A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return Chapter 1138 - Dangerous Alliance

Chapter 1138: Dangerous Alliance

Feng Kun told her, “That would be Pei Ziheng’s granduncle, Pei Zhenyuan. Even Pei Ziheng is afraid of him. If you can contact him and tell him about your pregnancy, he will do everything he can to take you out of here and get you to go for an abortion.”
Xia Ling was stunned. She could not believe she forgot about the old geezer.
Perhaps, if the old geezer caught wind that she was pregnant with Pei Ziheng’s child, he would be infuriated and would never allow her to have the baby. She was upset that she had to turn to him for help even though she hated him. Looking down and gently caressing her abdomen, she said, “We will have to let the news out.”
“I’ll help you,” Feng Kun said.
After they formulated the plan, Feng Kun left.
In the ward, Xia Ling lived her life as per normal. She got into the usual rage, threw things around and shouted at people. However, she deliberately controlled the frequency. A few days later, she became calm.
Pei Ziheng came to visit her in his free time. He sat by the bed and peeled apples for her.
He was good at peeling apples. Apple skin of even thickness slid between his fingers. After peeling them, he carefully sliced them into pieces and plated them. Presenting it to Xia Ling, he asked, “You’re not angry anymore?”
Xia Ling received the plate, her fluttery lashes leaving faint shadows on her face. “What is there to be angry about, since I can’t abort the child anyway. Pei Ziheng, even if I give birth to him, I will hate him.”
“You’ll like him.” Pei Ziheng smiled.
The two of them sat quietly under the warm light, Pei Ziheng accompanying her as she slowly ate the apple. They looked just like an old couple. A thought flashed across his mind—if only she was his wife. But he killed the thought immediately, knowing that it was not possible. The elders in the family would never agree to it. Also, he needed his wife to have a powerful family background to back him up against the other forces.
This was the only way for them to be with each other in this life.
He wanted to make it up to her. “Be more obedient and I’ll take you out. The snow in Xi Cui Hai is beautiful. Get some new clothes and I’ll take you there for a vacation.”
She mocked. “You still have the heart for a vacation? Why aren’t you taking this time to find a wife with a powerful family, get married to her and expand your empire? Pei Ziheng, you’re always telling me to take a step back and to be more obedient. So all my sacrifice is just so that you have the time to enjoy your life? What happened to the ambitions you talked about?”
Pei Ziheng was enraged.
However, he swallowed this anger and simply said, “You are tired.”
He took the empty plate and walked out of the room.
The door closed silently behind him, and the lights along the corridor were still. Chu Chen was waiting for him by the door. The moment he saw him, he said, “Boss, your schedule for next month has been settled. I have especially emptied three days, so you can go to Xi Cui Hai with Xiao Ling. However, the remaining schedule will be pretty packed. With your long trips to New York and Paris, you might have to sleep on the road.”
Pei Ziheng said, “Xi Cui Hai is canceled.”
Chu Chen was stunned. He guessed that he must have quarreled with Xia Ling again, but did not dare to probe more. He received the plate from Pei Ziheng and followed him silently out of the hospital.
Back in the ward.
Xia Ling looked as Pei Ziheng walked out. She was frustrated and could not get to sleep.
The nurse came in to check and smiled at Xia Ling. “Miss Xia, you’re still up? When Mr. Pei left, he even asked his assistant to get your medical report. He is so nice to you.”
Xia Ling replied coldly, “Is he.”
The nurse said enviously, “Why, isn’t he? If someone was this nice to me, I would be willing to marry him.” That was when she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and glanced at Xia Ling awkwardly to see if she was upset.
Xia Ling knew what the nurse was thinking. In her days in the ward, everyone could guess that she was carrying Pei Ziheng’s child, and yet they were not married. Talking about marriage was assumed to be a taboo topic for her.
However, after all that she’d been through, she had long been numb to such statements.
Giving the excuse that she was tired, she asked for the nurse to leave. Xia Ling lay on the bed and stared at the night sky. Suddenly, she could hear noises outside the door. She cautiously sat up and asked, “Who’s there?!”
A female voice could be heard, “Miss Xia, I’m here to help you.”
Her heart skipped a beat. Pei Zhenyuan’s men were here already?! She stood up and opened the door for the woman. It was a young lady in a nurse’s uniform, holding a tray.
The lady removed the cloth that was covering the tray to reveal another set of uniforms. Hurriedly, she said to Xia Ling, “Miss Xia, put this on quickly and follow me. Old Master Pei Zhenyuan has prepared the location for your abortion.”
Xia Ling changed into the nurse’s uniform immediately. Her hands shook as she thought of her impending fate.
She followed the lady out of the ward. Along the hallway, the guards had all been knocked out. They avoided them and left the hospital in a covert black sedan, disappearing into the night.
After a long while, they reached a private clinic.
Xia Ling followed the lady in and asked, “Where is this?”
The lady replied, “Don’t worry, this is a safe place. Get ready, we will start the procedure immediately.”
Looking at the expressionless faces of the nurses, she started to fear. Ever since she discovered her pregnancy, she had finally arrived at this. She was glad, but still felt a tinge of unwillingness.
She was in a daze until she turned around and saw an old man.
The old man was in a black suit, looking stern and energetic. Looking at her, he said, “You are here.”
Xia Ling bit her lip and said, “Granduncle.” No matter what, she was still the Pei family’s First Miss. Years ago Pei Ziheng fought hard for her to have the same power and status as the Pei family ladies. The other cousins addressed her as Sister, while she had to address Pei Zhenyuan as Granduncle.
He looked at her coldly. “You still have the cheek to call me Granduncle? How can you do something so despicable? You are a humiliation!”
This was not the first time Pei Zhenyuan had reprimanded her.
In the past, she thought that true love trumped all and would always rebut Pei Zhenyuan when he told her off—she had no blood ties with Pei Ziheng, so why couldn’t they be together? But this time, she did not have the mood to talk back to him. She simply said, “Granduncle, start the procedure. After the abortion, send me to somewhere Pei Ziheng will never find me again. This will be good for both of us.”
Pei Zhenyuan smirked. “The Pei family put in so much money to raise and groom you not for you to disappear! Your contract with Imperial Entertainment is still valid, but you want to break the contract?”
