Chapter 13: Failed Escape
The next day, Pei Xin was kicked awake by the nanny just as the sun rose.
When she saw the person in front of her, she subconsciously protected the sleeping child.
The nanny's expression was harsh, and her eyes were fierce. She threw the tray of food on the table, and the juice splashed the whole table.
"You're still asleep? How can you call yourself a young miss!" The nanny's tone was filled with hostility. "If you're awake, hurry up and eat. Don't go around complaining again that you have no food."
Once the nanny left, Pei Xin fully processed what happened. She didn't recall complaining to anyone. What did the nanny mean? She got up to check the food. Although some of the juice had spilled on it, everything on that try was still fresh.
Thus, she carefully woke Ling Lin up. Pei Xin was finally given a full meal after her release from prison!
After dinner, other than the servants who were cleaning up the house, the Lu family were all sound asleep.
In the room, Pei Xin was busy recalling her conversation with Ling Lin yesterday. The child no longer had a father. If she died on the operating table, wouldn't he become an orphan?
As if she had made up her mind, Pei Xin stood up and quickly packed her things.
"Mommy, are we leaving?" Ling Lin was woken up to wash up. He looked at Pei Xin with sparkling eyes and anticipation on his face.
"Yes, let's go home and look for my brother."
Pei Xin thought about the whole situation. For the sake of her child, she would fight for her right to not end up on the operating table. At this hour, no one in the Lu family would notice the mother and son running away. Therefore, she might as well take this time to escape and go back to find Ling Jin. The three of them would leave this city together.
Even if she had to live in the shadows for the rest of her life, it was still better than dying on the operating table.
After packing what she came with, Pei Xin brought Ling Lin and carefully avoided the servants who were patrolling around as they rushed towards the main entrance of the Lu family home.
However, the two of them did not walk for long before a car stopped in front of them.
The moment she saw the car, Pei Xin knew that she would not be able to escape today. The person in the car was either Lu Li or Lu Huai. She didn't think that Lu Huai would stop in front of her for no reason.
She tightened her grip on Ling Lin's hand and hurriedly turned around to leave.
"Stop!"
Lu Li's voice came from behind after a few steps. Apparently, he wasn't going to let them leave that easily.
Pei Xin slowly turned around and smiled at Lu Li. "Good morning."
Lu Li was carrying a sleepy child in his arms. He looked about the same age as Ling Lin. The child was wearing a tailored suit like an adult, and his hair was neatly combed to one side.
Pei Xin guessed that this was the child of Lu Li's sister, Lu Nan. When Pei Xin was pregnant, Lu Nan was also pregnant. Similarly, she did not get married and kept the child.
Hearing Pei Xin's voice, the child rubbed his heavy eyelids with his hands, and then his gaze was attracted by Ling Lin, who was holding on to Pei Xin's hand.
Children were sensitive to other children's presence. Once there was another child at home, it meant that they would have to divide the attention of the adults. This included their time, their gifts, and their love! How could there be another child at home? His sleepiness immediately dissipated. He pointed at Ling Lin and asked, "Who is he? Why is he in my home?"
Lu Li followed his finger and looked at Ling Lin. He couldn't help but frown. It was the little b*stard again. "He's just a b*stard's son. You're not allowed to talk to him or play with him. He's dirty."
Ling Lin could not help but look down at his clothes. Although they were a little old, they were not considered dirty. Moreover, he took a shower every day because he was told to keep clean, so he wasn't dirty either.
Pei Xin felt the child's dejection. She wanted to retort outloud, but she could only pinch the child's palm and mouth to him, "You're not dirty."
Lu Li frowned at Pei Xin and asked coldly, "Where are you going with that b*stard?"
Pei Xin lowered her head and did not dare to look into the other party's eyes. "We wanted to stroll around. He ate a little too much in the morning."
Lu Li didn't seem to believe what she said, but he still had a child in his arms. He had to keep his composure in front of the child. He could only warn Pei Xin. "Get back inside. You both should take a shower and change your clothes. I'll take you out later."
Pei Xin didn't know where Lu Li was taking her, but she was sure that it was going to be a bad palace.
"Today is Ling Xue's birthday. Consider it as a blessing that she still chose to invite you. You shouldn't refuse an invite even if you can't drink. Pei Xin, you better not have something up your sleeve! I'll be going to your room to pick you up later. If you aren't ready by then, you'll know the consequences you'll have to face." With that, Lu Li carried Feng Che and walked around Pei Xin, heading into the villa.
