If Tao Jing can marry into the Ye family, it will also be beneficial to her father's career. It seems that Tao Jing is not completely useless.
…
Tao Jing glanced in the direction of the study room and saw that the door was tightly closed.
She then whispered to Jiang Ziyu, "I ran into Tao Shu when I went out to buy groceries just now."
Jiang Ziyu said, "Why is Tao Shu here? What is she doing here? Did she bully you again?"
Tao Shu loved to bully Tao Jing when they were students. Jiang Ziyu knew all about it and even had an argument with Tao Shu.
Tao Jing shook her head and said, "That's not the case. Her husband Pei Zhisheng's hometown is right here, so she and Pei Zhisheng came here to the countryside to pay New Year's greetings."
"I see. But isn't it normal to go back to the countryside to pay New Year's greetings?"
Tao Jing said helplessly: "It's normal, but my cousin's husband, his situation is a bit complicated. To be honest, he is actually a second marriage. He was married once before in his hometown, and he also gave birth to a daughter and abandoned her in his hometown. He has not cared about her for so many years."
When Jiang Zi heard this, he was shocked.
She also had a certain understanding of Tao Jing's cousin Tao Shu. She knew that she was an arrogant and proud young lady. Moreover, Jiang Ziyu had heard her ordering Tao Jing around with no respect many times. She did not treat her as her sister at all, but as a younger sister under her.
Of course, Tao Jing was too honest at that time, and foolishly thought Tao Shu was her good sister.
Tao Shu also ordered him around at school for a while. It was common for him to bring Tao Shu lunch and carry her schoolbag.
After meeting Jiang Ziyu, Tao Jing gradually came to her senses and realized that Tao Shu looked down on her.
She then distanced herself from Tao Shu and no longer believed whatever Tao Shu said.
Because of this past, Jiang Ziyu has never liked Tao Shu.
Even later, Tao Shu opened a large foreign trade company with the help of the Tao family's connections and network, and her business was booming, and she became a strong woman praised by everyone.
Jiang Ziyu still didn't change his opinion of her.
No matter how capable he is at work, his character is not very good. He even has such an attitude towards his own cousin. It is conceivable that he will not be very nice to other people outside.
Jiang Ziyu knew that Tao Shu had married a rural man from another place who was several years younger than her. What she didn't expect was that the man was actually a second marriage.
How could someone as proud as Tao Shu marry a divorced man for no reason?
He even ignores his daughter back home. Is he still a man?
It's too magical.
It seems that Tao Shu's taste is not that good either.
Jiang Ziyu sneered, "You should use the same lid as the pot. Your cousin's husband didn't even acknowledge his daughter back home just to eat Tao Shu's soft rice. Does he think that not acknowledging her doesn't mean she doesn't exist?"
Jiang Ziyu was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Tao Jing's abnormal behavior, she gradually had a guess in her mind: "A Jing, this gigolo's daughter in the countryside is not your student, right? Is that why you are so depressed?"
Tao Jing looked at Jiang Ziyu and smiled bitterly: "What if I say the truth is even more ridiculous?"
Jiang Ziyu looked at her in confusion, and then she heard Tao Shu say, "The daughter of Pei Zhisheng in that hometown is none other than Tiantian. Tiantian is Pei Zhisheng's daughter."
Jiang Ziyu finally came to his senses.
Pei Tiantian, Pei Zhisheng.
She thought they just had the same surname, but she didn't expect that they were actually father and daughter!
While marveling at such a coincidence, Jiang Ziyu remembered how Pei Tiantian addressed Tao Jing.
Godmother.
Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath, his eyes changing constantly.
God, this is too messy.
The daughter of Tao Jing's cousin Tao Shu's husband Pei Zhisheng and his ex-wife is Tao Jing's goddaughter.
Jiang Ziyu could already imagine how angry Tao Shu would be if she knew that Tao Jing had adopted Pei Tiantian as her goddaughter behind his back. But when she thought of this, Jiang Ziyu found it very funny. She didn't like Tao Shu, so she naturally looked forward to seeing her get humiliated.
Jiang Ziyu said, "Ajing, you are really brave. Aren't you afraid that Tao Shu will ask you for an explanation after she finds out? She will say that you are deliberately trying to annoy them."
