Act One Mutation

Yet this pain is but a fraction, not even one ten-thousandth, of the heart-wrenching agony I feel in my chest.

At this moment, all the past events related to Qiao Jiaxuan are flashing before her eyes as if being played in reverse.

After ending the call, Li Changxin pondered for a few seconds, took out his phone from the pocket of his coat, and dialed a number. After a few beeps, the call was finally answered.

In the temperature-controlled ward, Fu Peijia routinely turned her father over and massaged his limbs to prevent bedsores and muscle atrophy

First, let me incur a debt in my name. Will this make things difficult for you? If any application for a guarantee is needed, please arrange it on your end, and I will come over to sign it when the time comes

With every word he spoke, she stumbled back a step... Finally, she collapsed onto the floor, her face streaming with tears

Even in that moment, she still held onto a glimmer of hope. She rushed forward and desperately embraced him: "Jiaxuan, I don't believe it. I don't believe you would do this to me, or to my father. Tell me, you are just lying to me, right? Please?"

He silently gazed at her for a long time before finally speaking. Each of his words was extremely low and slow, as if he were earnestly advising her: "Fu Peijia, after this lesson, remember not to trust others so easily next time. Do not let others take advantage of you while you are still counting their money, do you understand?" Having said that, he turned and entered the two tall doors of the Fu residence.

As if having escaped a calamity, Fu Peijia slowly exhaled a breath from deep within her lungs

What are the relevant treatment costs for the next month

However, I cannot make your favorite Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, as the ingredients are too many and too expensive, and it is very time-consuming. But how about this: I promise you that as long as you wake up, I will definitely learn to make this dish and cook it for you to eat. Is that alright?

This is truly an absurd world

Fu Peijia was looking around when she suddenly smiled, but this smile was even more unappealing than a cry

"Who is she?" Mr. Meng asked his daughter

Madam Meng pondered for a moment and then said: "Alright. Considering your usual diligence in your work, I will settle the payment for you this time. But this is the only exception, and it will not happen again"

Alas, her ex-husband is truly heartless and ungrateful

After everything was over, she took out the cupcake from the paper bag. Such a small one costs fifteen yuan. Normally, this amount would be enough for her to buy breakfast for four days.

At the very least, wait until you graduate from university

"I am sorry, Mrs. Meng. There will not be a next time," Fu Peijia repeatedly apologized

Yuan Jingren turned around and just as he grasped the doorknob, he suddenly heard Qiao Jiaxuan's voice asking: "What is today's date?"

Qiao Jiaxuan parked the car at the entrance of the hospital. After about ten minutes, Fu Peijia, dressed in simple attire, got off the bus. What was different today was that she was carrying a small paper bag as she walked into the building

This is her wedding ring with Qiao Jiaxuan

Alright. Please have Dr. Li come to our department to sign at his convenience. Li Changxin is the son-in-law of the president of Ye's Hospital and one of the future successors of the hospital. Which department would dare to refuse him this courtesy

I understand. Mrs. Meng, feeling drowsy, rubbed her neck and, noticing that Fu Peijia had not left, asked, "Is there anything else?"

Mrs. Meng returned home as usual after one o'clock in the deep night. As soon as she entered, she kicked off her ten-inch high heels and pulled out two hundred yuan from her bag, tossing it to Fu Peijia: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Fu. Take a taxi home tonight. Here's another hundred, consider it your overtime pay"

Lin Qing could not help but feel a sense of sorrow for her kind, and sighed: "Women fear marrying the wrong man. We women must keep our eyes wide open when getting married!"

"Why are you treating me this way?" She was always unwilling to accept it, wanting to know the reason. How ridiculous it was, to be deceived by a man to this extent, yet she still refused to believe it

Occasionally, Fu Peijia stands by the roadside, staring blankly at the cars that rush by. She has thought more than once, if she were to leap forward, would a "bang" sound mark the end of everything?

