Chapter 300 Are you going to put me under house arrest?
Butler Zhou stood still without dodging. The lamp hit him on the forehead, and blood immediately gushed out, but he didn't even flinch.
Butler Zhou remained unmoved. "Master, you shouldn't have considered crippling Young Master Wei Jing."
Wei Huaibo understood. His frequent trips to Hong Kong during this period had made that wolf cub feel unbalanced.
After figuring it out, Wei Huaibo suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, this is my retribution! I let the wolf into the house and ruined my own escape route."
Although Steward Zhou now obeys Pei Jingchuan, he still has some master-servant feelings for Wei Huaibo.
Butler Zhou sighed, "Although the young master is not close to you, he is a man of great loyalty and affection at heart. Over the years, he has almost never disobeyed your orders."
Yes, Wei Chizheng never gave him a kind look, but he still cared about him as his father.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to be summoned back with just one phone call, and he would have been willing to go find the boss's illegitimate son who had been living away.
Wei Huaibo finally understood, but it was too late.
He instinctively reached for his phone, but then heard Butler Zhou say, "Are you looking for your phone? Don't bother, it's already been taken away. Also, this room has a signal jammer installed, so from today onwards you can't come and go as you please. I'll arrange for someone to deliver your meals on time."
A sharp glint flashed in Wei Huaibo's eyes. "You're going to put me under house arrest?"
Butler Zhou said, "What are you saying? We're doing this for your health. What you need most right now is rest."
Wei Huaibo saw through it all and understood.
They wanted him to die without anyone noticing. He had been playing with eagles his whole life, but he never expected that at this age, an eagle would peck out his eye.
Wei Huaibo sneered, "Heh, it's all retribution, it's all retribution, hahaha."
Butler Zhou said respectfully, "Master, please take good care of yourself. Just let us know if you need anything. I'll be leaving now."
Wei Huaibo didn't look at him, but instead looked out the window. When he heard the door close, he smashed everything within reach.
Butler Zhou listened outside the door for a while, and in the end could only sigh.
Just as he was about to leave, Jian Yao called out to him, "Butler Zhou, is the old master throwing another tantrum?"
Butler Zhou nodded upon hearing this, "Master is in a bad mood and is also suffering from a serious illness, so it's inevitable that he'll be a bit irritable. Miss Jian, you don't need to pay attention to him, lest it affect the baby in your womb."
Jian Yao placed her hand on her flat stomach. She was still very young and not showing yet, but the doctor said that the baby was in good condition and that she could be born smoothly without any complications.
Jian Yao looked at the tightly closed door with a meaningful expression.
Then, Jian Yao casually asked, "Where's A-Jing?"
Butler Zhou said, "He went to the study."
Jian Yao: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Jian Yao arrogantly walked past Butler Zhou and headed straight for Pei Jingchuan's study.
Now, the Wei family, and even the entire Wei clan, are in Pei Jingchuan's hands. He had just finished a phone call when he heard Jian Yao knocking on the door.
Pei Jingchuan was in a bad mood, and went to open the door with a cigarette dangling from his lips.
He looked down at the woman at the door, seemingly not intending to let her in. "What is it?"
He exhaled a puff of smoke, blowing it all over Jian Yao. Jian Yao slightly flinched and coughed twice. "A Jing, you should smoke less. It's bad for the baby."
Pei Jingchuan sneered, "What's it to you? Who do you think you are? Don't forget how you became Mrs. Wei."
Thinking of this incident, Pei Jingchuan's face darkened.
Such a good opportunity, he was just a little short of being able to marry Xie Nanzhi and rekindle their romance.
It's all because of this woman that everything was ruined.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and the veins on his temples bulged. He took a step forward, his eyes devoid of any affection. "Jian Yao, do you know what kind of person I hate the most in this life? It's someone who threatens me. So, do you think your fate can be any better?"
Jian Yao felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously took a step back, her face turning pale instantly.
But Pei Jingchuan had no intention of letting it go. He casually closed the door and stared at her coldly, "Don't think that just because you've let the media publicize our marriage, you can rest easy. Jian Yao, we have a long future ahead of us."
Jian Yao grabbed his sleeve. "I didn't, A-Jing, it wasn't me, it wasn't me who hired the media to publicize our marriage. You have to believe me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingchuan pushed her away, his thin lips pursed, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and it was chillingly cold. "No matter who it is, you are the beneficiary, and I will hold you accountable for this."
It's laughable that she wants the media to put pressure on him to keep her position as Mrs. Wei.
Jian Yao's face turned completely pale as she stared in disbelief at Pei Jingchuan's departing figure.
She frowned.
Pei Jingchuan never intended for her to be Mrs. Wei, and even though she is now the rightful Mrs. Wei, it's not something he truly acknowledges.
Now that the baby is in her belly, he won't do anything to her.
But what happens after the child is born?
What will this madman do to her?
Given Pei Jingchuan's personality, how could he possibly let her go?
The thought sent chills down Jian Yao's spine.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die; she had to find a way to save her life.
Port City.
Wei Chizheng helped Xie Nanzhi to sit on the sofa in the living room, then turned and went into the kitchen.
I told the housekeeper in advance that I would cook dinner myself and asked them to prepare the necessary ingredients beforehand.
Wei Chizheng took out the prepared ingredients from the refrigerator, cut the beef brisket in the glass container into evenly sized cubes, and peeled the tomatoes, carefully removing even the seeds.
He recalled that Xie Nanzhi once ate tomato beef brisket at a restaurant and complained that it would be perfect if the tomatoes didn't have seeds.
Although it was just a sarcastic remark, Wei Chizheng kept it in mind.
After a long while, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen, mixed with the sweetness of the rice, instantly dispelling her fatigue.
Xie Nanzhi followed the aroma into the kitchen. Before she could say anything, Wei Chizheng asked impatiently, "Wife, are you hungry?"
Wei Chizheng's voice came from the kitchen, carrying a sensual quality reminiscent of everyday life.
Xie Nanzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wei Chizheng wearing an ill-fitting off-white apron. His tall figure looked a little cramped in the small kitchen, but he was carefully stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.
His slender fingers gripped the spatula, his wrist flicking gently, the sizzling sound filled with tenderness.
Xie Nanzhi walked over and gently touched his sleeve, which was free of cooking fumes, with her fingertips. "You've worked hard all day, why bother doing everything yourself?"
Wei Chizheng turned his head, his eyes filled with laughter, his gaze like sticky glutinous rice. "Didn't you say the other day that you missed my cooking? I'm not busy today, so of course I have to satisfy my wife."
As he spoke, he held a piece of freshly cooked food to her lips, saying, "Be careful, it's hot. Try it and see how it tastes."
