"An An, don't be afraid. No matter what, I will give you and the child justice."

"Don't be afraid, little nephew."

Pei Qinghuan bent down slightly and gently stroked Pei Anan's belly with a gentle tone.

After comforting his sister, Pei Qinghuan called Gu Jinchen.

At this time, Gu Jinchen was listening to his subordinates' monthly work reports.

Gu Jinchen was a little surprised when he received Pei Qinghuan's call. After all, this woman never liked to ask him for help, so it must be something important.

"Hello."

Gu Jinchen gestured to the meeting participants and went out to make a phone call.

Everyone in the meeting looked at each other in bewilderment. Recently, Mr. Gu often made private calls during meetings. Who could be so generous?

"Mr. Gu, there is something I need your help with..."

"But it's okay."

The man's pleasant voice came from the phone to Pei Qinghuan's eardrums.

"It's not a big deal. Don't be nervous. Just show up."

Gu Jinchen thought that he could actually ask him for help with the troublesome matters.

"Well, can you be more specific?"

Pei Qinghuan held the phone and said, "The photo of me asking Mr. Gu to take my sister to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital yesterday was taken, and it's now trending."

Gu Jinchen's fingers paused: "Well, I understand."

Pei Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, "The most urgent thing is to clarify your true relationship so that netizens won't make malicious speculations."

Gu Jinchen's mouth curled slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Pei Qinghuan tugged at the corner of his clothes, a little embarrassed, "The most direct way is... let's record a video together. You show us our marriage certificate, and I'll explain it."

"You don't need to do any poses, I'll explain it to the netizens!"

Gu Jinchen laughed: "It's really intuitive, but this is definitely not enough."

Pei Qinghuan nodded. "I've already found the surveillance footage from that day, proving there were four of you in the car: you, An An, my parents, and no man or woman alone together. I've also backed up the phone records I asked you to help me with."

Gu Jinchen hesitated for a moment and whispered awkwardly: "Actually, if you ask me for help, you don't have to go through so much trouble..."

Pei Qinghuan refused: "This is An An and I's online store. We want to handle it ourselves. Otherwise, if something similar happens in the future, do we have to ask Mr. Gu for help?"

"It's not good to trouble Mr. Gu all the time. This time we have no choice. When we are more mature in the future, we will not be so passive anymore."

Pei Qinghuan's eyes were burning with determination and anticipation for the future.

Hearing this, Gu Jinchen had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I have something else to do, I'll hang up first."

The bodyguard watched his boss' smile disappear after he hung up the phone, and his heart was moved.

The only person who could make the boss frequently make private calls during meetings while still smiling was probably the young lady.

Pei Qinghuan had just hung up the phone when another call came in.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Pei Qinghuan, have you seen the trending searches?"

"I saw it, Mom, don't worry..."

Pei Qinghuan secretly cried out in disbelief that his mother had found out so quickly.

"What are you thinking? You actually let someone take those photos to slander An An's innocence. She's pregnant, how could she be so provoked!"

Pei Qinghuan was a little anxious: "Mom, it's not like that, I was..."

"Okay, I'll go check on An An now. If anything happens to An An, I'd rather die than acknowledge you as my daughter!"

The phone was hung up with a bang.

Pei Qinghuan's face turned pale.

She didn't expect her mother to say such cruel words. Is this still her mother?

Pei Anan heard the noise and came over worriedly, holding her stomach. "Sister, don't listen to what mom says. I'm fine. You will always be my sister and a member of this family."

"Mom must be too excited, that's why she said something she didn't want to say."

She held Pei Qinghuan's hand: "Sister, don't listen to what mom says, she, she..."

Pei Anan didn't expect her mother to be so heartless, and she didn't know what to say.

Pei Qinghuan pulled his hand back: "Forget it, Mom has always been like this, I'm used to it."

"Alright, An An, you've been so traumatized. It was indeed my fault for not letting Mr. Gu drive you. If I had put down my work or just taken a taxi..."

Her eyes were dazed.

Pei Anan held her hand worriedly: "Sister, you have been busy with the online store and dealing with these things recently. You have been staying up late for several days. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's not your fault in the first place."

Pei Qinghuan forced a smile: "Well, okay, An An, you should go and rest too. I'll take care of things here first. After something like this, I can't rest for the time being."

Pei Anan couldn't persuade her sister, so she had to make some drinks for her to calm her down.

In less than ten minutes, Pei's mother and father arrived.

As soon as Pei Ma entered the door, she slapped Pei Qinghuan.

Pei Qinghuan was stunned by the beating.

"You're looking at your phone here, and An An is cooking with a big belly. How can you be such a cruel sister?"

Pei Qinghuan turned his head helplessly, just in time to see Pei Anan walking towards him with the cooked corn porridge.
