"Don't you turn off the lights when you sleep?"
She suddenly rolled onto her side. Her voice was soft. "That's right, I don't turn it off. If you're not satisfied, eldest young master Peng, then go and pry open the door!"
They were sharing the same blanket, though there was an obvious distance between them. The air-conditioning wind burrowed into the blanket. The nightdress she wore was disheveled, and her hair covered half of her face. It could not hide the smile on her face.
"Where are the tools?"
"I don't have any!"
Did she expect him to use his hands to pry it open? He sat up abruptly. "Phone. Call Peng Linlin."
"Good Idea!" But when Zhao Jia tried calling her, she realized that Peng Linlin's phone was switched off.
Before she could react, he suddenly appeared in front of her. Her nervous heart trembled. What was he going to do? The smell of his shower gel was so good.
Under the light, his pajamas revealed his attractive skin. Was this what a charming man looked like? The masculine scent. She was still a young and tender 17-year-old girl. It was hard to resist. What if Peng Zezai wanted to force himself on her?
In the next second, he reached out and turned off the light. Then, he lay back down. "Don't have any evil thoughts."
What evil thoughts did she have? He was too narcissistic. Did she have a criminal record or something?
Zhao Jia cleared her throat. "There's something I have to tell you. I need to be very clear. I lost my memory. Even if I really loved you to the ends of the Earth, I don't have those feelings for you anymore." Before he could answer, she moved closer, "Did you hear that? Don't think so highly of yourself from now on."
"I'm not deaf."
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?"
"How should I have answered you?" She used to love him to death. Now, she was the one who said that she did not love him anymore. He was a tool, and he could not be bothered with her. Maybe he had some bad thoughts in mind again.
"Alright, you don't have to answer me. Whatever you want, you'll get it soon. Give me some time." She closed her eyes. Maybe in the past, because she loved him too much, she couldn't live without him. But now, it was different. She was now a renewed and wiser version of herself.
The next morning, Zhao Jia opened her eyes. She was the only one in bed. The person who came in the middle of the night had left. The room door was closed properly. She closed her eyes again. It was not that she did not want to get up, it was that she wanted to wait for Peng Zezai to leave before getting up.
At that moment, in another room, a doctor checked on the patient and left after giving a few instructions.
Wanqing leaned against the headboard with a needle in her hand. "Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry."
"How can I be fine? What did they say? Can you be cured?" Old Madam Peng stared at her with a pained expression.
"Grandma, take your time. There's no need to rush." Her voice was extremely gentle.
"Wan Wan, tell me the truth. Was she the one who pushed you down?"
"Brother Peng said no," Wanqing said softly.
"Wan Wan, we know their relationship very well. For the sake of pride, he can't tell others that his wife tried to kill someone. I, on the other hand, will definitely do right by you."
"Let him go, Grandma. I don't want to make things difficult for Brother Peng. Their relationship wasn't good, but last night..."
"What happened last night? Tell me."
"Last night, Miss Zhao said that she didn't have a boyfriend during her live broadcast. I don't know what she meant..."
"What else could it mean? A woman looks gentle, but her thoughts run deep. If she said that in public, could it be that our eldest young master of the Peng family isn't good enough for her? I have to teach her a lesson." The old madam was slightly angry.
"Grandma, don't..."
"She didn't do this right!"
The old madam went to the Fengting Villa. The sun was shining and it felt just right, not as hot as it was yesterday.
"Old Madam..."
The servants greeted her politely in the hall.
"Where's Zhao Jia?"
"Grandma, sister-in-law has returned to her mother's house. Is there anything you need from her?" Peng Linlin came downstairs with a smile.
Looking at her grandma's expression, she could tell that nothing good awaited Zhao Jia. Her grandma was the most terrifying woman in the entire Peng family.
"Why are you here? When you have nothing to do, go to the hospital and accompany Sister Wan Wan."
Sister Wan Wan was very nice and gentle. She also liked her very much, but she liked her sister-in-law more. Sister-in-law can be a shipper with me, she would even ask for Chang Jin's autograph on behalf of her, she would even take her to see her idol, and she could even give birth to a little niece for he. Although she had been scolded by her brother this morning, the thought of the two of them sharing a bed made her very happy. She felt that she was one step closer to getting her little niece.
"But I'm going to driving school. Grandma, Sister Wan Wan is recovering. I won't disturb her."
She was afraid. Everyone said that her sister-in-law pushed Sister Wan Wan down the stairs. Sister-in-law was so gentle. How could she do such a thing?
"You're a girl, don't go about in a hurry, that's very crass. Also, the sun is bright, you'll get a sunburn if you run out. And you have a driver at home, use him. Besides, if you run off on your own, where am i supposed to find you?"
"Well, you're right, grandma. I'll definitely do as you said. But grandma, why are you looking for sister-in-law?"
