Chapter 181: A Secret Date
"Why are you wearing a scarf at home? Isn't it stuffy?" Xu Rongyu asked casually as she sat on the living room sofa looking at her computer and caught a glimpse of Xu Yihuan out of the corner of her eye.
Xu Yihuan's hand trembled as she poured the water, and she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Yesterday, no matter how much I pleaded, I couldn't stop Tan Zhixu from biting me and leaving a few marks on my body. Although the marks weren't very obvious, they were hard to erase.
Xu Yihuan coughed lightly twice, trying to make her voice sound natural.
"It looks great! Don't you think it makes me seem like I have really good taste?"
Xu Rongyu didn't even look up, casually replying, "Beautiful, beautiful, stunningly gorgeous."
Although Xu Yihuan was dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xu Rongyu was not paying attention to her.
Before she could even catch her breath, Xu Rongyu asked again, "Did you know that Pei Yuli was injured?"
Xu Yihuan lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty, and spoke very coldly.
"If you're injured, go see a doctor. What's the use of telling me?"
Xu Rongyu laughed upon hearing this: "You have a real talent for being an emperor."
Xu Yihuan wasn't amused; her lowered gaze darted left and right.
Since she was the one who got injured, even if it wasn't Xi Yubai who was injured, but someone else, she should at least show some humanitarian concern.
But I haven't visited him since I was discharged from the hospital...
Xu Yihuan felt that she had been a little too unfair.
Xu Rongyu had just finished replying to an email when she looked up and saw Xu Yihuan's expression.
He immediately realized that Xu Yihuan was all talk and no action.
He said, "When you have time, please go and see him for me. I've already left the supplements at the door, so please take them with you when you go."
Xu Yihuan glanced subconsciously at the doorway and saw a pile of tonics. If she remembered correctly, Pei Yanzhi, as a partner, had brought these tonics for Xu Rongyu to help her recover.
Xu Yihuan's lips twitched, and she took the opportunity to say, "Okay, I'll go in a couple of days."
Although it's currently the May Day holiday, workers don't get a five-day break.
The project is progressing quickly, with workers working overtime even on holidays. She and Jiang Jinnan are also planning to take turns supervising the construction site these days.
Today was her first day at work, and she went there with Jiang Jinan. There was also the issue of the land next door; besides the bidding documents, they needed to start building relationships gradually…
Jiang Jinnan only mentioned it briefly at the time, and then never brought it up again, so no one knows what happened in the end.
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips, walked to a quiet place, and made a phone call to Jiang Jinnan.
I dialed the number several times but no one answered, and the phone automatically went to busy.
A bad feeling crept into Xu Yihuan's heart.
Jiang Jinnan has never delayed dealing with these matters.
Why would they not answer the phone?
Xu Yihuan was puzzled, but she decided to go and keep an eye on the construction site herself.
We'll discuss it with Jiang Jinnan when we get back.
"Dad, I'm going out for a bit."
"be safe."
Before leaving, Xu Yihuan remembered what Tan Zhixu had said.
If you need to go anywhere, just ask him to come along. Although Xu Yihuan didn't take it seriously, she still inexplicably dialed Tan Zhixu's number.
Power off...
Xu Yihuan frowned, but seeing that it was already very late and it would be dark again if she was late, she didn't think too much about it, changed her clothes and set off.
...
Inside the Pei family study at a mountain villa.
Pei Yanzhi sat opposite Old Master Pei.
“The hypnotist has been found; he’s still in Nancheng,” Pei Yanzhi said earnestly.
"Bring them back." Old Master Pei held two shiny walnuts in his hands, his eyes closed, speaking calmly and confidently.
"It's a bit troublesome. That hypnotist seems to have some connections with the Nancheng government. I doubt Nancheng will release him." Pei Yanzhi pursed his lips, his words tinged with hesitation.
"Then let's use some tricks. Do I have to teach you these things?" The Pei family only made their fortune in the capital later, and in the early days they were ruthless. This is really going back to their old ways.
Old Master Pei's tone deepened, and he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze towards Pei Yanzhi filled with a sense of oppression.
Pei Yanzhi immediately lowered his head.
"Okay, I understand."
Only then did Old Master Pei close his eyes in satisfaction.
"And your brother, if I remember correctly, he also studies in this area. If you can't find this hypnotist, you can ask Ali and the others."
When Pei Yuli wanted to study this major, he was 100% against it, but there was nothing he could do. Pei Yi'an was willing to stay at home on the condition that Pei Yuli could do whatever he wanted.
Pei Yi'an was stubborn, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Grandpa Pei paused for a moment, never expecting that his major would come in handy in this way.
Pei Yanzhi's eyes flickered slightly. After replying with an "okay," he walked out of the study.
At the doorway, a figure disappeared around the corner.
Pei Yutang hurriedly ran from the study door to her room upstairs.
My heart was pounding with nervousness.
It wasn't until I entered the room and closed the door that the pounding in my chest finally calmed down.
South City...
A ruthless glint flashed in Pei Yutang's eyes. If she couldn't bring him back, what if he accidentally fell to his death?
Pei Yutang thought for a moment and then made a phone call.
...
The heavy rains of the past few days have long since ended, and now the sky is clear and the air is crisp.
Xu Yihuan took a car to the construction site, and it was Engineer Zhang who picked her up.
"Miss Xu, you've arrived too."
Xu Yihuan nodded, finding the words a bit strange, but didn't ask anything.
Engineer Zhang took Xu Yihuan on a trip back to the old place.
Compared to a while ago, the scaffolding here has been erected higher and higher, and it's becoming more and more stable.
As they walked, they arrived at the place where Xu Yihuan had almost been injured.
Xu Yihuan subconsciously stopped and looked up.
The conversation abruptly interrupted Zhang's explanation: "Where is the worker who caused the steel bar to fall down because it wasn't properly secured?"
Zhang Gong was stunned, thinking that Xu Yihuan was going to hold him accountable later.
"He seemed to be a temporary worker; he hasn't worked here since that day."
"Ms. Xu, please wait a moment while I ask the supervisor in charge of this area."
Xu Yihuan was puzzled, but she was unwilling to make a big fuss.
It's common for construction sites to use temporary workers, so it's not surprising that they suddenly leave.
He shook his head: "Never mind, I was just asking."
Xu Yihuan walked around for a long time, and the foreman, seeing that it was almost done, was about to lead Xu Yihuan to rest.
"It's lunchtime now, Miss Xu, why don't you go and rest for a bit? We've prepared a lounge here."
Xu Yihuan nodded. She had walked quite a distance on the construction site and was already very tired.
"Let's go."
Xu Yihuan followed the foreman to the rest room.
At that moment, two familiar faces were sitting in the lounge.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Jiang Jinnan and Tan Zhixu.
So the reason they both tacitly didn't answer my calls was because they were secretly going on a date together?
Seeing Jiang Jinnan and Tan Zhixu sitting together in a rare harmonious way, Xu Yihuan's sixth sense told her that something was not quite right.
Just as Zhang was about to call out to the two of them, Xu Yihuan raised her hand to interrupt him.
