Chapter 48
Pei Xi was not stupid. She understood what he meant and naturally stopped continuing the topic.

His tone also softened a lot: "Yiyi is young and acts impulsively. I will ask Yiyi to come and apologize. If the commotion is too big, the impact will be bad. I will ask Lin Shu to send her back in two days and I will not give her a chance to mess around again. "

Li Jinyan nodded and had no objection.

The Su family and the Li family have always been on good terms, so there is really no need to make a big fuss.

What's more, their two families have plans to get married, and the trouble will be too ugly, which will make it difficult for the other two families to handle it.

Pei Xi hesitated for a while and then said: "Shu Shu... let her resign. This job is not suitable for her."

Li Jinyan felt that Pei Xi had something to say, and he probably noticed it.

……

Huo Yunling's schedule was very full, and by the time she heard that Zhou Shu had been kidnapped and taken to the hospital, it was already the next night.

She hurried to the hospital. In the ward, Zhou Shu was sitting on the bed intact, petting the cat in a good mood.

Afraid that she would be bored by herself, Pei Xi specially sent Xiao Yueyue over.

"Shu Shu, are you okay? Who is so brave and dares to have such a bad idea for you?"

Zhou Shu was also confused: "I don't know."

"Has everyone been caught?"

"All caught."

While the two were talking, Su Baiyi stood at the door with a confused look on his face.

It took a long time before she had the courage to enter, but she didn't dare to look at Zhou Shu.

Knowing that he had done something wrong, he buried his head very low and was as confused as a mosquito: "Zhou Shu! I'm sorry!"

"What did you say?" Zhou Shu was confused. Her voice was too soft, and Zhou Shu really didn't know what she was talking about.

Su Baiyi became a little anxious and raised her voice: "I'm sorry! I didn't know they would kidnap you. I didn't want to kill you. I'm really sorry!"

"You don't want to be friends with me, right? I'm going back soon. If...if you still miss me, you can contact me at any time."

Su Baiyi's face was full of guilt. She regretted it. If she had known about it in advance, she would never have let anyone do it.

Zhou Shu blinked and finally realized what Su Baiyi was talking about.

So, it was Su Baiyi who kidnapped her and almost killed her?
Are those people talking about Su Baiyi?
"Zhou Shu, I'm very happy to be friends with you. I probably won't leave Nancheng. If you are still willing to be friends with me and forgive me..."

Su Baiyi paused, his eyes turning red.

"I promise you, I will never hurt you again, otherwise...otherwise I will die badly!"

Su Baiyi raised three fingers, with sincere eyes, as if saying goodbye, and swore in his mouth.

Zhou Shu listened quietly with a calm expression: "Does my little uncle also know?"

Su Baiyi was stunned for a moment: "I know, he asked me to apologize to Li Shichuan."

Speaking of Li Shichuan, Su Baiyi couldn't help but think of what happened before.

After such a big commotion this time, she just wanted to know who Li Shichuan liked.

"Last time you said you had someone in your heart, was it Zhou Shu? You were the first to find her when she disappeared, and you risked your life to help her block the knife. You two grew up together. In fact, you have always had a crush on her, right?"

As for Li Shichuan’s answer…

Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment and curled his lips sarcastically. It was obvious that Pei Xi had no intention of dealing with Su Baiyi and only asked her to apologize.

Forget about others, between himself and Su Baiyi, he actually chose Su Baiyi.

Doesn't he know that he almost lost his life?Li Shichuan also almost died, but was finally rescued.

Is it because of her relationship with his wife?

After apologizing, Su Baiyi left. "Shu Shu, you just don't care about her anymore? She did such a thing..." Huo Yunling hesitated, feeling very angry.

Su Baiyi was already unhappy, but now he was even more hostile.In other words, Huo Yunling is hostile to everyone who hurts Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu looked calm as he recalled some details of the kidnapping that day: "Lingling, I always feel that the person who wanted to kill me was actually that person."

Huo Yunling's expression changed: "Do you think... someone is taking advantage of Su Baiyi?"

……

Zhou Shu has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, but she did not visit Li Shichuan. When she faced him, she felt very complicated.

I am definitely grateful this time, but it is difficult to offset the resentment in my heart.

Su Baiyi followed Lin Shu back, and there would probably be very few opportunities to see him again in the future.

Knowing that Zhou Shu was discharged from the hospital, Pei Xi deliberately put down her work and personally took her home.

After getting in the car, Pei Xi took the lead and said, "Shu Shu, I will help you quit your assistant job. I have already told Li Jinyan."

Zhou Shu was stunned for a long time before he realized what Pei Xi was talking about.

He was instantly emotional, and his words were full of unhappiness and resentment: "Little uncle, what do you mean? I am no longer a child, can't I even decide my own work? Why do you interfere?!"

If she loses this job, she will have fewer opportunities to meet Li Jinyan.

Pei Xi's face was serious, and there was a sense of oppression between his brows and eyes.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Shu said why he should interfere, so he said with a strong attitude: "Zhou Shu, I am your uncle, why can't I interfere?"

Not only did he interfere, he also helped her decide.

In Pei Xi's view, Zhou Shu is more like a daughter, and they are more like father and daughter to a certain extent.

Zhou Shu was silent, her eyes were red, her face was full of grievance and stubbornness.

Seeing that Pei Xi was not going to pay attention to her, Zhou Shu looked at Pei Wei for help and begged coquettishly.

"Auntie, please help me beg my uncle, I want to continue doing this job."

"Shu Shu, you should be obedient." Pei Wei shrugged, looking helpless.

Zhou Shu gave up. She couldn't disobey Pei Xi's decision, so she could only ask coldly: "Uncle, what kind of job do you want me to do in the future?"

"We'll wait until you feel better, don't worry."

The Pei family prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Zhou Shu from the hospital. Pei Wei also prepared tonic for Zhou Shu in advance.

She personally brought the medicine bowl over and said warmly: "Shu Shu, drink the medicine. My aunt has specially prepared a gift for you."

Pei Wei's smile was gentle and kind, but this time Zhou Shu felt disgusted.

False woman!
Seeing her pretending, Zhou Shu sat motionless and refused to drink.

Pei Xi reprimanded in a low voice: "Shu Shu, this is a recipe specially brought by your aunt. I know you are in a bad mood, so don't lose your temper."

Old Mrs. Pei said in a strange tone: "In order to save your precious little life, you spent a lot of money, drink it quickly!"

Zhou Shu just stared at Pei Xi with unclear meaning, suddenly raised his lips in a mocking manner, and finished the drink in one gulp.

He only knew that he was willful and had a bad temper, but why should he blame himself?
Does he know what kind of dire straits he is living in?

Whenever he comes back from a business trip, he always blames himself for not doing well here or there.

The mother and daughter of the Pei family are very good at acting.

Watching Zhou Shu drink the decoction in one gulp, Pei Wei's eyes flashed with jealousy and disgust.
