After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies-Chapter 372: If a plan fails, another plan is born.

"Let Pei Jing go instead. If you go investigate this yourself, wouldn't it be making too big of a fuss?" Zhi Xia had also considered this issue before, but the only person she could use here was Pei Jing.

Moreover, Pei Jing had his own responsibilities. Helping her investigate this, she was also afraid it would impact him.

"Pei Jing can only stalk them. You won't be able ask around about Gao Second Sister and Gao Dalin's whereabouts from the past yourself." He was different. When they went on long trips, they must have taken the train. He only needed to check the ticket records.

Zhi Xia could only believe he was a man with good judgement. Since he spoke like this, then let him do it.

It was good that she could save herself the trouble.

Orders for Hongfeng Appliances were too high. They were currently planning on opening a branch factory. She was busy to the point her feet didn't touch the ground, and she had no time to do anything else.

Zhi Xia only heard that he had beaten up Pei JianGuo, but didn't know he had beaten him so severely.

The next afternoon, Pei Yong came. He didn't come to blame them, he just wanted to know what mistake Pei JianGuo had committed this time for Pei Jing to kick and break two of his ribs.

Pei Jing himself didn't expect it to be so serious either, so last night when he returned home, he endured the pain for a whole night until this morning when the pain grew worse and worse, to the point Pei JianGuo couldn't even get up. Only then did he have Wang Yue call someone to take him to the hospital.

When Zhi Xia heard the news at the hospital after a series of examinations, it was discovered two ribs in front of his chest were fractured, no wonder the pain was so severe.

Upon hearing this news, Zhi Xia turned her head in surprise to look at Pei Jing.

He was very calm instead, not surprised at all, and calmly told Pei Yong what happened.

"You hit him too lightly!" Pei Yong said angrily, but when facing Zhi Xia, he felt somewhat ashamed, and could only apologize on Pei JianGuo's behalf.

Zhi Xia also knew Pei Yong's difficulty, and of course wouldn't blame Pei JianGuo's mistakes on her, there was no reason for that.

After Pei Yong left, Zhi Xia asked Pei Jing, "You broke his ribs, how come you didn't tell me?"

"Otherwise what did you think I did, tickled him?" And this was still under controlled force. If he didn't hold back and used his full strength, Pei Jing could have directly kicked him to death.

Of course, this wasn't entirely his accomplishment either. Without Zhi Xia, his physical ability would at most be slightly stronger than an average person, and wouldn't be clearly superior like it was now when he didn't try to hide it.

At the hospital, Pei JianGuo was lying in bed, and the doctor who happened to diagnose him was An ZhiXian.

The two could be considered old acquaintances. Although Pei JianGuo wasn't of the same circle as them, after all they grew up together from childhood.

As per his routine, after An ZhiXian finished rounds in the wards, he took the time to return to Pei JianGuo's room and jokingly asked, "Got beaten up? What's going on?"

Would Pei JianGuo dare tell him he went to threaten An ZhiXian, which led to his current predicament?

Clearly, he didn't dare. He could only vaguely say, "I accidentally offended someone, don't gloat over my misfortune."

"Alright, then focus on recovering. If there are any issues have Auntie come get me." An ZhiXian patted his arm. Because the only person who brought him here was Wang Yue.

Just as he was about to leave, a woman rushed in with tears in her eyes and threw herself at Pei JianGuo, "JianGuo, what happened to you? How did you get so severely injured? Are you okay?"

Wang Yue wasn't here. She went to the front desk to pay the medical fees.

Pei JianGuo was afraid An ZhiXian would recognize Gao Second Sister, his entire body seemed very tense, "I'm fine."

An ZhiXian felt the woman who came to see Pei JianGuo seemed a bit familiar, but definitely not his first two ex-wives.

He silently raised his brows, then left the hospital room. But he thought to himself that although Pei JianGuo was useless everywhere else, his luck with women didn't seem bad.

Of course, it wasn't the type of luck he envied.

If he was fickle himself, the nurses at the hospital would have already gone crazy for him.

He wasn't boasting, with his tall stature wearing a white coat, his entire body emitted an air of cold, abstinent allure that easily stirred the hearts of young girls.

Unfortunately, that wasn't his goal. He only wanted to do his job well.

Inside the hospital room, Gao Second Sister was still asking Pei JianGuo, "Was it because of my matters that you ended up like this? JianGuo, I'm sorry. Forget about this matter, losing a bit of money is just losing money. I'd rather be poorer, than see you suffer for my sake."

At this time, Pei JianGuo felt deeply gratified, but also more remorseful towards Gao Second Sister. "Qingcheng, don't blame me. It was me who overestimated that woman, I didn't expect she would still quibble over such an old matter many years later. You didn't see her stubborn and unreasonable manner. I was also in the wrong for slipping words. That's why my uncle disciplined me."

Even when the family all lived together before separating the family assets, no one in the family dared confront Pei Jing other than Grandfather Pei.

He was different from Pei Yong and Pei Sheng. He lost his mother early in childhood. For a few years he was raised under Grandpa Ann's knees who personally taught him. Later when the country stabilized, he returned to his birth father, but didn't stay for long before going to the army.

By that time his personality had already formed, steady and composed, earning the praise of those around him.

Also because he once lived at the An Family for a few years, other than Grandfather Pei he was the closest in the family to the An Family .

Perhaps because he was less familiar, and adding on Pei Jing's coldness, no one dared offend him.

When the family first lived together, Pei JianGuo was overly pampered at home. Pei Jing would often discipline him.

Initially Wang Yue felt he was just a child and shouldn't take him seriously, but later she changed her perspective of him. Pei Jing also became the person she didn't dare provoke the most in the family.

Last night after initially getting beaten, Pei JianGuo held a lot of resentment towards Pei Jing, but after a night passed where the pain kept him from sleeping at all, and as he continuously thought a lot, he gradually comforted himself.

He even naively thought that since he broke two ribs, his uncle's anger should also be gone no matter how big it was. When he recovered he would apologize again. His uncle shouldn't still hold it against him.

It was innate habits formed since he was little. He was born this type of person, it was truly difficult for him to change.

Gao Second Sister's expression secretly darkened.

This fool really didn't have any promise at all. He still comforted himself after getting beaten.

But in a moment of impulse, she had already given herself to him completely. Firing an arrow without leaving any path to turn back, Gao Second Sister felt she never done any deals at a loss.

Since there was no path forward with An ZhiXian, then the only option was...

"JianGuo, I regret this now. If I knew earlier this would turn you into what you currently are, I'd rather not want anything and just work hard in the future. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. With you lying here, you don't know how painful my heart is..."

For now Pei JianGuo still needed to be soothed. After all, his current position was special, and there were still many places where she could make use of him later.

After losing out with An ZhiXian, she certainly needed to make up for losses elsewhere.
