Dating After Divorce - Chapter 104
Pei Li’s idea of sending Pei Xuan away coincides with Luo Zhen’s suggestion.
In the current situation, allowing Pei Xuan to stay in the sea market is just to provide Zhou Ruguang with a bargaining chip.
With such a big incident at home, Pei Yiyuan still doesn’t know anything when he is abroad.
When he received the call from his sister, he was still teaching students.
The three brothers and sisters of the Pei family had a good relationship since childhood, and their love for Pei Xuan was as expected.
Pei Yi didn’t hide it, she divorced Zhou Ruguang and kept her ex-wife in the study.
As she guessed, her eldest brother offered to return to China without any hesitation.
“Don’t tell mom about this.”
“I’ll talk about everything when I get back.”
Compared with his younger siblings, Pei Yi’s character is the most mature.
Even now, his voice was calm.
“The students are still waiting for me in the classroom.”
“After class, I’ll contact you again.”
Pei Yi clutched the phone and made a soft “um”.
This wait is a full four hours.
The video call was connected, and Pei Yi saw not only his sister, but also his brother.
In just a split second, he guessed that what happened at home was far more serious than he imagined.
“Dad’s ex-wife, didn’t she die long ago?”
Come to think of it, he had long known that Zhou Ruguang had been married.
Pei Yi was stunned when he heard the sound, and before he had time to ask, his brother’s voice came again.
“It was my grandfather who told me before he died.”
“Dad he–what’s the matter?”
***
When Pei Xuan wanted to go abroad to see her son, Zhou Ruguang naturally wouldn’t stop her.
Only this time, he raised one more condition.
“Your eldest brother has to go to class every day, and your mother goes to his place. There is probably no one to accompany you during the day. Otherwise, ask your sister to come with her.”
This requirement is not excessive.
In the past, Pei Li would only think that this was a sign that his father cared about his mother.
But in fact, it is clearly not the case.
If I guessed correctly, the reason why Zhou Ruguang took Pei Yi away was to make the house empty——
Like every October.
He wanted to turn Pei’s house into his own home.
Thinking of the wheelchair in the utility room, Pei Li’s palms unknowingly burst into a layer of wet sweat.
“Alright.”
“My little sister’s foot injury should be healed soon.”
“It’s more reassuring to have her with my mother.”
Zhou Ruguang smiled satisfied when he heard this answer.
After leaving the hospital, Pei Li didn’t go back to the company, but drove the car home.
Pei Xuan was taking a nap in her room after having lunch.
Pei Yi, on the other hand, was chatting with the housekeeper Kang Bo in the garden.
As she guessed, in addition to the statutory holidays, the servants at home can take turns to rest, and every October when Pei Xuan and Pei Li go out to travel, they will also take a small long vacation.
In Zhou Ruguang’s words, he was the only one in the family, and he didn’t need anyone to wait all the time.
Paid vacation, who would refuse?
Kang Bo was in his 60s and had worked in Pei’s house for decades. He wondered why Pei Yi would suddenly ask this.
“Miss Third, is there a problem?”
“The wife knows about this, and it is allowed.”
Pei Yi shook her head and forced herself to smile.
“Nothing, just curious to ask.”
“Kang Bo, it’s alright, you can go to work.”
One old man and one young man were talking, and Pei Li’s car just came in through the gate.
Seeing her brother coming back, Pei Yi immediately greeted her.
The siblings entered the living room one by one.
Pei Li frowned. Just looking at his appearance, he knew that sending Pei Xuan away must have encountered obstacles.
“Second brother, what did Dad say?”
Pei Li sighed with a hint of helplessness on his face.
“Dad agrees, but asks you to accompany mom.”
“Should I accompany my mother?” Pei Yi’s lips were slightly loose, a trace of puzzlement flashed in her eyes, and it took a few seconds to react. “Dad wants to take us all away?”
Pei Li works overtime all year round. If it wasn’t for Pei Xuan, she probably wouldn’t go home several times a month.
Once Pei Xuan goes abroad, he will definitely continue to sleep in the office.
The four people surnamed Pei are not there, and the Pei family is Zhou Ruguang’s territory.
I’m just afraid that the servants at home can have a holiday again.
Pei Yi’s expression changed slightly, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She didn’t know until then why Pei Li had that look when she came home.
“My foot hurts, it’s okay.”
“Since he doesn’t want me to stay at home, then I’ll go with my mother.”
“Second brother, when you get the ledger, we can end this.”
Pei Yi’s words were full of expectations, but they were so indifferent.
It could be heard that she was completely disappointed with Zhou Ruguang.
A good home has somehow become what it is now.
Pei Li looked at her sister’s face and couldn’t help but ask.
“You have a good relationship with her, Ning Rou, and you?”
Although they are related by blood, how many days do they really get along?
