Chapter 175: Now This Is What a Member of the Pei Family Should Be Like

"Huanhuan, that's not what I meant."

“You are my sister. Why would I risk my life to save you just because I need to talk to you about something?”

Pei Yuli's voice was very low, even weak.

Sitting on the hospital bed, draped in the white blanket, she was as fragile as a snowflake in winter, melting into water at the slightest touch of warmth.

Xu Yihuan's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone softened unconsciously: "Whatever you want, you can send me your medical expenses and follow-up costs."

“I can get reimbursed.”

Xu Yihuan's delicate face was pale, and she spoke with great seriousness.

It's like a tiny person facing an unreasonable adult.

Pei Yuli found it rather cute.

The corners of her mouth wanted to turn up, but she consciously suppressed them.

Using a coaxing tone for a child: "Okay, I understand."

Tan Zhixu sat next to Xu Yihuan without saying a word.

Xu Yihuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Pei Yuli looked at Xu Yihuan's figure with gentle eyes.

For a moment, I even thought that this was pretty good.

He was getting tired of arguing with Xu Yihuan over the years.

But all these thoughts vanished the moment Jiang Tingbai's words echoed in his mind.

No matter what, even if Xu Yihuan has a good relationship with me now, if she finds out later that I was the one who caused her injury, will she still have such a good relationship with me?

Pei Yuli felt a pang of pain in his heart for a moment, his smile faded, and he watched Xu Yihuan stand up.

Before the person could even leave, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Xu Yihuan paused, and everyone's eyes fell on the doorway.

The first thing that appeared was a completely unfamiliar face.

His aged face was serious, and his somewhat cloudy eyes revealed shrewdness.

She was leaning on a cane, with Pei Yutang carefully supporting her.

The moment their eyes met, Xu Yihuan's heart skipped a beat, and she recognized who it was almost instantly.

Neither of them spoke first.

Finally, Pei Yuli said softly, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu finally looked at the newcomer properly.

Is this the old man from the Pei family?

Tan Zhixu cautiously stepped closer to Xu Yihuan.

Grandpa Pei acted as if he didn't see them, and walked straight past the two of them into the house.

"How did it get like this?"

"It was an accident, nothing serious." Pei Yuli gave a weak smile.

"Brother Ali, look at your injuries, look what you've done to yourself."

"If you ask me, you shouldn't have been so kind as to help others. Now look at them, they don't even seem to want to thank you!" Pei Yutang glanced at Xu Yihuan and said meaningfully.

She had long regarded Pei Yuli as her own brother, so seeing him so badly injured while saving Xu Yihuan naturally made her unhappy.

"Alright, Tangtang, it was just an accident. It's already great that you came to see your brother. Let your brother see what you brought." Pei Yuli's smile became a little flat as he casually changed the subject.

Pei Yutang was also carrying a thermos box, presumably a supplement for Pei Yuli.

Pei Yutang then smiled and walked over again.

Open the insulated box and serve soup to Pei Yuli.

Xu Yihuan frowned, too lazy to watch their one-woman show any longer, and turned to leave.

Pei Yutang was unwilling to let her leave. Xu Yihuan had only taken two steps when she heard Pei Yutang's voice.

"Your brother got injured saving you, and you don't even show any gratitude?" Pei Yutang's voice was sharp, and her words sounded rather harsh.

Xu Yihuan frowned, without turning around, and said coldly, "I will cover the medical expenses, recuperation expenses, and even compensation for emotional distress. Just tell me how much you want."

"But if you expect me to have nothing better to do than come and deliver chicken soup to Pei Yuli every day, then you're dreaming. I'm not a nanny."

Why waste energy on things that can be solved with money?

Xu Yihuan's tone was sharp and piercing, like it was carrying a knife.

Pei Yuli's face turned pale, and he looked at Xu Yihuan in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to say such outrageous things.

Pei Yuli had no idea that Xu Yihuan had learned these words from him.

In her past life, Xu Yihuan asked him to help her estimate her scores and decide which university to apply to.

While helping Wu Qingqing, Pei Yuli also kindly transferred 1,000 yuan to Xu Yihuan.

He said coldly, "Why don't you just ask someone yourself? Why waste my energy on something that can be solved with money?"

A thousand dollars can't buy you anything.

Xu Yihuan is already quite generous to be willing to spend so much money.

Tan Zhixu immediately joined the discussion, mocking, "That's right, Huanhuan's energy is precious, how could she possibly waste it on you guys?"

"Just tell me how much money you want, and I'll transfer it to you. I look down on you for beating around the bush like this."

After saying that, Tan Zhixu put his arm around Xu Yihuan and turned to leave.

All that's left for everyone is their backs.

Pei Yutang was quite angry at his words. It sounded as if they were trying to extort money from people because they were broke!

That's ridiculous. Do you think the Pei family, with its huge resources, would be short of money?

She even calls herself a nanny; I think she's the nanny!

Pei Yutang was furious.

"Grandpa, look at them..."

Before she could finish speaking, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of admiration in Old Master Pei's eyes.

My heart skipped a beat.

That old geezer, I knew he had no heart, but I never expected him to react like this on the very first meeting with Xu Yihuan.

In that case, she absolutely cannot allow Pei Yi'an to regain her memories...

But just yesterday, that person told her that the clues they had just found about the hypnotist had vanished into thin air...

Pei Yutang pursed her lips, looking at Old Master Pei, her heart beating faster.

Pei Yuli lowered his head, and his hand holding the soup bowl loosened involuntarily as if it had been burned.

The soup bowl was knocked over on the bed. Pei Yutang exclaimed in surprise and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it up.

While muttering, "How did it suddenly spill? Brother Ali, be careful!"

Old Master Pei's gaze swept over Pei Yuli and Pei Yutang twice, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What are you guys doing? A simple matter that could be resolved by calling a nurse, why do you have to ruin someone else's job?"

This statement is similar to what Xu Yihuan just said.

Pei Yuli was stunned for a moment and looked at Old Master Pei.

Xu Yihuan walked down the corridor, a mocking expression on her delicate, pale face.

Her body was as thin as a sheet of paper as she walked step by step toward the door.

Even though the scenery before her was bright and clear, it was as if she couldn't see the road ahead at all.

Although the events of her past life happened a long time ago, they still linger like a thorn, deeply embedded in Xu Yihuan's heart.

As Tan Zhixu held Xu Yihuan's hand, he inexplicably felt the temperature of her hand getting lower and lower, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"Huanhuan".

There were two distinct voices, one beside me and the other ahead.

Xu Yihuan froze, looked up, and stared ahead.

A slender figure blocked out the light in the doorway and appeared before him.

Pei Yi'an walked quickly past Xu Yihuan.
