Chapter 262 Illegitimate Child
"Boss Bai!"
Everyone followed Xie Shiyuan's gaze and looked over.
Who else could be standing at the end of the corridor except Bai Jiashu?
She was tall and slender, with skin that glowed white in the warm winter sun, a pale and elegant face, and light-colored thin lips. He habitually took a handkerchief and gently covered the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help coughing.
His body seemed to become even thinner for a moment.
Bai Jiashu strode forward, and the secretary behind him quickly followed.
Secretary Xiao looked as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end.
"Jia Shu, aren't you recuperating? Why didn't you stay in the hospital? Why did you run out?" Old Master Pei frowned, looking a little dissatisfied. "You don't look well. Why don't you go back to the ward and rest?"
"I received news that A Yao was injured, so I came to take a look." Bai Jiashu spoke briefly and to the point. He stood in front of Xie Shiyuan, blocking out the unfriendly gazes from everyone.
"The most urgent task is to find the murderer as soon as possible."
"I didn't say anything, but you started to defend me." Mr. Pei became even more dissatisfied.
Everyone could see that Bai Jiashu was very weak. His pale and beautiful face made him look as if he had ascended to heaven. His whole temperament was gentle and ethereal.
However, the light that flickered in his eyes was extremely firm.
"Let's just talk about the facts. If Mr. Pei is assured, you can let me investigate this matter."
"Your health is in such a bad condition that you can't breathe after walking a few steps. I let you check it out. Aren't you deliberately trying to harm you?" Old Master Pei frowned, becoming even more dissatisfied.
How could Xie Shiyuan deserve Bai Jiashu's protection?
Jiashu was a child who grew up under his care. He was organized, knew when to act, and was humble and peaceful.
Xie Shiyuan is passionate and noisy.
He was quiet.
It was like a spring breeze blowing across her face, soothing her sad heart.
At least that's what Mr. Pei thinks. Bai Jiashu and Xie Shiyuan are really a good match. He can stand on his own and appear when she needs him most.
On the other hand, Pei Yao, who was lying in the ward, was just a willful child who could only pester, rage, and be irritable.
Bai Jiashu is like a harbor for young girls.
He appeared, Xie Shiyuan hid behind him, pressed her little face gently against his clothes, and a soft little hand grabbed the hem of his sleeve.
Bai Jiashu squeezed her hand and comforted her, "I don't want you."
"You hid." Xie Shiyuan said.
Bai Jiashu remained silent and did not answer.
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely give everyone in the Pei family a satisfactory explanation."
This is his promise and his guarantee.
Mr. Pei will agree.
Whether it was out of interest or friendship, Mr. Pei had no reason to refuse.
He just looked at Old Lady Xie and snorted coldly, "The Xie family has raised some good daughters!"
Old Mrs. Xie pursed her lips tightly and was reluctant to agree.
She suddenly glared at Chen Wanru fiercely.
Chen Wanru was shocked. "Mother, this has nothing to do with Yuanyuan."
Mrs. Xie, "Did I say it has anything to do with her?"
Chen Wanru: “….”
"Unmarried men and unmarried women should keep their distance." Old Lady Xie added, "Mr. Bai may not know that the Wen family took the initiative to find me to discuss marriage. I am still considering it."
Xie Shiyuan muttered, "I won't marry Wen Xuyan."
Mrs. Xie looked calm and angry.
"I just won't marry him." Xie Shiyuan's voice became even lower. She hid behind the man, opened her big watery and wet eyes, with tears hanging on her eyelashes, looking so pitiful.
"It's not up to you to decide who to marry!" Old Mrs. Xie couldn't help but said, "Boss Bai can't protect himself. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever!"
"As long as he protects me now, it will be fine." Xie Shiyuan was scheming.
Old Mrs. Xie was speechless and could only watch the little fox leave obediently with the man.
She gently tugged at Bai Jiashu's sleeve, and Bai Jiashu smiled and simply took her hand.
It's obviously a fox.
But like a little girl in need of protection, she was protected by her lover, and she smiled sweetly with satisfaction.
As for Pei Yao...
"I will come to visit him when he wakes up." Xie Shiyuan said, "The grudge between us is settled now."
Everyone in the Pei family was speechless.
After a long while, Pei Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "Mrs. Xie's words were unpleasant to hear, but they were true. Bai Jiashu could indeed protect her for a while, but not for her whole life. A Yao went to find Bai Jiashu a few days ago."
"Ayao is out of character and is pestering Xie Shiyuan again. I'm afraid it has something to do with Bai Jiashu. I think Bai Jiashu wanted to help Ayao and Xie Shiyuan get together, but he didn't expect something unexpected to happen in the middle."
"Shut up! You're the only one who talks too much!" Old Master Pei didn't want to listen.
He was worried about Pei Yao's condition.
That's sulfuric acid!
Fortunately, Pei Yao’s face was not ruined, otherwise——!
"Who is it? Who dares to throw sulfuric acid at people in public? Is there any law?"
He must find the culprit and bring him to justice!
...
Night falls.
Two days had passed since Pei Yao was injured. The incident alarmed police across the country, and they were searching for the murderer.
At this moment, the number one suspect is Bai Zhener.
She was locked in the room by Mrs. Bai Er, who asked her angrily, "You'd better promise me! Pei Yao's injury has nothing to do with you! Otherwise, if the Pei family gets serious, you and I will be in trouble!"
"Bai Jiashu's health is getting worse and worse, and your brother is only one step away from inheriting the Bai family! If you dare to implicate your brother, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!"
Bai Zhener is amazing.
She admitted that she had indeed framed Xie Shiyuan.
But she didn't have to be so stupid. Xie Shiyuan was in a very successful position now, with Bai Jiashu protecting her. She didn't have to get into trouble.
Anyway, the doctor said that Bai Jiashu's condition suddenly worsened and he would not live for more than a year or two. He could die of the disease at any time.
She could just wait until Bai Jiashu died before taking action to punish Xie Shiyuan!
"This has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Bai Zhener patted her chest and said confidently.
Mrs. Bai was skeptical.
Bai Zhen'er was furious, "Mom, how stupid am I in your eyes? Why would I ask someone to throw sulfuric acid on me for no reason? I want to put an end to this once and for all and kill that little bitch Xie Shiyuan!"
"Tell her to seduce the second brother! Seduce Mr. Xie!"
"Have you heard what's spread outside? Mr. Xie is not the biological son of the Xie family. He is the adopted boy of the Xie family, specially adopted to be the husband of Xie Shiyuan. Bah! What right does she have to do that? Mr. Xie is so outstanding, why would he be paired with Xie Shiyuan? I can't accept it!"
"This is obviously Xie Wude's doing. He deliberately smeared Xie Tingke's reputation in order to fight for the family property." Mrs. Bai sneered.
Someone like Xie Tingke is not a child-rearing boy.
I'm afraid he is just an illegitimate child who cannot be seen in public!
