"Hey, isn't that the eldest daughter of the Pei family?"

"It really is her! Has she gotten out of prison?"

"Oh my god, hasn't she killed someone before? How could I work with her?"

Pei Qingle was wearing a professional black suit, and her tight skirt accentuated her graceful figure even more. Her thick eyelashes enhanced her clear eyes, which sparkled like stars in the night sky.

Upon hearing those comments, she only smiled.

It had been a month since she was released from prison. In the past five years, she had learned everything in the prison. Her best skill was to disguise herself with a delicate smile.

"Everyone, please come over. Let me introduce you to Pei Qinghuan, our new professional in the sales department."

A layer of sweat appeared on Mr. Zhang's forehead. What an unlucky fellow he was. The famous Pei Qingle had actually come to their department.

Pei Qingle may look pitiful, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful, but she had a filthy heart.

Otherwise, how could she have committed such a crime five year ago when she was just eighteen years old?

Pei Qingle bowed with a smile and greeted everyone politely, but they looked at her with fear and disgust.

After that, Mr. Zhang took her to the office.

Although she was just a clerk, as she was a member of the Pei family and another obvious reason, she could only be alone.

Mr. Zhang lowered his voice, "Miss Pei, this is your office. You don't have to worry so much about work. Mr. Lu has told me not to delegate too much work for you."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. 

Pei Qing rolled her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, but since I'm here, I'm ready to work. You can just order me around as usual."

"Good, good!" Mr. Zhang smiled flatteringly. When he left the office, he grew relieved.

However, as he looked at the door of the office, his gaze suddenly turned cold.

Pei Qingle had just sat down when her phone rang. She took it out and saw that Lu Wenhua was calling her.

He asked, "Qingle, how is it? Can you get used to it?"

Lu Wenhua's voice was as gentle and delicate as the spring breeze five years ago.

Five years ago, Pei Qing would have been happy to hear his voice and she had been crazily in love with him. Five years later, upon hearing his voice, she only felt chills run down her body.

Pei Qingle's voice was soft, without any aggressiveness as she replied, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

However, her eyes were cold enough to make a lesser person tremble.

"I've already ordered Mr. Zhang to take good care of you. Qingle, you got this. I'll pick you up after work."

"Okay."

Pei Qingle hung up on the call with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

If Lu Wenhua were in the entertainment industry, he would have become a famous actor.

She thought of her innocent self and wished that she could kill her former self.

If it weren't for her, her father wouldn't have become comatose.

If it weren't for her, the Pei family wouldn't have fallen into Lu Wenhua's hands.

If it weren't for her, her child wouldn't have died in prison.

That was all thanks to Lu Wenhua.

Since she had come out of prison alive, she was no longer a naïve girl.

She wanted to take back what she had lost little by little.

For the entire afternoon, Pei Qingle worked hard. It was not until her stomach grumbled that she stood up and prepared to take the elevator downstairs to get something to eat.

The Pei family used to be famous in Sein City, but under Lu Wenhua's leadership, their reputation had declined. They only rested on their laurels to survive then.

In the past,  Pei Qingle had been naïve. However, at that moment, she knew that the destruction of the Pei family hadn't happened overnight.

She thought of her father, and her heart throbbed. At that time, her father had firmly believed that she did not hurt anyone. For her, he would rather abandon the entire Pei family and pay any price.

Her father had even held her in his arms and comforted her like when she was a child.

What had she done instead?

She had actually believed Lu Wenhua's words and took the initiative to admit her crimes

When her father heard the news, he was heartbroken and had a heart attack. He had been in a coma in the hospital for five years. Until then, he still relied on medical equipment to maintain his life.

Pei Qingle lowered her head and wiped her tears. She couldn't become weak.

She would definitely restore the Pei family.

When she walked out of the elevator, something quickly rushed into her arms.

Pei Qingle was stunned at first, and she quickly looked down at his arms.

An adorable little boy had run into her.

He looked like he was only four to five years old. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt. His light-colored jeans and sneakers were matching, making him look handsome and charming.

Holding a bag with a cartoon on it in his hand, the boy's chubby face was adorned with thick eyebrows. As though he was nervous, he was clutching the bag tightly in his arms.

His thick eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes, which were as pure as obsidian, were staring at Pei Qingle. His red lips were slightly parted, and he seemed to be in a state of panic.

Pei Qingle's heart fluttered, and her eyes couldn't help but soften.

If her child was still alive, they should be about the same age as the child in front of her. Would her child be as cute as him?

The little boy's voice was soft and lovely as he apologized, "Miss, I'm so sorry. I didn't crash into you on purpose!" 

Stunned for a moment, Pei Qingle then smiled faintly. She bent down and patted the child's head, "It's okay. Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

The little boy immediately looked back and made a shushing gesture with his finger in front of his mouth. He said, "It's Dad's birthday today. I sneaked out to buy him a gift!"

"What an obedient boy you are! Won't your father be worried when he finds out you're out here alone?"

The little boy shook his head and pouted. He looked quite angry, as if he was very dissatisfied with his father. He continued, "Dad is a workaholic. He only knows how to hold meetings every day and he doesn't even play with me!"

Pei Qing couldn't help but comfort him. In her heart, she felt that his parents were too irresponsible for letting their child run around.

As she was thinking about how to help the little boy contact his parents, he grabbed her arm.

"Miss, can you help me choose a birthday present for Dad?"
