Before leaving, Zhou Yuansheng turned around and asked Jiang Tong what she was planning to eat for breakfast.

It's very sticky.

Jiang Tong was amused and said, "How could I possibly starve myself? You go ahead and be careful on the way."

Zhou Yuansheng laughed too, his eyes filled with affection, and he sighed with some reluctance, "Let's go, let's go, if we don't leave now we won't want to leave."

Jiang Tong blushed instantly!

The children are still here!

Sure enough, Zhou Jiaqi's childish voice immediately rang out, "Why are you reluctant to leave? Oh, I know, Daddy is reluctant to leave Aunt Jiang, right?"

Zhou Yuansheng sighed, "You children don't need to understand these things too much."

Why are kids these days so shrewd?

Hanhan giggled twice.

She trusted her mother completely. Although she was worried that her ex-father would come looking for her, her mother had said she wouldn't let her and Peipei go back, and she would definitely not let her ex-father take them away. Hanhan absolutely believed in her mother.

Peipei, on the other hand, looked deep in thought.

It was unusually quiet until we got on the bus.

Zhou Jiaqi looked at her strangely, then whispered to Hanhan, "Peipei is acting strangely today."

Hanhan glanced at her unusually quiet younger sister. Usually, she would be as lively as Zhou Jiaqi, sweetly flirting with her or bickering with Zhou Jiaqi. How could she be so quiet today?

She recalled the conversation between the two people on the balcony just now.

I wonder what they're talking about?

Hanhan glanced at her new dad who was focused on driving, then looked at her younger sister, seemingly lost in thought, but said nothing and quieted down as well.

Peipei's little head was deep in thought, filled with the steady voice of her Uncle Zhou, who had spoken to her at length.

Let's go back to before we left home.

The two people on the balcony, one large and one small, looked serious and focused, like they were negotiating a business deal.

It's just that sitting on a small stool looks a bit comical.

“I don’t think you need to go back to your father’s house anymore, both morally and logically.”

This statement reflects a very firm stance.

“You are a very smart and shrewd child. I believe you have the ability to make choices. You are actually quite like me, just as shrewd as me.”

Peipei looked calmly at Zhou Yuansheng throughout, listening quietly to him speak.

"You must have discovered another side of your so-called grandparents and father, so you don't want to go back to live with them, right? But at the same time, you can't completely cut them off from your heart?"

Zhou Yuansheng still wanted her to hear his perspective as an adult first.

"First of all, your mother's family is financially stable, and she is fully committed to supporting you both and providing you with the best education. No matter which you choose, it's better than your father's family. Secondly, your mother loves you very, very much. This is something I need you to understand deeply. She loves you a million times more than your father did, at least that's how it has been in your previous families."

He spoke to her as if he were negotiating with a business rival.

Zhou Yuansheng calmly said, "Your indecisiveness will only hurt your mother. Did you witness what happened last night?"

Peipei's eyes widened in panic.

"Your mother is too soft-hearted. She is a very good person. No matter how cold she pretends to be, her heart is soft, especially towards the people she cares about. That's why she was exploited by your father and grandparents. She hurt herself so badly that she had to be dealt the final blow before she left. She didn't want to hurt you, and she didn't want to go back to that so-called ex-husband's house. But because Peipei wanted to go back, she was willing to hurt herself to protect you and try her best not to hurt your young heart."

"She couldn't bear to say it, so I'm the only one who can tell you this. But at the same time, I believe that with your intelligence, you should be able to understand this relationship."

Peipei didn't say a word the whole time, but she is actually very smart. Children are sometimes much more capable than adults imagine, and they are not as fragile as they seem.

Zhou Yuansheng understood that Peipei didn't want to go back to her previous home, but the main problem was that she couldn't figure out her feelings for her grandparents and father. So even if she didn't go back, Peipei would still waver and want to go back to see them the next time they played the victim. Jiang Tong would likely still soften her heart for her daughter.

Now the problem is right in front of us.

Peipei's closeness to her father's family is destined to hurt her mother, and her father's family is clearly not a good person. They might take advantage of Peipei in a fit of anger and then kill Jiang Tong one day.

Zhou Yuansheng wanted to talk to Peipei, and that was his purpose. He had to protect Jiang Tong, and Peipei was her flesh and blood, whom he found hard to part with. This was the only way he could choose.

Ideally, Peipei should break things off completely with that side.

Make sure the child understands clearly that her grandparents and father were not as good as she imagined; they were a group of dangerous people.

Zhou Yuansheng didn't embellish or slander the child's biological father; he was simply stating the facts. He was also trying to persuade Peipei to protect Jiang Tong with him. He asked Peipei, "You don't want to become an accomplice in your father's harm to your mother one day, do you?"

This statement is very damaging.

Peipei said firmly, "No." Even though her little mind was a mess at the time, she would never want to hurt her mother again.

Because she understands how hard her mother's life has been, and how much her mother truly loves her.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuansheng smiled at Peipei and told her, "Of course, what I said is just what I personally think is the best solution for you. But if you want to stay with your biological father, I certainly won't stop you. However, I might advise your mother to give you up in order to prevent her from being hurt by you, because I don't want her to get hurt again."
