Chapter 25: Another Acquaintance

When Pei Xin woke up, Ling Jin had already left the house. There were a few changes to the layout of the room and there was even a steaming meal on the table.

Pei Xin was touched. It turned out that there was still someone who would stay by her side.

Ling Jin was forced to drop out of school and joined the army when he was younger. After he retired, he was assigned a decent job. However, because of the Pei family and the Lu family, he could no longer find a decent job.

In the past few years, he had worked as a waiter, a dishwasher, a driver, and a delivery person. However, because he had to take care of Ling Lin, he could never stay at one job for too long. It was only when Ling Lin grew up and learned to be independent that he settled down in a construction team. He was honest, hardworking, and strong, so his boss had always treated him well.

For the past five years, he had given all the best things to Ling Lin and lived frugally, but he never once regretted it.

Compared to the sister he had spent 21 years with, he liked Pei Xin more and could resonate with her more.

That was because Pei Xin knew how to be grateful and cherish family ties.

Pei Xin woke Ling Lin up, washed up, and ate.

Pei Xin decided to go looking for a job today. She couldn't leave the family's financial burden to Ling Jin alone. She already owed him enough.

Moreover, she had to find Ling Lin's father to take care of Ling Lin once she was gone. Only then will she be able to go into the operating room with peace of mind and end her pathetic and miserable life.

"Ling Lin, I have things to attend to today. You stay at home and be a good kid, alright?"

"I'll go with you!" His little radish head bobbed. He who had just received his mother's love was unwilling to leave her side, sticking to her like glue.

"It's too far for you to come with. Don't worry. I'll be back soon. Also, you have to stay at home to welcome your uncle back from work, remember? When you see him, please tell him I went out to settle some matters."

The little guy nodded unwillingly. Then, Pei Xin tried to coax him on the importance of staying at home. After confirming that he would not run out and follow her, she left the house.

She wanted to investigate the hotel that caused her misery.

She didn't have any other clues. She only remembered the hotel's name.

For the next few days, Pei Xin squatted outside Venus Hotel. There were many rich businessmen that came and went. She tried her best to recognize any of their features, but she didn't know what kind of person she was looking for.

"Pei Xin?"

Suddenly, someone called her name. Pei Xin alarmingly turned her head to the sound.

A man was standing not too far away from her. He was wearing a fitting suit that showed his wide shoulders and narrow waist. His eyes were as deep as the ocean.

"It really is you!" The man walked up and excitedly put his hands on Pei Xin's shoulders. His intimate actions made Pei Xin extremely uncomfortable and she hurriedly broke free.

"Long time no see." Pei Xin nodded as a form of greeting and then prepared to leave. She did not want to have anything to do with the person in front of her.

This person was Sun Yue — the eldest son of Sun Corporation, Lu Nan's husband, and Sun Che's father.

He was also Pei Xin's former pursuer.

Now that Lu Li was out of her hair, it gave her time to live her days peacefully. Pei Xin didn't want to provoke the Lu Family again and remind them to look for her.

However, Sun Yue had no intention of letting her go. With a stride of his long legs, he immediately blocked her path.

"We haven't seen each other for years! Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"I... I still have something to do!" Pei Xin frowned, shrugging off his advances.

Sun Yue raised his head and looked at the hotel's signboard. A smile of understanding appeared on his face. He had heard the rumors about Pei Xin. "You've just been released from prison and you're already taking on jobs huh?"

Pei Xin's face was pale. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her in shock. Sun Yue used to be warm and gentle and was the man of many womans' dreams. It was disgusting to hear such dirty intentions coming out of his mouth.

"How much did the person who asked you out today pay you? How about this? If I pay you double the amount, you can give me a good time instead."

As Sun Yue spoke, he grabbed Pei Xin's hair and motioned a perverted sign with his mouth. Then, he put his hand on his crotch and did the same. She was a little thinner, but she was still good-looking. Most importantly, this was the woman he had been longing for since he was in university.

If he had known that she was this kind of person back then, he would not have put in so much effort to disguise himself as a kind person and ended up with nothing.

"You disgust me!"

Hearing Pei Xin's words, Sun Yue laughed out loud. "There's no need to pretend in front of me. Everyone knows about the things you've done. You must be short of money now that you've just been released from prison. Why don't I pay you double for the job, don't blow this chance! We can have some fun!"

Pei Xin was so angry that her entire body shook. She could not imagine that this was something a husband and father would say, but she did not want to start a fight with this man. She did not have the power or the strength. "Please have some self-respect. Even if not for yourself, for your wife and child!"

"Yeah, so what? It won't affect us. It's just a one-night stand, not a marriage proposal! Besides, I've had enough of Lu Nan. It's important as a man to taste all the finest delicacies in life!"

With that last jab, Pei Xin couldn't take it anymore and slapped Sun Yue in the face. "Get lost!"
