Ji Yuqi stayed in the hospital for ten days.
It was March 2nd when Dr. Zhou approved my discharge from the hospital.
Pei Yucheng took her back to the imperial capital on March 5th.
Early spring, a time of year when the weather is still cold. Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly, but just overnight, a cold front swept through. Today, Jingcheng is filled with a thick, dense white mist, making it feel like deep winter, freezing to the bone.
The main gate of the main hall of Pei Mansion.
The old lady of the Pei family was leaning on a cane, directing the Pei residence's housekeeper to have the servants carry the items box by box into the black convoy.
Pei Yucheng finished a 33-minute emergency call and returned to the main hall door from the side garden. He saw servants in uniform still stuffing things into the trunk of the convoy. His handsome sword-like eyebrows immediately frowned deeply.
He first raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.
At this moment, it is already 9:45 in the morning.
And, at eight o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper of the Pei residence had clearly already sent servants to begin preparing the convoy to leave Jing, yet, after a full hour and forty-five minutes, they still hadn't even finished loading the items?!
If it is a valuable necessity, it is better to order it.
But what the butler of the Pei residence had the servants carry into the motorcade were all kinds of snacks.
Pei Yucheng frowned as tight as possible, expressing his displeasure.
He had an urgent international video conference to hold at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lateness and absence are strictly prohibited.
Therefore, without giving it much thought, Pei Yucheng raised his hand and called the Pei residence's housekeeper over: "There's no need to bring up those small items. Conduct a safety check immediately. The convoy will start in ten minutes."
But just as he finished speaking, the old lady of the Pei family's fierce voice came over him: "Why don't you serve it again?! You don't like those dried fruits, canned fruits, and peach blossom cakes, but Qiqi does. These are specially provided by the Pei Mansion and can't be eaten in other houses of the Pei family."
"If she likes, you can ask the Pei family to send another convoy to the Yu Mansion. Grandma, I'm really in a hurry today." Pei Yucheng lowered his eyes again and looked at his watch.
The old lady of the Pei family didn't care what he was rushing about. She still insisted that the Pei residence's housekeeper stuff all the remaining snacks into the car. "That was your negligence. It has nothing to do with us. You knew that picking up Qiqi back to the capital today would inevitably delay us. Why didn't you ask your assistant to change the itinerary? Instead of squeezing in and making things difficult for me?!"
“…” Pei Yucheng.
"Is the trunk of the convoy full of space?!" The old lady of the Pei family completely ignored how ugly Pei Yucheng's face was. Seeing that the trunk of the convoy was not enough, she simply asked the housekeeper of the Pei residence to go to the garage to transfer two black cars.
“…” Pei Yucheng.
Ji Yuqi had been standing at the gate of the main hall very early.
Seeing Pei Yucheng's bad face, he hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Master Buddha, there are enough snacks, no need to take more, I can't eat it all by myself."
But the old lady from the Pei family said, "I didn't ask you to eat alone."
"???" Ji Yuqi was confused. If she wasn't allowed to eat alone, then who else would eat?!
The old lady from the Pei family said, "Didn't you say last night that your bestie introduced you to a film crew and that you were going to audition with the director tomorrow?! Perfect! We can share all these canned fruits and other things."
At this point, the old lady of the Pei family suddenly paused. "Qianqi, I'm not questioning your ability. Rather, in today's world, 'those with connections are invincible.' How can you, alone, compete with those who bring in funding, have backers, and have connections?! Since some people are unwilling to help you, then you can only learn to win over their hearts."
