Chapter 80: Hows your injury?

  One intoxicating delight, Pei Shao lures away Xiao Man's wife sodu

  Ye Anning's eyes were hazy, the pool of blood on the ground stimulating her nerves. She remembered how he had tightly wrapped his arms around her to protect her earlier. If it weren't for him, she would be the one lying on the ground now.

  She hastily wanted to follow up, Chu Qiao pushed her away with one hand and slapped a slap on her face. "Don't follow me, you're a scourge!"

  Ye Anning's face was burning with pain, not because Chu Qiao had given her a slap in public, but because what she said was true. She really was a troublemaker, and if it weren't for her, Pei Jun wouldn't have been so seriously injured.

  She hung her head, tears of self-reproach welling up in her eyes, not uttering a word to defend herself or seeking forgiveness, she just bit her lip and remained silent.

  Chu Qiao saw her like this, the more angry she became in her heart, and raised her hand to slap again. Tian Xin suddenly dodged to the front to block her, "Chu Qiao, that's enough! No one wants something like this to happen!"

  Chu Qiao's tears flowed down, biting her lip, her eyes full of heartache, pointing at Ye Anning and saying miserably, "If it wasn't for her, Jun wouldn't have gotten hurt, she's just a jinx."

  Ling You effortlessly grasped her raised wrist and said calmly, "Third Brother has already been sent to the hospital, aren't you going to accompany him?"

  Chu Qiao seemed to have realized something and glared at Ye Anning with anger, then hastily lifted her skirt and ran out.

  Ye Anning again showed a strong and desolate expression, Tian Xinnian knew that she was hurt by Chu Qiao's words, so he hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly in her ear, "This is not your fault, it really has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself, okay? I think Pei Jun saved you because he didn't want you to get hurt, he definitely wouldn't want you to be sad because of him either. Actually, he's quite good to you, isn't he? Why bother creating conflict? Let's go to the hospital and see him, later you can have a good talk with him, and everything will be fine again, okay?" Tian Xinnian softly advised her, she always thought that Pei Jun was a cold person but he was really good to Ye Anning, it was usually women serving men, but here it was the opposite. She didn't dare to imagine a man like Pei Jun wearing casual clothes and busy with household chores, Anning's heart was too bitter. She had always hoped to have a man who would treat her as a treasure and take care of her, Tian Xinnian thought that Pei Jun was such an existence.

  Ye Anning shook her head and pulled on her arm, "You go help me take a look, I don't trust anyone else."

  "Aren't you going?"

  She shook her head, she didn't have the face to go, just as Chu Qiao said, whether it was intentional or not, but it was all because of him that he got hurt, and he had also waved away her hand earlier, he should be unwilling to see her.

  Looking at her red eyes, Tian Xinnian didn't want to make things difficult for her either. "Alright, I'll go take a look, don't worry, wait for my call." After finishing speaking, Tian Xinnian left and saw Yin Yifeng returning at the door. This was the anniversary celebration of the Yin family, so he naturally couldn't leave. "I'll go take a look."

  Yin Yifeng nodded and ordered his men to send her to the hospital.

  Ye Anning stood alone, surrounded by people with malicious gazes, some admiring, some sarcastic, some jealous and some resentful. She was like a small boat drifting in the vast ocean, solitary and forlorn, enduring the raging storm, her figure gaunt and desolate.

  Ling You let out a sigh, his arm hooked around her shoulder, and exchanged a glance with Yin Yifeng before turning to take her to the guest room upstairs to change clothes. Her body had already been splashed with wine and looked quite disheveled.

  Ye Anning followed him mechanically with her head down from start to finish, the sound of shattering glass and his muffled groan after being stabbed by shards still echoing in her ears.

  So much blood, he must have been in so much pain.

  Ling Yu stuffed the clothes handed over by his subordinates into her hands and pushed her into the guest room, "Third, it's nothing to worry about, that little injury doesn't count for anything, she's been shot several times already."

  An Ning slowly raised her head, still somewhat dazed and confused, staring blankly at him, "What did you say?"

  Ling Yu suddenly realized that he had said too much and impatiently said, "You're being too meticulous, hurry up."

  He said, pushing her in and closing the door.

  She came out after changing her clothes, and Ling You's eyes scanned her up and down, stroking his chin as if he was considering something, saying "Your figure is indeed not bad, if one day you get tired of Lao San, come find me, I'll keep you like a pet."

  Anning knew he was joking with her, but "Don't you hate me?"

  "Why should I hate you?"

  "It's because of me that Pei Jun got hurt so badly."

