Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Pei Xin beg him in a low voice, Sun Jin felt a little uncomfortable. Although the two of them had not spoken much, he knew that Pei Xin would never be like this in the past.
“What do you have to beg me for? 1 heard that you just got out of prison.” Sun Jin rolled his eyes. “Besides, I’m just a private detective. I don’t work at the Sun Corporation. I can’t help you. I heard that you’re looking for the heirs of some big families to work with. I can’t do as you wish.”
Sun Jin wanted to provoke her. He did not believe that the proud Pei Xin would tolerate it forever.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.. He did not know what Pei Xin had experienced in prison all these years. Even if he punched her a few times, she would be able to endure it, let alone face such a verbal provocation.
“Sun Jin, I know that our relationship in the past was ordinary, but I really have something to ask of you.”
Pei Xin tried her best to lower her status. Sun Jin was the youngest son of the Sun family. He was born into wealth and was naughty when he was in school.
However, it was precisely because of this that he became a private detective.
There were some things that the detectives didn’t dare to investigate, but he dared to do it. In addition, he had the Sun family backing him up, so others wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
This was also the reason why Pei Xin came to find him. Back then, those who could enter that kind of high-end hotel were either rich or noble people. Only Sun Jin had the guts to investigate this matter in depth.
“My son has cancer and needs a tube of blood from his biological father to save his life.” Pei Xin looked at Sun Jin pleadingly.
Sun Jin seemed to be burned by her gaze. He quickly avoided her eyes but he still said sarcastically, “I heard that you ruined many lives. In the end, Lu Li hated you so much that he broke off the engagement with you. How can you not know who the father is?”
Thinking of his own mother, Sun Jin felt annoyed. “You went out to fool around, and now you’re facing the consequences. I hate people like you. Get out of my office and never come back!”
Sun Jin was an illegitimate child, to begin with, and his mother had also died of illness early on. Although he had no worries about food and clothing in the Sun family, he had always been looked down upon.
Although his father had a one-night stand back then, no one had asked him if he wanted to be an illegitimate child. No one cared if he was born. He hated women like Pei Xin.
Pei Xin had long thought that Sun Jin would not help her so easily. She said in a low voice, “I was drugged back then. I didn’t know anything at that time. I know you all hate me, but my son is innocent. I want him to live, but the doctor told me that he needs a tube of his biological father’s blood to save his life. Please… I beg you.”
She was about to kneel. She had knelt countless times in prison. For her son, she could give up her dignity to save his life.
However, Sun Jin quickly supported her. “What are you doing?! If others see this, they will think that I am bullying you!”
Originally, he wanted to humiliate Pei Xin. He did not expect the story to be deeper than it seemed!
Although Sun Jin did not understand Pei Xin, in his opinion, Pei Xin had always been like a proud peacock with a big ego.
Now that he saw her kneel for her son, Sun Jin was moved.
He then remembered that his mother had also knelt down before she died and sent him to the Sun family. He clenched his fists, knowing that he could not ignore this matter any longer, and took it as a sign to help her.
“Alright, sit down and tell me what happened.” Sun Jin took out his notebook. “You’d better give me all the details. How were you before you were drugged? Did he leave when you were awake? Did you notice anything wrong?”
“Thank you, thank you!” Hearing that he was willing to help, Pei Xin hurriedly thanked him and wanted to bow again.
Sun Jin quickly waved his hand. “Pei Xin, when did you become like this? Hurry up, don’t waste my time. And I’m not doing this for your sake. I’m doing this for the sake of the child. You said it yourself, the child is innocent. I can’t just watch him die. If you thank me again, I’ll stop helping you.”
Pei Xin quickly shut her mouth. Although she felt embarrassed facing Sun Jin, it was relatively easier for her to talk about what happened back then compared to Lu Huai.
With that, she started her story.
“Ling Xue drugged you?” It wasn’t that Sun Jin didn’t believe it. He didn’t have any feelings for Ling Xue either. It was just that he didn’t expect a young lady who had just returned from a wealthy family to do such a despicable thing.
Pei Xin did not think that there was anything wrong with him asking this. After all, in everyone’s eyes, this matter was her fault. She had indeed occupied Ling Xue’s life.
“Yes, I wasn’t sure at first, but now that I think about it, the only beneficiary is her.” Pei Xin’s tone did not waver. “I fainted after drinking the thing she gave me. When I woke up, she was the first to arrive with Lu Li..”
