"Maybe she doesn't know who you are?" Pei Qingcheng was still unwilling to give up, she did not believe that this would be the result.

"She called me Housekeeper Hu." Butler Hu immediately said, "He probably knows who I am."

"No." Pei Qingcheng's countenance turned pale as she shook her head. In truth, she knew that she was doing her best to resist against a truth that might be the truth. "This doesn't make sense, but my heart is my best friend. There's no reason for me to do this."

"A person's heart, through the sternum and skin, you will never know what the other person's heart is thinking." His tone was flat, but his words were like a bullet striking her in the chest.

Nightingale waved goodbye to Housekeeper Hu, and the butler walked out of the room and lightly closed the door.

Pei Qingcheng felt her legs go soft as she leaned on the back of the sofa and slowly slid down.

For a long time her mind was blank.

She and Tang Kexin had known each other since childhood, and the Tang and Pei families had always been close.

When they were young, she and Tang Kexin didn't really have much fun.

Tang Ke's heart had been spoiled bad by the Tang Clan. She wanted whatever good stuff others had.

Later on, they grew up and only after entering university did she and Tang Kexin suddenly become close. Afterwards, Tang Kexin often came to play with her, and the two became close friends who could talk about anything and everything.

They rarely argued, and Tang Kexin had once laughed at the fact that the two of them respected each other so much that they could grow old together.

So, what motive did Tang Ke have to harm her?

No, she still couldn't figure it out!

Pei Qingcheng shook her head and bit her lower lip tightly, clenching her hands into fists.

First it was Tang Kefeng, then it was Tang Kexin.

Why did the most trustworthy people around her become strangers when they were by her side?

She struggled to her feet and stepped toward the door.

Tang Ke Xin wouldn't harm her, so she had no reason to do so.

They were good friends, good friends.

Her enemies and enemies should be the one in front of her.

Standing in front of her, it was like a jade sculpture.

Distinguished, magnificent, high above.

His face was always calm and indifferent.

For example, when Yin Ha fell down from the stairs, Ye Wen stood beside him with the same expression on his face.

The life and death of others never seemed to have anything to do with him.

Pei Qingcheng clutched her chest as she moved to the door and pulled it open, "You can cover for yourself, but don't insult the feelings between me and Kindness. Not everyone's feelings are so disdainful in your eyes!"

She opened the door and ran out.

Nightingale did not call out to her. Instead, she looked at her back as she rushed out of the door in a panic.

He knew that the truth would definitely affect Pei Qingcheng.

In fact, there was one fact that he hadn't told her yet.

If he had told her that she drank a cup of drugged wine at the bar that night, and the person behind the scenes was Tang Kexin, she would definitely not have been able to accept it.

Also, one can accept and resist attacks from the enemy.

But he could not accept his friend's betrayal and attacks.

He wanted to take her in his arms and tell her that everyone in the world had betrayed her, but he was tired and would take care of her forever.

But perhaps, he had never had such a chance in his life.

He lowered his eyes. Ding Han lightly knocked on the door, stood by the door, and whispered, "Madam lost control of her emotions and ran out."

"Just find a few people to protect her from a distance." Nightingale cast her gaze outside the window.

Now, fireworks were being set off. It was prepared for Madam Ye by Ye Xiu.

Actually, it was all prepared for Pei Qingcheng.

He remembered, seven years ago, when they went to the Arc de Triomphe to see the fireworks, Yin Ha had arranged for him and Pei Qingcheng to be together.

Ye Wen stood far away without moving, but all he could see was Pei Qingcheng, who was looking up at the bright fireworks in the sky with an intoxicated expression.

The red and green light illuminated Pei Qingcheng's face, seemingly igniting all of her happiness.

At that time, she was probably the happiest person in Pei Qingcheng's life!

Ding Han looked at Ye Wen's back and quietly left the room.

Pei Qingcheng ran all the way downstairs, and was still filled with guests.

Her steps were unsteady. In the eyes of others, it was inevitable that she would stagger and stagger.

He bumped into Tang Kexin. What a coincidence!

"Eh? Inclined." Tang Ke Xin stopped her, and looked at her from head to toe in astonishment. "Why did you change into a new set of clothes?" Where's the qipao from before? "

It seemed he still remembered her qipao, but it had been more than 20 minutes since she asked Tang Kexin to help her get her coat. Where had she gone?

Pei Qingcheng also wanted to believe Tang Kexin, but the truth was, she was already shaken by Ye Wen's words.

She tried to keep her tone even, "But please, can I ask you to help me get my coat? Where did you go? "

"Oh." Tang Kexin stroked her hair as she curled the left corner of her mouth. "I took it, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. I've even searched the entire stadium for you!"

Looking around the entire stadium? Pei Qingcheng had been squatting there for at least ten minutes, and had yet to see Tang Ke's face.

At this moment, her phone rang in her handbag. She subconsciously took it out and took a look.

Ding Han had given her a video, which should be a surveillance video of Ye Xiwen's family.

