Chapter 272: Want to See Your Twin Sons?

He only released his grip when he had safely pl...Jo Bao'er has been feeling lost and disoriented lately. Ever since Zhu Xiao Wei came to visit her with Pei Haoran's son last week, she hasn't contacted anyone else.

The whole world was bustling, but she felt as if she had suddenly lost her way.

I wanted to call Zhu Xiaowei and ask her out for a walk.

"Pei Haoran has been working on a big project with Jun recently, he's always on business trips, so he left Pei Yi with me. That little brat is so annoying, he keeps bothering me and I haven't had any time to myself all day." Zhu Xiaowei complained on the phone.

"Wanna go shopping with me"

Zhu Xiaowei still valued her close friends the most. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Pei Haoran returned last night and is in his study right now. I'll go tell him, you wait here a minute, don't hang up..."

Zhu Xiao Wei wanted to rush to the study to ask her boss for leave, just then the doorbell of Pei's house rang.

Who is coming at this time

As a wage earner, Zhu Xiaowei was very self-aware of being a servant, so she first went to open the door for the guest.

As soon as the door opened, the two women looked at each other in astonishment.

"What are you doing standing at the door Go make some tea." Pei Haoran walked out from behind, his voice bringing the two women back to their senses.

Zhu Xiaowei, hearing her boss's instructions, gave the woman at the door a polite smile that didn't quite reach her eyes and said, "Come in. I'll go make some tea for you."

Zhu Xiaowei moved gracefully, making a pot of Biluochun tea in the living room before politely retreating.

As she was leaving, her gaze lingered on Pei Haoran for a moment longer than necessary.

How did Xia Chuixue get here

"How is she here" Xia Chui Xue was just as curious as her.

Pei Haoran looked as usual and casually replied, "She's my family's nanny."

"Zhu Xiaowei is working as your maid" Xia Chuixue's tone was full of disbelief. After all, Zhu Xiaowei had worked under her before, and she was very clear about her educational background. How could she possibly be a maid

Because Zhu Xiaowei is Qiao Baier's good friend, she also has a special concern for her. Xia Chuixue looked towards the kitchen and, with an inscrutable expression, playfully asked, "Hao Ran, are you and she in a relationship..."

Pei Haoran, however, seemed not to have heard her question. With a serious expression, he shouted towards the kitchen, "Miss Zhu, Pei Yi's school just called to inform me that there is a parent-teacher meeting I need to attend. You should go to the school immediately, find out what happened, and report back to me."

Zhu Xiaowei pressed her ear against the wall, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she heard her boss tell her to get back to work.

She turned dark, these capitalists always make people do things so effortlessly, why should I go It's the weekend today and there's no overtime pay.

But as a lowly servant, he had no rights. Zhu Xiao Wei reluctantly replied, "Understood."

"Is it Xia Chui Xue"

The phone hadn't been hung up. Qiao Baoer could hear faint sounds from her end.

"Yes," Zhu Xiaowei didn't hide it from her either, "I heard she was promoted again at AmAm. She came over to see Pei Haoran today, probably to discuss a group project."

Jo Bao'er listened quietly, without any emotion, "Oh."

Zhu Xiao Wei asked her if she wanted to go to kindergarten together as a way to relax, Qiao Baoer refused. Seeing those children would inevitably make her overthink things.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Baoer took another antidepressant. Looking at this empty house, she just couldn't get her spirits up. She decided to go for a walk, to really think about where she wanted to go from here.

Actually, Gu Ruoyan called her yesterday and basically asked if she wanted to leave this city and go to a new place or even abroad.

She didn't know what she was holding onto, but deep down, she knew she didn't want to leave.

...at least he's not ready to leave yet.

Whether it was that winter arrived particularly early this year, or that her body had grown weaker, by early December she already felt the biting cold wind on the streets. Wrapped in a long coat, with a scarf around her neck, she still shivered as she walked.

Since December 25th is Christmas, she could see many stores outside starting to decorate Christmas trees, playing cheerful Christmas songs, and there were festive red-clothed Santa Claus models.

