He suddenly grasped Lin Man's chin, and said under Lin Man's astonished gaze: "If you want to see my mother, why bother making so many troubles? I'll let you see her."

what?

Pei Yan's words made Lin Man think that he meant that he agreed to let her meet Pei's mother. She was delighted, but before Lin Man could stand up, Liu Lin covered her mouth.

“Hmm…!”

Lin Man took two breaths, and the next moment, she felt sleepy. Her heavy eyelids became blurry, and when she met Pei Yan's dark and cold gaze, she could no longer resist, and fell to the ground with her eyes closed. The expected pain did not appear, and she fell into an ice-cold embrace, so cold that it made her shiver.

The last voice echoed in my ears, "Sir, the old lady's car has arrived."

Mother Pei...Mother Pei came to save her!

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man in his arms, "You are finally smart for once. If the person who came today was Ji Ze, guess what I would do? It's a pity that I am destined to disappoint you today."

He said slowly: "Because I'm not going to let go." Pei Yan's voice kept echoing in Lin Man's ears. She wanted to open her eyelids and slap him immediately, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes, so she could only let Liu Lin do what she wanted...

When she opened her eyes again, everything in front of her was dark. "Hmm...!" Lin Man looked ahead and saw a ray of light suddenly appear in front of her. Her wrists were restrained behind her back and she could not move. Lin Man could only rub her body slowly and pace towards the direction of the light.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Lin Man looked through the gap and saw Pei's mother walking in with someone. Her face was solemn, and she was as kind as Lin Man remembered, except that she had a few white hairs on her temples. Lin Man's eyes suddenly became moist.

Pei Yan was sitting in the living room smoking, the smoke made it difficult to see his expression. When he saw Pei's mother coming, he stood up and said, "Mom, why are you here?" Lin Man watched quietly, watching Pei Yan's superb acting skills.

If she hadn't heard his conversation with Liu Lin before she fell into a coma, she might have really thought that he didn't know that Pei's mother was coming. Pei's mother was carrying a bag and looked around as soon as she came in. When she couldn't find anyone, her face suddenly became serious.

"Don't fool me! Where is Manman? Where did you hide her?"

I could only watch through the gap as Pei Yan helped Pei's mother sit on the sofa. He flicked the ash off his hand and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? She and I have already divorced. Do you think I should know her whereabouts?"

He spoke nonchalantly, as if he didn't care at all.

Mother Pei didn't buy it. "No one knows a son better than his mother. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Ah Yan. I asked you about your opinion when we got married. You're my son. How can I, as your mother, force you to do something you don't want to do?"

"But you didn't object at the time. If you didn't object, you should have treated the girl well after the marriage. But what about you? You used to be unwilling to attend banquets, but now you have scandals just two or three days after the marriage. I don't think any of those 18th-tier celebrities are good. None of them can compare to Manman, but you did it anyway. Those red carpet nude photos, which one of them didn't want to use your fame to rise to fame overnight."

"But not only did you not suppress it, you also indulged those media to write nonsense and never came home. Mom knows that you are forcing Manman to file for a divorce. Although I don't agree, you are my son. Mom supports you in whatever you do. I thought that I would give Manman some money when the time comes, and don't let outsiders think that my Pei family treats her daughter harshly."

"Then you met the girl from the Gan family. She is Yuxi's sister. It's understandable that you took care of her, but what did you do? Manman is your wife. How could you allow someone to surpass her position?"

"Ah Yan, Manman is a smart girl. She is suitable to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. It is you who has restricted her development and hurt her heart so many times. Now that she has finally decided to let you go, can't you let her go?"

Pei's mother spoke earnestly and Lin Man kept nodding. She thought what Pei's mother said was very good. If her hands and feet were not tied, she really wanted to applaud Pei's mother.

Aren't she and Pei Yan a pair of resentful lovers? In the past, she clung to him like a grudge, and now he haunts her like a ghost.

Pei's mother's words were so emotional that the maids present were all moved, but Pei Yan's eyes remained indifferent. He watched Pei's mother wipe the non-existent tears from her eyes, "Mom, have you acted enough?"

Mother Pei paused, "You little bastard!" She knew what kind of person her son was, so she said these words on purpose, hoping to arouse his inner guilt. However, she didn't expect that the little bastard would not buy it at all. His stubborn look made Mother Pei helpless for a moment.

