Pei Jichuan thought that since Pei Tiantian liked staying at Grandma Pei's house, it was fine.

Anyway, she always comes here from over there, and after this incident, Aunt Song definitely doesn't like her.

It's better to let her stay here than to be kicked out.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Before Pei Tiantian could react, Song Yanzhi and his group had already left.

When she came to her senses, her eyes welled up with tears. "Grandma, why can't I go to school, but my brother can?"

Wang Yanmei rolled her eyes: "What else could it be? Of course, it's because she doesn't want to teach you anymore. Who told you to steal her things?"

Pei Tiantian burst into tears. Aunt Song was a liar. Even if she hadn't stolen Xiaobao's notebook, she had no intention of teaching her at all.

And then there's my brother, who actually went with them just to learn how to please Aunt Song, without even coming to comfort me.

She hated them so much.

"Grandma, waaaah, I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you," she said, her voice filled with grievance.

Upon hearing this, Pei Hai immediately objected, "Mom, I don't agree. Who will raise her if she comes to our house? I'm not as kind as my sister-in-law, helping others raise their children."

Pei Tiantian retorted with dissatisfaction, "Uncle, I can clean and do housework."

Pei Hai remained dissatisfied, shouting, "What's the use of knowing how to do these things? You're not a member of the Pei family, who can support you?"

He's not married yet. If his future wife knew he had such a burden in his family, she probably wouldn't want to marry him.

Pei Tiantian blushed and her neck turned red, as if she had returned to the scene when she was sent to those relatives' homes.

Back then, everyone treated her and her brother with the same disdain, their words so sharp that she felt utterly ashamed.

Wang Yanmei was also unhappy, but she thought that Pei Tiantian was still a child of the Pei family and Ji Chuan's sister. If she stayed here, Song Yanzhi would have the opportunity to properly teach his grandson.

We're not living in the old days anymore; it's not like we can't afford to raise a child.

If you let them learn more housework now, they can find a good husband when they're seventeen or eighteen and even get a dowry. It won't be a bad deal.

"Alright, alright, Tian Tian is still a child. How can you talk like that? Tian Tian has helped me a lot lately. She's sensible and obedient, much more useful than Xiao Bao. I'd be happy for her to stay."

She was actually just trying to comfort herself.

However, Pei Tiantian believed it to be true and looked at her with emotion.

I felt like the whole world had abandoned me, and only my grandmother still cared about me.

She was deeply moved and said she would work even harder to help her with chores in the future.

Maybe Grandma will be happy and send her to school.

The more Pei Tiantian thought about it, the brighter the future seemed.

...

"What? You're letting Comrade Song teach? Didn't we agree to send Ji Chuan to the preschool class? And why is Tian Tian with you?"

"Is it because Comrade Song Yan... doesn't want them?"

Zhou Qiao found it hard to accept when she heard about this.

The plot in the novel is not like that. In the novel, Song Yanzhi treats both children very well. He not only sends them to school, but also buys them all sorts of nice things.

She figured she didn't like children anyway, so it would be good for Song Yanzhi to teach them. If her daughter and son became famous like in the novels, one becoming a top student and the other a big star, it would be very beneficial for her.

Now I hear that Song Yanzhi not only refuses to send her son to the preschool, but also doesn't want her daughter anymore.

"Hmph, you don't know about that 'nurturing class'. The director's level is not as good as a child's. How can I trust them to take care of my child? Isn't that a waste of money? I see that Xiaobao is learning very well from her. Song Yanzhi is a high school student after all. She teaches no worse than that nurturing class."

"What about Tian Tian?" Pei Tian Tian will be a big star when she grows up. As Pei Tian Tian's biological mother, she naturally hopes that she can become as famous as she did in her previous life.

"Don't worry, they're all children of the Pei family. How could I mistreat them? They're being raised by me."

Wang Yanmei didn't think that far ahead.

Zhou Qiao pursed her lips.

Although she felt that some plans were not keeping up with the changes, she only remembered that the plot was written that way, and had forgotten the details.

Anyway, as long as the two children can stay in the Pei family, there shouldn't be any major changes.

Wang Yanmei looked at her niece, a child she had watched grow up, who was now a college graduate, beautiful, and a pair of twins.

She felt that if only this child had married her eldest son back then.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Seeing Zhou Qiao's furrowed brows, she assumed she was worried about the two children and comforted her, "It's convenient for you to visit them while I'm here. Even though you can't acknowledge them now, it's good to see them sooner rather than later."

Who knows, maybe someday Song Yanzhi will divorce her son, and she can arrange for her niece to join the family.

After all, a foster mother can never be as good as a biological mother.

Zhou Qiao agreed.

Wang Jian is from his hometown, so the only people around here who know him are the Pei family. Outsiders don't know who the two children are; they only know that they are the children of Pei Yuchen's comrade-in-arms.

Therefore, she is not worried about her identity being exposed.

Since he was a relative of the Pei family, it wasn't strange for him to visit, so they agreed.

...

Bodyguard Xiao Liu drove the family to the military hospital.

Xiao Bao had never ridden in this kind of vehicle before. As soon as he got on, he touched the seats and windows, stood up and leaned against the window to look out. The wind made his hair all messy, but he didn't seem to mind. He found it all very strange.

There were many people watching him outside.

"Look, they're looking at me."

He turned around and looked at Song Yanzhi happily.

He's still just a child.

Song Yanzhi chuckled and responded, then reminded him as he was about to stick his head out again.

"Xiao Bao, sit still, don't stick your head out."

Xiao Bao reluctantly pulled his head back.

Song Yanzhi moved aside to make room for the child.

But she didn't expect Pei Yuchen to sit so close; their bodies were pressed together. At first, she didn't notice, but after Xiaobao wiggled his bottom and sat down, she realized that her thighs were pressed against Pei Yuchen's legs.

Today she changed into a light, navy-collar dress. It was a very conservative dress, but when she sat down, it revealed half of her fair calves. Because she hadn't been exposed to the sun for many years, her skin was dazzlingly white.

Pei Yuchen looks cold, but his body temperature is not low. If you get close, you can smell a faint scent of soap on him, a very clean smell.

Just as Song Yanzhi was about to bend down to pull up her skirt, Pei Yuchen also lowered his head, and she bumped into the man's chin.
