Noticing the ambiguous looks in her grandmother's and Aunt Liu's eyes, Jiang Heshu's cheeks turned red and she was extremely ashamed.
When did Pei Sui'an learn to pretend to be asleep? It was so lifelike that neither she nor Pei Yan noticed it.
Fortunately, Pei Yan is more honest in front of his daughter. If they did anything, according to Pei Sui'an's character, she would definitely...
Pei Sui'an blinked his big black and white eyes and looked at Jiang Heshu doubtfully, as if to say: Mom, why are you covering my mouth?
Looking at her childish and ignorant face, Jiang Heshu found that he couldn't even get angry.
He sighed inwardly and rubbed Pei Sui'an's little head as if to vent his anger.
Pei Sui'an thought Jiang Heshu was playing with her and chuckled.
Jiang Heshu had nothing to do with her, and carried Pei Sui'an back to the room despite the teasing looks of her grandmother and Aunt Liu.
She knelt down and said seriously: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about your parents, you know?"
"If you don't obey, mommy will tell daddy to spank Suisui's little butt."
Hearing this, Pei Sui'an remembered the previous spanking. Her face was horrified, her fleshy little hands were protecting her buttocks, and tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.
Seeing that she was so frightened that she was about to cry, all Jiang Heshu's thoughts disappeared, leaving only his heartache, and he held her in his arms and comforted her.
After a while, Pei Sui'an was no longer afraid, resurrected with full health, and ran to the living room to play with toys.
Looking at her back, Jiang Heshu sighed again.
It's too difficult to educate children. Let Pei Yan do it in the future.
…
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
Jiang Heshu had already finalized the contract with the editor, printed out the contract, signed it, and sent it to the comic platform.
From this day on, she officially became a full-time cartoonist.
Yao Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful, "If you were still in City C, you would definitely have a drink to celebrate the big day of signing the contract!"
Jiang Heshu smiled and said, "Signing the contract is just the beginning. When we make money, we will celebrate."
Yao Xiaoxiao thought about it, and she said: "You draw well, and I write well, so that the book will become a hit and become a rich woman."
"Okay." Jiang Heshu smiled and nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Heshu glanced at the inconspicuous man and woman hidden in the crowd. She held Pei Sui'an's little hand and walked towards the nearby shopping mall.
Those two people were bodyguards hired by Pei Yan for her. They were not as eye-catching as before, which could better protect their safety.
When she walked into the mall, Pei Yue was already there, carrying the three cups of milk tea she had just bought.
Pei Yue saw Jiang Heshu's snow-white skirt and felt it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
But then she thought about it, she had seen almost all the seasonal styles from various stores, and it was normal for her to think they were familiar.
Therefore, Pei Yue stopped worrying and gave the milk tea to Jiang Heshu and Pei Sui'an, and the three of them walked upstairs while chatting.
Jiang Heshu had agreed to treat Pei Yue to a meal as a thank you gift.
Pei Yue was not polite. Yesterday, she asked Jiang Heshu if she was free today. If she was free, he would go shopping with her and have a meal together at noon.
Jiang Heshu agreed.
They first went to the children's clothing area on the second floor and walked around. Their hands were filled with shopping bags.
Jiang Heshu was a little helpless, "I agreed that I would treat you to dinner, but let you spend so much money..."
Half of these were bought by Pei Yue for Pei Sui'an.
Pei Yue waved her hand, "I am Suisui's aunt, isn't it normal to buy things for my niece?"
After saying that, she pulled Jiang Heshu to the men's clothing area next to it.
Jiang Heshu saw her picking it up with great interest and asking for her opinion from time to time, and suddenly remembered what Grandma Pei said before.
She said that Pei Yue had also raised a man for several years.
Just as she was thinking about it, Pei Yue looked at her with a suit in hand.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this? Is it suitable for boys who have just entered the workplace?"
Jiang Heshu suppressed those emotions and looked carefully for a few seconds. She often bought clothes for Gu Jing before and could give some reasonable suggestions.
