"I lived with a woman who wasn't my foster mother nor my stepmother, and she subjected me to a great ton of torment and suffering. She hit me and abused me all the time.

When I found out last night that Pei Ling is my son, I made up my mind and decided that I'll never give up on him no matter what happens."
Mrs. Pei nodded and said in a mellower tone, "Okay, I'll talk to my son about this."
Jing Chu stood up and said, "Get some rest, Madam. I'll be taking my leave now."
As soon as she turned around, Pei Yi entered.
