Chapter 222

"Speak your mind directly," Pei Jing said. After getting along for a few years, they understood each other to some extent.

Pei Jing looked straight at her. In her eyes, there seemed to be a layer of mist, blurry, so that one could not see the bottom of her heart.

With just one glance, Pei Jing knew her heart knot was still not untied.

"I just feel she's not easy either. Look at the birth of these children, she was busy before and after every time, and I heard her health has not been good since that hospitalization..." The rest went unsaid but the meaning was clear.

Pei Jing did not force her either, just gave some advice and persuaded her.

After all, they were relatives. No matter how big the disagreements Zhou Nan and An Jingzhi had in the past, they have been trying their best these past few years.

Even if they were not by her side, they would often send things to the children.

He had never mentioned An Jia's matters in front of her before. It was only this once, as he saw Zhou Nan's haggard state and felt she was truly pitiful.

Zhi Xia fell silent.

She could see Zhou Nan's dedication.

And her conscience would not let her say that it was all voluntary.

But she was also afraid. Afraid that after giving her true heart, what she would get in return was still harm.

Was it not good that everyone just got along plainly, with no one able to hurt anyone?

Pei Jing gave Zhi Xia time to think it over, knowing of her inner turmoil, and did not push her.

Because everyone knew Zhou Nan had it hard, but the biggest victim in this matter was still Zhi Xia.

The harm she had suffered in her childhood were pains that would stay with her for life.

There was a knock on the door. Pei Jing called out, "Come in."

Liu Jun and his colleagues pushed the door open with solemn looks, not a trace of familiarity on their faces.

Having learned from Pei Jing yesterday that they would be discharged today, Liu Jun had come over as soon as he started work.

Shen Hongmei's rescue had failed. That made things much easier.

After all, it had only been Pei Jing and Shen Hongmei at that time. Wang Caixiang had already identified Shen Hongmei. The charges were confirmed. As for Shen Hongmei's purpose of sacrificing her own child to replace Zhi Xia's, as well as the grievances between Zhi Xia and Shen Hongmei, it depended on what the couple said.

Zhi Xia barely said anything, only answering a couple sentences when asked about herself. Pei Jing handled the rest.

Afterwards, Liu Jun and the others left.

The room fell quiet again.

"It's over now. Let's get ready and go home?" Pei Jing asked her.

"Mm," Zhi Xia nodded.

"Then you two wait here for a bit. I'll go pay the fees."

Zhi Xia nodded again.

After a long while, she felt a shadow fall over her face with her eyes closed. Opening them, she saw him standing silently at her bedside, gazing at her.

Zhi Xia was shocked. "What's wrong?"

Wasn't he going to pay the fees? Why wasn't he moving?

Pei Jing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were completely clear.
