After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Chapter 192 Blame it on you for not protecting the baby in your belly

The person who answered the phone at the old house was the butler, and he was quite polite to Qiao Wan.

"Hello, Madam, what's the matter with calling?"

"Butler Yang, how has Grandpa been lately?"

"He's fine, but he's been talking about you a lot lately. He gets upset when you don't come to see him, and he even got angry twice and wouldn't leave his room."

It's obvious who Grandpa is angry with; it must be Rong Wenying.

"Butler Yang, I'm calling to ask if Ms. Rong has arranged any blind dates for Pei Hansheng recently?"

"Recently, my wife has been looking for a blind date for our young master. She is the daughter of the Suo family in Beijing. She has just turned twenty and is already a graduate student abroad. She is very smart and beautiful."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he realized he shouldn't have said these things in front of Qiao Wan: "Young Madam, please don't be angry. This is Madam's wish. She's eager to have a grandson and wants to wait until Young Master Pei gets divorced before marrying someone younger. To be honest, if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not keeping the baby. If you had given birth to a son, you might have had a chance to turn things around. What a pity..."

The people at the Pei family's old residence have always spoken like this, never considering Qiao Wan's feelings, saying whatever comes to mind, and never treating Qiao Wan as the true mistress of this house.

Qiao Wan was used to it.

"I'm not angry, I was just asking out of curiosity."

Her son was going to meet a strange woman, especially in such a special setting. What if the woman Pei Hansheng was meeting was a bad person and could harm her child?

Pei Hansheng is a bit careless; she needs to be more attentive.

She had heard of the Suo family's daughter; she was a hot topic among the wealthy young ladies in Beijing, and a marriage prospect pursued by many talented young men.

She has a clean private life, has never been involved in any romantic scandals, and comes from a very strict family, so she has always been single. She is recognized as the purest girl in the capital and is well protected by her family, unlike the ones around Pei Hansheng who are morally corrupt.

Ms. Rong has a keen eye; the Suo family's daughter is indeed a good marriage prospect.

Pei Hansheng brought Xiaobao over, probably to test whether she could accept that he had a child, after all, he still had Zhaozhao by his side.

"Butler Yang, I'm going to visit Grandpa in a few days. I'll bring you some gifts along with the visitor."

"It's good that you came to see the old man. I feel bad that you still think of me. I'll contact you when Madam is not here. Wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wan left the hospital.

Now that she could rest assured about her son, she wanted to visit Xiaotang, so she drove to Yue Shui Bay.

It seems like we have guests at my older brother's house. There are two men's voices inside; one is Fu Yuanzhou, and the other sounds somewhat familiar.

"Are you really not going to tell Qiao Wan about your family's past? Your mother is really heartless. She abandoned her own daughter and poured her heart out to someone else's daughter. What was she thinking?"

"If I tell her, I'm afraid Wenyi might do something foolish because she can't handle it. I've already lost her once, and I absolutely can't let it happen again."

Qiao Wan heard Fu Yuanzhou's words intermittently.

Wenyi, lost...

Could this be the eldest brother's younger sister?

As the two men were talking, Xu suddenly stood up and ran towards the door. Looking at the figure, he realized it was Qiao Wan. It really was her.

"Miss Qiao, we meet again."

The man leaned against the doorway, his handsome, slightly roguish face beaming with a smile as warm and approachable as the sun.

"Young Master Xu came to the capital by boat? That's quite fast."

Xu coughed awkwardly, putting his hand to his mouth, and asked, "Are you mocking me for not having a private jet?"

Qiao Wan smiled: "Of course not. Actually, I'm quite grateful to you for being willing to help me."

"Is your son feeling better? I was thinking of going to the hospital to visit him."

"I've already been discharged from the hospital. The thing I fear most after becoming a mother is my child getting sick. Fortunately, it wasn't as serious as I thought."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have believed you had a child, and it's Pei Hansheng's?"

Qiao Wan smiled, didn't answer him, and walked straight past him.

