"Sister Yan, are you full?!" Seeing Ning Ruyan put down her chopsticks, assistant Xiaoyi quickly stood up and handed her a cup of warm water as Ning Ruyan usually did.
Ning Ruyan took it.
There was a knock on the VIP door.
The next second, a crew member's voice came from outside the door: "Sister Yan, Director Da said that the shooting will start twenty minutes early. Please go to the set as soon as possible."
Ning Ruyan stood up and walked slowly towards the door.
Jin Li hurriedly followed, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "Yan Yan, she's just a four-year-old child, still wet behind the ears, nothing to be afraid of. Don't take the news just received from the Imperial Mansion to heart. She's just a servant, how much can she know about the specific situation?! Even if President Pei likes the child to death and immediately wants to support the child as the legitimate heir of the Pei family, so what?! As the saying goes: there is a long way to go. As long as you hold on to President Pei, the mistress of the Pei family will be yours sooner or later. As for President Pei agreeing to let Ji Yuqi stay overnight at the Imperial Mansion, it's probably because of the child. Don't worry, with President Pei's temper, accepting a child is already the limit. He will definitely not agree to Ji Yuqi marrying into the Pei family as the maid overheard. You..."
Unexpectedly, before Jin Li could finish her words, Ning Ruyan, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned around. Normally, she was seen as cold and arrogant, but now her face was filled with a fierce and ferocious expression. "Would I, Ning Ruyan, allow Ji Yuqi to use a child to take away everything that belonged to me?! This time, it was my negligence that allowed her and that illegitimate child to take advantage. I admit defeat. Next time, I will not give her a single chance to breathe. As for that child, do you think I'm the kind of person who would casually allow him to prance around in front of me and cause me trouble?! In the Pei family, it's either him or me!!!"
She will never allow him to live! ! ! !
…
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Pei Yucheng returned to the Yu Mansion.
Reeking of alcohol.
"Young Master."
The maid standing at the door saw him staggering and instinctively stepped forward to support him.
However, he was stopped by Pei Yucheng's sharp gaze.
The pretty maid, with her rosy little face, turned pale with fright.
After entering the door, Pei Yucheng loosened his tie with one hand and threw his coat on the maid with the other hand. He walked straight to the stairs without even changing his slippers.
I habitually go to the master bedroom on the third floor.
He was almost at the door when his dizzy brain finally realized belatedly that Ji Yuqi was in his room.
He paused slightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he wanted to go back.
But before he could turn around, the door of the bedroom on the third floor was suddenly opened from the inside.
Pei Yucheng's back suddenly became stiff.
Raising his eyes slightly, Pei Yucheng saw two maids coming out carrying trays of food.
Liu Tong was giving orders in the kitchen.
Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year. According to the Pei family's rules, there will be guests coming to the house.
He was meticulously checking the variety and freshness of the ingredients needed for tomorrow.
The maid reported: The young master drank a lot of wine.
He hurried upstairs to take care of it as quickly as possible.
But when he saw Pei Yucheng standing in the long corridor on the third floor with two maids standing in front of him with their heads lowered, his brows immediately furrowed deeply.
He thought that the two maids were not smart enough and had offended Pei Yucheng.
As he hurried over, Liu Tong heard the maid's cautious report: "Xiao Wen and I have searched the mansion for a long time, but we haven't seen Miss Ji. She was still in her room when I brought her chicken soup at 3 o'clock in the afternoon."
There were two maids, one carrying untouched food and the other carrying untouched medicine.
Liu Tong's gaze fell on the plate where the medicine was placed, and on the bank card with the Pei family's logo printed on it, with a folded piece of paper underneath.
Liu Tong couldn't help but frown.
Whenever Pei Yucheng travels, Xu Ze always follows him.
Even if Xu Ze is not here, at least Tang Ye will be there.
In other words: Pei Yucheng never carries money with him.
Not to mention bank cards.
So, what is this bank card that belongs exclusively to the Pei family?!
Liu Tong looked at Pei Yucheng.
Liu Tong noticed that Pei Yucheng's gaze was fixed on the plate where the bank card was, as if he was looking at the piece of paper underneath the bank card. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took out the paper.
He thought it was a letter Ji Yuqi left for Pei Yucheng, telling her the reason for leaving the house.
Who knew that when he unfolded it, he found that it was actually an IOU.
Not only was there Ji Yuqi's signature on it, but there was also a bright red fingerprint.
I glanced at the amount of debt, 88,000.
Liu Tong's brows were instantly furrowed to the tightest point.
This relationship is really clear.
"Young Master, what Miss Ji wrote was an IOU..." Liu Tong wanted to ask Pei Yucheng how to deal with it.
When I looked up, I found that Pei Yucheng's eyes were still on the plate where the medicine was placed.
Liu Tong was a little confused.
I don’t understand what Pei Yucheng is looking at.
He thought Pei Yucheng was looking at the untouched medicines.
However, after following Pei Yucheng's line of sight and looking back and forth several times, Liu Tong realized that Pei Yucheng was looking at the electronic thermometer placed next to the medicine.
The temperature numbers displayed on the display are a little small, but they are extremely clear.
39.4 degrees Celsius.
Liu Tong frowned again.
After a while, Liu Tong asked cautiously: "Master, do you need me to send someone to find Miss Ji?!"
Li Yun said last night that if the high fever doesn't go away after 24 hours, you must go to the hospital for an IV drip.
Otherwise, if you delay, the condition will get worse.
The fever has reached 39.4 degrees.
Although Liu Tong didn't understand when the temperature was measured, Ji Yuqi didn't even take medicine, so his body temperature was naturally out of control.
Just as Liu Tong was about to reach for his phone in his pocket and order the garage to send a car, Pei Yucheng's extremely cold voice suddenly rang out: "The person is not dead, what are you looking for?"
After saying this, Pei Yucheng went straight into the room.
Liu Tong and the two maids stood there in a daze.
Pei Yucheng's voice was as cold as ever.
There was nothing unusual.
However, the speed of entering the room was too fast.
Carrying an inexplicable anger.
Liu Tong was just about to signal the maid to leave and ask the kitchen to bring up some hangover soup when Pei Yucheng suddenly stormed out of the room, furious, and roared, "Why haven't you changed the bedding?! Liu Tong, send someone to disinfect the room immediately."