Meng Xin'er buried herself in the book, reading two pages, when she suddenly turned her head and softly asked, "Sister Pei, what is wrong with you today? Your eyes are red."

"It's alright, Sister Pei. I like you, and I won't let my mother drive you away." The little princess of the Meng family, Meng Xin'er, ran over and tugged at her sleeve.

Fu Peijia has always been perplexed. Why does loving someone deeply lead to such an outcome

Sometimes, when Fu Peijia thinks about it, she feels like laughing. However, she is utterly powerless to lift the corners of her mouth, which feel as heavy as a thousand pounds

Fu Peijia was amused by her, squatting down to ruffle her hair: "Xin'er, you must not speak of your mother like that. In this world, where can one find a mother who does not love her own daughter"

Qiu Min, standing nearby, snorted coldly: "Given the current situation, how can the two of them not part ways? That Qiao Jiaxuan has gained everything, so naturally, he will kick her aside. Just a few days ago, it was reported in the newspapers that the Fu family has already changed its name."

However, today is my birthday, a rare occasion to indulge a little

As with every day over the past year, when she finished giving her father the final massage therapy, the hour hand had already pointed to 6:20

However, Fu Peijia is now at her wit's end. A few days ago, the hospital urged her for two consecutive weeks, but she was unable to pay her father's medical fees. Upon hearing about her situation, Dr. Li Changxin used his own name to provide a guarantee and helped her apply for a special case allowing her to use the medication first and pay later

Could Mrs. Meng settle this month's salary for me in advance

Mrs. Meng's phone call pulled her out of this heart-wrenching moment: "Miss Fu, it is already past 7 o'clock. When will you arrive?"

But before she had a chance to catch her breath, the elevator door unexpectedly opened in front of her

Hello, Dr. Li. This is how Fu Peijia replied to him

Qiao Jiaxuan stared at the phone in his hand, unaware of how long he had maintained this posture. It was not until his assistant, Yuan Jingren, knocked on the door and entered, saying: "Mr. Qiao, you have already taken a half-hour break. Shall we continue the meeting?"

Qiao Jiaxuan leaned back in the office chair, his long fingers resting on his chin, deep in thought, remaining silent for a long time

Lin Qing: "You all do not have boyfriends yet, so as your elder sister, I must remind you of one thing: when you look for a boyfriend in the future, you must keep your eyes wide open and see clearly. A man's good looks are of no use; what is most important is that he has a kind heart and a sense of responsibility. He should be considerate and understand your feelings..."

Meng Xin'er: "Sister Pei, we had our Chinese exam today, and I scored 98 points. The teacher said I have made great progress in the past two months."

Yet at present, the bride from those years appears haggard, no longer possessing even a trace of the enchanting gaze and spirited demeanor she once had.

He opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but in the end, he said nothing at all

Perhaps it is because in the past she did not understand the importance of gratitude and cherishing blessings, which is why today, she finds herself alone singing happy birthday to herself

The marketplace is like a battlefield, and the internal departments of the company are no less a battlefield. If this proposal does not pass, the department's performance this year is likely to be... Manager Peng sat there in trepidation, repeatedly reflecting on his own performance, truly at a loss as to where his presentation had gone wrong to provoke such dissatisfaction from Qiao Jiaxuan

Sister Pei is my nanny and tutor, helping me with my studies. Sister Pei teaches exceptionally well, and the teacher said that I have made great progress in Chinese and mathematics. Dad, come and see, this is my new Chinese test paper, I scored one hundred! Meng Xin'er skipped happily, pulling her father's hand as she entered her bedroom, resembling a joyful little bird

Thus, on the bustling street, Fu Peijia stood by the trash can, devouring her birthday dinner for the day—a piece of bread and a small cupcake in a paper cup

"Who are you looking for?" The man glanced at her sideways, laughing in a peculiar manner. He pushed Fu Peijia forward, stepping in while loudly calling out: "Xin'er, Xin'er—Daddy is here, why aren't you coming out yet?"

