DAVM Chapter 65.1

Pei Jing looked at Pei Zhen in disbelief.

But, Pei Zhen just repeated: “Pei Jing, this is Uncle Tao.”

Pei Jing pursed his lips tightly. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, feeling betrayed. Isn’t this man a bad person? He almost hit his mother last time. Why did his mother let him call him uncle?

The man looked at Pei Jing and smiled: “Your name is Pei Jing?”

Pei Jing did not want to answer him, but Pei Zhen held his hand tightly: “Pei Jing, Uncle is asking you something.”

Pei Jing lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, “Yes.”

“Pei Jing, be obedient.”

Pei Jing’s body stiffened slightly. He thought about what his mother had told him before they moved, to be obedient and sensible. He had always tried hard to do so.

Pei Jing bit his lip and called out in a low voice, “Uncle Tao.”

“Okay.” The man handed him a red envelope, “It’s for you.”

Pei Jing took it under Pei Zhen’s signal: “Thank you, Uncle Tao.”

“Pei Jing, go up and do your homework. Don’t come down if you have nothing to do.” Pei Zhen said.

Pei Jing squeezed the red envelope tightly. When his hand was released, he walked upstairs step by step, but he stopped when he reached the second floor. He turned around and saw that his mother took the initiative to hug Uncle Tao.

Pei Jing knew that such intimate actions could only be done by husband and wife, but Uncle Tao was not his father.

Pei Jing can understand those words, does his mother really not know who his father is? Pei Jing thought of the Uncle he saw in the shopping mall that day. They looked very similar. The Uncle looked like he would not hit people, but he already had a daughter.

Pei Jing did not know why his mother took the initiative to hug Uncle Tao since Uncle Tao treated her so badly last time.

But he was just a child and could not do anything. He closed the room. The sound insulation of the room at home was very good, so he could not hear the sound from outside. Pei Jing pinched the red envelope and did not open it until the sweat on his palms moistened the red envelope. There are many one-hundred-yuan bills inside.

Pei Jing counted it, and there were two thousand yuan. His hands were tightened. He did not want the money given by Uncle Tao at all, but he knew how important money was to life.

When he lived with his grandmother, he had to save every cent he had.

Pei Jing pursed his lips and put the two thousand yuan together with the money Pei Zhen gave him last time, as well as the money that originally existed. He counted it carefully several times, and it added up to more than three thousand yuan.

He thought, if he went back with the money, would Grandma still think he was a drag or a burden?

Pei Jing stayed alone in his room reading a book and fell asleep very late. He woke up in the middle of the night and heard a familiar voice speaking.

“Why aren’t you his child…”

Pei Jing was a little dazed when he woke up. When he opened his sleepy eyes, he found that the bedside lamp was on. The light was dim, reflecting the figure of the person standing beside his bed.

“Mom.” Pei Jing recognized the person and shouted softly, holding Pei Zhen’s hand with his hand. His voice was soft and rustling, “Aren’t you going to bed yet, Mom?”

“I’m going to sleep. I want to see you.”

Pei Jing’s head gradually cleared up. He was a little shy when he heard this sentence and said in a low voice, “I can sleep by myself. Mom doesn’t have to worry.”

Pei Zhen gave a light ‘um’, raised her hand, and touched Pei Jing’s hair.

Pei Jing blinked, feeling very comfortable having his mother touch his head. He sometimes would see Aunt Si Tian touching Ningyi and Zhile’s heads like this.

Pei Zhen sat in front of the bed, lowered her head quietly, and closed her eyes. Her silhouette was gentle and beautiful, which was far different from before.

During this period of getting along, Pei Zhen’s changes made Pei Jing’s fear disappear a lot. He took the initiative to approach, sat down next to Pei Zhen, and asked in a low voice, “Is Mom unhappy today?”

He is sensible and precocious, and Pei Zhen often does not treat him as a first-grade child. She said: “I got what I have been pursuing, but I have to give up something…”

Pei Jing thought for a while and asked, “Then, is Mom reluctant to let go?”

“I’m a bit reluctant now.” Pei Zhen’s face was a little sad.

Pei Jing said: “Then choose whichever one Mom thinks is more important.”

“I will always support Mom’s decision,” He said.
