Su Peizhen's face was cold as she looked at the man lying on the bed in her apartment.
The screen of the phone in her palm was lit up, and she could call the police with just a press of her fingertips.
However, her fingertips didn't move for a long time. She just glanced at the man again. Her jaw was still hurting, and the place where she had hit seemed to be bruised.
She rubbed her jaw and looked at her body again. The fact that she was stained with the man's blood made her very unhappy.
She put away her phone, stood up, and walked to the side of the bed.
The man was lying flat on the bed, covered in blood. Not only on his body, but also on his face. His facial features were stained with blood, and she couldn't see his face clearly.
She only remembered that when the car lights flashed just now, the man's pair of bright almond-shaped eyes. He looked very monstrous.
Su Peizhen wouldn't do something like serving people. Regardless of whether it was Christmas or not, she called her usual hourly helper and asked her to come over.
This apartment was very close to Xiang Caiping's department store. If she sometimes went to work late, she would come here to sleep.
In fact, she had lived here for a long time in the past few months, but it was really because of Xiang Caiping's guilty eyes and pitiful attitude that made her feel very uncomfortable in that house.
She might as well avoid it as possible. She knew in her heart that her attitude was letting Xiang Caiping down, but there were some things that she couldn't control.
On this point, she did miss Li Qianxue a little. With Li Qianxue's personality, no matter what her children did, her pride and principles would not let her sympathize with anyone.
The hourly helper, Xiao Zhao, lived very close to this place and arrived very quickly. When she arrived, Su Peizhen had just taken a shower. Her long hair was slightly wet, and she was wearing a bathrobe.
Xiao Zhao had worked as a helper in many families, but there weren't many who looked as beautiful as Su Peizhen.
As a woman, she felt that the scene in front of her was a little too much. Su Peizhen didn't seem to notice Xiao Zhao's gaze. She looked in the direction of the bed.
"Clean him up and help me change the sheets on the bed."
Xiao Zhao was from another place. She came from the countryside, and she was very honest. Without asking much, she directly started to change the clothes of the man on the bed.
The blood on the man's body looked terrifying, and Xiao Zhao suppressed her fear and cleaned him up.
However —
"Miss Su, this person is injured. It seems to be very serious." As Xiao Zhao spoke, he added, "He's still bleeding."
Su Peizhen, who had been reading some documents, stood up when she heard Su Qingsang's words.
Most of the bloodstains on the man on the bed had been cleaned up, so it was obvious that there was a cut on his chest.
She knew that the man was injured, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
If he was not sent to the hospital, he might really die.
"Miss Su?" Xiao Zhao's voice brought her back to reality. "There's a medicine box outside. You can do whatever you want."
"Miss Su." Xiao Zhao's eyes widened in horror. "This person is so badly injured. Do we really not need to send him to the hospital?"
"No need." Su Peizhen's voice was very cold. "I think he's very lucky. He won't die."
"…" Xiao Zhao helplessly went to get the medicine box. He wanted to ask this man what kind of relationship he had with Su Peizhen. But seeing Su Peizhen's cold attitude, she didn't dare to ask.
As a housekeeper, Little Zhao had learned how to treat and bandage simple wounds.
He brought the medical kit and helped the man treat his wounds. Finally, he wiped all the blood on the man's body.
Except for his pants, he took off everything else. Fortunately, he discovered that the only injury was the stab wound on his chest.
She didn't know how it happened. The knife was not very deep, but why was there so much blood on the man's body?
After she was finally done, Xiao Zhao finally had time to look at the man's face.
"Hey, this gentleman is so handsome."
Su Peizhen was reading the documents and didn't seem to hear her. Xiao Zhao felt that she had said something wrong. She planned to leave after cleaning up.
"I will pay you double your salary this month. Don't tell my mother about what happened today."
When she walked to the door, she heard Su Peizhen's voice. She was still reading the documents, as if she didn't care about what was happening around her.
Xiao Zhao responded and left. After she left, Su Peizhen put the documents aside.
This hourly helper was hired by Xiang Caiping for her. When she lived here, Xiao Zhao would come over to help clean and cook. She didn't want her to talk nonsense in front of Xiang Caiping.
Very handsome?
Su Peizhen looked in the direction of the bed. The man's eyes were closed, and his face was a little pale because of the excessive blood loss. Although his eyes were closed, she could still remember the look on his face when he opened his eyes in the alley.
Handsome?
She could barely see it. After all, there was never a lack of handsome men around her.
This was a two-bedroom apartment. One was her master bedroom, and the other was the study.
There was a bed in the study, which was prepared for Xiang Caiping. She was afraid that she would come over occasionally. However, Xiang Caiping seemed to know that she was not used to her being too close, so she rarely came to the apartment.