Tao Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Tiantian is my goddaughter. I adopted her because I like her and I am willing to spoil her. It has nothing to do with Pei Zhisheng and Tao Shu. What qualifications do they have to make trouble with me?"
"If they do anything bad to Tiantian, I will just pretend that I don't have such a cousin and I will never have any contact with them again."
Hearing Tao Shu's strong tone, like an old hen protecting her chicks, Jiang Ziyu showed surprise on her face.
It seems that Pei Tiantian holds a very special position in Tao Jing's heart, which made Tao Jing say such cruel words.
Jiang Ziyu smiled with satisfaction. She liked seeing Tao Jing looking so imposing.
Jiang Ziyu: "When you adopted Tiantian as your goddaughter, did you know her background?"
Tao Jing nodded: "Of course I know, it's because I love Tiantian so much. You also know how much Tao Shu and Pei Zhisheng dote on Siqi, and my uncle also holds Siqi in the palm of his hand. Siqi has basically had everything she wants since she was born, and even went to a private aristocratic kindergarten for her studies."
Tao Jing's eyes were filled with sadness. "Tiantian lives in the countryside without her parents to take care of her, and she doesn't have such good material conditions. She is so pitiful in comparison. She and Siqi are sisters, but their living environments are so different. I... I really can't bear it. I just want to treat her better in my own way."
Jiang Ziyu frowned.
Indeed, some people are born in Rome, while others struggle all their lives and never reach their starting point.
It would be fine if the two parties were just strangers.
But Pei Siqi and Pei Tiantian are half-sisters. With this comparison, even Jiang Ziyu felt inexplicably depressed.
After all, Pei Zhisheng, this gigolo, is too despicable. Even if he is unwilling to come back, he should at least fulfill his financial obligations to his daughter.
At least this way, Pei Tiantian's life can be better and the gap between her and Pei Siqi can be narrowed.
However, he didn't do anything. He just acted as the glamorous President Pei in Guangshi.
Jiang Ziyu is afraid of marriage again.
Men are really not good people.
Stay away from men and live a peaceful life.
Jiang Ziyu thought to himself.
"Now what I fear most is that Tiantian will get hurt if she meets them, so when Tao Shu said she wanted to live with me, I found an excuse to reject her."
Jiang Ziyu pondered for a moment and said seriously: "A Jing, I understand that you don't want Tiantian to get hurt, but Tiantian will meet Tao Shu and her family sooner or later. If you keep guarding like this, they will still meet after they arrive in the countryside. It's better to let nature take its course, what do you think?"
Tao Jing, you were slightly stunned.
She also discovered that because of Tao Shu's sudden arrival, she was confused and panicked, and she was so nervous that she couldn't even see these problems clearly as Jiang Ziyu.
Tao Jing was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "You're right, I understand."
The two stopped talking about this topic and started cooking.
Pei Tiantian in the study room pressed her whole body against the door and started eavesdropping secretly.
Because the whole house is not big, the kitchen and study are not far from each other.
Pei Tiantian struggled to hear a faint sound coming out of the kitchen.
Pei Tiantian finally made out the names "Pei Zhisheng" and "Tao Shu", but she couldn't hear the rest clearly.
But it's enough.
It seems that Pei Tiantian's guess has finally been verified. It turns out that the scumbag father and his family have come.
Tao Jing ran into them when she went out to buy groceries.
Pei Tiantian turned around and met Gu Rong's dark eyes, staring at her intently.
Pei Tiantian knew that it was abnormal for a seven-year-old child to stick to the door and eavesdrop repeatedly, but she had been seen eavesdropping by Gu Rong several times, so she didn't care at this time. Anyway, the villain was not a talkative person and would not tell her godmother that they had eavesdropped.
Pei Tiantian sat on the stool with her short legs, and continued to read comics with Gu Rong.
Seeing that Gu Rong had no intention of asking her any questions, Pei Tiantian couldn't sit still anymore. She said aggrievedly, "Brother Gu Rong, it turns out that my dad and his friends are here. My godmother just ran into them, so she kept it a secret from me."
In fact, Gu Rong had already known about this matter from Tao Jing's conflicted thoughts, and heard Pei Tiantian take the initiative to talk to him about it.
He looked at her with some surprise, as if he didn't understand what Pei Tiantian wanted to do.
