After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Zhao Zhao and Pei Hansheng met abroad, and Pei Hansheng showed her Qiao Wan's photo the first time they met.

Tell her clearly that you have a married husband.

In overseas Chinese communities, every man who has any connection with the powerful and famous is a womanizer and promiscuous.

Men can't live without women. In a foreign land, without a steady partner, it's inevitable to feel lonely and have long, hard nights.

Pei Hansheng was no exception; he was with Jiang Chunzhi by his side. But this couple only existed in people's mouths, with cliché stories of first love, white moonlight, and long-awaited reunion.

Before getting close to Pei Hansheng, Zhao Zhao had secretly observed him for half a year.

There's nothing between them; they're just ordinary friends meeting up for meals. They never spend time alone together; there's always a third person present.

Jiang Chunzhi went to great lengths to get close to Pei Hansheng, interfering in his business at every opportunity, and even selling her body to obtain resources.

As a result, the man didn't need her kind of devotion at all; it only made him feel pressured and embarrassed.

Zhao Zhao despised Jiang Chunzhi's behavior, and it was no surprise that she ended up like this.

She completely believed in her own way, pretending to be innocent and weak. When a woman takes this to the extreme, she pleases men and evokes their sympathy and affection. That's what it means to please oneself, and men like that too.

Therefore, she never went against Qiao Wan, and even showed obedience and tolerance in front of Pei Hansheng.

But now, Qiao Wan's departure has ignited Pei Hansheng's desire to conquer and his sense of novelty.

Then she should change her playing style.

"Hansheng, speaking of perfume, I have something important to say, and I hope you can help me with it."

Pei Hansheng casually glanced at Zhaozhao: "Speak."

"Could you help me find a job? I can't keep being supported at home. I need to learn to be independent and prepare for the future when you abandon me."

Pei Hansheng smiled.

Zhao Zhao is a clever woman; she had already figured out his intentions before he even spoke.

He did indeed intend to have Zhaozhao leave, following Qiao Wan's suggestion to send her abroad, anywhere would be fine.

"What can you do?"

Zhao Zhao raised her chin, exuding arrogance: "You're underestimating me far too much. Do you think I'm just a useless piece of trash?"

Pei Hansheng narrowed his eyes, Qiao Wan's image flashing through his mind, somewhat overlapping with the woman in front of him.

It was only after spending more time with them that I realized they had completely different personalities, much like the difference between an authentic work and a fake.

He lowered his eyes, adjusted the expensive watch on his wrist, and said in a calm tone, "My perfume company in Australia happens to be short of a sales manager. You can bring your child over. I'll arrange the immigration procedures and housing. Since you're being sent by me, your salary will naturally be quite high."

"Australia?" Zhao Zhao pleaded earnestly, "Do you really have to send me away? The children's biological father and their families are all in Beijing. I want to take them back to their ancestral home in the future, as a way of making amends."

"If you don't want to leave, that's fine too." Pei Han calmly stated his conditions, his tone carrying a hidden warning: "From now on, you are not allowed to appear wherever Qiao Wan and the child are. Stay where you are and don't overstep the boundaries."

Zhao Zhao clenched her fist: "Han Sheng, I've reflected on it. I did something wrong these past few times. I shouldn't have disturbed your and Qiao Wan's lives. I promise I will never provoke her again."

Pei Hansheng pondered for a moment: "Ju Cai has a makeup project. You can work as a marketing specialist. It's a three-month internship. Whether you can become a full-time employee depends on your abilities. I won't help you with anything."

Zhao Zhao's eyes shone brightly: "Han Sheng, thank you. I will definitely seize this opportunity."

Pei Hansheng lowered his eyes, rubbed his temples, and didn't continue speaking.

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Zhao Zhao picked up her bag and got up to leave.

She turned around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she is allowed to stay in the capital, she can endure any hardship or neglect, because she will eventually have a chance to turn things around.

……

Qiao Wan took a nap, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside the window. She sat up, but the lights in the ward were off, and her thoughts drifted away.

She was on the South China Sea island this morning, but she's been sleeping in her son's hospital bed lately. She's exhausted and feels like she hasn't had enough sleep.

Qiao Wan sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. The lazy, dim light shone on her small face, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"Xiao Wan, I made you dinner. Take good care of yourself."

