Chapter 1880 - Earning Chi Yang's Favor

Pei Jitong gently embraced Zhou Ruxue. His eyes were filled with contempt and disgust, but his words were as gentle as wool.

“It’s fine, Ruxue. It’s not your fault! It’s all because I couldn’t control myself back then. I had sex with you in the back of Chi Zehao’s mourning hall, and we were even caught by Chi Yang. Of course he hates us. But you have to remember that the human heart is made of flesh and blood. After all, you’re still his biological mother, and blood is thicker than water. Chi Yang is a straightforward guy. As long as you treat him better and care for him more, he will definitely accept you again.”

Zhou Ruxue said aggrievedly, “It’s not like I haven’t tried before. No matter how close I get to him, he just ignores me. He treats me like a complete stranger. I call him, and he blocks my phone number. Even if I use another phone, the moment he hears my voice, he immediately hangs up and blocks that number. I went to the Chi family to look for him, but I couldn’t even get past the gate to their neighborhood. I went to the Eagle Special Forces to look for him, but again I couldn’t even get through the gate to them. How do you expect me to start treating him well?”

Pei Jitong was also extremely frustrated. He said, “Everyone has someone that they care about deeply. The only people that Chi Yang cares about are the old man, his second uncle, and Nangong Nuannuan. If Chi Yang doesn’t accept your kindness towards him, then treat the old man well. If the old man doesn’t accept it, then treat Chi Zeyao and Nangong Nuannuan well.

“Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. Back then, we hurt Chi Yang’s heart. Now, we must try every method we can think of to make up for what we did to him. If he sees that we treat Chi Zeyao and Nangong Nuannuan well, perhaps he’ll begin to warm up to us.”

Zhou Ruxue’s eyes lit up. “Then, what should I do?”

Pei Jitong smiled and said, “You just need to follow your heart. I want to see you and Chi Yang’s relationship improve. I don’t want him to help the Pei Corporation, so don’t feel pressured. You can do whatever you want.”

“How can this be happening?” Zhou Ruxue said angrily. “I’m Chi Yang’s biological mother, yet he treats me so poorly. Jiadong and Jialiang are just my step-sons, but they treat me like their biological mother. Jitong, in my heart, you’re my only husband, and Jiadong and Jialiang are my only sons. Building a good relationship with Chi Yang is just a way to get more benefits from the Chi family and the Imperial Phoenix Corporation. So, I either don’t do it, or I do it to help you. Why else would I try to mend our relationship? If he dares to ignore me in the future and doesn’t support me, I’ll sue him.”

“Don’t!” Pei Jitong helplessly scratched Zhou Ruxue’s nose and rebuked her lovingly. “You have such a childish temper. It’s okay to say this in front of me, but don’t you dare speak like this in front of Chi Yang. If you do, given his iron-blooded temper, he may despise you for the rest of his life.”

“I know! I’m just complaining to you. I’ll definitely handle this matter well in front of him. Although I can’t guarantee how long it will take to earn their favor, I’ll do my best.”

Only then did Pei Jitong feel relieved. He smiled and said, “I’ll do it with you. If there’s anything you need me for, don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Jitong, you’re amazing! You’re the only person who treats me so well. You’re really the best man in this entire world!” Zhou Ruxue once again nestled into Pei Jitong’s arms.
