"These are small things, I can take care of them."

Xia Yueqing is not as optimistic as he is.

She didn't know if it was because of the shark incident or something, but she always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen, but she couldn't tell what it was.

The matter was left alone, but the next day, Pei Yiting's uncle Cheng Xiaodong actually came.

Cheng Su was still there, four people in the ward were arrested by Cheng Xiaodong.

"Dad!" Seeing Cheng Xiaodong, Cheng Su almost jumped up from his chair, with a look of hell on his face.

Cheng Xiaodong pursed his lips, frowned tightly, looked away from Cheng Su's face, and saw Yuan Hao, Pei Yiting, Xia Yueqing after a while.

The room was silent.

"Dad, why are you here?" Cheng Su clutched his chest, terrified.

"What's the situation? Well done, why are you in the hospital, Yiting?" Cheng Xiaodong spoke with a calm expression on his face, after all, he is a high-ranking person.

Pei Yiting was very calm, but Xia Yueqing was quite frightened.

It was the first time she saw Cheng Xiaodong, especially Cheng Xiaodong's appearance like this, completely caught them off guard.

Cheng Su wanted to explain, but he hadn't talked to Pei Yiting yet, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

After all, everything she did was behind Cheng Xiaodong's back. She never thought that her father would come after her.

He could only look at Pei Yiting with eyes that asked for help.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, sit down first." As soon as Pei Yiting spoke, Cheng Su woke up like a dream, and moved a chair for Cheng Xiaodong to sit on.

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at his daughter and sat down without giving them a chance to catch their breath. "Tell me, what's going on?"

If he hadn't come to the hospital today for something, he would never have expected to see his sneaky daughter here.

If he hadn't been careful, he wouldn't have been able to find out about Pei Yiting's injury.

"I got a little injury, but it's nothing serious. I didn't expect to alarm you, Uncle."

"A small injury? Need to be hospitalized for a small injury? Where is the injury? How did it happen?" Cheng Xiaodong asked seemingly casually, but his posture was the same as that of a prisoner under interrogation.

Pei Yiting frowned, "I was bitten by a sea fish a few times, and I got some pain on my feet. It will be fine in a few days."

In fact, he could make up many reasons to deceive Cheng Xiaodong, but Pei Yiting chose to say the closest to the truth.

As his uncle, he has been dealing with various cases all his life, so it is not easy to deceive him.

Once his flaws are exposed, Cheng Xiaodong will show his style of handling the case, and the investigation will be endless.

"Sea fish? How could you be bitten by a sea fish?"

The Pei family and the Cheng family don't seem to be closely connected.

But the relationship is really good, and it has never been unfamiliar because of the lack of close contact.

For one thing, Cheng Xiaodong is in a high position and busy with many things. Of course, this is the same for the Pei family.

Second, Cheng Xiaodong lost his wife in his early years, leaving only his only daughter, Cheng Su, and his parents passed away for many years, Cheng Su began to study abroad at a very young age, and naturally the number of female relatives also decreased.

"The leg was hurt, and there was some blood, which attracted fish."

Listening to Pei Yiting's lukewarm explanation, Xia Yueqing's heart skipped a beat.

Looking at his uncle again, with a dignified and scrutinizing look on his face, he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

Cheng Xiaodong snorted softly, "Your mother doesn't know about this yet, does she?"

If it wasn't for a mistake, he would still be kept in the dark.

"Uncle, it's just a trivial matter, why bother my mother?" Pei Yiting curled his lips and asked calmly.

Cheng Xiaodong also knew the character of the old lady, the youngest son's lifeblood, what if he was injured? Some time ago, the Pei family was quite gloomy, and they just eased up a bit.

If Pei Yiting was injured again at this time, his elder sister probably couldn't bear the shock.

Whether it's true or not, Pei Yiting's actions can't be wrong.

However, he still lowered his face and reprimanded Pei Yiting.

"Swimming can hurt you, that's all you can do? I'm ashamed to say it's my nephew when I go out." Cheng Xiaodong disliked Pei Yiting and stood up from the chair.

Looking away from Pei Yiting, he inadvertently saw Xia Yueqing and raised his eyebrows.

"Is this your daughter-in-law?" Cheng Xiaodong squinted his eyes, looked at Xia Yueqing and asked.

Pei Yiting hummed, "Uncle will be invited to have a drink next month, and uncle will have to spare time in advance."

"What's your name? How old are you?"

If it was someone else, Cheng Xiaodong would definitely not bother to ask.

But for my nephew, of course the treatment is different.

"Hello, uncle, I'm Xia Yueqing, you can just call me Xiaoyue." Xia Yueqing opened her mouth at the right time to show her presence.

"Yeah." Cheng Xiaodong's reaction was normal, because he was not familiar with it after all.

However, when looking back at Pei Yiting, it was another scene.

"It's fine if you're injured yourself. You can't even protect your wife. I think you should train in the army for a while."

If it was said that he disliked Pei Yiting before, now it is a blatant mockery.

"Uncle, don't care about his business, it's my own carelessness..."

Before Xia Yueqing finished speaking, Cheng Xiaodong interrupted her rudely. "Don't make excuses for him. It's his fault for not protecting you well. As his wife, you can't pamper him."

What she said made Xia Yueqing dare not plead for Pei Yiting again, so she could only wink at him quietly.

Pei Yiting was well aware of this uncle's temper, so naturally he wouldn't be angry, but rather dumbfounded. "What uncle said is that it won't happen next time."

"I just said not to play tricks, wait until you can really do it, I'm leaving." Cheng Xiaodong waved his hand, ready to leave.

Xia Yueqing and Cheng Su looked at each other and said in unison: "Father/Uncle, I will see you off."

Regardless of Cheng Xiaodong's willingness or not, the two walked out together.

Xia Yueqing's injury was on her hand, and it didn't affect her at all when she sent Cheng Xiaodong off, and she and Cheng Su followed Cheng Xiaodong's side to leave.

Cheng Xiaodong stared at Cheng Su, telling her that he didn't report to her, and concealed the account of Pei Yiting's injury.

For a while, it was full of Cheng Su's voice begging for mercy, but Xia Yueqing's sense of presence was not strong.

After getting out of the elevator, Cheng Xiaodong said to them directly: "Don't send them off, you all go back, my car is outside."

"Of order, Director." Cheng Su made a gesture of salute, and Xia Yueqing also nodded with her lips pursed.

"Take good care of Yiting, and call me if you need something." Cheng Xiaodong reminded solemnly, and then strode away.

He didn't notice that a person opposite had been looking in this direction with shock in his eyes.

Xia Yining signed up and came back, "Mom, why are you so engrossed?"

After finishing speaking, following the direction Zhen Shuangyan was looking at, she was overjoyed to find Xia Yueqing was there.

"Isn't this my sister? Why are you just watching without saying hello?" Xia Yining walked towards Xia Yueqing without saying a word, holding Zhen Shuangyan's hand.
