Chapter 419: 419 The Cruelty of Equality

Chapter 419

"That's fine, you take your time thinking about it. Pei Shuangshuang is going to be in the hospital for a few days anyway, so there's no rush," Wang Yue said, understanding Pei Yong well. She knew he hadn't refused yet, so this matter already had an 80 percent chance of happening.

In fact, from Pei Yong's perspective, his thoughts were the same as Wang Yue's. It would be better to get out of town and avoid the limelight than to stick around here miserably.

Plus, with what had happened with his sister-in-law's family hating them to death now, he'd heard that it had even affected Xiang Xiang at the Cultural Work Troupe. She was originally up for a promotion but it got suppressed because of this.

And the kids were being pointed at in school too. Just the other day, PingAn and Little Sixth had gotten into a fight with some kids over it.

Even though they weren't helping Pei Shuangshuang, when people pointed and said things like, "Look, that's her auntie, drawing naked pictures of men, shameless, for shame," even PingAn, who disliked Pei Shuangshuang a lot, would still feel bad hearing talk like that.

Observing Pei Yong's expression, Wang Yue tried again when she saw he was seriously considering it. "The child is just too spoiled and naive. She hasn't experienced much in life and thinks too simply of people. As parents, we'd worry if she was sent somewhere unfamiliar and couldn't deal with other people. I think the place Pei Meng is at wouldn't be bad. Sure, the conditions are a bit lacking, but it's far away so news of things here might not reach there. And Little Third has been there for many years already, he knows all the friends and comrades, so with Pei Meng and his wife there too, Shuangshuang would have people to look after her if she went."

Previously she had been worried about offending Little Second's family over this, yet she still dared suggest sending Shuangshuang to stay with Pei Meng. If Shuangshuang really went, even if they didn't curse her it would be getting off lightly.

Considering how his younger sister and sister-in-law had been looking at him lately, Pei Yong already felt ashamed enough. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

"Don't even think of such nice things. It'll be good enough if Mengmeng and Xiangxiang don't hate her, don't go expecting them to take care of her too." Pei Yong rejected it directly, "Since it's to avoid drawing attention for now, I'll arrange a remote place for you. You should know in your heart to keep a low profile when outside, cause less trouble, and trouble will naturally not come finding you."

...

What Pei Jianguo said was probably right, but back then, leaving PingAn really had been the only thing she could do. And now that she had succeeded and made a name for herself, she was completely capable of giving PingAn an even better life and education than Pei Yong could.

She believed Pei Yong's love for PingAn was no less than hers, but in the end she was still PingAn's mother while Pei Yong was only his grandfather.

In response to Guo Momo's not-a-compliment compliment, Pei Jianguo tugged at the corner of his lips. "Still not as good as you though. I looked down on you too much before, Guo Momo. You're very capable and outstanding."

"It really is rare to hear words of praise from your mouth." After all, their previous few meetings had been full of nasty words and complaints.

"I sincerely want what's best for PingAn, so I hope you'll withdraw the lawsuit and let PingAn live happily with my dad," Pei Jianguo said, understanding the purpose of his visit today. If they really went to court, he might not necessarily win, since whether it was background or anything else, Guo Momo was no worse off than him now.

His only advantage probably lay in PingAn himself. The child was very determined that he wanted to live with his grandfather and didn't want either parent.

"And you previously contacted Liu Chunhua, so you should have heard from her that I don't plan on having any more children. So PingAn will also be my one and only child."

Guo Momo said sarcastically, "You really are as cruelly impartial as always to every wife you've had."

That was the only phrase she could use to describe Pei Jianguo.

Pei Jianguo didn't deny it. Perhaps he was no good, but with Liu Chunhua, he had given her the right to choose more than once, and she had been willing.

"The rest doesn't matter, but I can't give up on PingAn. Pei Jianguo, you also know that you won't win if we go to court, so why not be more decisive about it and minimize disputes between us. At least then when you want to see your child in the future, we can still sit down peacefully instead of tearing our faces."