Pei Li believes in the law and is willing to make the right choice to uphold justice.
But from an ethical point of view, he really couldn’t understand what his sister did.
After all, Zhou Ruguang was their biological father.
Pei Yi lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before raising his head to answer.
“I did something wrong, I’m sorry for their family.”
“What’s more, my father is not very kind to me.”
“If he really regarded me as his daughter, he wouldn’t have taken me to hypnotize me when I was so young, and he wouldn’t have forced me to play the piano for his own benefit, knowing that I was sick.”
“No matter what consequences he has to bear in the future, he deserves it.”
***
No one knows about Pei Yi’s return to China except for Pei Li and Pei Yi.
On the day Pei Xuan left, Zhou Ruguang personally went to the airport to see him off.
But he would never have thought that the plane that his wife and daughter were on did not fly abroad at all.
As soon as Pei Xuan and Pei Yi left, only Zhou Ruguang and Pei Li were left in the Pei family.
In the name of work, Pei Li said that he would not go home for the last week night.
Zhou Ruguang’s reaction was calm on the surface, and the next day he gave the servants at home a holiday.
Although Pei Li was in the company, he still heard about it from Kang Bo.
You don’t need to think about it to know that the wheelchair in the utility room is probably also taken out.
***
There were a total of five people who participated in Zhou Ruguang’s experimental plan, three of whom died, one was mentally ill, and one was missing.
Luo Zhen investigated the backgrounds of several people, and it didn’t take long before he found out which mental hospital the sick woman was in.
When Ning Rou fled, the experiment was forced to abort, and the medical institution closed a few years later, and the five researchers went to different cities.
The woman’s name is Jian Xue. She left Haishi and moved to Fenghe County in the south, where she worked in a small pharmacy.
In a small county, the salary is not high, but she quickly bought her own house.
It was a good day, but for some reason, suddenly one day she went crazy in the pharmacy and attacked the guests with a knife.
A good person is crazy if he says mad.
Luo Zhen called Zheng Bang out of Yuan Township, and the two went to Fenghe County together. First, they went to Jian Xue’s house to have a look, and then went to find the guest who was stabbed by her at that time.
“Oh, you said that six years ago.”
“That woman, like a lunatic, was originally standing at the counter, but she didn’t know why she was crazy. Suddenly, she took out a knife from the drawer and stabbed me. At that time, I was so scared that I almost lost my soul.”
“If it wasn’t for the security patrols on the street at the time, I would be dead now.”
The speaker was a woman in her fifties.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her right hand.
Sure enough, there was a half-inch-long scar on the inside of her forearm, which should have been left at that time.
Luo Zhen frowned, stared at the scar a few times, and quickly realized that something was wrong.
“You said that she suddenly went crazy and attacked people?”
“Yeah, she was talking to me one second ago, and the next second she took out the knife. She usually looks normal. Who knew she had this disease? Fortunately, the hospital caught her, otherwise, she would definitely still be It will hurt people.”
Luo Zhen nodded and continued to ask.
“How was this matter resolved later?”
Speaking of this, the woman’s tone was very puzzled.
“How to solve it is not private.”
“It’s really strange to say that she works in a pharmacy, but she didn’t expect to have a lot of savings at home, and she actually paid out 100,000 yuan in compensation in one go.”
Luo Zhen didn’t find this strange.
Most of that money is the hush money you get when you leave the institution.
I just don’t know what happened later, forcing the six companies to kill people.
Asked what he wanted to ask, Luo Zhen thanked the woman and left.
If you want to know what happened back then, of course, you still have to find Jian Xue herself.
After all, she is thirty-eight years old this year.
She entered Zhou Ruguang’s institution at the age of 24 and left at the age of 32. In the past six years, she has also lived in a mental hospital for six full years.
This wounding case was very noisy at the time, not only the police were dispatched, but also the media reported extensively.
The day after the incident, Jian Xue was sent to a mental hospital, and has never come out since.
The nurses at the hospital were surprised to hear that someone came to see her.
“Are you her friend?”
Luo Zhen nodded with a very natural expression.
“Yes, I’m her friend. Her mother was sick recently and asked me to come and see her.”
Jian Xue is the youngest daughter in the family with an older brother, but died four years ago.
As for her mother, she is sixty-five years old this year.
Perhaps because of her children, her health is getting worse and worse.
Recently, she was hospitalized every day, and she hadn’t seen Jian Xue for a long time.
The nurse heard Luo Zhen’s words and no longer doubted.
“No wonder Ms. Jane’s mother hasn’t shown up for so long.”
“Ms. Jane’s mental state is not very stable, and she still has a tendency to hurt people and violence, so she has not been arranged to be discharged from the hospital.”
“You go to the yard and wait, I’ll call her out.”
It is said that it is a mental hospital, but it is actually similar to an ordinary hospital.