Fu Yuanzhou got up from the sofa. Qiao Wan had a feeling that his gaze was filled with a complex meaning, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

"Brother, did I come at the wrong time? Should I have contacted you beforehand to tell you I was coming?"

"Brother, you can come here anytime. Xiao Tang is still sleeping. Please sit down and let me take your pulse."

"Big brother also knows traditional Chinese medicine?"

Qiao Wan sat down and stretched out her hand.

Fu Yuanzhou brought over a small pillow, moved Qiao Wan's arm slightly, and looked up at her.

"My grandfather was the 19th generation inheritor of a family of Southern School Chinese Medicine practitioners. I learned it from him when I was a child."

"The Fu family practices Western medicine, yet they have a hidden master among them?"

"Not the Fu family."

Fu Yuanzhou didn't continue speaking and began to take Qiao Wan's pulse.

Qiao Wan lowered her eyes and looked at her elder brother's hand, which had distinct knuckles. It was so beautiful, long and clean, and he held it on her pulse with ease.

"You're recovering well. What supplements have you been taking lately?"

"Some strange soups make you sleepy after eating them, and you sleep longer."

"Keep eating it. It's blood ginseng that Pei Hansheng scoured all over the world. It's good for replenishing qi and blood. I also gave him a prescription, and I guess he's already using it."

Qiao Wan withdrew her hand: "So that's how it is. No wonder I feel like I have more energy than before."

Xu Ze came in from outside. Fu Yuanzhou nodded at him with his chin and told Qiao Wan, "Xu Ze, you two met in the South China Sea."

Qiao Wan turned her head and smiled politely at Xu Ze.

Xu stared blankly at Qiao Wan, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Fate is cruel. If the Wen family hadn't gone bankrupt, this beautiful woman in front of him would be his wife.

He might already have a child, but no woman has ever made him want to have a child with her.

Qiao Wan was the first. I can't explain why, but she looked like a good mother. She had a good personality, was beautiful, and possessed a fatal tenderness that men found hard to resist.

In short, everything about it was wonderful, which is why it lured him to the capital to find out more.

Xu Ze grinned foolishly, but Fu Yuanzhou couldn't stand it anymore and called out to him, "Young Master Xu, are you daydreaming?"

Xu Ze realized he had lost his composure, touched the tip of his nose, and said to Qiao Wan, "Shall we go to a Western restaurant for dinner tonight? It's on me."

Qiao Wan found this person hilarious; the young nobleman was completely unpretentious and exuded a silly charm.

"No, I need to stay with Xiaotang."

Fu Yuanzhou tried to matchmake the two: "It's still early. You can leave after you've seen Xiaotang and Xu Ze. I'll keep an eye on Xiaotang, don't you feel at ease?"

Xu laughed: "Qiao Wan, don't you see? Your older brother is just using you as a third wheel. He and Miss Shen are deeply in love and he thinks we're in the way."

Qiao Wan glanced at Fu Yuanzhou, whose eyes were filled with a smile, but he did not refute her.

The older brother brought Xiaotang back to recover from her injuries in order to cultivate their relationship, and it seems that things are progressing quite smoothly between them.

Shen Yingtang woke up and, hearing the commotion outside, came out leaning on her cane: "Qiao Xiaowan, you're finally back. You heartless woman, I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Fu Yuanzhou glanced back, then walked over anxiously and scooped the person up in his arms: "Why didn't you call me when you woke up? What if you fell?"

Shen Yingtang hooked her arm around the man's neck and gave a haughty snort: "I'll keep tormenting you even if you fall, and make you get up in the middle of the night to make me bone broth."

"It's quite torturous. Your bones hurt, and it breaks my heart to see you suffer."

Fu Yuanzhou spoke sweet nothings in a serious tone, his face slightly flushed, and carried Shen Yingtang to the living room, placing her on the sofa.

Qiao Wan felt quite happy watching the interaction between the two.
