Bai Hangyu was taller and more robust than Song Qihuan, the two little kids stood in front of Song Yuqiao together, both looking up at her with their necks stretched.
Such a scene, in Pei Si Cheng's view. Suddenly, another picture emerged out of nowhere in his mind, the mother hen went out to forage and came back, then the chicks in the nest, a brood of fluffy yellow little chickens, all stretched their necks and chirped loudly.
Xu Yuanyi had walked over from behind, first squatting down to hug Song Qihuan before standing up, "Stop messing around, your sister has just come back."
Then Pei Hangyu smiled and immediately grabbed Song Yuqiao's hand, turning his head to stick out his tongue at Song Qihuan.
Don't compete with me for Qiaoqiao, you're just a weak little kid who doesn't know your own strength.
When it was time to eat, everyone waited for Old Lady Song to sit down before they took their seats. Song Qiheng finally got to see her sister and arranged for her to sit on the left side of Song Yuqiao. The right side of Song Yuqiao naturally had to be Pei Si Cheng, and Pei Haoyu could only sit on the right side of Pei Si Cheng.
It's so frustrating, and now there's even an old dad between me and Qiaoqiao.
However, the only good thing is that Pei Hangyu is sitting next to Old Lady Song. Pei Hangyu can also tell who's in charge at home and naturally tries to curry favor with her.
There was also an empty seat next to Old Lady Song.
She frowned: "Why hasn't Song Hui come over yet?"
Xu Yuanyi made Song Qihuan sit up straight and listen, when she heard Old Lady Song ask a question, she quickly turned around and said: "He said he's not feeling well, so he won't come over for dinner."
She knew Song Yi was intentionally not coming, but in this situation, in front of Old Lady Song, she also needed to cover up for her husband.
Old Lady Song's face had already turned gloomy, "Is it just these two steps that are a problem? From the main building to my courtyard, can't even walk comfortably? Now I, as a mother, can't even be invited?"
Xu Yuanyi didn't talk back and said: "I'll go make a phone call now."
She got up, walked out of the dining room, into the living room, picked up the phone on the table, dialed the internal extension that connected to the rest of the house, and when it was answered, said: "Mom is in a bad mood, come over for dinner."
Since Song Yi didn't arrive, nobody at the dinner table picked up their chopsticks either.
However, the two little guys looked hungry, so Old Lady Song let them eat first.
Song Qihuan glanced at Song Yuqiao sitting beside her and said: "Sister, you eat too."
Song Yuqiao did not transfer her dislike of Song Qihuan's mother, Xu Yuyi, to this innocent child after all, saying whatever has nothing to do with the child.
She smiled: "Hanh you eat first, sister is not hungry, will eat later."
Song Qihuan's face turned red and said: "I want to eat with my sister together, I'll eat a little later."
Bae Hwan-young, who had already eaten a pill, suddenly froze like he was chewing QQ candy, and then swallowed it stiffly, as if he had swallowed a handful of duck down.
Why did he think that small bean sprout was actually more enlightened than him?
Pei Si Cheng lowered his head and looked at his son, using his eyes to tell him: pay attention to your table manners, don't look like you've never had good food before, being refined is important.
Pei Hangyu slanted his eyes and stared at his old man, blinking frantically: Dad, this bun is so delicious that it's friendless!
Mrs. Song was very satisfied with Pei Cheng, the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was really good, now sitting at the table, for the first time having dinner and asking him to take care of things at home, so she said: "First time coming, just let you wait, it's this old woman who didn't teach her children well usually."
"Grandma taught Qiao very well," said Pei Shu Cheng.
Bae Ho-young couldn't help but say: "Grandma taught me well too."
Mrs. Song burst out laughing and said: "Pei Haoyu, I've only known you for a few days, where did I teach you?"
Bai Hangyu's little brain started frantically searching for flattering words and said, "Because I dreamed of grandma in my dreams."
Pei Si tapped on Pei Hao Yu's bowl: "Children shouldn't talk so much."
Bae Ho-young pouted and said, "Got it."
From the main building to Song's courtyard, it would take only a few minutes if you hurry. Song Hui arrived and Old Lady Song said in a tone of discontent: "Look, a whole table of people are waiting for you, Song Hui, are you getting more and more muddle-headed as you get older? You're not even as sensible as a four or five year old child."
Song Yi's face didn't look very good, and he hadn't expected his mother to scold him in front of so many people, especially with outsiders present.
