Chapter 205 I Will Always Love My Aunt
The receptionist covered her mouth in surprise and said, "No wonder you accompanied Qiqi to the variety show. We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Is she trying to blackmail you?"
The lady at the front desk was not talking nonsense. Qiqi is now receiving constant invitations for collaboration, and the entertainment company with the best resources in the circle also wants to sign Pei Xu and train him well.
Qiqi is more famous than any child star, her value is rising rapidly, and the advertising products she shoots are sold out in seconds after they are released online.
Hua Zhao held the child in his arms, his voice full of deliberately disguised inferiority: "Pei Yi and I just returned to China not long ago, and we have Qiqi with us, so we have a lot of money to spend. How can we blackmail her? She is afraid that we will blackmail her, because her husband is Cen Zheping."
Cen Zheping?
That famous actor?
It is said that the family is very rich.
The young lady opened her mouth wide, "Huh?"
Her voice was a little loud, attracting several girls nearby to come over and listen to the gossip.
Several young people gathered around Qiqi and Hua Zhao and started chatting. The lady at the front desk was afraid that Qiqi would feel sad when he saw his biological mother, so she thoughtfully pulled a stool over and sat in front of him to block his view.
Pei Yi's assistant brought the lunch box and opened it for him. "Engineer Pei, Sister Hua Zhao asked you to eat first. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing."
Now that his wife was here, Pei Yi felt very safe. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, completely ignoring Fang Qin, who was sitting in front of him with a pale face.
If she has the guts, she can leave now. If not, she can wait until he finishes eating.
In such an environment, Fang Qin was naturally on pins and needles. The moment Pei Xu came over, she looked at him expectantly with tears in her eyes.
She hoped that he could see her, come over to be with her, and hug her and call her mom like before.
Pei Xu was surrounded by a group of people not far away. She couldn't see Pei Xu, but some unpleasant words entered her ears.
"You can't do this if you remarry. Qiqi is so young. It's so pitiful for our Qiqi."
"I've never seen such a thing in my life. How can there be a mother like this?"
In less than ten minutes, Hua Zhao had become friends with the young people in the studio.
They had always liked Qiqi, and after hearing what happened to him, they hated Fang Qin deeply.
Hua Zhao hugged Qiqi and pinched his little face, reluctant to let him go: "If your mother insists on taking you away, don't forget your aunt, okay?"
Pei Qiqi grabbed her sleeve and shook her head.
Everyone who saw this scene felt distressed. The lady at the front desk said angrily, "No, we can't let Qiqi follow her. She will definitely not treat Qiqi well."
Everyone nodded. Hua Zhao had laid a solid foundation among the masses and the enemy's psychological defenses had almost been broken, so they decided to prepare for battle.
She smiled at everyone and pleaded carefully: "Pei Yi and I have recently applied to become Qiqi's legal guardians. The Cen family is rich and powerful. If we have to go to court, we may need your help."
Cen Zheping's reputation is plummeting now, and he can't stand having a wife who abandons her children and marries into a wealthy family.
If Fang Qin still wants to fight with them for custody, she doesn't mind using the power of public opinion as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Fang Qin.
The lady at the front desk was very righteous and immediately said, "Okay, I will definitely help if I can."
After eating the biscuits, Hua Zhao carried the child in his arms to the door and found a small corner to talk to him.
"Qiqi, Aunt and Uncle have something to say to your mother. Can you wait for us outside?"
Pei Xu nodded obediently. On the way Hua Zhao took him to the rest area, he carefully held his aunt's hand and looked up and asked, "Aunt, why did Mom want to come to see me?"
Could it be that mom likes him again?
Hua Zhao paused, feeling sorry for the four-year-old Qiqi who had to think about such complicated questions at such a young age.
"Qiqi, do you like your aunt? Your uncle said you want to live with us in the future. How about we make a pinky promise?"
Pei Qiqi obediently shook hands with her aunt and said, "I like you, I love you."