She hadn't celebrated Christmas in many years. Today was a weekend, so there were many families out and about with their children. Seeing these families getting along so well, her eyes welled up. Such warmth and happiness seemed impossible for her to experience.

Qiaobao'er strolled along the street, walking aimlessly.

She couldn't even remember which alleyway she had walked into. Suddenly, she heard some strange fighting sounds. She stopped her steps and looked to her right with a puzzled expression.

A man and a woman were fighting. The man was at least six feet tall, with a muscular and sturdy build. He had dark skin, thick arms, and a heavy iron rod from a construction site in his right hand. His face was contorted in anger as he raised the iron rod and brought it down towards the woman's head.

Joe Baoer was stunned, her expression frozen. The woman's back looked frail and tall; with such a fall, she must have hit her head and bled.

However, things didn't go that way. The woman moved with incredible speed; before Qiao Baoer could even see clearly, she had dodged the man's attack.

She reacted swiftly, grabbing the man's wrist with a forceful grip. It seemed like she knew exactly where his pressure points were, as his face instantly paled. His wrist went limp, as if broken, and with a thud, the iron rod fell to the ground.

Just as Qiao Bao'er was marvelling at the woman's miraculous counterattack, she caught a glimpse of the woman's profile. It was the strange woman she had encountered some time ago.

Qiao Bao'er thought the fight was over, but another hand reached out from in front and grabbed the man's back of the neck. Her grip was astonishingly strong. With bare hands, she pressed the man's forehead against the wall, striking repeatedly with all her might. The man's face was covered in blood.

He wanted to struggle, but he directly broke his left arm, the sound of the bone breaking was terrifying. The man roared like a madman, and soon his throat was grabbed, the next second his neck could be snapped...

Qiao Bao'er was startled and took a step back, but she accidentally kicked an empty soda can. There was a crisp and tiny sound.

"Come out!"

Her movements stopped, her face was pretty with a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips, but her eyes were sharp, radiating ruthlessness. She immediately called out to Qiao Bao'er.

Qiao Bao'er's stiff body remained motionless. She heard the sound of a heavy object being dropped to the ground. The man was already out of breath, thrown onto the filthy floor, followed by approaching footsteps.

About twenty meters away, Qiao Bao'er didn't run. She knew very well that she couldn't outrun this woman.

"Miss Qiao, it's you!" He spoke to her in a lighthearted tone as if they were old friends reunited.

Qiao Baoer's heart pounded wildly as she stared intently at the woman before her.

She had been exposed to many self-defense martial arts since she was a child. Her karate skills were also quite good, but who was this person in front of her

Qiao Baoer feigned calmness and retorted, "Do you know me"

"Yes, we met a long time ago. Don't you remember me at all"

A smile spread across her face, a harmless one. Then she gestured at her abdomen, her lips curving upward, " ... you were carrying quite the belly back then."

His eyes were fixed on her, a strange smile playing on his lips, a hint of disdain in his every word.

"When" Qiao Baoer felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze and stammered, "What time is it"

Instead of answering her, he raised an eyebrow, and in a friendly tone asked her, "By the way, did you go to the hospital to see those doctors about that"

She was very candid, "It's useless, I'm telling you. All 15 people involved in your surgery that day, including the doctors and nurses, were sent abroad under the guise of being reassigned. They have new identities; you won't be able to find them."

Qiao Baoer didn't expect her to bring up the surgery. She was stunned.

After a while, she suppressed the fear in her heart, "You, what do you want to tell me"

The smile on his lips deepened. "Oh, nothing much, just wanted to say your twin sons are alive."

Jo Baoer's expression froze, and she remained speechless for a long time.

They stared at each other in silence, and then casually asked her, "Do you want to see them"fraid of me, maybe I’m really useless.” But an ordinary person staying in such an atmosphere would find it really hard to stay calm.They were teasing each other, then suddenly fell silent, noticing Xi...