He cleared his throat, sat down, and said, "Go ahead and eat, don't wait for me."
At that moment, Pei Haoyu felt that Qiao's father was so hypocritical, even more hypocritical than his own father. They had already waited for a long time, and even if they didn't need to wait, it was still a long time.
Since they were having dinner with their elders, it was inevitable that they would have to make a toast. Pei Si Cheng, who had brought Pei Huang Yu for the first time, stood up first, holding his wine glass, and toasted Song Old Lady. In front of Song Yu Qiao was a cup of fruit wine, and she also followed Pei Si Cheng's lead, standing up together to make a toast.
When they sat down, Pei Si Cheng refilled the wine cup. Pei Huang Yu took advantage of his father's inattention and secretly picked up a chopstick to dip into his father's wine cup. Before his father could notice, he quickly snatched the chopstick away and put it in his mouth. The slight alcohol flavor immediately invaded his nostrils.
"Ah choo choo choo..."
Pei Hangyu stuck out his long tongue, looking like a hanged ghost, and ran straight to the bathroom from his seat. Song Yuqiao also noticed and quickly followed him, letting Pei Hangyu drink some water to rinse his mouth.
Song Yi looked at this scene, and coldly laughed in her heart. Indeed, like father, like son. However, since Song Yuqiao wanted to be with Pei Si Cheng, then she would have to take on this man as well as his child. But, logically speaking, this child should be Pei Si Cheng's, and the treasure of the Pei family. Yet, at this moment, Pei Si Cheng still had a calm expression, not even going to see his own son? Was he really that trusting of Song Yuqiao, who would one day become the stepmother?
Originally, Song Yi just thought so, it didn't matter, but Pei Si Cheng wanted to explain one more sentence: "It's okay, Yu Jiao is following me, I'm at ease."
Then, it became a thorn in Song Yi's heart. She was actually seen through by someone, and her thoughts were clearly pointed out. This meal had really lost its appeal.
In the bathroom, Bae Ho-young rinsed his mouth three times.
Song Yuqiao half-squatted down, looking at Pei Haoyu's appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Why do you want to drink?"
Bae Ho-young lowered his head, "Because I think drinking is cool."
Song Yuqiao put the cup on the washbasin and flicked Pei Hangyu's forehead: "Still think it's cool now?"
Bae Ho-young immediately shook his head very obediently: "Not at all."
Song Yuqiao then pulled Pei Haoyu out of the bathroom, and Pei Haoyu thought to himself that it was all over, Jiaojiao didn't like him anymore and had taken a liking to Song Qihuan's little bean sprout instead.
But Song Yuqiao thought in his heart that he must have a talk with Pei Si Cheng, parents are the best teachers for children, and as a father, he should set a good example for his child.
However, just as he sat down in his seat, Pei Si Cheng poured a full cup of wine that had just been refilled and placed it in front of Pei Huai Yu, saying: "Next time you want to drink, don't secretly drink."
Song Yuqiao directly kicked Pei Shichen under the table, scolding him with her eyes and a hint of blame in her tone: "Do you have to tease kids like that? Drink your own."
Pei Si chuckled.
To him, this sentence somehow always carried a hint of coquetry.
On the dinner table, everything was still proceeding in an orderly manner as before. However, that little kid named Song Qihuan was really picky about his food. His mother Xu Yuanyi picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and said: "I don't want to eat this green vegetable."
Xu Yuanyi put the deboned fish into a bowl for Song Qihuan and said, "I don't want to eat fish meat."
Mrs. Song finally got angry, slammed the chopsticks on the table and said, "You don't eat this, you don't eat that, starving all day, even plain steamed buns taste good! Look at Pei Haoyu, only one year older than you, he eats everything!"
Song Qihuan burst into tears as soon as she heard it, and her tears began to fall.
Bae Ho-young lowered his head and quietly ate his meal.
Grandma, actually I don't eat everything either. I just won't eat that clumpy stuff. I'm not picky about food, though. But being praised by Grandma makes me very happy!
Finally, the one who enjoyed this meal the most was Pei Hangyu's little friend. No matter when, no one could bear to deprive him of food!
He also sat across from his old dad, and handed Song Yuqiao a chicken wing, "Qiao Qiao, have some chicken!"
Then, the chicken wing was struggling to move forward in Bae Ho-young's chopsticks and suddenly fell into Dad's bowl.
