The gaze of the girl next to her was full of inquiry and trouble, and she didn't try to hide it.

Pei Yi noticed it instantly.

"Doctor Xu, what are you looking at?"

Xu Xian was startled when she heard the sound, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

"Just now in the car—"

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

With a calm expression and a calm tone, Pei Yi directly admitted the fact that she had faked crying.

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

Tears are just one of the methods for her.

With such a blunt and candid answer, Xu Xian immediately pursed her lips even tighter.

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

Pei Yi obviously didn't notice this small abnormality.

Getting along with each other in the past few days has already made her fully trust Xu Xian.

"If she doesn't cry her eyes red, how can she love me? How can she believe what I say?"

The natural tone sounds very natural.

It was as if she was used to doing this kind of thing.

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

Xu Xian lowered her eyes and let out an 'um', then closed her lips again.

At this moment, she really wanted to know——

At the beginning, did Pei Yi also have this kind of mentality, and approached herself step by step in the temptation of showing weakness.

For the rest of the way, neither of them spoke.

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, Pei Yifu raised his eyes, just in time to see two tightly held hands reflected in the mirror, subconsciously sighed.

"It's really like a couple."

"No wonder even he didn't suspect it."

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

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

Until the sound in her ear disappeared, she still didn't see anything.

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

Only she—Xu Xian, lost her mind easily.

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

As she was about to get closer, Pei Yi's eyes were misty again.

Xu Xian lowered her head slightly, saw a pair of wet red eyes, and immediately frowned.

The two quickly came to the office.

Pei Yi lowered her eyes halfway, her cheeks were covered with a layer of dismal paleness, she looked very sad.

A trace of melancholy flashed across Xu Xian's pupils, she moved her fingertips lightly, then raised her hand, and knocked on the door.

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

Zhou Ruhong was wearing a white coat, and when he saw the crying niece with red and swollen eyes, his expression changed immediately.

"Xiaoyi?"

When Pei Yi heard this 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 he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Xu Xian who was at the side.

"what happened?"

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

"She refused to say it, as if it was a family matter."

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

Zhou Ruhong nodded, supported her niece's arm and led her into the room. Immediately afterwards, 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 was good at disguising, as soon as she entered the room, she immediately broke free from her aunt's support, then slowly walked to the window with red eyes, turned around and raised her arms, and lightly touched the corners of her eyes with her fingers.

Looking at it from the back, it's like wiping away tears.

The performance is too superb, Zhou Ruhong has no doubts at all.

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

"Crying like this, what happened?"

"Xu Xian said it's a family matter, could it be that your parents had a fight?"

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

It was still a peaceful caring word, but Pei Yi's heart was no longer as warm as before, and she could feel the warmth from it.

She thought of those indifferent and expelling words that Zhou Ruhong said to Ning Rou that night in the alley, and in an instant, a chill came out of her heart.

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

Pei Yi shook her head, her head drooped even lower, and tears flowed down her eyes one by one, one drop after another, all falling on the back of her 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 your aunt, you just want to tell her about the family affairs, right?"

"Why don't you talk now?"

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Ruhong sighed, and immediately stretched out her hand to stroke her niece's back gently.

Hearing her words, Pei Yi finally had some reaction.

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

"Auntie, I'm sorry."

The first sentence he spoke was actually an apology.

Hearing this, Zhou Ruhong felt even more uncomfortable.

"You silly boy, why are you apologizing to your aunt?"

"Tell aunt, what happened and why did you cry like this?"

Pei Yi wept softly, her body trembling with the crying movements, she looked extremely pitiful.

"Auntie, I'll just tell you about this. Promise me that you won't tell mom, okay?"

Can't tell Pei Xuan?

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

She nodded, her voice still gentle.

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

Pei Yi nodded, tears finally stopped at this moment.

"Auntie, I found out that Dad—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 be separated like this."

