Wang Yanmei regretted taking out the money as soon as she did, feeling that Zhou Qiao was acting strangely today.
A bad feeling welled up in her mind, but before she could think any further, a group of people hurried over.
"Was the person you were just talking to Zhou Qiao?"
Wang Yanmei stammered, "Yes, yes, who are you?"
“Zhou Qiao owes our company more than a thousand yuan in compensation and hasn’t paid it back. The court couldn’t contact her these past few days, and that’s when we found out she ran away. We just came over to ask for information and saw you talking to her. At first, we didn’t recognize her, but she seemed a bit suspicious, so we came to ask you.”
"W-what?" Wang Yanmei was stunned. "Compensation? Why does she owe you so much money? Doesn't she have a very wealthy boyfriend?"
"A wealthy partner? Oh, you mean Yang Wei, right?" The group exchanged glances and chuckled. "He's been ruined by this woman. It was on the news a few days ago, that million-yuan fraud case in Beijing, you saw it? Yang Wei listened to her and invested hundreds of thousands, but he didn't get a single penny back. Yang Wei probably wants to strangle her right now, how could he possibly help her! Didn't she tell you?"
Wang Yanmei's expression changed drastically.

Hearing what those people said, Wang Yanmei realized that she had been deceived.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and eventually he fell ill.
However, this was not the end of the story. Suddenly, someone came to the Pei family, saying they were looking for the mother of the two children.
Pei Hai has to go to work, leaving only his two children at home.
The two children opened the door and were both frightened.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you...you..."
The two children stared at the newcomer in surprise.
The visitors were from one of the families they had stayed with before.
The other party said, "Well, you're living a good life here, aren't you? How come you've forgotten about us now that you're living a good life? Where's your mother? Tell her to come out!"
"Our mother?" Pei Jichuan frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me. People have already told us that your mother is very rich now, and she buys your sister all sorts of pretty dresses and toys every day. We've helped her raise you all for so many years, shouldn't she give us some compensation?"
"Third Aunt, you must have misunderstood. We haven't found Mom yet," Pei Jichuan said, shaking his head.
"The person who bought the gift for my sister is a relative of the Pei family; her name is Zhou Qiao."
"Yes, that's her name. A man came to us and told us to come here to find her. What, you still want to lie to Uncle and Aunt? Everyone says that's your mother."
Pei Jichuan was stunned. "Impossible. You've misunderstood. It must be a misunderstanding."
"How could it be impossible? That man heard her say it with his own ears, and your sister even had a meal with him!"
"What?" Something flashed through Pei Jichuan's mind, and he suddenly turned around to look at Pei Tiantian.
But she was already frozen in place.