Bae Ho-young is somewhat depressed, with an old dad in between, it's really inconvenient in all aspects.
After dinner, Old Lady Song called Pei Su to her room. Song Yi said something to Old Lady Song and then returned to the main building.
Xu Yuanyi said: "I'll help Mom clean up a bit, you go back first, I'll carry Huanhuan back later."
There's nothing for her to collect, it's just for show.
Mrs. Song called Pei Shu Cheng, but Song Yu Qiao also followed in.
"Grandma was calling me," said Pei Suo Chen, "what are you sneaking in here for? Eavesdropping?"
Song Yu Qiao snorted, "I'm just here to tell you one thing, don't mess with my grandma again."
After finishing speaking, Song Yuqiao turned around and left, closing the door on her way out.
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "My granddaughter is just stubborn."
Pei Si Cheng just smiled, and from the pocket of his outer coat, he had already taken out a folded envelope and handed it to Old Lady Song with both hands: "This is Pei Huai Yu and Yu Qiao's paternity test report."
And he had confirmed it repeatedly beforehand, so there was absolutely no possibility of another "Wang Dahua" incident like last time.
Mrs. Song called Pei Si Cheng to come in, the first thing was indeed about the relationship between Song Yu Qiao and Pei Huang Yu. Although she didn't mind if they were biological or not, that little guy Pei Huang Yu was really likable. Even if he wasn't her biological child, Song Yu Qiao could still have children in the future.
She took it over, opened the envelope and put on a pair of reading glasses.
Pei Si stood beside with his arms hanging down, watching Old Lady Song look at the results, and finally let out a long sigh of relief. "Good, not bad, all good kids."
………………
Outside Mrs. Song's room, Song Yuqiao was being called "sister" by two little kids in turn, both of whom were almost as tall as her head.
Song Qi Han first wanted Song Yu Qiao to play with toys together, and called out "sister". Then, Pei Hang Yu was unwilling, and started shouting loudly "sister sister", immediately after that, Song Qi Han stared at Pei Hang Yu, calling "sister sister sister sister", three times, one more time than Pei Hang Yu.
However, Bae Ho-young smiled calmly: "I'm not your sister, you've got the wrong person."
Mung bean sprouts, how can they be a match for super-powered potatoes?
Pei Hang-yu recently played Plants vs Zombies and asked: "Do you know Peashooter?"
Song Qihuan shook her head.
Bae Ho-young pulled out two masks he had made at home from his small backpack, "Now I'm the Zombie King and you're the Pea Shooter."
Song Yuqiao looked at Pei Haoyu and Song Qihuan playing together, so she didn't bother them anymore. Behind her, Xu Yuying smiled and said, "It's rare to see Huanhuan so happy."
Song Yuqiao turned around and said, "If you weren't keeping him tied to your side all day, letting him go out and play with kids of the same age, he would be this happy every day, instead of just sticking to you."
Xu Yuanyi was told by Song Yuqiao, and she felt very angry in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said: "Hanh Han is afraid of strangers and is small in stature. He went to kindergarten twice and was bullied by the older kids until he cried. So I invited a private tutor to teach him at home..."
Song Yuqiao directly interrupted her: "The more you spoil him, the more afraid he will be. How can a family teacher in this home environment give children the same experience as in a collective environment? In this environment, his growth must be deformed. When it's time to let go, you should let him contact other children more. You always let him stay at home, and the people he contacts are either nannies or family members. Personality is formed at this age."
Xu Yuanyi originally was still good-tempered towards Song Yujiao, but now hearing Song Yujiao speak without giving her any face, she directly squatted down and picked up Song Qihuan, glaring at Song Yujiao: "This is my son, I'm willing to teach him however I want, it's my business, you have the ability, go take care of your own son."
After finishing speaking, she also ignored Song Qihuan's crying and directly walked out of the door.
In a fit of anger, he directly slapped Song Qiheng's butt and said, "If you make another sound, I'll throw you out."
Bai Haoyu was somewhat slow to react, then looked up at Song Yuqiao: "Qiao Qiao, he's still wearing my Pea Shooter."
………………
Xu Yuanyi was on her way back with her son, and her already bad mood became even more irritable due to Song Qihans crying. She didn't know where to vent her anger, so when she returned to the main building, she handed the child in her arms over to the nanny and then went upstairs herself.
Song Yuqiao actually dared to teach her how to educate children? How old is she, has she ever raised a child?
