When Pei Nuo saw Sheng An Ning, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled with the corners of her mouth raised. Her eyes brightened a lot, and she let Sheng An Ning hold her arm and walk into the house.
Zhou Shixun came over and took the bag from Zhou Luancheng: "How is it going? Is it going well?"
Zhou Luancheng was a little surprised. This silent twin brother had never been a gossiper, and he didn't care about the progress of his case. Every time they chatted, he seldom asked him about his work.
Most of the time he would just agree with whatever he was talking about.
Therefore, he felt that Zhou Shixun was a person who was indifferent even when chatting. He was still very surprised when he suddenly asked about his work progress: "Fortunately, it went much more smoothly than expected."
Zhou Shixun asked again: "Have you investigated Pei Nuo's matter?"
Zhou Luancheng had no idea that Sheng Anning would ask Zhou Shixun several questions over and over again every time he saw him: "Do you think Luancheng will find anything over there?"
"Do you think we can really find out why Pei Nuo got sick?"
"I don't know if we can investigate things that happened more than a decade ago in such a short time. After all, there was no Internet at that time."
Although Zhou Shixun didn't know what the Internet was, he knew what his wife was concerned about, so he had to find out as soon as possible. He couldn't let his wife worry about it every day.
So as soon as Zhou Luancheng entered the door, he immediately asked.
It was a rare occasion for Zhou Luancheng to gossip with his brother, so he didn't even take the time to wash up and rest. He talked about the flower arrangements and Madam Pei.
Sheng An Ning couldn't help but exclaimed, "Beast! Beast! How can you do such a heartless thing? There's no need to interrogate such a person, just shoot him directly. He's just polluting the air if he's alive."
Zhong Wenqing asked her aunt to go back to kneading the dough and rolling out the noodles. She was also listening and was shocked: "How could there be such a vicious person? To be so cruel to a child."
The look in his eyes towards Pei Nuo became more and more loving, and he reached out and touched the top of Pei Nuo's head: "Poor child, it's good that you don't know anything."
Pei Nuo was eating a piece of date cake handed to her by An An. When she saw Zhong Wenqing touching her, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at Zhong Wenqing.
Zhong Wenqing felt even more sorry for Pei Nuo: "Look at what a good child she is, so popular, how could you be so cruel to her?"
Zhou Hongyun was so angry that he kept scolding these people for being so heartless!
It was an hour before the family sat down at the dining table again. The three little ones had already eaten their fill and were running around the house playing with their toys.
It allows the adults to have dinner in peace.
Sheng An Ning didn't expect Mrs. Pei to be so vicious: "Then Mr. Pei's death really has nothing to do with her?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "No, if there was, she would have told me."
He also told Sheng An Ning his guess that Mr. Pei knew that Mrs. Pei killed Pei Nuo's mother, so he adopted Pei Nuo to atone for his sin.
"He has some intention to atone for his sins, and some sympathy for Pei Nuo, but not much."
This shocked Sheng An Ning again: "How could this happen? I can't accept this result to some extent."
She still admires Mr. Pei very much.
Zhou Luancheng explained to her: "If Mr. Pei had no selfish motives in adopting Pei Nuo, he would not have left Pei Nuo to two elderly people. And he is a doctor, he would not have failed to notice Pei Nuo's many abnormal conditions."
After all, Mr. Pei is not an ordinary doctor and has a certain influence in the academic world.
Sheng An Ning couldn't tell what she felt in her heart: "If this is the case, everyone is an accomplice to Xiao Nuo's current situation. They can't think they are innocent just because they didn't know about it."
Zhong Wenqing also didn't expect it: "Then Mr. Pei shouldn't do that. He should have made it clear to his wife. In this way, Pei Nuo might have suffered less. At least his wife wouldn't be hostile to Pei Nuo because of misunderstanding."
Zhou Luancheng shook his head: "Impossible, if Madam Pei knew, she would only hate Pei Nuo even more, and who knows what she would do out of anger and shame. It is obvious that Master Pei also knows her character."
Sheng An Ning couldn't understand: "He forbeared not telling Mrs. Pei the truth, while at the same time using money and things to compensate Pei Nuo."
She didn't even know how to evaluate Mr. Pei. Was he a good person?
Zhong Wenqing saw that everyone was busy talking and the noodles in their bowls were clumping together. Only Pei Nuo was eating noodles contentedly as if nothing had happened. He sighed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, Luan Cheng and Cheng An should also have a good rest."
After dinner, Pei Nuo leaned on the sofa and yawned delicately, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried hard to keep her eyes open, waiting for Sheng Chengan to come back from taking a shower.
Sheng An Ning touched her braids: "Xiao Nuo, do you want to sleep with me tonight? We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Pei Nuo shook his head without thinking, then turned to look towards the bathroom on the first floor.
Sheng An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The little girl went out for a while, and I feel like she has become much smarter when she came back."
Zhou Luancheng was originally talking to Zhou Shixun. After hearing Sheng Anning's words, he turned around and said, "Pei Nuo can speak now."
Sheng An Ning screamed. She hadn't heard Pei Nuo make a sound since he came back. She couldn't believe it: "Really? Xiao Nuo can talk? Xiao Nuo?"
As he spoke, he looked at Pei Nuo, his eyes full of anticipation as he wanted to hear her speak.
Pei Nuo blinked and looked at Sheng An Ning, pursing her lips and showing no intention of speaking.
Sheng An Ning was not in a hurry and held her hand: "Our Xiao Nuo will get better and better."
When going to bed at night, Pei Nuo still followed Sheng Chengan. No matter how Sheng An Ning persuaded him, Pei Nuo just held Sheng Chengan's clothes tightly and refused to let go, pursing his lips with a look of stubbornness and persistence.
In the end, there was no choice but to let Sheng Chengan take Pei Nuo to rest.
Sheng An Ning was very troubled. After returning to the room, she couldn't help but mutter to Zhou Shixun: "Pei Nuo is so dependent on my brother. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."
In recent days, because we are moving, we have packed all the clothes in the house, leaving only the bed unmade, and the room is full of boxes and bags.
The three little ones didn't get coaxed by Zhou Hongyun to go downstairs and sleep with her. After a few days, it became a habit and they refused to go upstairs to find their parents.
This allowed Sheng An Ning and Zhou Shixun to enjoy a few rare days of time together.
Zhou Shixun went over to help Sheng An Ning wipe her hair: "Your brother will take care of it, you don't have to worry about it. They are back safely now, you should have a good rest."
Sheng An Ning sighed: "But Chaoyang hasn't come back yet. I don't know what's going on with Dad and Chaoyang. He's been gone for so long. Didn't he say he'd be back after the Chinese New Year? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Zhou Shixun remained silent. He couldn't ask about this.
Sheng An Ning sighed again: "You said that I, a sister-in-law, am so worried. As the eldest brother, shouldn't you also care about your sister?"
