Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 34 Blank Check
The ward is very empty, with fine-grained wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and large areas of hazy sky.

Opposite Ye Xingfei's hospital bed, there was a set of modular sofas, made of expensive leather, with a man sitting on it.He was wearing a woolen coat casually by his hand, wearing a fitted black shirt and a silver-gray vest, quietly looking out the window, smoking a cigarette.

Xia Ling's footsteps stopped, and for a few seconds, her mind went blank.

He turned his face and looked at her calmly, aloof, like an emperor.

She took a few steps back, turned around suddenly, and pulled the door of the ward with her hand.The thick wooden door seemed to have taken root in the ground, no matter how she pushed or pulled it, it would not move.She bumped it hard a few times with her body, and then heard Pei Ziheng's voice——

"Don't waste your energy, as soon as you come in, the door will be locked from the outside."

Xia Ling turned around in panic, facing his dark eyes, against the skylight, unable to see his expression clearly.She involuntarily shrunk her body back, pressing her back tightly against the smooth wooden door, almost wanting to melt herself into the door.

"You're afraid of me." He looked at her and asked slowly, "Why?"

She was stiff and unable to speak.

He slowly extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray: "Chu Chen sometimes acts a little rough, if I scare you, I'm sorry. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I am..."

"Pei Ziheng," Xia Ling tried hard to conceal the trembling in her voice, "Ask your people to open the door and let me out."

"So you know who I am." He said, smiling slightly, very gentle, "Very few people dare to speak to me in such a tone, I appreciate your courage."

In fact, she didn't have the guts at all, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand, and she wished she could rush out the door immediately.

Hiding her hand behind her back, she secretly tried to pull the doorknob, but no matter how hard she tried, the door remained as solid as a mountain.Xia Ling was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, she was confused, and she was worried why the Ye family's parents hadn't come yet. If they could show up right away, it would be great to open the door for her...

Pei Ziheng seemed to see through her mind: "Give up, it's useless to count on your parents - I asked Chu Chen to contact them, that's why they brought you here today."

She froze, her heart sank slowly.

It turned out that they teamed up to deceive her, and this trip was not to see Feifei at all.

In this life, she has been careful again and again, consciously alienating everyone around her, but in the end she couldn't guard against it, and was completely betrayed by the people around her.

"What benefits did you... give them?" She asked with difficulty.

"Just a little money is enough to make them feel grateful." Pei Ziheng still smiled, "Rather than caring about others, let's talk about our affairs. You can sit here, I'm not used to talking with my head up."

He pointed to the couch across from him.

Xia Ling stood still and didn't dare to move, she just said: "There is nothing to talk about between us."

He was calm and unflappable: "My patience is very limited, Ye Xingling. Are you coming here by yourself, or should I help you?"

Xia Ling sensed the hidden danger from his voice. The more than ten years of getting along with him made her deeply understand that the softer the voice and the gentler the posture of this man in front of him, the more terrifying his methods of dealing with him.

At this moment, the sense of fear sleeping in the depths of her soul overflowed boundlessly, as if under a spell, she moved her steps instinctively, and before she realized it, she had already walked in front of him and obediently sat in the designated position.

He looked at her with satisfaction: "That's good."

She woke up and was terrified by what had just happened - what kind of situation is this, why after going through life and death, she still obediently obeyed as long as he said a word? !
Looking at him in a panic, across a glass tea table, his face was clearer than that in the wind and snow that night, handsome and majestic, like a god... just like the eternal father, mentor, and lover deep in her memory.

With a tingling pain in her heart, she looked away with difficulty.

Pei Ziheng was also looking at her, even if she turned her head sideways, she could still feel the scorching gaze, as if she was peeling off her clothes inch by inch, evaluating her body, and roasting her soul.

In front of him, she never seemed to be naked.

Xia Ling frowned tightly, and hid on the sofa in embarrassment.

He smiled and said condescendingly: "So far, you have satisfied me." Then, he took out something and threw it on the glass tea table, "Maybe Chu Chen didn't make it clear to you, follow me, what you can get is better than that." You can imagine a lot more."

She looked down, and there was a blank check on the table.

"As long as you nod your head, you can fill in the numbers here."

She just felt a little dazed, as if some history was repeating itself—that year, the 12-year-old Xiao Xialing followed Pei Ziheng home to pay for her sister's medical treatment; he?
It's a pity that she is no longer the little Xia Ling she was back then, and she will never make that mistake again.

Her voice was dry: "I don't need this kind of thing."

Pei Ziheng spoke to her patiently: "What do you need? Tell me."

But she bit her lip and said in her heart, Pei Ziheng, you can't afford it.

So, choose silence.

He lit another cigarette: "It seems that what Chu Chen said is right, you are still an ignorant child." Slowly exhaled white smoke rings, his eyes were far away, "But you have to know, occasionally Playing your temper is harmless, if you are too willful, you will always be taught a lesson..."

His voice gradually lowered, as if he was speaking to her, but also as if he was talking to himself.

Xia Ling's eyes felt a little uncomfortable, probably from being smoked, and they closed slightly.Scenes from the past emerged in front of my eyes, those terrible memories during the time I was imprisoned...

Unable to shudder, she plucked up the courage to speak: "Pei...Dong," she begged in a low voice, "I'm just an insignificant person, not worth your so much thought, let me go, okay? There are so many people waiting to be picked by you..."

"It's not up to you to put the beak on whoever I choose, Ye Xingling." He interrupted her, his eyes became clear again, "All you need to do is to accept this check, or..."

He looked at her coldly: "Maybe you would like to appreciate how your sister's infusion tube was pulled out."

In the past, everyone in the world said that he was cruel and cruel, but she didn't think so, because he was so kind to her at that time, and he always showed his gentle side.But now, when she was no longer the Xia Ling who was held in the palm of the hand, and stood in front of him with the attitude of a small person, it was only when she deeply felt the indifference of the absolute power that I am alone.

In his eyes, crushing the Ye family sisters to death is probably like crushing an ant.

But Xia Ling couldn't back down, and the result of backing down could only be death, either Ye Xingfei's death, or her death—rather than returning to the days of being raised and manipulated by others in her previous life, she would rather die again.