Miss Fu, this is for you Lin Qing intercepted her in the corridor and silently handed her the payment reminder

There was almost no gap left between the two individuals. Fu Peijia's back was pressed tightly against the elevator, with no way to retreat. The surrounding area was filled with that person's distinctive and intense aura, leaving her nearly breathless

Fu Peijia was suddenly jolted back to reality, realizing that she had actually missed her work time. She was supposed to go directly from the hospital to the Meng family.

How old will I be when I graduate from university

A thin payment reminder, held in her hand, felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds

Could I ask Mrs. Meng for a favor? I... I am in urgent need of money

Yet everything before her seemed to be covered by a thick glass dome, rendering everything unclear. Fu Peijia did not know how she boarded the bus, how she got off, or how she returned to her rented room

Every weekend, Fu Peijia prepares a simple meal in her rented small house. Dishes such as scrambled eggs with onions, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and curry beef rice are delicious, easy to make, and cost-effective

The afternoon was filled with a lengthy meeting that lasted until 5 o'clock. Qiao Jiaxuan glanced at his watch and instructed everyone, "You have all worked hard. Let's conclude here for today and continue tomorrow"

Yuan Jingren replied: "Number 6"

Just as Fu Peijia thought she was truly going to suffocate to death, she suddenly heard a "ding" sound; the elevator had finally arrived at the first floor. The crowd surged in like a tide.

It seems that she has truly reached a dead end. Congratulations to you, Qiao. May your good wishes come true. Li Changxin said this in a nonchalant manner, and without waiting for Qiao Jiaxuan to respond, he hung up the phone

However, she felt that this was also quite good

However, Fu Peijia knew that such a scene would never occur again in this lifetime

"Who are you looking for?" The strong smell of alcohol wafted through the air, causing Fu Peijia to frown.

Moments later, the elevator came to a stop again, and two people squeezed in. He instinctively took half a step back. Fu Peijia's forehead brushed against his well-tailored suit jacket due to his retreat.

On that day, in a state of confusion, she left without remembering the ring on her hand. Now, it has indeed resolved her urgent predicament

Where is your mother? She hasn't gone to play mahjong again, has she

Qiao Jiaxuan placed his phone face down on the conference table, and when he looked up again, his expression was already calm and composed, showing no trace of the slightest disturbance from the earlier call: "Let them all come in."

"Alright, Miss Fu, I will get busy first." Lin Qing nodded and hurriedly walked in. She was aware of Fu Peijia's situation and was concerned about her feeling embarrassed.

Mulan naturally would not respond to her, as she was happily munching on the hay, enjoying herself immensely

Mr. Qiao, based on the current assessment, the feasibility of the redevelopment investment project for the orphanage land is high, with substantial profits. If the board approves, we can immediately proceed with the matter of reclaiming the orphanage land

After piecing together from various sources, there are still only 9,832 yuan

No. Still no.

She is no longer the Fu Peijia of the past, having come to understand what it means for circumstances to be stronger than individuals, and what it means for one to bow their head under the eaves.

However, this moment is different from that moment

As the last faint glow of the setting sun quietly crept into Fu Chengxiong's hospital room, Fu Peijia pushed open the door to the ward as usual: "Dad, I am here

How should the expenses be handled this time? She has only a little over 4,000 yuan in total. That amount was saved up just a week ago when the company issued salaries.

At that moment, the elevator came to a stop on a certain floor with a "ding" sound, and Fu Peijia instinctively looked up. Just one glance, and she froze completely.

The occasional cold, faint sound emitted by the electronic monitoring devices in the ward further accentuated the tranquility of the entire space

Over the past year, having experienced various human emotions and the ups and downs of job hunting, Fu Peijia is quite satisfied with her current job as a nanny and tutor. Working part-time until midnight, she can earn 5,000 yuan, which is already a very high salary. Therefore, even when Mrs. Meng occasionally feels down and vents her frustrations on her, she silently endures it. During the day, she works as a clerk in a small company, from 9 AM to 5 PM, putting in a full eight hours, and earns only about 5,000 yuan. Thus, even when Mrs. Meng occasionally feels down and vents her frustrations on her, she silently endures it. During the day, she works as a clerk in a small company, from 9 AM to 5 PM, putting in a full eight hours, and earns only about 5,000 yuan.

