I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

  Chapter 221 Pei Jingzhou: You are Mrs. Pei, no one can make you bow your head

  Li Xiwu did not return to Luhu tonight.

  She went to the vegetable market alone, bought her favorite vegetables, and then drove back to the small courtyard in the suburbs.

  Turn on the heat, change your coat, put on your apron, pull up your hair, and start working on dinner.

   Add pure milk to the butter hot pot base, put in your favorite dishes, and serve a mala tang with excellent color and fragrance.

   Except for the steaming Mala Tang in front of him, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet and lonely.

  She poured herself a cup of peach blossom brew, which was delicious and mellow. Although the aftertaste was endless, she felt that something was missing, so she replaced the peach blossom brew with throat-burning white wine, and felt satisfied.

  Pei Jingzhou called.

  Li Xiwu picked it up: "Fourth brother."

  Pei Jingzhou didn't ask where she was or what she was doing, but only asked, "Are you going home tonight?"

  Li Xiwu endured the discomfort in his throat: "I won't return."

  Pei Jingzhou: "Yes."

  Li Xiwu: "If there is nothing else, let's do this first."

  Pei Jingzhou: "How?"

  Li Xiwu pursed her lips: "It's over."

   "Wife."

   A deep and deep voice called "wife" came from the receiver, with an indescribable tenderness and tenderness.

  The corners of Li Xiwu's lips rose: "Fourth Brother, go to bed early, I'll leave it to you tonight."

  Pei Jingzhou smiled lowly: "In order to wait for you, we haven't had dinner yet. We are cold and hungry, and my wife doesn't care about it."

   Li Xiwu was slightly surprised: "Cold and hungry?"

  Pei Jingzhou: "Well, I'm hallucinating from hunger, and I can vaguely smell the aroma of hot pot. I don't know if it's hot pot."

  Li Xiwu: "..."

  She raised her eyes slowly, and saw outside the originally dark courtyard, a glare of light directed towards the direction of the gate.

   Li Xiwu ended the call and got up, walking towards the door.

  When she walked to the door, the high beams were replaced with low beams. She saw Pei Jingzhou sitting in the driver's seat. He was looking at her with a slight smile in his eyes.

  Li Xiwu opened the door of the small courtyard and came out, at that time Pei Jingzhou had already got out of the car.

  Li Xiwu came over and asked, "Where are you biting?"

  Pei Jingzhou said in a sassy tone: "It seems that the brat is more important to you than me."

  Li Xiwu pursed his lips and smiled: "Then if you say that, I can't explain it."

  Pei Jingzhou: "Quotations from scum girls."

  Li Xiwu:?

  With a pleasant smile on the corner of Pei Jingzhou's lips, he turned his face to signal: "He is in the car."

   Li Xiwu walked over.

  In the back seat, biting his body curled up and fell asleep, probably because of the light sleep, Li Xiwu just opened the car door, biting woke up.

The moment Bite saw Li Xiwu, he probably thought he was dreaming, so when Li Xiwu hugged Bite, Bite didn't react very surprised, and took the initiative to put his arms around Li Xiwu's neck. Whispering: "Mom..."

   Li Xiwu froze.

  She knows that this is a child's instinct, even if there is no mother around, she will always fantasize about having a mother. Although it doesn't usually show it, it will inadvertently reveal the desire for family affection.

  She carried Bite Bite into the small courtyard and put him on the bed in the house to let him continue to sleep.

  When she turned on the heater and came out, Pei Jingzhou had already taken a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat down at the small table waiting for her.

  After she came and sat down, she looked up at him: "How can fourth brother be sure that I'm here? What if I'm at Qiao Qiao's."

  Pei Jingzhou changed her wine to the original Peach Blossom Brew: "Even if you're not here, it's just a waste of time."

   After saying that, Pei Jingzhou also raised his eyes to look at her. The two looked at each other, and the smile in his eyes didn't diminish: "As for your friend, he should be in trouble recently."

  Li Xiwu rested his elbows on the table and rested his chin on his palm: "Fourth brother even knows this."

  Pei Jingzhou: "More than that, I know everything about you."

   Li Xiwu was startled, and slowly lowered the hand resting on his chin

  Pei Jingzhou was obviously not joking, he poured her a glass of peach blossom wine and put it in front of her: "Baijiu burns the throat, just taste it."

  Li Xiwu picked up the glass of peach blossom wine that Pei Jingzhou poured for her: "I'm burning my throat and thinking about my mistakes."

  Pei Jingzhou: "Reflect?"

   "Yes." Li Xiwu took a sip and said, "After all, I did something wrong."

  Pei Jingzhou's eyes darkened a little: "If you talk about doing wrong things, I have done many wrong things in my life, and all of them are in front of your matter, and your trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

  Li Xiwu pursed her lips and remained silent.

  She is well aware of the history of the Pei family's fortune, which is not open and aboveboard.

  But think about it, how many rich and powerful people have a clean family history.

  Probably to continue the topic, she followed his topic and asked, "Can Fourth Brother talk to me about this?"

  Pei Jingzhou brows frivolously: "Want to hear?"

  Li Xiwu pursed her lips: "It's boring anyway, so let's pass the time."

  Pei Jingzhou's lips smiled, and he narrated the past in a flat tone.

   Spread it out and listen carefully, each piece is shuddering.

  Li Xiwu had never asked about these things before. The less he knew about the affairs of the rich and powerful, the safer he would be.

  Hearing the end, Li Xiwu suddenly realized that Pei Jingzhou seemed to be... comforting her?

  Facts are just as she thought, Pei Jingzhou switched the topic to the matter that is currently bothering her: "This is just a small matter that can be ignored, not enough to bother you, and even affect your mood."

  Li Xiwu has her own concerns: "But..."

  Pei Jingzhou: "No but."

  His tone is domineering and authoritarian: "You are Mrs. Pei, no one can make you bow your head."

   Li Xiwu was stunned.

   I remember knowing Pei Jingzhou for three years, and the two rarely sat down to talk about it, and he never asked her about her concerns, but it was probably because at that time she was devoted to her career and had nothing on her mind.

  As for the details of the Pei family, at first she thought she was not qualified to ask, but later she thought it was unnecessary to ask.

  Thinking about it now, she has always kept the distance between herself and Pei Jingzhou very wide.

  She never took the initiative to tell him about her affairs, but every time he would silently solve it for her...

  When his thoughts were wandering, Pei Jingzhou who was sitting across from him slowly stood up and sat beside her.

  The two are next to each other.

Li Xiwu looked sideways, and saw Pei Jingzhou leaning over slowly, with his lips close to her ear: "As Mrs. Pei, you can do whatever you want, let you walk sideways throughout the capital, no matter what you do, the sky is big. I can take care of everything for you, so what are you worried about?"

   Li Xiwu's breath stagnates: "I..."

  Pei Jingzhou raised his hand to cup her face, and turned to face him sideways: "Is it because of the agreed marriage contract three years ago?"

  Li Xiwu's breathing was stagnant again, and his throat was a little congested: "Fourth brother, there is still more than a month before our agreed marriage contract will expire, and by then, I will no longer be Mrs. Pei."
