Chapter 147 He... Couldn't Be...



*****

After Shen Yu'nan led Pei Nian away, Dr. Zhang, after much deliberation, still made a phone call to Pei Wu.

"Hello."

Pei Wu has been taking time off these days. Except for meetings that she has to attend, she stays at home with Shao Sang.

However... she felt that Shao Sang seemed different from before, as if they had returned to the way they were before they confessed their feelings to each other. He was always respectful and obedient when facing her, and even when he looked at Pei Wu, he seemed timid and cowardly.

Because Pei Wu had a meeting she had to attend today, she was at the company when she answered the phone. The meeting had just ended, and the staff around her preparing to leave made it a bit noisy.

Dr. Zhang then tentatively asked Pei Wu, "President Pei, is it convenient for you to speak now?"

Pei Wu glanced at the departing employees before getting up and walking to the window. Diana always had floor-to-ceiling windows for a bright and airy feel. The sunlight outside was lovely today, and Pei Wu squinted slightly, feeling the glare.

She said, "Go ahead."

"Mr. Shen Yu Nan came to visit me today."

Pei Wu gave a soft "hmm" in response, her gaze remaining fixed on the documents in her hands.

Pei Wu had greeted Dr. Zhang after giving Shen Yu Nan her business card.

"If Secretary Shen goes to her for treatment, please ask her to take good care of him." That's what Pei Wu said to Dr. Zhang at the time.

Pei Wu felt as if her memory was distorted. The memories in her mind clearly belonged to the original owner, 'Pei Wu,' but whenever she inadvertently recalled them, those scenes of forcing the other person would appear in her mind.

Whether it's restraining the other person with both hands to force them to 'cry out', or repeatedly causing them to faint and then be forced back to consciousness...

It was as if she herself had done all these bad things, and she felt guilty when she thought about how the other person's health was deteriorating because of this.

This man named Shen Yu Nan is indeed pitiful. He is unloved by his father and mother, his whole family are bloodsuckers, and he even suffers endless humiliation from Miss Pei.

However, for Pei Wu, who was already married, this was the only thing she could do.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Zhang."

"...Yes," Dr. Zhang paused for a moment before continuing, "However, Mr. Shen brought a child with him today. I wonder if President Pei knows anything about this child."

"I don't know." Pei Wu still didn't look up; she was looking at the data on the document.

"This child is a boy... named Pei Nian, and he's three years old." After hearing Pei Wu's words, Dr. Zhang continued tentatively, "And the child looks quite similar to you." Only then did Pei Wu slowly raise her eyes.

After a moment of thought, I asked him, "He has a child who is about three years old... and even looks like me?"

"Yes, the child says his surname is Pei, and he is three years old this year. As for his appearance, I think he looks about eight or nine points like you, Mr. Pei."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wu's brows furrowed instantly.

She clearly understood what Dr. Zhang meant.

But she was also confused by what Dr. Zhang said.

"I'll hang up now."

"yes."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Wu could no longer look at the documents in her hands. Even though her game system was now unbound, no one knew better than her how much Shen Yu Nan hated the original owner. How could a man who hated the original owner and used every means to escape from her side be willing to bear a life for her and raise it alone?

No one understands his predicament better than Pei Wu. He has been completely drained by his family and is struggling to make ends meet himself. How could he possibly raise a three-year-old child?

Given Shen Yu Nan's loathing for the original owner, Pei Wu, he would probably only feel satisfied if he personally strangled her flesh and blood.

'This is so strange.'

Pei Wu unconsciously reached out and touched her chin.

Moreover, as a new mother, she felt helpless even with the help of a nanny these past few days, and it was still quite difficult. Shen Yu'nan simply didn't have the time or energy...

Yes, Pei Wu has the original owner's memories. In her memories, Shen Yu Nan was only sent abroad on official business for a few months when she first arrived in Diana. Apart from that, she had always been in her sight.

How could Shen Yu'nan, who is quite cunning and uses every means to leave Diana, have children and raise them for her enemy?

Pei Wu's mind raced as she quickly recalled her interactions with Shen Yu Nan.

After transmigrating into the body of the Pei family's young lady, Pei Wu didn't actually have much contact with her target. Apart from the initial affair when she first transmigrated, there were a few encounters guided by the system, conversations in the coffee shop, and the time she dealt with Gu Yanyu at Diana.

We met very infrequently, almost a handful of times.

***

After returning from the hospital, Shen Yu'nan took Pei Nian home. He habitually stood on the balcony and looked out at the Diana Building.

Their neighborhood is near Diana; from upstairs, it's just a few streets away.

He wasn't sure if Dr. Zhang would mention today's events to Pei Wu. So, he made two preparations: he had already sent photos of himself and Pei Nian to the Pei family's main residence.

In the photo, he is holding Pei Nian's hand as they cross the street. It looks like a candid shot. Back in Shao Sang, he knew that the head of the Pei family did not like Shen Yu Nan. However, the head of the Pei family valued his offspring, so he would not allow a child who might be his daughter to wander outside.

He had considered things deeply and knew Pei Wu well enough that when the Pei family or Pei Wu herself learned of the child's existence, they would definitely have someone investigate the child's background. Therefore, he had made thorough preparations and had already made arrangements with the private investigator that Pei Wu usually used before going to see Dr. Zhang.
