That night, Qi Zaozao fell asleep while waiting for Pei Yifei to come back. When she woke up around eight o'clock the next day, the seat next to her was empty. Pei Yifei came back, but she didn't even know why he left. Looking around, Qi Zaozao's heart was filled with loneliness. He actually forgot!
Today was the day she was going to the hospital for a check-up. She had already told him this the day she came back from the amusement park, but he didn't take it to heart.
Qi Zaozao did not call Pei Yifei, but went to the hospital alone.
Her belly has been pregnant for five months, but she has never had an ultrasound. Qi Zao waited for about half an hour before it was her turn. She spent a lot of time in the hospital, and it was already noon when she left.
Although a little tired, Qi Zaozao had a faint smile on her face.
Qi Zao Zao wanted to give Pei Yifei a surprise, so she went to his company. She had been there before and knew that he was on the top floor. When she came here again after a few months, her mood was completely different.
"The president? He just went out—" The receptionist looked at Qi Zaozao.
"Did you say when you'll be back?"
"I have a meeting this afternoon, so I should be here."
"Okay, then I'll go upstairs and wait for him--" Qi Zao Zao said and turned to the elevator. The receptionist wanted to say something, but seeing that Qi Zao Zao had already left, she didn't say anything.
Qi went there early in the morning. The door was half-open. She pushed the door open, but was stunned at that moment. Why was Pei Ruohan here
Not only Qi Zaozao, Pei Ruohan was also surprised. They never expected her to come here.
Both of them widened their eyes, "Sister-in-law?"
"Why are you here?" Qi Zaozao didn't like Pei Ruohan in the first place, and this time she asked with a frown.
"I—" Pei Ruohan choked, "My brother and I agreed to have lunch today, so..."
lunch
Qi Zaozao felt as if something was blocking her heart and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She had already told him that she would go to the hospital for a check-up on Wednesday, but he had already made an appointment with Pei Ruohan to have lunch together!
What the hell is this
"Sister-in-law, please sit down."
"You don't have to tell me whether I should sit or not!"
Qi Zao Zao had a hot temper. Pei Ruohan frowned when she heard this. "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?"
"Why? Why are you talking to me now? I really don't know what you are thinking. You said it was fine before, but now you and Pei Yifei appear in front of me again and again. What are you thinking? Or do you feel satisfied when I quarrel with him?"
Pei Ruohan looked at Qi Zaozao seriously, "Qi Zaozao, I don't want to argue with you, and I don't want to say anything more to you. Please go. I'm still waiting for my brother to come back."
When Qi Zaozao heard this, he immediately became furious. What do you mean I don’t want to argue with you, and I don’t want to say anything more!
"Why should I leave?" Qi Zao Zao simply sat down, and laughed in anger, "Lunch? I haven't had any yet, so why are you not welcoming me?"
Pei Ruohan's brows furrowed even more, "I'm really not very welcome!"
"That's even better! I like this kind of thing the most, sister-in-law!" Qi Zao Zao emphasized the last three words. She didn't understand. They were obviously biological siblings, but they were so close. What on earth did Pei Ruohan want to do!
Pei Ruohan changed her weak attitude and sat down as well, "Although I am the sister-in-law, in my brother's heart, my position is still more important than that of the sister-in-law, isn't it?"
Qi Zao Zao looked at her suddenly. Pei Ruohan smiled sweetly, as if she had met an old friend. "Sister-in-law, you probably don't know yet, but I was on the plane when it encountered strong turbulence, and it was my brother who took care of me."
Qi Zao Zao's face froze, Pei Ruohan continued: "This has been made clear, hasn't it? Between my sister-in-law and me, I am still the most important. Even if she is my sister, she is more important than my sister-in-law. Besides, I even think that my sister-in-law can be smarter. My brother and I are brother and sister, so no matter what happens, I am still my brother's sister. But my sister-in-law is different. If you divorce my brother, you will be nothing. You will return to your previous life, so you can actually be smarter."
"You want me to please you?"
Isn’t this what Pei Ruohan meant
"I just want to tell my sister-in-law not to be so hot-tempered. It's not good for you. Besides, I don't want to quarrel with you."
