After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

At Christmas, Pei Jin prepared a Christmas deer girl outfit for Bai Tao.

A red, tight-fitting dress covered in sequins, the hem barely covering her buttocks.

It is trimmed with a white, fluffy edge, and features a deer headband and a pair of red gloves.

Bai Tao held the dress up in front of her, her expression complex.

This is the dress with the most fabric of all the dresses Pei Jin has ever bought for her, but it's a bit short, so short that it looks more like a top...

Bai Tao clutched the hem of her skirt, staring longingly at Pei Jin.

"and yours?"

Pei Jin took a step back, behind him was a neatly folded Santa Claus outfit, complete with a white beard and red hat.

When Bai Tao came out after changing into her dress, Pei Jin was changing his clothes.

He was wrapped up tightly in thick red velvet, and his white beard hung around his neck, not yet properly fastened, making him look like a red bear.

Bai Tao stood in front of him, looked down at her exposed legs, and then at his Santa Claus costume that covered her from head to toe.

Pei Jin pulled the chair in the bedroom to the front of the mirror, sat down, and patted his thigh.

He pulled Bai Tao to sit on him, and her skirt rose slightly with the movement, covering the front but not the back.

Pei Jin's large hand reached out from behind her, his palm resting on the edge of her skirt, his palm firmly against the exposed skin on the back of her thigh.

He raised his phone with his other hand and pressed the shutter button in front of the mirror.

Bai Tao turned her head, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, her voice tinged with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

"Pei Jin...who did you learn this from?"

How come you've even learned how to take photos?

Pei Jin glanced down at her, put his phone away, his hand still resting on the back of her leg.

"I just learned it recently."

......

When Pei Jin, wearing a beard, stood behind her, Bai Tao looked at herself in the mirror, and tears streamed down her face even more.

Pei Jin with the beard didn't seem like Pei Jin; it gave her the feeling that he was with someone else...

She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and the next second, Pei Jin's hand reached out from behind her head, forcing her to open her mouth.

"Baby, open your eyes."

Looking at you and me in the mirror.

......

That night, Pei Jin lay down next to Bai Tao, propping his head up and watching her sleep.

He now has over three million.

During his free time on the weekend, he went out and looked at a nice house.

With four million yuan and eighty square meters of living space, they will soon have their own house.

Country F

In the Nanfa Luxury Manor,

Min Jiaojiao, dressed in an elaborate fairy dress, and several little girls of similar age, held magic wands and circled around Santa Claus.

Tired from playing, she sat on the sofa. A little girl came over and sat next to her, pointing at the Santa Claus who was taking off his headgear.

"Look, that's our teacher, isn't he handsome?"

Min Jiaojiao glanced at it, somewhat unconvinced, but out of politeness, she still went along with it.

"It's alright..."

He was just an ordinary blond, blue-eyed foreign man.

The little girl was unhappy with what she said.

"Min Jiaojiao, do you have any taste? This handsome teacher is only 'okay' in your eyes!"

Min Jiaojiao frowned.

"You're talking so loudly, it's disturbing me."

She took another careful look at the man dressed as Santa Claus, then looked away.

"You call this handsome? Let me tell you, when I went to my mom's hometown, my tutor was way more handsome than this."

"Hmph, I don't believe you. You're definitely lying."

Min Jiaojiao took out her phone and started flipping through her photo album. Luckily, she had taken a photo with Teacher Pei back then.

She found it, clicked on the picture to enlarge it, and held it up to her friend.

"Look, isn't he handsome?"

Several little girls gathered around, glanced at it, and their voices rose several octaves.

Wow, the men in your country are so handsome!

Min Jiaojiao then put her phone away with satisfaction and looked down at the photo one last time.

Then she suddenly remembered something, lifted her fairy dress, and ran upstairs.

"Auntie, Auntie!"

Seeing her running so fast, and noticing her long skirt, the maid quickly followed beside her.

"Miss, please slow down, don't fall."

"Where's my aunt? Where is my aunt?"

"The lady is on the top floor."

Min Jiaojiao lifted her skirt and ran up to the top floor, panting as she pushed open the balcony door.

Shen Wanyin leaned against the open-air balcony alone, holding a glass of wine in her hand, gazing at the stars in the sky in a daze.

That was where her deceased lover was; she couldn't protect her lover, nor could she protect her child.

"Auntie, Auntie!"

A childish little girl's voice rang out, bringing Shen Wanyin back to her senses. Hearing footsteps behind her, she slowly turned around and saw the small figure running towards her. Only then did a smile appear on her face.

