Peipei was very quiet on the way back, and I don't know what she was thinking.
After arriving home.
Zhou Jiaqi and Hanhan were both in the living room, and they didn't react much when they saw Peipei.
Peipei went over by herself, took a small stool, and sat down next to the two of them, behaving unusually well.
Zhou Jiaqi was very curious.
He wanted to ask, but seeing Hanhan's calm demeanor, he kept quiet.
Peipei finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She was just whispering to her older sister, "Sister, Grandma is so scary! She was even mean to Mom. The house is so messy and smelly, and Dad isn't home either."
Upon hearing this, Hanhan immediately became even more unhappy. "Who told you to go back? That's not my home. My home is wherever Mommy is."
Peipei was stunned after hearing this.
Finally, she nervously picked at her fingers and whispered, "I'm scared of Grandma now. She's so fierce, even fiercer than before. I'm not going back."
Hanhan placed a puzzle piece in the right position. "You shouldn't have gone back a long time ago. You made Mommy have to go with you, and then Grandma will scold you when we go back."
As she spoke, she glanced at the listless Peipei and finally muttered, "Weren't you quite fierce before? Did Grandma bully Mommy today? Did you protect her? Or did you help Grandma bully Mommy? If you bully Mommy again, I will never forgive you and I will never be friends with you again."
Hanhan spoke earnestly, despite her young age.
Peipei was startled. She immediately retorted, pouting, "I didn't bully Mommy, but I didn't protect Mommy either..."
She looked quite guilty.
Hanhan immediately looked down on her, saying that if it were her, she would definitely rush out to protect her mother.
Zhou Jiaqi was completely confused. He was also holding a piece of the puzzle in his hand. Hearing this, he said in his childish voice, "Why is your grandma so fierce and mean? My grandma is better. She's just too clingy and always likes to kiss my cheek."
Peipei immediately thought of that wealthy lady and nodded, saying, "Your grandma is so generous too."
Zhou Jiaqi proudly puffed out his little chest and said, "That's right, my grandma is a very nice person."
Hanhan had already started to stand up from the carpet and was running to find her mother when she heard her mother arguing with someone at the door of the room.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiaqi immediately followed and eavesdropped behind Hanhan. Peipei also jogged over and was relieved when she saw that Jiaqi and Hanhan did not push her away.
Jiang Tong also received a call from Xu Huaiyuan, who borrowed someone else's phone to call her, mainly to question her about why she had bullied his mother.
"Can't you use your brain for once? If your mother hadn't wanted to see Peipei today, I would never have gone there. Besides, she started this whole thing out of nowhere. I think you know better than me what kind of things your mother is capable of saying."
Xu Huaiyuan's voice on the phone was also angry, "But no matter what, she's still an old woman. Can't you just give in to her? I did cheat on you and I'm sorry, but you don't have to deliberately upset my mother like this!"
Jiang Tong was speechless. "Fine, think what you want, I really can't be bothered with you."
She immediately hung up the phone.
I feel both annoyed and exhausted.
The phone rang again shortly afterward; it just wouldn't stop.
Jiang Tong retorted angrily, "What exactly do you want? You want custody of Pei Pei? You're dreaming!"
The three children at the door were shocked when they heard this.
Zhou Jiaqi's eyes widened, while Hanhan frowned as she looked at Peipei.
Peipei was dumbfounded.
She nervously tugged at her older sister's skirt, her lips trembling as if she were about to cry. "I don't want to go back to live here. The house is a mess, dirty and smelly. Dad doesn't want us anymore, and Grandma is scary. Sister, I don't want to go back."
Peipei was already crying from fright.
Clutching Hanhan's skirt, she wiped away tears with a wronged expression and sobbed softly.
Zhou Jiaqi was also quite frightened to see Peipei crying. Although he didn't like her, he felt sorry for her, seeing her being constantly taken away by others. He said to Peipei, "I also think your grandparents are bad. One minute they want you, the next they don't want you anymore... You..."
He scratched his cheek, unsure what to say, and looked longingly at Hanhan.
Hanhan is their pillar of support. Even though Zhou Jiaqi is older than Hanhan, he listens to her, so both kids look out for her.
Hanhan frowned and said to Peipei, "Don't disbelieve Mommy. She's not Daddy, and she's not you. Mommy won't abandon you. It's only because you didn't want her before that she didn't dare to take you away."
Because I was afraid of upsetting Peipei.
Mommy loves them both so much, only Peipei is blinded by love.
Peipei was also at a loss. She remembered that the argument was caused by her, and she cried even more sadly, but she didn't dare to cry loudly.
In the end, Hanhan had no choice but to hug her and awkwardly pat her back to coax her, "Be good, don't bully Mommy anymore, and I'll be with you."
Peipei immediately grabbed her sister and nodded, saying, "I will definitely listen to Mom and you, sister, from now on."
She is almost four years old.
She can distinguish between good and bad, and understands that her past loud and disruptive behavior was like her grandmother's today, which was bad, frightening, and annoying to others.
Good children are not like that.
Jiang Tong was even less likely to let Xu Huaiyuan take the child back. She was so angry she wanted to laugh. "Xu Huaiyuan, what do you and your mother think of the child? You think you can just take her when you want and not take her when you don't? Since Peipei is willing to be with me, I'm not going to push her into a fire pit again. Stop pretending to love her!"
They treat Peipei like a cat or a dog, playing with her and spoiling her when they're happy. But when their interests are threatened, they'll abandon her without hesitation. And now they want Peipei again? Dream on.
Xu Huaiyuan was also very angry on the other end of the phone, "Do you have to be so unreasonable? My mother can't take it anymore, both physically and mentally. What's wrong with wanting Peipei to go back to live with us? Don't you already have Hanhan?!"
Jiang Tong said coldly, "Hanhan and Peipei are two different people. Do you treat them like toys to appease your mother? Xu Huaiyuan is the heartless one. Do you deserve to be a father? Don't even mention Hanhan. You never cared about her to begin with. Take Peipei, for example. She used to be the daughter you loved the most. Have you ever cared about her since she came to live with me?"
After she said that...
Xu Huaiyuan fell silent, then frantically tried to explain, "Do I have that kind of time?! You took all the family's existing funds, that's five million! Do you know how much damage it would do for the company if it lost five million? If it weren't for my abilities, the company would have collapsed long ago!"
The more guilty he felt, the louder he shouted, "Do I have time to care about others? I'm overwhelmed with my own problems! Besides, aren't both daughters with you? With you taking care of them, what do I need to care about?!"
Wow.
What a self-righteous man! He has time to remarry but no time to care about his daughter.
Jiang Tong was so angry she almost vomited blood. "Yes, you're right. Since your daughter doesn't need a father, why should you take back custody? Stop calling and disgusting me."
She told him to sue her if he dared, because he wouldn't get custody of either of their daughters back!
Jiang Tong is very tough.