Hua Zhao's nose was sore, "If Auntie couldn't help but say something bad about your mother, would you still like Auntie?"
Pei Qiqi still nodded: "I will always like my aunt."
Hua Zhao was a little flattered, but he didn't want him to live with resentment towards his mother. That would be so tiring.
"Qiqi, the adult world is very complicated. When you grow up, you will understand that everyone has their own difficulties.
When weighing the pros, one has to make a choice, which may be right or wrong.
But no matter what the outcome, everyone has to pay for their own choices. ”
Pei Qiqi thought for a moment and asked, "Does mom have her own difficulties?"
Hua Zhao's mouth twitched, but his tone was certain: "Your mother is pure evil."
Seeing that the child looked normal, Hua Zhao continued, "She made her own choice to abandon you. Now she wants to come back and take you back. Your uncle and I strongly disagree."
Pei Qiqi felt her aunt's anger and patted her on the back with her little hands.
Hua Zhao was a little touched, and then he remembered that Qiqi must have seen Fang Qin just now.
"Did you just see your mother?"
Pei Qiqi nodded, and Hua Zhao asked him how he felt.
Pei Qiqi couldn't describe what that feeling was. When he first walked in, he actually didn't recognize that it was his mother.
His mother's appearance had become vague in his memory.
When Dr. Du was "chatting" with him, he showed him many photos of his mother.
Dr. Du asked him to talk to his mother, and he asked her why she didn't come to pick him up.
Of course, the photo will not answer his questions. It is just one of Dr. Du’s treatment methods.
Later, he saw with his own eyes that his mother had a new son, and his mother was no longer his mother.
"I seem to have forgotten my mother." The child blinked and said word by word.
He felt very unfamiliar with his mother and had no desire to get close to her. When they looked at each other, he did not react as strongly as he did in the hospital, and he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Hua Zhao hugged him and stroked his soft short hair: "If you forget it, just forget it. From now on, only remember the happy things.
Youyou’s birthday is coming soon. Let’s wait for your uncle to get off work and then go buy Youyou a birthday present, okay? ”
Hua Zhao handed Pei Qiqi to the care of the front desk lady and went to Pei Yi's office.
There were only three of them left in the office. Pei Yi walked to the window and pressed the glass switch. The fogged effect of the glass blocked all sight outside the window.
Fang Qin came here for the house in P City. In her words, she is Pei Xu's biological mother, and half of the money Pei Ye used to buy the house belonged to her.
Pei Yi was so angry that he needed oxygen.
Hua Zhao walked towards her with his arms folded across his chest, looking her up and down, and then up and down.
"I don't think you're short of money. If you were really short of money, you could probably make a few million just by selling second-hand bags and jewelry, right?
She is fighting over the house that her ex-husband left for her son. How can her face be thicker than the corner of the city wall? ” She said lightly.
Fang Qin is a woman who pays great attention to her appearance. Whenever she goes out, she must wear delicate makeup and be dazzling. She wants to be the focus of the crowd wherever she goes.
"Selling bags? How can I sell bags?" Fang Qin jumped up anxiously like a cat whose foot was stepped on. "Who told you I'm short of money? My husband has plenty of money."
The woman in front of him had a distorted face, and her delicate makeup could not hide her deep fatigue.
After the last cocktail party, Hua Zhao never saw her at any banquet.
She was collectively ostracized by Leah and the ladies in the upper circles of North City. Once, Madam Cen took her to attend a lady's birthday party. At the birthday party, Leah told Madam Cen that Fang Qin had abandoned her own son.
Old Madam Cen felt ashamed, so she said hello to the host of the banquet and left in a hurry.
After that, the Cen family forbade Cen Zheping to give her money anymore, let alone get close to Cen Yuankai.
She never sold a single painting of her own hung in a gallery.
But life had to go on. She was used to extravagance, and she couldn't stop buying luxury goods every month. She would buy any artwork she liked at art exhibitions, and she would spend seven figures every month at the beauty salon...
