Su Ji should have been the one getting jealous, but instead it was Pei Huai.
Su Ji put the phone to her ear and did not answer his question. Instead, she said, “bring some clean clothes over later.”
“Who is it for?” Pei Huai asked.
“Anna.”
Pei Huai asked, “where can I find you?”
Su Ji thought for a moment. “Central Hospital.”
Pei Huai raised his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows. His head started to hurt. “There are injuries?”
Su Ji thought of the face and narrowed her eyes. “A face full of blood.”
Separated by a few kilometers, Pei Huai’s car suddenly made a turn and stopped by the roadside. He immediately picked up the phone on the passenger seat and the muscles on the back of his hand bulged. “I’m asking about you.”
“Oh…” Su Ji leaned back in her seat. “I’m fine. What’s that noise?”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before the roar of the car started again.
Pei Huai’s voice returned to normal. “Nothing. I’m driving.”
Su Ji thought for a moment and decided to tell him in advance. “But the person
I beat seems to be someone important. I beat him up quite badly.”
Pei Huai laughed. “Was it fun?”
There were two meanings to this sentence.
One was literal.
The other was a little ironic. Was it fun to cause such a big trouble?
Su Ji was trying to figure out what kind of question he was asking. She replied, “it’s alright.”
Then, she heard Pei Huai say, “if it’s not enough, I’ll give him another beating.” Su Ji understood that the question was literal.
Later on, Pei Huai asked her where her phone was. Su Ji said that she lost it during the fight just now. Pei Huai hung up. Less than half a minute later, something vibrated in the backpack she put in the passenger seat. He Yu thought of something and handed the backpack to Su Ji.
She managed to find her phone in there. The missed call was from Pei Huai. When she got the phone, it had already hung up. She shook her phone.
Su Ji sighed inwardly.
That’s her boyfriend.
When Anna woke up again, she was already lying in the ward of the Central Hospital.
The rain was still falling. It was past nine o’clock at night. She was lying in a single room and hooked on to an IV drip. She was wearing a hospital gown that did not fit her size. There was even a new set of clothes at the bedside. She felt dizzy.
She looked to the side and saw Su Ji curled up on the sofa, looking lazy. She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed or asleep. She had changed into a new set of clothes, and the blanket that was originally on her body had fallen to the ground.
The guilt in her heart was at its peak.
Anna looked at the back of her hand. It was her left hand. She looked up and found that the hospital gown on her forearm had been rolled up to her elbow, revealing the row of ugly scars.
She took a deep breath and rolled down her sleeves. She did it too quickly and it pulled on the IV drip.
“Ping pong. ”
Su Ji yawned. She glanced over slowly and spun the phone in her hand.
At this moment, Anna recalled the series of events that had happened today. She pursed her lips and suppressed her emotions. “It’s, it’s, it’s you who saved…
“Pei Huai just admitted you to the hospital.” Su Ji changed the subject and pointed at the clothes by her bed. “He got them for you.”
Pei Huai got Anna a set of clothes as instructed by Su Ji. He also got then for Su Ji even though she didn’t say anything.
Su Ji just changed out of her wet clothes.
He Yu didn’t have any new clothes, as Pei Huai didn’t know that there was another person there.
At this moment, Pei Huai went out to take a call from work while He Yu took a taxi back to the Four Seasons Hotel to see if he could still turn the tide. Perhaps he was still waiting for him?
Su Ji was in charge of watching over Anna.
Pei Huai had already called to ask about Dong Xiyou.
They did not let the other Pei family members know about Anna for the time being. They only said that they took Anna out.
Anna hugged her knees and sat on the bed with her head lowered. “Thank, thank you… ”
“Who is that person? You came out to look for him?”
Anna pinched her left wrist. “He…he’s my stepbrother.”
Su Ji stopped spinning her phone and slowly looked up at her. She was very calm.
The topic ended here. The two of them did not mention it again.
It was the first time Anna was in the same room as Su Ji.
She stared at her hand, and the atmosphere was so quiet.
She felt that Su Ji might have fallen asleep again. She did not know how she managed it, but she suddenly said, “s-sorry!”
Su Ji opened her eyes and looked at her.
Anna tightened her grip and swallowed, trying to stop herself from stuttering.
“I’m sorry,” she repeated, sounding even more serious.
She came to China hoping to make Pei Huai fall in love with her. She knew that it was very despicable.
However, after ten years of longing for him, if she didn’t come here and see them together, she wouldn’t be able to give up. She would still convince herself to believe Miyazawa Rei’s words that they were not in love.
She should have given up when she knew that he had a fiancée, but it was not that easy.
In the past few years, she was able to survive because of him.
The summer when she was eight years old, she received her first candy. The warm wind that year blew on her heart. She began to have a crush on someone.
At that time, it might just be a crush, but later on, when Miyazawa Rei and Miyazawa Ta came into the family, Pei Huai became the only light in her life.
Her survival instinct made her want to be saved. She wanted Pei Huai to save her…
Miyazawa Ta’s recording…was like a ticking time bomb that was imprinted in her mind, ready to explode at any moment.
Seven years ago, they came into her life.
Although Anna was afraid of strangers, she really wanted to accept them as her future family.
Half a year later, her father arranged a decent job for Miyazawa Ta. During the business trip, he called her for the first time.
At that time, Anna was only eleven years old. She didn’t understand what he was doing on the phone. She thought that he was sick and was concerned about him. She told him whatever he wanted to hear.
He said he didn’t mind her stuttering and asked her to speak more.
Later, she found out that he had recorded it.
And now, that recording sounded as if she was shamelessly taking the initiative…
He used the recording as a threat to stop Anna from resisting. He forced her to compromise again and again, making her more and more unable to explain herself. It made her hate herself.
Therefore, she did not dare to tell her father, let alone let him call the Pei family. She listened to him and went to the parking lot to look for him.. In the end, she almost ruined everything…
