As soon as the message was sent, Wu Junchen's call came in.
Wu Pengpeng was feeling insecure. Seeing Wu Junchen's call, she felt as if she had grabbed a lifesaver.
"Big brother, is the situation at home really bad now?" She remembered the plot she had seen in a TV drama before, where those unmarried girls who got pregnant were beaten half to death by their parents. Her heart skipped a beat. "Xinxin is still young. She can't live without her mom."
Wu Junchen laughed to comfort her. "Don't be scared. The old man is just pretending to be silent in the group. In fact, he has looked at the little dumpling's photos over and over again in private. He also said the little one looks just like you when you were a kid."
Wu Pengpeng let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, big brother."
Wu Junchen seemed to like this sudden little nephew very much. He secretly came to inquire. "Hey, now that I'm an uncle, I should prepare some gifts for the kid, right? What does Xinxin like? I got a top - grade jade the other day. How about making it into something for the kid..."
"Don't you dare!" Wu Pengpeng quickly stopped him. "Xinxin doesn't like jade."
Giving a piece of good jade to the little dumpling? Was he crazy!
As the little dumpling's guardian, these things would end up being counted on her.
Wu Junchen hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "I also have a few calligraphy and paintings by Song Yan. What do you think?"
Giving calligraphy and paintings to a kid who doesn't even have a kindergarten diploma. What on earth was he thinking?
However, Wu Pengpeng had also heard of the name Song Yan. Her grandfather had collected quite a few of his calligraphy and paintings.
Song Yan was a calligrapher and painter in the Dayan Dynasty, about 1,500 years ago. The value of his calligraphy and paintings was equivalent to the authentic works of Yan Zhenqing!
Wu Pengpeng was so scared that she quickly stopped him. "Big brother, Xinxin likes to drink milk. He likes the people who buy milk for him the most."
Wu Junchen was skeptical. "Won't that be too shabby?"
"Not at all." Wu Pengpeng followed his words. "The kid is still young. Even if you give him good things, he won't understand. If you really want to give something, you can give it to him when he grows up."
Anyway, by then her task of squandering money would be over.
Hearing her words, Wu Junchen gave up and said he would immediately go to buy milk for his little nephew.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Pengpeng let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed her temples tiredly.
Zhao Bufan looked guilty. "Sorry, I didn't know you hadn't told your family."
Wu Pengpeng waved her hand. "I have to tell them sooner or later anyway."
She got up and walked to the little dumpling. She squatted down and discussed with him. "Xinxin, shall we go to mommy's home tomorrow to see grandpa and grandma?"
Yan Zixin looked up from the pile of toys and subconsciously looked at He Qianshan.
He Qianshan stroked his head and said gently, "Be a good boy, Xinxin. Go back with mommy tomorrow, okay?"
Yan Zixin frowned and asked, "Uncle He won't go with us?"
Hearing this, Wu Pengpeng felt a headache. The little dumpling was too attached to He Qianshan now. If He Qianshan didn't go, she might not be able to take him there.
But the fact that she had a child out of wedlock was not something to be proud of. The Wu family probably didn't want others to know.
If He Qianshan went there without any sense of propriety at this time, he would surely leave a bad impression on the elders.
Just as Wu Pengpeng was thinking about how to say it without annoying the little dumpling, He Qianshan spoke first. "Uncle has work to do tomorrow and can't go with you. Be a good boy and listen to mommy."
The little dumpling pouted, looking extremely unhappy. He even stopped playing with his toys.
He Qianshan laughed to comfort him. "If you behave well tomorrow, I'll take you to the amusement park the day after tomorrow. How about that?"
Yan Zixin jumped up happily. "Okay, okay! I'll surely behave well!"
Wu Pengpeng looked at He Qianshan gratefully and gave him an admiring look.
He Qianshan asked in a low voice, "Are you really okay taking him back alone?"
Wu Pengpeng wasn't sure either, but by this time, she could only take one step at a time.
She gave He Qianshan a reassuring look. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Thanks to Wu Junchen's call, Wu Pengpeng suddenly got an idea about squandering money. She prepared meeting gifts for the Wu family on behalf of the little dumpling.
