Chapter 89: Right and Wrong

As the word "play" appeared, the scenes of last night seemed to come into Pei Yuning's mind one after another as if they were real.

In the soft, hazy light, Shang Yanci had a faint red tint on the corners of his eyes, heavy breathing through his nose, and his sharp Adam's apple moving up and down. He sighed helplessly at her, and his burning palms could no longer bear to push away her soft, restless palms.

The more Pei Yuning thought about it, the redder her face became. The feeling on her palm was hard to get rid of. She shook her head, held back, and stopped thinking about it.

The Rolls-Royce drove into Yuhua Mingyuan. After getting out of the car, he took the birthday present for Pei Yunzhi from the back seat. The two held hands and walked into the main hall together.

Mr. Pei is playing a fast chess game with his two sons. Each game is played within fifteen minutes. The loser leaves the table and the winner continues to be the banker.

Pei Yunzhi hadn't come back yet, Pei Yuchen was leaning on the sofa playing games, while Mrs. Pei and Second Aunt were looking through the new season's clothing on their tablets.

Pei Yuning was not surprised to see Xu Han busy in the kitchen.

Shang Yanci whispered in her ear: "Baby, look at me."

Pei Yuning accepted his thoughtfulness and said softly, "Okay, it's up to you."

Madam Pei raised her eyes and looked over, and asked, "Ningning, why didn't the two relatives come with you?"

Pei Yuning: "Grandpa and grandma are going to watch the fireworks tonight and will come over tomorrow."

Madam Pei smiled and said, "They are in much better spirits than us."

Master Pei: "Yanci, let's play a game of chess."

Shang Yanci was about to refuse.

Pei Yuning took the birthday present from his hand and said, "Ayan, go play chess with Grandpa and the others."

Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at her, whispering, "I want to be with you."

Pei Yuning raised the corners of his lips: "Don't be so clingy, stay with me tonight."

"Okay." Shang Yanci gently pinched the ring finger of her left hand, soothing her tenderly without changing his tone.

Pei Yuning went upstairs and put the birthday present back in the bedroom.

At dinner time, there was one more person at the table than usual, but no one took the initiative to introduce them to Shang Yanci, as if they were oblivious.

Xu Han was clear-sighted and had a clear mind. No matter how well she did, she could not compare to the importance of Pei Yuning, her biological daughter, in Pei Jinyan's heart.

But because of her status as the eldest lady of the Pei family, even though Shang Yanci had a prominent family background, he had to acknowledge that she was his elder.

Shang Yanci removed the bones from the fish on the plate one by one and placed it in front of Pei Yuning.

Xu Han played the role of a kind stepmother. No one introduced her. She pretended not to know Shang Yanci's name and smiled softly, "Ningning's husband is really considerate and caring. Nice to meet you. My name is Xu Han, and I'm Jin Yan's wife."

Pei Jinyan paused with the chopsticks in his hand.

Shang Yanci ignored her words, looked at Pei Yuning, and asked gently: "Ningning, do you want to eat crabs?"

Pei Yuning: "Yes."

Crabs are cold in nature and can easily damage the spleen and stomach, so Shang Yanci only picked up two crabs. His movements were delicate and elegant, as he slowly and methodically peeled off the shells and removed the meat.

This was not the first time that Xu Han was treated coldly. Seeing that Shang Yanci had no intention of paying any attention to her, she stopped talking and looked relaxed.

After dinner, some people played chess, some chatted.

Aunt Chen, the housekeeper, came over, whispered something in Madam Pei's ear, took out her cell phone, and showed her something.

After a while, Zhou Du was brought into the main hall of the house. He saw Shang Yanci playing chess and quickly looked away, not daring to reveal any clues.

When Xu Han saw Zhou Du, he immediately lowered his head. Why did he come to the Pei family?

Madam Pei glanced at Xu Han, who was looking down, and called out to the chess table, "Come here, all of you."

Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they put down their chess pieces and sat around on the sofas in the hall.

Madam Pei looked at Zhou Du: "What is the secret you are talking about?"

Zhou Du looked at Pei Jinyan and said straight to the point: "Mr. Pei, I'm sorry. The child in Xu Han's belly was actually mine."

It was like a spring thunder that shook the earth.

Pei Yuchen dropped the game console in his hand to the ground. The little man in the game hit the wall and died. He bent down to pick it up, smiling casually, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Sorry, you guys continue."