Xu Yuanyi took out her phone and walked into a tea room on the second floor, where she dialed a number for Song Jierou.
"Jie Rou, did you know that Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan are divorced?"
Song Jierou did not expect Xu Yuanyi to call her at this time, and since Xu Wanli was by her side, some things were inconvenient to say, "I'll call you back later."
Then he hung up the phone.
Xu Yuanyi poured herself a glass of iced water, suppressing the burning fire in her heart, and waited for about ten minutes before Song Jierou's phone call finally came.
Song Jierou said: "Divorced, what's wrong with you? Who told you?"
Xu Yuanyi snorted: "Who else can you listen to? Listen to Song Yujiao herself, she came back home for dinner today and brought a man with her."
On the other end of the phone, Song Jieyu was even more surprised.
Three months ago, before Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan divorced, she was also kicked out of the house. However, in the middle of the night, she returned in a luxury car, which made Song Jierou feel unbelievable, thinking that she must have found another rich patron outside.
But judging from Song Yuqiao's divorce, even if she had a rich patron supporting her, she would still be a middle-aged woman with a big belly.
"What man?"
Xu Yuanyi said: "You've been in C City for a long time, I guess you've seen it before. The Pei family is quite famous in C City, aren't they?"
"Hmm, let me think," Song Jieyu suddenly smiled and jokingly said, "Don't say that Song Yuqiao caught a golden turtle husband, but rather the son of the Pei family?"
Song Jieyou herself felt it was impossible and laughed, "Then tell me, is it the eldest or third son of the Pei family?"
"Pei Si Cheng, if I'm not mistaken, should be Lao San."
Song Jieyou: "......"
She never thought that it would actually be true?!
Xu Yuanyi heard Song Hui's voice in the corridor behind her, turned her head to respond, and then hastily said to Song Jierou: "My brother is calling me outside, I'll talk to you another day..."
………………
"Wait, aren't Song Yuqiao and them going to stay at home for a few days?"
Song Jieyou hadn't even finished asking a sentence when the phone was hung up and all she could hear was a busy tone.
She put down her mobile phone.
It's really unbelievable that Song Yuqiao actually has such good luck? After leaving Ye Zenan, she can actually climb up to a family like the Pei family?
At first, Song Jiejing really underestimated her niece, saying that she didn't understand that even the divorce was already planned, and she just didn't know the truth at the time and intentionally added fuel to the fire. Now she regrets it so much that her intestines are all green.
But her own daughter Xu Wanli was still devoted to Ye Zenan and wanted to go find him.
Originally, even if she was pregnant, Ye Zenan looked at her purely because of Song Yuqiao and Pei Yuling's pressure on Xu Wenli's fetus. Now that Xu Wenli can't get pregnant, how could Ye Zenan look at her again?
In short, Xu Wenli's infertility must be kept secret, otherwise, with Lilie's temperament, she would definitely not be able to bear it.
Song Jierou walked out of the bathroom and found that Xu Wanli was no longer in the room. She called out twice, "Lili! Lili!"
But after searching from the bedroom to the kitchen, there was still no sign of Xu Wenli. Song Jierou called Xu Wenli, but she didn't answer either.
She suddenly felt a little flustered.
Actually, Xu Wanli is now in a taxi on her way to Ye Zhenan's company.
She has been in the hospital for a month since she had a cesarean section, Ye Zenan never came to see her, and at home these days, Ye Zenan also never showed up, not even a phone call. She felt wronged in her heart, why was it painful for her to have a child, and now after the fact, she was suffering alone?
She wants to go ask Ye Zenan.
However, when she arrived at the Ye's company building, after the receptionist made a phone call, she was directly asked to leave by the security guard.
Xu Wanli said: "I want to see your CEO of Ye's family, is this how you handle things?"
The receptionist said: "Sorry, you need an appointment to see General Ye."
Xu Wanli was carried by two security guards and taken outside, Xu Wanli struggled with all her might, but how could she overcome the strength of two big men? In the end, when they reached the company gate, she was pushed hard and fell to the ground.
Xu Wanli was furious and stomped her foot, but this time she couldn't even enter the large hall on the first floor, as two bodyguards standing at the door glared at her.
She kicked forward fiercely and broke one of her high-heeled shoes, falling to the ground with a cry of "Aiyo!"
A woman got out of a car behind him and squatted down, "Lily."
