After leaving the company, Mingyao saw Wu Ma.
Aunt Wu rushed forward, anxiously saying, "Miss Su, why are you doing this?"
"You're pregnant now, what if something happens to the baby if you keep doing this?"
With Wu Ma's help, Mingyao carefully descended the stairs.
"It's alright, I've already reviewed most of the company's relevant documents."
"But you, Aunt Wu..."
"The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, aren't you going back to your hometown?"
Aunt Wu chuckled: "President Pei isn't feeling well right now, how could I possibly leave?"
"I've worked for the Pei family for so many years, I've long since come to regard the Pei family as my own home."
"So Miss Su, there's no need to urge me to go back for the New Year. I'll spend it with you this year."
Pei Zhao then said, "Sister Su, I'm still here."
"With me here, you won't be alone."
"I will protect you until your uncle wakes up."
He spoke with absolute certainty.
Mingyao chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
Pei Zhao opened the car door and helped Mingyao into the car.
After the two left, a light shone in the corner.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, Wu Ma and several nannies who stayed behind for the holiday made dumplings together.
Mingyao wanted to help, so she asked Wu Ma to sit in her own seat.
"Miss Su, you're not feeling well, why don't you sit here and rest?"
Helpless, Mingyao could only watch silently from there.
Pei Zhao also came to join in the fun, carrying large and small bags.
The living room was bustling with activity, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Mingyao stroked her bulging belly, a smile spreading across her lips.
I wonder how Pei Siyu is doing in the hospital.
Tomorrow, she and Aunt Wu will go to the hospital to see Pei Siyu.
The New Year arrived as scheduled, and the city was exceptionally lively that night.
The sky, as dark as spilled ink, would light up intermittently. Mingyao lay on the bed, watching the fleeting, brilliant fireworks.
My thoughts drifted back to my past life.
At this time in his previous life, Pei Siyu was still working overtime at the company.
Mingyao felt a pang of sadness.
At that time, she thought Pei Siyu didn't like her, so she hid in the company.
Looking back now, she would rather Pei Siyu stay at the company than lie in the hospital.
If it weren't for this accident, she could have spent the New Year with Pei Siyu.
This is their first New Year.
The next day.
Mingyao brought Pei Siyu's favorite fruits and came to the hospital with Aunt Wu.
In the hospital room, she saw Meng Zhenzhen and Pei Siyu's grandmother.
Meng Zhenzhen, her eyes red, grabbed Mingyao's hand and said, "Sister, don't be sad."
"My cousin will definitely wake up."
Mingyao nodded: "Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"
Meng Zhenzhen sighed and turned to look at Pei Siyu lying on the bed.
"Grandma and Grandpa fainted first after they learned that my cousin had an accident."
"My grandma came to visit my cousin now that she's feeling a bit better."
"Sister, you're pregnant now, so you must take good care of yourself."
"If anything happens to you, my cousin will be very upset when he wakes up."
Meng Zhenzhen placed her hand on Mingyao's stomach and gently stroked it.
"Sister, this must be a very beautiful child."
"right."
Grandma, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Zhenzhen, go and buy some tonics first."
"Your sister and I have something to say."
Meng Zhenzhen reluctantly removed her hand from Mingyao's belly.
After she left, Mingyao asked, "Grandma, is there anything you want to say?"
"Pei Siyu is currently unconscious, so you need to be careful."
Her expression was serious, and her tone carried a hint of warning.
Mingyao bit her lower lip: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
She opened her mouth and voiced her suspicion: "I suspect that Wei Ning orchestrated this accident."
"But I have no evidence."
Grandma looked at Pei Siyu and stroked his hand.
"It has something to do with her."
Mingyao was stunned, and asked hesitantly, "Mother-in-law, do you mean there's a third person?"
"Um."
"You probably don't know about Pei Siyu's past."
The mother-in-law sighed, turned to look at Mingyao, and a bitter look appeared on her face.
"Actually, this child has lost a part of his memory."
“He had a very painful childhood. If he hadn’t forgotten that memory, he might not have been able to make it this far.”
"This is part of the reason why he has kept all women at arm's length all these years."
Mingyao felt as if her heart was being gripped by an invisible hand.
She bit her lower lip and asked in a dry voice, "Mother-in-law, what exactly did he go through in the past?"
Grandma held Pei Siyu's hand tightly, and after a long while, she said, "When he was a teenager, his mother was murdered in front of him."
"after……"
Grandma's voice gradually choked up: "That murderer imprisoned this child."
"By the time the police found him, Pei Siyu had been tortured beyond recognition."
"I was terrified that he would never wake up again."
"I didn't expect that he would forget everything after waking up."
Mingyao stood there, stunned.
Grandma didn't describe it in much detail; just a few words were enough to make Mingyao feel suffocated.
Witnessing her own mother being murdered and then imprisoned, she was filled with rage...
Mingyao felt as if she had been punched hard in the heart.
She clenched her fists, feeling a chill creep up from the soles of her feet.
How painful was that memory for Pei Siyu?
