A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

Chapter 222 Father-in-law VS Son-in-law

Lightning flashed across the night sky, thunder rumbled, and the motion-sensor lights in the corridor flickered. The man standing at the door was quite tall, and although his hair was somewhat gray, his imposing presence remained undiminished.

Several people followed behind him, their clothes still damp and cool.

"What about her?"

Pei Sinian stood blocking the doorway, one hand in his pocket, gently stroking the purple mushroom hidden inside. His expression remained unchanged as he uttered two words: "Not here."

Su Ji looked at him with sharp eyes, "It was you who took her away."

The two men standing at the door met each other's gazes, one filled with inquiry and displeasure, the other with coldness and indifference.

The air seemed to crackle with electricity, and the atmosphere was thick with tension and tension, with neither side willing to yield.

Finally, someone behind him reminded him, "Sir, time is running out."

Rumble…

The wind and rain lashed against the window, and the occasional flashes of light outside seemed like ghostly shadows reflected on the man's face. Su Ji gave in, her gaze falling on the room behind him. "Meng Xiaoyou, I know you're here. Your mother is dying and wants to see you one last time before she passes away."

The small bulge in Mr. Zombie's shirt pocket stirred, but he calmed it down by tapping it with his fingertips.

“I told you, she’s not here.”

Meng Xiaoyou's current situation is special, and it is unknown when she will be able to return to human form. There are still some uncertainties in the base. Pei Sinian instinctively felt that if she turned into a mushroom and exposed herself to the public, it would be detrimental to her.

Pei Sinian would not allow any potential danger to Meng Xiaoyou to exist, not even if the person was Meng Xiaoyou's biological father.

What father or not, it's just a blood relationship. Has this human man ever raised a little mushroom?

Even if you don't know the specifics of their relationship, you can probably guess that the human had never raised mushrooms.

If you think about it carefully, he was the one who grew the mushrooms, so why does this person have the audacity to come and ask him for the mushrooms?

As for the mother, whether she was alive or dead was not a concern for Pei Sinian. He considered himself very patient with Su Ji, who had a special status.

If it were any other miscellaneous food, he would have used his supernatural abilities to throw those people out long ago.

But his attitude was abnormal to normal people.

Su Ji's face turned ashen. "You jumped out the window and took him away."

Pei Sinian: "She's not here."

Where did you hide them?

"she is not here."

Su Ji: "..."

For a fleeting moment, he wondered if Pei Sinian was a broken record that had come to life. Even a broken record knows how to change the channel, but he doesn't.

Originally, out of consideration for Meng Xiaoyou, Su Ji did not intend to make a big fuss and cause such an ugly scene. However, now... his eyes sharpened, and he released his powerful supernatural ability, heading straight for Pei Sinian's mind.

His superpower can attack the human nervous system, which is why others dare not offend him. Others would have been in excruciating pain, but the man remained unmoved, as if he had no sense of it and did not take his superpower seriously at all.

For a moment, Su Ji wondered if her superpower had failed, otherwise why wasn't the man reacting?

unless……

This person is more powerful than his superpower.

A storm raged through Su Ji's heart, but his expression changed imperceptibly. His voice was hoarse as he said, "We were the ones who wronged her before. This time, we're just here to see her one last time. We don't expect her to forgive us. As the head of the Su family, I'm making this clear: as long as she's alive, the Su family will protect her. Can you... please don't let my wife have any regrets?"

In his entire life, has he ever bowed down to anyone?

At present, Pei Sinian's strength is unfathomable, and he has no other choice.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I felt that the man's cold expression changed after he said those words. The corners of his lips curled up, silently mocking something.

Su Ji is quite ruthless to outsiders, except to his family. In this moment, he realized that there are such cold-hearted people in the world. Isn't it like Meng Xiaoyou is asking a tiger for its skin if she is with such a person?

Could it be that his daughter was forced?

"Whether she's alive or not, wouldn't Patriarch Su investigate himself? Thanks to Su... Lan Yue, we were ambushed by her and a man on our way back, and Xiao You has disappeared." Pei Sinian pondered for a moment before remembering Su Lan Yue's name, his calm tone concealing a hint of sarcasm, "If I remember correctly, Su Lan Yue is your daughter."

Su Ji took two steps back, his face flickering in and out of the light. At today's meeting, the Su family was stripped of power. He knew that Su Lanyue had planted people, but he never expected that one of them would be Meng Xiaoyou!

If babies are switched at birth, the infants are innocent and should not be blamed. As parents, they hope the two children can get along well.

After bringing Meng Xiaoyou back, she became increasingly willful and would hurt Su Lanyue at the drop of a hat, which made the Su couple have a very bad impression of their biological daughter. Thinking that she had become pregnant while studying outside, they became more harsh on her.

But is that really the case?

Su Lanyue is trying to kill Meng Xiaoyou!

Su Ji wasn't stupid to become the head of the family; once there was a clue, he would immediately guess a lot.

His wife was about to leave him, and his daughter was missing. His heart sank to the bottom, crushed into dust. Waves of heart-wrenching pain made him bend over. Looking at Pei Sinian's ruthless face, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and turned to leave with his men.

After everyone left, half a mushroom haircut popped out of Pei Sinian's pocket. He poked it with his fingertip and asked, "Want to go see her?"

Meng Xiaoyou curled up in his pocket, her mind in turmoil.

She hated the original owner's parents...

I don't like it at all.

Now in the body of a mushroom, he still couldn't help but suppress his emotions after learning of his mother's death.

After a long pause, she shook her head, "Pop..."

She decided not to go anymore and shrank back, clinging to his body through the fabric as if trying to absorb some warmth.

Pei Sinian lowered his eyes, looked at her unhappy expression, his eyebrows furrowed, and he changed his mind.

Five minutes later, downstairs, Su Ji looked at the man following behind her and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"

Pei Sinian remained silent, taking over the back seat without any regard for reason, and slightly raised his chin, "Drive."

Su Ji's facial muscles twitched for a moment. He really wanted to just chase the person away, but the difference in strength was too great, and there were people waiting at home. He didn't have time to waste.

He waved to signal the driver to start the car.

It was still raining when we got in the car, but by the time we arrived at the villa, the rain had noticeably subsided.

The servants guarding the gate waited anxiously, and when they saw the car return, they quickly went to greet it with umbrellas.

"Sir, where is Miss?"

Su Ji didn't speak, her steps were disordered, and she quickly went inside.

Pei Sinian followed silently, his hand constantly soothing the mushroom inside his coat.
