The eyes of the girl next to her were full of exploration and trouble, and she didn't hide it at all.

Pei Yi felt it instantly.

"Doctor Xu, what are you looking at?"

Xu Xian was shocked when she heard the sound, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face. Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"Just in the car—"

"It's all fake, the crying is fake, and the tears are fake."

Pei Yi looked calm and calm, and directly admitted the fact that she faked crying.

Living under the love of her family and the appreciation of the outside world since she was a child, she has already learned to use various methods to gain attention and gain benefits.

Tears were just one of the methods for her.

With such a straightforward answer, Xu Xian's lips pursed even tighter.

She turned her head away and quickly looked away from those red eyes.

Pei Yi obviously didn't notice this small anomaly.

The days of getting along with her have already made her give all her trust in Xu Xian.

"If she doesn't cry with red eyes, how can she feel sorry for me? How can she believe what I say?"

Naturally, the tone of voice sounded very natural.

It's like, she's used to doing this kind of thing.

I am used to using tears, my own vulnerability, and the compassion of others to achieve my goals.

Xu Xian lowered her eyes and said "um", and closed her lips again.

At this moment, she really wanted to know—

At the beginning, did Pei Yi also hold this mentality and approached him step by step in the trick of showing weakness.

For the next part of the road, the two did not speak again.

Although they were silent all the way, the clasped fingers showed the intimacy of the relationship.

Entering the hospital lobby, there is a large floor-to-ceiling mirror at the corner of the first floor.

The two walked past the mirror, and when Pei Yifu raised his eyes, he happened to see two tightly held hands reflected in the mirror, and sighed subconsciously.

"It's really like a couple."

"No wonder even he has no doubts."

The voice was small, but Xu Xian still heard it.

Unfortunately, when she looked up, the mirror was far behind.

She didn't see anything until the voice in her ears disappeared.

Obviously, Pei Yi didn't take what she said to heart at all.

Only she, Xu Xian, was easily confused.

Zhou Ruhong's office is at the end of the third floor.

As he was about to approach, there was a faint mist of water in Pei Yi's eyes.

Xu Xian lowered her head slightly and saw a pair of wet red eyes, her brows wrinkled in an instant.

The two quickly came to the office.

Pei Yi half-drooped her eyes, her cheeks were covered with a bleak pallor, and she looked very sad.

Xu Xian's eyes flashed a melancholy look, her fingertips moved slightly, then she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

In less than three seconds, the office door was opened.

Zhou Ruhong was wearing a white coat, and her face changed immediately when she saw the crying niece with red and swollen eyes.

"Xiaoyi?"

When Pei Yi heard the call, tears immediately flowed out.

She let go of Xu Xian's hand, and threw herself into her aunt's arms, crying softly.

Zhou Ruhong's eyes were full of confusion, so she could only turn her eyes to Xu Xian who was beside her.

"what happened?"

Xu Xian shook her head and replied in a low voice, her words were full of worry.

"She won't say it, it seems to be a family matter."

"Doctor Zhou, let's go in and talk."

Zhou Ruhong nodded, supported her niece's arm and led the person into the room, and then the door of the room was closed.

Xu Xian sat alone on a stool in the corridor and waited.

Even if she didn't go in, she could guess what was going to happen inside.

Pei Yi is good at camouflage. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately broke free from her aunt's support. Then she slowly walked to the window with red eyes, turned around and raised her arm, and touched the corner of her eye with her fingers.

Looking from the back, it was like wiping tears.

The performance is so superb that Zhou Ruhong has no doubts at all.

Seeing her niece cry like this in front of her, she couldn't bear it.

"Crying like this, what happened?"

"Xu Xian said it was a family matter. Could it be that your parents quarreled?"

"But didn't your mother go to your elder brother's place recently?"

It's still peaceful words of love, but Pei Yi's heart is no longer as warm as it used to be.

She remembered the indifferent and expelling words Zhou Ruhong had said to Ning Rou in the alley that night, and in an instant, a chill filled her heart.

In fact, compared with Zhou Ruguang, how much better is Zhou Ruhong's actions?

Pei Yi shook his head, his head dropped lower, and tears poured down his eyes one by one, drop by drop, all falling on the back of his hand.

Zhou Ruhong looked distressed, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

It can be seen that she really loves her niece.

