Chapter 8

“What, all of you can’t live without Young Master Wei?” He was smiling, but his eyes were icy cold.

Ning Xiujun’s heart skipped a beat. Just now, she had a strange feeling that Xu Jinye was inside.

“What, all of you can’t live without Young Master Wei?” He was smiling, but his eyes were icy cold.

Ning Xiujun’s heart skipped a beat. Just now, she had a strange feeling that Xu Jinye was inside.

She instantly regretted it.

“I was just asking what you wanted to eat,” she explained.

Wei Liangchen said coldly, “I’m not eating. That’s it for today.”

When Jinye went out, she saw that they were already packing up. Ning Xiujun was on the phone, her face didn’t look very good. “Yes, thank you, Mrs. Wei, I understand…”

And Wei Liangchen was still in that lazy, slouching posture, but his eyes were deep and he looked very displeased.

Ning Xiujun hadn’t figured out her place, she was too hasty.

Zhou Siyu took Jinye’s hand. “Next time, come to our house to play. My brother has a yacht, he’ll take us out to sea.”

Jinye glanced at Zhou Siwei, his eyes were clear and bright, he was the epitome of a gentleman. She felt guilty for what she had said to him earlier. Considering the presence of a certain someone, she didn’t dare to respond.

Zhou Siwei wasn’t in a hurry. “There will be a chance.”

Over there, Ning Xiujun handed the phone to Wei Liangchen. “Mrs. Wei wants to talk to you.”

Wei Liangchen lazily didn’t take it. Ning Xiujun was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Wei’s voice came from the phone. “Liangchen, Miss Ning is here for a rare visit, stay at our villa on the mountain tonight. You have to entertain her well, or your uncle will be angry. He just had surgery, he can’t get upset.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Wei Liangchen could respond.

Mrs. Wei’s voice was loud, everyone heard it.

Wei Liangchen let out a “heh” filled with mockery. “Using that old man to pressure me again.”

Mrs. Wei’s family, the Song family, was one of the top four families in Haicheng. Although Mr. Song had retired, his prestige had never diminished.

Wei Liangchen was crazy, sometimes even the Warlord would disobey him, but he couldn’t disrespect Mr. Song.

Jinye secretly “oh” in her heart.

She also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him look over, his eyes dark and sharp, she quickly retracted the smile at the corner of her mouth and looked straight ahead, pretending to be obedient, waiting for instructions from her leader.

Wei Liangchen’s eyes darkened even more, a smile curved his lips. “Alright, stay.”

He stood up and strode out.

Mrs. Wei’s attitude was clear: she was very satisfied with Ning Xiujun, not only her, but also Mr. Song’s opinion. She didn’t even mind getting on the boat first and paying later.

Ning Xiujun’s face lit up, but after the lesson she had just received, she didn’t dare to be too smug this time. She just silently followed behind.

Although Wei Jiaqi was a little reluctant to let go of her beloved brother, who was about to be taken by another woman, she was still very sensible. “How about this, we go for coffee and shopping this afternoon? We’ll have a big dinner in the evening.”

She was talking to Zhou Siwei, his sister, Yang Xin, and Jinye.

Wei Liangchen paused.

“Okay, okay, why don’t I let my brother treat us?” Zhou Siyu was also sent here to help her brother get married.

Zhou Siwei smiled. “There’s a new Cantonese teahouse in the south of the city, the food is very good, what do you think?”

He was looking at Jinye.

Jinye didn’t know if he had done some research on her beforehand. Because her grandfather had been a constable in Huixian County, Guangdong, before he brought her father, aunt, and uncle to Su City.

Her aunt was very good at making Cantonese food, and she had loved it since she was a child.

Jinye felt a sense of being valued, unlike being with a certain someone, where she was always out of sight, always centered around him. She smiled. “I’m fine with that.”

This time, it wasn’t her standing him up, it was forced circumstances.

Wei Jiaqi: “Then it’s settled.”

The few of them chatted happily, oblivious to the world around them.

Young Master Wei had a dark cloud over his handsome face.

Did he die?

But a certain girl was still smiling so sweetly. He fired a shot into the sky, scaring everyone, and they all looked at him.

“Brother, what are you doing, you scared me to death.” Wei Jiaqi pouted. “Don’t be unhappy, it’s not that we’re not taking you, it’s that you have to accompany Sister Ning.”

Ning Xiujun, a beautiful and fierce woman, also blushed with shyness. “You guys are so unfair, leaving just the two of us.”

Jinye looked away.

Wei Liangchen’s tongue pressed against his back teeth. “Who said I’m unhappy, I’m very happy. I just wanted to have Deputy Commander Shen send you guys.”

Deputy Commander Shen: Uh??

“Yes, Young Master.”

Wei Liangchen: …Why did you agree so quickly?

Deputy Commander Shen quickly drove the car over.

Zhou Siwei also had a car, driven by his driver. He sat in the back seat, Wei Jiaqi was very sensible once again, she pushed Jinye in. “Let’s take Deputy Commander Shen’s car.”

Jinye had no choice but to sit next to Zhou Siwei, she was a little stiff.

Just as the car was about to drive off, a hand rested on the window. Jinye was stunned, she met Wei Liangchen’s gloomy eyes. “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Zhou Siwei was right next to her, what could Jinye say? She could only say dryly, “Have a pleasant evening, Second Brother?”

The veins on Wei Liangchen’s hand, resting on the windowsill, bulged. His gloomy gaze fell on her face, he found her obedient look even more annoying. “Heh, good. Then I wish you a pleasant evening too, little sister Jinye.”

Jinye softly said, “Thank you, Second Brother.”

The veins on Wei Liangchen’s temple throbbed.

Zhou Siwei’s eyes flickered back and forth, he smiled slightly. “Young Master Wei, see you next time.”

The car drove off, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

Jinye relaxed, her back slumped. Zhou Siwei smiled, “You’re very afraid of Young Master Wei.”

“I am.” Jinye said. “No one in the family is not afraid of him.” Even Mrs. Wei couldn’t control him when he went crazy.

But Mrs. Wei still had Mr. Song.

She had no one. Her father was dead, her aunt was unconscious, and her uncle, who had a limp, only came looking for them last year. He opened a grocery store with the support of Warlord Wei. Their whole family was indebted to the Wei family.

“But I think your sibling relationship is pretty good.” Zhou Siwei said.

Jinye smiled. “Yes, Second Brother is sometimes crazy, but he’s pretty good to his sisters at home. Mrs. Wei is also very generous, she’s known for being virtuous and never mistreats her stepchildren.”

Her answer was flawless.

Zhou Siwei was amused by “crazy.” “Mrs. Wei is indeed known for her virtue. It was she who brought you to Mrs. Zhang’s banquet last time, and I had the honor of meeting Miss Xu.”

“Really? You were there?”

“Yes, but I didn’t get to talk to you.” Zhou Siwei’s eyes were sincere and focused. “I’ve been wanting to see you again.”

Jinye felt a little uncomfortable. Was that a confession?

The pace was too fast, she couldn’t keep up. Her face flushed slightly, and she held her hands together, not knowing how to respond.
