Pei Siyu's lips curled slightly, and he asked with a half-smile, "Do you really want me to die?"
He spoke casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
Mingyao's temper flared up instantly. She glared at Pei Siyu and said angrily, "Pei Siyu, you always say I'm being ridiculous. What are you doing now?"
Pei Siyu ignored Mingyao's words, his eyes half-closed as he looked at her with interest.
Are you worried about me?
Mingyao glared at him fiercely, "When are you going back to the hospital?"
Pei Siyu said seriously, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Seeing Mingyao's worried expression, he felt a strange excitement.
"You!" Mingyao gritted her teeth in anger.
Pei Siyu's smile deepened. "Does not answering mean I agree?"
Mingyao said bitterly, "Do you think death is interesting?"
"Pei Siyu, do you know how worried I am about you?"
Tears streamed down her face, making her look like a pear blossom in the rain.
Pei Siyu was in a very good mood.
"Oh dear!" Meng Zhenzhen suddenly exclaimed from behind. She rushed forward and stood between the two of them.
Her eyes, burning with anger, glared at Pei Siyu. "How can you bully people like this!"
Pei Siyu frowned: "Meng Zhenzhen, what are you doing here?"
Mingyao looked puzzled.
Judging from Pei Siyu's tone, he and Meng Zhenzhen seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
Meng Zhenzhen choked up, her face turning deathly pale.
She hurriedly covered her face, "I don't know you!"
She turned and ran, but Pei Zhao grabbed her wrist with a gloomy expression.
"Meng Zhenzhen, what are you doing at the company instead of at the hospital?!"
Knowing her identity had been exposed, Meng Zhenzhen looked at Pei Siyu with a pitiful expression and said, "Brother, I was just so bored."
"Don't be angry."
Mingyao was completely confused. When did Pei Siyu get a younger sister?
Pei Siyu's face was ashen. He ordered, "Now, immediately! Back to the hospital right now!"
Meng Zhenzhen shrank back, her little face filled with fear.
She burst into tears, crying, "I don't want to go back to the hospital!"
She shook off Pei Siyu's hand and ran away crying.
By the time Pei Siyu caught up, she had already disappeared.
"Pei Siyu, you have a younger sister?"
He looked worriedly in the direction Meng Zhenzhen had left, "She's my cousin."
Mingyao suddenly realized and asked with concern, "Is her illness very serious?"
"There are only a few thousand cases of her disease worldwide, and currently there is only a specific drug, but no cure."
“She has been receiving treatment at Haidu Central Hospital for years, but recently she somehow managed to escape.”
Pei Siyu called his special assistant and asked him to send someone to find Meng Zhenzhen immediately.
He glanced at the time. "I should go to my meeting."
"Wait." Mingyao pinched the corner of his sleeve, looking at him with red eyes. "Can we go to the hospital after the meeting?"
Mingyao's tears fell into Pei Siyu's heart, and he hummed in agreement, "Don't worry."
Around noon, the assistant returned with a worried look on his face.
Mingyao asked, "Didn't you find it?"
"I've searched all the places Miss Meng likes to go!"
"Sister Su, do you have any news?"
Mingyao shook her head: "If I had known, I would have contacted Pei Siyu immediately."
The assistant was extremely anxious and reminded her to pay close attention.
No sooner had the assistant left than the cleaning lady came over. "Xiao Su, isn't it still before it's time to leave work?"
"There are still ten minutes before I get off work."
The cleaning lady muttered, "I just saw a little girl crying as she went upstairs. What happened?"
Mingyao had a premonition that the person who went upstairs was Meng Zhenzhen, so she began to search floor by floor.
By the time they reached the top floor, Mingyao was already panting heavily.
Meng Zhenzhen sat on the steps, arms crossed, her eyes red as she stared into the distance.
Mingyao sighed and sat silently beside her.
Meng Zhenzhen glanced at her and pouted, "If you're here to persuade me, then don't even think about it."
Mingyao chuckled: "Why would I advise you to do anything?"
"You are an adult and can make your own decisions."
Meng Zhenzhen was surprised, "I thought you were going to be my brother's advocate."
She stared at Mingyao more warily. "Then why did you come to see me?"
"I came to find you because your brother is worried about you."
"You're so stupid."
Meng Zhenzhen looked up and glared at Ming Yao with displeasure: "Where am I stupid?"
Running away will only cause you trouble.
“If he gets angry, you might not have a chance to come out at all.”
Meng Zhenzhen pursed her lips in fright and stubbornly said, "Wouldn't it be better if I just didn't go back?"
She lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion: "I don't want to go back to the hospital."
"I've had enough of the smell of disinfectant. I want to be able to do my own thing like other girls."
Mingyao patted her shoulder twice in a comforting manner, "Didn't you know your physical condition clearly when you ran away?"
"Don't think of yourself as a burden; just focus on getting treatment."
Meng Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed at Ming Yao in astonishment, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
The endless treatments terrified her to see the disappointed expressions on her family's faces.
So she ran out before the physical examination.
She knew Pei Siyu was married and was very curious about what kind of person Mingyao was.
So she disguised her identity and entered the front desk.
She saw many news articles about Mingyao online, but after getting to know her, she found that she was a very good person.
"If you have any ideas, you can discuss them with your family."
"If they really won't allow it, then we'll find other ways to satisfy ourselves."
