Chapter 697: The child in that woman’s womb is not my dad's?!

Pei Ge hurried toward the Qin family’s villa once she received the call.

Although she was rushing in her anxiety, because of the distance between Bi Zheng’s apartment and Qin family’s villa, it took her over an hour to get there.

“Here’s the money, sir! Keep the change!”

She stuffed a few bills to the driver before she hopped out of the cab and rushed to Qin Qitong’s home.

Probably due to the situation’s urgency or another, but the door to the girl’s home was not shut today.

As such, she managed to enter the villa unhindered.

“Qitong, Qitong! Where are you?”

She shouted her name the moment she entered the villa.

Her brows quickly knitted when she saw the scene in the living room.

The living room was a mess and looked as if it had been ravaged by a storm.

What was scarier was the eye-catching pool of blood at the bottom of the living room stairs.

Eyeing it warily, her frown deepened. Her ominous feeling intensified as she approached the red stains.

“Qitong, Qitong! Where are you?”

She stepped over the pool of blood and raced to the girl’s room.

When she got to the third floor, she rapped her knuckles on tightly shut wooden door.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Qitong, are you inside? Quickly come out!” she shouted, persistently knocking on the door.

After a while, just as she moved to kick down the solid wooden door in panic, it finally opened.

“Qitong—”

Her heart ached when she saw Qin Qitong’s pale face.

She looked even more haggard now compared to when she saw her yesterday.

Her face, which was originally pink in health, was now wan as a white sheet of paper.

On her deathly pale face was a rather prominent palm print.

It was as if she had been hit hard across the face by someone.

“Qitong, are you okay? Don’t scare me!”

Looking at the girl, who did nothing but stand there like a corpse after opening the door, she began to panic.

“Don’t be afraid; I’m here. No need to feel scared. With me here, no one can hurt you.” She softly said reassuring words to the girl’s ears as she tightly gripped her palm.

Repeatedly, she said comforting words to her.

Awhile later, the girl finally returned to her senses.

Her dull eyes regained a bit of life.

Qin Qitong stared at her and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Sister Pei Ge…”

“En, I’m here.” She gently patted her back.

The girl burst into tears at her soft reassurance.

“I didn’t do it. I’ve never once thought of hurting her and the child she’s carrying…” she earnestly said between sobs.

“Although I hate her, her child is my father’s – my young brother; how could I bear to harm my unborn brother? Th-That’s a life where’s talking about…”

She implored, sobbing from all the indignance and fear she felt.

“En, en. I know; I know. You didn’t do anything like that…” Pei Ge consoled gently, patting the girl’s back.

“My dad, he hit me for the first time. He’s never raised a hand against me since mom passed away. He said that I was his precious daughter – that he’d love me twice as much on behalf of my mother.” The girl sought solace from her as she shared about the past between her nearly hysterical sobs. “But he actually hit me because of that woman…”

Pei Ge kept silent and just gently patted her back in comfort.

She only spoke when the girl finally calmed down.

“Qitong, now tell me clearly; what exactly happened today?”

The girl recounted what had happened earlier between sobs.

“I-I was planning to go out this morning since I knew that you’d be seeing Bi Zheng.

“Who knew that that woman would refuse to let me out? She also said some offensive things. In the heat of the moment, I started to argue with her.”

Qin Qitong sniffled, then continued.

“I rushed down the stairs regardless of her objection later in frustration, but…”

A panicked expression gradually appeared on Qin Qitong’s face.

“For some reason, she fell down from the stairs. I swear, I didn’t touch her. I just wanted to pull her back, but I failed…”

Unable to keep her emotions in check any longer, tears soaked her face.

“After that… After that, my dad came home. He didn’t ask me anything, nor did he listen to my explanation, and just hit me. He’s never hit me before…”

Pei Ge sighed when she saw the hurt and indignation on her face, gently comforting, “Don’t me scared and stop worrying. I’ll definitely not let that woman wrong you.”

Following which, regardless of the crying girl, she took out her phone and called Ji Ziming.

“Hello, Ziming. Something’s happened again on your cousin’s side. En. Your uncle brought his wife to the hospital already. Could you arrange for someone to check on the woman’s baby for me? Do a paternity test for your uncle and that unborn child…”

She hung up the phone after conveying that to her boyfriend.

Hearing the phone conversation, the girl stopped crying and stared at her.

“Sister Pei Ge, wh-what are you saying? Do you mean to say that the child in that woman’s womb isn’t my dad’s?”
