Qin Nuan stammered and couldn't explain clearly; she just kept crying.
"She...she's my aunt, she...she's a bit fierce..."
Qin Yu held his daughter in his arms tenderly and gently patted her back.
"Nuan Nuan, be a good girl, tell your mom and dad slowly, how did your aunt scold you?"
However, no matter how much they asked, little Qin Nuan couldn't explain the whole story clearly. In fact, she herself was also confused. Why would Pei Nian, who was originally gentle and kind, suddenly wear a mask and stare at her with that kind of look?
Is it because she's sick that her aunt dislikes her?
Qin Nuan burst into tears, and due to her extreme weakness, she even began to cough. Seeing this, Qin Yu quickly carried her back to the ward, and the doctors and nurses didn't dare to delay in examining her.
Shao Xiaofei stood outside, dejected, leaning against the wall, wanting to cry but unable to.
After a while, Qin Yu came out from inside, looking at her with a hint of pity. He patted her shoulder, the two looked at each other, and then hugged tightly.
"Qin Yu, I...did I do something wrong?"
"No." Qin Yu took a deep breath and did not blame her.
She did all that a mother could do.
But her love for her daughter makes her prone to losing her temper.
"I've always thought Pei Shasha is very suspicious," Qin Yu said in a low voice. He looked at his toes, his mind a jumble of thoughts that had been running through his mind these past few days, and a question was growing stronger in his heart.
Pei Shasha's mother is Pei Hong, who is a human trafficker.
Then who is Pei Nian's human trafficker mother?
Qin Yu bit his lip. At this moment, he felt like he was walking in a maze, with paths in all directions, but he couldn't find the exit.
Just then, his phone rang. "President Qin, the matter has been taken care of."
"Hmm, how is it?"
"The prison replied that you can visit Ning Meng next weekend."
Qin Yu hung up the phone.
If all goes well, all the questions will be answered by the end of next week.

After persistent efforts and gentle persuasion, Huo Jingnan finally moved into Pei Nian's small apartment.
Huo Jingnan wasn't home that day, and Jiang Mianmian's sudden visit caught Pei Nian off guard and caused her a little panic.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Mianmian asked with a smile as she carried the bags inside. "You're looking at me like that, don't you recognize me?"
Pei Nian smiled awkwardly, quickly closed the door and followed her. However, Jiang Mianmian went to the bathroom to wash her hands. Pei Nian didn't have time to stop her. She saw Jiang Mianmian staring at the electric shaver on the shelf above the sink, and then turning back to look at it with a playful expression.
"Niannian," Jiang Mianmian said with a mischievous smile, "you... do you still need this?"
"I……"
Pei Nian blushed deeply, and since she couldn't lie, she could only lower her head.
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Junyu also has this brand of razor. So the Huo brothers all like to use this model?"
Pei Nian's face turned even redder.
Jiang Mianmian looked at her playfully, "It seems... I was too abrupt today and disturbed you two?"
"No, no!" Pei Nian hurriedly explained, "Jingnan went to the gym; today is his 'workout day.' And... and we don't live together..."
"Um?"
"We just live together, not together. We...we sleep in separate rooms!"
Pei Nian spoke these words with embarrassment but also with great seriousness, which made Jiang Mianmian laugh out loud.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Mianmian walked out breathlessly, and the two sat on the carpet in front of the sofa to chat. "By the way, you went to the hospital that day, didn't you? Didn't you say at the beginning that you weren't going to see Nuannuan? What, are you still worried about her?"
"What?" Pei Nian was taken aback.
"That was the day I took Yuan Yuan for her medical checkup!"
Pei Nian paused, a strange feeling suddenly rising in her heart.
