Pei Qinghuan had just walked to the door when she heard the complaint, and her face was a little stunned.
"Mom, I'm here soon."
"How can you be so fast? I spoke to you on the phone yesterday and came to see An An early this morning. Do you care about An An? As a sister, how can you be so indifferent to your only sister?"
The more Pei's mother spoke, the angrier she became. Pei Qinghuan's face was a little dazed. She stiffly handed over a tissue, "Mom, your face is hurt too. Wipe it off."
"Take it away. I don't want you to pretend to be kind here. You didn't even bother to help just now. You just let An An suffer alone."
Mother Pei angrily threw the tissue in Pei Anan's hand to the ground, then turned and left.
Dad Pei carefully picked up the tissue behind him and handed it to Pei Qinghuan.
"Huanhuan, don't be angry. You know your mom has this kind of temper. Okay, I'm going back to the store with your mom first."
Pei Qinghuan stood behind her, holding the tissue stiffly. This was not the first time her mother had lost her temper with her so directly.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never been as good as her younger sister in the eyes of her parents, so Pei Qinghuan has taken on the responsibility of being an older sister.
She thought it was nothing, but seeing her mother's attitude today, she felt a little chilled for the first time.
Gu Jinchen hugged her from behind. As if sensing her low mood, he lowered his voice and said, "Your mother..."
Pei Qinghuan shook his head. "My mom has always been like that. I'm fine. This is my private matter. Don't worry about me."
Just a private matter, and with the thought that he didn't need to worry about it, Gu Jinchen began to feel a little uncomfortable again.
It was like someone had forcibly reminded him that the agreement between the two of them had just been signed last night.
"I am still your husband in name only."
Gu Jinchen bit the words tightly and glanced at her with a frown.
Pei Qinghuan turned around dejectedly and got into the car. "Let's go back. Thank you for bringing me here."
Seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law talking so much, Gu Cheng smiled wickedly and secretly reported it to his grandfather.
Gu Jinchen followed him into the car. The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward and neither of them had much to say.
In particular, Pei Qinghuan was obviously in a low mood.
In this situation, Gu Jinchen couldn't be ignored. He frowned and said, "You can tell me what happened just now..."
"As you can see, my sister has been sickly and frail since she was young. That's why I've always given in to her, and my mom is more attentive to her than I am."
Pei Qinghuan lowered his head, his voice sounding a little impetuous.
"I'm selfish, right? I shouldn't think this way, but my mother has never been gentle to me since my sister was born."
"I shouldn't be jealous of my sister. I'm just a little envious of those girls who get all the love from their parents. They should be very happy."
Such calm words came out of Pei Qinghuan's mouth, and Gu Jinchen couldn't help but frown, because from the outside, Pei Qinghuan looked very strong.
Gu Jinchen's expression was complicated, and he just spoke softly.
"Your parents are also first-time parents, so they may not be able to treat you equally. How about I accompany you back to the Pei family so you can have a good talk with your mother?"
"Do you want to go now?"
Gu Jinchen's suggestion was very frank. Pei Qinghuan no longer hesitated. She paused and looked at Gu Jinchen, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
When Pei Qinghuan turned sideways, a curl of her hair swayed in the air, and there was a hint of fragility in her glass-like pupils.
For a moment, Gu Jinchen heard the sound of his chest beating violently.
Damn, Pei Qinghuan looks pretty good from this angle.
Pei Qinghuan finally didn't have the courage to go back to the Pei family. She asked Gu Jinchen, "Don't you have to go to work today? Let's drive to your workplace first. I'm afraid your boss will be angry."
Gu Jinchen complained in his heart, their boss is right in front of you.
"No, no thanks. The boss won't be angry."
Pei Qinghuan was a little surprised. "You're not your boss, so why aren't you angry? Going to work is more important. Go ahead and drive there. I can walk back by myself."
Seeing Pei Qinghuan's stubbornness, Gu Jinchen reluctantly said, "Then you go back by yourself. I'll drive to the company."
Pei Qinghuan nodded, and when he heard the word "company", he sighed in his heart.
Mr. Gu was probably still trying to maintain his image and didn't want her to know that he was actually moving bricks on the construction site.
Pei Qinghuan was very obedient and did not continue to expose him.
Pei Qinghuan had just gotten out of the car when Grandpa Gu called.
"Qing Huan, my precious granddaughter-in-law, did that brat bully you? I heard from Gu Cheng that you two were chatting and laughing today..."
Pei Qinghuan thought awkwardly, why is Doctor Gu Cheng so gossipy?
"No, no, he's very nice to me."
When Mr. Gu heard this, he was so happy that he almost stroked his beard. He knew the temper of that brat, and as long as he didn't hate him, he liked him.
It is extremely difficult to get that brat to take the initiative, so he can only encourage his precious granddaughter-in-law.
"Qing Huan, Grandpa is just worried that the brat won't take the initiative. You know, that brat's personality is really weird. He won't take the initiative to say anything."
Pei Qinghuan coughed and said, "Actually, I think it's okay."
"That's great, Qing Huan. Actually, Grandpa called today just to ask..."
Grandpa Gu paused here, looking a little embarrassed to speak.
Pei Qinghuan was most afraid of the old man being embarrassed. In addition, Grandpa Gu had called her just now to talk about his pension, and she felt that the old man was lonely.
She didn't think much about it, "Grandpa, tell me, what's wrong?"
Grandpa Gu coughed.
"Grandpa just wants to ask, did that brat sleep with you? Grandpa really wants to hold a grandson. As long as you two give me a fat grandson, grandpa will give you all his pension, and I, an old man, will raise your child for you."
It was the first time that Pei Qinghuan was urged by an elder to raise her child, and her face turned red.
Share a room?
The agreement made last night clearly stated that the two of them could not enter each other's room or interfere with each other's private lives.
Since you can't interfere, what's the point of having a life?
Pei Qinghuan didn't dare to tell Grandpa Gu these details. He could only smile awkwardly and then stammered, "It's too early, Grandpa, to hold the baby..."
"Not too early, not too early! I'm already this old, and I'm so envious of other old men holding their grandchildren."
Grandpa Gu was halfway through his cheerful conversation when he noticed the awkwardness of his grandson's wife across from him. He felt something was amiss. Could it be that his useless grandson hadn't even slept with someone else yet?!
