Chapter 171 Discovering that my mother had cheated on me
Pei Nianzhao was sent to the hospital overnight.
The doctor said that he was confused due to hypoglycemia and needed to be hospitalized for observation.
Looking at Pei Nianzhao lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, Shen Lai couldn't help but blame Pei Jingyan, "It's all your fault. You insisted on breaking up the two of us. Now you're fine, your son is in the hospital!"
Pei Jingyan's expression was somewhat solemn.
How did he know the situation would be so serious?
Pei Chuxia also received the news and rushed over. She was busy with internship recently and had not been home for a long time.
When Pei Chuxia learned that it was because of Pei Nianzhao's love affair that caused such a mess, she was speechless. "Dad, those are all the grudges between you older generations. What does it have to do with the younger generation?"
"Besides, I've met that girl. She's quite nice. Although her family is rich, she's not spoiled at all and is very polite."
Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes, catching the key point from this sentence, "So, you already knew that your brother and Huo Xinyu were together?"
Pei Chuxia's eyes flickered, "Um... well, I'll go in and see Nian Zhao first."
After saying that, he slipped away.
Pei Jingyan's face didn't look good.
Even Pei Chuxia knew about Pei Nianzhao's relationship, but he was the last one to find out.
"Look, Xia Xia said that girl is a nice person." Shen Lai couldn't help but say, "Don't be too prejudiced against others. You haven't even met her yet."
Pei Jingyan snorted coldly, "What good can the people of Huo Chilin's family be?"
Seeing Pei Jingyan's prejudice against the Huo family, Shen Lai was helpless.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Nianzhao finally woke up.
Seeing Pei Jingyan sitting in front of the hospital bed, Pei Nianzhao snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side, obviously not wanting to talk to Pei Jingyan.
Shen Lai said distressedly: “Son, are you hungry? Why don’t you eat something first?”
Pei Nianzhao was still sulking, and said weakly, "If you don't let me be with Xinyu, I won't eat."
Seeing Pei Jingyan frowning and about to say something, Shen Lai was worried that he would irritate the other party again, so he quickly pulled Pei Jingyan aside and said in a low voice: "You asked Nian Zhao to break up now, but he won't listen. Instead, he will hate you. Why bother?"
Pei Jingyan narrowed his eyes, "So are you going to let me watch them together?"
Shen Lai persuaded: "The more you try to stop them, the more they will be together. You might as well leave it alone. Who knows, they might break up someday."
Seeing Shen Lai looking at him seriously, Pei Jingyan glanced at Pei Nianzhao's pale face again.
Thinking of what the doctor had just said, that if Pei Nianzhao continued to go on a hunger strike, his health would be in trouble, his firm attitude finally wavered.
Shen Lai tried his best to persuade Pei Jingyan, and he finally gave in. "I can let you be with the girl from the Huo family."
Upon hearing this, Pei Nianzhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before he could say anything, Pei Jingyan interrupted, "But there is a prerequisite."
Pei Nianzhao showed a puzzled look, "What premise?"
Pei Jingyan said slowly: "The prerequisite is that you can be admitted to a key university in this city next year."
Pei Nianzhao has been unlearned since childhood, and his grades were even in the middle to lower levels after entering high school. It was extremely difficult for him to be admitted to a key university within a year.
As expected, Pei Nianzhao frowned when he heard this.
Seeing his expression, Pei Jingyan's mouth revealed a hint of sarcasm, "Why? Can't do it?"
"If you can't even do this, don't even mention how much you love her."
Pei Nianzhao seemed to be provoked and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I promise you!"
Pei Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've made up my mind." Pei Nianzhao said with a determined look, "I will definitely be able to get into a key university!"
Shen Lai quickly said, "Son, can you eat now?"
Seeing Pei Jingyan give in, Pei Nianzhao finally agreed to eat.
It was originally thought that with Pei Nianzhao's mediocre grades, he would definitely not be able to get into a key university, so Pei Jingyan would have an excuse to break up the two.
Unexpectedly, after Pei Nianzhao was discharged from the hospital, he seemed like a different person. He began to work hard and not only asked Shen Lai to hire a tutor for him to improve his grades, but also studied until late at night every day.
After a few tries, he actually managed to get into a key university.
Now Pei Jingyan no longer had any reason to stop the two from being together.
However, he did not take the two children's playful relationship seriously. Perhaps after the honeymoon period was over, the two would naturally break up.
How could a daughter born to a playboy like Huo Chilin be loyal?
However, Pei Jingyan underestimated their feelings. Not only did Pei Nianzhao and Huo Xinyu not break up, they eventually got married.
But that’s a story for later.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Nianzhao went to college, and Pei Chuxia also joined the Pei Group and started learning from the grassroots level.
That day, the brother and sister made an appointment to go out for dinner in the evening and chose a French restaurant near the company.
The waiter led the two to their seats. At this time, Pei Nianzhao seemed to see something and suddenly bumped Pei Chuxia's arm with his arm, "Hey, sister, isn't that our mother?"
Pei Chuxia looked in the direction Pei Nianzhao pointed, and sure enough, she saw her mother appear not far away, with a strange young man beside her.
The young man had prominent facial features, a slender figure, and fair skin with pink lips. He looked sunny and handsome, and was no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Pei Chuxia frowned slightly, "Who is that man?"
She had seen all the guests who had come to her house, except this person.
Pei Nianzhao shook his head and said, "I don't know him, maybe he's a friend."
As he spoke, the young man attentively pulled out a chair for Shen Lai, who smiled and sat down.
The waiter brought the menu, and the young man took it and skillfully listed a few dishes.
Pei Chuxia and Pei Nianzhao noticed that the man ordered Shen Lai's portion as well.
Pei Nianzhao now realized something was wrong, "He even knows what our mother likes to eat?"
Pei Chuxia also frowned.
Which ordinary friend would know exactly what the other person eats?
Perhaps the gazes between the two were too intense, even Shen Lai realized that she was being stared at. Seeing her suddenly looking in this direction, Pei Chuxia was startled and hurriedly pulled Pei Nianzhao to sit in the corner.
When Pei Jingyan looked up, he only saw waiters hurrying by.
"What's wrong?" the young man in front asked curiously.
Shen Lai looked around and didn't see anyone suspicious.
It must have been her illusion.
At her age, there are no paparazzi who will take secret photos of her.
"fine."
Shen Lai withdrew his gaze, smiled at the young man, and the two continued talking.
Where Shen Lai couldn't see, Pei Chuxia quietly poked her head out from behind the menu and took out her cell phone from her pocket.
Pei Nianzhao saw this and held her hand, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Pei Chuxia pushed his hand away and said, "I'll call Mom."
After saying that, she took out the number and dialed it. The next second, Shen Lai's phone rang.
"Xia Xia, why did you call me suddenly?"
Shen Lai was a little surprised when he received the call.
Pei Chuxia pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, Mom, I just missed you. Where are you?"
Then Pei Chuxia saw Shen Lai, who was not far away, glance at the young man in front of him, then covered his phone and lowered his voice by two points: "Where else can I be? Of course, at home."
Pei Chuxia's heart skipped a beat. At this time, Shen Lai said on the phone that she had something else to do and would not talk about it for the time being.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Nianzhao frowned and said, "Mom is obviously not at home, why did you lie?"
The next second, a light bulb suddenly flashed in their minds. They looked at each other and suddenly said in unison: "Could Mom be cheating on you?!"
