxuan was completely dumbfounded. "What, are you not going to play the shrew today, but instead playing the pitiful little white flower?"

"Xiaoxuan!"

Pei Xingzhi only spoke up to stop her now. From the moment Qin Song got out of the car, he had been observing her reaction. Just like the previous days, he hadn't found any flaws in Qin Song's expression. Her reactions were natural, her eyes were natural, and her expression was natural, as if she were truly repentant.

“Your sister-in-law is not the same as before, so don’t argue with her anymore.” As he said this, Pei Xingzhi’s eyes were still fixed on Qin Song out of the corner of his eye.

Qin Song nodded and followed his words, saying, "I was wrong before. From now on, I will change all my bad habits. I will not divorce Xingzhi, nor will I abort this child. I will give birth to him and raise him well with Xingzhi."

"..."

Both Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan were stunned.

What did Qin Song say? How could she say such a thing?
The mother and daughter could not believe it at all.

Pei's mother stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and after a long pause, asked in a trembling voice, "You, what you're saying is all true? You won't divorce Xingzhi, and you won't abort the child?"

"Really." Qin Song looked directly into Pei's mother's eyes, his eyes full of sincerity. "This child is our family's only hope in this difficult situation, so of course I want to give birth to him."

"...Qin Song, have you taken the wrong medicine?" Pei Lingxuan had been fighting with Qin Song for months, and when she suddenly heard her say these words today, her first reaction was that she had taken the wrong medicine and messed up her brain.

"Xiao Xuan!" Pei's mother nudged Pei Lingxuan's arm and gave her a stern look. "Don't talk to your sister-in-law like that."

"Mom..." Pei Lingxuan was both confused and deeply shocked.

Pei's mother ignored her. She adjusted her expression, took two steps forward, and personally took the things from Qin Song's hands: "Qin Song, thank you, thank you for being willing to give birth to this child. Let's go home, Mom has made something delicious for you."

Qin Song smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Mom."

Pei Xingzhi, who had been watching Qin Song, took the lead upon hearing this and said, "Let's go."

Pei's mother's house is located in the central courtyard of the community. It's only a three-minute walk from the community entrance to the building.

The four of them took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they entered, Qin Song went to the restroom.

She had been nervous all morning about meeting Pei's mother, and forgot to go to the toilet as soon as she left the house; she had been holding it in the whole way.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing the bathroom door close, Pei's mother and Pei Lingxuan simultaneously cast questioning glances at Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi looked in the direction of the restroom and shook his head: "She suddenly became like this. I don't know why either."

"Is she plotting something bad?" Pei Lingxuan lowered her voice. "When our family was doing well, she didn't treat you well, but now that we're down on our luck, she's suddenly having a change of heart? That doesn't make sense. Maybe she's just pretending."

Pei Xingzhi's handsome brows furrowed slightly, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "At first, I also suspected she was faking it, but after observing her these past few days, I haven't found any flaws in her. She's not good at pretending; if she really wanted to, she could never have done it so well."

"Can't find any flaws? Then she's truly repentant?" Pei Lingxuan glanced in the direction of the restroom, not even believing her own words.

Pei Xingzhi shook his head again: "I don't know, I can't understand her."

"Whether she's faking it or not, as long as she's willing to give birth to the Pei family's child, I'll thank her." Pei's mother didn't want to dwell on it; to her, she was already grateful that Qin Song was willing to keep the child in her womb.

Pei Xingzhi grunted in agreement, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then began to help serve the dishes.

Qin Song came out of the restroom just in time for dinner. She knew that the Pei family didn't trust her anymore, so she didn't say much while eating and just focused on her food.

"Try this beef. I bought it at the market early this morning. It's very fresh."

Although Qin Song had always disliked her cooking, today Pei's mother still tried to put a piece of beef on her plate. She said she would change, and even if she didn't know if it was true, Pei's mother was willing to give her another chance for the sake of the child.
