Yun Lan's words were incredibly harsh, causing Bai Sheng'er to tremble in fear.
This time, her fear was genuine.
She knew that the Lu family held considerable power and authority as well.
Unable to muster a retort, she could only look pitifully over at Pei Yansi not far away with beseeching eyes.
But Pei Yansi remained silent, lips pursed.
His gaze towards Yun Lan was none too friendly.
Amidst the quarrel between the women, he, as a man, naturally considered himself above joining in, and besides... he was preoccupied with thoughts of Shen Heyu who had collapsed and been hospitalized.
When Yun Lan saw them like that, she snorted disdainfully and left directly.
After informing Lu Yi, who still had some work to finish, she returned alone to Pei Yansi's hospital room.
By late afternoon, as the sun began to set, its golden-red light filled the world, spilling through the hospital room window and casting a glow upon Pei Yansi's face.
This was the scene Lu Yi walked in on.
