Chapter 2125: Sleeping with the Young Master...
At this time, in a winery on the outskirts of Haicheng, Xiao Jun sat by the window, looking at the dark mountains in the distance and the waning moon hanging above the mountaintops.
He suddenly thought of the previous owners of the manor, a free and easy and kind old couple.
After the old man got cancer, the two moved out of the city and bought this manor. However, they didn't expect that after coming here, without worries and with a good environment, the cancer was gradually cured.
A few years ago, their son went abroad to develop, and in the past two years, they had a little grandson. The old couple decided to dispose of their property here and go to live with their son, so that they can also enjoy the family happiness of having their children and grandchildren around.
When they were going through the formalities for transferring the ownership of the manor, the old couple were reluctant to leave. They told Xiao Jun that the garden had good feng shui and could bring people good luck. Many wonderful stories had happened during the years they had lived here, and they also wished him the same good luck.
As it turned out, the good fortune of the previous owner of the manor did not pass on to him.
After he came to this peaceful vineyard, he was also accompanied by his father's suspicion and Uncle Wei's surveillance and calculations.
And before Gu Hanye reminded him, he had already noticed that Uncle Wei was monitoring him.
So this garden is not a peaceful paradise for Xiao Jun.
More like a tomb, a cage.
He was like a puppet emperor, ruling the world but not even having the right to leave the palace.
It feels no different from living in an old house.
Unless all of his father's spies are eliminated, including Uncle Wei, whom he has trusted since he was a child, respected as an elder, and cared for him very much.
No matter how good Uncle Wei is to him, he can no longer stay by his side.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Jun withdrew his gaze from the distant mountains and looked at the old man at the door.
Uncle Wei looked very disheveled because he had been walking on the road for most of the night. His sparse hair looked messy, his old face was covered with dust, his lips were chapped, and his cloudy eyes were red.
Xiao Jun glanced at the luggage in Uncle Wei's hands and asked, "Is everything packed?"
"Master, are you really going to kick me out?" Uncle Wei looked at him with an unwilling, heartbroken look in his eyes. "If I leave, who will take care of you?"
"You can't take care of me forever."
"If it's still because of Miss Su, Master can continue to punish me. Actually, I sent someone back to look for Miss Su that night, but they couldn't find her. I assumed she had already left by car, so I didn't bother with the matter anymore..."
"It's not because of her." Xiao Jun interrupted Uncle Wei coldly.
Every time Uncle Wei explained about leaving Jiuyao hanging on the small road, Xiao Jun felt that Uncle Wei was being more hypocritical and hated him more, so he didn't want to listen.
"Is it because I let the young master take that medicine?" Uncle Wei asked.
Xiao Jun tightened his grip on the armrest of the sofa. Uncle Wei's behavior really disappointed him.
Being plotted against by the person closest to you feels like being punched in the heart. It hurts so much that I can't even make a sound.
"It has nothing to do with this. I know you are doing this for my own good." Xiao Jun said.
"Then why did the young master chase me away? I don't understand."
Xiao Jun turned the ring on his finger and said, "Father has been in poor health recently. I'm worried about others taking care of him."
"But Master, you..."
"I only trust Uncle Wei, and I'm in much better health now and can take care of myself."
Uncle Wei wanted to say something, but Xiao Jun stood up from the sofa and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the gate, and then I'll have some rest too."
Uncle Wei lowered his head, said "Okay", then turned around and walked downstairs silently.
Xiao Jun walked beside Uncle Wei, thinking about what he had just said, and couldn't help but smile at himself.
He finally learned how to lie without changing his expression.
I don’t know if this is the so-called “maturity” that my father expects to see.
Xiao Jun originally wanted to send Uncle Wei to the gate of the manor, but he only sent him to the door of the villa, and Uncle Wei asked him to stop.
Uncle Wei said that the mountain wind was too strong and bitingly cold at night, and since the young master was wearing so little, there was no need to send him off.
So Xiao Jun stopped and watched Uncle Wei leave.
Uncle Wei walked to the gate of the villa. Before getting into the car, he turned around and waved to Xiao Jun, asking him to go back to the house.
Xiao Jun nodded to Uncle Wei, went back into the house and closed the door.
…
Uncle Wei retracted his gaze, opened the car door, and was about to get in when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Uncle!"
He turned around and looked at the girl running towards him.
It was Ruomu, the maid he recruited from the mountain village.
Butler Wei smoothed his messy hair, not wanting to look so awkward in front of others.
"Is there something wrong?" Uncle Wei asked.
Ruomu handed over a canvas bag and said, "Uncle, I heard you were going back to the city. Please take these eggs with you. I just bought them at the market yesterday."
Butler Wei took a look at the eggs in the bag. They were local eggs, each one wrapped in foam and paper.
Uncle Wei laughed and said, "It's not like there's no eggs in the city."
"It's definitely not as delicious as ours, so you can take it with you!"
The girl was very persistent. Uncle Wei sighed and took the canvas bag.
She had never been to the city, so she didn't know that everything could be bought in the city. As long as you had money, local specialties from far away could be delivered to your doorstep.
Moreover, the Xiao family has an organic farm and can be self-sufficient in meat, eggs, and vegetables.
But seeing that this simple country girl had sent the eggs sincerely, Uncle Wei felt that there was no point in saying those things.
"Give me all the eggs, what will the young master eat?"
Ruomu smiled and said, "I saved a few for the young master, so he can eat them until the next gathering."
Uncle Wei nodded and said, "For the money spent on eggs and any other daily necessities you contributed extra to, report it to Xiao Wang, the purchasing manager. I'll reimburse you when you get your salary every month."
Ruomu's job does not include purchasing ingredients, so these eggs and other local specialties sold in the nearby mountains were all bought by her out of her own pocket. She felt that they tasted better than what they purchased, so she highly recommended them.
Seeing that Ajun loved to eat these things, Uncle Wei acquiesced to her behavior.
As for this pocket of fear, it is probably the best parting gift she can think of.
"I'll take the eggs, thank you." Butler Wei said and got into the car.
But Ruomu seemed to have something to say. She knocked on the car window with an anxious look in her eyes.
Uncle Wei rolled down the car window. "Anything else?"
"Uncle, thank you for hiring me!" After saying that, she took a step back and bowed foolishly.
Uncle Wei sighed secretly and nodded: "Work hard, how far you can go depends on yourself."
"I understand!" She paused and bit her lip in embarrassment.
"Anything else?"
"Uncle, I've been thinking about this for two days..."
She hesitated for two seconds, took a deep breath, looked into Uncle Wei's eyes and said, "I've said before, you've done me a favor. As long as I can fulfill your request, I will definitely go through fire and water for you, but I really can't sleep with the young master..."