Finally, with Jiang Heshu's reference, Pei Yue bought an expensive, young yet formal men's suit.
Pei Yue liked it more and more and ran to check out.
Jiang Heshu took a casual look around the store, and finally his eyes fell on the white short shirt on the mannequin.
The style is not as rigid as formal wear, the design is simple and creative, and the V-neck just happens to reveal the clavicle line.
Pei Yan's collarbone is very beautiful...
Jiang Heshu coughed lightly.
The shopping guide here was very discerning and immediately said: "Madam, this is the new model that just arrived last night. It has a novel design and is very suitable for men in their twenties..."
Pei Sui'an lowered his head and clasped his fingers and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Dad is thirty years old."
The shopping guide swallowed back the rest of his words and smiled awkwardly, "I saw that the lady was only in her early twenties, so I thought..."
Jiang Heshu understood that the shopping guide must not have expected that her husband was a thirty-year-old man.
She couldn't help but feel a little funny when she used the word "old man" to describe Pei Yan.
Jiang Heshu smiled politely at the shopping guide, "Can you take it off and let me see it?"
The shopping guide nodded, and before going to pick up the clothes, she added: "This dress is suitable for men aged 18 to 45. I made a mistake just now."
In fact, Jiang Heshu didn't care about this.
When the shopping guide brought it back, Jiang Heshu touched it. The fabric was very good, silky, soft and not easy to wrinkle. The pattern looked good up close.
Although the price is on the expensive side, compared with the clothes Pei Yan bought for himself before, this price is simply not worth mentioning.
but……
Jiang Heshu didn't know what size clothes Pei Yan wore.
She was about to call Pei Yan to ask, but Pei Yue stopped her, "Don't ask, I'll ask Grandma."
"When you buy clothes for Brother Yan for the first time, you can't let him know in advance. You have to keep it secret and give him a surprise."
After saying that, Pei Yue called the phone and made an excuse saying that she wanted to buy Pei Yan some clothes and asked his size.
After getting the size, Jiang Heshu asked the shopping guide to wrap one piece.
At this moment, a sighing voice came from behind.
"As a wife, I don't even know the size of Brother Pei's clothes."
"I've long heard that she used some despicable means to get to the top. Brother Pei doesn't like her at all. It's normal not to know."
"I just said that Brother Pei would not like this kind of woman who has no family background, no ability, and is still married for the second time."
"Tsk, so what if I get the upper hand? I don't know Brother Pei at all. I don't even know that Brother Pei doesn't wear these brand-name clothes."
"Yes! What is Brother Pei's identity? How could he wear such a cheap thing that costs thousands of dollars? Brother Pei's tie is even more expensive than this."
"I don't know how she has the nerve to appear here. It's really embarrassing."
They made no secret of their contempt and disdain for Jiang Heshu.
Before Jiang Heshu could speak, Pei Yue looked angrily in the direction of the voice and said angrily: "Yang Muqing, what are you talking about?"
Not only did Yang Muqing not feel guilty, she also said confidently: "What is nonsense? What we say is the truth."
What they said was true, and they really looked down on Jiang Heshu.
Jiang Heshu looked up when she was speaking.
The first thing I noticed was Lin Ya standing in the middle.
Lin Ya was thinner than last time, her face was pale, and her eyes were slightly swollen. It was obvious that her brother's sudden death had a great impact on her.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Heshu saw hatred in Lin Ya's eyes.
Jiang Heshu's expression paused slightly, but Lin Ya looked away the next second.
Lin Ya may know something...
But it's normal, after all, she is Lin Run's biological sister.
But hate her?
That's a little too ridiculous.
She didn't ask Lin Run to join forces with Chu Yu to kidnap her.
Jiang Heshu looked at the four girls beside Lin Ya, two of whom she had seen before, and the other two were unfamiliar faces.
And the Yang Muqing Pei Yue mentioned was one of the new faces.
Seeing Jiang Heshu looking at them, Yang Muqing was not timid at all. She held her head high and her face full of arrogance.
"What are you looking at? You've never seen anyone? A hopeless and ignorant country bumpkin."
