Chapter 372: Make an appointment with Sister Maina
Chapter 372: Meeting with Sister Maina
“What do you want?” There was no emotion in his voice.
“You understand in your heart.” What does she want? She just wanted to leave and return to Li Lei, but such a simple wish was just a luxury after all.
"Impossible." Sure enough, he said, "Xia Ling, you have given up on this idea."
"A person like you is qualified to tell fairy tales?!" She sneered at him, "Pei Ziheng, please listen clearly, I don't love you anymore, I don't love you anymore!"
Behind, there was no sound.
Xia Ling was quiet for a long time, and gradually realized something was wrong. When she turned around, she found that there was nothing behind her. The cold, handsome and cruel man had left at some point.
She suddenly felt that she had gone too far. No matter what, he saved her and Li Lei this time. However, the pain of being forever separated from her beloved made her extremely angry and irritable. She couldn't help but yell at him. All of this was caused by Pei Ziheng, wasn't it?
But I feel very sad.
She wanted to have a nice get-together with him, so why was it so awkward?
She held her wheelchair, stood up, and walked back along the gravel path in the garden step by step.
After walking for a while, she saw Pei Ziheng standing at the end of the corridor, looking out the window, his back a little lonely. It's really strange. She is obviously the one who has been wronged, but why does she feel guilty when she sees him looking lonely?
She hardened her heart, passed by him, and walked to the ward.
"I won't let you go." Behind him, his deep voice suddenly came, "What other wishes do you have?"
Other wishes? What else could she wish for? Now, all she could think about was Li Lei. If she couldn't go to him, then at least...
She turned around, looked at Pei Ziheng, and said, "I want to see Sister Maina."
Pei Ziheng raised his head and his eyes darkened slightly.
"Can't this wish come true?" she said, "Sister Maina is my friend, Pei Ziheng, do you even care about the friends I make?"
Pei Ziheng knew what she was thinking, he just wanted to get some news about Li Lei from Sister Maina, and maybe there was something else he wanted to convey to Sister Maina. "It's not impossible to see her," he said. "It's time to put an end to those things you did outside. Tell Maina that you will always stay by my side."
Just as he knew what she was thinking, she knew what he meant.
Telling Sister Maina is a lie, telling Li Lei is the truth. Pei Ziheng wants her to completely stop thinking about that man. Xia Ling was silent for a long time and said softly: "Okay."
She was eager to know the news about Li Lei, but she also understood that she might never be able to return to him.
She always has to give him an explanation.
The meeting with Sister Maina was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.
The sun-drenched ward is peaceful and warm. In front of the huge glass window is an aquatic plant, spreading its branches and leaves gracefully. Xia Ling was wearing a large hospital gown, sitting on the small sofa in front of the window, watching the arrogant woman push the door open and come in. Long time no see, Sister Maina is still wearing a crisp professional suit, her short hair highlighted in burgundy is simple and fashionable, and she has the aura of a queen.
Seeing Xia Ling, she first bent down and gave her a hug.
Xia Ling rested her head on Sister Maina's shoulder, feeling her strength supporting her, as if she were seeing a relative, and her eyes were sore.
"Good child." Sister Maina patted her gently and touched her soft broken hair, "You have suffered." Xia Ling shook her head, let go of Sister Maina, and asked: "How is he...?"
Although she didn’t say the name, Sister Maina knew who she was talking about. "Boss, he is fine," Sister Maina said. "He is out of danger. He was taken back to the headquarters by Mr. Li for recuperation. The doctor has carefully examined him. There will be no sequelae. Don't worry."
Seeing that what she said was the same as what Chu Chen said before, Xia Ling was slightly relieved. After a moment, he raised his head again: "You really didn't lie to me? If he is really fine, why didn't he come to me?"
Sister Maina took her hand and sat down on the small sofa: "I really didn't lie to you. You know, the old man has always been against you being together. The boss was locked up as soon as he returned, and all his actions were monitored, even to spy on you. I’m very cautious about the news, let alone coming to you.”
Sister Maina didn't know why the old man objected to the two of them being together, so she only comforted her: "Xiao Ling, you don't have to worry too much. Everyone sees the boss's feelings for you. Once he is free, he will return to China as soon as possible. He came to find you. The old man can’t lock him up for the rest of his life.”
What she didn't say was that the old man really didn't plan to keep Li Lei in prison for the rest of his life, but he was already looking for a suitable wife for Li Lei. The old man likes Su Tang very much. He has always created opportunities for the two of them to get along with each other these days. Every time Li Lei talks to Tianyi people on the phone, Su Tang is by his side.
But Sister Maina is not ready to say these things to make Xiao Ling worried.
Xia Ling's expression was still gloomy. She turned away from Sister Maina and looked out the window of the ward.
This is the sixteenth floor. From the window, you can overlook the nearby city and the vast and clear sky. She looked at the sky for a long time, and then said slowly to Sister Maina: "Sister Maina, do me a favor. Tell me when you get back." Li Lei..."
What to tell him?
When she thought of that man's bright smile, and of those days when they were rubbing each other's hair together, she couldn't say the words to break up. But what if we don’t break up? She had sworn to stay by Pei Ziheng's side, and she could not break that oath in this life, otherwise, disaster would come true for Li Lei.
She fell silent.
Sister Maina was silent for a moment and asked softly: "Xiao Ling, are you in trouble?"
Xia Ling lowered her eyes.
Sister Maina: "You don't have to hide it from me, I can roughly guess it. You were rescued by Pei Ziheng's helicopter that day, and Pei Ziheng also rescued the boss. What kind of deal did you make with him, right? For example, use yourself in exchange for Is the boss okay?"
Looking at Xia Ling's expression, she knew she had guessed correctly.
“Why are you so stupid?!” She was angry and distressed, “How could you agree to Pei Ziheng’s excessive request?!”
"I can't help it." Xia Ling's voice was very low.
Sister Maina also knew that she had no choice. In that situation, there was only one way to go. Otherwise, Li Lei would die in that storm. However, she felt very sorry for Xiao Ling, such a young girl, shouldering such a heavy burden alone. "Leave him," Sister Maina said decisively, "leave Pei Ziheng. He took advantage of the crisis to force you to agree to unequal conditions. You don't have to abide by them!"
“I can’t.” Xia Ling said.
Sister Maina didn’t know about the poisonous oath, or even if she knew, she might not take it seriously. Xia Ling didn't explain at all, just said: "You want him to recover well and tell him that everything is fine with me."
As for other things, let’s wait until Li Lei recovers from his injury.
He is still ill. It would be so sad to know that they can never be together again in this life.
