My shown DHCP server doesn't have a scope for my IP

On my client workstation when I run "ipconfig /all" the shown DHCP server is 10.13.70.10.

I remoted into 10.13.70.10 and opened DHCP. But I do not see any scopes containing any ranges or leases containing my IP/network.

My client IP is shown as 10.13.65.133(Preferred), and the gateway is 10.13.64.1.

Does this mean my DHCP IP is coming from the gateway 10.13.64.1, but not the DHCP server 10.13.70.10?

I am trying to find this out as well in order to determine if an IP helper in our environment will help with supporting PXE boot, or if I'm going to be forced to have to do something with DHCP scopes.

I am not sure where the client is going to get its IP address from when it's in PXE boot/Winpe mode.

With ipconfig /all | find /i "DHCP Server" it still only shows one IP address: 10.13.70.10

netsh dhcp show server shows 3 other dhcp servers. 2 of them are in different networks.
1 of them doesn't even have "DHCP" in Server Manager so I'm not sure why that 2012 R2 server is being classified as a DHCP server.
