Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

Chapter 123 Is it perverted?

But I still can't help but want to laugh, but why does my heart feel so tight and uncomfortable?

The coat was taken off.

Jiang Zhuhua didn't know why the other person was taking off their clothes, and covered her eyes with the blanket with a little shyness.

Even the tips of her ears turned red involuntarily.

Huo Wang watched from the side, gritting his teeth and even frowning.

"Let me show you something."

Pei Hui pulled the blanket down a little, revealing her eyes.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a jumble of marks and scars that looked as if he wanted to tear his body apart.

Pei Hui's skin was very white, as white as jade, except that this jade was full of cracks.

Jiang Zhuhua was so shocked that his pupils shrank.

"See these injuries? Over there, if you played even one wrong note on the piano, you'd be severely punished with a beating. It wouldn't just cause subcutaneous bleeding; it would tear your skin open. If you ever displeased anyone, kneeling as punishment was the least of your worries."

Actually, these injuries are from many years ago. Some came from playing the piano when I was a child, some from trying to rebel, and some were simply from being hurt by losing my temper.

All sorts of things piled up together. Pei Hui thought he had forgotten, but when he spoke them aloud, he realized that he hadn't forgotten anything. He had just been sculpted step by step into the shape the other person wanted, keeping all these hardships bottled up inside.

"The Pei family has a torture chamber, ranging from small needles that are very painful but won't leave a scar, to various electric shock devices. There are even people who will dislocate your bones bit by bit and then put them back in place until they are dislocated due to inertia."

In fact, these words had already exceeded the limits of what should have been said, but Pei Hui just couldn't control his mouth.

It seems that all the grievances have finally found an outlet at this moment.

Seeing the other person's shocked and distressed eyes, I felt no pleasure whatsoever.

“You see, even a stranger like you feels sorry for me, but there no one there would feel sorry for me.”

Cold fingers touched Jiang Zhuhua's eye, revealing layers of wounds piled up before his eyes.

Pei Hui's voice trembled so much he was almost crying, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Jiang Zhuhua followed her instincts and took his hand.

"Your hands are so cold."

She didn't know what she wanted to say, she just grabbed his hand.

"Keep an eye on Jiang Ji. If he gets taken to the Pei family, it will be difficult for him to get out again. You are his legal guardian. As long as you keep an eye on him, don't give in, and use some other methods, that will be enough."

Pei Hui lowered his sleeves again and tried to calm his breathing.

Huo Wang picked up the coat that was on the chair for him.

"Put these on, it's cold."

The weather in early spring is still quite cold, and even with heating indoors, taking off your coat is still an unwise choice.

Pei Hui didn't stand on ceremony and simply took the coat and draped it over his shoulders.

"The folder contains the information we found so far, for your reference."

Pei Hui came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving behind only a folder.

"Is that family crazy?"

After everyone left, Jiang Zhuhua finally couldn't help but start complaining.

If she weren't sick, why would she do something that seems to be torturing others to find pleasure?

“I think so too. So we need to take good care of Jiang Ji, or if you don’t want to, I will.”

Jiang Zhuhua no longer has her previous memories, so Huo Wang naturally wouldn't force her to accept how deep her feelings for that child were.

He still hoped that she wouldn't make a decision she would regret.

"My son? I can handle it, even though I've never taken care of a child before."

After Jiang Zhuhua finished speaking, an awkward silence fell between the two of them.

Huo Wang wanted to get closer, to ask her what she really thought about the Jiang family, and he wanted to ask her all sorts of questions, but she clearly showed a resistant attitude, so all his words got stuck.

All he can do now is try his best to keep the fragile flower in a greenhouse and teach it to face the storms outside little by little.

"You should rest first. The situation outside is still unclear, so don't eat food from strangers. I'll cook and bring it over when it's mealtime. If there's anything urgent, give me a call; it'll go through right away."

Huo Wang made sure to explain everything before reluctantly leaving.

I went to the police station to ask again, but the pregnant woman was still uncooperative, and her family even made a scene in front of the restaurant.

If the pregnant woman's miscarriage was caused by medication, it's unlikely that anything will be detected over time.

Moreover, the restaurant is located in a bustling area, so everything will be widely publicized.

"Alright, I will take legal action to resolve this."

Huo Wang stood ramrod straight, dressed in a suit, facing the pregnant woman lying on the hospital bed.

But even though she was lying in a hospital bed, her complexion was even better than Jiang Zhuhua's.

"Take legal action?"

The pregnant woman gave a disdainful laugh.

"I'm a victim, are you going to sue another victim? Because of you, my child is gone."

Things in front of the hospital bed were swept away with a clattering sound, and because of the excitement, the IV tube in the pregnant woman's hand even started to bleed back.

"The pot of food you ate has been tested and certified, and there are daily attendance records on the bathroom floor. This is enough to prove that it has nothing to do with us. And I'm standing in front of you now just to ask if you're sure you want to stick to your story?"

The police officer stood beside him, and Huo Wang remained standing straight, but his words carried no threat.

"She is kind-hearted and doesn't want to make things too ugly."

Huo Wang said.

"Get out of here! Are you trying to threaten me? This incident happened in your restaurant!"

The pregnant woman became even more agitated, and the police officer looked at Huo Wang with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Ok."

Huo Wang nodded, said nothing more, and turned to contact a lawyer.

Pei Hui was the one who introduced the lawyer; apparently, someone had caused some trouble, and most lawyers wouldn't dare take the case. However, the price was rather high, with consultation fees calculated by the minute.

Huo Wang didn't hesitate at all. He only transferred the money to him after confirming that he could win the case.

After a long interrogation, Wang Xianghai released the man after 24 hours due to insufficient evidence.

This timeframe was rather short, which surprised Wang Xianghai. He had expected someone to cause trouble, delay the process, or try to smear him. Even if he did leave, it would be at least two weeks later.

But it was much faster than he had imagined.

Wang Xianghai called Huo Wang to let him know he was safe and to ask about some simple things.

Huo Wang handed a copy of the test report to Wang Xianghai.

"This kind of thing isn't very useful to me. But her restaurant shouldn't be stigmatized like this."
