“Hello?” She asked, “you’re here?”
However, Wei Wei was panting on the other end of the phone. She replied in a loud voice, “I’m really sorry, Director Xu! I was rear-ended! I’ll go over after I’m done. Can you wait for me?”
Xu Mingzhi’s mouth twitched as he glanced at Su Cunyi.
Su Cunyi didn’t close the car door, so he heard everything.
“Send you back?” He asked.
Xu Mingzhi pinched her phone and walked over. Su Cunyi scooted. Then, the next second, Xu Mingzhi kicked the car door with a bang. “If Wei Wei can’t come, there’s still Old Wang. Besides, even if I take a taxi myself, I won’t take your car!”
The driver was so frightened that he shivered. He stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove away.
Xu Mingzhi was a person who cared about his face, especially in front of Su Cunyi.
As soon as the car drove away, she called Wang Zhicheng. She didn’t notice that Su Cunyi’s car had actually stopped at the intersection.
“Old Wang, are you asleep? Did you drink tonight?”
“Madam, I didn’t drink it, but…” Wang Zhicheng stammered over the phone. “Have you forgotten? I’m on vacation today and I’m in my hometown now…”
Xu Mingzhi pressed her temples and remembered.
She had indeed given Wang Zhicheng a day off today, and her old friend had only given him one day off this year.
“Madam, where are you now? I can drive back in about three hours!” Wang Zhicheng’s loyalty was evident.
Xu Mingzhi felt warm inside. “No need. I’ll get Wei Wei to pick me up.”
Wang Zhicheng said, “oh.”
After hanging up, Xu Mingzhi searched for a taxi app.
The man’s cold voice came from the side. “Wei Wei can’t come, right? Who else is there?”
Her lie was exposed. Xu Mingzhi paused for a moment and subconsciously frowned. She looked in that direction, but then her expression froze.
The car that had clearly driven away just now had reversed back to its original spot.
Su Cunyi rolled down the car window. “There’s no way to get a taxi in this villa area. It’s New Year’s Eve today.”
He said, “get in the car.”
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, Su Ji watched as Madam Xu got into Su Cunyi’s car before she raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
She replied to Pei Huai on WeChat, who was picking up things in the study.
“Don’t worry, my dad sent my mom back.”
Just after the dinner, Shen Mu came over to deliver something to Pei Huai. He did not know what treasure it was, but he heard that it was quite difficult to buy. At this moment, Pei Huai was inspecting the goods in the study.
“That’s good.”
Su Ji retracted her gaze. In the dining room, she saw Wang Yi, who had yet to leave, asking the servant where Madam Du was.
After Du Meilan finished giving instructions on the aftermath, she asked the butler to find her stomach medicine and send it to her room.
The butler did not notice anything unusual about Madam the entire night. Now that she said that she had a stomach ache, he was very anxious. “I’ll go and look for it immediately.”
Thinking that Madam’s stomach might be hurting because she drank too much, she asked, “do you want to make some bird’s nest porridge for you first?”
Du Meilan didn’t have much of an appetite. She smiled lightly. “Just look for the medicine.”
“Yes”
After the housekeeper left, Du Meilan turned around and bumped into a person who was standing at the refrigerator and looking at her from a distance of about five meters. His eyes were floating and his expression was difficult to understand.
“Wang Yi?” His figure was in the back of the light. Du Meilan tilted her head slightly and spoke uncertainly.
“Actually,” Wang Yi lowered his head and looked up a few seconds later. “Su Ji was just joking.”
He spoke without any context. Du Meilan could only confirm that it was him through his voice. “What are you talking about?”
She walked towards him. When the distance between the two of them shortened to about three meters, Wang Yi spoke again. “I am waiting for someone.”
Du Meilan stopped.
Wang Yi said, “but it’s not Madam Xu…”
He had wanted to say more under the influence of alcohol, but when Du Meilan called him just now, that damn alcohol had already disappeared.
He clenched his jaw, and then just as Du Meilan was about to walk towards him again, he turned around and ran away.
He fled in panic.
Du Meilan stopped in her tracks and stood still.
Until the butler returned with the stomach medicine and water. “Madam, I have the medicine.”
Du Meilan suddenly came back to her senses.
She turned to look at the housekeeper, who was stunned for a moment before handing her a glass of water. “Madam, the water temperature is just right. Take two tablets at a time.”
Du Meilan looked at the medicine. She didn’t know why, but her stomach pain seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
“I’m okay now,” she said.
The housekeeper: “?”
Du Meilan smiled. “Did you say that there’s bird’s nest porridge? Please send it to my room.”
The butler replied, “ah”
He did not know if it was his imagination, but in that short amount of time, the Madam’s complexion had gotten better?