  "What a joke, that little injury doesn't count for anything. Besides, wasn't it what he wanted? Believe me, Old Three was just pretending to be pitiful in front of you. The hero saving the beauty plot is something I've long been disdainful of using." A glint flashed through Ling Yu's eyes, "Old Three, don't blame brother for being heartless. Who told you not to respect your elders and care for the young? The wound on my chest still hurts to this day." "Alright, hurry up and get out, I'll go check if he's dead or not."

  Anning frowned slightly and looked at him with some displeasure. How did this guy do it? Every time he opened his mouth, it was all about death. She really wondered if he and Pei Jun were good brothers after all.

  When she left, the party was as harmonious as if nothing had happened. There wasn't even a single shard of glass or a drop of wine on the floor. People were chatting warmly, and after so many years of struggling in the business world, everyone was already familiar with this kind of thing, except for her, who still hadn't gotten used to this kind of disguise.

  Ye Qingyun actually said he wanted to leave first, which made her a little surprised. This was an opportunity that came once in a lifetime, and everyone present tonight were big shots in the business world. Winning over any one of them would make for a lucrative partnership in the future. Yet, he actually asked to leave first. However, she also had some suspicions in her heart.

  "Get on." Ye Qingyun's clear and cold voice dispersed in the wind.

  Ye Anning pursed her lips in resistance, she didn't want to go back to that home again.

  Ye Qingyun seemed to see through her thoughts, a flash of indifference in his eyes. "Get on the car, we'll talk about the Snow Pine Garden issue."

  When beating a snake, hit it seven inches below the head. Ye Qingyun, this uncultured person, is surprisingly successful in the business world because of his despicable tactics, always able to accurately and ruthlessly grasp others' weaknesses.

  Xue Song Yuan...

  Anning had no choice but to compromise and got on the car.

  "What exactly happened just now? Why didn't you follow her to the hospital?" Ye Qingyun asked in a bad tone.

  "I don't know what's going on either, maybe Ye Mingzhu will know." Anning said calmly.

  "Anning, what do you mean by this? I've always been dancing with Yicheng, how can you wrong me like this?" Ye Mingzhu said with a pained expression. Qiao Yun hurried over to comfort her, "Anning, you're really something. Mingzhu often mentions you and misses you, but you go and dump all sorts of dirty things on her head. She's your sister, after all. If you have any grievances, just vent them at me, but Mingzhu is your own flesh and blood sister."

  Her expression was calm and cold, her eyes fixed on the teacup on the coffee table, without any interest in watching their performance of mother-daughter affection. Just now, someone had clearly pushed her intentionally, that force was so strong, it wasn't just a chaotic push. Apart from Ye Mingzhu herself, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would like to see her dead. Besides, Ye Mingzhu was used to having others do things for her, why would she need to take action herself?

  Qiao Yun and her mother performed a tragic play for half a day, but Ye Anning didn't react at all. Instead, they were left not knowing how to continue the act. On the other hand, Ye Qingyun coldly shouted, "Shut up, both of you!"

  "Anning, it's all because of you that Pei Jun got hurt. Tomorrow, you personally go to the hospital and bring him some soup. From this matter, your father has also seen it, he is sincere towards you. In the past, didn't you always want to be with him? This time, I won't oppose it anymore." Ye Qingyun's voice was low and filled with rare affection.

  Anning smiled lightly and said calmly, "We've already broken up. Actually, I was deceiving you all along. He and I were never boyfriend and girlfriend to begin with."

  How could she not see what Ye Qingyun was up to, but precisely because she knew him, she wouldn't let him get away with it.

  "It's not a boyfriend, but you can also make them become boyfriends. I'm very satisfied with him. You must hold on to him tightly for me. Dads are all for your own good! Later you will know, as for the little model by his side, don't worry about it, I'll handle it naturally."

  An Ning looked at him with a loving expression, but only felt ridiculous and asked mockingly, "Dad, if Pei Jun didn't have any other identity, he would be an intern doctor who has nothing. If he had no relationship with Yin Yifeng, would you still agree to let me date him?"

  "What do you mean by this!!" Ye Qingyun's face turned red with each word she spoke.

  "You won't deny it, right? You just think he might have a noble identity that's unknown to others. Even if not, with his relationship with Yin Yifeng, you can still get the opportunity to cooperate with the Yin family by association. Am I right?" Ye Anning's voice was light and gentle, but anyone could hear the bitterness and desolation behind her words.

