It has been almost ten days since Pei Yi came to Yuanxiang.

Pei Xuan, who was far away in Haishi, would inevitably miss her daughter.

Her husband, Zhou Ruguang, is obsessed with medicine. He has endless operations and experiments every day, and he has been coming home less and less in the past few years; Pei Li, on the other hand, inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit and lived in the company's office as his home.

When Pei Yi returned to China, she left before staying at home for a day.

As a mother, she naturally knew the reason in her heart, it was for Luo Zhen.

Pei Yi has always had a crush on Luo Zhen.

She was still hesitating whether to urge her daughter to go home, but her sister-in-law Zhou Ruhong took the initiative to contact her, saying that the hospital is not busy recently, and she can pick Pei Yi back to Haishi.

She didn't think too much about it, because Zhou Ruhong and the Pei family were very close, and among the three children, Pei Yi was the one she loved the most.

Because she was worried that Pei Yi would not go home, Pei Xuan waited until Zhou Ruhong arrived in Yuanxiang before telling her daughter about it.

When Pei Xuan received the call, Pei Yi was still in the province for an interview.

As soon as the show ended, she rushed back from the province immediately.

She thought that Zhou Ruhong would come to the hotel to find her, but she didn't expect that the two would meet at the bar——

Moreover, she happened to meet the scene where Zhou Ruhong and Ning Rou were talking.

Does Zhou Ruhong know Ning Rou?

Pei Yi stood there, thinking about something, and after a while, she walked towards the two people in the corner.

She saw the fear, shock, and panic hidden in Ning Rou's eyes, which made her more sure that there must be some kind of connection between Ning Rou and Zhou Ruhong.

But she didn't show it.

Her eyes swept over Ning Rou, very calm and indifferent, and after a few seconds, she turned her head and looked at the kind woman beside her.

"My aunt is here in Yuanxiang, why don't you go to the hotel to find me?"

"Didn't I send the address to my mother?"

Her tone, with a little complaint, was like an angry child, she didn't hide it at all, she just said what was on her mind.

At first glance, you can tell that he is a child who grew up in the love of his family.

Zhou Ruhong's face softened a little when he heard this.

"I went to the hotel this afternoon, but you weren't there."

"Your mother said that you have accepted several interviews here."

"Don't forget, the reporters in Haishi are also waiting for you to go back."

"Have you started preparing for the personal recital next month?"

"Your father and your two older brothers asked me about this two days ago."

The aunt and nephew have not seen each other for a long time.

Ning Rou stood aside, quietly watching the two talking, her back was covered with cold tiles, her hands and feet were cold.

She couldn't hear what Pei Yi was saying, and she didn't have the heart to listen, because all her attention was on Pei Yi's eyes——

Those eyes were the same as hers and Zhou Ruguang's, the pupils were covered with light gray.

She finally knew where the familiarity with Pei Yi came from when she first met Pei Yi.

As early as ten years ago, she had met Pei Yi in the basement.

If I remember correctly, she was only 12 years old that year, while Pei Yi was only five years old.

Five-year-old Pei Yi secretly followed Zhou Ruguang and sneaked into the basement through a secret passage because of her love for playfulness.

She saw a large box covered by a black cloth in the corner of the basement.

Out of curiosity, she lifted a corner of the black cloth, and it was only then that she realized that the thing covered by the black cloth so that no gaps were exposed was not a box, but a big iron cage.

In the cage, there was a girl older than her, wearing a white hospital gown, with a thin figure, huddled alone in the corner with her legs hugged.

There are many patients in the hospital, some are basking in the sun in the yard, and some are lying on the bed to sleep.

Pei Yi had never seen a patient locked in a cage.

The lock of the cage was not locked.

There was no one in the basement, so she approached slowly and took the lock off the door.

She opened the door, waved at the girl, and urged her in a childish voice.

"Come out and play."

The girl heard her voice, but there was no response.

So she pulled the door of the cage a little further.

The door was heavy and her hands were sore, but she didn't let go.

"There's sun outside."

The girl finally moved when she heard this sentence.

The cage was so small that the girl couldn't stand up, so she had to bend over and walk out. Unfortunately, before reaching the door, Zhou Ruguang came back from the medicine room next door.

The iron gate closed, the black cloth fell, and the girl's world fell into a hopeless darkness again.

She leaned against the door of the cage, outside the black cloth, there was the cry of a child and Zhou Ruguang's scolding.

She heard the word 'Dad'.

It turned out that it was Zhou Ruguang's daughter.

