Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 66 That Cannon Fodder in a Male-Oriented Novel 21

After Lin Pianyue came out, Song Xianyin told her the news that Pei Zilang had been sentenced to life imprisonment.

Pei Zilang could have received a lighter sentence if he admitted his mistake, but he kept shouting in court that he would kill the two bodyguards and that he would never let Song Xianyin go. The lawyer listening to this turned pale.

She tried to defend him, but he was completely clueless. So the judge granted Pei Zilang's wish and let him spend the rest of his life in prison.

Lin Pianyue remained silent for a long time after hearing the news. Song Xianyin took her arm and glanced at her, saying, "Mom, Pei Zilang going in is another way of protecting him."

He owed so much money, at least no one chopped off his fingers in prison.

Lin Pianyue sighed. It was all her fault for spoiling him. Otherwise, he would have ended up like this.

Song Xianyin's face was full of smiles, and you could not tell that she was sad about her brother going to prison.

Now her mother is finally her own mother.

Pei Zilang, that good-for-nothing, should have been imprisoned long ago; he went to prison a year later than in the original story.

When Lin Pianyue learned that Song Xianyin was living in Pei Qizhan's house, she almost fainted from fright.

Pei Qizhan must want to get revenge on Ayin...

But seeing Song Xianyin acting like an emperor in Pei Qizhan's house, living even more comfortably than she did at the Pei family's residence, she said nothing more.

Song Xianyin even asked Lin Pianyue to live with her. Pei Qizhan didn't react much, but Lin Pianyue immediately refused.

She was Pei Qizhan's father's killer. Just based on that relationship alone, plus the fact that she used to speak ill of him to Pei's father, she felt awkward whenever she saw him.

“Mom, we’ll visit you again when we have time,” Pei Qizhan said.

Lin Pianyue forced a smile: "It's alright if you don't need to look. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Ayin."

Having lived in the Pei family for so long, this was the first time she had heard Pei Qizhan call her "Mom".

"Don't call my mom that. She only has one daughter." Song Xianyin said angrily.

How come Pei Zilang left and Pei Qizhan has arrived?

Pei Qizhan very tactfully changed his address, saying, "Auntie."

Lin Pianyue nodded awkwardly.

Watching Song Xianyin lazily sitting on the sofa watching variety shows, Lin Pianyue felt that this world was truly magical.

Later, Lin Pianyue went to visit Pei Zilang in prison.

Pei Zilang had shaved his head and looked much thinner, like a monkey. He kept crying and begging her to save him.

Seeing him like this, Lin Pianyue couldn't stop crying.

But what good will it do him to get out? Will he just keep gambling? He'll be living a muddled life every day. It would be more meaningful for him to stay in prison.

Every month thereafter, Lin Pianyue would send him some clothes and food, but she wouldn't look at him, because seeing him would cause her heart to ache terribly.

But that's good too. Now that he's inside, she and Ayin won't have to worry about him all the time.

Days passed by, and Song Xianyin spent the entire day at home.

In the original text, today was the day she fell ill and died, but she lay in bed for a long time without having an attack.

Does this mean Pei Qizhan needs to come home to trigger this plot?

Song Xianyin frowned. She looked at her phone and called Pei Qizhan. The call was answered quickly.

"A-Yin?"

Song Xianyin cleared her throat and feigned weakness, saying, "Pei Qizhan, my heart hurts so much, I feel like I'm about to die..."

After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone and waited quietly on the bed for Pei Qizhan to come back.

The second hand on the wall ticked away.

Pei Qizhan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his hands trembling slightly, his face filled with anxiety and tension.

"Has the doctor arrived yet?" Pei Qizhan asked, his eyes reddening as he looked at the road ahead.

The secretary was also very anxious. He held up his phone and said to Pei Qizhan, "The doctor is on his way."

The secretary kept calling Song Xianyin, but no one answered. The mechanical female voice made the atmosphere in the car even more tense.

Seeing Pei Qizhan on the verge of collapse beside him, the secretary comforted him, "Mr. Pei, don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."

But how could Pei Qizhan not be anxious?

He had seen Song Xianyin when she was ill, and the thought that she might leave him at any moment made his heart ache.

The doctor arrived home earlier than them, so she rushed to the bedroom and saw Song Xianyin obediently covered with a blanket.

The doctor, panting, walked up to her side and looked at Song Xianyin, whose face was rosy, and asked, "Ms. Song, are you having heart problems?"

Song Xianyin looked at her somewhat guiltily: "I was feeling a little unwell just now."

Pei Qizhan's family has special equipment, which he bought specifically for Song Xianyin.

The doctor conducted an examination on her, and looking at Song Xianyin lying on the machine, she continued to ask, "Ms. Song, were you really feeling unwell just now?"

Just then, Pei Qizhan returned home. His suit was completely disheveled, and his forehead was covered in sweat, making him look extremely disheveled.

Looking at Song Xianyin lying on the machine, Pei Qizhan's eyes immediately reddened, and his lips trembled involuntarily a few times: "Doctor, how is Ayin?"

The doctor looked at Song Xianyin with a serious expression: "Miss Song?"

This is not something you can joke about.

Looking at Pei Qizhan, Song Xianyin felt extremely guilty: "I didn't have an attack just now. I thought I would."

The atmosphere was extremely quiet. After a moment of silence, the doctor said, "Ms. Song, you should see a psychologist soon. Such psychological suggestion can have a negative impact on you."

She looked at Pei Qizhan beside her and said tactfully, "Mr. Pei, you should spend more time with Miss Song."

The doctor was starting to think this was just a little trick between the young couple.

Pei Qizhan finally felt relieved.

After the doctor and secretary left, Pei Qizhan sat down by the door, panting. He looked down at the blanket on the floor in silence.

He had his head down, and he looked dejected.

Song Xianyin felt increasingly uneasy. She walked up to Pei Qizhan, looked down at him, and said, "Get up, Pei Qizhan."

Pei Qizhan didn't speak or look up at her, making Song Xianyin feel even more guilty.

In the past, Pei Qizhan was always the one to start conversations, but now that he had suddenly stopped talking, she didn't know what to say.

She gave a dry laugh, trying to lighten the mood: "I was just joking with you, and you actually believed me?"

Pei Qizhan leaned back, looked up at Song Xianyin in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it fun?"

Song Xianyin choked, and she forced herself to say, "I think it's alright, you..."

Before Song Xianyin could finish speaking, Pei Qizhan carried her away in his arms. Song Xianyin touched her forehead, which she had bumped, and was about to get angry.

But when she saw his gloomy face, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Her eyes reddened, and she sobbed, "Pei Qizhan, don't do this. I'm a little scared. I just wanted to joke with you."