"Since you're divorced from Manman, she's my goddaughter! Now she's in danger, and you don't care, I'm going to find your father!"

Everyone in Hai City knew that Pei Zhenting treasured his wife the most. When Pei's mother was pregnant with Pei Yan, Pei Zhenting was so heartbroken that he almost didn't want the child just because Pei Yan kicked her in her belly.

He was once the top leader of Hai City, and was transferred far away because of Pei's mother's willingness. But Pei Yan had nothing to say, because he was like his father, a person who was only willing to make amends but not regrets.

Wrong is wrong, he admitted it, but now he wanted to take Lin Man away, even if it was his biological mother, he couldn't do it. "Mom, I do know where Lin Man went, do you want to know?"

Pei Yan's voice made Pei's mother pause in her action of holding the phone. She looked doubtful. It must be said that Pei's mother understood her son. When he refused to give in, people were helpless, but when he suddenly gave in, people felt that he had some ulterior motive, but Pei's mother could do nothing.

"Okay, then where did Manman go? Did you take her away privately?"

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan's curled lips and had a bad feeling in her heart.

As expected... The next second, Pei Yan said calmly: "After I divorced her, she got together with Ji Ze. Now the two of them... are probably abroad."

Pei Yan said, waving his hand. Liu Lin handed over the photo in her hand, "Madam, this is the plane ticket for President Ji and Miss Lin to leave the country. They left a week ago. President Pei went to see Miss Lin off. President Pei said that even if they are divorced, they can still look for him if they encounter difficulties abroad in the future."

This...sounded a little strange to Pei's mother.

But she didn't know what the problem was, but Lin Man knew that if Pei Yan was sure in his heart that you had nothing to do with him anymore, he wouldn't even look at you even if you died on the street, let alone ask him for help after the divorce.

What Liu Lin said was ridiculous.

Pei's mother was confused. She took the photos from Liu Lin's hand and looked at them carefully again and again. She even carefully handed the photos to the assistant behind her. When the assistant nodded, Pei's mother was still worried, "How did you get these photos?"

Pei's mother cast a suspicious look at Pei Yan, but he just sat on the sofa, lighting a cigarette, without moving.

Liu Lin chuckled and said, "Madam, Mr. Pei's family members have to take a special plane to leave the country. When Mr. Pei and Miss Lin divorced, they did it in a low-key manner. The outside world didn't know about it, so the Aviation Bureau... contacted Mr. Pei."

"Boss Pei was in a meeting at the time, and I answered the call. Later, I relayed the message to Boss Pei. When he learned that Miss Lin was going abroad with Boss Ji, Boss Pei asked me to see her off and express his regards."

Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!

Who is Pei Yan? One is his ex-wife, the other is his brother. Will he express his regards to these two people? Say hello to them when they die!

Lin Man suddenly felt that Pei's mother only understood Pei Yan as a son, but if she regarded Pei Yan as a man, Pei's mother would have no idea where to start. Liu Lin did not understand Pei Yan, so she made up such clumsy words, but Lin Man would not believe a word of it.

Lin Man looked through the gap at Pei's mother's gradually wavering appearance, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She had spent so much effort to get Pei's mother to come over, and now she was downstairs. Lin Man had to think of a way to save herself and not let all her efforts go to waste, otherwise Pei Yan would not know how to torture her tonight.

Thinking of Pei Yan's madness that night, Lin Man felt her hands still twitching slightly, which made her feel frightened unconsciously.

"Ayan, it really wasn't you who did this?"

Pei Yan didn't answer. He stamped out the cigarette butt and said, "Mom, who told you that Lin Man is with me?" Pei Yan's words made Lin Man's heart rise to her throat.

Mother Pei hesitated for a moment, then took out an earring and a letter from her bag. "Someone wrote me a letter with Manman's things. The housekeeper took it out from the mailbox. I didn't want to believe it at first, but this earring is indeed a gift from me to Manman. She likes to wear it the most and never takes it off. I called her but there was no news. How can I feel at ease?"

Pei's mother's words made Lin Man feel relieved. As long as no one else was implicated...

Pei Yan's eyes swept across lightly, but never stopped for a moment, "Mom, you will make Dad worry about this."

"It's just a letter."