Aunt Liu ladled out a bowl of soup and handed it to Qiao Wan. Qiao Wan took it, her palms warm.

"Where's Xiaobao?"

"Xiao Bao woke up a long time ago. After eating, he played outside with Pei Shao. A few relatives came over, and Xiao Bao is having a great time."

"relative?"

Qiao Wan instinctively became alert and wanted to go out and check.

Aunt Liu held him down.

"Young Master Pei said to make sure you finish the soup. It contains red ginseng, which is good for replenishing qi and blood."

While drinking, Qiao Wan asked, "What kind of relatives are they? Visiting Xiao Bao?"

"There were two men, with their wives. One was older than Pei Shao, around forty years old, and the other was about the same age as Pei Shao. They would come to the old house every Chinese New Year."

Qiao Wan knew who it was as soon as she heard it.

Pei Pengcheng and Pei Xu are cousins ​​of Pei Shao. On the surface, they are a harmonious family, but behind the scenes, they fight tooth and nail over interests.

Qiao Wan, thinking of Xiao Bao, left the ward.

They were in the sofa area of ​​the lobby. Xiao Bao sat on Pei Hansheng's lap, playing with the man's watch as a toy, bumping and knocking it over, dropping it to the ground several times.

That watch was enough to buy a luxury mansion in downtown Beijing. The man chatted casually with his guests, then bent down to pick it up for Xiaobao, not giving it a second thought.

"We heard that your sister-in-law is pregnant, so we came to see her. We didn't expect the baby to be so big already. Han Sheng, you've kept the successor of our Pei Group very well hidden."

The speaker was Pei Xu, the eldest son of the Pei family. However, because his mother was not favored by the old man, he was left in his hometown until Pei Hansheng successfully took over the family business and was then allowed to enter the company, where he was given unimportant jobs.

Pei Pengcheng and Pei Xu share the same father; he was born to Pei Pengcheng's second wife. The old man liked him quite a bit, but he never considered having him replace Pei Hansheng.

Although the two were not favored, they endured humiliation and hardship, married and had children, and assisted Pei Hansheng in managing the Pei family business. They made the right choices at every step.

On the other hand, Pei Hansheng married Qiao Wan, a wife who was not only no help but also a burden. The two brothers didn't say it, but they were secretly pleased with themselves, thinking that they had won the game.

Pei Xu's wife was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. She spoke and acted with a superior air of scrutiny. She looked at Qiao Wan and asked, "Sister-in-law, when did you get pregnant? I've never heard you mention it before."

Qiao Wan knew they were there to see her make a fool of herself. She was pregnant and had a miscarriage, and these people were just hoping that Pei Hansheng would have no successor, so that they would have one less competitor.

She looked at Pei Hansheng, whose face was sullen as he looked down at Xiaobao playing.

He must have felt embarrassed, these people showed no consideration for human feelings and only wanted to expose his shortcomings.

At this point, she shouldn't undermine him, but rather stand by his side.

Qiao Wan glanced at the four people opposite her, neither humble nor arrogant: "We were preparing for pregnancy before Pei Hansheng went abroad, and that's when we got our baby."

Pei Pengcheng's wife also came from a merchant family, engaged in export trade, and her family was also quite well-off.

Her gaze towards Qiao Wan was ambiguous: "You gave birth to a son, the Pei family has an heir now, won't your in-laws treat you like a goddess?"

The Pei Pengcheng and Pei Xu families have five children, all little princesses. The two women are almost forty, and one is pregnant with another, still trying for a son.

"Qiao Wan, come here." Pei Hansheng beckoned to Qiao Wan with his finger, and then told someone to take Xiao Bao back to the ward to play.

He's a man, capable of standing on his own, and doesn't need a woman to stand up for him.

Qiao Wan sat down, and he put his arm around her waist, gently massaging it.

"Our son is naughty and willful, so Qiao Wan and I still prefer our daughter."

Pei Pengcheng couldn't stand his smugness and directly called him out:

"But I heard that you already have a son and a daughter, and even arranged for the mother of those twins to work in the company."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wan glanced at the man. He didn't react much, so it must be true.

She suddenly felt like a clown.

Everyone knew of Zhao Zhao's existence, and she was still trying her best to play the role of a quiet and sensible first wife, acting along with him.
