Counting the cold winter, it had already entered the coldest time of the year. It was almost New Yearâs Day, and the entire streets of the capital were showing signs of welcoming the new year. It had been raining all day. The sky was gloomy and colder than usual. It was also easier to be irritated.
Around five oâclock, the frustrated Pei Jiao prepared to go out.
She was really afraid of the cold and changed into an even thicker down jacket.
She tied a rabbit fur scarf around her neck, but she was afraid of getting cold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before she went out, she went back and put on a hat.
Beikeâs car was parked outside Tanhua Manor, waiting for Pei Jiao.
As Pei Jiao came out with an umbrella, Beike recognized her from afar and immediately turned on his spotlights. Pei Jiao changed her hand holding the umbrella and saw Beikeâs car. She quickened her pace and walked towards Beikeâs car.
She sat in the front passenger seat and was putting away the umbrella when she heard Beike click his tongue. âYouâre dressed very differently today.â
Pei Jiao looked up. âWhatâs different?â
Beike said very seriously, âVery⦠cute?â
Pei Jiao snorted. âGirls are incarnations of cuteness. Itâs just that as they age, their style and dressing have changed. Theyâre still essentially cute.â
Beike chuckled. âIt seems that this Young Master Wei has given you an extraordinary blow. Your mentality has changed.â
Pei Jiao could not be bothered with Beikeâs teasing.
Originally, she had planned to meet Wei Yu herself. She had already told Beike
not to look for her for the next two days. However, Beike insisted on meeting Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was hot-headed and actually agreed.
At this moment, Beike was about to start the car. His hand paused in midair for a few seconds before he turned to look at Pei Jiao. âAre you sure you want to meet Wei Yu?â
Pei Jiao nodded. âYes, donât you want to see him too?â
Beike: âYouâre not calling people?â
Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at Beike. âI already said that in a lawful society, people have to be taught when they gather and fight.â
âCome on, you even dare to peek through the firewall to look at national secrets. Compared to being caught and educated, this is life imprisonment.â
Beike accidentally mentioned that Pei Jiao had done the most reckless thing when she was young. She was lucky that time. If she had made even the slightest mistake, Pei Jiao would be in prison now. It was not an exaggeration.
Pei Jiao gestured for him to stop. âHey, a good man doesnât talk about his past bravery.â What she had done back then was indeed rash. If it were now, she would not dare to do it even if she was given a hundred guts.
âHurry up and drive,â Pei Jiao said. âIf youâre late, we might not see Wei Yu.â
The Wei Residence was more than ten kilometers away from the Tanhua Manor where the Pei family lived.
Beike drove for more than half an hour before arriving at the Wei Residence. The car stopped in the distance. Beike lowered the window and looked up at the majestic and ancient residence in front of him. âThis residence of the Wei family is worth some money.â
Pei Jiao said, âThe Wei family is also a famous family.â
âI know.â Beike clicked his tongue. âNo wonder heâs so unyielding. He dared to offend the Pei family.â
Pei Jiao was speechless. Beike clearly did not say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.
The rain was still falling, no less than when she had first left the house. The windshield wiper in front of her scraped back and forth. Pei Jiao looked away and reached out to open the door.
Beike stopped her. âAre you planning to go in just like that?â
Pei Jiao said, âWhat else?â
Beike: âAre you sure the Wei family can let you in?
Pei Jiao said, âLetâs try.â
Beike: âIs there a way?
Pei Jiao said truthfully, âNo.â
Beike: âThen how are you going to get in?
Pei Jiao had already pushed open the car door and picked up the umbrella with her other hand. âJust be thick-skinned enough.â
Halfway down the car, before Pei Jiao could hold the umbrella, Beike suddenly reached out and pulled her back into the car.
Pei Jiao fell back into her seat. She said, âOuch,â and almost hit her head on the gear lever. Beike held the back of her head with his other hand so she didnât hit it, but she managed to sprain her waist. Pei Jiao bared her teeth. âAre you crazy? What are you doing? My waist almost cracked because of you.â
Beike made a shushing gesture, then gestured to Pei Jiao with his eyes. âLook ahead.â Pei Jiao retracted her bared teeth and turned her head. She looked in the direction Beike had indicated.
In this season, the sky darkened early. Half an hourâs journey, the sky was getting dark.
Looking through the night, under the white light of the mansionâs door, a black Cayenne slowly drove out of the side door of the Wei Residence. The guard walked forward and stood outside the backseat window, bending respectfully. The person in the car said something, and the guard smiled and nodded, then retreated. The Cayenne slowly drove out of the mansion.
From afar, Pei Jiaoâs vision was still good. From her angle, she could just see the slowly rising window of the Cayenne after it drove out.
She saw a young man sitting in the backseat. However, Pei Jiao only saw his side profile. Pei Jiaoâs gaze was still following in that direction when the Cayenne drove away.
Beikeâs voice pulled Pei Jiaoâs soul back. âCould the person in the car be Wei
Pei Jiao suddenly turned her head and stared at Beike in surprise. âIs he Wei Yu?â
Beike: âI donât know. I guessed.â
Pei Jiao had never seen Wei Yu when she grew up, let alone Beike. The man in the back seat of the Cayenne just now was especially young and had a special chauffeur. The guardâs attitude was also respectful, so it was very likely that that person was Wei Yu!
Pei Jiao instructed Beike, âGo over there and ask.â
Bei Ke was unhappy. âWhy donât you go yourself?â
Pei Jiao looked at him. âAre you going?
Beike swallowed. âGo, go, go.â
Beike reluctantly pushed open the car door and got out. Pei Jiao handed him an umbrella and reminded him, âDonât ask if the person in the car was Wei Yu Just say that youâre looking for Wei Yu.â
Beike: âGot it.â
âThereâs more,â Pei Jiao said.
Beike turned around. âWhat else?â
Pei Jiao shouted at the top of her voice, âWalk faster!
Beike:
Two minutes later, Beike ran back. He opened the car door and sat in. He said to Pei Jiao loudly, âThe person in that car just now was Wei Yu.â
Pei Jiao said, âDrive and chase after the Cayenne.â
Beike: ?
Seeing that Beike was in a daze, Pei Jiao reminded him, âWhat are you waiting for? Drive, or we wonât be able to catch up.â
âWhy didnât you say so earlier? Weâve come so far. It would be strange if we could catch up!â Beike cursed as he started the engine and drove in the direction Cayenne had left.
Although it was a few minutes late,
Beikeâs tracking skills were very good, and he quickly locked onto the Cayenne driving out of the Wei residence. Pei Jiao stared at the car in front of her while praising Beikeâs tracking skills. âI knew you would definitely catch up. Other than you, no one else has this technology.â
Beike sneered. âStop KTVing me.â
Pei Jiao said, âAlright, Iâll CPU you.â
Beike: âJust donât end up in the ICU in the end.â Unexpectedly, Beikeâs last sentence came true..