"Slow down, Jiaojiao."

She crouched down, caught the little girl who ran towards her, and reached out to tidy up the stray hairs that had been ruffled by the wind.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Min Jiaojiao caught her breath, kissed her, then found the group photo, held up her phone, and handed it to Shen Wanyin.

"Look! Auntie! This is the teacher my mom found for me when I went to Grandma's house. Don't his eyes look like yours?"

The moment Shen Wanyin saw the face in the photo, her gaze froze.

She looked at that face, at the familiar yet distant contours of those eyes with their slightly upturned corners.

My vision slowly blurred, tears welled up, and the light in my eyes became wet and blurry.

But the boy's face in the photo is slowly overlapping with the face she can never forget from her memory.

Min Jiaojiao waited a moment, but received no reply. She turned the photo around and looked at it again herself.

"Does it look like it? I think it does, but Mom says it doesn't."

Shen Wanyin did not answer.

She reached out and took the phone, her fingertips brushing against the edge of the screen, her fingertips hovering slightly above the outline of the person in the photo, as if afraid of breaking something.

She lowered her head, and a few tears fell onto the screen.

If so

That child certainly doesn't resemble her.

Because from the moment this child was born, both she and Xie Jiahe felt that he looked exactly like Jiahe when she was a child.

Shen Wanyin was quite unhappy at the time.

"I've been pregnant for so long, and apart from the eyes looking a bit like mine, the baby looks just like you."

Xie Jiahe smiled and coaxed her.

"If she looks like my wife, wouldn't she be too beautiful?"

Boys should be like me, handsome.

But only she and Jiahe were happy about the birth of this child.

When the baby was about to be born, Shen Wanyin was taking a shower at home when she accidentally stepped on some soap and slipped.

He was premature.

However, someone in the Xie family soon said that the child was born at an inauspicious time, and that a fortune teller had calculated that it would bring bad luck to the Xie family.

The Xie family is a prominent family, and they value these things the most, which is why they send their children away.

She and Jiahe tried their best to keep him.

This time wasn't chosen by the child; it's all her fault.

She didn't listen to Xie Jiahe and insisted on taking a bath by herself.

The patriarch of the Xie family initially agreed to keep him.

The price is that Jiahe, who doesn't like getting involved in family affairs, has to do things he doesn't like, just like his older brother.

Jiahe has been taken over by them.

Like a puppet.

Many nights, she would see Jiahe standing on the terrace, looking into the distance.

She felt a pang of sympathy. Jiahe was such a flamboyant and free spirit, yet for the sake of his child, he became a puppet of the family, just like his elder brother.

But every time, Jiahe would hug her and say that as long as the family is together, love can make up for the lack of freedom.

Unexpected events always come more suddenly than we imagine.

Jiahe was hit by a falling rock while participating in a relief effort and died instantly.

The patriarch of the Xie family could not accept this, believing that the child had killed his father first.

After losing her lover and her child, she seemed to have gone insane during that period.

She couldn't find her child, nor could she find her lover.

The Shen family was indeed powerful, but at that time, most of them were overseas.

The Xie family was practically all-powerful in that city; even money couldn't buy them anything.

Later, she suffered from postpartum depression and attempted suicide many nights at her home with Xie Jiahe, but all her attempts failed.

The Shen family forcibly took her away, intending for her to receive treatment abroad.

She lived in a nursing home for 10 years, and during those 10 years, she underwent five MECT scans.

She was only released when she could no longer remember Xie Jiahe's appearance and when her heart gradually became numb.

In all the years since she was released, it's not that she hasn't looked for her child.

However, the clue she found was that her child had gone to a small fishing town in the south and died while on the family's cruise ship at sea.

Min Jiaojiao looked at her aunt, who was crying uncontrollably, and felt extremely flustered.

It's all her fault. Mom clearly told her not to talk nonsense in front of her aunt.

She frantically wiped away Shen Wanyin's tears with her small hands.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, Auntie, I was wrong, please don't cry."

Shen Wanyin forced a smile and reached out to wipe away her tears.

They just look alike; there are just too many people in this world who look alike.

Moreover, the information she found out was that the child had died 10 years ago.

"Sweetie, Jiaojiao, tell your auntie, where did you see this older brother?"

"It's in my aunt's hometown; this is my tutor."

"Sweetie, do you know his name?"

Min Jiaojiao shook her head.

