C16

It was a rare good dream, so Pei Qingcheng had a good night's sleep.

For a long time, ever since Yin Hann had passed away, hatred had been burning in her. Thus, she didn't have a single day of good sleep.

He didn't expect that he would be able to sleep by his enemy's side for the entire night.

She sat up from the bed. Ye Juan was no longer by her side.

They slept on the same bed, but the two of them seemed to be separated by a river and a river.

Ye Juan was a gentleman, so he only slept on his side.

Just as he was about to get out of bed and go wash up, he saw a note on the bedside table.

It was something Ye Juan had left for her, just a few words.

"Pei Zhijun is on the ninth floor. You can see him for half an hour."

Pei Qingcheng calmly threw the note into the trash can.

Suddenly, she bent down to pick up the note from the trash can and carefully read it again.

Why did she feel that Ye Juan's handwriting was very familiar?

It was as if he had seen it somewhere, and it was very, very familiar, engraved in his memory. However, he couldn't recall what it was either.

Forget it. She once again threw the note into the trash can, then stood up to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

Just as he finished washing and was about to change his clothes, Tang Kefeng called.

Because of the blood type incident yesterday, Pei Qingcheng felt slightly uncomfortable in her heart.

She suddenly realized that she didn't know Tang Kefeng that well.

She had thought that her relationship with Tang Kefeng was no different from siblings.

In Pei Qingcheng's heart, Pei Zhijun was her beloved elder brother, while Tang Kefeng was the elder brother who knew her heart.

Ever since she was young, she knew what she liked, what she wanted, and what Tang Kefeng wanted. He would try his best to satisfy her.

However, since yesterday, she found out that she didn't know him very well.

She didn't know that her voice was unnatural: "Yes, Kefeng."

"You're up? Did you sleep well last night? " Tang Kefeng's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hm." Pei Qingcheng casually snorted. "Not bad."

"Is Zhijun out of danger?" Tang Kefeng asked with concern.

When he mentioned his brother, Pei Qingcheng couldn't help but think of the conversation she heard between him and Ding Hann at the back stairs.

He said he had a reason. What made him give up on saving an old friend he grew up with?

Unknowingly, Pei Qingcheng's tone was cold. "Yes, I'm fine."

"That's good. I was worried all night. "Qing Qing, you don't have to worry too much. I'll see if I can find a way for you two to meet again. No matter what, I have to get Zhijun to muster up the courage to continue living."

Tang Kefeng said so and she listened to him, but she didn't tell him that she could see her brother later.

Now that she was in a difficult situation, she had to be careful of everything.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tang Kefeng, Pei Qingcheng hung up the phone. She hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs to eat breakfast. She was in a hurry to meet her brother at the hospital.

Right now, Pei Zhijun was safe in the hospital, but he might not be able to return to the prison.

Pei Zhijun was sentenced to eight years for manipulating the exchange rate of securities futures. Eight years wasn't a long or short amount of time, but because of his imprisonment, his dad got drunk and died in a car accident.

Therefore, Pei Zhijun felt guilty.

This time, he was saved, but he didn't know what the next time would be.

Pei Qingcheng rushed to the hospital. When she entered the ward, she found that there was an unfamiliar man in there.

The man stood up and extended his hand to Pei Qingcheng. "Hello, Mrs. Ye. My name is Mo Changsheng. I'm a lawyer from the Dong Hua Lawyer House."

Mo Changsheng? The most famous lawyer in Mo City? He was an expert in economic cases, but he was a arrogant person who was hard to recruit.

Needless to say, it must have been arranged by Ye Juan.

Could it be that he wanted to reverse the case for his brother?

Pei Qingcheng nodded politely and looked at her brother on the bed.

Pei Zhijun looked much better. Pei Qingcheng walked a few steps forward and held her brother's hand: "Do you feel well?"

"I made you worry." Pei Zhijun tightly held Pei Qingcheng's hand. His skinny knuckles even hurt Pei Qingcheng.

She couldn't stop her nose from clogging up as she tried her best not to cry. "Brother, you've lost a lot of weight. You're even skinnier than the last time I saw you."

Lawyer Mo stood aside and waited for the two siblings to finish talking before walking over, "Mrs. Ye, I've already talked to Mr. Pei just now, and I feel that Mr. Pei's case still has a lot of doubts, so I plan to apply to the court for a second trial."

Pei Qingcheng's eyes lit up. "If you can reverse the case for my brother, that would be for the best!"

Pei Zhijun's case was very sensational in Mo City, the crime was controlling the price of the stocks, causing many of the retail investors to go bankrupt, and there was a large amount of money on the company accounts of Pei's. Thus, the evidence confirmed that Pei Zhijun was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.

This sentence is pretty heavy for economic crimes.

However, the words that Pei Zhijun repeated the most every time he saw Pei Qingcheng were, "I didn't do that."

Therefore, Pei Qingcheng believed in her brother.

Now that Lawyer Mo was willing to help her brother, Pei Qingcheng seemed to see hope.

If elder brother can be acquitted, mother will also be happy to immediately get better?

