His wife was reading a book in the study while Pei Huai went to the soundproof room to answer the phone.

The call took only three minutes. After working for his boss for a long time, Shen Mu was very efficient in reporting things.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Huai sat in the broadcasting hall for a full half an hour.

An old movie was playing on the big screen in front of him.

Gone with the Wind.

It was something that Madam Du did not finish reading in the morning.

The first time Pei Huai saw Madam Du watch this movie was when he was four years old.

Ms. Du didn’t have much entertainment on a daily basis, and she only liked a few movies. She would take them out whenever she thought of them and watch them over and over again over the years.

Gone with the Wind was one of them.

Madam Du’s character was completely different from the female lead.

However, people would always be attracted to people who were the opposite of themselves.

In the movie, the roar of war pulled the man’s thoughts back to reality.

Pei Huai pressed his eyebrows deeply, not knowing why he suddenly thought of these old things.

He placed his palms on the sofa’s armrest and got up. He went to the study next door…

Of course, Su Ji heard the door open, but she was unmoved. She stared at the line of words she saw.

Until the man’s footsteps approached and stopped at the position closest to her, appearing in her unavoidable field of vision.

“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.” The girl’s voice was extremely cold. “I’m in a bad mood now. Don’t bother me.”

However, just as she finished speaking, her entire body flew into the air and was actually carried horizontally by someone.

The scene in front of her turned around and Pei Huai sat in the seat she had just sat in.

And she was on his lap.

Very good.

He was still not afraid of her.

Not only did Pei Huai provoke her, but he also directly took away the medical book in front of her that she had almost turned into a mess in the past few days and threw it to the side.

“Stop reading,” he said. “Look at me.”

Su Ji lowered his voice. “What’s there to see? I know what you look like even with my eyes closed!”

She deliberately provoked him, but Pei Huai was still not angry.

Pei Huai said, “you have such a deep impression of me? It would be my honor.”

Su Ji did not want to talk to him anymore.

“Su Ji,” Pei Huai called her a few seconds later. Su Ji’s long eyelashes fluttered.

Pei Huai would only call her by her full name when he wanted to discuss serious matters with her.

She resisted almost instinctively. “What do you want to say??”

She turned around, her eyes cold and chilly. “She’s just sick. What are you trying to say??”

Pei Huai looked at her solemnly. This kind of unlimited tolerance intensified the uneasiness in Su Ji’s heart.

She recalled the instructions Pei Huai and Madam Du had just given her, and her temper flared up.

She tugged at the collar of his shirt. The seat under her creaked, and her knuckles turned pale from the force.

She had lost a lot of weight, and her thin pale green blood vessels were obvious and prominent.

“Why did you ask for the wedding to be brought forward? Are you afraid that she won’t be able to see her daughter’s wedding? Do you think she won’t even live until then?”

She finally lost control of her emotions. The blood vessels in her eyes seemed to be about to devour her rationality in the next second. Pei Huai seemed to see himself, the same hysterical person in front of the coffin that he had personally built.

Su Ji’s feelings for her mother were even greater than that for him, but he would not be jealous.

The only person he wasn’t jealous of was Madam Xu.

However, he was even more worried because he knew about Su Ji’s feelings for Madam Xu.

This was the first time Pei Huai had seen his wife lose control like this. His heart was torn apart by her, so much so that he instantly forgot all the more tactful opening words he had prepared in advance.

“I found out that your mother went to Lucheng City on the day you gave birth,” he said directly, his voice extremely soft.

Su Ji’s figure froze in an instant. A loud bang exploded in her ears. She seemed to not hear anything after that. She only felt that her hand was trembling as she held onto him.

Her palms were cold and sweaty.

Lucheng City.

When Su Ji was trapped in the Great Shang, Pei Huai also went there.

Bian Guan lived in Lucheng City for generations.

“Why did she go there?” Su Ji had an answer in her heart as she asked.

“She might have made a deal…” Pei Huai answered truthfully.

Su Ji’s entire body trembled violently.

It was the Heavenly Dao’s favorite game, “equivalent exchange”.

She thought of Bian Tong and Xiao Tong.

Her mother, and her daughter who had barely survived…

The emotions that she had acc.u.mulated over the past few days erupted like a flash flood at that moment. Pei Huai’s words just now were still like the devil’s voice from h.e.l.l. Recently, she had been unable to fall asleep because every time she closed her eyes, she would dream of her mother’s appearance before she died. Those fragmented images were now attacking her violently.
