Mu Qiannian could not help but feel curious as well. She said to the other end of the phone, “Wait for me at the hospital. I’ll go over now.”
She hung up the phone, got up, and rushed to the hospital.
When she pushed open the door, Pei He was lying on the bed. He saw Mu Qiannian enter the room and sit unceremoniously by the bed and was ready to listen attentively.
Pei He’s gaze landed on the people outside the room. Mu Qiannian understood what he meant and rolled her eyes at him. “How troublesome.”
Mu Qiannian waved her hand and the two of them were the only ones left in the room.
Only then did Pei He let down his guard.. His expression was unusually serious and he no longer had his usual playful smile. “I would like to ask you about your past. You are the adopted daughter of the Mu family. Do you know where you were adopted by them? How much do you remember about the memories before you were adopted?”
Mu Qiannian stared at Pei He when she heard this. After some hesitation, she slowly recalled the memories of her previous life.
“I was taken away by the Mu family in the orphanage. I have been allergic to catkins ever since I was young. When I encounter catkins, I can’t help but sneeze. Then, when I dream, I will always dream of a house. That house is very familiar.”
Pei He suddenly thought of something. He picked up his phone from the bed and showed a picture of a house to Mu Qiannian.
“Take a look. Is It this one?”
Mu Qiannian bent down slightly and scanned it carefully. Suddenly, she did not have a concrete impression of the house in her dream.
Mu Qiannian shook her head uncertainly. “I can only see it in my dream. In reality, I can’t remember what it looks like, so I can’t tell you.”
Her gaze swept across the picture on Pei He’s phone again. Mu Qiannian frowned and asked, “Is this the Su family’s mansion?”
Pei He nodded solemnly.
Pei He saw Mu Qiannian’s gaze suddenly turn cold, and the anger in her heart grew even more.
Mu Qiannian suddenly kicked Pei He’s hospital bed, scaring the already injured Pei He out of his wits.
“F*ck, what are you doing?!”
Mu Qiannian rolled her eyes. “So the majority of the information you’ve investigated points to me being their lost daughter?”
Pei He’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
This made Mu Qiannian even more certain of his guess.
Since Pei He had already chosen Mu Wanwan to be the scapegoat, he must have a lot of evidence to prove it.
However, why did he bring Mu Wanwan to meet her family yesterday and call Mu Qiannian here today to ask about her past?
If Mu Qiannain was the missing daughter of the Su family, then what happened in her previous life?
Mu Qiannain did not know her identity and did not deliberately hide the fact that she was adopted.
However, why did the Su family not find her when they were looking for the missing Young Miss Su?
Could it be that someone was deliberately obstructing them in the dark? The purpose was to prevent the Su family from finding the real Young Miss Su?
Who could that person be?
“However, during the investigation, it’s also possible that it is Mu Wanwan as there was a clue that pointed to her,” Pei He said.
Mu Qiannian’s eyes narrowed. “What Clue?”
Pei He hesitated. He was stared at by Mu Qiannian’s warning gaze and immediately said, “The Mu family, age, gender, and that orphanage.”
Orphanage?
Mu Qiannian did not know that Mu Wanwan was in the same orphanage as her in her previous life.
She could let Pei He off with this one, but as for the remaining clues…
Mu Qiannian snapped back to her senses and her unfriendly gaze landed on Pei He.
Pei He felt guilty under the gaze and smiled awkwardly. He did not know how to speak.
Mu Qiannian was angry, but what was done was done.
Pei He was the one who personally sent Mu Wanwan to the Su family yesterday.
“So, what are you going to do? Aren’t you being too unruly to do something like this?”
Pei He felt so guilty that he did not dare to Look Mu Qiannian in the eye. “Actually, you don’t have to worry. I confessed to President Su yesterday that Mu Wanwan might not be the real Young Miss Su. In fact, you might still have a chance.”
Mu Qiannian looked at him. “What do you mean?”
Pei He said, “Now that Mu Wanwan knows that she might not be the real Young Miss Su, she’ll definitely be more vigilant and calculative. Two days later, Madam Su will hold a family recognition banquet for Mu Wanwan. Perhaps these two days will be the opportunity for us.”
Mu Qiannian furrowed her brows and did not reply. Her mind was filled with thoughts.
Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted her thoughts. “Hello? Go ahead.”
Who knew what was said on the other end, but Mu Qiannian stood up and left without even looking at Pei He.
When the door closed, Mu Qiannian’s oppressive voice was heard. “You have to take full responsibility for this matter. Solve it for me. Otherwise, I might beat you up personally and aggravate your injuries for free.”
Pei He sat on the bed, feeling a headache.
In the end, he was still too impulsive. If he was not too worried that someone would snatch the credit from the Su family and had taken his time, he would not have caused so much trouble, right?
In the evening, Mu Qiannian, who had been busy all day, returned to the hotel. She searched the entire room but could not find Pei Mingchen.
“Did he go out?”
Mu Qiannian mumbled to herself as she searched every corner. After making sure that he was not there, she made a call.
“You finally remembered me.” Pei Mingchen sounded as aggrieved as ever.
Mu Qiannian could not help but feel guilty. “I’m sorry. I was very busy yesterday and today. I couldn’t accompany you at all. Where are you now? Do you want me to cook for you and wait for you to come back?”
“I can’t make it back now, but I’m going back to sleep Tonight, and I have a surprise for you,” Pei Mingchen said.
Surprise?
Mu Qiannian could not help but feel a little expectant when she heard this. She knew that it was a surprise, but she could not help but ask at the first moment.
“What surprise?”
Pei Mingchen’s low laughter came from the other side. “Since I said it was a surprise, how can you ask? If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore.”
That made sense.
Mu Qiannian could not help but nod in agreement. She smiled and said, “Alright then, remember to come back earlier tonight. I can’t wait to know what kind of surprise you’ve prepared for me.”
The other end nodded heavily. “Then I’ll hang up first. Remember to wait for me tonight. Don’t go to sleep first.”
Mu Qiannian nodded sweetly. After hanging up the phone, she felt a wave of sleepiness sweep over her.
She had been busy with the Su family’s matters for the past two days and had not rested at all. In fact, she was already too hungry and exhausted.
However, when she thought of Pei Mingchen’s surprise at night, she resisted the urge to return to her room to sleep.
She lay on the sofa and hugged a pillow in her arms while closing her eyes and resting.
On the other side, Pei Mingchen, who had hung up the phone, had a change of expression in his gentle eyes. His heavy gaze landed on the Pei family mansion outside the car.
He pushed open the car door and got out of the car, coincidentally bumping into Pei He’s car.
With the help of the chauffeur, Pei He sat in his wheelchair. When Pei He saw Pei Mingchen standing at the entrance of the Pei family mansion, his gaze tensed up.
“Why are you here?!”
Pei Mingchen glared at him coldly. Pei He’s imposing manner suddenly suffered a blow. He shrunk his neck and asked, “Why are you here?”
After the lesson he had learned last time, how could Pei He still dare to argue with Pei Mingchen?