"Since you came to see aunt, you just want to tell aunt about family affairs, right?"

"Why don't you talk now?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Ruhong sighed, then reached out her hand and stroked her niece's back lightly.

Hearing her words, Pei Yi finally had some reaction.

She raised her head, revealing a pair of red eyes, but just a slight glance out was enough to arouse all the love in Zhou Ruhong's heart.

"Auntie, I'm sorry."

The first sentence he spoke was an apology.

Hearing Zhou Ruhong, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"You stupid child, what are you apologizing to your aunt?"

"Tell aunt what happened, why are you crying like this?"

Pei Yi wept in a low voice, her body trembling with the movement of crying, looking very pitiful.

"Aunt, I'll just tell you about this. You promise me, you won't tell your mother, okay?"

Can't tell Pei Xuan?

Zhou Ruhong's expression changed slightly, and she vaguely realized what Pei Yi was about to say.

She nodded, her voice still soft.

"I promise, I won't tell your mother."

Pei Yi nodded, tears finally stopped at this moment.

"Aunt, I found out that Dad he-he cheated."

"What should I do? Auntie, I'm so scared. If my mother finds out, my mother will never forgive my father."

"I don't want to see them divorce, I don't want our family to fall apart like this."

"Mom is so good, why does Dad still look for another woman? Why does he do something wrong to Mom?"

As Pei Yi spoke, her eyes turned red again.

Zhou Ruhong frowned, unable to believe what she heard.

In her impression, Zhou Ruguang is not someone who is greedy for beauty.

The only thing he cared about was his medical career.

Without Pei Xuan, he would not have the success he is today.

He has no reason to go outside to find other women.

Unless, that woman has more wealth than Pei's family, and can take his career to a higher level.

This kind of thing would have happened thirty years ago.

Now, how could it be?

Zhou Ruhong shook her head, her tone very firm.

"impossible."

"How could your father cheat?"

"His mind is on his career, how can he find time to find a woman?"

"You are his daughter. You can't possibly not know how busy he is usually."

"I think maybe you misunderstood him."

Pei Yi had long expected that Zhou Ruhong would speak for Zhou Ruguang, but she still had a sad look on her face.

"Aunt, if I'm not sure that Dad has another woman, why would I come to you?"

"Trust me, Dad really betrayed Mom."

Zhou Ruhong couldn't help but shake when she heard these words.

"So, you have evidence of your father's derailment in your hand?"

Pei Yi just waited for Zhou Ruhong to ask this sentence.

Without thinking, she nodded.

"Aunt, I told you about this, don't be afraid."

"Dad, he not only cheated, but he also kept that woman at home."

"There's a wheelchair in the utility room at home, and as you know, no one in our family needs to use that."

"Second brother said that this wheelchair has been in the house for many years. A few days ago, I accompanied my mother to the eldest brother's place. The second brother returned to the company and lived in the company. Dad was the only one left at home. When I got home, the uncle the housekeeper secretly told me Me, the wheelchair in the utility room was moved."

"My mother also told me that sometimes my father stays at home all day, but other women's hair appears on his body for no reason. If he didn't raise people at home, how could these things happen?"

"Also, Ah Xian also said that Dad often gets medicines from the hospital's pharmacy. No one in the family is sick. No one can use those medicines. Who is it for?"

"Auntie, I don't want to believe that my father cheated, but my father has been so weird recently."

"I haven't told my mother about this. I'm afraid she will be sad. Auntie, don't tell my mother, okay?"

Every word of Pei Yi's words is very real, and it doesn't seem to be chasing shadows at all.

As Zhou Ruguang's younger sister, Zhou Ruhong knew all too well that her brother, there was only one woman she could really like in her life, and that was Ning Chun.

His marriage to Pei Xuan was purely for profit.

If what Pei Yi said was true, then the woman who was hidden in Pei's house by Zhou Ruguang was probably Ning Chun.

This also means that Zhou Ruguang deceived him.

The surgery was not a failure at all.

And Ning Chun didn't die either.

Zhou Ruhong's face changed greatly, her cheeks were as pale as death.

It wasn't until Pei Yi's voice sounded in her ear that she regained her senses.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

"Your face is ugly, do you want to go out and get some air?"

Pei Yi's mood has calmed down a lot at this time.

