Chapter 464 Cruelty

Xia Ling still hesitated. Although she knew that now that he had returned home, it would be easy for him to touch her child, but due to psychological factors, she always felt more at ease holding it in her hands.

Pei Ziheng said coldly: "Or do you want the child to get hurt?"

She looked at him blankly, not knowing what he meant. She was holding the baby well, how could the baby get hurt? However, after a few seconds, he came to his senses - was he saying that if she didn't hand over the child, he would let the child get hurt? !

Her face turned pale.

Zhou's mother took a few steps forward and said, "Madam, let me come." After saying that, she carefully took the child from her arms.

Xia Ling hesitated, half-pushed, and half-handed the child into Zhou's mother's hands.

Zhou's mother held the child in her arms and retreated to a sheltered area on the porch. The child's face, which was originally red from the cold, gradually calmed down. He opened a pair of pure eyes, looked at Zhou's mother, and grinned.

Zhou Ma's heart was full of tenderness. She was a woman after all, and she couldn't help but care for a baby when she saw it. Even if the child's biological father was unknown, he was innocent and should not be treated roughly. Mother Zhou, who had given birth to several children, coaxed her children lovingly, skillfully and kindly.

Xia Ling was a little worried at first, but seeing this scene, she was more or less relieved.

Pei Ziheng was still standing in the corridor, looking at her: "Come here."

His voice was cold, like eternal ice.

Xia Ling was scared in her heart, but she knew in her heart that it was a blessing, not a curse, and that it was a disaster that could not be avoided. She couldn't resist the huge coercion emanating from him, so she bit the bullet and took a few steps towards him.

Pei Ziheng slapped her without warning.

The crisp sound sounded startling in the silent winter. Xia Ling staggered a few steps after being beaten, her head tilted to one side, her cheeks were burning, and five clear fingerprints appeared on her cheeks.

She stretched out her hand to wipe the blood from the corners of her lips, then raised her head to look at the man who beat him.

She suddenly understood what he meant when he just said "the child will be hurt." If she was still holding the child in her hands and she was caught off guard by the slap just now, the child would definitely fall to the ground, and life or death would be unpredictable.

"...Thank you." She said softly.

Snapped!

Pei Ziheng slapped her again, this time harder, sending her flying. Her thin body hit a flower bed that was as tall as a person, the lush potted plants fell down, and broken branches of plum blossoms and pine trees fell on her.

"Madam!" When Pei Ziheng slapped Xia Ling for the first time, Zhou's mother was startled, but she refrained from screaming. This second slap made her even more frightened, and she couldn't help but scream. "Sir, what are you doing?!" Zhou's mother is an old person in the family. She has been with Pei Ziheng since he was born not long ago. She has watched him grow up. She can say many things that others dare not persuade. The last two sentences are, "Madam has just returned from the hospital after giving birth to a baby, and her body bones are not fully healed yet. How can you hit someone so hard? What if you break it?!"

She was holding the child in her arms and could not help Xia Ling, so she said anxiously to Pei Ziheng, "Why don't you go and see if Madam is hurt?!"

Pei Ziheng stood there with his lips pressed together and did not move.

He had wanted to slap her for a long time. Ever since he learned that the child was not his biological child, this hateful woman owed him an explanation - he was the one who brought her home from the orphanage in fear and helplessness more than ten years ago. , spent so much time and effort raising them, falling in love with each other, and getting everything they want. But what happens in the end? Her wings were so hard that she was not clear with another man, and even framed him for being pregnant with another man's child!

A few months ago, I was concerned about her health and refrained from beating her.

But today, it’s time to get back the capital and profits.

Xia Ling was lying on the gravel floor in the corridor. Her arms and back were in pain, and she didn't know if she had any fractures. She fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time. Faintly, she heard the baby crying in Zhou's mother's arms.

She raised her head with difficulty and looked at the baby. Mother and child were connected. When he cried, she became anxious.

She tried again and tried her best to lift herself up from the ground, but unexpectedly, the broken pine branches on her back mixed with large pieces of soil and broken porcelain fell down, hitting her arm, causing her to fall down again in pain. The white palms were stretched awkwardly on the ground, scratched by the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

The child cried louder.

Ignoring the dirt and blood all over her body, she got up unsteadily and staggered to look at the child.

Pei Ziheng grabbed her arm, dragged her into his arms, and dragged her to the bedroom upstairs.

"Let me go! I want to see the baby!" she screamed.

Pei Ziheng didn't seem to hear her and didn't pay any attention to her. He dragged her directly to the bed, pressed her tall body on her, and bit and kissed her fiercely.

"You're crazy!" She was frightened and angry, her speech was slurred, and she struggled desperately.

Pei Ziheng kissed her for a long time, until their lips and teeth were covered in blood, and then he let go of her with a heavy breath. "Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you?" He sneered, his voice full of violence, "Xia Ling, you still owe me a son, this time, don't even think about escaping!"

"I..." she was frightened, "I just left the hospital! How could I give birth to a son for you now!" Seeing him reaching out to tear off her clothes, she was so frightened that her voice changed, "Don't do this!"

But he ignored her and stopped until he stripped her of her clothes, leaving only her underwear. "This is interest." He slowly let go of her and turned to leave.

Xia Ling was in shock and pulled the quilt on the bed to cover herself, her chest heaving.

Crazy...he's a crazy person.

For a moment, she thought she would not be able to escape today. Pei Ziheng wanted to have a son, and she was very hungry. Even though her body was still very weak and not suitable for pregnancy, there was no guarantee that he would not do something drastic.

She thought she had miscalculated.

Logically speaking, after giving birth to a child, it would take at least a year and a half to support her before she could conceive a second child. She thought she still had a year and a half to figure out how to deal with it. But who knew that on her first day back home, he would give her such a big shock.

Fortunately, he finally gave up.

Why?

Xia Ling didn't think he would have any conscience. She probably knew that the mother needed a recovery period and wanted her to get well as soon as possible so that she could get pregnant again.

Just like what he said, it was interest.

She was shivering all over and huddled up in bed, looking panicked.

Over there, Pei Ziheng went downstairs.

In the living room, the child cried loudly, and Zhou's mother couldn't comfort her.

"Sir!" Seeing Pei Ziheng coming down, Zhou's mother hurriedly hugged the child and went up to him, "The baby can't stop crying. If it continues like this, its throat will be broken. I'm afraid I miss my mother. I'll take it and show it to Madam."