Lawyer Mo had something to talk to Pei Zhijun. Pei Qingcheng exhorted her brother a few times before she prepared to leave.

Pei Zhijun suddenly grabbed Pei Qingcheng's wrist. "I heard that Mom is in this hospital too?"

"Yes." Pei Qingcheng nodded. Indeed, her mother was also in this hospital. She would go visit her mother later.

Pei Zhijun's eyes turned red: "I want to go see mom."

In theory, it was impossible. Since Pei Zhijun was still a prisoner, Pei Qingcheng visiting him was already a special case.

However, Pei Qingcheng immediately agreed. "Alright, I'll arrange it."

"Qingcheng, if you're looking for Ye Juan, then forget it." Pei Zhijun stared at his sister, "I know that Lawyer Mo invited me, but at this point in time, I have to accept his invitation. Pei Zhijun stared at his sister," I know that Lawyer Mo was invited by him.

Pei Qingcheng knew what her brother meant, he didn't want her to beg Ye Juan.

However, Pei Qingcheng had her own thoughts.

They had not seen their mother since she had jumped off the building and her brother had gone to jail.

If her brother went to see her, her mother would be able to feel it. It might be helpful to her condition.

As long as there was hope, she would do it even if there was a tiny bit of hope.

After walking out of her brother's ward, she took a deep breath while holding the phone in her hand. Finally, she mustered her courage and called Ye Juan.

In her memory, she had never called Ye Juan.

The call quickly connected. Ye Juan's voice came out of the phone.

Low, cold, not like the cold in the human world.

This sort of coldness was something that was ingrained in his bones. He couldn't help it.

"Hey, tilde."

Pei Qingcheng gripped the phone tightly and begged him not to say it, but to say it.

"My brother wants to see my mother." She said it with difficulty.

"Alright." Ye Juan answered straightforwardly.

Actually, Pei Qingcheng could imagine his reaction, so he would definitely agree.

Pei Qingcheng's demands towards him had always been as if she wanted them to be.

Thank you is definitely not, but Pei Qingcheng's personality will not owe anyone, especially Ye Juan.

She gritted her teeth and tried to keep her tone calm, "Let's go home to eat tonight. I'll cook."

"Yes." Pei Qingcheng could hear Ye Juan's brisk voice.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Steamed Fish, Seafood, Creamy Noodle Soup." Ye Juan ordered a series of dishes.

Pei Qingcheng snorted. "I know." Before hanging up, he added, "Go home early from work."

After hanging up, he suddenly felt that his words were a bit like that of an ordinary couple, their wife repeatedly exhorting her husband to come home early to eat after work.

Pei Qingcheng laughed self-deprecatingly. She and Ye Juan would never become husband and wife like that.

At the top of Ye's Group's pyramid, Ye Juan was holding onto a phone, his eyes still staring at the screen that had long been extinguished.

Ding Hann stood to the side with a red date tea in his hand. He couldn't hear anything on the phone, but since the call was from his wife, he could guess what it was.

It seemed that his grandpa's face was relaxed. The words that his wife had said on the phone must have been what he liked to hear.

He hesitated for a moment and then handed over the red date tea in his hand.

Housekeeper Hu said that red dates could help replenish my blood, so he urged me to replenish some of it.

However, Ye Juan hated the taste of the red date. He almost threw the cup along with the person just now.

Ding Hann was able to observe the situation. While Ye Juan was in a good mood, he actually took the red date tea and drank half a cup regardless of what it was.

After drinking it, he finally reacted. He raised his head and glanced at Ding Hann: "What did you give me to drink?"

"Master, I've already drunk it all. It's best if you lose too much blood yesterday and make up for it." Ding Hann smiled.

Unexpectedly, Ye Juan didn't get angry, and he finished all the red date tea in the cup.

This was a strange rumor. It seemed like not only was I in a good mood today, but it was also extremely good.

Ding Hann took the opportunity to ask, "Was it Madam who called just now?"

Ye Juan actually answered: "She cooks dinner tonight."

However, he was showing off every single word.

Show off your wife to cook for him at home?

Ding Hann's smile froze on his face. This was the first time in his life he ate until his wife cooked dinner, so wasn't Ding Hann going to congratulate me?

While Ye Juan was still in a good mood, Ding Hann brought over a bunch of project cases that Ye Juan had been unwilling to pass: "Master, take a look at these and give us some suggestions to correct them. Otherwise, the people below will not know how to change them."

Seeing Ye Juan staring at him, Ding Hann quickly added, "After reading all these, just in time to get off work. I won't disturb you and your wife having such a good dinner together."

Ye Juan finally picked up the pen on the table and looked at the document in front of him.

Ding Hann stood by the side and thought, was it possible that his wife asked him what he liked to eat?

However, fish, shrimp, seafood, cream pasta, it was clearly my wife's favorite!

Did he fall in love with a man wholeheartedly and lose himself?

Ding Hann secretly sent a text message to Housekeeper Hu. "Madam is cooking today. Let the people in the kitchen prepare the dishes."

Then, would everyone in the Zhuang Sheng's Dream Big House disappear on their own tonight?
