Chapter 313 - Revenge from Pei Qingheng
Xia Sunian was immediately stunned in place, for a moment not believing her own ear.
"Qing Heng?" Old Master Pei frowned slightly, and looked at Pei Qingheng with a puzzled expression.
Pei Qingheng said indifferently: "The news of the divorce will not benefit our Pei Family either. Aunt Xia's current identity outside is the Pei Family's matriarch. Once you get divorced, you would be telling an outsider that this is the fault of our Pei Family's Patriarch and our Mistress. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Before Old Master Pei and Pei Tian could react, Xia Sunian had already answered them all.
A trace of disgust flashed past Old Master Pei's eyes. He coldly looked at Xia Sunian, turned his head towards Pei Qingheng, and asked in a deep voice: "Then what about according to your opinion regarding Qingheng?"
Pei Qingheng's deep eyes that were as deep as a lake looked at Xia Sunian. After a while, the corner of Pei Qingheng's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile that was as cold as snow: "Pei Family's manager mother is sick, it's not a good time to see guests. I might as well send her to a sanatorium and rest for a while. "
Xia Sunian's body suddenly felt as if she had fallen into ice water, her entire being stiffened in place. Pei Qingheng's stunning smile, in her eyes, was like an evil spirit that had come from hell, bringing about a cruel and cold killing intent and bloodthirsty aura.
"Mrs. Pei is sick, I need to rest in the sanatorium for a while."
It was as if a male and female voice had said those words at the same time. The current scene seemed to have merged strangely with the one from the past. For a moment, Xia Sunian couldn't even tell where she was right now. A hint of madness appeared in her eyes, as she said sharply: "No! I'm not going! "
This incomparably sharp voice also frightened Xiao Yi who was in his embrace. With wide open eyes, he fearfully looked at Xia Sunian: "Mother, what's wrong?"
Pei Qingheng bent down and revealed a gentle smile to Xiao Yi: "Come to Xiao Yi, come to big brother's place."
Xiao Yi's eyes turned in front of Xia Sunian and Pei Qingheng, and his face revealed an expression of hesitation.
Xia Sunian hugged Xiao Yi even more tightly, and began to mutter incoherently, "You're not allowed to get close to Xiao Yi! If you dare do anything to Xiao Yi, I won't let you go even as a ghost! "
"Ugh …" Xiao Yi's face revealed a pained expression, and the eyes he looked at Xia Sunian with revealed a trace of panic.
Pei Qingheng straightened his body and looked at Xia Sunian indifferently, "Looks like Aunt Xia is indeed sick."
Pei Tian glanced at Pei Qingheng and said to the woman who had been standing by the door: "Carry the young master away."
"..." "Yes." The lady hesitated, but a look of pity in her eyes when she looked at Xia Sunian.
She walked forward, and while carrying Xiao Yi, she softly urged. "Madam, calm down …"
"Let me go! Let me go! " Xia Sunian's voice was already sharp to the point that it sounded hoarse. She screamed at the same time as she struggled with all her might, "Nobody can take my child away!"
"Wuuwaa — —" Xiao Yi's face revealed an expression of shock and fear, and he couldn't help but start crying once again.
"Pei Tian!" Old Master Pei slammed the table heavily, his face revealing an expression of slight impatience as he looked coldly at Pei Tian.
Pei Tian received Old Master Pei's gaze, clenched his teeth, and used his hand to heavily chop at the back of Xia Sunian's neck.
The sharp cries suddenly stopped. Xia Sunian released the hand she was holding Xiao Yi with, and weakly collapsed onto the ground.
Xiao Yi helplessly stood in place as he looked at Xia Sunian who was quietly lying on the ground, with a trace of confusion appearing in her eyes. He couldn't understand how her mother had suddenly become like this.
"Xiao Yi be good, don't be afraid."
It was unknown when, but Pei Qingheng was squatting beside Xiao Yi.
"Big brother …" Xiao Yi looked at Pei Qingheng with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. He turned around and threw himself into Pei Qingheng's embrace, and asked softly, "Do you know what happened to mother?"
Pei Qingheng hugged Xiao Yi, and those eyes that were cold to the point of being devoid of any intelligence stared coldly at Xia Sunian, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "It's fine, your mother is just sick."
"Huh?" Xiao Yi immediately raised his head, and looked at Pei Qingheng nervously, "Really? Is Mom sick? That's why it was like that just now? "
"Yes." Pei Qingheng smiled as he looked at Xiao Yi, "Big brother is a doctor, does Xiao Yi not believe big brother?"
Xiao Yi's big eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at Pei Qingheng with a trusting look, and nodded seriously: "I believe Big Brother! Brother is the best doctor! "
Pei Qingheng laughed.
"Then …" Xiao Yi turned to look at Xia Sunian, and asked worriedly, "When will mother recover?"
"With big brother here, Xiao Yi's mother would definitely get better very quickly." Pei Qingheng said, his face revealing a troubled expression, "But..."
"But what?" Xiao Yi immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Pei Qingheng.
"It's just that Xiao Yi's mother is going to a place to treat his illness. But Xiao Yi will not see your mother for a long time. "
"Ah …" Xiao Yi's innocent face revealed a hesitant expression.
"Xiao Yi doesn't want Mother's illness to heal, right?" Pei Qingheng asked.
"Xiao Yi wants to!" Xiao Yi immediately nodded.
"Then Xiao Yi will only be able to see Mom for a period of time." Pei Qingheng said.
Xiao Yi acted as if he had made some sort of decision, "It's alright! As long as mother isn't sick! "
"Xiao Yi is really the most obedient child that big brother has ever seen." Pei Qingheng laughed and rubbed Xiao Yi's hair, "Then, Xiao Yi can go back to sleep obediently now?"
Xiao Yi nodded his head obediently. Seeing that, the lady at the side immediately carried Xiao Yi and prepared to bring him away.
"Good night, Grandfather, Father, and Big Brother." Xiao Yi's soft and gentle voice sounded.
"Good night." Pei Qingheng smiled and waved at Xiao Yi. As he watched Xiao Yi's figure disappear into the corridor, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Pei Tian, who had been watching the interaction between Pei Qingheng and Pei Yi, had a pensive look in his eyes.
Without even looking at Pei Tian, Pei Qingheng said to Old Master Pei, "Grandfather, I think it's best if we leave Pei Family's matters to father."
"Why?" Old Master Pei frowned, "Could it be that Pei Family's business is beneath your eyes?"
Pei Qingheng smiled slightly: "Grandfather knows me, I only want to be a doctor. Furthermore, now that you suddenly handed over the business of Pei Family to me, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to take on the heavy responsibility. "
Old Master Pei stared at Pei Qingheng with his deep gaze.
Pei Qingheng stood where he was and allowed the old man to size him up.
After a while, the old man's face revealed a trace of exhaustion. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you're willing, let's do it this way."
