Chapter 1416 - I Only Want You (1/2)
When Jing Chu returned, Pei Yi had already drafted the email and set the timing for the email to be sent automatically.
Noticing that she seemed a little troubled, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I saw my mother at Sis Qiao An’s place.”
Pei Yi stood up and sat down beside her, “You mean, your biological mother?”
She answered with a nod, “Yes, she’s Qiao An’s mother as well. Turns out, we’re half-sisters…”
She explained to him everything that happened.
After hearing her words, Pei Yi was utterly speechless. Although his mother had always been cruel to others, she had never let him suffer any hardship before and she had never once given up on him even during their toughest times. It was also the very reason why he was willing to sacrifice his own happiness by marrying Tian Tian for the sake of fulfilling his mother’s wishes.
“It doesn’t matter, you won’t be meeting her again in the future anyway.”
Jing Chu nodded and said, “That’s right. I just feel a little peeved and vexed. Are you done with packing yet?”
“Yes, I’ll be done after sorting all these documents on my computer. However, I think you can call An Xiaoning now to tell her that you’re still alive. After all, I don’t think she knows yet since she probably wouldn’t be paying much attention to the news about R Nation.”
“Alright, sure, I’ll call her right now.”
She had long wanted to call An Xiaoning but never got his permission. Now that he finally allowed her to do so, she was definitely more than glad to call An Xiaoning.
The call went through quickly.
“Hello, who’s speaking?” An Xiaoning asked.
Feeling a little nervous, Jing Chu answered, “It’s… it’s me, Sis Xiaoning. I’m Jing Chu. Do you still remember me? You once saved me from the Widows’ Village.”
“Oh my god, Jing Chu? I really didn’t expect to hear from you again. Where are you now?” An Xiaoning asked in surprise. She had always thought that Jing Chu had already passed away.
“Sis Xiaoning, the people who took me away back then tried to burn me alive, but Pei Yi saved me. I’m married to him now and we have a son together.”
What a piece of… groundbreaking news!
“Wait, isn’t Tian Tian Pei Yi’s wife? Didn’t she give birth to the child too? Did you assume Tian Tian’s identity?”
Jing Chu explained, “No, the child belongs to me and Pei Yi. Tian Tian was only the surrogate mother because my mother-in-law wanted Pei Yi to marry her. Hence, he did so in order to fulfill her wishes. However, we came clean and explained everything to her afterward. Pei Yi and I got married after he divorced Tian Tian.”
Having understood what Jing Chu meant, An Xiaoning said, “Oh, I see. You two are fated to be together, then. That’s great. Is Pei Yi beside you now?”
“Yes, you may talk to him,” said Jing Chu, who then passed the phone to Pei Yi.
He answered, “It’s me.”
“Pei Yi, you’re really something, huh? You brought Jing Chu away for so many years and you didn’t even inform me. Are you carrying the world on your shoulders?”
He chuckled and answered, “I’m not that capable. I’m just afraid that those crooks will come and search for her again. I have something to tell you, though.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m withdrawing from the DK Organization.”
An Xiaoning was extremely astonished. Although the DK Organization was currently in a disadvantageous predicament, An Xiaoning knew clearly that its members were not allowed to just leave as and when they’d like.
“Have you come up with a seamless plan?”
“Yes, I have. Am I worthy of being your friend now?”
An Xiaoning laughed and said, “Yes, you are. However, I’m sure you’re well aware of how relentless and ruthless the DK Organization is. You must be very careful.”
“My life is rather valuable, actually. I’m not going to die so soon. However, since we’re friends now, I must tell you something. Friend, we’ll probably never meet again.”
“Alright, all the best.”
Pei Yi smiled and said, “I’m glad to hear that from you. Rest assured, as long as you don’t hear any bad news about me, it means I’m alive and well. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye. Take good care of Jing Chu and the child.”
