C29

"Maybe she doesn't know who you are?" Pei Qingcheng still hadn't given up. She didn't believe that this was the result.

"She called me Housekeeper Hu." Housekeeper Hu immediately said, "He probably knows who I am."

"No." Pei Qingcheng shook her head with a pale face. In fact, she also knew that she was desperately fighting against a fact that might be the truth. "It doesn't make sense, but my heart is my best friend, so there's no reason for me to do this."

"A person's heart, through the sternum and skin, you will never know what the other person's heart is thinking." Ye Juan's tone was flat, but his words were like a bullet that shot right into her chest.

Ye Juan waved at Housekeeper Hu, and the butler walked out of the room and closed the door softly.

Pei Qingcheng's legs went soft. She leaned on the back of the sofa and slowly slid down.

For a long time her mind was blank.

She and Tang Kexin had known each other since childhood, and the Tang Family and Pei Family had always been rather close.

When she was young, she and Tang Kexin didn't have much fun.

Tang Kexin had been spoiled so badly by the Tang Clan that she wanted whatever good stuff others had.

Later, when they grew up and went to university, she and Tang Kexin suddenly became close. Tang Kexin often came to play with her, and the two of them became close friends.

They hardly ever quarreled, and Tang Kexin had laughed and said that the two of them respected each other as a couple and could grow old together.

So, what motive did Tang Kexin have to harm her?

No, she still couldn't figure it out!

Pei Qingcheng shook her head vigorously, biting her lower lip and clenching her hands into fists.

First it was Tang Kefeng, then it was Tang Kexin.

Why did the most trustworthy people around her become strangers when they were by Ye Juan's side?

She struggled to her feet and stepped toward the door.

Tang Kexin would not harm her. She had no reason to do so.

They were good friends, good friends.

Her enemies and enemies should be the one in front of her.

Standing in front of her, it was like a jade sculpture.

Distinguished, magnificent, high above.

His face was always calm and indifferent.

For example, when Yin Hann fell from the second floor, Ye Juan was standing beside him with the same expression.

The life and death of others never seemed to have anything to do with him.

Pei Qingcheng clutched her chest as she moved to the door and opened it. "You can cover your distance, but don't insult the relationship between me and Yeshi. Not everyone's feelings are so disdainful in your eyes!"

She opened the door and ran out.

Ye Juan didn't call out to her, instead, he ran out the door in panic after seeing her back.

He knew that the truth would definitely shock Pei Qingcheng.

In fact, there was one fact that he hadn't told her yet.

If he had told her that she had drunk a drugged glass of wine in the bar that night, it would have been Tang Kexin who was behind it. Pei Qingcheng would have found it even more unacceptable.

Also, one can accept and resist attacks from the enemy.

But he could not accept his friend's betrayal and attacks.

Ye Juan wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her that everyone in the world would betray her, but he, Ye Juan, would protect her forever.

But perhaps, he had never had such a chance in his life.

He lowered his eyes. Ding Hann knocked lightly on the door, stood at the door and said softly, "Madam lost control of her emotions and ran out."

"Just find a few people to protect her from a distance." Ye Juan looked out the window.

The fireworks were now being released. It was Ye Juan who had prepared them for Mrs. Ye.

Actually, they were all prepared for Pei Qingcheng.

He remembered that seven years ago, they went to the Arc de Triomphe to see the fireworks. Yin Hann had asked him to stay with Pei Qingcheng.

Ye Juan stood far away and didn't go over, but his eyes were focused on Pei Qingcheng who was looking up intoxicatedly at the sky full of fireworks.

The red and green light illuminated Pei Qingcheng's face, as if it had ignited all of her happiness.

At that time, she was probably the happiest person in Pei Qingcheng's life!

Ding Hann looked at Ye Juan's back and quietly left the room.

Pei Qingcheng ran all the way downstairs. There were still a room full of guests.

Her steps were unsteady. In the eyes of others, it was inevitable that she would stagger and stagger.

He bumped into Tang Kexin. What a coincidence!

"Eh? Inclined." Tang Kexin stopped her and looked at her from head to toe in surprise, "Why did you change clothes? Where's the qipao from before? "

It seemed that he still remembered her qipao. However, it had been more than 20 minutes since she asked Tang Kexin to fetch her coat. Where had she gone?

Pei Qingcheng also wanted to believe Tang Kexin, but in reality, she was shaken by Ye Juan's words.

She tried to keep her tone even, "But please, can I ask you to help me get my coat? Where did you go? "

"Oh." Tang Kexin stroked her hair and smiled. "I took it, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. And I've been looking for you all over the place!"

Looking around the entire stadium? Pei Qingcheng had been squatting there for at least ten minutes.

At this moment, her phone rang in her handbag. She subconsciously took it out and took a look.

Ding Hann gave her a video, it should be a surveillance recording of Ye Family.