Soon, the door of the cage was locked again, and there was a rush of footsteps in the basement, and then, there was no other movement.

The girl pulled the black cloth up through the gap, stretched out her fingers, and the scorching sunlight came in from the window, so warm and yearning.

She saw a small, pink-wrapped candy at the door of the cage.

It was the sweet candy that Zhou Ruhong never gave her.

Ning Rou knew that Zhou Ruguang had a family and a daughter, but she didn't know that his daughter was Luo Zhen's good friend, Pei Yi.

She looked at the girl in the white dress opposite, she was young, beautiful, confident and proud, her gestures were full of elegance and elegance.

It was difficult for her to associate Pei Yi with the little girl back then.

But that's what it is.

Pei Yi was the little girl who broke into the basement and left her a candy.

The more flustered and fearful you are, the easier it is for your ears to hurt.

She couldn't hear the sound, and it was in pain that Pei Yi took Zhou Ruhong away.

The moment she raised her eyes, she saw Zhou Ruhong looking back at herself.

Those eyes were calm and emotionless, but it made her heart sink hard.

***

Pei Yi is a very smart person.

It wasn't until he got back to the hotel that he pretended to be careless and asked Zhou Ruhong about Ning Rou.

"Why is my aunt going to the bar tonight?"

"You don't know that Ning Rou?"

In her tone, one can vaguely hear that the dissatisfaction with Ning Rou is not all true, only some pretense mixed with lies can deceive people better.

Zhou Ruhong's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

"Your mother said that you often go to bars with your friends to party."

"When I called you, your phone was turned off, so I went to the bar to find you."

"As for that woman, I don't know her. I found her cell phone, so I chatted with her a little longer."

"If I didn't want to take you back, why would I come to Yuanxiang?"

The reason is perfect, there is no doubt about it.

Pei Yi nodded, the confusion and incomprehension in her eyes completely disappeared in front of Zhou Ruhong.

She didn't continue to ask any more questions, and after sending Zhou Ruhong into the room, she also returned to her own room.

The hour hand on the wall has passed twelve o'clock.

Pei Yi didn't turn on the light, walked to the window in the dark, and pulled the curtains completely.

She didn't move, just stood in front of the window, her body was hidden in the black, motionless, looking at the hotel's door——

Just like she was waiting for Luo Zhen to appear before.

This stop is a full two hours.

Just after two o'clock in the morning, she saw her aunt going out from the door of the hotel, heading in the direction of the bar.

This point happened to be the time for Ning Rou to get off work.

Pei Yi hid in the darkness, just watched Zhou Ruhong quietly, and left all the way.

On the last day of the night shift, I encountered such a thing.

All of Ning Rou's good moods disappeared.

How did she get up so happy?

Her heart has never been so tired as it is now.

Zhou Ruhong came to Yuanxiang not to pick up Pei Yi, but to warn herself.

She wanted to call Luozhen, she wanted to tell Luozhen her grievances, she wanted to tell Luozhen all the truth about her——

Living with a secret is too painful.

She thought that one day, she would not be able to hold on.

From the bar to Pingyang Road, she was lost all the way.

Only thinking of Baby Ning at home made my heart feel a little more at ease.

She thought that Zhou Ruhong would not come looking for her at this late hour, but she didn't expect that when the cart passed by the old alley, she still saw Zhou Ruhong in the corner at the end of the alley.

Obviously, Zhou Ruhong appeared here just to wait for him.

Before she could speak, a gentle, pure and moist woman's voice sounded in her ear.

"Why do you still want to contact Luo Zhen?"

"Do you know how much risk I took to let you go back then? How much did I do for you to prevent them from finding you?"

Zhou Ruhong's voice was full of reprimands.

Ning Rou left, the experiment was forced to stop, and the amount of money lost was unimaginable for ordinary people, not to mention the medical bases that were forced to close down.

After Ning Rou became pregnant, the pregnancy membrane showed signs of life. At that time, Zhou Ruguang was abroad, so she concealed this matter. She also secretly broke the pregnancy membrane tracking device, and it took three full months before it was repaired.

It was also within these three months that Ning Rou left Tianhai City.

If the distance was too far, the tracker would not have much effect. Zhou Ruguang couldn't find anyone, so she went to the forum and posted a bounty post. She also tried her best to persuade Zhou Ruguang to delete the post looking for someone in private.

Zhou Ruhong looked at Ning Rou's face, her chest rose and fell slightly due to anger.

Ning Rou's words are always very few.

Not expecting an answer, she took a card from her bag and handed it over.

