After seeing the doctor, Chu Yue wanted to leave directly, but Pei Hanchuan would not let her. He found various reasons to keep Chu Yue.
"Chu Yue, you helped me again, and you don't charge me, so can we have a cup of afternoon tea? Coffee, black tea, white tea, or Coke, Sprite, we have everything at home."
Pei Hanchuan invited her so warmly that Chu Yue couldn't refuse.
The most important thing is that Chu Yue could see that Pei Hanchuan had something to say to her.
She had just examined Pei Tianci, and now she also had to examine Pei Hanchuan. This man had a mental illness.
The place where the two of them had afternoon tea was arranged on the balcony on the side of Pei Tianci's room. There was a certain distance between them, but they could see Pei Tianci sleeping when they turned around, so they didn't have to worry about Pei Tianci waking up and not seeing them.
The afternoon tea consisted of black tea and muffins. The muffins were freshly baked, steaming hot, and drizzled with honey. They were sweet and soft, and not inferior to cream cakes.
Chu Yue took a bite and her eyes lit up. It was unexpectedly delicious.
Pei Tianci looked proud, "How is it? Not bad, right? This is a pastry chef that I hired for 100 yuan a month. He can not only make all kinds of cookies, but also pizza. You are welcome to come anytime you want to eat."
"Master Pei, you are too polite. My husband is a soldier. It would have a bad influence on him if I frequently went in and out of your house." Chu Yue politely declined.
Pei Hanchuan thought of Lu Zhanlin, whom he had met once. That cold man was just the head of a regiment and was not worthy of Chu Yue.
The competitive instinct in someone's heart is stirring.
However, when Chu Yue praised his black tea for being delicious, the inexplicable emotions in Pei Hanchuan's heart gradually disappeared.
What's more, he still has something hidden in his heart. As for Lu Zhanlin, let's talk about it later.
Pei Hanchuan looked back at Pei Tianci in the room, then looked at the beautiful garden outside the balcony. It was spring now, and the climate in the southwest was naturally suitable for all kinds of flowers and plants. A field of beautiful roses was blooming in the yard.
Pei Hanchuan took the teacup, took a sip of black tea, and said casually, "Chu Yue, are you really not curious about me or the Pei family?"
"What should I be curious about?" Chu Yue asked back.
Pei Hanchuan retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Yue again. The unruly look in his eyes completely disappeared at this moment, and instead became cold, sharp, and even a little cold.
It's like a different person.
Pei Hanchuan is no longer the one who would squat beside the coal stove in the grocery store, eating baked potatoes without any image.
Pei Hanchuan asked coldly, "I am so close to you, has no one ever mentioned the things about the Pei family to you? Aren't you curious about why I can become the young master of the Pei family? Aren't you curious about why my sister got divorced? Aren't you curious about why Tianci is the only heir of the Pei family for ten generations when I am here?"
His words were directed at Chu Yue forcefully, like an aggressive question.
Pei Hanchuan has heard too many of these words since he was a child. People who are close to him, or people who are close to him, will one day be unable to help but show curiosity and explore everything about the Pei family.
Even though their curiosity might not be malicious, every time it was brought up, it was like a torture to Pei Hanchuan.
This was the case in front of him, and the gossip behind his back was endless.
Pei Hanchuan can be said to not care now, but that thorn had long been pierced into his heart and has never been pulled out from beginning to end. He still feels a dull pain every time he thinks of it.
Among all the people, the only surprise was Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was not only not curious about the Pei family, she was not curious about him as a person. She always did her own thing and never stopped for others.
Instead, they would think Pei Hanchuan was getting in the way.
For example, last time, Pei Hanchuan offered to help Chu Yue deal with Liu Jinfeng, but Chu Yue flatly refused and asked Pei Hanchuan not to meddle in other people's business.
It was precisely Chu Yue's indifferent and distant attitude that caught Pei Hanchuan's attention.
He was so curious whether Chu Yue really didn't care or was just pretending not to care.
Chu Yue looked at Pei Hanchuan in front of her and spoke softly, "Pei Hanchuan, you said we are friends. Instead of hearing messy rumors from others, I would rather hear it from you yourself."
As she spoke, Chu Yue added black tea to Pei Hanchuan's cup. The steaming black tea could warm the stomach, and perhaps make Pei Hanchuan feel better.
"Pei Hanchuan, if you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen."
Chu Yue's words gently touched Pei Hanchuan's heart.
He didn't know why, but he felt that Chu Yue was very trustworthy, so he was willing to open his heart and tell her the secrets that he had kept in his heart for more than twenty years.
Pei Hanchuan said, "Chu Yue, I am actually the illegitimate child of the Pei family."
He raised his head, smiling with contempt and sarcasm on his face.
He continued to mock himself, "Calling me a bastard is a nice way of saying I'm a bastard that the Pei family didn't want. I should have drowned in the river a long time ago. It was my sister who saved me."
All the past events have to go back several decades and start with Pei Hanchuan's mother.
Pei Hanchuan's mother was a servant of the Pei family, and the Pei family always treated servants well. If she had been well-behaved, she could have lived a stable life in the Pei family, and then found a man she liked and married him. Perhaps her life would have been ordinary, but smooth.
But his mother was not satisfied with her ordinary life. After seeing the wealth of the Pei family, the seeds of jealousy took root in her heart, and greedy desires nurtured vicious ambitions.
She wanted to become the lady of the Pei family and be a superior person.
At that time, Master and Madam Pei were Pei Mingzhu's parents. Although Master and Madam Pei were a marriage between two families, they were young and affectionate, and their relationship was quite harmonious.
That year, Mrs. Pei gave birth to a daughter, Pei Mingzhu.
Because of an accident during the delivery process, Mrs. Pei suffered heavy bleeding and physical damage. The doctor said she would never be able to have children again.
Pei Hanchuan's mother was a servant who took care of Madam Pei during her confinement, so she heard what the doctor said to Mr. Pei.
She knew the opportunity had come!
The Pei family has a history of hundreds of years, from war to the founding of the country. No matter how the times change, the Pei family has always stood firm in the storm, which shows the huge size of the family business.
The Pei family actually has only one daughter.
The Madam cannot give birth to another child. The Master only has the Madam in his eyes and will never divorce her and remarry.
Is such a huge family business really going to be handed over to a little girl?
She's just a daughter. No matter how delicate she is, she still has to get married.
Once you marry someone, you become an outsider.
Where son is important.
The fortune teller calculated for her that she was destined to give birth to a son and become very rich and powerful.
After Pei Hanchuan's mother made up her mind, she began to seduce Master Pei frequently, especially when Madam Pei was in confinement after giving birth. She took advantage of her status as Madam Pei's close servant to get close to Master Pei again and again.
Because Mrs. Pei was unable to bear children and suffered physical damage during childbirth, she was unable to take care of her child and could not pay attention to things around her.
Mr. Pei was loyal to his marriage and turned a blind eye to her seduction. He even discovered her ulterior motives and wanted to kick her out.
On the last day after being kicked out of the Pei family, Pei Hanchuan's mother did something cruel.
She drugged Mr. Pei.
