The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1396: I Only Want You (94)

"I won't. Pei Yi, I have a way to stop your mother from being agitated. You may be fulfilling her wishes and allowing her to die without regrets, but don't you think you're being too unfair to me and our son? Your mother might never find out who Pei Ling really belongs to, even when she's dead. Is it really appropriate for you to keep up with this huge lie? Pei Yi, I hope you'll give me this chance. Maybe I'll be able to persuade your mother."

"What solution could you possibly have?"

Staring at him solemnly, Jing Chu said, "Can't you just give me a chance? I'll give it a try."

After much consideration, Pei Yi decided to give her a chance.

He nodded and said, "On the condition that you don't provoke her…"

Jing Chu understood his qualms.

When she tried to sit up straight again, he pushed her down and said, "I haven't even started and you already want to get up?"

"Start what…"

He said with raised brows, "You'll find out soon enough."

While he was on top of her, Jing Chu pushed him away and said solemnly, "Don't touch me until you get a divorce."

Pei Yi conceded.

He instructed Qin Guo to prepare a few dresses, a few pairs of shoes, and some cosmetic products. However, Qin Guo had yet to find out about Jing Chu's presence and was thus astounded by his request.

She finally understood the reason behind his request when she saw Jing Chu exiting in the set of clothes and shoes that she had bought.

She stood rooted to the ground in shock and stared at Jing Chu, at a complete loss for words.

The last time she saw Jing Chu, Jing Chu was merely a plain Jane who dressed simply, though her plain attire did not dampen her beauty. However, she looked stunningly gorgeous and breathtaking now that she had put effort into dolling herself up.

Qin Guo knew that Pei Yi was one who cared about a woman's appearance more than anything else. He probably didn't kill An Xiaoning because of how pretty she was. Likewise, he couldn't get over this woman probably also because of her ravishing beauty, Qin Guo thought to herself.

However, she dared not speak to Jing Chu because the latter exited the room together with Pei Yi.

Before taking Jing Chu to meet his mother, Pei Yi gave the caretaker a call to confirm that Tian Tian was not around. If Tian Tian was around, his mother definitely wouldn't listen to what Jing Chu had to say.

Pei Yi pulled up by the entrance and Jing Chu said to him, "Go in ten minutes from now."

Worried that she would upset his mother, Pei Yi instructed, "Be mindful of your words. My mother is already seriously ill."

Jing Chu nodded and said, "I'll be careful with what I say."

She alighted from the car as soon as she finished speaking.

Mrs. Pei slipped into a daze again after having breakfast. She had just woken up when Jing Chu entered.

Upon the sight of her arrival, Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up in shock and the caretaker waited outside the door, just like Pei Yi had instructed.

"Hello, Madam."

"How… did you… know that I was here? Who let you in? Did you forget what I told you two years ago?"

"I didn't. I came here today because I had something to say to you, Madam. Could you hear me out?" Jing Chu said in a gentle voice.

"Speak your mind and leave as soon as you're done," Mrs. Pei said in annoyance.

"Madam, I know it's been hard on you. It's not easy having to raise Mr. Pei singlehandedly. However, your filial son has never bared his true feelings to you because he's worried about making you upset and further aggravating your condition. He has your best interests at heart and spares a thought for you before making any decisions. Yet, you only ever care about yourself. Madam, have you ever put yourself in your son's shoes?"

Before Mrs. Pei could answer, Jing Chu continued, "I became an orphan ever since I was a child. My mother abandoned me when I was young and she sold me for money. I never knew what it was like to be loved by my mother. However, I still believe that not all mothers are the same as mine. I still believe that most mothers are noble and would consider the feelings and wellbeing of their children. Their greatest wish is to see their children happy. Most mothers wouldn't force their wishes onto their children and compel them against their own will. Madam, have you ever thought about what might happen to Mr. Pei and Ms. Tian after you pass away?"

"Those are none of your business," Mrs. Pei hissed.

Jing Chu said, "I'm the biological mother of your grandson, of course it's my business."

"What… what did you say? Repeat yourself," said Mrs. Pei, who thought that she had heard her wrongly.

Jing Chu said unrestrainedly, "When you forced Mr. Pei and Ms. Tian to marry each other two years ago, Mr. Pei did not plan to stay with her forever and hence opted for IVF treatments. He carried out artificial insemination using my ova and his sperm, after which the fertilized embryo was planted into Ms. Tian's womb. Of course, Ms. Tian doesn't know about this either. This is the DNA test results that Mr. Pei and I obtained last night. I only found out about this last night too."

She handed the test report to Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei leaned against the bed and stared at the report with trembling hands.

She was filled with agony after reading it.

Jing Chu put the report away and took a look at the time on her watch before saying, "Madam, you've seen it for yourself. Your son married a woman whom he doesn't love just so he could please you. He even carried out IVF treatments using my ova behind my back. He did all of these for you, but have you ever spared a thought for him? Madam, how long do you think their marriage can really last? You may force them to stay together when you're alive, but what happens when you're dead…?"

Mrs. Pei remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"My main purpose for telling you these things today is because I want you to know that I'd like to take good care of my son. I was maligned and put behind bars for two years. I didn't know of his existence before, but now that I do, I feel terribly upset and I can't just leave him alone. Pei Ling is still so young. He might not know who his biological mother is right now, but he'll find out sooner or later. Mr. Pei didn't want to tell you about these things because he wanted you to go in peace. He didn't want to provoke you or make you upset, yet you denied him of his freedom and his rights to pursue his own happiness. You forced him to marry a woman he doesn't love at all. That's the difference between you and Mr. Pei."

Mrs. Pei teared up and stared at the young and beautiful woman before her. "How did you meet my son?"

Jing Chu answered, "Mr. Pei saved my life twice when he was in S Nation for a vacation."

Mrs. Pei had no idea since Pei Yi had never told her about it before. She simply thought that Jing Chu was a random mistress he met somewhere.