The patients in the yard are all wearing hospital gowns, some are listening to music with headphones, some are playing chess, and some are singing and playing by themselves. It looks harmonious, like a small nursing home.
However, some of the patients are very young, and some may not be adults.
There was an empty bench in the yard, Luo Zhen found a place to sit down, and a few minutes later, the nurse came over with a short-haired woman.
A shadow fell in front of him, and when he looked up, Luo Zhen saw a calm and gentle face.
The woman’s eyes do not see any aggression.
It’s hard to imagine that such a person would do something to hurt someone with a knife.
Before Luo Zhen could speak, Jian Xue became irritable.
“She’s not my friend, I’m leaving! I’m leaving!”
After saying that, she reached out and squeezed the nurse’s arm and dragged the person out.
The mood of a mentally ill person is always changing.
Luo Zhenchu was in his seat, not knowing how to react.
Fortunately, the nurse was experienced, and with just one sentence, the woman calmed down.
“You really don’t know her?”
“She said she went to the hospital to see your mother.”
Jian Xue really cared about her mother, and when she heard the nurse’s words, she immediately shut up.
As a mental patient, I have to say that her reaction is really fast.
“What happened to my mother?”
“Why did you go to the hospital again?”
She asked the nurse, but how did the nurse know what disease her mother had?
Luo Zhen stood up from his seat and walked towards Jian Xue.
“Auntie accidentally fell down at home, but luckily she was found by neighbors before she was sent to the hospital.”
Jian Xue’s expression changed slightly, and there was a little confusion in her eyes.
“Who are you?”
“Why are you going to my house? Why are you looking for me?”
It can be seen that she is very defensive.
When speaking, both hands were still tightly gripping the nurse’s arm and would not let go.
Luo Zhen had already investigated Jian Xue’s background, and when she heard the question, she quickly responded.
“You are from Qingmen County, Haishan Province. We used to be from a community. Later, when you went to Haishi Development, we broke up contact.”
“I also moved to Fenghe County recently. I accidentally saw the news from a few years ago. I knew that you and my aunt lived here, so I came to see you.”
Although it was made up, Luo Zhen said it carefully, not to mention that the nurse believed it, Jian Xue herself gave a soft “oh”.
“Oh, I remember, we know each other.”
“We used to be neighbors.”
Hearing her say this, the nurse finally felt relieved.
“Since you are friends, let’s talk first.”
Jian Xue relied on the nurse very much and listened to her very much. Hearing these words, she let go of her hand and walked out from behind her.
In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in front of the bench.
It was still Jian Xue who spoke first.
“Why did my mother fall?”
She still cares about her mother.
Luo Zhen didn’t hide it, and said what he inquired about.
“It was the nanny’s problem. She gave her aunt a bath, but left early. The aunt stayed in the bathroom alone and accidentally stepped on the water and fell.”
“The nanny has been fired and the housekeeping company has paid compensation.”
“It’s a pity, what’s the use of paying more money?”
“Auntie said she really wanted to see you.”
Luo Zhen’s words changed Jian Xue’s expression.
She pursed her lips, but didn’t speak again, looking like she was thinking.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen let go again.
“The doctor said that Auntie’s illness requires rest, and it is best to have someone beside her to take care of her.”
“She is an old man. She usually encounters unfair things and has nowhere to reason. Just like this time, she was left at home by the nanny, and she couldn’t find anyone to help.”
“It’s heartbreaking to look at at such an age.”
These words brought a lot of influence to Jian Xue.
“You are my friend, you take me to see my mother, okay?”
A very natural request, just what Luo Zhen expected.
But this is not so easy to do.
The procedure for a mentally ill person to be discharged from the hospital is very cumbersome. With Jian Xue’s current state, she will definitely not be able to meet the discharge requirements.
Luo Zhen shook his head with a serious expression.
“Sorry, I can’t take you out yet.”
“However, I have other ways for you to meet Auntie.”
After all, she took out the tablet from her bag.
After a while, a hospital bed appeared on the screen, and the person lying on the bed was Jian Xue’s mother who was hospitalized.
The old lady was awake and was taking a needle on the bed. Jian Xue looked at the opposite camera and swayed. After ten seconds, her mother sat up from the bed.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen took the initiative to walk away.
Jian Xue then called to the screen.
“mom.”
The old man’s eyes immediately turned red.
Jian Xue is still cautious and full of precautions.
Before speaking, she did not forget to ask in a low voice if there was anyone else in the ward.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while and quickly made things clear.
As Luo Zhen said, the old lady was indeed injured because the nanny left without permission.
Jian Xue spoke in a low voice, and Luo Zhen stood so far away that she couldn’t hear anything clearly.
For some reason, she always felt that Jian Xue’s behavior and expression were normal at the moment.
normal to-
Not like a mental patient at all.