Su Peizhen placed the man on the bed in the study. This was also the reason why she had to deal with the documents here.
Tomorrow was her birthday, and she didn't plan to enter the company. Because Xiang Caiping would definitely celebrate with her. Today, she would deal with the documents that she could.
Closing the documents, Su Peizhen felt inexplicably annoyed. She hadn't celebrated her birthday for two years. In her opinion, it was a joke.
Shaking off those bad feelings, Su Peizhen put away the documents and closed the notebook.
She got up and left the room. As for the man on the bed?
Heh. He was lucky to be alive. If he really died here, she wouldn't be afraid.
…
Ling Jing woke up to a faintly discernible aroma of food. The wound on his chest reminded him of what happened last night.
That group of people actually couldn't wait to make a move on him. When he got up, the pain in his chest made his expression change. He didn't expect that person to betray him.
It didn't feel good to be betrayed by someone he trusted. Ling Jing clenched his fists and waited for the pain to pass.
Using the time to relieve the pain, he opened his eyes and looked at his current environment. It wasn't a small room. It looked like a study.
He lowered his head. He wasn't wearing any clothes. His upper body was bare, and he could see that his wound had been treated.
The wound was bandaged in a slightly ugly way. He put his hand on his chest.
He closed his eyes, thinking that if he lay down for a while, the aroma of food would be more obvious.
He couldn't control his body's reaction. He realized that he was hungry.
He got up and couldn't find his clothes. He probably couldn't wear them anymore. Fortunately, the other party left him a pair of pants.
Just like that, he left the study and walked outside. In the kitchen, it was dyed with a layer of gold by the morning light. An extremely beautiful figure was inside, leisurely and at ease.
December 26th, Su Peizhen's birthday.
She was in the kitchen, making breakfast for herself. She wouldn't have done it before. After going to prison, she learned some simple cooking.
The easiest thing was to make sandwiches. She put the bread in the toaster and heated a glass of milk for herself in the microwave.
She used to like coffee, but after going to prison, she liked to drink milk. Simple, pure, and healthy.
The sandwiches weren't complicated, and she worked quickly. After she was done, she cut the sandwiches. She put them on a plate and took out the milk. The moment she turned around, she saw the man leaning against the kitchen door.
The man was only wearing a pair of black boxer shorts, but his leisurely attitude made it seem like he was wearing a suit to attend a dinner party.
Su Peizhen met the man's beautiful and narrow almond-shaped eyes. She expressionlessly walked past him with the milk and went straight to the dining table outside.
When she passed by Ling Jing, she didn't stop. She put the sandwiches and milk on the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Even though she was only wearing a bathrobe, her movements were still elegant.
She picked up the milk and took a sip. She looked up at the man in front of her. She tilted her head slightly.
"If you're done, get out. The door is over there. "
Ling Jing stared at her face for a while, then walked to the dining table and put his hand on the edge of the table.
"Did you save me yesterday?"
"No." Su Peizhen's expression didn't change. There was a circle of milk stains on the corner of her mouth. Ling Jing looked at the circle of marks and felt his throat tighten.
Withdrawing his gaze, his expression became a little relaxed for a moment.
"No?" Ling Jing lowered his head and looked at the bandage on his chest.
Su Peizhen raised her eyebrows, put down the milk, and wiped her lips with a tissue on the table.
"You insisted on getting into my car yesterday, and I didn't help you wrap your wound. So it's not like I saved you. "
Ling Jing remembered that this woman wanted to leave after kicking him a few times yesterday. At that time, he didn't know what was going on, but he used the last bit of his strength to follow the woman and force himself into her car.
"Beauty, let me borrow your car for a while."
His wound kept bleeding, and he should go to the hospital. However, he was too big a target, so he could only follow this woman. And he bet that this woman wouldn't call the police.
Later, it turned out that he was right.
All his strength was used up after entering the door. After all, he was seriously injured.
However —
"Even if you didn't save me, you took me in. Of course, I have to repay you."
As Ling Jing spoke, he sat down next to her and reached for the sandwich.
Someone patted the back of his hand. He turned around and met Su Peizhen's cold eyes. "Get out of here now, and that will be your repayment."
Ling Jing withdrew his hand and thought of the few kicks this woman had given him yesterday.
Tsk, this woman was not only cruel, but also bad-tempered.
"Don't make me say it again. Get out. "
When Ling Jing was about to speak, Su Peizhen's phone rang. Her phone was on the coffee table in the living room.
The ringtone made her expression change slightly, but she quickly got up to pick up the phone.
Who else would call her at this time other than Xiang Caiping?
"Peizhen, where are you?" Xiang Caiping sounded a little worried. "Why didn't you come back last night? It's your birthday today, so don't go to the company. I cooked noodles for you this morning, but you weren't there — "
Su Peizhen felt a great deal of pressure when she heard Huo Jinyao's sorrowful tone. She paused and tried to make her voice sound normal. "I went out with my friends yesterday. It was too late, so I stayed over at Rong Garden."