Pei Qingcheng quickly looked at the video as Tang Kexin walked away from her and out of the hall. Then, the camera switched to the surveillance cameras outside. Tang Kexin was currently chatting happily with a few famous women, laughing her head off.

"Tilt, what are you looking at?" Tang Kexin noticed that the space between Pei Qingcheng's eyebrows had tightened up, and she hurriedly moved closer to him.

Pei Qingcheng immediately turned off the phone and returned it to her handbag.

Her fingers were cold, her palms sweaty.

This was what happened every time she encountered something she couldn't accept.

This should be real. With the surveillance video here, she would be a fool if she still didn't believe it.

Moreover, he was a vaunted and tired man, so it was impossible for him to frame Tang Kexin. If he wasn't absolutely confident, he wouldn't say such words.

When she looked at Tang Kexin again, Pei Qingcheng suddenly felt that she could no longer recognize her.

She really wanted to show the video to her. She really wanted to ask her, why did she do such a thing?

Why did he want to make a fool of her in public?!

Also, why did Tang Kexin say she was in England when he knew she called him that day, hoping he could help her?

She had not taken a single step out of the city.

Pei Qingcheng felt that she was really stupid.

Two days and one night, thirty-six hours. It would take thirty-two hours to travel back and forth between the city and London.

But she still believed it.

Could it be that the reason why Tang Ke made such a big lie was because he did not want to help Pei Qingcheng?

But, the one lying in the hospital was Tang Kexin's godmother!

Pei Qingcheng's mother really liked Tang Kexin. Because Tang Kexin was a sweet talker, and was the opposite of Pei Qingcheng's reserved personality, Tang Kexin accepted her mother as his godmother.

Normally, he loved to go to the Pei household and stay by Mrs. Pei's side. It was said that Tang Kexin was the real daughter of Mrs. Pei.

When the accident happened to Mrs. Pei, Tang Ke's heart also cried very sorrowfully.

However, why did she pretend that she was not in Mo City when she knew that Pei Qingcheng wanted to ask her mother for help?

These words, Pei Qingcheng truly wanted to spout them out.

However, in the luxurious main hall of the Ye Clan, there were so many people that Pei Qingcheng couldn't even ask.

She looked straight at Tang Kexin, and her awkward expression immediately returned to normal. She smiled and took hold of Pei Qingcheng's arm, "Uh, forget it, since there's nothing else, let's go eat something!"

Pei Qingcheng's body stiffened. There was no way she could act like Tang Kexin and act like nothing had happened.

However, she knew that if she were to interrogate Tang Kexin now, she would not be able to admit it without proof. Even if she did not get Pei Qingcheng any clothes, it would not mean that it was Tang Kexin who broke the qipao.

Not only that, Pei Qingcheng was not a hundred percent sure of herself.

In short, Shen Lo and she each had half the suspicion.

Pei Qingcheng let out a light breath as she pretended to be oblivious and pulled Tang Kexin's hand away, "I'm not eating. I'm leaving first."

"You left?" Tang Ke's eyes widened. "Chairman Ye, are you leaving as well?"

Why was Tang Kexin's first reaction to the question was to ask if Ye Xiu was leaving or not, and not to ask why she had left before the banquet had even begun?

Pei Qingcheng pondered for a moment before replying, "He won't leave."

"Oh." A trace of relief actually flashed in Tang Ke's eyes. "You don't look too good. You should go back and rest!"

It was as if Tang Ke had long wished for her to leave.

Stepping lightly to the door, Housekeeper Hu held her coat as he waited for her on the porch. He lightly draped it over Pei Qingcheng's shoulders, "Young Mistress, Young Master has ordered that if you wish to return to your car and stay at the entrance, it would not be appropriate for you to walk today if the mountain road is frozen."

Pei Qingcheng nodded her head in thanks before turning to look at Tang Kexin.

She was no longer where she was. She was holding a glass of wine and happily chatting with someone else.

For the first time, Pei Qingcheng felt that Tang Ke's heart was very far away from her.

Perhaps the two of them had never been close.

Pei Qingcheng turned and walked down the porch.

In the Ye family's manor, a glass house had been temporarily built. Because the wind in the garden was very cold and the women wore very little, the house was built with such beautiful glass.

Thus, the car stopped at the main entrance. Pei Qingcheng grabbed her coat with both hands and walked towards the entrance.

It was Lady Ye's birthday, she knew.

She left in a hurry without even half an hour's time. She must have given herself a good discount.

It didn't matter. She wasn't planning to be the real daughter-in-law of Madam Ye anyway. It didn't matter what kind of image she held in her heart.

She only wanted to escape from this place, escape from everything here.

Suddenly, a voice called out to her.

"Hey, that little girl."

Pei Qingcheng stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, under a tree, stood an old woman in her seventies. Her hair was all white.

She was dressed extravagantly and wore emerald earrings. It seemed like she was a respected guest of the Ye Family.

Pei Qingcheng walked over and asked politely, "You called me?"

"Hm." The old woman narrowed her eyes and sized her up. "Little girl, can you help me with something?"