She knew that the move Luo Zhen taught her was a success.

***

Pei Yi's words left a lot of influence on Zhou Ruhong.

Whether Ning Chun was still alive or not, and whether the operation had failed back then, all these matters must be re-investigated.

This evening, it was another family dinner for the Pei family once a week.

Although Pei Xuan was not there, Pei Li, the second young master, sent invitations to Xu Xian and Zhou Ruhong respectively and invited them to dinner at home.

Zhou Ruhong hadn't asked Zhou Ruguang about Ning Chun.

When she thought that Ning Chun might also be here, her expression became unnatural.

In fact, she had already been to Pei's house yesterday afternoon.

Taking advantage of Zhou Ruguang's work in the hospital, she quietly went to the utility room to rummage. As Pei Yi said, there was a large cardboard box in the corner of the utility room. The box contained a wheelchair.

She had to believe what Pei Yi said.

She came here tonight because she wanted to test Zhou Ruguang in person.

After eating, Zhou Ruguang sat for a while in the living room on the first floor.

He first asked Xu Xian about the progress of the experiment, and when he learned that the results had not been obtained, his expression immediately became disappointed, and then he said the two words he liked the most.

"Do well, don't let the teacher down."

"Everyone knows that you are the teacher's favorite student, and the teacher has high expectations for you."

If the word 'teacher' was changed to 'father', Pei Yi could hardly tell whether the words were addressed to Xu Xian or to herself.

Xu Xian frowned slightly and looked very ashamed. She put her hands on her knees and held them together uneasily.

He looked very guilty.

"Sorry, teacher."

"I'll keep trying."

"Next week's vacation, the teacher can help me cancel it."

The attitude like admitting mistakes made Pei Yi feel very unhappy.

Before she had time to speak, she saw Zhou Ruguang nod his head and softly 'um'.

"Projects can't stand still because of you alone."

"You have to work harder these days."

"It's good for you, too."

Zhou Ruguang was obviously very satisfied with Xu Xian's answer.

If Shidong worked overtime to solve the problem, which leader would be unhappy?

Pei Yi sat aside, the more she looked, the more angry she became.

In the past, she was often controlled by Zhou Ruguang's words "expectation" and "disappointment", and often did things she didn't like to do to please each other.

Originally, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but at this moment, looking at Xu Xian's expression of bowing her head and saying nothing, she suddenly felt a little resentful in her heart.

She took Xu Xian's hand, and there was a vague dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Dad, the experiment can't be done, and A Xian doesn't want it."

"How can you blame her so much?"

"Her vacation next week cannot be cancelled."

"We've already made an appointment to go shopping."

Zhou Ruguang immediately frowned upon hearing this.

He never thought that Pei Yi would suddenly stand up to fight for Xu Xian's rights.

After all, there were so many people around, considering that Pei Yi was indeed in love with Xu Xian, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

Instead of looking at Pei Yi, he looked towards Xu Xian.

"Then you have a good rest."

"After resting, you can concentrate on work."

Xu Xian was still nodding, her brows were still surrounded by a touch of melancholy.

Before she could react, her arm was taken up by the woman beside her, and then her body also stood up.

When he regained his senses, Pei Yi's voice came from the side of his ear.

"A-Xian and I are going out for a walk."

At nine o'clock at night, it was already dark.

The night sky is full of stars, the moon is hanging high, and the scenery in the garden is very beautiful.

Pei Yi took Xu Xian to the swing, and the two of them each sat down, and then they started chatting.

"I am sorry."

The first to speak was still Pei Yi.

Xu Xian didn't expect that she would hear these three words, and thought she heard it wrong.

"what?"

Pei Yi repeated it again.

"I said sorry."

Xu Xian's expression became even more confused.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Pei Yi sighed, thinking of Zhou Ruguang, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

"I apologize to you for him."

"Why don't you reject him?"

"You have no obligation to work overtime for him and give up vacation."

Xu Xian didn't expect that Pei Yi was actually apologizing to herself for this matter, and she was stunned for dozens of seconds before she recovered.

"It's just overtime, it doesn't matter."

"What's more, the experimental results have already been made, and I don't want to give it to him."

"Even if you work overtime, you're just doing your own thing in the lab."

"You don't have to apologize, and it's not your fault."