She gave her second uncle a top - grade inkstone collected by her grandfather, a valuable ruby necklace to her second aunt, and a mountain - view villa to her third uncle...
Anyway, she prepared the gifts according to their respective preferences.
On the way, she repeatedly told little Yan Zixin that he must act cute and make grandpa, grandma and uncles accept the gifts. Otherwise, he would never see Uncle He again.
Perhaps this threat was too scary. As soon as they arrived at the Wu family, little Yan Zixin showed his acting skills like a movie star. He made all the elders happily accept the gifts.
Taking the kid to meet the elders and squandering several hundred million at the same time. Wu Pengpeng was extremely satisfied with this result.
She sat there happily with her arms folded, watching the little dumpling being doted on like a star.
She didn't know what her second uncle had said, but the little dumpling took out a small booklet from his little backpack. When he opened it, there were small flowers, grass and animals he had cut out.
Although they were cut very clumsily, each one was laminated. It should have been done by He Qianshan.
The little dumpling held the booklet and distributed the gifts he had prepared to everyone one by one. Even Wu You and Wu Xian, who were always the most serious, loved his gifts.
Seeing that everyone really liked the little dumpling, Wu Pengpeng let out a long sigh of relief. Her life was temporarily saved.
The heating in the room was too strong, making her feel drowsy. She got up and walked out to send a text message to He Qianshan to report the situation here.
Just as she finished sending the message, someone gently patted her on the shoulder from behind.
Wu Pengpeng turned around and saw a tall and beautiful girl standing behind her. Her curved smiling eyes were especially charming.
Seeing Wu Pengpeng turn around, her smiling eyes curved even more. "Pengpeng, long time no see!"
Judging from the tone, she should be an acquaintance, but Wu Pengpeng's mind went blank.
Seeing her staring blankly, the woman's smile froze on her face.
At this time, Wu Junyu walked out from somewhere and said with a smile, "I was wondering where you went. So you came to catch up with Pengpeng."
Then he said to Wu Pengpeng, "Sorry, Pengpeng. There was something up at the company, so I'm late."
Wu Pengpeng forced a stiff smile. "Second brother."
She saw Wu Junyu put his arm around the girl's shoulder familiarly. Obviously, their relationship was special.
Wu Junyu observed her reaction carefully and said with a half - smile, "Pengpeng, this is your Sister Xiyue, Lin Xiyue. Don't you remember?"
Whether it was on purpose or not, Wu Pengpeng felt that he seemed to deliberately emphasize the words "don't remember", which made her heart sink suddenly.
Since she woke up from the hospital after being injured last time, she always felt that there was something missing in her mind.
This time when she met an old acquaintance, there was no hint in her mind. It seemed that this was the price she had to pay for an extra chance at life.
Wu Pengpeng deliberately widened her eyes and said with superb acting skills, "This is Sister Xiyue? Oh my god, Sister Xiyue, you're getting more and more beautiful. I didn't recognize you."
Lin Xiyue blushed at her praise and smiled gently. "No way. You're the one who's getting more and more beautiful, Pengpeng."
Wu Pengpeng stared at her face without blinking and said with envy in her eyes, "Sister Xiyue, what skin - care products have you been using recently? Your skin is so good."
As she said, she took Lin Xiyue's arm and walked into the room together.
The friendship between girls started so easily.
Wu Pengpeng happily shared skin - care tips with Lin Xiyue, but for some reason, she always felt as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at her in the dark, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, after dinner, Wu Pengpeng planned to take the little dumpling home, but Wu You wouldn't let them go.
Wu Pengpeng had to give up this idea for the time being. She sat in the corner, staring blankly at the TV.
Suddenly, she felt the leather sofa beside her sink a little.
She turned her head and saw Wu Junyu sitting down beside her.
Their eyes met. Wu Junyu gave her a gentle smile.
Wu Pengpeng also returned a smile, but for some reason, she felt a little flustered. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom and was about to slip away.
Just as she stood up, she heard Wu Junyu say coldly behind her, "Pengpeng, is Xinxin really your child?"
