Dating After Divorce - Chapter 50
Pei Xuan, who was sleeping, was awakened by her daughter’s phone call. She never thought that she would hear such a question.
She wanted to say no, but she knew how smart her daughter was.
Even if she didn’t say it, Pei Yi had more ways to find the answer to the question.
She didn’t deny it.
“Yes, your father was married before.”
“Where did you hear about this?”
Pei Yi in the alley just heard the word ‘yes’, and his heart went cold.
She didn’t want to talk anymore, just left a sentence “what a friend said” and hung up the phone immediately.
When she raised her head again, Ning Rou had already pushed the car into the old home.
She subconsciously wanted to follow.
If every word she heard tonight was true, it meant that Ning Rou was completely different from the weak image she saw on the surface.
If she is Ning Rou, can she bear all this?
No need to think about it, Pei Yi knew that she couldn’t do it.
She rarely pitied others, but at this moment, she couldn’t help feeling sympathy for Ning Rou.
Especially when she remembered the memories of her childhood, her heart became heavier.
She couldn’t hold back, she still stepped forward, came to the depths of the alley, hid in the darkness, watched Ning Rou push the bicycle to the corner and locked it, and slowly walked up the stairs step by step under the weak street light.
Ning Rou’s back was so thin, yet so straight, as if no matter what happened, she couldn’t be crushed.
Pei Yi looked at the slender figure and went upstairs, her lips pursed tightly, and her hands clenched into fists unconsciously as they pressed against her side.
It wasn’t until the last room on the fifth floor was lit that she took her eyes back and turned to look at the yard in front of her.
The old building is dilapidated and old, with dust everywhere, and the corners of the walls are also full of wild weeds, which look extremely dirty.
She had never seen such a place.
The last time I followed Luo Zhen, I just stood across the road and watched from a distance, I didn’t know the living environment inside would be so bad.
She couldn’t tell what it was like, she just felt like she was holding back a breath, but she couldn’t let it out.
Zhou Ruguang joined Pei’s family. When he married Pei Xuan, he was only twenty-five years old, and this year, he is only sixty years old.
There is no doubt that he is a very excellent medical talent. It only took ten years to become the top obstetrician and gynecologist in China, and he is also well-known internationally.
When Pei Yi was born, his career was already very successful. In the future, as Pei Yi grew older, he became more and more famous and received more and more honors.
In Pei Yi’s growth stage, he was definitely a perfect role model and perfect father.
But now, this perfect image seems to have collapsed.
Pei Yi thought of the words Ning Rou said – ‘Dead in the laboratory, died on the operating table’, and his hands and feet unconsciously felt cold.
Thinking of Zhou Ruhong’s statement that Ning Rou had given birth to a daughter to Luo Zhen, she immediately guessed what the experiment Zhou Ruguang had been busy with a few years ago.
She didn’t dare to think about it, and she didn’t want to believe that her most beloved doctor, father, who was often grateful to his patients, was the kind of devil who hid behind his back, imprisoned living people, and used them for experiments.
How she wished these things were false.
But that childhood memory reminded her from time to time that everything was true.
In order to make her forget the meeting with Ning Rou, Zhou Ruguang found someone to hypnotize her.
Maybe it’s time to go back to Haishi, go back to the basement of the year, and take a look.
Pei Yi left. For some unknown reason, she persuaded Zhou Ruhong to let Zhou Ruhong leave Yuanxiang with her.
Perhaps it was because she felt pitiful for Ning Rou.
Back to the sea market, it has been two days.
Zhou Ruguang has a private study at home. On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter. The only key is always with him.
Pei Yi disguised herself well, and when she came back from Yuanxiang, she didn’t show any strangeness. She wanted to go into the study, but couldn’t even open the door.
Later, Zhou Ruguang called and reprimanded her, telling her not to always run to the third floor.
Only then did she know that Zhou Ruguang had installed surveillance cameras in the corridor outside the study.
Having been warned once, she never went to the third floor again.