"Mom is so good, why does daddy find another woman? Why does he do things that are sorry for 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.

All he cared about was his medical career.

Without Pei Xuan, he would not be where he is today.

He has no reason to go outside to find another woman.

Unless, that woman has more wealth than the Pei family, which can make his career go to the next level.

This kind of thing would have happened 30 years ago.

Now, how come?

Zhou Ruhong shook his head, his tone was very firm.

"impossible."

"How could your father cheat?"

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

"You are his daughter, and it's impossible for you not to 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.

"Auntie, if I wasn't sure that Dad had another woman, how could I come to you?"

"Believe me, Dad really betrayed Mom."

Zhou Ruhong couldn't help being shaken by hearing these swear words.

"So, you have evidence of your father's cheating?"

Pei Yi was waiting for Zhou Ruhong to ask this question.

Without thinking, she nodded.

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

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

"In the utility room at home, there is a wheelchair, and you know, no one in our family needs to use this kind of thing."

"The second brother said that this wheelchair has been at home for many years. A few days ago, I accompanied my mother to the elder brother's place. The second brother went back to live in the company, and only my father was left at home. After I returned home, the housekeeper uncle secretly told me Me, the wheelchair in the utility room was moved."

"My mother also told me that sometimes my father would stay at home all day, but other women's hair would appear on his body inexplicably. If he didn't raise people at home, how could these things happen?"

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

"Auntie, I don't want to believe that my father cheated, but my father is really weird recently."

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

Pei Yi's words, every word and every sentence are very real, not like chasing after rumors at all.

As Zhou Ruguang's younger sister, Zhou Ruhong knew very well that there was only one woman her brother could really love in this life, and that was Ning Chun.

He married Pei Xuan purely out of profit.

If what Pei Yi said is true, then the woman Zhou Ruguang hid in Pei's house is probably Ning Chun.

This also means——Zhou Ruguang deceived him.

The operation that year was actually not a failure at all.

And Ning Chun didn't die either.

Zhou Ruhong's complexion changed drastically, his cheeks were as pale as dead gray.

It wasn't until Pei Yi's voice sounded next to her ear that she came back to her senses.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

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

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

She knew that the move Luozhen taught her was a success.

***

Pei Yi's words left a big impact on Zhou Ruhong.

Whether Ning Chun is still alive, whether the operation failed, all these things need to be re-investigated.

This evening, it was another weekly family dinner for the Pei family.

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

About Ning Chun, Zhou Ruhong has not asked Zhou Ruguang yet.

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

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

Taking advantage of Zhou Ruguang's working time in the hospital, she quietly went to the utility room to look through it. As Pei Yi said, there was a big cardboard box in the corner of the utility room, and what was inside the box was indeed a wheelchair.

She had to believe Pei Yi's words.

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

After dinner, 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 yet been produced, his expression immediately became disappointed, and then he said his favorite two sentences.

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

"Everyone knows that you are the teacher's favorite student, and the teacher also has great 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, her expression was very ashamed, her hands rested on her knees, and they were clasped together uneasily.

It looks like a very guilty look.

"Sorry, teacher."

"I'll keep working hard."

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

Seeing the attitude as if admitting a mistake, Pei Yi was very displeased.

Before she had time to speak, Zhou Ruguang nodded and gave a soft 'huh'.

"The project cannot be stalled because of you alone."

"In the past few days, you have to work harder."

"It's good for you if you do it."

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

Which leader would be unhappy if people work overtime to solve the problem?

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

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

Originally, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but at this moment, seeing Xu Xian's bowed head and silent appearance, she suddenly felt a little resentful.

She held Xu Xian's hand, with dissatisfaction faintly showing in her eyes.

"Father, if the experiment can't be done, Axian doesn't want to."

"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 frowned immediately when he heard these words.

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

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

He didn't look at Pei Yi again, but looked towards Xu Xian instead.

"Then you should have a good rest."

"Take a good rest so you can concentrate on your work."

