Chapter 134: Reckoning

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the Lu family was secretly looking for Lu Xiaocha, they found some suspicious points. Pei Anran asked Nangong Yuxiu to help investigate what happened back then.

Of course, Nangong Yuxiu would not refuse. It was just that what Pei Qin had done back then seemed insignificant compared to the others. Moreover, she had yet to succeed, so it was not easy to investigate.

The most important thing was that someone was helping Pei Qin cover up the evidence.

Just as Nangong Yuxiu was going to come back with the evidence, this person deliberately courted death and even kidnapped Lu Xiaocha.

Therefore… this person was so stupid, it was really unbearable to look at her.

Nangong Yuxiu’s arrival made Pei Qin’s body tremble like a sieve.

When she was young, because she knew that Nangong Yuxiu was only a child adopted by her dead mother, she often humiliated and scolded him.

Every time her sister protected Nangong Yuxiu, it made the young Pei Qin even more unhappy. Coupled with her stepmother’s instigation, she secretly bullied him even more.

It was not until the Nangong family came to pick him up that the Pei family found out that he was actually the heir of a hidden family.

That kind of family background was not something that ordinary rich people could compare to. However, other than Pei Anran, the entire Pei family regretted not cherishing the opportunity to befriend Nangong Yuxiu.

Pei Qin was even more afraid, especially since every time Nangong Yuxiu came back to look for Pei Anran, the way he looked at her was cold to the bone. This made Pei Qin even more afraid of this person.

This time, Nangong Yuxiu’s appearance deepened the fear in her heart.

Behind Nangong Yuxiu was a woman in simple clothes. At this moment, Pei Qin was so afraid that she did not notice that person’s existence at all.

“President Lu, Pei Xue is here too.”

Since they were going to settle the score, of course, they would settle everything at once.

Pei Xue walked in trembling. When she saw her mother and Lu Xiaocha sitting on the sofa, her face turned completely pale.

“Mom, what happened?”

She panicked. Wasn’t Lu Xiaocha kidnapped by those people? Why was she still at home?

Although Pei Xue was scheming and resourceful at such a young age, she was still too inexperienced. At this moment, she could no longer hide the guilt in her eyes.

Everyone saw this and did not say anything.

“Let’s figure out what happened thirteen years ago.”

Nangong Yuxiu was like a true young master of an ancient aristocratic family. Just by sitting there, he was like a bamboo. Every move he made could not hide his peerless elegance.

“Uncle!”

Pei Xue’s eyes lit up when she saw him.

From the first time she saw this young man at her aunt’s place, Pei Xue felt that he was very good-looking and wanted to get close to him.

Because he was not only good-looking, but more importantly, he was powerful.

However, her mother was very afraid of her uncle. Every time she heard the name Nangong Yuxiu, she would tremble and not allow herself to approach him.

This made Pei Xue very indignant.

Nangong Yuxiu took a sip of tea and glanced at the girl indifferently. His tone was flat.

“Miss Pei, I want you to know that my older sister is Pei Anran, and I don’t have a younger sister. Therefore, my only niece is Lu Xiaocha.”

The light in Pei Xue’s eyes dimmed because of his words. She subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaocha, unable to hide her jealousy and hatred.

‘Why?!’

The two brothers sitting beside Lu Xiaocha sneered.

Lu Beifeng’s sharp gaze pierced over.

“What are you looking at?”

Lu Beichen’s cold eyes were also filled with anger.

Pei Xue was so frightened by them that she quickly retracted her gaze. Her pale face was covered in cold sweat.

“Thirteen years ago, Pei Qin’s pregnancy was no more than a month apart from her sister’s. When her sister was hospitalized for observation, she also specially chose the ward next door to the same hospital and often came to her ward to ask for information on the grounds of visiting and communicating. In fact, she kept an eye on when she would give birth because you were already planning to swap two children.”

As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked and disgusted by Pei Qin.

Pei Anran looked at Pei Qin as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

Pei Xue looked at her mother in disbelief and even anger.

She was angry at why she hadn’t succeeded then.

Of course, Pei Qin would never admit it.

“What are you talking about? How dare you accuse me without any evidence!”

Nangong Yuxiu smiled calmly. “Don’t worry, I’m not done yet.”

He continued to say unhurriedly, “Unfortunately, you never expected that my sister would give birth prematurely because of the Lu family’s matters. The child in your stomach is already a month younger than Sister’s.

If you force the birth, you’ll get a stillborn or congenital deficient fetus, and it would be too obvious. The doctors won’t help you with that either, so this plan of yours will have to remain dead in the womb.”

Pei Qin’s face grew paler and paler as she sank into despair and panic.

“N-no.”

Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

“But because you were jealous and indignant, when you found a nurse sneaking up on your sister’s ward, not only did you not stop her, you gave her some information. You stopped the doctor who was going to the ward at the last minute, giving the nurse enough time to take the child.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhan and Pei Anran’s faces had completely darkened.

Even the calm and steady Lu Zhan wanted to kill Pei Qin at this moment.

Pei Qin was so flustered that her fingers were trembling. “This… this is all just speculation. I didn’t do anything like that!”

Nangong Yuxiu said, “Did you really think that no one discovered what you did?”

He waved, and the middle-aged woman in plain clothes with mostly gray hair came over.

“Tell me what you saw all those years ago.”

The middle-aged woman nodded. “I was a cleaner at the hospital at that time. I saw that nurse communicate with her with my own eyes and ask some questions. I remember hearing that nurse ask her when the doctor would probably come for ward rounds, when Madam slept at night and if there would be any family members coming to take care of her. She answered very carefully.

I also saw with my own eyes the doctor she went to stop. I didn’t think much of it at the time. After all, she said that she was Madam’s sister. It didn’t seem like it was a big deal to care about her sister asking some questions about Madam.

Now that I thought about it, it was a little strange. The things she asked were all questions. For example, what did Madam want to eat? Was there anything forbidden? And when could she be discharged? Logically speaking, the doctor should have already explained these questions.

I don’t know what happened after that, because I was fired from the hospital shortly afterward, and I don’t know why I was suddenly fired either.”

“Bang!”

Lu Zhan couldn’t help but slap the table. His cold eyes looked at Pei Qin as if he wanted to eat her up.

Pei Qin trembled in fear and quickly shook her head, saying that she had been wronged.

“It’s him. It must be Nangong Yuxiu. When I was young, I beat and scolded him because I was insensible. He must have found this person to slander me because he still holds a grudge. Brother-in-law, I didn’t do it. I didn’t.”
