Chapter 146 Do you know each other?

Pei Yi had been paying attention to Jian Ning's condition. When he saw her suddenly stand up and her body sway, his hands reacted faster than his brain and he grabbed her slender waist.

Although his upbringing ingrained in him made him clench his fists the moment he touched her, in order not to offend the woman.

Pei Yi and Jian Ning were both stunned for a moment, then quickly took half a step back.

Pei Yi put his hands behind his back uncomfortably, his ears flushed, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Jian Ning's gaze paused at the tip of his ear, which was suspiciously red.

He looks like Aquaman and is quite innocent?

She shook her head slightly and was about to say it was okay when the door of the ward suddenly opened from the outside.

Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao came in from outside.

"sister."

"Brother Gu, sister-in-law."

Jian Yao and Pei Yi spoke at the same time, and then they were all stunned.

"Do you know each other?"

They spoke at the same time again, but this time, the ones speaking were Jian Ning and Pei Yi.

Jian Yao walked quickly to Jian Ning's side, held Jian Ning's hand, looked her up and down, and then looked at the wound on her forehead.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no major problems, he tilted his head and leaned it against his sister, then began to introduce himself to Pei Yi.

"Let me introduce you to my sister, Jian Ning."

After saying that, she turned to look at Jian Ning, "Sister, this is Pei Yi, A Yan's brother."

Pei Yi looked at Jian Yao, then at Jian Ning, and he seemed to be petrified.

Finally, he looked at Gu Zhiyan in disbelief, as if seeking confirmation of something.

Gu Zhiyan did not say anything, but took two steps towards Jian Yao and whispered, "Sister Ning."

These two simple words seem to say nothing, yet seem to say everything.

Pei Yi's body stiffened.

Jian Ning glanced at the young couple, touched Jian Yao's head, looked at Pei Yi leisurely, and took the initiative to extend his hand, "We didn't introduce each other just now, let's get to know each other again now."

"I'm Jian Ning. I should be older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister or Sister Ning together with Yaoyao."

Pei Yi looked at the hand in front of him and bit his back teeth.

The word "sister" turned around in her mouth several times but was not uttered out loud.

In the end, he just stretched out his hand stiffly and squeezed out two words dryly, "Pei Yi."

His strange behavior made Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao couldn't help but look at him twice more.

Pei Yi looked away, and the hand that had just supported Jian Ning's waist slowly loosened.

Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao came. Jian Ning knew that she couldn't leave today, so she simply sat down on the edge of the bed, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Uncle Li, then looked up at Jian Yao.

"I knew Uncle Li was unreliable. I told him not to inform you."

Jian Yao rubbed his head against Jian Ning and smiled ingratiatingly, "Uncle Li is doing this for your own good. You don't know how worried he was when he called me."

At this point, Jian Yao also looked at her sister with eyes wide open in reproach, "How dare you talk about Uncle Li? If it weren't for Uncle Li, I wouldn't even know that you had a car accident."

There are only her and her elder sister left in the Jian family. If anything happens to her elder sister, Jian Yao doesn't know what to do.

Being looked at with such a worried gaze, even someone as mentally strong as Jian Ning hesitated a bit, and paused for a moment before speaking.

"Uncle Li was just trying to scare you. It wasn't a car accident. I just got a little skin broken."

She pointed to her forehead and showed it to Jian Yao, as if to prove her words.

Pei Yi, who had been silent, spoke up, "It's not serious, just a slight concussion."

"If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in a hurry to go to the company to sign the contract!"

This tone sounds strange.

There was silence in the room.

The moment Jian Ning heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yi.

Those amorous peach blossom eyes were outlined with eyeliner, and when they were squinted, they were very intimidating.

Pei Yi looked back into her eyes. Not only was he not scared, he even raised his eyebrows, showing no sign of weakness.

Jian Yao looked at her sister, then at Pei Yi.

I always feel like something is wrong with both of them today.

My sister is usually very serious and it's rare to see such a vivid expression on her face.

The same goes for Pei Yi. Although we haven't met many times, he is still quite aloof in front of people he doesn't know well.

Could it be that the two had a conflict over the car accident before they arrived?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

Gu Zhiyan was the first to break the silence, lowering his eyes to look at Jian Yao, "You talk to Sister Ning first, I'll go ask the doctor for the details."

After Jian Yao nodded, Gu Zhiyan walked out and Pei Yi followed with interest.

In the corridor outside the ward, Pei Yi quickly followed Gu Zhiyan's footsteps, "Brother Gu, are you really going to ask the doctor?"

He thought that Brother Gu was deliberately giving his sister-in-law and...her some space to talk, and hurriedly explained.

"It's not a big problem actually. The doctor said I can go home after two days of observation in the hospital, but I need to rest for a few months."

Gu Zhiyan finally stopped walking at the end of the corridor and turned to look at Pei Yi. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Pei Yi had guessed that he would ask this question, so he briefly outlined what had happened.

After a moment.

Pei Yi took a deep breath and said, "That's it."

"I didn't expect she was my sister-in-law's elder sister."

He and Brother Gu were not in the same high school, and Jian Ning went abroad to study in college, so their schedules were perfectly mismatched.

Later, Brother Gu and his wife got engaged quite suddenly. Their table was full of young people and they were sitting off to the side, so they didn’t bump into each other at all.

So, he had no idea that she was his sister-in-law's elder sister.

Logically, he should have followed Brother Gu and Sister-in-law and called her sister.

He never gives way to gossip in such interpersonal relationships.

But I don’t know what happened today.

He couldn't shout, nor did he want to shout.

What is this that Gu Zhiyan wants to ask?

What he asked was what happened to Pei Yi today. The words he just said were not something he would normally say.

But seeing that he looked uneasy, and considering that he had just had an accident today and was in an unstable mood, I did not continue to ask.

He raised his hand and patted Pei Yi on the shoulder. "It's okay. We are all family. You don't have to feel pressured."

Jian Ning's injuries were not serious, but for safety reasons, we should find another expert to take a look.

Gu Zhiyan took out his cell phone and was about to ask Assistant Xu to arrange for someone to come over when he saw through the glass window at the end of the corridor that a group of people downstairs were pushing a patient into the emergency building in a hurry.

They also knew the emergency room patient who appeared to be unconscious.

The old man of the Lu family.