Xu Wanli raised her head and saw Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo helped Xu Wenli up, "How did you end up falling here? Isn't your aunt around?"
"No, I," said Xu Wanli, "I sneaked out, if my aunt knew, she definitely wouldn't let me out."
Qiao Mo helped Xu Wanli into the car, and Xu Wanli looked at this new car with a sparkle in her eyes. "Qiao Mo, you bought a car? This car looks really good."
"Uh-huh."
Qiao Mo drove to a store and helped Xu Wanli in to try on shoes.
Xu Wanli was taken aback by the prices in this store and instinctively clutched her purse tightly.
In the past, when she was with her mother Xu Yuanyi, she was very frugal and lived a simple life. Although Song Jierou gave her a lot of money now, she had never spent thousands of yuan on a pair of shoes before.
She tried on two pairs of shoes, both were good, but one pair was three thousand yuan more expensive than the other.
She stood in front of the mirror and asked Qiaomu: "Which pair do you think looks good?"
Qiao Mo pointed at the expensive pair and said: "This one."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and asked the waiter, "I'll take this pair of shoes. Can I pay by card?"
The waiter said: "Of course."
After the printed receipt was printed, the waiter handed over the pen and let her sign. She covered Xu Wenli's line of sight with one hand and signed "Ye Zenan".
………………
In S city.
Three people who had eaten and drunk enough came out of Song's house.
Song Yuqiao asked Pei Si Cheng: "What did my grandmother just say to you?"
"Ask me when I plan to have children."
Song Yuqiao's face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head to take a glance at Pei Haoyu. The little guy seemed to be enjoying himself, and hadn't heard the conversation between the two adults above.
Song Yuqiao raised his head and mouthed to Pei Si: "Let's talk about it when Xiao Huo is not around."
Pei Su looked at Song Yuqiao's expression and smiled: "Okay, let's talk tonight."
Bai Hangyu held Qiao Qiao's hand on one side and his dad's hand on the other, bouncing up and down in between them as they walked, looking especially pleased with himself, to the point where "pleased" didn't even begin to cover it.
As they were approaching the front gate, there was a black private car outside the gate. It was Li Bei's car coming to pick up Pei Si Cheng. The little guy was also tired and suddenly left the ground, wanting both Pei Si Cheng and Song Yu Qiao to carry him as they walked.
Song Yuqiao's shoulder suddenly felt a bit heavier, thinking that the little guy had fallen, and hurriedly supported him.
Bae Ho-young said: "Qiao Qiao, you and dad carry me away!"
He wants to do so because he once saw Mu Xiaodong's parents, one on each side of Mu Xiaodong, holding him and running forward together, which feels especially good. However, since he doesn't have a mom, only his dad is around, it's fundamentally impossible for him to do that.
In that instant, Song Yuqiao saw a hint of desolation in Pei Hangyu's eyes, as if this child who had always been fearless and belonged to the optimistic faction was really filled with grievance, just like when he was stopped from leaving the temple.
She suddenly squatted down and hugged Pei Huaiyu tightly, feeling only guilt towards this little guy.
Bai Haoyu's eyes widened in surprise as Qiaoqiao actually took the initiative to hug him!
It feels great! Then, the little guy kissed Song Yuqiao's cheek, and his mouth corners almost reached his ear roots.
It seems there was no disappointment after all, Song Yuqiao must have been mistaken.
Li Bei first drove the car to the hotel where they were staying. Pei Si instructed, "You go up with Pei Huai Yu first."
Li Bei heard this command from his boss and felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He carefully asked, "Don't I need to follow you to the company anymore?"
"You don't have to, just take care of Pei Hangyu this afternoon."
Li Bei was on the verge of tears, "Alright."
It's summer now and it's easy to feel drowsy. In the back seat, Bai Hanyu is lying on Song Yuqiao's lap with his eyes already closed.
Song Yuqiao handed the little guy over to Li Bei and said: "Take him up and let him take two digestive enzymes first, he ate a lot at noon."
"Yes, boss."
Song Yuqiao: "......"
She watched as Li Bei carried the little guy into the hotel, then turned and got into the passenger seat of the car.
"Do I need to review any materials in advance this time?" Song Yuqiao knew that this time at the branch company, it was mainly about General Manager Xu Shaojie's matter, but she had not made any preparations.
Pei Si's hands rested steadily on the steering wheel as he looked at Song Yuqiao with a warm smile in his eyes, "Boss?"