  "Right! You're not wrong, I found out for the first time that my second daughter is also not a pig head! She's grown a human brain too." Ye Qingyun was so angry and embarrassed by what she said that she started scolding and shouting, "What's wrong with this? It's good for you and the company, killing two birds with one stone. I'll let you find someone rich and powerful, so your second half of life will be worry-free about food and clothing. What's wrong with that?"

  What Ye Qingyun said was a matter of course, but not everyone regarded money as more important than anything else like him.

  The father in front of her was no longer a disappointment to Anning, "Am I only useful to you for the benefits I can bring?"

  Ye Qingyun sneered coldly, "From childhood to adulthood, which point of wearing gold and silver on your body did I lack compared to you? Don't you think this is the time for you to repay me?"

  Ye Anning's already tenuous familial bond was completely shattered by Ye Qingyun's words, and she bit back the bitterness in her heart, saying coldly, "Fine, I have a question for you. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I'll agree to it."

  "You say." Ye Qingyun glanced at her with the corner of his eye.

  "My mother... how did she really die?" She looked at Ye Qingyun with questioning eyes, and Ye Qingyun's eyebrows furrowed in distaste, his face full of disgust. "What's the point of bringing her up again? It's been so many years since she died, it's really unlucky!"

  Ye Anning's heart was bleeding, this was the man her mother loved, from the diary she could see that even though he had always been bad to her, but in her mother's heart there was always him, however, he only had a heart full of disgust for his mother, if her mother knew about it, she would probably cry tears of blood even after death.

  "Auntie, do you know how my mother died?" Ye Anning turned her head and asked Qiao Yun.

  Qiao Yun was shocked, suddenly standing up from the sofa, her eyes wide with anger. "What do you mean by this? Why are you asking me? Your mother jumped to her death herself, didn't you know that? You just wronged Mingzhu, and now you're going to wrong me too?"

  "Auntie, I haven't said anything yet! What are you getting excited about?"

  Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun also realized that her reaction was a bit excessive and sat back down. "What's there to be excited about? I know you've never gotten along with my mother and me. I'm afraid you'll pin the blame on me again, and I won't be able to take it."

  Anning's inquiring gaze looked at her, always feeling that it was not as simple as Qiao Yun said.

  "It's been so many years since she died, what's the point of bringing her up again? Your current task is to take down Pei Jun for me, do you understand?" Ye Qingyun commanded coldly, and Yang Xuesong's eyes were filled with disgust.

  Anning felt sad that her mother liked such a man, "I couldn't do it, he and I have been nothing all along, today he asked me just by coincidence, he told me to get out of his sight in the future, don't appear in front of him again, he said he was disgusted with me."

  She could only say that, she knew Ye Qingyun just wanted to take advantage of her relationship with Pei Jun to gain benefits from him, and she wouldn't let him succeed. Moreover, what she said wasn't entirely false, they had indeed cut off their ties already. In fact, there was never a clear relationship between them in the first place.

  Ye Qingyun narrowed her eyes, a glint of sharpness flashing in them. "Alright, since you put it that way, I have no choice either. It's getting late, you go back first."

  Ye Qingyun actually let her off so easily? Anning looked at him in surprise, "Then Snow Pine Garden won't make a move either?"

  "Anyway, recently Ye didn't take on any big projects. If he still can't find a partner, then I won't dare to guarantee it either. But for now, it's temporarily not moving." After finishing speaking, Ye Qingyun impatiently walked upstairs.

  Yan Ning returned only for Xue Song Garden, now knowing that Ye Qingyun would not move it temporarily, she was relieved. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Qiao Yun suddenly asked, "An Ning, why did you suddenly ask about your mother's affairs today?"

  "Can't I mention it?" She felt that Qiao Yun's reaction was really strange today. 17130345

  "What's your attitude? Don't you know that what your father hates the most is hearing your mother's name? From now on, it's better if you mention her less, lest you provoke disgust." Qiao Yun said coldly.

  Anning bit her lip tightly and didn't speak until half a minute later. "I suspect that my mother did not jump off the building voluntarily."

  Qiao Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, "Do you have evidence?"

  "Not yet."

  Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun immediately let out a sigh of relief, "What nonsense are you spouting without me around?"

  Anning looked at her with determination in his eyes, "I just don't have evidence yet, but I will keep investigating, I believe that one day the truth will come to light, and those who hurt my mother, I won't let a single one of them go."

  Anning left the Ye's house after finishing speaking, and her phone rang at this time, it was Tian Xinnian.

  "Pei Jun is fine, the doctor has already removed the fragments from his body, don't worry." Tian Xin Nian called her as soon as he left the hospital, afraid that she would be worried.

