Pei Xin found it hard to calm down because of Song Yang’s advice. Yes, once she was on the operating table, she was aware that she might not make it out alive. Others might hesitate at that thought, but her supposed parents who had raised her for more than 20 years were eager for her to die immediately.

Pei Xin laughed at herself. She looked at the infusion tube in her hand and suddenly realized that she was starting to owe Lu Huai more and more.

Pei Xin stumbled all the way back to the Lu family’s house. Fortunately, the Lu family’s area was not far from this hospital. Otherwise, with her current health, she might not make it back before dawn.

Ling Lin must have been anxious considering the fact that she’s been out for so long. With that in mind, she forced herself to quicken her pace.

As they neared the room, they suddenly heard a burst of crying.

Pei Xin didn’t have time to think about it and ran a few steps around the garden. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Lin standing at the side.

The one crying was not Ling Lin, but Lu Nan’s son, Sun Che.

Sun Che’s exquisite suit was covered in dirt, and his face was smothered in mud and tears. Ling Lin’s body was also covered in mud, and there were even some bruises on his face.

However, he stood at the side with a stubborn expression, like a fierce wolf, fiercely staring at the wailing Sun Che.

“Ling Lin!” Pei Xin hurriedly ran over and pulled Ling Lin into her arms. She took a closer look. Other than a little scar on his face, there was nothing else. She heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, her eyes were filled with heartache. “How did you get hurt?!”

When Ling Lin saw Pei Xin return, his hungry wolf-like expression instantly softened. “It’s fine, Mommy. We just bumped into each other.”

Pei Xin’s heart ached as she hugged Ling Lin. She regretted not coming back earlier. She could have saved her son from being injured.

Sun Che’s crying attracted the Lu family’s servants and nannies. They panicked and quickly helped him up, trying to comfort him.

“It’s him. It’s that b*stard. He’s the one who hit me!” When Sun Che saw that someone had arrived, he immediately stopped crying and pointed at Ling Lin.

“I’m not a b*stard. If you call me a b*stard again, I’ll hit you!” Ling Lin broke free from Pei Xin’s arms and waved his fists at Sun Che.

Sun Che quickly hid behind the nanny, but he did not forget to shout, “You are. My mother and uncle told me that your mother is a sl*t and you are a b*stard!”

Ling Lin revealed that fierce look again, struggling to get up and to beat the other kid, but Pei Xin hurriedly stopped him.

She didn’t expect a kid the same age as Ling Lin to say something like this. However, when she thought about Lu Nan’s arrogant and domineering appearance and Lu Li’s flamboyant personality, it didn’t seem out of place.

“Ling Lin, what did Mommy tell you?”

“You said that you can’t fight head-on with others before you have absolute strength, but Mommy, it wasn’t fine even when it was over. At first, I wanted to ignore him, but he kept saying things behind my back. He even threw dirt at me and said that I belong in the trash! Mommy, although I won’t get hurt if I endure it, my heart hurts! Every single one of them bullies you and scolds you, and that makes my heart hurt. It hurts even more than when I accidentally cut my finger with paper!”

Pei Xin was shocked. Her child was braver and more thorough than her.

“You b*stard, how dare you hit him? Sun Che didn’t say anything wrong. You’re the b*stard and it’s because your mom slept around!” After the nanny coaxed Sun Che, she shouted at Ling Lin.

Pei Xin frowned and turned around to hit the nanny’s face with all her strength.

Pei Xin had used up all her strength just now, so she could not even leave a mark on the nanny’s face. However, since Pei Xin had been submissive since she arrived at the Lu family, the nanny was so shocked that she needed time to recover. She finally processed that had been beaten by Pei Xin and made her move.

“You sl*t, did you just hit me?” The nanny asked angrily.

“What’s there to be afraid of? If you dare touch my son again, I’ll kill you!” Pei Xin became just as ruthless.

She had suffered so much trauma just now that this little incident meant nothing to her.

She could suffer all kinds of grievances, but will never accept son suffering the same experiences she did.

Pei Xin’s fierce gaze scared the nanny so much that the nanny stumbled backward. After she reacted, she seemed to be embarrassed by her own retreat. She still straightened her back and shouted, “You didn’t educate your b*stard son well and now he’s going around beating children up. If you can’t teach him yourself, I’ll be more than happy to educate him in my own way!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Xin raised her hand and slapped her again. “I can teach my own son! You should teach that child to speak with more manners! He’s learning such foul language at such a young age. He learned it all from you. I think the Lu family should fire you for misconduct!!”
