"Oh right, there's also the Su family..."

The assistant looked at him with reluctance and said, "Su Corporation must also pay compensation. Moreover, we have been cooperating with Su Corporation for so many years. Even if we sell all our current properties, we may not be able to pay for the liquidated damages."

Wei Jiaqi made a rough calculation and found that it was a sky-high figure. His mind went into chaos as he thought about the long string of figures.

It only takes a moment to fall from heaven to hell.

Before he could react, Mr. Su's assistant called.

Wei Jiaqi looked at the flashing ringing cell phone and picked it up tremblingly.

"Hello……"

On the other side, Pei Qinghuan returned to the old store to process the inventory and took a look at the trends on the Internet.

Many designers and students came out to criticize Wei Jiaqi. In addition, she was sharp-eyed and noticed that the little girl she had contacted at the beginning also spoke out.

Maybe it was because they were skeptical at first, but when they found that everyone was on their side, they finally mustered up the courage to speak up for themselves.

Pei Anan handed her a cup of milk tea: "Sister, you haven't been back for a long time."

Pei Qinghuan took it and asked: "How is the baby now? Is he still having morning sickness?"

Pei Anan touched her belly: "It's okay."

The two of them hadn't exchanged pleasantries for long when Pei's mother and father came in angrily.

Pei Qinghuan stood up: "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"

Pei Ma slapped her.

Pei Qinghuan was stunned, and half of his face quickly became red and swollen.

Pei Anan was terrified: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Pei's father didn't expect his wife to be so impulsive. He stopped Pei's mother, but his tone was not very friendly: "Qing Huan, have you seen what happened online?"

Pei Qinghuan: "Dad, are you talking about the plagiarism? Someone slandered me, but it has been clarified."

Pei's mother roared: "Shut up, I don't have a daughter like you."

"An An, let's go back to our hometown and find a job."

Pei Anan couldn't struggle free: "Mom, it's not what you think. Everything is over. My sister's shop is running normally. It's really been resolved."

Pei's mother said coldly: "Your sister did something like plagiarism and she dragged you into it as a scapegoat. I won't allow it. Come back with me now."

Father Pei glanced at Pei Qinghuan and then reluctantly looked away.

Pei Qinghuan stopped them: "Wait, Mom and Dad, you believe the people who slandered me and are unwilling to believe your daughter?"

Mother Pei shook her off: "An An, let's go."

Father Pei said, "Qing Huan, your mother was just too excited after seeing the comments online. Don't blame her. She just said those hurtful words because she didn't want An An to continue doing this risky job. You know her temper."

"But you did cause quite a stir this time. If possible, I hope you can all have more stable jobs."

Pei Anan was pulled away by them, leaving Pei Qinghuan where he was.

She continued to work in the old shop in a daze until Pei Anan sent her a message: "Sister, don't worry about me, I'm fine, I will find a way to come back."

Pei Qinghuan paused for a moment and replied, "It's okay, An'an. It was your parents who took you away, not the kidnappers. I'm not worried about your safety. Even if you come back, I won't let you continue working. After all, the baby is about to be born."

"Why don't you just stay home and take care of the baby. I'll keep it here for you when the baby is born."

Pei Anan hesitated for a long time before replying with a "OK".

Pei Qinghuan put down his phone, feeling empty inside and the slap marks on his face burning.

Li Lele saw this farce and came over cautiously: "Sister Qing Huan, are you okay?"

Pei Qinghuan shook his head: "It's okay, go and do your thing."

Li Lele handed over a cup of hot water: "Sister Qing Huan, my family also favors the other one. I am also the one who is not valued. My parents like my younger brother more."

Pei Qinghuan was slightly moved.

Li Lele added: "We can't control our parents' thoughts, but as long as we are strong enough, we will definitely grow up to the point where we don't care about these things anymore."

Pei Qinghuan smiled bitterly: "Then I guess I have to continue practicing."

She rubbed her face, had no intention of working, and went home early.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of ping-pong coming from the kitchen.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing it was Gu Jinchen.

"Mr. Gu, are you cooking?"

Gu Jinchen came out with a shovel and was slightly stunned when he saw Pei Qinghuan's face: "Today's blush is a little special."

Pei Qinghuan took a long time to react and said sullenly, "Mr. Gu, you really know how to joke."

Gu Jinchen put down a bowl of hot noodles, covered it with a fried egg, and pushed it in front of her.

Dandan: "If you want to talk, I will be a good listener. If you don't want to talk, just eat noodles."

Pei Qinghuan suddenly felt a surge of grievance: "Mr. Gu, you are such a nice person."

She slurped a mouthful of noodles before speaking, "My mom beat me because I was falsely accused of plagiarism and became a hot topic online. My mom was worried that my sister would be implicated, so she took her away."

Gu Jinchen was surprised: "Then she is not worried about you?"

Pei Qinghuan was silent for a moment.

"Probably... not."

"I've always been more competitive than my sister since I was little, and my sister is always sick, so I have to take care of her more. This time, I really put her in hidden danger."

Gu Jinchen suddenly understood.

No wonder this woman loves money so much. It turns out that her parents didn't care about her since she was a child. What else could she love if not money?

If she could be guided correctly, would she give up on him and his grandfather?
