Chapter 61 Mental Problems
Finally, Pei Jiuyan was kicked hard by Yun Zhaozhao, who told him to get lost.
Assistant Qin watched from inside the car as the man holding a dog and grinning foolishly thought that Pei's Group might be doomed; their boss actually had masochistic tendencies.
Pei Jiuyan glanced down at the obvious footprint on his calf, his eyes softening. He liked Yun Zhaozhao teasing him like this; it was better than saying those heartless things.
He patted the little mongrel in his arms and said, "Son, let's go back now. Your mom's shy. If we don't leave soon, she'll really get angry."
After Pei Jiuyan carefully placed his dog son in the car's kennel, Assistant Qin said, "President Pei, we just received news that Young Master Chen was discharged from the hospital overnight."
Pei Jiuyan wasn't surprised at all. He had cut off several connections with Chen Boxu, and now that he had received the news, he wondered how furious he would be. His relationship with Chen Boxu probably couldn't be resolved with just a fight.
Pei Jiuyan was furious at the thought of what Chen Boxu had done to Yun Zhaozhao. He didn't blame Yun Zhaozhao, but only himself. He blamed himself for being too suspicious over the past year and causing her so much suffering. He couldn't even imagine what Yun Zhaozhao's expression would be when she woke up and found out that the person was Chen Boxu.
In the past, Yun Zhaozhao would have told him immediately. However, in the past year or so, the two of them had often quarreled, and his aloofness made Yun Zhaozhao feel insecure.
Pei Jiuyan reached out and stroked the fur of the little mongrel before saying, "Continue, don't stop. He wants to strangle Chen Boxu so that he has no power to fight back."
Pei Jiuyan's influence was so strong that Yun Zhaozhao dreamed all night about being chased by dogs, and not just one, but countless dogs chasing after her calling her "Mom." One Alaskan Malamute even pounced on her and frantically licked her face.
Yun Zhaozhao woke up at this point in her dream, and the thought of the dream sent a chill down her spine.
"Miss, why do you look so pale?"
Aunt Chen looked worried.
"It's nothing, I just dreamt about a lot of dogs."
Yun Zhaozhao said weakly that she had barely eaten something before going to her studio. Early this morning, Fu Shangluo had already sent over all of her previous carvings, and she needed to think about establishing a theme.
Her name is no longer trending online. Pei Jiuyan's words had some effect; he has disappeared from the trending topics today as well. Nobody wants to offend him.
Yun Zhaozhao glanced at her phone and then stopped paying attention, focusing on the topic at hand. She hadn't expected an unexpected person to come to her house.
Looking at that familiar figure, Yun Zhaozhao moved her lips before managing to squeeze out two words: "Grandpa!"
She hadn't seen her grandfather for over a year. The last time was at her parents' and brother's funeral. At that time, her grandfather asked her if she would like to go abroad with her, and she naturally refused. Her grandfather didn't say much and turned away. He hadn't heard from her for a year until he contacted her on the occasion of Grandpa Fu's birthday.
"Grandpa, why did you suddenly come back?"
Yun Zhaozhao wanted to take her grandfather's arm but didn't dare. The person who doted on her the most in the family wasn't her parents or brother, but her grandfather.
She spent a lot of time with her maternal grandfather when she was young. He was happy to teach her because he saw her talent. Later, her insistence on choosing Pei Jiuyan made him very unhappy. He said that she was just like her mother and always liked to go against her.
That's not all. The most important thing is that after being with Pei Jiuyan, she gave up painting, which really angered her grandfather. At that time, her grandfather told her not to regret it, but she said firmly that she would never regret it because she believed that Pei Jiuyan would be good to her for the rest of her life.
Now she realizes that experience truly matters, and the older generation has a much sharper eye than she did.
Thinking of all this, Yun Zhaozhao didn't dare look her grandfather in the eye, afraid of hearing his ridicule. However, none of what she expected happened. Her grandfather only asked her one question: "You were bullied, why didn't you call me? Did you really think you were left without anyone to care?"
One sentence brought tears to Yun Zhaozhao's eyes.
"Grandpa..."
Grandpa Huang reached out and poked Yun Zhaozhao's head: "You've always been shrewd since you were little, and you never let yourself suffer a loss. Why did you end up like this? You don't even speak up when you're being bullied."
If things hadn't blown up so much that even people abroad knew about it, he wouldn't have known that his granddaughter had been bullied like this.
The old man is very protective of his own; he may dislike Yun Zhaozhao, but no one else should even think about it.
"What's all that's said online? Tell me everything in detail now."
Mr. Huang is an academic, and even in his old age, he still looks very dignified.
Yun Zhaozhao used to dare to act coquettishly, but now she doesn't, and only whispers, "What's said online is all false."
"It's all fake? What about the pregnancy?"
"Old Master Huang asked."
"This is true."
Whose child?
Grandpa Huang interrogated her like a criminal, but Yun Zhaozhao dared not show the slightest displeasure, for fear that her grandfather would leave in anger.
“…It’s Pei Jiuyan’s. But he doesn’t know that I’ve already signed the divorce papers with him, Grandpa, I was wrong.”
Before Old Master Huang could even ask, Yun Zhaozhao confessed on her own. She recounted everything that had happened recently, omitting many crucial details, such as Pei's mother's misunderstanding of the Yun family and Pei Jiuyan's purposeful contact.
Even so, Old Master Huang was furious: "What a Pei Jiuyan, what a Pei family!"
What goddaughter? Who knows how sordid they are in private?
"Zhaozhao, I'm asking you, have you really let go of Pei Jiuyan?"
"Old Master Huang asked."
"Yes, Grandpa. From now on, he is him, and I am me."
Yun Zhaozhao spoke firmly, saying that there was absolutely no possibility between her and Pei Jiuyan.
"That's good. I'm having a party at home in a couple of days, so come over early. Or, you can just move in with me."
Grandpa Huang's house wasn't as big as this one, but it was quieter.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't dare to act spoiled with her grandfather, so she could only say tactfully, "Grandpa, I like Aunt Chen's cooking."
Grandpa Huang poked her forehead, "You!"
He felt a pang of heartache. He shouldn't have left in a huff and abandoned his granddaughter. He thought Pei Jiuyan would treat her well, but who knew she was such a snob.
Over the past year, she has suffered countless grievances, and now she doesn't even dare to act coquettishly with him.
Thinking of this, Grandpa Huang's expression softened again: "Zhaozhao, Grandpa won't leave. I'll stay in Kyoto from now on. Don't be afraid, you're not alone."
"Grandpa."
Yun Zhaozhao finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into Old Master Huang's arms.
Since the Yun family's tragedy and her grandfather's passing, she felt like she was all alone. Now, she felt the long-lost warmth of family.
That day, Grandpa Huang stayed at the Yun family's house. Since Zhao Zhao didn't want to go to his place, he stayed to keep her company.
Pei Jiuyan received the news of Grandpa Huang's return at the hospital. He was peeling an apple for his mother when she heard the name Yun Zhaozhao, and she immediately became agitated.
"Why are you still in contact with her? Aren't you already divorced? Why are you still paying attention to her? Jiu Yan, have you forgotten that it was her family that ruined our family?"
“Jiuyan, she will harm you too, she will harm me, she will harm our whole family.”
Pei's mother looked somewhat ferocious, completely unlike her previous noblewoman demeanor.
When Assistant Qin saw her like this, his heart skipped a beat. Why did Madam seem like this...? Something was wrong. Could it be that she had some kind of mental problem?