Could someone suffocate to death in an elevator due to difficulty breathing? Fu Peijia does not know

The person spoke to Li Changxin in a nonchalant manner: "Aren't you coming in? Didn't you say you were going to attend the meeting?"

Unexpectedly, Xin'er was so thoughtful, which warmed Fu Peijia's heart. She then found a reason to try to coax her: "Tonight, Sister Pei will make onion fried rice. I cried while cutting the onions because they were so pungent."

The bus was crowded with many passengers, with groups of people pushing in and then retreating in waves, leaving Fu Peijia squeezed into the corner. Outside the window, there was a bustling flow of traffic

Meng Xin'er heard a sound, ran out of her room, and shouted, "Daddy," then leaped into the man's arms: "Naughty Daddy, bad Daddy. Why did you take so long to come see me?"

Early the next morning, Dr. Li Changxin, who had just finished a consultation, received an internal phone call: "Dr. Li, regarding Mr. Fu whom you have been overseeing, the payment for last month has still not been received as of today. Should our department continue the treatment this month?"

She sat blankly by the bedside

However, only she herself knows that she has long been exhausted

Fu Peijia stood in astonishment, only then realizing that this person was actually Mr. Meng

I am looking for you because of Miss Fu

Xiner is doing great. Come, let Sister Pei take a look at how many questions you got wrong and where the mistakes are. Let's study it together, and if we encounter the same question next time, we will strive to avoid making the same mistakes again

Fu Peijia not only picked up the money, but also politely bowed slightly and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Meng. Please remember to sign Xin'er’s homework notebook."

At dusk, half of the sky over Luohai City seems to have been overturned like a painter's palette, splashing down a myriad of vibrant colors. The busy streets are filled with vehicles winding like flowing water, ceaselessly murmuring. The sounds of people, vehicles, horns, and various lively noises intertwine to create a bustling world of myriad lives

Now she has learned to be frugal, making every penny count and splitting it in half to spend.

The hospital does not have enough money to pay, and the rent has already expired. The landlord has been blocking her early in the morning these past few days

Fu Peijia's next action was to raise her hand and press the close button. The two elevator doors, shining as if new, gradually closed before her eyes, finally shutting and isolating that person outside.

She fed Hua Mulan some of the dried grass she had sun-dried, gently rubbing her soft fur, and said softly: "Hua Mulan, what should I do? This month's money is still insufficient, how can I find a job that pays enough for the medical expenses?"

Qiao Jiaxuan sat motionless in the driver's seat, watching as Fu Peijia's figure gradually disappeared from his line of sight

After the bankruptcy of the Fu family, Fu Peijia left the home where she had grown up. All the supplementary cards that her father had arranged for her were naturally canceled by the bank. Fortunately, there was a small amount of money in one of her savings cards. In the past, she had never given a second thought to money and had no particular concept of it. She had completely forgotten when this money had been saved.

In the silent elevator, even the sound of the cables turning, "gaga" "gaga", is clearly audible

This is a pair of domestically produced black pointed leather shoes from the brand × ×, which is an essential item for Fu Peijia's daily work. Due to frequent wear, the leather at the toe has already been scuffed off. Fu Peijia is financially constrained every month and truly cannot afford to buy another pair. In desperation, she used a black marker to color the toe black and applies shoe polish every night, preparing to endure until the New Year, when she plans to replace them during the discount season

The entire world seemed to explode like a nuclear blast, shattering into fragments before Fu Peijia.