She remembered the hospital back then, but ten years later, the hospital had already closed down.
As for the basement, she couldn’t find the entrance to the secret passage at all, let alone go in, she didn’t even know where it was.
She couldn’t find anything.
But I also know what Zhou Ruguang’s deliberate cover-ups represent—
What she heard that night was, most likely, true.
She wanted to ask Pei Xuan what kind of experiment Zhou Ruguang was doing, but Pei Xuan didn’t know anything; she asked her two brothers again, but she didn’t come up with anything.
In the entire Pei family, no one knew the secrets that Zhou Ruguang carefully hid.
Except for her, everyone felt that Zhou Ruguang was a good husband and father, and everyone felt that they lived in a happy and harmonious family.
For a while, Pei Yi didn’t even dare to stay in this house.
At noon that day, Pei Xuan asked the cook at home to cook a large table of meals, saying that it was a rare time for the family to get together, so she called Zhou Ruguang and Pei Li back to have a meal together.
Pei Yi didn’t want to eat at all.
She didn’t know how she should face Zhou Ruguang.
But she couldn’t refuse, she saw the pride and happiness that flashed in Pei Xuan’s eyes when she mentioned her husband and son.
She stayed at home after all.
When eating, everything is so normal.
Zhou Ruguang, as usual, first chatted with Pei Li about the company, and then asked Pei Yi how the concert was prepared.
After hearing Pei Yi say that preparations had already started, he smiled and praised.
“You are still as sensible as you were when you were a child, and you never have to worry about your father. Perform well in this concert. Dad will bring some friends to participate.”
Pei Yi has heard this sentence countless times.
Zhou Ruguang has always been proud of her achievements on the piano, and more than once said in front of the whole family that among the three children, the person he likes and is most satisfied with is her.
Occasionally, even her brothers would joke that her father only had her little sister in his heart.
It can be said that a large part of Pei Yi’s desire for honor is to satisfy Zhou Ruguang’s vanity and make himself the proudest daughter of Zhou Ruguang forever.
But at this moment, when she looked at Zhou Ruguang’s face, she only felt extremely strange——
She couldn’t help guessing that the reason why Zhou Ruguang was so good to her was because he had done too many unconscionable things to another daughter, so he subconsciously transferred those guilt and compensation to her.
Just thinking about it, her heart felt a chill unconsciously, her fingers trembled, and she couldn’t even hold chopsticks.
She thought of Ning Rou again, of Ning Rou’s cry, of Ning Rou’s thin back standing upright in the moonlight.
At this moment, she couldn’t sit down any longer. After pushing the tableware and chopsticks aside, she rushed out of the house.
***
It has been the fifth day since Luo Zhen returned to Hai City.
Luo Zhenting’s matter was not as easy to handle as she thought.
That woman had a nine-month-old belly. The night before she came back, she accidentally fell. The location was Luo’s garden. At that time, Shen Rumei was also there.
The child was saved, but the woman took advantage of the situation to make things worse and asked Luo Zhenting to divorce Shen Rumei immediately.
If Luo Zhen hadn’t come back in time, I’m afraid her wishful thinking would have come true.
Luo Zhen knew Shen Rumei’s character and knew that she would not do that kind of deliberately hurtful things. That’s why she reminded Luo Fanxing in advance not to let Shen Rumei argue with that woman.
The fear is that this is the case.
The days of returning to Yuan Township may have to be delayed for a while.
Although Xiang Ting said that the egg retrieval operation could not happen without the client’s knowledge, but when she remembered what Luo Fanxing had said and the unspoken love that Ning Rou had for herself in her heart, she was still a ghost. The baby’s hair and her own hair were handed over to Xiang Ting.
And today is the day of the results.
Considering that there may be a group of people looking for Ning Rou secretly, she entrusted Xiang Ting to do this paternity test in her personal name. In this way, the test report will not be uploaded to the database, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The place where we agreed to get the report was at Xiang Ting’s house.
Luo Zhen set off at noon and arrived before twelve o’clock.
