In the spacious kitchen, Ji Yuqi stood in front of the cooking table with his brows lowered, helping Ji Niancheng make tomato beef pasta.
This is Ji Niancheng's favorite pasta.
When in Country M, as long as Ji Niancheng wasn't filming outside, and if he had a good appetite, Ji Yuqi would cook for him twice a week. Ji Yuqi was so skilled at making tomato beef pasta that she didn't even need to think about it. In other words, she could probably make it with her eyes closed.
However, at this moment, she made many mistakes with the tomato beef pasta, which was obviously very simple and not complicated at all.
Either the noodles were cooked hard or the sauce was overcooked.
I cooked several pots over and over again.
When Ji Yuqi finished cooking the pasta, he glanced at the kitchen clock and found that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Today, the dinner time at Pei's residence is 6:30 pm.
Dinner will be served soon.
Ji Yuqi was immediately a little troubled.
Hesitating whether to give Ji Niancheng pasta.
If he ate dinner, Ji Niancheng would definitely not be able to eat it.
However, sitting at the table without moving your chopsticks while eating is considered very impolite and is highly taboo in the chaebol circle.
However, Ji Yuqi still served the pasta.
She thought of letting Ji Niancheng eat a few bites to satisfy his craving.
However, when Ji Yuqi just stepped out of the kitchen door when he went out, he was shocked to find that in the hall, dozens of maids were cleaning quickly and efficiently, and the housekeeper of Pei's residence was giving orders seriously, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
It's already the beginning of spring.
The sky has become noticeably longer, but it hasn't gotten dark yet.
Ji Yuqi glanced inadvertently outside the house. There were layers of Pei family guards, at least three times the number as usual. They were vigilantly observing the movements around them.
Ji Yuqi couldn't help but be frightened by this scene.
You should know that Pei Mansion, as the ancestral home of the Pei family, has the Pei family’s most powerful intelligent defense system.
There will be no shortage of guards, though.
However, there is no need to mobilize so many people.
His mind couldn't help but think of Pei Yucheng's hasty departure from the mansion. Ji Yuqi immediately walked quickly to the butler of Pei's residence, carrying the spaghetti, and asked in a low voice, "Butler, has something serious happened?!"
Otherwise, Pei Yucheng would not have left the house rashly.
When the Pei residence’s steward saw Ji Yuqi, he first relaxed his furrowed brows and replied respectfully, “Madam, it’s the Pei family’s chief steward who will be back soon.”
"The chief steward of the Pei family?!" Ji Yuqi was inevitably surprised.
The Pei residence's steward explained, "He's the chief steward who oversees all twenty-four departments of the Pei clan and has a certain degree of command over the Pei clan's secret guards."
"..." Ji Yuqi listened silently. While his brain was still analyzing the identity of the "chief steward" in the Pei family and the power he possessed, the voice of the Pei residence's steward came again, "By the way, Madam, the master just told me to tell you to go back to your room and dress up, and then bring the young master downstairs to greet the chief steward. Hurry, the chief steward has already entered the territory of Jingcheng, and the convoy will arrive at the Pei residence soon."
Ji Yuqi hurried upstairs.
As he walked up the stairs, he looked back at the bustling hall and became curious about the chief steward of the Pei family.
However, curiosity seemed to be mixed with a vague uneasiness.
I feel that the appearance of this person will cause a bloody storm.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Ji Yuqi put on exquisite makeup and when she went downstairs with Ji Niancheng, she saw Pei Quyan and Pei Huaijin standing at the gate of the main hall in formal attire.
Not only that, even the old lady of the Pei family came out to greet them personally.
The servants behind him stood in a neat row, forming a large black mass.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuqi's slender eyebrows were immediately knitted to the tightest.
Just how arrogant was the Pei Family's chief steward, to the point where he could be welcomed by both the Pei Family Buddha and the former master?!
In Ji Yuqi's understanding, in the chaebol circle, no matter how high the family status of the butler is, he is ultimately a slave.
And, a mere slave, actually...