Pei Tiantian stretched out her two small hands, grabbed the villain's arm, shook it several times, pursed her lips, and looked at Gu Rong pitifully with her watery grape eyes, "Brother Gu Rong, Tiantian is so scared, Tiantian doesn't want to see them!"
Pei Tiantian thought that she would hear words of comfort from the villain, but she didn't expect Gu Rong to see through her thoughts and didn't say what she wanted to say. He just whispered "Oh" and then turned his gaze back to the comic book.
Pei Tiantian, who was originally pretending to be aggrieved, is now really aggrieved.
She is about to meet that scumbag father, shouldn't the villain say something nice to soothe her wounded heart?
Why is he like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, not saying anything?
The more Pei Tiantian thought about it, the more unhappy she became. The villain didn’t care about her at all!
Pei Tiantian snorted heavily, moved her little butt quickly, and deliberately turned her head away from Gu Rong, not wanting to look at him.
Gu Rong lowered his eyes and looked at Pei Tiantian's round little head. He knew without looking that Pei Tiantian's face was angry. There was no expression on Gu Rong's face, but the corners of his mouth quietly curved into a slight arc.
He clearly knew that Pei Tiantian was lying and was deliberately trying to make himself miserable.
She was not afraid of Pei Zhisheng and the others at all. Gu Rong even felt that even if she met Pei Zhisheng and the others, Pei Tiantian would definitely not be the one who suffered.
But Gu Rong couldn't help but soften his heart. He didn't know why, but he didn't want to see Pei Tiantian suffer any injustice, even if she was pretending.
Suddenly, Pei Tiantian felt a hand on her head, touching it. The action was very gentle, but the tone was a little clumsy, as if she was not used to saying such words: "Don't be afraid, I won't let them bully you."
Pei Tiantian's grape eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly turned around, her eyes smiling as beautifully as a crescent moon: "Brother Gu Rong, I know that you care about me the most and love me the most. Brother Gu Rong, can you promise Tiantian that you will always be so good to Tiantian!"
Pei Tiantian quickly hugged Gu Rong's arms with her two little chubby hands and rubbed them affectionately with her little chubby face.
Gu Rong lowered his head and looked into Pei Tiantian's sparkling grape eyes.
He blurted out, “Okay.”
At this moment, Gu Rong saw joy and cunning in Pei Tiantian's eyes, just like a kitten that had stolen food, wagging its tail in pride.
He just said "OK", was Pei Tiantian so satisfied?
Gu Rong was a little surprised, but he felt inexpressibly happy, as if his heart was filled with something.
He...is he very important to Pei Tiantian?
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be needed.
After Tao Jing and Jiang Ziyu finished their meal, they opened the door to the study and were about to call them out for dinner, when this scene came into view.
The two children were sitting side by side in front of the table. The little girl was flipping through a comic book in her hand, leaning lazily on the little boy, mumbling something, while the little boy lowered his head and seemed to be listening to her attentively.
Tao Jing's eyes softened for a moment, and she suddenly couldn't bear to break such a warm scene.
When Jiang Ziyu saw the two little kids, she realized that children were not always so troublesome.
Jiang Ziyu, Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian were discussing the plot when they were reading comics in the study room.
As a result, Jiang Ziyu was shocked by the two kids' words and conversation.
No wonder these two children were admitted to the best middle school in the city at such a young age.
They look like two kids on the surface, but they are very mature in their thinking. Even when they read a cartoon, they can understand the deeper meaning behind the funny parts.
Jiang Ziyu used to think that children meant trouble. Except when she was on the set and had to interact with children out of professional ethics, Jiang Ziyu actually did not have that much patience to get along with children.
However, because of Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian, Jiang Ziyu's original attitude of keeping a distance from children has quietly changed.
After they finished dinner, Tao Jing took Jiang Ziyu, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong to the Central Plaza shopping district in Yu City to buy clothes.
Jiang Zi has to go into the mountains to film a movie and will have to stay there for at least a month.
So the clothes she bought were mainly for warmth. She bought five or six thick, long down jackets at once, in black, white and floral styles.
Pei Tiantian saw Jiang Ziyu casually trying on those ugly down jackets, and she was as beautiful as the models showing the clothes. After a short while, she attracted the attention of many people in the store.
