Chapter 229: Do you see me dead?
d subdued from before. "Sit here."“Okay.” Xiang Wan walked with difficulty to the chair and sat down. But her back was stiff, her buttocks only touching the edge of the seat, her right foot pointing o...He glanced at the few people at the door, and Lao He's gaze, as if tangible, fell on Xiang Wan. It certainly wasn't kind.
A wave of sweat drenched A-wei's head, and she lowered her head, trying to casually wipe the perspiration off.
"I apologize for the intrusion, Grandpa He." Pei Song glanced at Old Master He. He seemed energetic but had lost a lot of weight and didn't look very healthy. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Then Old Master He shifted his gaze from towards the evening to him, "Who are you"
"Dad, this is that boy from the Pei family." said He Family's eldest son with a grin.
Hearing this, Old Master He's already unpleasant face became even worse. He glanced at Pei Song, "What are you doing here as a member of the Pei family To see if I'm dead"
He is the head of the He family, his aura far surpassing that of He Hanchuan. Pei Song didn't even dare to look up, he just lowered his head and said: "Grandfather He is joking, I am just..."
“Tell your grandfather, no matter if I live or die, he won’t get any benefits from our He family. Let him give up this idea!” Old Master He roared, “Big brother, see him off!”
"Hello, Boss Pei," said He Lao Da as he walked up to Pei Song. "Let's go."
"I'll just say a few words to Grandpa He and leave," Pei Song said. He didn't dare be disrespectful in front of the three elders, but he was also afraid that if he left like this, Old Master He would blame him again for what happened with Wan.
Si Tu's pupils shrank, and her breathing was slightly more rapid than usual.
Old Master He turned his head to look at Pei Song, his gaze unfriendly.
Before he could open his mouth to drive them away, Pei Song hurriedly said: “Earlier today, two of my bodyguards accidentally bumped into Miss Xiang’s car. After learning that she was pregnant, they were worried about the baby in her womb and rushed her to the nearest hospital.”
"I've been delayed on the road and only just now returned Miss Xiang. I hope Grandpa He will forgive me."
Hearing that Xiang Wan was pregnant, both He brothers simultaneously looked at Xiang Wan's stomach. He eldest remained with his usual smiling face, but He third’s expression showed undisguised wariness and hostility.
Master He glared at Pei Song with cold eyes, his gaze like a blade. "Was it your people who hit Xiang Wan's car and then took her away"
向晚 bowed her head and subconsciously held her breath.
She could almost guess that Old Master He was so angry because he hated Pei Song's ambition. If it weren't for his meddling, she would have been sent to prison by now.
But in Pei Song's view, the reason Old He was so angry was entirely because his men almost hurt Xiang Wan's child in her belly.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, “They had a few drinks and accidentally hit Miss Xiang’s car while driving.” “But I’ve already taken Miss Xiang to the hospital for a check-up, she and her baby in her belly are fine.”
After finishing his words, he turned his head to look at Xiang Wan, "Right, Miss Xiang"
Grandpa's gaze followed and landed on Xiang Wan, finally stopping at her stomach. His expression was unreadable.
"...Hmm." Facing the scrutiny of Old Master He, Pei Song, and the two He brothers, Xiang Wan didn't dare say another word, fearing that she might accidentally say something wrong and be caught in a lie.
Old Master He twisted his brows and asked in a low voice, "When did you..." have a child
"The child in Miss Xiang's belly is two months old and very healthy. This car accident didn't hurt the child at all. Young Master Pei is really lucky." Pei Song was afraid that Old Master He would blame him. If his grandfather and father knew he had caused trouble outside again, they would definitely not let him off!
The other day's news, he could get beaten up by them, if Old Master He comes knocking this time, they who knows what they would do!
Elder Master He furrowed his brow, then relaxed it only to furrow it again. He asked Pei Song, "Are you sure"
"Confirmed and affirmative!" Pei Song said, "I personally went with Xiang Miss for a check-up. The child is healthy and safe, not a single thing wrong!"
Towards the end, her forehead, nose, palms, and back were all covered in sweat. She lowered her head and remained silent, allowing Old Master He and his two brothers to size her up.
"Alright, you can go now!" Old Master He said.
Hearing this, Xiang Wan's heart relaxed slightly. She hummed softly, her pace appearing steady but actually quickening as she hurried towards the elevator.
But just as he had taken two steps, he was called back by Old Master He from behind, "I let the Pei family boy leave, why do you leave Come back!"
Towards Evening's body stiffened, her brows furrowed.
"I told you to come back, didn't you hear me!" Old Master He roared.
"Grandfather He is calling you, go quickly." Pei Song gently reminded Xiang Wan, but the warning in his slyly raised fox eyes told her not to speak out of turn.
Towards Evening, who raised her head to glance at him, straightened her spine and turned around, taking step by step toward Old Master He, as if walking on blades of a knife and fire.
Pei Song didn't linger, leaving directly.
"Are you really pregnant with Hanchuan's child" He Lao San asked impatiently, "How could it be that you get pregnant just at this time It's too coincidental, isn't it"
He Lao Da nodded, "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence."
Master He frowned and glanced at the two brothers, a flash of vicissitudes in his eyes, but he quickly turned his gaze to Xiang Wan.
"Are you guys doubting me" Facing the stares of three people, Xiang Wan's finger trembled slightly.
He smiled kindly and said, "It's not that I doubt you, just casually asking. Don't be too nervous."
“I can lie on my own, but Pei Shao just made it very clear that he accompanied me for a checkup. The child is already two months old and very healthy.” Xiang Wan said, “Could it be that Pei Shao would also help me lie”
He Lao San said, "Maybe you and that Pei family kid have gotten into a mess and are expecting a child so that you can split the inheritance!"
Mr. He's face darkened immediately, it wasn't clear whether it was because he was unhappy about the word "inheritance," or because He Lao San's guess was too foolish, or perhaps because he believed He Lao San's words and was unhappy.
"Lao San!" He Lao Da said unhappily, "With medicine so advanced these days, Dad is sure to be alright. What unlucky talk are you spouting!"
He Lao San seemed displeased with his words, but he didn't say anything more.
"If I hear you say another word about inheritance, you won't get a single penny!" Old Master He roared angrily.
He Lao San gave him a sheepish smile and whispered, “Dad, don't be angry! You know, I wasn't good at studying since I was young, I'm just a rough person. My words and expressions have never been as careful as my elder brother. What I just said was just off the cuff, there is absolutely no other meaning!”
"I know you don't mean any harm, but be careful not to say such things in front of others. Someone might take it the wrong way and use it against you." Old Master He said.
"A flash of unwillingness crossed Lao Da's eyes before he smiled and said, "Lao San just isn't clever. Dad wasn't oblivious to this for the first time."