In fact, Pei Ruohan's heart was still pounding. She knew what she was saying and knew it was not good to say it to Qi Zaozao, but she just couldn't help but want to say it. Moreover, she really didn't like to see Qi Zaozao's aggressive look!
It was just like the reason why Qi Zaozao didn't like Pei Ruohan pretending to be so pitiful.
"You threaten me?"
Pei Ruohan shook her head, "This shouldn't be considered a threat, right? Also, sister-in-law, you kiss and kiss other men yourself, but you are so strict with your brother and me, your sister-in-law. Isn't that too much?"
"You were the one who passed!" Qi Zao Zao paused, pursed her lips and said again: "Which eye of yours saw me kissing a man?"
"Isn't it?"
Qi Zao Zao sneered, "You are talking in a very concise way, but do you think I don't understand your little thoughts? Pei Ruohan, you think too highly of yourself. In the final analysis, you are just a clown!"
The two stood up at the same time, and Pei Ruohan counterattacked: "Who is the clown?"
“Snap—”
With a slap, Qi Zaozao slapped Pei Ruohan. Pei Ruohan opened her eyes wide, even in disbelief, and a layer of mist immediately appeared in her eyes.
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Qi Zaozao was getting more and more angry, and his facial lines were tense.
Pei Ruohan covered his face and suddenly shouted: "Brother—"
She showed that pitiful expression again and looked behind Qi Zaozao.
Qi Zaozao's body stiffened and she turned around to see Pei Yifei. Behind Pei Yifei was Xiao Li, who opened his mouth wide in shock.
As for Pei Yifei, there was a cold chill on his delicate face.
Qi Zao Zao sneered and looked away, "Are you pretending again?"
She was talking to Pei Ruohan. Pei Ruohan didn't say anything. She covered her face and lowered her eyelids. Her eyes were red.
Looks very weak and pitiful.
This highlights Qi Zao Zao's strength.
"Why aren't you talking? Weren't you speaking so well just now? Now you're mute!?"
"sorry-"
Pei Ruohan said in a low voice.
"Oh, sorry?"
"That's enough!" Pei Yifei growled, staring at Qi Zao Zao with sharp eyes, "How long do you want to continue making trouble unreasonably?"
"I'm being unreasonable?" Qi Zao Zao raised his voice, "Am I being unreasonable?!"
Pei Yifei's brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes were very cold.
Qi Zao Zao laughed, "Yeah, I am being unreasonable, so what if I am being unreasonable!!!"
"Sister-in-law, don't—"
“Shut up!”
"It's you who should shut up!" Pei Yifei's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Qi Zaozao.
The atmosphere was tense, but Qi Zaozao felt as bitter as if she had swallowed coptis.
"In your heart, what am I? Nothing, right? Pei Yifei, I have to say, you are really great!"
Pei Yifei's face darkened, but Qi Zao Zao continued to smile. It was a smile of anger, but also a somewhat bitter smile. She pointed her finger at Pei Ruohan and said, "Everything she said and did in front of you was right, and everything I did was wrong! Isn't that right?"
"Xiao Li, send her back!"
"I'm not going back, why should I go back?!"
Pei Yifei had a strong aura, and at this moment, he was icy cold without a trace of warmth. "If you continue like this—"
"What if I continue like this? Divorce. Didn't we sign a marriage agreement anyway? We will get divorced sooner or later!!!"
Pei Ruohan widened her eyes. Marriage agreement
Pei Yifei's face couldn't get any darker, but Pei Ruohan said at this time: "Brother, sister-in-law, calm down-"
"Pei Ruohan, it's not your turn to speak here!" Qi Zao Zao scolded angrily.
"sister in law."
“Get lost!”
Pei Ruohan tried to touch Qi Zaozao, but before she could touch him, Qi Zaozao waved her away and she almost fell to the ground.
Pei Yifei walked in front of Qi Zaozao, looking down at her. Then, he helped Pei Ruohan stand firmly and said something that chilled her to the bone, "The one who should leave is you, not her."
