He wondered who had provoked Young Master so early in the morning. Miss Fei Yi did not seem to have provoked Young Master. She was not an important person, so she would not make Young Master angry because of her.
Then who provoked Young Master??
Ji He racked his brains but could not figure it out.
Pei Jiao pretended not to know anything. She took the breakfast out of the bag and placed it on the small table. She said to Wei Yu, âYou can eat now.â Wei Yu glanced sideways at her and said nothing. Pei Jiao smiled as sweetly as before. âArenât you eating?â
Wei Yu retracted his gaze and left, leaving Pei Jiao with a cold profile and a sentence. âIâm full.â
Pei Jiao:
After Wei Yu left, Ji He quickly turned to ask Pei Jiao, âl couldnât figure out who provoked Young Master after thinking for a long time. Do you know who it was?â
Pei Jiao shook her head innocently. âl donât know either.â
âForget it.â Ji He admitted his bad luck. âWho asked me to follow the strange young master? Iâll leave first. Leave it here after you finish eating. Iâll come back to get the lunch box later.â
Pei Jiao nodded. âOkay.â
After Ji He left, Pei Jiao was alone in the huge house.
Pei Jiao looked in the direction of the door and smiled sarcastically.
Ever since Wei Yu left without breakfast, he had not appeared again for the entire afternoon. Pei Jiao did not run around. She stayed obediently in Wei Yuâs private lounge. She spent her time either watching television or gardening or rummaging through Wei Yuâs bookshelf.
The most miserable person in the afternoon was Ji He. He kept facing the young masterâs cold face. Every second felt like torture, especially when there was a call from the old residence. If the young master did not pick up, Ji He would be scolded.
Ji He felt that he was being put in a spot.
âDr. Ji.â Ji He held his cell phone and begged Ji Qingzhou. âWhy donât you help me persuade the Young Master on account of our surnames? I canât hold on much longer.â
Ji Qingzhou put down the engineering design in his hand and turned to look at
Ji He. âAre you begging me?â
Ji He nodded. âl can even kneel.â
âForget it.â Ji Qingzhou couldnât help but laugh. âBecause kneeling is useless.
You begged the wrong person. Iâm not that familiar with M/ei Yu.â
âIf youâre not even familiar with Young Master, Iâm afraid no one in this base is.â Ji He looked pitiful. âDr. Ji, can you bear to see me suffer like this?â
âHe that hides can find. I clearly saw that Wei Yu was in a good mood when he brought that young lady to the canteen in the morning. After that, I donât know where he brought the young lady. When he came back, he had a cold expression as if everyone owed him. I donât even know what happened. How can I resolve it?â
Ji Qingzhouâs words were filled with logic, so Ji He could not refute.
In the end, Ji He sighed in resignation. âLet me bear the storm from Matriarch alone.â
Ji Qingzhou laughed out loud. He hooked his finger at Ji He, who leaned over. âDr. Ji, are you willing to help me convince Young Master?â
âHow can my persuasion be useful?â Ji Qingzhou knew this well, so he thought of a lousy move. âListen to me. Later, when youâre like thisâ¦â
Two minutes later, Ji He appeared beside Wei Yu. At first, Ji He did not say anything and waited silently at the side. After a while, his phone rang. Ji He picked it up in front of Wei Yu. âMatriarch.â
Wei Yu was checking the design parameters from yesterday. He was very busy, so busy that he had no time to deal with anyone. However, it was difficult for him to ignore Ji He when he was so close to him.
Seeing that Young Master did not react, Ji He followed Ji Qingzhouâs instructions and said to Matriarch Wei, âMatriarch, Young Master is indeed very busy now, but thereâs someone who can take your call in Young Masterâs place. Wait for me for a few minutes. Iâll give her the phone.â
After saying that to the person on the other end of the line, Ji He immediately said to Wei Yu, âYoung Master, Iâll get Miss Fei Yi to answer Matriarchâs call.
What do you think?â
Wei Yuâs expression turned cold.
Ji He pretended not to see Wei Yuâs expression and continued, âIn any case, youâre too busy to leave now, and Miss Fei Yi is very bored. Itâs a good opportunity to chat with the Matriarch. That way, she wonât look for you.â
Although it was a lousy move, Ji He felt that this lousy move seemed to be useful. No matter what he said just now, Young Master would ignore it. When he mentioned Miss Fei Yi just now, Young Master immediately reacted.
Ji He knew that it was working and turned to leave. âYoung Master, Iâll go find Miss Fei Yi first.â
âStop right there!â Wei Yu l s cold voice sounded. Ji He was shocked and immediately stood rooted to the ground. Wei Yu threw aside his work for the time being and stood up to walk over. He took the cell phone from Ji He and glanced at him before answering the call. âGet lost.â
Ji He did not expect Dr. Ji t s lousy move to be so effective. Young Master really could not withstand any provocation. He quickly nodded. âAlright, Iâll get lost now.â With that, he immediately disappeared from Wei Yuâs sight.
Wei Yu held the phone and sat back in his seat. Seeing that the cell phone page was still on, he raised the phone to his ear and called softly, âGrandma.â
The old ladyâs kind voice came from the phone. âWhy havenât you answered my call today?â
Wei Yu said her usual excuse. âIâm busy.â
âSo busy that you donât even have time to answer my call?â The old ladyâs muttering tone was slightly dissatisfied as she complained, âl only stayed for half a day the last time I came back. I havenât been back for almost a month.â
Wei Yu leaned back. âl told you before that the base has lost something very important. The base is currently in full lockdown. I canât come back for the time being.â
The old lady asked, âHow long will I have to wait?â
Wei Yu did not say anything. Fei Yiâs appearance suddenly appeared in his mind and he could not help but guess what she was doing at this moment. As he guessed, his lips curled up unconsciously.
The old lady didnât hear anything. âBusy with something again?â she asked in a raised voice.
âIâm busy.â Wei Yu came back to his senses and said softly, âl might be back in another half a month.â
The old lady said, âYou mean what you say?â
Wei Yu said, âIâll try my best.â
The old lady said, âForget it. You always say to try your best.â After a pause, the old lady remembered what Ji He had told her just now and asked, âThat kid Ji He said something about Miss Fei Yi. Which girl is this?â Wei Yu did not avoid the question. âA girl I met by chance.â
The old lady said, âDo you like her?â
Wei Yu was about to deny it when the old lady suddenly said, âYou have to remember that youâre still engaged. Thatâs the daughter of the Pei family.
Donât take it lightly.â
Wei Yu said nothing.
Knowing that Wei Yu was still on the phone, the old lady had no choice but to mention, âYou knew about the engagement with the daughter of the Pei family long ago. The last time you came back, I quite hoped that you could meet that daughter of the Pei family. Unfortunately, you left in such a hurry. You canât delay it anymore when you come back this time.â
âYu, are you still listening to Grandma?â
The old lady called twice, but there was no response. She thought the line had gone dead.
âIâm listening, Grandma,â Wei Yu said.
The old lady only felt at ease when she heard the voice. She wanted to say something else, but Wei Yu did not hide it anymore. He took the opportunity to tell the old lady the truth.
âGrandma, Iâve already broken off the engagement with the daughter of the
Pei family. I wonât be with her..â