  Anning let out a sigh of relief, "It's all right then."

  Tian Xin Nian heard her voice from that side was somewhat empty, "Where are you?"

  "I just came out of Ye's house." Her emotions were extremely low, and her voice also sank.

  Tian Xin's expression changed as soon as he heard this. "You're at the Ye residence? Are you okay, were you hurt? Wait for me, I'll come pick you up right away."

  Hearing her sister's concerned voice, Anning's heart found a warmth in the cold night. It was already very late, and if she had to walk alone, she didn't know how long it would take.

  Ye Anning had always thought that Ye Qingyun was a ruthless businessman, and since he had set his sights on Pei Jun, it was impossible for him to give up easily. However, many days had passed and he hadn't even called to bother her, which made Anning extremely puzzled - had he changed his ways?

  On Saturday, Anning found a private detective agency. She was really at a loss and could only hope that they would be able to help her. After all, it had been so many years and there were no clues at all. The most important thing was that she was too young at the time and didn't remember anything, not even which mental hospital her mother was in. So she had to rely on them.

  She walked out of the detective agency and strolled along the street. She didn't drive today, so she thought she'd take a walk. She also wondered how his injury was doing?

  She didn't dare to call him, only knowing from Tian Xin Nian that he was fine. She still remembered the way he pushed her away that day, he must think she's a troublemaker, right?

  Yes, from young to old, she has always been a jinx, as all sorts of accidents keep happening around her.

  Outside the seafood restaurant, she unexpectedly saw a familiar car, but she wasn't sure if it was Pei Jun's because she had never noticed his license plate number before. Just as she was wondering, Pei Jun walked out from inside.

  He naturally also saw her, his tense face flashed a hint of stunned expression, then shifted his gaze away, his face icy and abnormal.

  She pursed her lips and still gritted her teeth as she walked over, "Your injury... is it okay?"

  Bai Jun glanced at her sideways, his tone cold as ice, "Do I know you?" After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at her and walked past her towards the car.

  Anning took a deep breath, still angry with her, gritted her teeth and followed up, "Your wound hasn't healed yet, right? You can't eat seafood when you're injured, how...".

  "Are you annoying?!" Pei Jun glared at her discontentedly, "I think I've said it before, don't appear in front of me again. Can't you understand human language? Miss, we're not close at all."

  Anning looked at his cold face and thought that this man was too weird. "Can I apologize? It was my fault the other day."

  "It's okay." Pei Jun opened the car door and was about to get in, but An Ning hurriedly pressed against the car door. "I'm really apologizing to you."

  Pei Jun had just turned around when Chu Qiao rushed out of the seafood building, and saw a flash of displeasure in Ye Anning's eyes. "Jun, why didn't you call me when you came out? You made me search for you."

  Chu Qiao's little woman stomped her foot, looking delicate and lovely.

  "What are you doing?" She asked with feigned ignorance, staring at the strange scene in front of her.

  Ye Anning's hands stiffened, and she quickly released the car door handle, took a step back, "Sorry to disturb you, and thank you for saving me that day." After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran away without looking back.

  Her footsteps were a bit disordered, she was so embarrassed, how could she be so arrogant to think that he was just being stubborn with her? In fact, the truth is exactly as he said, he didn't want to see her again. No wonder, Chu Qiao was so beautiful, if it were her, she wouldn't want to let go of such a beauty and get entangled with other unimportant people either.

  Yan Ning, you should be more careful in the future!

  Pei Jun's icy black eyes stared at her back, his gaze even more sharp and cold. He tightened his grip on the car door handle, got in and slammed the door shut with a bang.

  Just now, she was still in a grateful and respectful manner, but now she is afraid to avoid it. What apology, she didn't have any sincerity at all. Otherwise, why didn't she even show up during his hospitalization these few days? What's the point of saying sorry or thank you, does he care about these things?!

  Chu Qiao followed his line of sight, until the thin figure disappeared around the street corner, before he started the car. She sensed that his mood was not good, was it because of that woman just now?

  Chu Qiao knew that at this time she should be quiet as air, but she just couldn't help it, unwilling to accept that after working so hard for so long she was still nothing, while Ye Anning could so easily affect his emotions.

  She leaned in close, her voice soft and gentle as she said, "Jun, why don't you come to my place? You're injured, let me take care of you."

  "There was no ripple in his eyes except for a hint of indifference. 'I'm not interested today, get off and go back by yourself.'"

  Chu Qiao's eyes flashed with reluctance, her soft little hands reached out to his chest, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Go, go, I really miss you, and I'm not at ease with you like this either?"