"I don't know, all I know is that this teacher's surname is Pei."

裴？

Shen Wanyin took a moment to process it. Having been away from the country for so many years, she had long since lost touch with these people in the business world.

裴，

She had never heard of this surname before.

"Do you know how old this teacher is?"

He said he was 24 years old.

Shen Wanyin's heart skipped a beat.

No... the age doesn't match... she should be 25.

But she still patted Min Jiaojiao's head.

"Honey, could you send this photo to your aunt?"

Min Jiaojiao nodded.

Shen Wanyin took her hand and led her slowly down the path.

"Jiaojiao, go play with the other children, Auntie has something to do."

Shen Wanyin walked to the back garden of the manor, stood on the wooden bridge, and looked at the goldfish swimming around below.

"lady."

Old Li was wearing a neatly tailored black Chinese-style long gown, with his hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, looking just like Lu Xun from the Chinese textbook.

Old Li watched Xie Jiahe grow up from a young age.

After Xie Jiahe came of age, she became his housekeeper.

After Xie Jiahe died, he stayed by Shen Wanyin's side.

"Old Li."

Shen Wanyin stood on the bridge, took out her phone, and opened the photo that Min Jiaojiao had sent her.

"Look at this."

Old Li took the phone, and the next second, he took off his glasses, leaned closer, and examined it carefully.

"this?"

He looked up at Shen Wanyin with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but not daring to speak.

Shen Wanyin looked at him, her eyes carrying a hint of certainty and a hint of probing.

"You think he looks like him too, don't you?"

This disdainful, indifferent attitude is like...

They even look alike...

Even the way they put on a cold, stern face and the corners of their mouths are very similar.

Old Li looked at it carefully again. He couldn't believe it. What if it was all just a coincidence?

But he missed him so much that he couldn't hold back his tears. If only the young master were still alive...

"Like... Madam."

"But the age doesn't match, it's a little short."

Old Li looked up with some regret.

"This? But..."

Shen Wanyin nodded.

"That's right, it's possible their age was changed."

His surname is Pei, and he worked as a teacher at this institution not long ago.

Go back to China, confirm it, and get a paternity test done between us.

Old Li was extremely excited, accepted the order, and left.

Shen Wanyin lowered her eyes and continued to look at the goldfish in the pond. Was it him?

They clearly said they would take good care of the child.

Why?

Why does this child seem to be living a less than wealthy life?

Shen Wanyin clenched her fists.

She wasn't confident she could fight the Xie family.

But things are different now. Those old fogies are dead, and the Xie family of today no longer has the same methods they used to have.

……

After returning to China, Lao Li spent more than half a month investigating.

His name is Pei Jin. The Pei family is a well-known wealthy family, but he is not the Pei family's biological son.

Strangely, the Pei family has had a son raised in their hometown for so many years, and Pei Jin had no idea of ​​his existence.

The year Pei Jin was born, the Pei family, for some unknown reason, went from being a relatively wealthy family to a powerful and influential one.

The day he was kicked out of his home was exactly three days after he and Shen Wanyin decided to return to F country and never return to this place of heartbreak.

Old Li rented a room in the same neighborhood as Pei Jin, right across from theirs.

Every morning, Old Li would see Pei Jin leave home at seven o'clock, carrying a bag of trash.

He usually doesn't get back until 11 p.m., sometimes even later, by which time Old Li has already fallen asleep because he can't stay up any longer.

On a few occasions, Pei Jin also carried a girl on his back.

Pei Jin only seems like he's 24 when that girl is around.

Sometimes he would deliberately lower his hand while walking, startling the girl so much that she would scream and then hug him tightly.

After Pei Jin catches her, she will angrily punch him twice, and then Pei Jin will carry her around in circles.

He took a few photos from a distance and sent them to Shen Wanyin.

He looks just like a young master, but he's more mature and composed than Xie Jiahe at this age.

Many times when passing by Pei Jin, Old Li couldn't help but want to cry.

If it really is him, that would be wonderful.

Heaven has eyes!

Heaven has eyes!

Shen Wanyin impulsively wanted to return to China several times, but was stopped by Lao Li each time.

He was worried that she would lose control of her emotions if she saw the Xie family, so he insisted on waiting until he had confirmed everything before letting her come back.

Shen Wanyin looked at the two figures standing side by side in the photo, and tears fell silently down her face.

How happy she is, just like she and Jiahe were back then.

What troubles Lao Li the most is that he doesn't know how to do a paternity test.
