She just boils an extra egg for her grandson every day, while Pei Tiantian doesn't. That's how they were raised when they were little, and they were fine. But she just fainted from hunger. How could she be so spoiled?
Pei Jichuan said, "She has been eating very little these days."
Wang Yanmei had been struggling financially lately due to her son's wedding expenses, and her meals consisted mainly of bland, watery soup with little oil.
His younger sister was eating very little. He initially thought it was because of the hot weather that she didn't have much of an appetite, but he never expected her to faint from hunger.
“It’s her own fault for not eating enough. What does it have to do with me? I’m not stopping her from eating.” Wang Yanmei rolled her eyes.
Pei Tiantian woke up at this moment. The group walked in. Her makeup had been wiped off by the doctor. She was no longer as radiant as before. Instead, her face was sallow and withered, and her lips were pale. Although she and Pei Jichuan were twins, she was a size smaller than him.
They look so pitiful.
The doctor came in, examined the situation, and said, "Let's start with an IV to stabilize the condition. For the next couple of days, feed the child light meals, small and frequent meals, and avoid anything too oily, as the child has a sensitive stomach and doesn't absorb nutrients easily."
"This is so troublesome." Wang Yanmei frowned upon hearing this, looking very impatient.
Zhou Qiao rushed forward, patted Pei Tiantian's head, and asked loudly, "Tiantian, tell me, did someone say something to you behind your back, or prevent you from eating? Tell Auntie loudly, and Auntie will stand up for you!"
"What era is this? How can anyone be so cruel as to let someone faint from hunger?"
Pei Tiantian was still confused. She had just woken up when she saw Zhou Qiao excitedly saying something. She vaguely heard something about not being allowed to eat and fainting from hunger.
She opened her mouth and whispered, "Aunt Zhou Qiao, I'm being a good girl. I'll listen to you. You said that models need to maintain their figure and can't overeat, so I've been eating very little these days."
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent...
"Wh-what?"
Zhou Qiao was stunned.
Coming to her senses, she remembered that when she took Pei Tiantian out to eat earlier, Pei Tiantian couldn't control herself and ate and drank excessively, which made her frown.
After all, being a model requires very strict standards regarding body shape.
If she keeps eating like this, she'll gain weight soon, and what if someone takes her place?
She said to him, "Sweetie, you can't eat so much in the future. If you get fat, you won't be able to be a model anymore. You'll just be like those gluttonous kids at school and will never become famous."
She was simply advising her not to be greedy.
We didn't let her go hungry!
When Zhou Qiao met Pei Tiantian's smile, she felt a momentary sense of dread.
The doctor said speechlessly, "Model? What kind of model is someone so young? You parents are just desperate for fame."
He muttered a speechless complaint, then turned and left.
"I just told her not to be greedy, I didn't say she couldn't eat!" she explained instinctively.
But everyone looked at her with a speechless expression. She was making the biggest fuss, looking like she was looking for trouble, as if someone had abused Pei Tiantian.
In the end, it turned out that she was the one who had harmed the child.
Song Yanzhi probably guessed it too. Pei Tiantian was vain and had finally gotten a chance to stand out, so of course she was reluctant to give it up. After Zhou Qiao said that, she was afraid that her chance would be taken away by someone else, so she didn't even care about the food anymore.
This child's self-control is frightening.
Perhaps it was this extreme environment that shaped her personality.
No wonder I couldn't control her at all back then.
Pei Jichuan's gaze at Zhou Qiao was unusually cold.
My sister is like this because of her!
His younger sister used to listen to him a lot, but ever since she met Zhou Qiao, she's been bewitched and doesn't listen to him anymore.
In the past, the brother and sister worked very hard every day just to fill their stomachs.
However, now that they finally have enough to eat, the younger sister, wanting to become a model, refuses to eat and even faints from hunger.
He felt that this woman was terrifying.
What kind of spell did she cast on her sister?!
Pei Jichuan's gaze sent a chill down Zhou Qiao's spine.
For some reason, she felt a sense of fear.
It seems they've been targeted by wolves.
She seemed somewhat evasive, but then wondered if she could blame herself for this.
She didn't say Pei Tiantian couldn't eat it, she just told her to eat less.
Who knew this child would be so extreme?
If anyone's to blame, it's the Pei family for not teaching their child properly. Didn't they even notice that the child wasn't eating enough?
How could they possibly blame themselves?
She only said one sentence, and she's been so wronged!
Pei Tiantian was alright, so everyone naturally dispersed.
Zhou Qiao knew she was in the wrong this time, so she stayed to keep her company.
Seeing Pei Yuchen frowning, Song Yanzhi said, "You're worried about Pei Tiantian? I know about this, but I didn't expect Zhou Qiao to be so dramatic."
Pei Yuchen looked at her and said, "I don't mean to blame you. I just think this child has a somewhat extreme personality. If he isn't properly guided, he might go astray in the future."
Song Yanzhi withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I respect other people's fates and I won't interfere in this matter."
Pei Yuchen said, "I know, it's none of your business. I'll talk to her, and if she won't listen, just let her be."
Song Yanzhi didn't say anything, but instead asked, "Does the man who just came with Zhou Qiao know you?"
Pei Yuchen paused, then nodded. "He's the co-pilot, the son of an airport leader. He seems kind on the surface, but he's actually quite cunning and hostile towards me."
Song Yanzhi said, "I think he is somewhat wary of you."
