Chapter 317 - 317 Master Pei: "Who bit you?"
317 Master Pei: “Who bit you?”
Ten minutes later, Qin Bingjie was tied to a chair by Su Ji.
When the door was closed again, Qin Bingjie began to cry and curse Su Ji with all kinds of vicious words.
Then, Su Ji also covered her mouth.
She didn’t bring any tranquilizer this time.
Xu Ni quickly rolled up her sleeve to check the wound on her wrist. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t expect her to be so agitated today. I’ll pay for all the medical expenses. Don’t worry, my mom is not sick except for her mental problems. She won’t infect you or anything…”
Su Ji pulled back her arm and lifted her chin at the wound on her face that was bleeding. “I’ll sell you a bottle of scar removal cream later.”
Xu Ni replied, “alright!” I’ll buy it no matter how much it costs!”
Su Ji smiled and looked at the closed door. “How long has your mother been like this?”
Xu Ni looked back at his mother, who was still trying to break free with her mouth gagged. She lit a cigarette and began to tell her the story.
Her mother was ill because of her.
Her mother was an extreme person. When she got pregnant before marriage, her family advised her to abort it, but she insisted that she was pregnant with a son and that she could enter the Xu family with a son.
In the end, she turned out to be a daughter. Qin Bingjie couldn’t accept it, hence the deception.
She had indeed managed to enter the Xu family by deceiving everyone, but she had to use more and more lies to hide the fact that she had a daughter.
From then on, she started to lose her mind.
In the early years, it was only intermittent, but as Xu Ni grew older, there were more and more things that needed to be hidden. Qin Bingjie couldn’t bear it and felt uneasy every day. She was afraid of the serious consequences if she was exposed.
In the long run, it evolved into her current illness.
However, Qin Bingjie had one thing that was quite impressive. Even when she went crazy, she would never reveal the fact that Xu Ni was a girl.
Lu Ailian thought that she just had mental issues. For the sake of her family’s reputation, she did not even get a doctor to treat her. She was locked up in this two-story bungalow, so that family scandals would not be spread to the public.
Xu Ni also hated her mother’s vanity, but at the same time, her heart ached for her. Her mother had not done any bad things except for lying about her gender.
When Xu Ni finished, Qin Bingjie was also tired. Her face was full of tears, and her makeup was ruined. She was completely different from when she first came downstairs.
Xu Ni felt uncomfortable and annoyed.
After that, she and Su Ji sent her upstairs to lie on the bed. They closed the door and went downstairs. Su Ji said, “I’ll prepare some medicine next time.”
Xu Ni glanced at her wrist and said weakly, “treat your wrist first. Don’t worry about her. She won’t be cured in a short time anyway.”
The phone in her pocket vibrated. Su Ji took it out and saw Pei Huai’s WeChat message.
[ “I’m here.” ]
Pei Huai had come to pick her up.
When Xu Ni sent Su Ji out, Lu Ailian, who was still entertaining the guests, looked suspicious. However, when her eyes met Su Ji’s, she put on a professional fake smile.
Pei Huai parked the car and saw her come out.
She had her hands in her pockets.
Xu Ni was next to Su Ji. There was a wound on her face. Fortunately, it was not deep and had already formed a scab.
Pei Huai got out of the car and looked at the two of them, frowning.
He thought they were fighting, so he pointed at Su Ji and asked Xu Ni, “she did it? ”
“Ah?” Xu Ni asked.
For a moment, she thought that Pei Huai was going to reprimand Su Ji. However, the next second, she heard him say in a calm tone, “let’s settle this privately.”
As he spoke, he took out his card.
Su Ji: “…”
The corner of Xu Ni’s mouth twitched, “no.”
“I see,” Pei Huai retracted his gaze. He wanted to bring Su Ji into the car, but he happened to be holding Su Ji’s injured wrist.
Su Ji frowned and did not say anything.
Xu Ni knew that she was covering for her.
Xu Ni was also afraid that Pei Huai would get angry if he knew about it. However, she took a breath and called out to him, “CEO Pei!
Pei Huai stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
Xu Ni said, “she’s also injured, on the wrist that you’re holding now!”
Pei Huai’s expression, which had been calm all this while, instantly sank.
He lifted Su Ji’s wrist to check and saw the bite marks. They were so deep that scabs had yet to form. His expression was extremely ugly.
At a glance, Pei Huai knew that her muscles were also injured.
“Who bit you?” His tone was extremely cold.
Xu Ni lowered her head, “my mother.”
Su Ji looked at Pei Huai. “I’ll tell you when we get in the car.”
Pei Huai was silent for half a minute before he convinced himself to open the door.
Xu Ni kept her head down and didn’t look up until the car drove away.
**
Pei Huai was silent the entire time. He didn’t ask why Qin Bingjie bit her, but whether it hurt. Then, without waiting for her answer, he answered his own question, “you won’t tell me even if it hurts.”
He drove all the way north. Instead of sending Su Ji home, he drove to Huichun Hall.
Su Ji let him be.
When they entered Huichun Hall, Pei Huai was holding her other hand.
How did she even get injured in just a few hours?
It was just the first day of the new year, so there were not many patients. Pei Song planned to leave after finishing his work in the morning. Just as he walked to the door, he looked up and saw them.
“What’s going on?” Pei Song knew that something must be wrong for them to be here.
Pei Huai walked towards the medicine cabinet. “Getting some medicine.”
Pei Song could tell from his expression. “Su Ji is injured? What do you need, I’ll help you look for it.”
“Bite wounds.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Song paused for a moment. He turned around and looked at the two of them suspiciously.
“Bite…wounds?” Pei Song immediately thought of what he heard in the corridor last night.
“You bit her? Tsk, tsk, how can you be so harsh?”
Su Ji wanted to laugh, but she held it in. Pei Huai looked at him with a terrifying expression. “You think I’ll do that to her?”
Pei Song did not say anything. If it was not his brother, then things would be serious.
He didn’t ask any more questions and brought Su Ji inside to disinfect her.
Pei Huai, on the other hand, was preparing the medicine for Su Ji outside.
When Pei Song was disinfecting Su Ji, he only asked who bit her when his brother could not hear him.
Su Ji told him about Xu Ni’s mother.
Pei Song frowned after he heard that. “Mental problems are the hardest to cure.”
He seemed to understand why his brother’s expression was so ugly. It was not illegal for mental patients to kill, let alone bite.
He was probably heartbroken.
“Next time, let Pei Huai go with you. From what you said, the attack was quite serious. Your friend’s mother’s condition is so bad, yet she still brings you there. I don’t think you should try too hard.”
“I want to try it.”
