Pei Chiyao was slightly puzzled when suddenly someone rushed up to him and said, "Young Master Pei, we just found the Old Man collapsed in the rest room. The ambulance has just taken him to the hospital."
Pei Chiyao casually replied, "Okay, just handle it."
The Old Man? Zhi Yao had never seen Pei Chiyao's other family members, so she was very curious, and... didn't Pei Chiyao just go to see this person? But why did he come back with blood on him? Could it be related to this Old Man they were talking about?
The young girl's confusion was written all over her face. Seeing this, Pei Chiyao couldn't help but pinch Zhi Yao's nose, "Little silly, don't frown. I'll take you to see that old geezer."
Old geezer?
Zhi Yao and the employee were both surprised to hear this term.
Pei Chiyao didn't bother with anyone else, he just picked up Zhi Yao and left in a hurry. The other Pei family members will handle the rest.
It was half an hour later when they arrived at the hospital.
The Old Master Pei was not seriously injured, he had just fainted from a severe shock. Zhi Yao was held in Pei Chiyao's arms, and through the glass of the ward, she saw an old man lying on the bed inside.
For some reason... the old man's appearance made Zhi Yao feel very uncomfortable.
She didn't quite like this person, feeling that... he was very wicked.
This was the intuition of a small animal.
Zhi Yao tugged at Pei Chiyao's shirt, "Was it he who caused you to get hurt?"
Pei Chiyao nodded, "Yes."
But the old geezer didn't expect that his attempt to steal a chicken would end up losing the rice.
He suffered a minor injury and recovered quickly. But he almost died himself.
Pei Chiyao coldly looked at the old man with the oxygen tube, really wanting to rush in and pull it out.
"He's a bad person," Zhi Yao glared angrily at the person lying inside, "Don't see him again in the future."
Pei Chiyao chuckled lightly, "Darling, don't you think he's the more pitiful one?"
After all, Pei Chiyao was still standing here, while the other person was lying in there.
"I don't care at all! Anyone who hurts you is a bad person!" She was very protective.
After saying that, Zhi Yao suddenly realized that she still didn't know why all this happened.
"Pei Chiyao, what did he do to hurt you? Isn't he your grandfather?" The little vixen timidly looked up at Pei Chiyao and asked softly.
Pei Chiyao's smile faded, "He is not my grandfather."
His father was not the biological son of this old man. When Pei Chiyao was very young, his father had a car accident.
The people in the family all said he was inauspicious by nature, so the Pei family didn't want to raise him.
The old geezer even directly sent him to an underground boxing ring, leaving him to fend for himself.
If he wasn't so lucky, he would have died countless times already.
Later, they found that not only had he not died, but he had also gained a high position there. Only then did they think he was somewhat useful and brought him back, sending him abroad to study.
In just five years, Pei Chiyao completed all his studies and obtained the highest doctoral degree, returning to the country and entering the entertainment industry.
Another five years passed, and he had successfully reached the top of the entertainment circle, fulfilling the dream his mother had never realized.
Zhi Yao's eyes widened as she listened to Pei Chiyao's calm recounting of his early life.
The underground boxing ring? The young girl's voice trembled slightly, "Is that the same place you took me to that time?"
The cruelty of that place was already evident.
Zhi Yao never imagined that Pei Chiyao also came from there!
"Yes," Pei Chiyao's voice was light and soft, as if he was talking about someone else's story.
Zhi Yao then remembered the scars on his body.
So that's where they came from.
The little girl instantly lost all her anger.
She reached up and tightly hugged Pei Chiyao's neck, almost crying from the heartache.
Pei Chiyao couldn't stand Zhi Yao's pitying gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. Just as he was about to speak, the little girl suddenly leaned in and kissed him.
He curled his lips in a slight smile, feeling very happy.
He didn't expect that a day of such a tragic experience would turn out so well.
Soon, Pei Chiyao took the lead, kissing her back.
This was a VIP ward, with very few people coming and going.
After the intimate embrace, Pei Chiyao finally put Zhi Yao down, "Yao Yao, I need to talk to the doctor for a bit. You wait here."
Zhi Yao obediently nodded, somehow vaguely guessing what Pei Chiyao wanted to do.
She sat down on a chair in the hallway, just about to pick up her phone to play with, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Mother, what's wrong? Is Mother alright?"
This voice was... Ling Si?
She abruptly looked up at the ward next door, and sure enough, that figure appeared in her line of sight.
Ling Si was rushing into the ward, not noticing Zhi Yao.
At the same time, another voice also sounded.
"Nothing, Mother just wanted to leave again, so she hurt her own hand, trying to escape in the chaos."
Mother...
Zhi Yao couldn't help but tremble.
She wanted to see her...
Wanted to see her!
She quickly walked over, but before she could get close to the ward, she was blocked by the bodyguard at the door.
"Outsiders are not allowed to approach."
Zhi Yao didn't heed them. She stood on tiptoe, trying to catch a glimpse of her mother, but the scene that met her eyes was several tall backs blocking the view.
They surrounded the mother, and Zhi Yao couldn't even see a strand of her hair.
The little girl felt a bit unwilling, but those bodyguards suddenly became ferocious, "What are you looking at? This is not a place for you to come, get out of here!"
Zhi Yao was frightened by their fierce attitude, and hastily took a step back.
Just as she was hesitating, one of the people in the ward suddenly turned back.
Afraid they would take away her jade pendant, Zhi Yao turned and ran away.
She ran very fast, hiding in the ward next door.
After waiting for a while, no one came after her, and Zhi Yao heaved a sigh of relief, but she also felt frustrated.
No, she hadn't seen her mother yet, she couldn't just give up.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhi Yao grew more and more anxious.
She cautiously poked her head out, looking towards the outside. Those bodyguards were still standing guard at the door.
Then someone came out, and Zhi Yao recognized him as the one who had looked back just now.
He was on the phone, seemingly giving orders to the bodyguards.
Soon, the other people left, and there was only one bodyguard left at the door!
Zhi Yao suddenly thought of a plan - she could turn into a fox and lure that person away!
If there was only one person, she would surely succeed!
Zhi Yao took a deep breath, calming her pounding heart, and the next moment, a snow-white ball shot out quickly.