"Mom knows that I was careless, but these are indeed Manman's earrings. Can the diamonds on them be forged? If someone really used diamonds worth millions to deceive me, what was he trying to achieve?"

This is what puzzled Pei's mother. She made this trip just because of the earring. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, at least she felt at ease.

"Maybe it's just a prank."

Pei Yan brushed it off lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden bang!

Mother Pei was startled. She looked around in confusion, "What's that sound?"

It hurts…it really hurts!

Lin Man squinted her eyes in pain, tears welling up in her rosy eyes. If she could have opened her mouth, she would have shouted out loud without caring about anything.

There was a stinging sensation on her forehead... She even felt that it was scratched by the barbs on the wooden board. Fortunately, she succeeded. She hoped that Pei's mother could find her as soon as possible, Lin Man prayed in her heart.

The servants in the living room lowered their heads and no one spoke. The huge living room suddenly fell silent. Pei Yan rested one arm on the sofa, his dark eyes swept in one direction, and then he calmly withdrew his gaze.

"It's okay. The pet at home is disobedient. We feed her with good food and drink. Not only does she bite people, but she also tries every means to run into other people's arms. What do you think? Should we educate her properly?"

Pei Yan's words made Pei's mother look at him suspiciously. Why did she feel that this didn't sound like a pet?

Suddenly, there was another bang, louder than the last time. Mother Pei was startled. She couldn't help but ask, "A Yan, what kind of pet is this? Why does it sound so ferocious?"

Mother Pei said this with some nervousness, "Ayan, you can't keep things that bite people, do you hear me?" Mother Pei's voice was serious.

Pei Yan's eyes were calm, his long eyelashes slightly swept down, hiding the expression in his eyes, what kind of pet? Pei Yan's mind unconsciously recalled Lin Man's appearance, was she a fox who was relying on the power of the tiger?

Her charming and lively upturned eyes did resemble a fox, but Pei Yan then shook his head in his heart. Foxes are smart and know how to judge the situation, but Lin Man is obviously not one of them. That woman is as stubborn as a donkey. Does that mean he has a donkey in his villa?

"Don't worry, mom. It's just a... rabbit."

Mother Pei wanted to say something, but Pei Yan had already stood up. The cold moonlight shone on him, and there was a sharp feeling. "If everything is fine, I'll have someone take you back."

"If you really miss her, I'll have someone check her phone number abroad, and you can call her anytime then."

Hypocrisy! Lin Man's forehead was in great pain. She stared at Pei Yan through the gap. She didn't understand how Pei Yan could say these words so casually?

Didn't he feel guilty at all? He imprisoned her openly and now he was brazenly saying these words in front of her.

Seeing Pei's mother's brows wavering, Lin Man kept shaking her head, "Um...!" But her weak voice was quickly swallowed up by the darkness, without causing any ripples.

Finished!

Pei Yan suddenly tilted his head and looked at her with dark eyes. It was like the endless night, silent and cold. Lin Man's eyes met his and anger rose in her heart. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat!

A bad thought started to occur in my mind...

What if the contract issue was Pei Yan's way of testing her from the beginning?

What if Ji Ze hadn't asked him to meet from the beginning? Why did Lin Man think Pei Yan could find her hiding at the door once but not the second time?

This is Pei Yan's territory, there are surveillance cameras everywhere...

Lin Man's heart sank gradually. She closed her eyes and her guesses became stronger and stronger. If she could find out that there was a problem with the contract, why couldn't Ji Ze find it?

What Pei Yan was testing... was her irrational concern for Ji Ze.

Lin Man's heart felt like it was soaked in sea water at this moment. Her nails dug into her palms, forcing her to wake up. If all this was Pei Yan's test, then she must not stay here tonight, she had to leave.

When I raised my eyes, Pei's mother had already walked to the door and was about to leave after taking one more step forward.

Lin Man's heart sank a little bit...

Is it really impossible?

Just when Lin Man was in despair, a man ran in.

Lin Man remembered him. He was the assistant that Pei Zhenting left behind to take care of Pei's mother.

After the man said a few words in Pei's mother's ear, Pei's mother's face changed and she suddenly pushed Pei Yan's hand away.

"Ah Yan, since you said Manman isn't here with you, I guess you don't mind if mom sends someone to search for her, right?"