"I'm here this time, and I still hope you don't go back."

"What he wants now is not you, but your daughter."

"Here is a card, enough for you and your children to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

"As for Luozhen, don't contact me any more."

"If she knew that you gave birth to a daughter for her back then, do you think she would just ignore it?"

"Her career, her relatives, and herself are all rooted in Haishi. If you don't want to harm her, you'd better not tell her anything."

"Without you, it's not a bad thing for her, because she will meet someone who is better, better, and more suitable for her—such as Pei Yi."

"The Pei family can bring her career to a higher level. When her mother had a difficult childbirth, it was Pei Yi's father who saved them both. Her younger sister, Luo Baiyue, was also delivered by Pei Yi's father. As for Pei Yi, We have been good friends with her since childhood, and the two of them have the same topics and hobbies, if they can be together, it will be a good thing for the Luo family and the Pei family."

Zhou Ruhong calmly analyzed the pros and cons of Luo Zhen and Pei Yi being together, with a calm and soft voice.

Ning Rou pursed her lips and listened quietly, without any expression on her face.

It was as if her heart was pinched hard, and she couldn't even breathe in the pain.

She feels sad.

In all her life, she had never felt as uncomfortable as she is now.

She has always regarded Zhou Ruhong as a relative, and she also thought that Zhou Ruhong also regarded herself as a relative, that's why she did so many things for herself.

In those cold and painful days and nights, Zhou Ruhong was her only light and gave her the only family affection in this life.

But now, she found that compared to Pei Yi, she was nothing.

Zhou Ruhong never regarded her as a relative.

As long as Zhou Ruhong has a little love for her, she will not say such indifferent words just now.

She opened her lips, and there was endless sadness and pain in her throat.

After a long time, he asked lightly.

"Pei Yi calls you aunt, don't I?"

"If not, why did you save me in the first place?"

"Let me die in the laboratory, on the operating table, in those operations, wouldn't that be enough?"

"I thought there was family affection between us."

Four inquiries in succession slowly sounded from the air.

Zhou Ruhong's complexion changed instantly.

It never occurred to her that Ning Rou knew about her life experience a long time ago.

Her hands began to tremble, because she was too flustered, and her five fingers lost strength for a moment, and she couldn't even pick up the card.

She didn't know how to answer Ning Rou's words.

Several minutes passed before he spoke again, and had to tell another secret.

"I promised your mother that I would rescue you and set you free."

After saying this, she couldn't stay any longer.

In the darkness, she saw Ning Rou looking at herself, those gray eyes were clean and flawless, but full of sadness and heartbreak.

Almost running away, she turned around and walked out of the alley without even picking up the cards on the ground.

Ning Rou's tears also burst at this moment.

Outside the old alley, Pei Yi hid in the dark shadows, the expression on her face could no longer be described as shock.

She couldn't believe what secret she had heard tonight—

Ning Rou gave birth to a daughter for Luo Zhen, and Ning Rou is her half-sister.

Every sentence between Zhou Ruhong and Ning Rou completely shattered her impression of her happy family.

She saw Ning Rou covering her face and crying, so wronged and pitiful, like a kitten that was ruthlessly abandoned by its owner, weak and helpless.

She seemed to see Ning Rou standing under the sun again, sweating profusely, blushing, frowning, looking for photos seriously.

She finds it incredible—

This woman whom she looked down upon from the first time they met was actually her older sister.

The sobs sounded intermittently in her ears, which made her extremely agitated, but she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

In these restlessness, she remembered a little bit of vague memory——

The black cloth, the iron cage, the girl, Zhou Ruguang's scolding, and a candy she once threw on the ground.

That was Zhou Ruguang's first and only time scolding her.

There is no way she will forget.

But the fact is that she doesn't remember anything, and she didn't recover this memory until she saw Ning Rou squatting in the corner crying tonight.

She remembered some things again. After being taken out of the basement by Zhou Ruguang that day, she saw a doctor and fell asleep. When she woke up, she completely forgot about it.

Ning Rou was still crying, and the crying seemed to tell her that her father, the doctor who she admired, was the proudest, admired the most, and loved the most since she was a child, was secretly a terrible demon.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Rou, feeling chills pouring out of her heart.

Both for Zhou Ruguang and Ning Rou.

She took out her mobile phone and called her mother, Pei Xuan, in the middle of the night at 02:30 in the morning. With a trembling voice, she asked a question that she didn't want to ask but had to.

"Mom, did Dad get divorced once before he married you?"