Xiao Li secretly cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
Qi Zao Zao opened her big eyes and looked at Pei Yifei. Her nose was already sour, but she suppressed it tightly and didn't let herself cry.
"Okay, this is what you said, Pei Yifei!!!"
She walked out of the office and out of his sight, but still kept her back straight.
Just stepping out of here, this building, she couldn't help but shed tears. She had never been so sad before. Her heart felt like being stabbed with a knife, but she still had her dignity. She wiped away her tears and did not allow herself to cry!
But why are my tears still falling uncontrollably? Is it my own fault
Pei Ruohan said that he was the one who took care of her when the plane crashed, but she stopped a car in the heavy rain and was even pregnant.
In his heart, she is definitely not as good as Pei Ruohan.
Today, they agreed to go to the hospital, but what was she waiting for
Have you made an appointment to have lunch together
She is such a bitch!
Qi returned to the Pei family mansion early. Except for the servants, no one else was there. She went upstairs to get her clothes and only took away a few of her own clothes.
"What's going on? Why are you here?"
Qi Zao Zao smiled bitterly, "You're not welcome?"
Shen Xiaofei was stunned. "That's not the case, it's just...what's wrong with you?"
"I'm a little tired, can you let me rest?"
"good!"
Shen Xiaofei looked at Qi Zaozao. She put down her luggage, went straight to the sofa and lay down, hugged the pillow, buried her head in it, and curled up her body.
Shen Xiaofei was very worried. It was the first time he saw Qi Zaozao like this. Could it be that the two of them had quarreled again
Let's wait until she's in a better mood.
Shen Xiaofei worked the night shift, so she took a leave to stay at home with Qi Zao Zao. She cleaned the house and then went downstairs to buy some vegetables.
When I came back, I saw Qi Zaozao staring at the balcony, his eyes fixed on her body.
"Sorry, Xiaofei, I'm disturbing you." She came back to her senses and said.
"What are you talking about? Don't you want to get some sleep?"
"I can't sleep."
Shen Xiaofei sat opposite Qi Zaozao and asked, "What happened???"
"We had a quarrel."
"Very sad?"
"kindness."
Qi Zao Zao told Shen Xiaofei everything that happened before. After hearing it, she almost went berserk, "What the hell is this? Aren't they biological siblings? Does Pei Ruohan hate to see you doing well? "
Qi Zao Zao smiled bitterly, "Who knows?"
"She's really asking for a beating. A woman like this should get lost. What the hell!"
Qi Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Forget it."
"Pei Yifei is nothing, damn it!"
"Don't mention him—" She looked at Shen Xiaofei and said, "Can I stay for two days?"
“You can stay as long as you want!”
"Thank you, Xiaofei."
Shen Xiaofei also felt sorry for Qi Zaozao. In fact, she was obviously very sad and wanted to cry, but she was holding it back. It was really heartbreaking to see her like this.
Pei family.
"I just heard from the servant that she took her luggage and went out. How is it?" Xu Yan pulled Pei Ruohan into the room and asked, with a look of joy on her face.
Pei Ruohan's eyebrows were a little worried, "Mom, is it bad to do this?"
"Don't you like your brother anymore?"
"I-"
"If you like him, don't feel bad about it. This is for your future happiness. Do you want to know? Tell me what happened today?"
Pei Ruohan pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "Mom, I heard something today."
"What's up?"
"My brother and she have an arranged marriage!"
"Marriage by agreement!?"
Pei Ruohan nodded.
Xu Yan was thinking about something, and suddenly said, "I knew it. How could a woman like her really become a phoenix? I guess your brother probably married that woman because he heard that you were going to get engaged to Lu Changsheng!"
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't Luo Huan know?"
"Know."
"Luo Huan didn't cause trouble at that time. In fact, she had caused some trouble before. When your brother just came back from the United States, I heard that he drugged her. Now think about it, the timing is just right. It has been five months now. I am afraid that your brother accidentally went to bed with Qi Zao and made her pregnant. What happened next is also easy to understand. They agreed to get married..."
"Is that so?"
