Su Ji did not seem to hear what she said. She bent down and picked up the blanket that had fallen to the ground. She looked at it and clearly did not know where it came from.
“This is yours?”
Anna shook her head. “Pei Huai...put it on you...”
Su Ji nodded and put the blanket aside.
“Okay.”
Su Ji continued, “he said that you read his future and that you saw that he was looking for a girl, a very beautiful one at that.”
Anna paused and lowered her head like a primary school student who had done something wrong. “I was actually talking about myself...”
“...oh.” Su Ji narrowed her eyes.
She was a little sad.
Since she said it, she didn’t like to beat around the bush. “You like him?
Anna nodded.
“He’s very good,” Su Ji said. “I like him too, so I’m not surprised.”
Anna looked up at her and met Su Ji’s gaze.
“However, he’s mine now, so don’t like him anymore.”
She sounded calm, not smug at all. It was as if she was stating a fact and stamping her ownership on Pei Huai.
Anna pursed her lips.
Su Ji said half-jokingly. The veins on her forehead and the smile on her lips were just right. “You saw that I have a bad temper.”
Anna suddenly remembered the blood that Miyazawa Ta spat on the car window before she fainted.
She sat upright, her hands close to her sides. The hair clip on the side of her hair swayed, and the plaster on the back of her right hand lost its stickiness.
“Understood!”
She could let go now, because she saw a second ray of light in her life.
Not only that, the first time she met Su Ji and drank the bowl of bitter medicine, Su Ji gave her the second candy in her life.
They were all people who shone with light.
After the talk ended, Su Ji nodded calmly. She looked away and glanced at the medical plaster on the back of her hand. “This is not for wounds.”
Only then did Anna notice and quickly pressed on the back of her hand.
There were two knocks on the door behind her. Pei Huai came in from outside with the doctor’s report in his hand.
There were many bruises and cuts on Miyazawa Tat s body, and his second rib bone was slightly fractured. He could be discharged, but he had to stay in bed for at least a month. The recovery time could vary.
“Bone fracture?” Su Ji took the report from Pei Huai. “How fragile.”
Pei Huai glanced at the blanket that had been thrown to the side. “Stay for a day and you can return to the Pei residence tomorrow.”
Anna realized that he was talking to her. “Thank you.”
The next morning, when Anna was discharged from the hospital, Su Ji came. Su Ji first asked Pei Huai if there was any news from Dong Xiyou.
Pei Huai shook his head.
Su Ji communicated with He Yu. He Yu yawned non-stop. The person didn’t wait for him. He didn’t go home at all yesterday and waited in the Four Seasons Hotel lobby for the entire night to atone for his sins.
Du Meilan felt that something was wrong last night. It was odd that they didn’t come home at all. However, she thought that her youngest son was reasonable, so she did not call him. This morning, she stayed at home and waited until Anna was helped into the house by the hospital nurse.
She looked at Su Ji first, then at Pei Huai. Seeing that neither of them was injured, she looked back at Anna.
“You guys...’
“Did anyone call?” Pei Huai asked.
Du Meilan’s children had never fought with anyone before. Today, she experienced it, and it was quite novel.
Pei Huai said, “if someone calls you later, tell them to ask for me.”
“Or me,” Su Ji added.
Du Meilan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Anna like this, she was a little anxious and asked about the situation first. “Anna, you are injured?
Where are you hurt? Did you stay in the hospital yesterday?”
Su Ji gave her a summary of her condition. Du Meilan’s expression changed. She looked at Anna again, as if she was thinking about the possibilities that caused her to be injured.
“Let’s go in first.” Du Meilan signaled the housekeeper to take the nurse to Anna’s room, then patted Anna’s shoulder and said in a very gentle tone, “you’ll get better soon.”
Anna felt unprecedentedly relaxed, and a sense of security crept into her heart.
She had to cherish this hard-earned happiness, so she must not let the Pei family know about the recording. Otherwise, they would definitely hate her and send her back to the duke...
After Anna returned to her room, the nurse helped her change her dressing. Pei Huai and Su Ji were discussing Dong Xiyou in another room, and the butler sent fruits to their room.
When Du Meilan happened to pass by the living room, the phone rang. She picked it up directly.
As expected, the troublemaker had come.
Hearing the woman’s voice, Du Meilan hesitated.
“Yes?”
A cold laugh came from the other side. Miyazawa Rei, who had always been cold in front of others, almost lost control at this moment.
“Ask Ms. Su Ji what she did! My son has no grudge with her, but she beat him up until he was seriously injured and hospitalized! It’s not too much for me to demand an explanation, right?!”
Du Meilan’s tone was normal. “She wouldn’t do this for no reason. I’ll ask about the situation first and get back to you later.”
“It can’t be for no reason??” Miyazawa Rei laughed out of anger. “Forget it. I’m already in A City now, and I’ll be at the Pei residence in ten minutes. It’s best if you can invite Ms. Su over. Let’s talk about what’s going on face to face!” The woman’s voice was low and ruthless.
Du Meilan glanced at the phone that had been hung up and frowned slightly.
The butler had overheard some of the conversation and felt the pressure drop. He took a deep breath and said, “Madam, you know Su Ji definitely wouldn’t do it without reason...
“Preposterous!”
Du Meilan put the phone back. Not only was she not comforted by the butler’s words, but she became even angrier. Her chest began to rise and fall slightly.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the butler’s forehead. He was afraid that the unpleasantness from last time would happen again. “Madam, Ms. Su and Third Master Pei are still at home...
Before he could finish, he heard Du Meilan say angrily, “how dare you hang up on me?”
The butler:
She wasn’t angry at Ms. Su?
Du Meilan stood up from the sofa, “Iron my new dress!” They probably didn’t know what kind of person Madam Du was!
