When Jing Chu returned, Pei Yi had already drafted the email and set the timing for the email to be sent automatically.
Noticing that she seemed a little troubled, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I saw my mother at Sis Qiao An’s place.”
Pei Yi stood up and sat down beside her, “You mean, your biological mother?”
She answered with a nod, “Yes, she’s Qiao An’s mother as well. Turns out, we’re half-sisters…”
She explained to him everything that happened.
After hearing her words, Pei Yi was utterly speechless. Although his mother had always been cruel to others, she had never let him suffer any hardship before and she had never once given up on him even during their toughest times. It was also the very reason why he was willing to sacrifice his own happiness by marrying Tian Tian for the sake of fulfilling his mother’s wishes.
“It doesn’t matter, you won’t be meeting her again in the future anyway.”
Jing Chu nodded and said, “That’s right. I just feel a little peeved and vexed. Are you done with packing yet?”
“Yes, I’ll be done after sorting all these documents on my computer. However, I think you can call An Xiaoning now to tell her that you’re still alive. After all, I don’t think she knows yet since she probably wouldn’t be paying much attention to the news about R Nation.”
“Alright, sure, I’ll call her right now.”
She had long wanted to call An Xiaoning but never got his permission. Now that he finally allowed her to do so, she was definitely more than glad to call An Xiaoning.
The call went through quickly.
“Hello, who’s speaking?” An Xiaoning asked.
Feeling a little nervous, Jing Chu answered, “It’s… it’s me, Sis Xiaoning. I’m Jing Chu. Do you still remember me? You once saved me from the Widows’ Village.”
“Oh my god, Jing Chu? I really didn’t expect to hear from you again. Where are you now?” An Xiaoning asked in surprise. She had always thought that Jing Chu had already passed away.
“Sis Xiaoning, the people who took me away back then tried to burn me alive, but Pei Yi saved me. I’m married to him now and we have a son together.”
What a piece of… groundbreaking news!
“Wait, isn’t Tian Tian Pei Yi’s wife? Didn’t she give birth to the child too? Did you assume Tian Tian’s identity?”
Jing Chu explained, “No, the child belongs to me and Pei Yi. Tian Tian was only the surrogate mother because my mother-in-law wanted Pei Yi to marry her. Hence, he did so in order to fulfill her wishes. However, we came clean and explained everything to her afterward. Pei Yi and I got married after he divorced Tian Tian.”
Having understood what Jing Chu meant, An Xiaoning said, “Oh, I see. You two are fated to be together, then. That’s great. Is Pei Yi beside you now?”
“Yes, you may talk to him,” said Jing Chu, who then passed the phone to Pei Yi.
He answered, “It’s me.”
“Pei Yi, you’re really something, huh? You brought Jing Chu away for so many years and you didn’t even inform me. Are you carrying the world on your shoulders?”
He chuckled and answered, “I’m not that capable. I’m just afraid that those crooks will come and search for her again. I have something to tell you, though.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m withdrawing from the DK Organization.”
An Xiaoning was extremely astonished. Although the DK Organization was currently in a disadvantageous predicament, An Xiaoning knew clearly that its members were not allowed to just leave as and when they’d like.
“Have you come up with a seamless plan?”
“Yes, I have. Am I worthy of being your friend now?”
An Xiaoning laughed and said, “Yes, you are. However, I’m sure you’re well aware of how relentless and ruthless the DK Organization is. You must be very careful.”
“My life is rather valuable, actually. I’m not going to die so soon. However, since we’re friends now, I must tell you something. Friend, we’ll probably never meet again.”
“Alright, all the best.”
Pei Yi smiled and said, “I’m glad to hear that from you. Rest assured, as long as you don’t hear any bad news about me, it means I’m alive and well. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye. Take good care of Jing Chu and the child.”
“I will.”
After ending the call, Pei Yi said to Jing Chu, “She has always been unwilling to regard me as her friend because of my identity and status, even though I actually saved her life before.”
“You saved her once and she had saved your wife once too. What’s there to say? You two are even.”
Facts!
Knock-knock! Qin Guo said, “Ancestor, the people from the headquarters are here.”
Jing Chu panicked and looked at Pei Yi, who then patted her hand in a bid to comfort her. He then said to Qin Guo, “Got it, I’ll go down right away.”
As soon as he left, Jing Chu followed closely behind him stealthily.
However, there was no point in her doing that since she was not allowed to eavesdrop on the conversation between Pei Yi and the people from the DK headquarters. Hence, she had no choice but to wait outside the door.
“May I ask you a question?” Qin Guo asked.
“What is it?”
“Have you divorced Ancestor or not?”
“Of course not. We’re getting along so well and our relationship is so stable. Why should we get a divorce? Ms. Qin, are you hoping that we’d get a divorce?”
Qin Guo frantically denied it. “Of course not. I just haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“I went on a vacation. Didn’t you notice that I’ve gotten tanner? Ms. Qin, I really can’t figure out how your brain works. Do you actually suspect that couples have gotten a divorce just because they’ve been away from each other for some time?” Jing Chu quipped with a smile.
Smiling wryly, Qin Guo answered, “That’s not what I meant, of course. Madam, you’re so ambitious, though. You actually went on a long vacation all by yourself. You barely even came home to visit your son.”
Jing Chu rebuked, “That’s our family matter. Master Pei doesn’t even have any objections. Who are you to tell me what to do?”
Qin Guo was speechless.
After a moment of silence, Qin Guo said, “I feel that Ancestor has changed ever since he met you.”
Staring at her, Jing Chu asked, “Changed? In what way, exactly?”
“Madam, don’t you know how to make the comparisons yourself?”
Jing Chu could not be bothered to continue talking to her. However, she actually began recalling the way Pei Yi used to be when they first met and compared it to the way he was now.
The greatest change that happened to him was that he had stopped being obstinate and resolute. In fact, he had even begun making compromises and giving in to her.
There were major changes in his personality too.
She had changed as well.
She had gone from yearning to live a peaceful life to yearning for love. What Jing Chu wanted the most now was to live a blissful and stable life with her husband and son.
Hence, she had been working hard and putting all her effort into achieving her goals.
They had both changed for each other.
They had also changed because of each other.
Wonderful.
Surprised to see her outside the meeting room, Pei Yi asked, “What are you here for? Why aren’t you resting instead?”
“I was waiting for you.”
To the dismay and disgruntlement of Qin Guo, Pei Yi held her hand gently with tender affection.
“Let’s go back. Qin Guo, tag along. I have something to tell you,” he said.
“Alright.” Qin Guo followed him into his room.