Xu Yan's eyes lit up. "Isn't this good? Listen, if this is the case, you must seize the opportunity. I think the agreement will definitely become invalid after Qi Zao Zao gives birth to the baby. But your brother is a little moved by that woman now, and you can see that. What you have to do is not let them continue, understand? No matter what method you use, you have to do it! No matter what means you use!"
"mom-"
"Don't be afraid, Mom will help you! Besides, women have to be cruel. If you are not, you will suffer in the future!" Xu Yan narrowed her eyes. Isn't that right? Women have to be cruel!
Although she said she wasn't afraid, Pei Ruohan still felt uneasy and guilty.
What is my brother thinking? How does he view Qi Zaozao? How does he view her
In fact, she told Qi Zaozao that her status was more important than hers, but she was not sure in her heart, because in her recent contacts with her brother, she found that her brother's balance always involuntarily extended towards Qi Zaozao's direction.
It was a dark night, in a dark room. Pei Yifei sat on the sofa with his hands crossed on his knees, his eyes extremely deep.
It's early autumn, but it still feels very hot.
I don't know why I feel so upset.
The door suddenly opened, and Pei Yifei looked towards the door almost reflexively, "Morning—"
Even the name was shouted out radially, and the light from outside shone in, revealing Pei Ruohan's face.
Not Qi Zaozao.
Pei Ruohan also heard the word "morning". A hint of gloom flashed through her eyes, but Xu Yan's words immediately reappeared in her mind. She walked towards Pei Yifei. The door was closed. Pei Ruohan walked up to him, squatted down, and said weakly, "Brother, I'm sorry."
Pei Yifei didn't say anything.
Pei Ruohan reached out and held his hand, "Brother, it's all Ruohan's fault. If you want to blame someone, just blame me!"
"It's none of your business."
"But, brother, I feel very uncomfortable. I really feel very uncomfortable. I don't want to see you like this."
Pei Yifei stood up slowly, but Pei Ruohan suddenly hugged Pei Yifei, buried her head in his arms, and hugged him tightly, "Brother, can we go back to the past? Back to our previous life—"
Pei Yifei pursed his lips and pulled Pei Ruohan's hand away, "I'm a little tired, you go out first."
Is this a rejection
Pei Ruohan suddenly became nervous, refusing to let go, and shook her head desperately, "Brother, do you hate me?"
"Yeah?"
In the darkness, it was impossible to tell what Pei Yifei was thinking.
Seeing that Pei Yifei didn't say anything, Pei Ruohan raised her tearful face. She tried to touch his face with her hand, but Pei Yifei subconsciously dodged.
"You are tired too, go back to your room, I will go back to the apartment tomorrow--" Before he could finish his words, Pei Ruohan put her lips close to Pei Yifei and wanted to kiss him, but was suddenly pushed away by Pei Yifei.
Pei Ruohan's body froze.
Pei Yifei rubbed his eyebrows and walked straight into the bedroom.
Pei Ruohan stood there motionless.
what to do
what to do
Could it be that my brother has really already—
It has been a few days since she left Pei's house. During these three days, Qi Zaozao's phone has been turned off. She lives in Shen Xiaofei's house and goes to work as usual, but most of the time, she doesn't speak.
After returning from get off work, she took out the key Xiaofei gave her, opened the door, and was about to change into slippers, but when she saw the clothes on the floor and the noise coming from the bedroom, she quickly understood, stepped out, and went to the street.
Although she lived in Xiaofei's house, Qi knew early on that Xiaofei had a boyfriend and that it was time for her to find a place to live.
Thinking of the place where she lived before, Qi Zaozao paid rent to Sister Liu for the first two months when she lived with Pei Yifei. She wanted to keep the house in case she had no place to live when the time came, and the rent was not expensive. However, she has not paid since last month, and she doesn't know if the house has been rented out.
Come to think of it, she, the so-called young lady of a wealthy family, is nothing more than this. Without Pei Yifei, she is reduced to her original form. What Pei Ruohan said is really right. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Qi Zaozao's lips.
From the beginning to now, it was all her own fault. Pei Ruohan was his favorite, and she should have understood it earlier, but sometimes it was too beautiful and she forgot the reality. (To be continued)