"It's okay, it's okay. You can stay wherever you like. But it's your birthday today. Can you come back for dinner? "
"I will come back." Su Peizhen felt a headache coming on. She really wanted to tell Xiang Caiping that she wasn't a porcelain doll and that she didn't need to talk to her so carefully.
However, Xiang Caiping's overly excited tone made her unable to say the rest of the words.
"Okay, okay. What else do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. I'll go buy vegetables now. Oh, I also prepared a birthday present for you. You — "
Xiang Caiping didn't hear Su Peizhen's reaction. "Then, will you come back for lunch?"
"Yes."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll wait for you. "Hearing that her daughter was willing to come back, Xiang Caiping suddenly became happy.
Her excitement made Su Peizhen feel a little helpless and a little sad. After hanging up the phone, she turned around and found that the man was sitting at the dining table. The breakfast she had prepared for herself had been finished by him.
Not only had he finished the sandwich on the plate, but he had also finished the bottle of milk that she had just drunk.
However, the man didn't seem to realize what he had done. He looked at Su Peizhen, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. That pair of narrow almond-shaped eyes looked even more enchanting than last night.
"The sandwich was good, but the portion was a little small. I'm not full yet. Beauty, be a good person to the end. Give me another one. "
Su Peizhen's fingers tightened around the phone. She met the faint provocation and interest in the man's eyes.
She put the phone aside, walked to the dining table, picked up the plate and the cup, and threw them directly into the trash can.
Her movements were quick and clean. After throwing them away, she ran to the kitchen to wash her hands. She had no intention of making another one.
Making breakfast also depended on her mood, even if it was a simple breakfast like a sandwich.
She was no longer in the mood. She took out a tissue and wiped her hands. She came out and glanced at the man.
"Either you get out now, or I'll call the police and ask them to kick you out. Choose one. "
Ling Jing touched his chin. When he met the coldness in Su Peizhen's eyes, he clicked his tongue.
"What if I don't choose either of them?"
Su Peizhen looked at the rascal look on the man's face. Suddenly, she took a few steps forward, raised her hand, and directly attacked the man's chest.
There was still a wound left from yesterday. Ling Jing wasn't prepared for this. The pain made his body curl up and he took a step back.
"You –"
K。 Yesterday, he knew that this woman was ruthless, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless.
Although Su Peizhen was wearing a bathrobe, her movements weren't slow at all. Seeing the man in pain, she didn't stop but gave him another punch.
Ling Jing, who didn't expect him to do it again, was in so much pain that he was sweating. Not only did he curl up his body, but he also fell to the ground and looked at her with a painful expression.
It was as if he couldn't believe that Su Peizhen could be so ruthless.
Su Peizhen withdrew her hand, and her eyes were cold. "I'll say it again. Get out."
After saying this, she turned around and returned to the room. Ten minutes later, she came out. She had already changed into a new set of clothes.
The red woolen coat made her look even colder. She picked up her phone on the coffee table and put it in her bag. She didn't even look at the man lying on the ground.
"If you don't leave, I don't mind letting your wound open again."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and closed with a bang.
After she left, Ling Jing propped himself up. However, looking at the blood oozing out of his chest. Her eyes were no longer pretending to be stupid.
She was really a ruthless woman. Holding the position of her heart, Ling Jing raised her wrist and pressed a few times on her watch.
Not long after, someone came over.
"Young Master." When the person saw the wound on Ling Jing's body, his eyes widened. "I looked for Young Master all night yesterday. Young Master, who hurt you? Should we go back to the house now? "
"No need." Ling Jing's wound was actually very painful. The wound had just been casually bandaged to stop the bleeding. "Help me deal with the wound. Then you can leave. "
"But —"
"No buts." Ling Jing half-closed his eyes. "After I deal with it, I won't go back to the house for the time being. You go back first. "
"Young Master?"
"Those people obviously want me to die. Pretend that I am still not here and continue to look for me. After a few days, those people will naturally be unable to hold back. I want to see how many rats there are in the house. "
"Yes." The person stopped talking and began to deal with Ling Jing's wound.
"Young Master, the wound is a little deep. I'm afraid it won't work without stitching. But there is no anesthesia here — "He had come in a hurry and was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he forgot to bring anesthesia.
"It's okay." Ling Jing gritted her teeth and endured the pain. "Just stitch it like this."
"Yes."
Ling Jing lay there with his eyes closed, enduring the pain of the stitching. His mind was thinking of the red figure that floated away.
A woman's heart was really the most vicious.
… …
Su Peizhen went directly back to the villa where she lived with Xiang Caiping. This villa was really small according to the scale of the Su Family in the past.
