Chapter 191 People from the Pei Family Are Also Here
"Brother, the Ji family has rarely come out to interact with others during this period. If you want to see that woman, you can come and visit."
Zhao Ranbei couldn't help but speak. He was curious about what that woman looked like and what kind of magic she had that could make her usually calm brother lose his composure like this.
"It can only be like this." Zhao Yuanzhao sighed helplessly, his face full of fatigue and helplessness.
It's already so late, it would be inappropriate to go and disturb you. I can only be patient and wait for the right opportunity.
The next morning, the morning light shone gently onto Zhao Yuanzhao's face through the cracks in the window.
He got up from the bed early, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation. Last night, when he thought about going to the Ji family today to see the person he had been thinking about, he was so excited that he tossed and turned, and almost didn't sleep all night. At this moment, he quickly washed up and began to prepare the gifts needed for visiting the Ji family.
Zhao Ranbei got up in a daze and planned to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
When he walked into the living room sleepily and saw all kinds of gifts piled in front of his eldest brother, he woke up instantly.
His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"Brother, are you crazy? It's only six in the morning. How did you prepare so many things so early in the morning?" He opened his mouth in surprise, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees because of shock.
Zhao Ranbei had never seen his elder brother act so crazy before. In his impression, his elder brother had always been calm and steady. The contrast at this moment really made him feel a little overwhelmed.
When Zhao Yuanzhao heard his brother's voice, he came back to his senses and glanced at the time. As expected, it was just past six o'clock.
He was originally full of anxiety, always feeling that time was passing too slowly, and wanted to rush to Ji's house immediately, but he did not expect that everything would be ready so early.
"I'm a little excited." He smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, but his eyes were still shining with irrepressible excitement.
When he thought about meeting the person who had been haunting him, his heart started beating like a deer.
Zhao Ranbei shook his head helplessly, feeling both amused and helpless about his elder brother's behavior.
He turned back to his room, changed his clothes, and waited with his eldest brother.
To Zhao Yuanzhao, these two hours seemed longer than a year.
He looked at the clock from time to time and paced back and forth in the living room, looking forward to the time of departure.
Finally, the clock pointed to eight o'clock, and the two brothers set out from home.
Along the way, Zhao Yuanzhao kept his eyes fixed on the car window, his body slightly leaning forward, as if this would make the car go faster.
However, when the two arrived at Ji's house, they found that there were other people here.
Zhao Ranbei saw the man standing at the door at a glance, his face froze for a moment, and he said in surprise: "Aren't you the housekeeper of the Pei family? Pei Sihuai is here too?"
His eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't understand why the Pei family's housekeeper appeared in front of the Ji family's door.
"Our master danced with Miss Ji yesterday, so we want to invite her to sit at Pei's house today."
Pei family's housekeeper explained with a smile on his face, neither servile nor arrogant.
"Your Mr. Pei is already engaged to the second daughter of the Long family, why is he still flirting with other girls?" Zhao Yuanzhao said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.
His tone was full of dissatisfaction and anger, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
Zhao Ranbei's face froze, he was startled by his elder brother's sudden and explosive words.
My eldest brother usually has a good relationship with Pei Sihuai. What happened today? Why is he so rude?
"I'm sorry, my brother didn't get enough rest yesterday. Please don't mind." Zhao Ranbei hurriedly tried to smooth things over, with an apologetic smile on his face.
After saying that, he quickly reached out and pulled his eldest brother aside.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten that you and Pei Sihuai have a good relationship?"
Zhao Ranbei whispered anxiously, his brows tightly knitted together, his eyes full of worry, fearing that his elder brother's impulsive behavior would damage his relationship with Pei Sihuai.
Zhao Yuanzhao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.
At this moment, in his heart, it seemed that as long as it involved the person he liked, the brotherly relationship with Pei Sihuai in the past instantly became insignificant. His eyes were fixed on the door of the Ji family, as if he wanted to see Li Ruochu in the house through this door. The persistence and determination in his eyes could not be ignored.
Li Mingzhu stood at the door, secretly surprised. She just asked Li Ruchu to attend a dance party, but how could it attract people from two families to come to her house?
She narrowed her eyes slightly and thought to herself. Although she didn't know what the purpose of Zhao Yuanzhao and the Pei family's housekeeper was, she knew very well that she must not let Li Ruchu follow them.
A faint smile appeared on Li Mingzhu's face. The smile seemed gentle, but it carried a hint of unquestionable determination.
She looked at Zhao Yuanzhao and the Pei family housekeeper and said slowly, "I'm sorry, my daughter Wuyou fell ill when she came back yesterday, and she is still lying weakly in bed. I have to take her to the hospital later, so I'm afraid I can't let my daughter go with you."
As she spoke, she sighed slightly, her eyes revealing a genuine look of worry about her daughter's condition.
When Zhao Yuanzhao heard that Li Ruchu was sick, his originally tense face suddenly froze and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Without even thinking twice, he said, "Mrs. Ji, our Zhao family's family doctor is very good and has a lot of experience in this area. If you don't mind, I can call him here right away."
As he spoke, he was already reaching out for his cell phone to call a doctor. He looked so anxious as if he was the one who was sick.
At this moment, Zhao Yuanzhao would not leave easily no matter what.
In his heart, he must see with his own eyes whether that woman is the one he has been thinking about. Even if there is only a slight possibility, he does not want to miss it.
Li Mingzhu frowned tightly. She looked at Zhao Yuanzhao's anxious and somewhat out-of-control face, and knew in her heart that this man might have something important to do.
However, she knew that Li Ruochu's identity was special and the things involved were complicated.
If Zhao Yuanzhao did something detrimental to Li Ruchu after taking the person away, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So, no matter what, she couldn't agree.
"Mr. Zhao, I think you must have misunderstood," Li Mingzhu shook her head gently, her tone becoming more serious, "My daughter has not appeared in the public eye in recent years, and I have also deliberately kept her away from these complicated social occasions, so I really don't intend to let her come into contact with people like you."
"If it wasn't for a misunderstanding this time, I would never let my daughter go to that dance." Li Mingzhu's words were very clear. She really didn't want Li Ruchu to take risks.
She hoped that Zhao Yuanzhao and the Pei family would understand what she meant. If they still insisted on meeting, it would be really ignorant.
