Chapter 89 My wife asked you a question but you couldn’t hear her
Soon, Pei Jingyan's car appeared at the hospital entrance.
Shen Lai got into the car and saw Pei Jingyan sitting in the back seat in a suit with documents in his hand. He must have come from the company.
Shen Lai got in the car and fastened her seat belt. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Pei Jingyan closed the file and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Mentioning this, Shen Lai was a little upset and whispered: "My mother knows about our marriage."
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows, "How did you know?"
"She saw the news about Bai Hansui's arrest, and it just so happened that our participation in the variety show was also captured on camera, so she went to check it out online."
Pei Jingyan leaned back in his chair. "So? She doesn't support us getting married?"
"It's not that she doesn't support me." Shen Lai seemed worried. "She just felt that our family was in trouble and was worried that I would be bullied."
Hearing this, Pei Jingyan's eyes were filled with a hint of amusement. "Have I bullied you recently?"
Shen Lai glanced at him and said, “If you bullied me, I would have divorced you long ago.”
In fact, she thought the same as her mother at the beginning, and she was even mentally prepared.
In the end, Pei Jingyan did nothing, but instead defended her again and again.
Shen Lai lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow on the spot.
Sometimes she even hoped that Pei Jingyan would not be so nice to her, so that when the day came for them to separate, she would not be reluctant.
Shen Lai coughed lightly, as if trying to hide his emotions, and changed the subject: "By the way, my mother said she wants to see you. When you have time, you can accompany me to see her."
Pei Jingyan remained calm and asked, "Didn't we meet last time?"
"Last time I was in my capacity as the boss, this time..." Shen Lai paused, "Anyway, this time is different."
Pei Jingyan's eyes held a lazy smile, and he suddenly leaned over and asked, "What is your identity this time?"
The cool scent of pine wood from his body swept over, almost pushing Shen Lai against the car door.
Shen Lai's throat rolled, and he said unyieldingly: "Don't you know what your identity is?"
Pei Jingyan said frankly, "I don't know."
Shen Lai choked.
She felt that Pei Jingyan must have done it on purpose.
Pei Jingyan's lips curled up, and he said in a teasing tone, "Why, weren't you so comfortable calling me husband on the show? But you turned your back on me off stage?"
Shen Lai couldn't help but think of what she said on the show and swallowed, "That was what the role required. I can't call you Mr. Pei in public, right? Wouldn't everyone know we're a fake couple then?"
Looking at Shen Lai's profile as she turned away, which was white with a hint of pink in the sunlight, like a beautiful piece of warm jade, Pei Jingyan finally stopped teasing her and distanced themselves from her. "Going home now?"
Hearing the word "home", Shen Lai paused for a moment and pretended to be calm and nodded.
That night, when Shen Lai was browsing Weibo, he saw Bai Hansui's name.
It is said that she was released on bail by the Bai family. When she left the police station, she was surrounded by a group of paparazzi. She didn't dare to raise her head because she was wearing a hat and a mask, and was pushed into the car.
Who would have thought that Bai Hansui was a glamorous superstar just two days ago, but became a rat crossing the street in just one day.
After this incident, Bai Hansui not only lost her reputation and her job, but also had to pay a large sum of liquidated damages.
Even Huo Chilin cut off ties with her.
It can be said that Bai Hansui’s career and love were completely ruined.
Shen Lai looked at the news and felt nothing.
If Bai Hansui hadn't done those bad things, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
After the variety show was discontinued, the company arranged other work for Shen Lai. Her agent was worried that she couldn't handle it during her pregnancy and wanted to arrange less work for her, but Shen Lai refused.
She wanted to make more money before her belly got bigger, so that after she divorced Pei Jingyan, she could support herself and her mother.
The word "divorce" suddenly popped up in his mind, and Shen Lai's thoughts suddenly froze.
It should have been a happy thing, but why did she feel so heavy when she thought about it?
Could it be that she was reluctant to divorce Pei Jingyan?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Shen Lai shuddered. She couldn't bear to leave Pei Jingyan. Could it be that she fell in love with him?
This is crazy.
Shen Lai shook his head vigorously, throwing this inappropriate idea behind him.
After finally finishing filming the commercial, Shen Lai returned to the lounge to remove her makeup. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Pei Jingyan sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. She exuded elegance just by sitting there.
Shen Lai asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Could it be that he came to pick her up from get off work?
Pei Jingyan raised his head, and his expression was rarely as unserious as before.
It was rare to see Pei Jingyan with this expression. Shen Lai felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, "Why don't you speak?"
Pei Jingyan said in a low voice, "My people have found the employee who escaped from Shen Group."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lai's body stiffened and he said in disbelief: "Really?"
Pei Jingyan hummed.
Shen Lai didn't expect Pei Jingyan to be so fast. He caught the man in just a few days.
She originally thought that she would have to wait for half a year before finding the other person like before.
Shen Lai couldn't help but ask, "Where did you find him?"
Pei Jingyan straightened his suit. "After the accident, he hid back in his hometown. Not long after, he built a small house. It seems that he got a lot of benefits."
Shen Lai's breathing became slightly rapid.
After hearing Pei Jingyan say this, she was now more certain that the other party had taken the money, otherwise how could he become rich overnight?
Shen Lai tried hard to control his emotions and gritted his teeth, "Where is he now?"
Pei Jingyan raised his chin towards his assistant and said, "Bring the person in."
"yes."
Not long after, a man with blood all over his face was carried in by his assistant like a chicken and thrown heavily to the ground.
Shen Lai recognized at a glance that the other person was Qin Qifeng, the factory worker who had escaped after her father's accident.
Seeing Shen Lai, Qin Qifeng shuddered, "Shen, Miss Shen."
Shen Lai forced herself to calm down and said coldly: "Thanks to you and Han Xinjie, I am no longer a young lady."
Not only that, she also has to sell herself to pay for her mother's medical expenses.
An expression of shame appeared on Qin Qifeng's face, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shen Lai.
Shen Lai took a deep breath, "What happened back then? Did someone ask you to frame my dad?"
She never believed that her father would use inferior materials to harm people in order to save costs. Even until he was imprisoned, her father kept saying that he was wronged.
Qin Qifeng didn't say anything and subconsciously glanced at Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are you looking at me? Can't you hear my wife asking you a question?"
Hearing this name, Shen Lai blushed and covered his lips with his hands and coughed lightly.
Qin Qifeng glanced at the tall and strong assistant behind him, and then thought of the experience of being beaten half to death. He didn't dare to lie anymore and said tremblingly, "Yes, Han Xinjie asked me to do this."
