After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Damn it..." Pei Lingxuan said angrily, "They're using people and then throwing them away."

He Miao shook her head: "Exactly! What good are veteran employees? In the end, they still become victims of the capitalists."

“Hmm.” Pei Lingxuan agreed at first, then paused for a few seconds before asking, “But why would that sister choose to tell you something so important? Does she want you to tell her to seek justice for her or something?”

“No, that’s not it,” He Miao denied. “She tells me these things simply because she’s drunk and not thinking clearly.”

“…Huh?” Pei Lingxuan didn’t understand.

He Miao explained, "She didn't know at first that the studio was planning to fire her. It was only after I became a full-time employee and started taking over her work that she realized something was wrong and went upstairs to Mr. Xu's office to verify. Mr. Xu's reason was that she had leaked the studio's secrets to her husband, who worked at a competing company, which violated the studio's taboo, so the studio fired her."

"But she knew in her heart that this was just an excuse to find fault with her, and that the studio just wanted to get rid of her after using her."

"She was unwilling, but she had no other choice because she had really done the leak, so she could only accept being fired from the studio."

"I know about these things because I treated her to a meal before she left, as a way of thanking her for taking care of me for half a month. She drank too much at the dinner table and blurted out these things without thinking. But she didn't tell you the key points, she just revealed the general outline, which is what I'm telling you now."

He Miao's words contained so much information that Pei Lingxuan was stunned for a full minute before she slowly came to her senses.

She tossed her long, loose hair aside and asked a seemingly insignificant question: "Which competing company does that lady's husband work for?"

He Miao frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey!": "Her husband works at what seems to be your brother's company, what's it called, Pei Group? She mentioned it casually when she was drunk."

"But now... the Pei Group is gone, and her husband must have gone somewhere else long ago."

“Ah…” Pei Lingxuan nodded, not showing much surprise. “That’s true.”

"Xiao Xuan, are you... are you unhappy?" He Miao realized she had said a bit too much after she finished speaking, so she quickly touched Pei Linxuan to check her mood.

Pei Lingxuan smiled indifferently: "I'm fine. Several months have passed, and my family and I have long since accepted it."

"..." He Miao scratched her head sheepishly, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat awkward.

Pei Lingxuan could only say again, "I'm really fine, don't be sad. By the way, have you secretly searched online for the name of the company that 'plagiarized' your studio?"

He Miao: "I searched! But maybe the other company hired someone to suppress the hype and reported the video. I only found a small company called Tianyi that had a plagiarism dispute with Weilan Studio. But this small company went bankrupt three months ago. I'm still confused as to why they would choose such an unknown company to generate hype."

“Fate…” Pei Lingxuan murmured the company’s name, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Tianyi Design was a subsidiary of the Pei Group that split off after Pei Xingzhi and Qin Song got married, specializing in design. Now that the Pei Group is gone, Tianyi Design will naturally disappear as well.

“Sigh,” He Miao sighed, “It’s all the fault of those shameless capitalists. I’m just an innocent scapegoat.”

Pei Lingxuan feigned a sigh and said, "Yeah... Hey Xiao Miao, do you know what that lady's name is?"

He Miao: "Her surname is Fu, and her name is Fu Yushu."

"Fu Yushu." Pei Lingxuan memorized this name and also wrote it down on her phone's recording app.

After finishing her meal and saying goodbye to He Miao at the mall entrance, she finally had a chance to take out her phone, turn off the more than three-hour recording, and save it.

She had to go to work in the afternoon. She had originally planned to send the recording to Qin Song first, but considering that the hospital was too crowded and chaotic, and Qin Song had to work and take care of Pei Xingzhi, he wouldn't have time to listen to such a long recording. So she thought about it and decided to wait until she got off work in the evening and went to the hospital to talk to Ye Ci about the recording.

……

The hospital food was really bad, and Pei's mother didn't want Qin Song and the baby in her belly to keep making do, so she took some time in the afternoon to go home and bring over several large boxes of food.

"Xiao Song, eat more, you've gotten so thin these past few days." Mother Pei had prepared all of Qin Song's favorite dishes. As soon as the lunchbox was opened, she kept piling food into Qin Song's bowl, afraid that she wouldn't eat a single bite.

Qin Song watched as the food in his bowl quickly piled up into a small mountain. Before he could even put down his chopsticks, he quickly raised his hand to stop Pei's mother: "Mom, please stop adding more food. My bowl is about to overflow."

Mother Pei brushed her hand away and put two more pieces of sweet and sour pork on her plate: "There's still room, you can fit two more pieces of meat."

Qin Song was both touched and helpless. He wanted to stop her again but couldn't bear to refuse Pei's mother's kindness, so he could only let Pei's mother put rice in her bowl until it was completely empty.

"Eat up." Finally satisfied, Madam Pei smiled and invited Qin Song to eat.

The rice was completely covered up, so Qin Song could only eat the vegetables first. After finishing most of the vegetables, she managed to scrape a couple of mouthfuls of rice from underneath.

"Xiao Song, have you found the person who had the car accident with Xingzhi?"

Pei's mother had wanted to ask this question this morning, but Qin Song was a bit busy, so she didn't find an opportunity to bring it up and hesitated until now.

"..." Upon hearing this, Qin Song paused in his chopsticks, but resumed his actions two seconds later.

"Not yet, the police are already working on it." She hadn't figured out how to explain this to Pei's mother, so she could only lie for the time being and try to delay as long as possible.

"Still haven't found it?" Madam Pei frowned deeply, her face filled with sorrow.

Qin Song: "Mom, don't worry. Xingzhi was hit and injured like this, that person probably isn't much better off. As long as the police are looking, they'll definitely..."

"Oh!"

Before Qin Song could finish speaking, the ward door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

She and Pei's mother looked up at the same time, only to see several faces at the door that she least wanted to see.

"Qin Song, what nonsense did you spout in front of Sisi last night? How dare you curse Wushuang to die? Are you even human?"

Ding Fenglian, Qin Song's former adoptive mother and Qin Sisi's biological mother, stormed into the ward in a fit of rage, pointing at Qin Song and cursing him.

"You're pregnant, so be careful to accumulate some good karma. Be careful, or the retribution for your evil deeds will fall on your child!"
