Chapter 176 - 176: Don’t Blame Me!
“What’s wrong?” Pei Yu was the first to rush over, but Ling Xue did not respond.
Annie frowned, but before she could continue, a bunch of medical staff rushed in.
Shen Wei looked at the police officer angrily. “My daughter is suffering. Can’t you investigate this matter before questioning her? You’re treating her life as if it means nothing!”
Pei Yu was slightly calmer than her, but he looked at Annie with an unfriendly gaze. “Since my sister fainted, why don’t you go back first? She can’t run away if she’s unconscious. Besides, the Pei family isn’t the kind of family that would run away.”
They couldn’t take Ling Xue away, so the few policemen were indignant. The policeman who led the group could only shake his head. “Okay, we will send someone to the ward to update her situation. I hope everyone can cooperate well and not make a fool of themselves.”
Pei Yu sneered and did not say anything. He watched the police leave before hurriedly entering the ward.
“Doctor, how is she? Did her condition worsen again? Do we have to get a kidney transplant immediately?” Pei Yu had a worried look on his face. Especially when he thought about how Pei Xin was living comfortably while his biological sister had to endure the torment of illness, he felt hatred seep into his bones.
The doctor was a little helpless, but he could not say that Ling Xue was actually conscious. He did not want to get involved in big family matters.
In the end, he could only vaguely say, “She is weak now. She must have been overstimulated just now. Now, she is stable. There is no need to rush for a kidney transplant for the time being.”
Pei Xin’s live had caused a huge commotion. Everyone in the hospital was in danger. No one wanted to get involved in this muddy water. Moreover, Ling Xue’s health was actually getting better.
“Despicable police! They only know how to cause trouble!” Shen Wei held her daughter’s hand with heartache. “And that Pei Xin, why did she show up in public all of a sudden? She even publicly slandered Ling Xue. If it wasn’t for her, Ling Xue wouldn’t be like this!”
Hearing her words, Ling Xue’s fingers twitched and she opened her eyes weakly. “Mom, don’t say that. Pei Xin is unhappy too. After all, 1 took everything from her.”
“What do you mean you stole it? She’s not a member of the Pei family, you are!” Every time Shen Wei thought of her biological daughter living in such an environment, she felt depressed. “If it weren’t for the Pei family, she would have died long ago. How dare she take everything away from you? I’ll make her pay.”
Ling Xue lowered her head sadly. Shen Wei comforted her a few more times before leaving.
“Okay. What’s going on with the fake goods being sold?” Pei Yu asked after sending Shen Wei off.
As time passed, he began to have doubts about some things.
Ling Xue immediately put on an aggrieved expression. “Do you think I did it on purpose? I didn’t know it was fake. I used it myself. They’re on the table.”
Pei Yu turned around and indeed saw a set of PD-branded boxes on the table.
However, he didn’t know that Ling Xue had asked her servants to buy this set at a high price from a purchasing agent. That was why it was authentic.
As she cried, she said, “The factory owner is the father of my high school classmate. He asked me to trust in him, so of course I chose to believe him. But I didn’t expect him to lie to me and even told the police that I was the mastermind behind it. I really didn’t do it on purpose. 1 thought that his family had a legitimate cosmetics factory.”
“You can’t trust everyone! Your previous high school was just an ordinary high school. There are all kinds of bad people there. How can you fall for something like this?” Pei Yu pressed his forehead. “You’re too naive. They only want to earn money from you after knowing your true identity. Hah!”
Pei Yu was always high and mighty. He believed everything Ling Xue said mainly because he felt that all ordinary people hated the rich. He concluded that they must be trying to drag Ling Xue down with them.
“I think there might be a misunderstanding. I… I want to go to the police station to see this factory owner.” Ling Xue tugged at the blanket uneasily. “Lu Li has also been arrested by the police. I need to be there for him.”
Pei Yu then remembered that Lu Li was also involved. He nodded helplessly and said, “Okay, I will go and arrange the transport. I will go with you.”
The Pei family was powerful, but Pei Yu managed to get Ling Xue to meet the factory owner.
Ling Xue used the excuse that she had something to say to the boss alone to send Pei Yu out.
“It must have been hard.” Ling Xue looked at him sadly.
“Haha! I knew that the Pei family was strong. Come on, do something to get me out of here.” The factory owner looked at her with a gratified expression. “If it weren’t for you, I would never have accepted this business. You can’t leave me in the lurch.”
However, when Ling Xue heard his words, she scoffed. She looked at him in amusement and said, “You were the one who told me that you were selling authentic goods. That’s why I proceeded with everything.. Why are you putting the blame on me?”