The second uncle and second aunt stood up, found an excuse at random, left the hall, and dragged away Pei Yuchen, who was looking for trouble.

Pei Jinyan was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly became speechless. He opened and closed his mouth, and it was unclear what he was saying.

Xu Han was so shocked that his heart stopped beating for a moment. After recovering from his shock, he pretended not to know: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you. Who assigned you to frame me? What good will this do you?"

Zhou Du understood what Xu Han meant. She was hinting at giving him 10 million yuan a year as a hush money. But now that Mr. Shang was giving him 50 million yuan a year, he would of course choose the one that paid more.

Xu Han held Pei Jinyan's hand tightly, as if grabbing the last straw: "Jinyan, you said you would believe me."

Pei Jinyan remained silent.

Madam Pei picked up the phone on the table, checked the time, and put it back: "You need to have evidence when you speak. We can't believe your empty words."

Zhou Du took out his phone and a stack of photos he had printed out in advance, and spread out the intimate photo he and Xu Han had taken that year on the table: "Xu Han and I met when we were sharing an apartment, and we dated for two years."

Xu Han gnashed her teeth in hatred. She had clearly deleted those photos back then, but she didn't expect Zhou Du to have kept a backup.

But she still refused to admit it: "The photo-editing techniques are getting more and more advanced nowadays. What can a few photos prove?"

"Xu Han, you are still the same old liar." Zhou Du was provoked by her. He took out the key evidence, turned up the volume of his phone, and clicked on a recording.

"Xu Han: Pei Jinyan was drunk that night, and nothing happened between us."

"Are you sick?" Xu Han stood up from the sofa, ran over and tried to turn off Zhou Du's phone.

Pei Jinyan grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice: "Don't feel guilty if you didn't do it. Just stay still."

After saying that, Pei Jinyan let her go. Xu Han's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

"Xu Han: Even though the baby in my belly is yours, with our abilities, how can we afford to raise a child in Beijing? But I really can't bear to abort it.

Zhou Du: What do you want to do?

Xu Han: Let's just go with the flow. I'll put the pregnancy report in my file and let my colleagues at the company find out and tell Pei Jinyan about it.

Zhou Du: Do you want to use the child to force him to get married?

Xu Han: Forcing people like them will only backfire. I won't take the initiative to find him. Having been his secretary for so long, I have seen through him. He loves his children very much. He is a man with a strong sense of responsibility, but he is also soft-hearted. People like him are easy to be controlled. "

After this recording finished playing, Zhou Du clicked on another one.

"Xu Han: Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant with the boss's child. You must help me.

Xu's mother: Give me the pregnancy report. Your father and I will go to the company this afternoon and make a scene. We will definitely give you an explanation.

Xu Han: I'm not asking you to go to the company to cause trouble, but when Pei Jinyan, the boss of my company, comes to my house, you can slap me and say bad things to me, the worse the better, and leave the rest to me. I'm sure I can take him down, marry into the Pei family, and become a rich and wealthy wife. "

After playing both recordings, Zhou Du turned off his phone. "These recordings are real, without any post-production synthesis. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to check it. Mr. Pei should know best whether the development of the matter was as described in the recordings."

Pei Jinyan was of course the most clear about this, and he did follow Xu Han's expectations and stepped into her fire pit step by step.

When he went to her house to find her that year, Xu Han had several slap marks on her face, and her parents were swearing at her with extremely vicious and obscene words.

Xu Han was crying at that time, protecting her abdomen with both hands, and refused to give in or compromise: "I just like him and love him. Even if he doesn't marry me, I will give birth to his child and raise him alone until he grows up."

More than a decade later, Xu Han was just as sorrowful as she was back then, crying: "Jin Yan, are you going to choose to trust a stranger? I've been married to you for more than a decade, what kind of person am I, you..."

Pei Yuning frowned slightly and interrupted her sad and annoying crying: "There are professionals in the security room who can check audio synthesis. Let's find one to check it out. It will naturally be clear who is real and who is fake, and what is right and wrong."

Xu Han swallowed her tears and said, "Ning Ning, I know you hate me, but..."

Pei Yuning said sarcastically, "Shut up. You know I hate you, so why are you repeating yourself? If you want to cry, cry to my dad. Let's see if I can soften his heart again this time."

Pei Jinyan told Aunt Chen calmly: "Call the security office and send someone over."

Aunt Chen: “Yes, sir.”
