During the meal, the more Pei's mother looked at Pei Xiao, the more she liked her.

She knew her son's character very well. For so many years, she and Pei's father were worried about whether his son had a problem with his sexual orientation. Although Yu Jing swore to them that Pei Xiujie must like girls, the days passed and Pei Xiujie showed no signs of falling in love. She still had some doubts in her heart, but it was not that she was against it. It was just that as she got older, she could not help but envy the happiness of those around her who had children and grandchildren around them.

As for urging him to get married, they didn't dare to do it. Although Pei Xiujie looked quite gentle, his mother, as his biological mother, knew that he was stubborn, and she and his father could not make decisions for him.

She could also see Qi You's little thoughts and knew that Qi You had some feelings for her son, otherwise he wouldn't always try to please her. But Pei Xiujie didn't like her, and Pei's mother couldn't do anything about it.

In the past, Pei's mother might have some opinions about Pei Xiujie's love for female stars. Ordinary people always think that the entertainment industry is too mixed. But now...

She was thankful that Pei Xiujie had someone he liked, so it was not her turn to choose.

"How old is Xiaoxiao this year?"

"I'm 25."

"Oh, you're really young, two years younger than Xiu Jie. Before I came here, I heard Yu Jing say that you were recording a show? What's it called?"

"Mom, it's just a variety show, you don't watch it..."

"Auntie, I know. It's called "Heartbeat". It's very popular. Xiaoxiao is very popular in it. Many boys like her~"

Pei Xiujie's voice and Qi You's voice rang out at the same time. Pei Xiao looked at Pei Xiujie and saw that he was obviously unhappy. Pei's mother didn't care about the second half of Qi You's words, and said with a smile:

"'Falling in Love', OK, I'll remember it. You're the same kid, you didn't even tell your family that you were on TV. Your dad and I didn't even know you were on TV."

"There's nothing much to say. You don't usually watch these."

"Although your dad and I don't watch TV very much, it's different with you around."

Pei Xiujie showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Pei Xiao saw that Pei Xiujie didn't tell his family that he was participating in the show because he didn't want them to see what he looked like in the show. It was also difficult for Pei Xiujie, who was socially anxious.

Pei Xiao couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of this. Pei's mother hadn't watched the show, and she thought of what Qi You said just now that Pei Xiao had other suitors in the show, and she didn't know what the other people were like, so she quickly said:

"Xiaoxiao, I'm a straightforward person. I don't find it interesting to beat around the bush. Our family conditions may be average in your eyes. Pei Xiujie's father and I are ordinary people. I'm a teacher, and his father used to be a soldier and now works in the fire department. I don't know what your parents do? Do you have any requirements?"

When Pei Xiujie heard that Pei's mother seemed to be planning on settling their marriage today, a mouthful of soup went into his throat and he started coughing violently.

Pei Xiao calmly took a piece of paper for Pei Xiujie, and amid Pei Xiujie's cough, he spoke to Pei's mother in a calm tone:

"Aunt, my parents divorced when I was very young, and now they have each started their own families. To be honest, we haven't been in touch for many years, and I don't know exactly what they do for a living. I was raised by my grandmother, who passed away many years ago."

Pei's mother opened her mouth but said nothing. She didn't expect that this girl who looked so graceful and generous had such a complicated family background. Pei Xiao was used to seeing such sympathetic eyes and turned her head away. Qi You's eyes lit up when he heard about Pei Xiao's family background.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you're a big star now. Don't you want to contact your parents? After all, they and you are blood relatives."

The smile on Pei Xiao's lips turned a little colder.

“They don’t really want me to bother them.”

"Eh? Is that so? But Xiaoxiao sister, you are so capable now. Your parents will definitely want to see you when they see how outstanding you are. It would be so lonely without parents."

Qi You refused to give in.

Pei Xiao looked at her with indifference. She didn't care about Qi You's tricks, but he insisted on bringing her parents up, which made her feel annoyed. And what did Qi You mean by that? She was a star now. If she made money, should she give money to her parents who had abandoned her for many years?

[This Qi You is so annoying. She keeps belittling Xiao Xiao overtly and covertly. Why did Pei Xiujie's mother bring her here? It's so annoying. Get out of here!]

[That’s right, she just kept saying that she is different from ordinary girls and can get along well with boys. Isn’t this definitely a man’s tea? ]

[Qi You is not wrong, Pei Xiao is already an adult, and has a good life now. Isn't it unfilial for him to not contact his biological parents at all? ]

[The person above, you don't have eyes? Pei Xiao has already said that her parents have their own families and don't want her to disturb them, okay? ]

[That's right. Moreover, Pei Xiao's parents didn't care about Pei Xiao at all after giving birth to her, leaving her to be raised by Pei Xiao's grandmother. What's there to be associating with such parents? ]

[I am speechless. I saw the Virgin Mary while watching a dating variety show. The Virgin Mary and Qi You should go take care of Pei Xiao's parents and her parents' two families. You like to be a Virgin Mary so much. But my Xiaoxiao is not a Virgin Mary.]

Mother Pei also heard the inappropriateness in Qi You's words, frowned and said softly:

"Xiaoyou, how Xiaoxiao gets along with her family is her own business. As outsiders, we shouldn't point fingers at other people's lives. Don't say such things."

Pei's mother still thought about their long-term relationship as neighbors and did not use harsh words on Qi You. But Qi You still felt wronged and her eyes were red. She certainly did not think she was wrong, but felt that Pei's mother was also confused by Pei Xiao.

After talking about Qi You, Pei's mother turned around and asked Pei Xiao again.

"What about you, Xiaoxiao? Do you have any idea about your significant other?"

When Pei Xiujie heard this, he couldn't help but listen attentively.

Pei Xiao rubbed the rim of the cup, and a vague figure wearing a blue and white school uniform first appeared in his mind. In just a second, it was covered by himself soaking in the bathtub.

"I don't have any specific standards, as long as the other person treats me well. It doesn't matter if he has money or not, I can make money myself, although it's not much, but it's enough to cover my expenses."

As soon as these words came out, before Pei's mother could comment, Pei Xiujie frowned and spoke first.

"You can't just want the other person to be nice to you. Isn't it their duty to be nice to you? You should have some other criteria to screen. Even if you like tall and handsome guys, it's more practical than just wanting them to be nice to you. What if one day the person you chose doesn't treat you well?"

After Pei Xiujie finished speaking, everyone looked at him in shock. Pei Xiujie then realized that he had just spoken out his thoughts in a hurry.

Pei's mother reacted and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. Pei Xiao also came back to her senses with Pei's mother's laughter. She looked at Pei Xiujie blankly. She didn't expect Pei Xiujie to say this to her seriously. She opened her mouth and said something without thinking.

"Will you treat me badly in the future?"
