Xia Chujian: “…”
This young master...
She is really hard to describe.
But she was still very clear-headed and knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
She is now paying for the "lunch" she once had for free.
Xia Chujian nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll change my clothes and come over. Which building do you live in?"
Zong Ruoan said, "I'll have someone drive over to pick you up."
Well, I have to drive to pick me up at home. This manor is really huge.
No wonder the Quan family’s house is called the “big” one.
Xia Chujian returned to the bedroom upstairs and put on Shao Siming's black and silver mecha inside his clothes as usual, and put on the military uniform he had taken out after taking a shower.
Fortunately, the temperature here at night is very pleasant, only about 20 degrees.
She was wearing a neat military uniform and didn't feel hot at all.
…
Xia Chujian walked down the stairs, got into the car sent by Zong Ruoan to pick her up, and drove towards the villa where Zong Ruoan lived.
At this time, Quan's staff had already reported to Quan Caiwei that Zong Ruoan had sent a car to pick up Xia Chujian.
Quan Caiwei slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so she was watching a TV series in bed.
After hearing the news, he sighed, got up from the bed, changed his clothes, and planned to go to Zong Ruoan's residence to accompany Xia Chujian.
It's so late, and I'm the master. It's not right or proper for me to let Xia Chujian go to see Zong Ruoan alone late at night.
But when she pushed open the bedroom door and walked a few steps, she saw someone standing sideways at the bay window at the end of the corridor, smoking.
It was her eldest cousin Quan Yuxun.
"Brother, aren't you asleep?" Quan Caiwei asked in surprise.
Quan Yuxun flicked the cigarette ash with his fingers and said with a smile, "I've already slept. I'll get up and have a cigarette before going back to sleep."
Quan Caiwei made a speechless expression and said, "Take your time, I'll go out for a while."
"It's so late, why are you going out?" Quan Yuxun asked politely, fulfilling his duties as the eldest brother.
These words really opened up Quan Caiwei's chatterbox.
She complained, "Brother, it's so late now. Can't we wait until tomorrow to discuss any urgent matters? Especially since everyone else is already very sleepy, yet our Young Master still calls us in to talk in the middle of the night."
Quan Caiwei could see that Xia Chujian was very sleepy, and she really wanted Xia Chujian to sleep.
Although she had slept too much during the day and was indeed not sleepy, she had just gotten off a star fighter plane, which was said to have flown for twelve hours. Wouldn't she be sleepy?
Quan Yuxun knew that Zong Ruoan was coming today, and it was he who secretly suggested to his grandfather that Quan Caiwei represent the Quan family to go to the interstellar terminal to pick him up.
So he thought Quan Caiwei meant that she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but had to go see Zong Ruoan.
Quan Yuxun blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "Zong Ruoan? He's a little self-centered. Okay, go to sleep. I'll go talk to him."
Then, as if remembering something, he said meaningfully, "Unless, Caiwei, you really want to go and talk to him?"
Quan Caiwei waved her hands hurriedly: "Brother, please don't hurt me! Zong Shao and I are just ordinary friends, and besides, he is really not my cup of tea."
"Besides, he didn't want me to talk to him. He wanted Xia Chujian to talk to him."
"It's the dead of night. I can't let a girl like me go there. As the host, I have to accompany her."
Quan Yuxun's hand shook, and dark red cigarette ash fell onto the carefully woven wool carpet.
He thought he had misheard, "Who? Who did you say was going to talk to Zong Ruoan?"
Quan Caiwei patted her forehead and said embarrassedly, "It's all my fault. I spoke incoherently. No wonder Big Brother couldn't understand me."
"This is what happened..."
She recounted what happened today when she went to the interstellar terminal to pick up Zong Ruoan.
Quan Yuxun's heart was filled with turmoil, but he maintained a gentle smile on the surface and said slowly, "So, Xia Chujian is now the chief pilot of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet? And she flew across the asteroid belt between our Zangge and Kanli planets in just twelve hours?"
Quan Caiwei nodded and asked in confusion, "Brother, why are you and Master Zong so concerned about this? Is this speed amazing?"
Quan Yuxun threw away the cigarette in his hand and thought, this is not only amazing, it is simply impossible!
But since it happened to Xia Chujian, Quan Yuxun felt that it was still possible...
Because this seemingly ordinary girl is the best at turning the impossible into possible.
His mind raced, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll go with you to meet Master Zong and see if he needs anything, and show my hospitality."
Quan Caiwei's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself, you didn't look like you were going to play the role of a good host just now.
Moreover, it was obviously the eldest cousin who should have gone to pick up Zong Ruoan today, but he advised in front of grandfather that he should go instead. Did he think she didn't know?