Xu Xian still nodded, with a faint melancholy still surrounding her brows.

Before she could react, her arms were lifted by the woman beside her, and immediately after, her body also stood up.

When she came back to her senses, Pei Yi's voice came close to her ear.

"Axian and I went out for a walk."

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

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

Pei Yi led Xu Xian to the swing, and the two sat down, and then they started chatting.

"sorry."

It was still Pei Yi who spoke first.

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

"what?"

Pei Yi repeated it again.

"I said I'm sorry."

Xu Xian's expression was even more perplexed.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Pei Yi sighed, thinking of Zhou Ruguang, a trace of boredom flashed in her eyes.

"I apologize to you on his behalf."

"Why didn't you refuse him?"

"You have no obligation to work overtime or give up vacations for him."

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

"It's just overtime, it's okay."

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

"Even if I work overtime, I just do my own thing in the laboratory."

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

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

The full moon hangs high, the moonlight sets, and the white light shines on her face, as if covered with a hazy white veil, giving her a sense of confusion and alienation.

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

Pei Yi tilted her head, looked sideways at that not-so-remarkable face, and was dazed for a moment.

"I just feel worthless for you."

When Xu Xian heard the sound, the smile on her cheeks became more obvious, and her two eyebrows relaxed, and she no longer looked frowning like she was in the room.

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

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

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

It's not that I have never seen Pei Yi smile, but there is no smile that can make Xu Xian feel this way——

Sincere, soft, and with a faint intimacy.

In a moment of distraction, she even forgot to answer.

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

"What are your plans after these things are over?"

After all, Xu Xian is Zhou Ruguang's student, and also participated in the research project of progesterone. Once Zhou Ruguang's illegal experiments are exposed, most of the people in the hospital who are related to him will be investigated.

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

"I haven't made up my mind yet, my senior sister asked me to go abroad and develop with her."

going abroad?

When Pei Yi heard this answer, she couldn't help being stunned, she put her toes on the ground, and the swing immediately stopped.

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

"Going abroad is better than staying at home."

"His affairs will affect you to some extent."

Xu Xian nodded and didn't speak any more.

Pei Yi's swing continued to swing, and stopped after 2 minutes.

She looked at Xu Xian, and suddenly said again, 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 still didn't ask, but answered the question herself.

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

Surprised that Xu Xian guessed her thoughts so accurately, Pei Yi's eyes widened a little.

"Why are you so clear?"

Xu Xian pursed her lips, and quickly said her guess.

"You care about Auntie very much, but you also worry 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.

Even she didn't realize that there was a smile in her eyes again.

***

Zhou Ruguang was dissatisfied with Pei Yi's messing up his plan, and he was in a bad mood. After sitting in the living room for a while, he went back 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 really strange. Why is Dad's study so mysterious? I don't know. I thought the study was his second home."

According to his sister's arrangement, Pei Li deliberately brought up this matter in front of Zhou Ruhong.

"Brother's study, you are not allowed to go in?"

Zhou Ruhong often comes to Pei's house, so of course he knows that the study at home is Zhou Ruguang's taboo.

It's just that this is Pei's family after all, so it's not easy for her to inquire about it.

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

Pei Li saw the needle and quickly 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, but she is not angry."

An unintentional remark instantly changed Zhou Ruhong's expression drastically.

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

Pei Li nodded again.

"Yes."

"There are two or three days in a week."

"It's so strange, I don't sleep in the bedroom, but I want to sleep in the study."

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

Just as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

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

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence.

There was no one on the first floor, so Zhou Ruhong went to the third floor without anyone noticing it, and slowly walked towards the mysterious study room in the bright corridor.

The lights in the corridor are on, but there are red lights flashing from time to time.

Zhou Ruhong looked up and found a camera.

Installing a camera in her home, who is her brother, Zhou Ruguang, trying to guard against?

What secrets are hidden in this study?
