Boss, Don't Act All Mighty, Miss Pei is Married to Your Brother!

Chapter 19: Speak the Truth

Pei Xin thought of everything that had happened in the room, and her hands subconsciously tightened around the white blanket. She really wanted to tell the police everything that had happened to her, but would anyone believe her? In the end, it was just a matter of who had more money and power.

"I was the one who stabbed them. I'm willing to apologize for my actions."

Pei Xin's answer made Lu Huai frown. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, especially with such a weak woman.

He stood up and began to walk out of the ward with a disappointed face.

Pei Xin timidly looked at Lu Huai's back and felt conflicted. Should she really let those demons go? Why should she suffer all these grievances alone? What if they send her to prison again for hurting them? How would Ling Lin survive without her?

However, Lu Li was Lu Huai's younger brother. How could she afford to offend Lu Huai?

Even with all these questions, she summoned the courage in her to speak up.

"But... They were the ones who touched me first, they were... They were harassing me!"

Pei Xin's words made Lu Huai stop in his tracks. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing a smile that even he himself did not notice.

"Ms. Pei, you have to be responsible for what you say." The male police officer had been standing far away since Pei Xin woke up. It was as if he was afraid that he would be infected by a dirty virus. At this moment, he couldn't care less if Pei Xin was innocent or guilty. All he wanted was for this whole case to blow over.

"I... I..." Pei Xin carefully looked at Lu Huai again, then took a deep breath and looked at the male police officer with a firm gaze. "I acknowledge that I am responsible for what I say. It was because they were harassing me that I chose to resist! It was in self-defense!"

"Don't worry," Annie interrupted. "We'll investigate thoroughly according to your confession." After a few more questions, the officers left the hospital.

This matter involved too many high-status families, and there was no substantial evidence to prove either party saying the truth. The final result was just that it was left unsettled. As such, Pei Xin's heart did not feel at ease. Even the pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital was much better than being back in the Lu family's residence.

Lu Huai followed the two police officers out of the ward. Xu Nuo followed behind and felt that CEO Lu's pace looked much lighter. This was something that had not happened in many years.

"CEO Lu, what about Mr. Lu?" Xu Nuo didn't want to disrupt the flow, but if something really happened to Lu Li, his family would be in a mess. In the end, the blame would be put on CEO Lu.

Lu Huai snorted at the thought of Lu Li. "It's better for something to happen to him so that he can learn from his mistakes. Otherwise, he might make some irreparable mistakes in the future one day and I won't be able to save him then."

Xu Nuo also knew that Lu Li had been spoiled by Madam Lu since he was a child. He had a bad temper and sometimes acted out of line. He knew that Lu Huai was right, but he didn't want others to accuse him.

She looked back at the ward they had just left. Xu Nuo finally said, "CEO Lu... She is... After all... Mr. Lu's ex-fiance. Moreover, we all know that she isn't a good person. Although it is a pity she had to go to jail, it was only fair for her to pay for the crimes committed. You... You shouldn't pity someone like that!"

Xu Nuo quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Lu Huai again. He knew that he had overstepped his boundaries. He knew that should not interfere in Lu Huai's matters, but he couldn't help but speak up.

"This is a warning to you. Next time, if you know that you should keep your mouth shut, keep it shut and sealed." Lu Huai did not get angry. "Also, you shouldn't gossip behind other people's backs like those people. If she really did something wrong, the universe will find its way to punish her, not this group of people who think they are high and mighty righting the wrongs. After settling the matters at hand, go to the Lu family to pick up her son and send them home."

After saying that, Lu Huai did not stay any longer, leaving Xu Nuo deep in thought.

Only Song Yang and Pei Xin were left in the ward; it was pin-drop silent.

Pei Xin thought of Ling Lin, who was still waiting at home. She suddenly got up and was about to pull out the infusion tube in her hand, but Song Yang stopped her in time.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't be hospitalized. My son is still waiting for me at home." Pei Xin looked at Song Yang and said sincerely. In her opinion, all doctors were always worthy of respect.

Song Yang avoided her gaze. "Don't worry, you aren't. You can be discharged after the nutrient solution."

"I don't have money to pay for the medical fees. Please let me go." Pei Xin begged.

"Lu Huai paid for everything." After saying that, Song Yang did not intend to stay any longer, but before he left, he still said to Pei Xin," You should know your physical limits better than me. If you choose to donate your kidney to Ling Xue, you will definitely die on the operating table. Take this advice from a third party, even if you give her your kidney, the Pei family will not be grateful to you. They will still treat you as a disgrace and hate you until the day they die. Think about your son, please."