Fu Peijia tilted her head back to inhale, making a great effort to control the tears from falling from her eyes. As she raised her head, she caught sight of the clock, which read 6:30. Fu Peijia hurriedly got up to pack the cake into a bag and quickly tucked the thin blanket around her father, saying, "Dad, I have to go to work now. I will come to see you again tomorrow"

Today the company is a bit busy; if it weren't for Jiang Wei, who sits opposite me helping out, I would still be working overtime at this moment

Fu Peijia spoke to herself while skillfully going to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel, carefully and attentively wiping her father's face

"Sister Pei, when can I finish reading all the books?" Halfway through, Meng Xin'er tilted her head and asked her

I had them all go out. What happened? Has there been a new development in Fu Chengxiong's condition?" Qiao Jiaxuan pinched his throbbing temples and asked casually

Jiaxuan Qiao, who had his back to her, remained silent. After a while, he slowly pulled her hand in and said, "I did not deceive you

I apologize, Mrs. Meng, I will be there shortly. Right away...

I have never liked you. Not even a fraction.

Dr. Li Changxin, waiting for the elevator, probably did not expect to encounter her, and for a moment, he was taken aback and remained motionless. The stern man beside him, dressed in a tailored suit with his tie meticulously arranged, slowly scanned her with his gaze, his expression indifferent as if he were merely looking at a lifeless decorative object.

You have only worked for twenty days this month

I will make the payment as soon as possible. " Fu Peijia said, lowering her eyes, repeating the words she uttered every month.

Two pink one-hundred-yuan bills floated down lightly onto the smooth, shiny marble floor. A year ago, Fu Peijia would not have bent down to pick them up, no matter how much money it was.

Fu Peijia felt both angry and amused, and made an effort to adopt a reprimanding tone: "Focus on your homework. Do not ask so many questions."

Meng Xin'er pouted and complained: "But I feel that my mother doesn't like me, she prefers Mahjong. Either she is not at home, or when she is, she only plays on her phone and never cares about me"

Lin Qing handed her a list: "This is the payment list for this month. All fees in this hospital are prepaid. Mr. Fu's bill was facilitated by Dr. Li Changxin. Therefore, we have all taken the medication in advance"

He actually showed no sign of shame at all, his calm and dark eyes gazing directly into hers, unreservedly admitting: "Yes. Secretary Zhong told you, not a word of it is false."

As she passed by the nurses' station, Head Nurse Lin Qing called out to her: "Miss Fu"

Everyone entered to continue the discussion about the investment proposal. As an assistant, Yuan Jingren clearly noticed that Qiao Jiaxuan was distracted.

Even so, Fu Peijia still felt extremely embarrassed

In the meeting

Fu Peijia hurriedly placed Mulan into a cardboard box, then went into the bathroom, washed her face to refresh herself, and quickly went downstairs

The diamond in the ring refracts a dazzling and brilliant cold light under the bright illumination.

Fu Peijia hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "I have something I would like to ask Mrs. Fu for assistance with"

She definitely won't be busy with anything. Sister Pei, I wish you were my mother

Fu Peijia returned home with the money, expressing her gratitude profusely. She had even become indifferent to shame.

She has not yet paid the treatment fees from last month

Mulan, I feel so tired... so tired, so tired...

As Li Changxin exited the elevator, he politely turned to her and said, "Miss Fu, goodbye"

Mrs. Meng went out as usual to meet her card-playing friends. While Fu Peijia was tutoring Meng Xiner, the doorbell rang

The two people are so close together. She only needs to reach out her hand to embrace his slender waist just like in the past

From the last confrontation in the Fu family's living room to today, it has been one year, six months, and nine days

How old could they be, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old?

Over the past year, Fu Peijia has been filled with self-reproach

She shook slightly, using all her strength to firmly grasp the back of the sofa, and after a long pause, she found her voice to ask him: "Why?"

Accustomed to returning home late and going to bed late, it was rare for me to come home early, and for a moment, I felt somewhat at a loss. Fu Peijia took out the money and counted it several times. Today, having bought cupcakes and bread, I was left with a little less.

