Chapter 869: What Did She Give Birth To?

The assistants were carrying boxes in their hands. When they saw Su Ji and the others, they greeted them politely.
Su Ji’s gaze fell on the boxes.
It was made of metal and had a password lock at the corner. The outer shell looked very thick. It was the kind of sealed box that could create a low-temperature sterile environment.
Just looking at the box piqued their interest.
“Wait for me upstairs.” Wang Yi pressed the key and locked the car. He turned around and instructed his assistants, who nodded respectfully.
Du Meilan retracted her gaze from the direction where the assistants had left.
“Wang Yi is here for work?”
Most people would come here for either treatment or check-ups, but this was definitely not the case with him.
Wang Yi nodded. “The research institute and the hospital have a collaboration project. I’m here today to collect experimental samples.”
The investigation of Xiao Lingxian had to be stopped when it reached Bian Tong. In fact, after Wang Yi submitted the application to terminate the investigation, the higher-ups sent another group of people to investigate Bian Tong secretly.
Although Wang Yi had already provided enough evidence in the termination application to prove that Bian Tong had nothing to do with the Xiao Lingxian incident and that he had done everything that needed to be erased, the higher-ups still attached great importance to her incident. Moreover, they had already invested in it for a long time. Just the researchers who had handled this project, including Wang Yi, were of three generations. Therefore, it would not really end just because of his report.
However, the results of the secret investigation were very unsatisfactory because Bian Tong…had disappeared.
There were no signs, no clues, no travel records of him on any domestic or foreign routes, and they had even checked the direction of smuggling, but there was no result.
One had to know how much authority their department had. It was impossible for a person to slip away from under their noses.
Even if he hired the best hacker to cover his tracks, it would be difficult to achieve this level of cleanliness, unless he disappeared from the face of the earth.
But how could a good person really disappear from the face of the earth?
Just like that, the most important clue to Xiao Lingxian was cut off, and there was no evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with Wang Yi’s report.
After weighing the pros and cons, the higher-ups had no choice but to send another researcher to replace Wang Yi and take over the project, while Wang Yi was transferred to another project.
It was a classified experiment in the field of biomedicine that was carried out in cooperation with the Central Hospital. It was a high-level confidential experiment.
Wang Yi was indeed here to take the experimental samples, and the frozen sealed boxes in the assistants’ hands were used to transfer the samples. However, this kind of thing was usually not told to others, but Wang Yi told Du Meilan everything. As long as it did not involve serious violation of discipline, he could say it.
If the higher-ups knew about this, they would probably cry themselves to death in the toilet. Who would have thought that Researcher Wang, who looked stern and extremely rational, was actually a love-struck person?
Su Ji suddenly remembered what Madam Du Meilan had said about getting her hair done after leaving the hospital.
She didn’t know if she was joking, but now she wanted to confirm it with her.
In the end, she wasn’t joking. She said she would go in a while and didn’t want to have lunch with them.
She wanted to look skinny on camera.
Wang Yi was listening at the side. He scratched his ear with his car key and suddenly remembered something. He said to Du Meilan, “I’ll send you there. Wait for me. I’ll be done taking samples soon.”
Su Ji looked at him.
Sure.
He was getting more and more proactive.
He was much more reliable than Mr. Si.
Du Meilan didn’t think it was necessary. “I’ll get my assistant to pick me up. She’ll be there soon.”
Pei Huai looked at the route on his phone. “Or I can send you. That hairdressing studio is on the way to where we’re eating…”
Su Ji’s gaze landed on him, and Pei Huai, who had not finished speaking, paused.
“Ah,” Du Meilan thought for a moment. “That’s fine too, then…” “I changed my mind.” Pei Huai’s expression changed in a second.
Du Meilan: ?
Pei Huai said, “you should think of a way yourself.”
Du Meilan:
What did she give birth to?
Su Ji helped him smooth things over, saying that she wanted to go back to the apartment for lunch and visit Xiao Tong.
There was a period of time when Pei Huai brought Xiao Tong back to the Pei family, thinking that it would be more convenient for them to take care of her.
However, after trying for a while, Xiao Tong and Pei Yuanyang did not get along at all. As soon as they met, they fought to the death. The feathers on Pei Yuanyang’s neck were scratched bald by Xiao Tong.
During that period of time, every time Pei Huai returned to the Pei family, Pei Yuanyang would flap her messy big wings and fly into his arms. She would bury her head under his arm and sulked.
Meanwhile, Little Tong was sunbathing on the balcony with his belly facing up. That was the territory he had just won against Pei Yuanyang. He was smug.
Pei Huai’s heart ached for Pei Yuanyang, and Su Ji’s heart ached for Xiao Tong. Pei Huai had no choice but to send Xiao Tong back to the apartment and raise the two separately.
Xiao Tong was temporarily taken care of by Aunt Gong, and Pei Huai and Su Ji would visit often.
Hearing Su Ji’s words, Pei Huai nodded. “It’s not on the way to the hairdressing studio.”
Wang Yi took the opportunity to make Du Meilan wait for him for a while, and then he sent Du Meilan to the hairdressing studio.
He owed Su Ji another favor.
Du Meilan had originally wanted her assistant to pick her up. She usually went through this process whether it was to socialize or go to the clubhouse. Her assistant was also used to being on call, but somehow it ended up like this. She looked at Su Ji and Pei Huai, then at Wang Yi.
After a while, she shook her head and smiled.
She really didn’t understand what these children were up to.
Since she was putting on a show, she had to do the whole thing. After getting into the car, Su Ji really got Pei Huai to drive in the direction of the apartment.
Pei Huai did what she wanted. Whether she was pregnant or not, her status in the family was the same.
Including the unborn child, Xiao Tong, and Pei Yuanyang, there were a total of five people in their family. Su Ji was the eldest and he was the fifth.
In the future, he would be their backer and their ATM. He was willing to be the fifth, if there was a chance to be the sixth or seventh…that was even better.
He canceled the private room he had just booked and called Aunt Gong instead. He told her about a few dishes, a soup, and two desserts. The desserts had to be bought from the shop he specified. One of them had to be immediately iced after buying it, and the other could only be kept in a preservation box. Those dishes were exquisite.
Aunt Gong took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
While he was doing this, Su Ji looked over at Wang Yi and Du Meilan.
The project that the research institute was working on with the Central Hospital…Su Ji rubbed her chin, intrigued.
She would find an opportunity to ask around. Professor Wang owed her a favor anyway.
At the same time, in the apartment…