However, there were only the two of them now, so it was suitable.
When she entered the door, Xiang Caiping's eyes lit up when she saw her. "I was thinking of going to buy vegetables and you came back. Have you had breakfast? "
"No."
"Then, I'll go make it for you." Xiang Caiping went in the direction of the kitchen. Su Peizhen's lips moved. "Didn't you say that you cooked noodles for me this morning? I'll just eat noodles. "
"It's not tasty after a long time. I'll make you another portion."
Su Peizhen couldn't stop Xiang Caiping and watched her go to the kitchen. She rubbed her forehead with a headache.
After a few months out of prison, she still hadn't found the right way to get along with Xiang Caiping.
The noodles were soon cooked. Xiang Caiping brought them out and put them on the table.
"I made the longevity noodles early in the morning according to the method of Lin City. Try it."
"Okay." Su Peizhen sat down at the table and met Xiang Caiping's expectant eyes. In the end, she couldn't bear it. "Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child, why are you thanking me?"
Xiang Caiping's face brightened up again because of her thanks.
The feeling of powerlessness came over her. Su Peizhen could only bury her head in the noodles.
The taste was good. It was indeed cooked according to the habits of the people of Lin City. She used to be very picky. She didn't eat a lot of things.
Li Qianxue used to dote on her the most. As long as she frowned, she would change the chef for her. She used to think that she would never be able to suffer in this life.
However, after nearly two years in prison, she realized that there was nothing that she couldn't eat.
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen sitting opposite her. Her heart was faint and slightly aching.
She still remembered Su Peizhen's appearance in the past. Looking at her now, as a mother, she could only feel sorry for her.
"Peizhen. It's your birthday today. Let's go out and play. Look, the weather is good. It's not snowing either. "
"Okay."
Su Peizhen put down the bowl and didn't object. "Mom, let Nanny Zhang do the cooking next time. You can just make a call and someone will come to your door to buy groceries. "
"It's okay. I can take this opportunity to walk around."
Xiang Caiping hadn't gone out with Su Peizhen since she came back. "Where are we going today? Shall we go hiking? I think the weather is good. Or do you have any places you want to go? "
Su Peizhen was very tired of her overly careful attitude. She couldn't say more. "Let's go hiking. We can eat outside when we come back. There's no need to cook. "
"Huh? Okay. "Xiang Caiping was a little disappointed. She wanted to do more for her daughter, but she realized that nothing she did seemed right.
Her expression gave Su Peizhen a headache.
"Mom, we are mother and daughter. We don't care about these things. It's good enough to eat outside. "
"Okay. Okay. "Xiang Caiping nodded. There was a trace of emotion in her eyes. She was about to say something when the nanny, Xiao Ye, came in with a package in her hand.
"Sister Su, this is your package."
"Mine?" Su Peizhen looked at the package and reached out to take it. She couldn't remember if she had ever bought it online.
She opened it and found that it was a jewelry box. Su Peizhen had a hunch and opened the box.
Inside was a set of pink diamond jewelry. There were two pink diamonds on the butterfly wings. They weren't very big, but the style was fresh, very suitable for young women.
Her phone rang. Su Peizhen picked it up. It was Su Chenghui.
"Peizhen, happy birthday." Su Chenghui had put in a lot of effort to get Su Peizhen out of prison earlier.
This was Su Peizhen's first birthday after she was released from prison. He had wanted to come to Rong City by himself. However, Li Qianxue had been feeling a little uncomfortable these days.
So, whether it was Su Qingsang's birthday or Su Peizhen's birthday, he didn't come.
"Thank you, Dad." As soon as Su Peizhen said this, she felt that Xiang Caiping was looking at her strangely.
She suppressed the helplessness in her heart. Whether Su Chenghui was a different child or not, no matter what he had done in the past, he had truly loved her for more than 20 years.
Because of this, Su Peizhen would never not recognize Su Chenghui.
"Break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, reborn. Peizhen, this gift is the most sincere gift I have. I hope that your future will be bright and smooth. "
"Thank you, Dad." Su Peizhen would be lying if she said that she wasn't touched. "I like this gift very much."
Although she didn't think that she needed a new life, this was Su Chenghui's gift.
"As long as you like it. Qianxue has a cold these days, so I don't have time to come over. I'll go to Rong City to see you in a few days. "
"Okay." Su Peizhen didn't refuse. Su Chenghui's concern had been like this since she was released from prison, neither too far nor too close.
This degree was just right, and it wouldn't make her feel uncomfortable. When she heard that Li Qianxue had a cold, she wanted to ask.
However, she glanced at Xiang Caiping and didn't ask in the end. She hung up the phone and found that Xiang Caiping was looking at her with a look of hesitation.