On the side of the road, in a luxury car that had been following her all along, Qiao Jiaxuan silently observed everything.

Then I will not disturb you

Alright. Thank you, Director Ji

Fu Peijia, who has never experienced the taste of poverty, has nearly been driven mad by money over the past year. Now she finally understands that the depiction in books of "a penny can drive a hero to his death" is by no means a fabrication

The recently arrived Zhang Yanrong approached and asked, "Has Miss Fu gotten a divorce?"

Because onions are very pungent, they can irritate the eyes... Because onions, like that person, are heartless and can make one cry. Suddenly reminded of Qiao Jiaxuan, Fu Peijia quickly shook her head, driving him out of her mind: "Alright. Quickly correct the exam papers. There is still an hour and a half to do the homework."

That person, just like that day, stepped out without looking back

A long screeching sound echoed as the bus arrived at the Meng family stop. Fu Peijia was already feeling famished. She glanced at the time displayed on her phone and saw that there were still ten minutes left. This meant she had five minutes to satisfy her hunger

Fu Peijia cautiously reached out.

The appearance of a pink woolen coat made her eyes light up: Yes. It is this coat.

All of this has already become a father in a vegetative state, Fu Chengxiong, who has no perception whatsoever

Miss Fu, please hurry up. I am almost late for the card game with my friends

A middle-aged man of unremarkable appearance stood at the door, his gaze somewhat dazed, likely due to having consumed a considerable amount of alcohol. Upon seeing Fu Peijia, he seemed taken aback, staggering back a couple of steps, and then, after confirming the door number once more, he gruffly asked, "Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Recalling the days when she held her father's supplementary credit card, during an afternoon she could spend the equivalent of a regular worker's salary for one or several months, Fu Peijia often felt as if she were in a dream

Li Changxin let out a barely audible sigh. After entering the elevator, he turned his head to greet Fu Peijia: "Miss Fu, hello"

Goodbye. Aside from that, Fu Peijia truly did not know what else to say

Regardless, the payment to the hospital must be made; otherwise, the treatment will be halted. As for next month's rent, I will have to request the landlord for a few more days of grace.

After regaining her senses, she attempted to recall, but her mind was completely blank.

Outside the elevator, a long arm pressed the button to call the elevator. In the next moment, the owner of that arm stepped in with a blank expression and stood still in front of her

Your mother also needs a bit of personal space to engage in activities she enjoys, such as playing mahjong or shopping. Moreover, she will have her own matters to attend to

Finally, when she reached the last pocket, her fingers brushed against a cold metallic object

She did not suffocate due to difficulty in breathing

Our Xin'er is amazing. Let me think about what reward to give you

Are you busy

Fu Peijia immediately received the message, and she turned around to send a message to Mrs. Meng

Fortunately, such thoughts only flash through her mind momentarily. Whenever she regains her composure, she cannot help but shiver. She tells herself that she cannot die yet. Her father is still alive, lying in the hospital, and until he wakes up to say to her, "I forgive you," she cannot die

Unexpectedly, at the most difficult moment, the only one who would help him was his friend

It is already time, and if I take the bus slowly, I estimate that this job will be at risk. Fu Peijia had no choice but to endure the pain and take a taxi to the Meng family.

What is the matter

Fortunately, with this sum of money, she was able to get through the lowest point of her life for six months

Dad, it's time for you to trim your nails again, she said while wiping her hands

Perhaps in this lifetime, the father will never respond to her again. Everything is a result of her own actions, and the father must resent her, which is why he is unwilling to wake up and see her

These whispers, naturally, were inaudible to Fu Peijia

The only awareness is knowing that one has returned home

The tone is cheerful and generous. It seems that her luck should be good tonight

Fu Peijia lowered her eyes and accepted: "Thank you. I will pay the money in the next few days"

As for Mr. Meng, I have not seen Fu Peijia even once during these three months of part-time work.

