Chapter 166 Pei Jingyan is imprisoned
"The pregnant woman is showing signs of bleeding. We recommend that she be hospitalized for observation during this period. We have already notified her family."
In the corridor, the doctor said to Shen Lai.
Shen Lai nodded, "Okay, thank you doctor."
When Shen Lai returned to the ward, Gao Siqi was lying weakly on the bed. Her face was pale, and her hands were placed on her lower abdomen through the quilt. She looked less spoiled than usual.
Hearing footsteps, Gao Siqi turned around and saw Shen Lai walking in. She immediately turned her head to the other side as if she didn't like him.
Shen Lai came to the bed and stopped, looking down at her, "I have already notified your family to come over."
Gao Siqi snorted coldly, "Don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you helped me."
Shen Lai said calmly: "I'm not helping you, it's just because we are both mothers."
She picked up the handbag on the bedside table, "And you don't have to thank me, just get some rest."
After saying that, Shen Lai left the ward.
Gao Siqi then turned around to look at Shen Lai, watching her leave with her pregnant belly in her hand, and then thought of the scene where she had just called 120 for her, and she couldn't help but bite her lip.
Gao Siqi thought that Chen Lai was not that bad.
It was already dark when Shen Lai returned home. Pei Jingyan had been waiting for her at the dining table for most of the day. When he saw her come back, he said, "I heard from the bodyguard that you sent a pregnant woman to the hospital. What happened?"
Shen Lai told Pei Jingyan about the accident that happened to Gao Siqi that he had just encountered on the road.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows. "If you don't dislike her, why are you helping her?"
Shen Lai curled his lips and said, "Maybe I am also a mother. Besides, I can't just stand by and watch someone die."
And seeing Gao Siqi's appearance, Shen Lai couldn't help but think of the last time she almost had a miscarriage.
If she were lying there alone, she would definitely hope that someone could lend her a helping hand.
Besides, she had no grudge against Gao Siqi.
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up, "You're so kind, aren't you afraid that if something happens to her, she'll blame you?"
Shen Lai was heartless, "Don't you still have me?"
With Pei Jingyan around, who would dare to do anything to her?
Pei Jingyan seemed to be quite pleased with what he said. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said to Shen Lai, "Okay, let's eat quickly. The food is getting cold."
In the evening, Huo Chilin called Shen Lai to thank her for saving Gao Siqi during the day.
Before he could say a few words, the phone in Shen Lai's hand was snatched away by Pei Jingyan.
"Mr. Huo, instead of wasting time on making phone calls, you might as well stay in the hospital and take good care of your wife." Pei Jingyan's voice was cold, with a hint of dangerous warning.
After so many years, Huo Chilin has become accustomed to Pei Jingyan's sarcastic remarks.
At this time, you can still respond calmly: "In this case, I won't bother you anymore."
Pei Jingyan hung up the phone directly.
Shen Lai said helplessly: "He already has a wife, why do you care?"
After so many years, Pei Jingyan still holds a grudge against the fact that they were together. He quarrels with her every time they meet, wishing she would disappear from the world.
Pei Jingyan snorted coldly, "If he still knew that he was a married man, he should keep his distance from you."
Seeing that Pei Jingyan was unmoved, Chen Lai was too lazy to say anything more.
There is no need to hurt their relationship because of an outsider.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Lai is already seven months pregnant.
Pei Jingyan didn't come back that night. Shen Lai called him but no one answered, and he didn't reply to his message.
Although Pei Jingyan was busy in the past, he would reply to her messages after a while.
It's rare that I can't get in touch with you like I do now.
Thinking that Pei Jingyan might be busy, Shen Lai didn't disturb him and waited for him to come back in the living room.
While waiting, Shen Lai accidentally fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly a loud thunder roared outside the window. The deafening sound instantly woke Shen Lai up. She opened her eyes suddenly, her heart pounding, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
The living room was pitch black, and Shen Lai realized that he had fallen asleep in the rocking chair without knowing when, and half of the blanket on his body had slipped to the floor.
She looked up at the clock on the wall and saw it was already three o'clock.
Why hasn’t Pei Jingyan come back yet?
At this moment, the sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the quiet air.
Shen Lai picked up the phone and saw Pei Jingyan's assistant's phone number flashing on the screen.
The thunder outside the window continued, giving people a feeling of restlessness for no reason.
Shen Lai calmed himself down and answered the phone.
As soon as the call was connected, the assistant's panicked voice came from the other end of the line, "Madam, it's bad, President Pei is in jail."
With a "click", the phone in Shen Lai's hand slipped onto the carpet.
Her whole body was stiff, as if she was frozen in place.
When Shen Lai came to her senses, she quickly supported her waist and bent down with difficulty to pick up the phone. Even her voice was trembling, "What happened? Why was Pei Jingyan arrested?"
"Just now, a group of police suddenly rushed into the office and said that Mr. Pei was involved in a transnational money laundering group, so they took him away."
At this moment, lightning flashed outside the window, and Shen Lai's pale face was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window.
As soon as this happened, Shen Lingzhen and Chang Suning rushed to the Pei family overnight, fearing that something might happen to Shen Lai if he was stimulated.
I heard that the Pei family has sent people to inquire about the specific situation, and there should be news soon.
That night, Shen Lai lay in bed, tossing and turning but unable to sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Pei Jingyan being arrested by the police appeared before her.
"Lai Lai, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Chang Suning walked in holding a cup of water. Through the dim light, she saw Shen Lai staring at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.
Hearing the voice, Shen Lai came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I can't sleep."
Chang Suning came to sit beside the bed and touched Shen Lai's face distressedly, "Don't worry too much, Jing Yan's parents will never let anything happen to him."
Shen Lai nodded slightly.
Now she can only pin her hopes on Pei Jingyan's parents. They are powerful and will definitely find a way to get Pei Jingyan out.
"Okay, don't think about it. Maybe Jingyan will come out tomorrow." Chang Suning said, "Go to sleep quickly. You are pregnant now. Even if you can hold on, the baby in your belly can't."
Listening to her mother's words, Shen Lai looked down at her belly. Thinking of the baby in her belly, she took a deep breath and forced herself to close her eyes and sleep.
It was not until the second half of the night that sleepiness came upon me.
Shen Lai closed his eyes in a daze, but he still slept uneasily and kept dreaming.
In a trance, Shen Lai seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside.
She slowly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the door, and heard the footsteps becoming clearer and clearer.
Not an illusion?
Chen Lai's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that Pei Jingyan has returned?
She quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran to the door.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Lai met the eyes of Pei Kaifeng and Yin Ningjing outside.
