"Children still need their mothers, just like Sui Sui. No one taught her how to be a girl when she was little, so she was always naughty and mischievous like a boy. She didn't like playing with dolls, but robots and car models."

Jiang Tingxia laughed again, "Why should we teach her how to be a girl? Who says girls have to be well-behaved and sensible, can't be naughty, and can only play with dolls? Children have their own nature, there's no need to discipline them specifically."

An Qing sneered inwardly and continued, "Anyway, I felt sorry for her because she didn't have a mother, so I often went to play with her, bought her toys, told her stories, and put her to sleep. She relied on me a lot and asked me to accompany her every now and then."

As she spoke, she secretly observed Jiang Tingxia's expression.

"Really?" Jiang Tingxia remained calm. "If she's so dependent on you, why haven't you become her stepmother yet?"

"..." An Qing choked, feeling a little embarrassed, but she smiled, "That's because Yan Zhou was too deeply in love with his ex-wife and couldn't forget her, so I didn't force him. Plus, I've been abroad for several years. If I knew he had let go of his ex-wife, maybe I should have come back earlier."

Jiang Tingxia knew what she wanted to say. If she had come back earlier, there would be no need for her "new love".

"Yes, if you had come back earlier..." Jiang Tingxia's smile widened, "He would still look down on you."

"You——" An Qing was suddenly choked with anger.

But thinking of her own plan, she could only endure it temporarily and put on a fake smile, "Yes, maybe there is a lack of fate between him and me. However, I know how deep Yan Zhou's feelings for his ex-wife are. Even if someone is lucky enough to stay with him now, it may not last long."

"So, I need your advice, sister." Jiang Tingxia took her arm and smiled at her innocently and brightly.

This "sister" sounds strangely sarcastic.

An Qing gritted her teeth and decided to teach her a lesson later!

She is still a little naive if she wants to snatch Pei Yanzhou away from her!

After entering the lounge, Jiang Tingxia first looked around, then smiled and sat down on the sofa with An Qing, pestering her, "Sister, how much do you know about the Pei family? Tell me everything, I will definitely thank you very much."

"No problem, but I'm a little thirsty. I'll ask the waiter to bring something to drink. What would you like to drink?"

"I do not need."

"We still have a lot to talk about. I'll drink champagne, why don't you drink the same as me?"

Jiang Tingxia nodded, "Okay then."

An Qing walked to the door of the lounge, called the waiter over, took two glasses of champagne from him, and handed one of them to Jiang Tingxia.

Jiang Tingxia took it and said, "Thank you, sister."

It's really annoying to hear you call me sister all the time!

An Qing gritted her teeth secretly, raised her champagne and said with a smile: "Come on, let's have a drink first. It's fate that we have the opportunity to meet."

"Okay, cheers." Jiang Tingxia raised her glass and was about to toast with her when she suddenly seemed to see something. She widened her eyes and said, "Oh, sister, why is the back of your skirt dirty? Where did you rub it? Let me help you wipe it!"

"What?" An Qing was stunned. Her skirt was dirty, but she didn't even notice it!

"Come on, turn around and I'll wipe it for you."

Jiang Tingxia put down the champagne and the glass in her hand, then asked her to turn around, took out a tissue from her small bag, and carefully wiped her back.

After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's clean."

An Qing turned around and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Tingxia picked up the champagne again and handed An Qing her glass. "Cheers!"

The two clinked their glasses.

Seeing Jiang Tingxia drink half a cup in one breath, an obscure light flashed in An Qing's eyes.

While drinking champagne, she talked to Jiang Tingxia about the Pei family, and Jiang Tingxia learned a lot.

Not only did she learn some interesting stories about Sui Sui's childhood, but she also learned from her that Xiao Xing had been very withdrawn since childhood and almost never communicated with others. Every time she went to Pei's house, Xiao Xing would turn around and walk away when he saw her, going into his room. No matter how she coaxed him, he would not come out.

Moreover, he always looked at her with dark and cold eyes, not like a child at all, but like some cold-blooded animal, which made her shudder.

Outside the lounge, Pei Yanzhou put aside his pride and comforted Jiang Suisui, but was scolded by Mr. and Mrs. Pei, who loved their granddaughter.

Especially Mrs. Pei, she said angrily: "A Yan, you actually treated Sui Sui harshly for that woman. Do you think it's right? Sui Sui is your own daughter. Who is that woman? She's just a substitute. Is it necessary to care so much about her?"

Jiang Suisui had someone to back her up, so she felt confident and raised her chin towards Pei Yanzhou, "That's right! Dad, just tell me, who is more important to you, her or me?"

Pei Yanzhou didn't hesitate, "She."

In his mind, Jiang Tingxia is ranked first, and everyone else has to stand behind.

"What?!" Old Mrs. Pei was incredulous. "Ayan, it's just a joke. You're not taking it seriously, are you?"

"I'm serious." Pei Yanzhou said, and then looked at Jiang Suisui, "Suisui, she is your mother. She was, is, and will be in the future. Don't bother her anymore."

Jiang Suisui stamped his feet and said, "Dad, you are really possessed!"

Old Mrs. Pei also wanted to say something, but Pei Yanzhou was no longer in the mood to listen and was looking around for Jiang Tingxia.

However, when I looked around, I didn't see her.

At this time, the banquet finally officially began.

The old man of the An family took the stage first to speak and introduce his granddaughter to the guests. When he was about to ask her to come up, he found that she was not there.

Mr. An could only step down and ask the servants, "Where is the eldest lady?"

"No...don't know."

The guests were all waiting for An Qing to show up; after all, she was the star of the evening. One of the women stepped out of the crowd and said to the old man, "Old man, An Qing just said she was going to the lounge to touch up her makeup. She should still be there, right?"

An Qing had told her before to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the guests to the lounge, although she didn't know why.

Mr. An recognized her as An Qing's friend, nodded, and said to the servant, "Hurry up and call the eldest lady out, everyone is waiting for her!"

"Yes." The servant hurried to the lounge, opened the door, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah!"

Seeing the servant's look of astonishment, Mr. An realized that something was wrong, "What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?"

As he spoke, he walked towards the lounge. The guests followed him curiously and gathered around. When they saw the scene in the lounge, everyone was shocked!