Although she repeatedly tells herself not to reminisce about the past, there are times when Fu Peijia inevitably thinks back to this time of year, when she would at least celebrate her birthday for a few days, cutting ten or eight cakes and making many wishes.

Mr. Qiao

Such a lovely expression, how could Fu Peijia really be angry with her? She squatted down and patted Xin'er on the head: "Alright. Be good. Come, let's do our homework first, and then review the lessons for tomorrow."

After several seconds, the elevator stopped at the next floor, and several people entered, pushing Li Changxin and Fu Peijia deeper into the elevator

The vastness of heaven and earth is truly not as great as the importance of money to her

I still remember that morning when she learned about the situation of the Fu family, her face turned pale as she asked him: "Is what Uncle Zhong said true?"

Fu Peijia clasped her hands together in prayer and extinguished the candle that had been specially obtained from the cake shop

She understands that their lack of urgency is because they know she has reached the end of her rope

Fu Peijia counted the money over and over again

Fu Peijia lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed on the damaged tip of her shoe

In that moment, Fu Peijia felt as if she had been electrocuted, suddenly throwing her head back. With a loud "thud," the back of her head struck the elevator's steel panel due to the forceful and rapid motion. Fu Peijia frowned and closed her eyes in pain

In the first twenty years of her life, she belonged to a select few who were favored by God. A second-generation rich individual, born with a silver spoon, a beautiful and wealthy woman, possessing both wealth and beauty, all the flattering terms that describe family background and appearance can be applied to her

Fu Peijia slowly buried her head in her knees and said softly, "Hua Mulan, I am truly afraid that I will not be able to endure..."

Qiao Jiaxuan raised his eyes without any emotion, glanced at Manager Peng who proposed the plan, and pondered: "Regarding the proposal for the renovation of the orphanage, we will make a decision at the next meeting. What is the next item for discussion?"

The only response she received in the ward was still the cold beeping sound of the monitor.

I really miss you

Fu Peijia's breathing gradually ceased

That person appeared somewhat troubled and repeatedly explained: "Dr. Li, you are most familiar with the relevant regulations of our hospital"

Fu Peijia is unsure whether she belongs to this situation

This is a part-time job for Fu Peijia. Every evening at 7:00, Fu Peijia goes to the Meng family to help Meng Xin'er review her subjects, take care of Meng Xin'er, give her a bath, and lull her to sleep until Mrs. Meng returns

That evening, due to Mr. Meng's arrival, Fu Peijia returned home early

If this were to be heard by Mrs. Meng, it would be quite a situation; she would probably pack up and leave immediately. Fu Peijia quickly said in a serious tone: "Xin'er, you must not speak carelessly. Sister Pei does not like children who speak recklessly"

This month, it seems there is not even enough money to buy steamed buns or to provide food for Hua Mulan

Fu Chengxiong, who has been in a coma for over a year on the hospital bed, naturally would not respond to her

Mrs. Meng is not an easy employer to get along with. According to Meng Xiner, she had to change several helpers in the year before her arrival. She has been the one who has worked the longest so far. However, since Fu Peijia started working part-time, Mrs. Meng has been relatively pleasant and courteous towards her, as Meng Xiner likes her and has shown improvement in her studies.

All of this is merely for the Fu family

Fu Peijia adjusted the thin blanket for her father and gently kissed his pale, emaciated forehead: "Dad, I will come to see you again tomorrow"

This plan was carried out under the direction of Qiao Jiaxuan. For over a month, Manager Peng's department has been working overtime to collect and evaluate various materials, and it was initially thought that today's meeting would receive special attention from Qiao Jiaxuan. However, it was completely unexpected that Qiao Jiaxuan was very impatient, and there was an implicit tone of disapproval in his voice

I have now not only learned to do laundry and clean, but I have also learned to cook. The tomato and scrambled eggs, as well as the onion and scrambled eggs that I make, are quite good. I can handle various types of pork rib soup, such as radish and pork rib soup, and kelp and pork rib soup, without any difficulty. Impressive, right? Dad, please wake up quickly; as soon as you do, I will cook for you. I promise you will like it.