Pei Qingcheng quickly looked at the video. Tang Kexin walked away from Pei Qingcheng and walked out of the hall. Then, the camera switched to the surveillance cameras outside. Tang Kexin was chatting happily with a few famous women.

"Tilt, what are you looking at?" Seeing the frown on Pei Qingcheng's forehead, Tang Kexin hurriedly leaned over.

Pei Qingcheng immediately closed the phone and put it back in her handbag.

Her fingers were cold, her palms sweaty.

This was what happened every time she encountered something she couldn't accept.

This should be real. With the surveillance video here, she would be a fool if she still didn't believe it.

Moreover, Ye Juan was a dignified man, it was impossible for him to frame Tang Kexin. He was not completely sure that he would not say something like that.

When she looked at Tang Kexin again, Pei Qingcheng suddenly felt that she did not recognize her.

She really wanted to show the video to her. She really wanted to ask her, why did she do such a thing?

Why did he want to make a fool of her in public?!

Also, why did Tang Kexin say she was in England when she knew she was on the phone and hoped she could help her?

She had clearly not taken a single step through the Mo City.

Pei Qingcheng felt that she was really stupid.

To go back and forth between Mo City and London required 32 hours. Other than the time spent waiting for the next flight and visiting Mrs. Tang, it was simply impossible.

But she still believed it.

Could it be that Tang Kexin's big lie was because she didn't want to help Pei Qingcheng?

But, the one lying in the hospital was Tang Kexin's godmother!

Pei Qingcheng's mother really liked Tang Kexin. Because Tang Kexin's sweet mouth could coax people, and was the opposite of Pei Qingcheng's reserved personality, Tang Kexin simply accepted Pei Qingcheng's mother as her godmother.

Usually, he loved to run towards the Pei Family and stick by Mrs. Pei's side. People always said that Tang Kexin was Mrs. Pei's own daughter.

When Mrs Pei was in trouble, Tang Kexin cried very hard.

But why did she pretend to be out of Mo City when she knew Pei Qingcheng wanted to ask her to borrow money to save her mother?

Pei Qingcheng really wanted to blurt out these words.

However, Pei Qingcheng still couldn't ask in the bustling hall of Ye Family.

She looked straight at Tang Kexin, whose expression returned back to normal after an awkward moment. She smiled and took Pei Qingcheng's arm. "Uh, forget it. Since everything is fine now, let's go get something to eat!"

Pei Qingcheng's body was stiff. She couldn't act like Tang Kexin and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, she knew that if she questioned Tang Kexin now, she wouldn't be able to admit it without solid evidence. Even if she didn't get Pei Qingcheng any clothes, it didn't mean that Tang Kexin was the one who broke the qipao.

Moreover, Pei Qingcheng herself wasn't a hundred percent certain that she would win.

In short, she and Shen Tiaotiao each had half the suspicion.

Pei Qingcheng let out a light breath, pretending to be unaware as she pulled Tang Kexin's hand away, "I'm not eating. I'm leaving first."

"You left?" Tang Kexin opened her eyes wide, "Is Chairman Ye leaving too?"

Why did Tang Kexin's first reaction was to ask Ye Juan if he was leaving or not, rather than worrying about why she left before the banquet started?

Pei Qingcheng thought for a moment. "He won't leave."

"Oh." A trace of relief flashed across Tang Kexin's eyes. "You don't look too good. You should go back and rest!"

It was as if Tang Kexin had long since wished for her to leave.

He walked to the door lightly, holding her coat in his hand and waiting on the porch, lightly draped it over Pei Qingcheng's shoulders, "Young Mistress, Young Master has ordered, if you want to go back and park your car at the gate, it's not appropriate to walk on the mountain road if it's frozen today."

Pei Qingcheng nodded her thanks and turned around to look at Tang Kexin.

She was no longer where she was. She was holding a glass of wine and happily chatting with someone else.

For the first time, Pei Qingcheng felt that Tang Kexin was very far away from her.

Perhaps the two of them had never been close.

Pei Qingcheng turned her head and walked down the porch.

Inside Ye Family's large manor, a glass house was temporarily constructed. Because the wind in the garden was very cold and the female servants wore very little, it was why the house was so beautiful.

Pei Qingcheng grabbed her coat with both hands and walked to the door.

She knew that it was Mrs. Ye's birthday.

She left in a hurry without even half an hour's time. She must have given herself a good discount.

It didn't matter, since she wasn't going to be Mrs. Ye's real daughter-in-law, it didn't matter what image she had in her heart.

She only wanted to escape from this place, escape from everything here.

Suddenly, a voice called out to her.

"Hey, that Little Girl."

Pei Qingcheng stopped in her tracks, flabbergasted, and looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, under a tree, stood an old woman in her seventies. Her hair was all white.

Her clothes were luxurious and she wore emerald earrings. It seemed that she was a respected guest of Ye Family.

Pei Qingcheng walked over and asked politely, "You called me?"

"Hm." The old lady narrowed her eyes and sized her up. "Little Girl, can you do me a favor?"
