C90 What a Pity
C90 What a Pity
"No need..." Before Chu Jiaxuan could finish her sentence, Pei's mother had already walked quite a distance away.
"What do you mean no need? The most important thing between husband and wife is to get along well. I will go and tell Mrs Chen to make a table for Nanjue's favorite meal. Just wait for him to come back."
Chu Jiaxuan was silent.
After Pei's mother left, Chu Jiaxuan thought about it. She thought about it and took the opportunity to explain to him what would happen in the future. After she thought it through, she waited for Pei Nanjue to come back in peace.
Although Pei Nanjue had treated her much better these days, the number of times he went home was getting lesser and lesser.
After Mrs Chen finished cooking, she could not help but look at the time and waited nervously.
The large villa was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, the sound of parking outside the house sounded. Then, she heard the butler say something and then the sound of the door being pushed open.
"You... you're back."
For a moment, she didn't know how to address him.
"I'm back." Pei Nanjue glanced at her. He hadn't looked at her seriously for a long time. At this moment, she was standing quietly. She didn't put on any makeup, but she was very attractive. He strode past her.
"What's wrong? What are you going to say to me today?" Pei Nanjue handed the clothes to the servant behind him. He was about to pull the chair away from the table and sit down when his phone rang.
His footsteps paused. It was an unknown number. He hesitated for a second and picked up the phone.
Chu Jiaxuan was silent.
"What?" Pei Nanjue opened his eyes wide and hung up the phone. He grabbed the coat from the servant's hand and quickly put it on. Then he walked past her and left the room. Chu Jiaxuan was the only one left standing in the room.
She watched him leave in a daze. She looked at the table full of food with a lonely expression.
"What a pity, it was wasted again..."
"Chu Jiaxuan, Chu Jiaxuan, you are really a fool. You always ask for trouble.
She slumped onto the sofa, her fingers inserted into her hair. "Why are you still not going to change? What hope do you have for him?"
Pei Nanjue did not return for another night.
The next day, Pei's mother came to see Chu Jiaxuan again. "Mrs Chen told me that Nanjue is really a child. Don't worry. When he comes, I will definitely talk to him properly. I will leave you at home and not go home for the rest of the day. If this gets out, what would it be like?"
"I am fine. Maybe he is too busy with work." Chu Jiaxuan forced the corner of her mouth to form an extremely bitter smile.
No matter how good Pei's mother was to her now, she could not be happy.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Jiaxuan's mood calmed down. Only then did she think that she had never seen Pei Nanjue's expression yesterday.
She had only seen calm and indifferent anger on him, but just now, she had seen panic and shock.
She had a strong feeling that the following days would not be as peaceful as during this period of time...
She did not know why.
Chu Jiaxuan had just gotten off work that day when she received a call.
"Hello, this is the hospital in the city center. May I ask if you are Wang Yuncai's family?"
"Yes, doctor, hello. I am her daughter. How is my mother?"
"Your mother can be discharged today. Ask the family to come and take the patient home as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jiaxuan let out a breath. During this period of time, she had been busy visiting her mother. Now that she heard that her mother could be discharged, she was extremely happy. She felt a lot more relaxed.