Once again, it is a payment list exceeding 10,000

Dad, let me turn you over." Fu Peijia struggled to move her father, adjusting him to his side to prevent bedsores

The spacious princess room features pink wallpaper, white furniture, and a dedicated corner for placing toys specifically for children

Thereafter, Li Changxin found it inconvenient to import any further

If this could truly happen, she would indeed be liberated

I am with you, I have gone to great lengths to please you, to win your heart, to make you fall in love with me. Every word I say to you, including the three words 'I love you', is intentional.

She is still alive

"How annoying, it still takes so long!" Meng Xiner said dejectedly, her head hanging low, with a look of utter disinterest on her face

Li Changxin adjusted his glasses and said, "Please continue."

"Goodbye, Miss Fu." As Lin Qing watched Fu Peijia's slender and delicate figure fade away, she couldn't help but recall the grand wedding that took place several years ago in Luohai City, which was attended by numerous celebrities and was a peak event of its time. All of the bride's wedding dresses were designed by a renowned overseas Chinese designer, and even the flowers were airlifted from abroad to Luohai. On the day of the wedding, the vintage and luxurious wedding gown, along with the sea of flowers, could not compare to the bride's radiant smile filled with happiness.

The other end of the phone remained silent, as if the person had vanished into thin air

Meng Xin'er noticed her frown and realized her mistake. She covered her mouth with both hands and blinked her round, bright eyes: "Sister Pei, I won't speak carelessly next time. Please don't dislike me."

Hua Mulan quietly ran over, her ears perked up as she lay beside her. After a long while, Fu Peijia finally reached out and picked her up: "Hua Mulan... I saw him today..."

Mrs. Meng had long been waiting with an expression of impatience. Upon seeing her, she delicately grabbed her bag with her slender fingers and headed outside: "Miss Fu, let me be frank from the outset. There must not be a next time. You have no idea, my mahjong partner has already called several times."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. Those present could already tell from his tone that he was not satisfied with the proposal

Why does cutting onions make people cry? Meng Xiner was confused.

Upon exiting the conference room, Qiao Jiaxuan proceeded directly to the elevator and pressed the button for the underground parking lot

The room was filled with silence.

It is said that the blessings one receives in a lifetime are finite; if one does not learn to cherish them and instead squanders them excessively, one will quickly deplete all the blessings of a lifetime

Qiao Jiaxuan seemed to recall something, and a fleeting look of distraction crossed her face

Meng Xin'er, pouting, said to the closed door: "Mom only knows how to play mahjong every day. I think she must have given birth to me by mistake. She would definitely prefer to have given birth to a set of mahjong tiles instead."

Dad, today I turn one year older again

After an indeterminate amount of time, an object suddenly flashed through her mind. Fu Peijia sprang to her feet and began rummaging through the old cabinet.

It is rare for Xin'er to like a nanny so much. It seems that this nanny is not ordinary. Mr. Meng squinted his eyes and carefully scrutinized Fu Peijia.

Although small, this is a safe space that belongs solely to her. Fu Peijia sat dazed on the worn-out floor, resting her head on the edge of the bed, lost in silence.

What should be done? Hand everything over to the hospital, or is it still not enough? What should she do?

Silence suddenly fell over there

Mrs. Meng enjoys a life of luxury, waking up naturally every day, having lunch, shopping, getting her hair done, and having her nails done. In the evening, she steadfastly plays mahjong with her friends. Looking at Mrs. Meng, Fu Peijia often thinks of her former self. Aside from not playing mahjong, she too had nothing to do and lacked any spiritual sustenance.

No. Mother went out to buy something for me. Xin'er knew that her father did not like her mother playing mahjong, and at such a young age, she already understood the need to cover for her mother. She secretly winked at Fu Peijia, signaling her to "quickly call my mother back".

Dad, please wake up
