Pei Yuchen nodded. "What you said makes sense, but don't worry, the contract wasn't signed by us or her. Whoever signed it is the one we contacted."

Song Yanzhi said, "I know, but if we really have to pay compensation, it probably won't be a small amount. Zhou Qiao isn't working right now; it seems she's only focused on training Pei Tiantian. If she can't come up with the money, she might try to shift the blame onto us."

There's nothing to worry about with Zhou Qiao alone, but the man next to her doesn't seem like a simple person.

Pei Yuchen had also told her that the man was the leader's child and came from a privileged family.

The fact that Zhou Qiao was able to find such a modeling agency for Pei Tiantian so quickly is probably because the agency was helping her behind the scenes.

The two seemed very close, and if Pei Yuchen hadn't told her that he had a fiancée, she would have thought they were a couple deeply in love.

But didn't Zhou Qiao know that the other party had a fiancée?

She used to work at the airport, so it's impossible that she didn't know.

Even if the two are not dating, she should still avoid suspicion if she knows that the other party has a fiancée.

However……

"I understand." Pei Yuchen thought, this is indeed something Zhou Qiao would do.

He said, "We are the adoptive parents, that's true, but she is the children's biological mother. If she dares to deny it, just tell the other party about her relationship with the two children, and I believe these people won't make a fuss."

It's normal to find adoptive parents when you don't have parents, but Zhou Qiao dares to shirk responsibility. Has she forgotten that she is the biological mother of the two children?

The reason he agreed to adopt the two children from Wang Jian was because Zhou Qiao was still studying away from home at the time, and Wang Jian had long lost contact with her. He couldn't reach Zhou Qiao, so he had no choice but to ask him for help.

Wang Jian thought that Zhou Qiao left because she disliked him and would never come back.

Furthermore, after their divorce, the two children stayed with him. It's unclear why he avoids talking about Zhou Qiao and is even less willing to let the children live with her.

He probably didn't expect that Zhou Qiao would not only come back, but also dare to appear beside the two children.

Now they're practically ruining Pei Tiantian.

Pei Yuchen believes that Zhou Qiao's appearance without revealing her identity is probably what Wang Jian is worried about.

I'm worried that even if she knows about the two children, she won't want to acknowledge them.

If the two children had behaved themselves, it would have been fine, but Pei Tiantian wouldn't listen to advice and had been blinded by what she was talking about.

Pei Yuchen thought that since she was so willing to follow Zhou Qiao, why not let Zhou Qiao take the child back?

To avoid causing trouble for them if anything goes wrong in the future.

He has done more than enough for his two children.

Perhaps this incident will allow us to resolve this matter.

Song Yanzhi nodded.

If the two children continue to live with Wang Yanmei, she'll be happy to see her raising other people's children, but she'll be furious when she finds out the truth later.

But Pei Hai wants to get married, and the woman will definitely not be able to accept it.

It will need to be dealt with sooner or later.

Pei Tiantian's matter is quite significant; everyone in the entire residential compound knows about it.

Her swimsuit photoshoot has been criticized even more.

Although swimsuits may not seem like a big deal, people still feel that they are not proper, otherwise why would the police come knocking on the door?

I heard it's sold to overseas markets; kids in mainland China don't wear those kinds of clothes.

Everyone felt that Pei Tiantian was not proper, and they went home and told their children to stay away from her.

When Pei Tiantian returned to school, the people who used to greet her now kept their distance, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"That's her! My mom said she took pictures of underwear, it's so embarrassing!"

"Oh my god, is this what they're filming? I heard she became a model and wore beautiful clothes every day. I was so envious and asked my mom to send me to be a model too!"

"Me too! Luckily my mom won't let me go, otherwise I would have been laughed at like her!"

Pei Tiantian's face flushed red; she was so ashamed and angry that she almost died.

"No, no, Aunt Zhou said it's legitimate, don't talk nonsense."

"It's legitimate? I've never heard of taking photos in underwear being legitimate. How embarrassing."

"That's not underwear, that's a swimsuit!"

Pei Tiantian was furious, but no matter how she explained, the children didn't understand.

She turned and ran out of the school crying, never wanting to come back again. She hated everyone at the school!

"She ran away!"

"Does she not want to go to school anymore?"

"Isn't it better if you don't want to go to school? Our class is being laughed at because of her!"

"Everyone says she takes photos without wearing clothes."

"Hey, do you guys think she's really not wearing any clothes? Isn't she embarrassed?"

"How could my mom be lying?"

Pei Tiantian has become the talk of the town among her classmates these past few days, and has become quite famous.

Some people went to ask Pei Jichuan, who had gotten into a fight with them and was beaten black and blue.

Even the teachers couldn't stand it anymore and came to visit the family.

Wang Yanmei was furious when she saw her grandson beaten like this, and she shouted that she was going to cause trouble for the students.

She was speechless after hearing that Pei Jichuan had started the fight and that they were being asked to pay compensation.

Upon hearing that it was caused by Pei Tiantian's filming, Wang Yanmei was furious and her face turned ashen. As soon as the teacher left, she dragged Pei Tiantian, who was hiding in her room and not going to school, out and beat her up.

She usually doesn't lift a finger because of her grandson.

This time, because of the trouble she caused, they were not only ridiculed, but their grandson was also beaten up.