Looking at the sealed paper bag in her hand, her heart beat fast.
Xiang Ting didn’t know the result, but she could see her nervousness. As a doctor, she comforted her.
“Hopefully the result is what you want to see.”
Luo Zhen was stunned when he heard the sound, and after a while, he pursed his lips and smiled, his expression relaxed.
“thanks.”
At noon, the sun is at its greatest in the sky.
Although the temperature in Haishi was not as high as that in Yuanxiang, it was not something that Luo really could endure.
After a while, she got into the car.
She drove by herself, and there was no one else in the car.
It wasn’t until she confirmed that the doors and windows were closed that she finally summoned up the courage, opened the paper bag in her hand, and took out the thin identification result inside—
Both unexpected and expected.
Between her and Ning Baobao, there is more than 99.99% probability of parental authority.
In other words, two people are related by blood.
From the moment she saw the numbers, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
She didn’t know how Ning Rou did it, but the appraisal equipment would not lie, and the appraisal results would not lie—
The other half of the blood in Ning Baobao’s body really came from her.
She lowered her head, her eyes only blinked slightly, and a tear rolled out of her eyes.
She didn’t want to cry, but the tears just flowed out.
The fact is in front of her eyes, Ning Rou has never betrayed her, and Ning Rou will always be Ning Rou.
She didn’t know how this child came. Maybe, when she came back next time, she should give Ning and Ning baby a paternity test.
Back at Luo’s house, it was exactly two o’clock in the afternoon.
Luo really was about to drive the car into the old house, but unexpectedly, a person suddenly rushed out under the green belt on the right side of the gate.
A person who she did not expect to appear in the sea market——
Pei Yi.
Pei Yi stopped in front of the car, and she had to stop the car.
But she didn’t get out of the car, and she didn’t even open the car window. She didn’t lower the window until Pei Yi reached out and knocked on the glass.
She didn’t think she had anything to say with Pei Yi.
The sun outside is very bright and sunny.
Pei Yi must have waited for her for a long time, her forehead was covered in hot sweat, and even her two most cherished hands were stained with a little mud.
Luo Zhen didn’t sympathize, just stared coldly at the face that made her extremely disgusted, and didn’t say a word.
In the end, it was Pei Yi who let go first.
“Have you contacted Ning Rou these days?”
No matter how much Zhou Ruhong loved her, Pei Yi couldn’t deny that what her aunt said to Ning Rou that night was too cruel and too heavy.
Ning Rou can cry, which is not difficult to understand at all.
If it was her, she would only cry more than Ning Rou.
She vaguely guessed that Ning Rou would not tell Luo Zhen about this, because Ning Rou was so repressed and forbearing even when she cried.
Luo Zhen raised his head, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.
She obviously didn’t expect that Pei Yi had been squatting at the door of Luo’s house for so long, actually to inquire about Ning Rou.
Her expression changed slightly, her eyes were full of inquiry, as if she was guessing whether Pei Yi had another bad idea in her heart at this moment.
“Is the matter with Ning Rou related to you?”
Her answer was cold and sarcastic.
Pei Yi knew that Luo Zhen didn’t want to talk to herself at all now, but she still didn’t leave.
She pursed her lips, and there was not much blood on her cheeks. She put her hands between the window slits, and there were some transparent sweat stains on her fingertips.
After a long while, he quivered his lips, lowered his voice, and gave a vague reminder in a deliberately disguised calm tone.
“If you don’t find her any different from before.”
“I advise you – go back to Yuan Township to see her immediately.”
The author has something to say: Regarding what the role of Pei Yi does, let’s look at it separately. She is too self-aware and has a set of standards for doing things that she resolutely implements. The standard of stubbornly thinking that what she does is not a particularly strong harm to that person, (selfish and arrogant, but not pure selfishness), and she will apply this standard to herself ( For example, being hurt, but by her standards, she may not feel that it is hurt to herself), in the later stage, she will pay the price for what she did to Luo Zhen back then