Xu Shi felt that Pei Yi's apology was too bizarre. After saying these words, Xu Xian smiled softly.

The full moon hangs high, the moonlight falls, and the white light shines on her face, as if covered with a hazy white gauze, with a confused sense of alienation.

Xu Xian's appearance can be regarded as delicate and clean at best.

Pei Yi tilted her head and looked sideways at the unremarkable face, and she was stunned for a moment.

"I just don't think it's worth it for you."

When Xu Xian heard the sound, the smile on her cheek became more and more obvious.

Pei Yi looked at her and couldn't help bending her lips.

"Next time if he asks you to work overtime, remember to refuse."

"Just tell him, I made an appointment for your full time outside of work in advance, and you don't have time to help him anymore."

It's not that I haven't seen Pei Yi's smile, but no smile can make Xu Xian feel like this--

Sincere, soft, and with a hint of intimacy.

Lost for a moment, she even forgot to answer.

Pei Yi leaned on the swing rope, raised her feet, and the rope began to shake.

"After these things are over, what are your plans?"

After all, Xu Xian was Zhou Ruguang's student, and she also participated in a project to study progesterone. Once Zhou Ruguang's illegal experiments were exposed, most of the people in the hospital who were related to him would be investigated.

When Pei Yi thought of this, Xu Xian could also think of it.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Senior sister asked me to go abroad and develop there."

going abroad?

Hearing this answer, Pei Yi couldn't help but stunned, with her toes on the ground, the swing stopped immediately.

She knew that Xu Xian was not joking, and after thinking about it, she also agreed with this approach.

"Going abroad is better than staying at home."

"His affairs will affect you somewhat."

Xu Xian nodded and said nothing.

Pei Yi's swing continued, and stopped after two minutes.

She looked at Xu Xian, and suddenly made another noise, and in her tone, she could tell that she was not very happy.

"Why don't you ask me what I want to do in the future?"

Xu Xian coughed lightly, but did not ask, but answered the question herself.

"You should accompany your aunt at home, or go on a trip with your aunt. In short, you will definitely stay by your aunt's side and not leave her alone."

Surprised that Xu Xian could guess her thoughts so accurately, Pei Yi's eyes widened.

"Why are you so clear?"

Xu Xian pursed her lips and quickly said her guess.

"You care about Auntie very much, but you are worried that she will be hurt. Otherwise, you wouldn't keep hiding it from her and send her away."

An irrefutable reason.

Pei Yi opened her lips, but no sound came out of her throat.

She didn't even realize it, but there was a smile in her eyes again.

***

Zhou Ruguang was dissatisfied with Pei Yi's disrupting his plans, and his mood was much worse. After sitting in the living room for a while, he returned to the study.

In a blink of an eye, only Zhou Ruhong and Pei Li were left on the sofa.

"Dad went to the study again. It's strange. Why is Dad's study so mysterious? I don't know. I thought the study was his second home."

According to her sister's arrangement, Pei Li deliberately mentioned this matter in front of Zhou Ruhong.

"Brother's study, are you still not allowed to enter?"

Zhou Ruhong often came to Pei's house, and of course she knew that the study at home was a taboo for Zhou Ruguang.

It's just that this is Pei's house after all, so she doesn't ask much.

Hearing Pei Li's words at this time, she suddenly remembered what Pei Yi said that day.

Seeing that the needle was inserted, Pei Li hurriedly said what he had prepared in advance.

"Yeah, even mom can't go in."

"I really don't know what my mother thinks. Dad often sleeps in the study, and she is not angry."

An unintentional remark instantly changed Zhou Ruhong's expression.

"You said your father often sleeps in the study at night?"

Perry nodded again.

"Yes."

"Two or three days a week."

"It's strange. If you don't sleep in a bedroom, you want to sleep in the study."

Pei Li shook his head, his words full of confusion.

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

He immediately got up, said hello to Zhou Ruhong, and went out of the living room to answer the phone.

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent.

There was no one on the first floor, Zhou Ruhong unknowingly went to the third floor and walked slowly to the mysterious study in the bright corridor.

The hallway lights were on, but there were often red flashes.

Zhou Ruhong looked up and found a camera.

Installing a camera in her own home, who does her brother Zhou Ruguang want to guard against?

What secrets are hidden in this study?
