Chapter 228 Anchoring Halfway
Twenty minutes later.
Ye Mingya returned to Old Lady Ye's bedroom.
And Old Lady Ye had changed into new clothes, washed her face, combed her hair, and put on a mask.
The two quietly left the Ye family from the back, took a taxi, and went straight to Tongnan No. 8 Courtyard.
Pei Qizhong drove the car and kept a certain distance behind the taxi.
Ye Mingya and Old Lady Ye were both worried, and neither of them noticed that they were being followed.
The taxi suddenly stopped.
Ye Mingya asked unhappily: "Why didn't the driver leave? We are in a hurry to get on the road."
The driver cried and replied: "The car has a problem and can't be driven. I don't want to. What should I do if it stops halfway?"
He got out of the car and opened the hood to check the cause of the accident.
Then he got in the car again, and the engine couldn't start.
"Damn! The car is broken!" The taxi driver hit the steering wheel with his fist and cursed angrily.
Ye Mingya was even more annoyed when she heard it. She asked back unhappily: "What should we do now? There is no village or shop on this road."
The taxi driver turned around and begged for mercy: "Sister, please let me go. I am unlucky. I don't want the fare. I will see if I can stop a car for you to Tongnan. Hey, this is the first time I encounter such a thing. It's really frustrating."
He got out of the car and stood on the side of the road, waving his hands continuously, signaling the cars in the same direction to stop.
But no car stopped at all.
Pei Qizhong drove over at a slow speed.
The taxi driver also waved at him to stop.
Pei Qizhong parked the car on the side of the road and asked loudly: "Brother, what are you asking me to stop the car for?"
Ye Mingya heard the voice and felt it was familiar, so she leaned out to see, and saw Pei Qizhong also leaning out to ask, and immediately didn't care about much, and shouted excitedly: "Aren't you Pei Zhiwan's bodyguard?"
Pei Qizhong turned his head to look at her, and after a while he said: "I know about the treatment of Madam Ye, you are the one who messed up, right?"
Ye Mingya heard this, and immediately black line.
But she still forced herself to suppress her unhappy mood and shouted loudly: "That's a misunderstanding, I took my grandmother to Tongnan for medical treatment today, and the car broke down. Where are you going? Can you take us a ride? I'll pay for the car and gas."
The taxi driver also said good things beside him.
Pei Qizhong stopped the car and saw that it was indeed Old Madam Ye sitting in the car. This time he readily agreed: "Okay, get in my car."
Ye Mingya helped Old Madam Ye get into Pei Qizhong's car.
"I remember Pei Zhiwan called you Ah Zhong, right? Where are you going?"
Pei Qizhong replied: "I'm going to Tongnan."
Ye Mingya smiled happily and said: "Great, we are also going to Tongnan, it's just on the way, thank you."
Pei Qizhong replied indifferently: "Don't thank me, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for Old Madam Ye. My eldest daughter is treating Old Madam Ye, you seem..."
"Ahem... that's a misunderstanding, Ah Zhong, your eldest daughter is in Tongnan?" Ye Mingya didn't want to mention the fact that Pei Zhiwan treated her grandmother that day. She was indeed embarrassed, and her grandmother might not know about it because she was unconscious at the time, and she didn't want her to know.
Lest she regret it again, he won't take her to find the person who cast the curse.
In fact, how could she know that Old Lady Ye knew everything.
Pei Qizhong didn't give a clear answer, but just said vaguely: "I went to Tongnan to do some work, to prepare for the opening of the clothing factory."
Ye Mingya thought for a while and asked: "Does your Pei family still have a clothing factory? Did you buy the clothing factory at a low price a few days ago?"
Pei Qizhong looked in the rearview mirror and said lightly: "You seem to be very concerned about the Pei family. You know all this?"
An ambiguous smile flashed across Ye Mingya's face.
Of course she was concerned.
Pei Zhiwan is her rival in love, and now he is pestering Di Chen every day.
If she doesn't work harder, Di Chen will be snatched away by her.
Since she was a child, she has regarded Di Chen as her future husband. How could she let someone else snatch him away?
"It just so happens that I know the owner of that clothing factory. I've worked with the Ye family before, so I know."
"Is your Ye family very powerful? Can it compare to the Di family and the Fu family?" Pei Qizhong asked back with some disdain.
It was obvious that he was emotional, and Ye Mingya naturally heard it.
Now that she was in his car, it was naturally not easy to confront him.
She thought for a while and said, "I don't know whether the Ye family is powerful or not, but let me tell you this, the Ye family is one of the four major families in the imperial capital. Although it can't compare to the Fu family and the Di family, it's still okay. Ah Zhong, if you have any problems in the future, just ask, and I will help you."
Ye Mingya could see that Ah Zhong was very good at kung fu, and she wanted to recruit him to her side.
Pei Qizhong smiled helplessly: "No wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out you rely on the power of your family."
After saying that, he snorted disdainfully, and added: "I admire my eldest daughter the most. Although the Pei family is not counted in Tongnan and is just a middle-class family, our eldest daughter relied on her own ability to gain a foothold in the imperial capital in a short period of time."
"Not only did she help our father regain the status of the head of the Pei family, but she was also very successful in the business world. She obtained the development rights for the land in the north of the city, bought the Lin jewelry company and the clothing company, and now has the Pei family's own headquarters building in the extremely expensive business circle of the imperial capital, and so on. No wonder our old lady Pei always praises the eldest daughter as the lucky star of our Pei family."
Pei Qizhong was very excited when he said this.
Ye Mingya frowned when she heard this.
But she didn't dare to ask Pei Qizhong to shut up, for fear that he would kick them out of the car, which would be a disaster.
She repeatedly warned herself that a little impatience would lead to big plans.
The hands in her pockets were clenched into fists.
Old Madam Ye had been leaning on her back, closing her eyes and resting her mind. Naturally, she would not listen to those words, which had nothing to do with her.
But she still heard about the Pei family taking back the status of the head of the Pei family, and about Old Madam Pei.
She finally couldn't help but ask, "Young man, did you say that the Tongnan Pei family took back the status of the head of the Pei family?"
Madam Ye hardly spoke for a long time. Her voice was hoarse and sounded like it came from hell.
Pei Qizhong turned his head to look at her in surprise and asked tentatively, "Madam, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? I can drive slower."
Ye Mingya also turned her head to look at her grandmother in surprise. She actually took the initiative to speak.
Madam Ye shook her head slightly and replied, "No, I'm fine."
Pei Qizhong nodded, and then replied happily, "Madam Ye, yes, our grandfather Pei Zhensheng is now the head of the Pei family in the imperial capital. According to our eldest lady, the great-grandfather of the original head of the Pei family took the position of head of our great-grandfather. Now it has been taken back with the efforts of our eldest lady, and the old Pei family house has also been moved in."
