Chapter 3 Bring Her Back
As the night deepened, the originally peaceful night was stirred up by wind and rain, and the green bamboos in the courtyard were hit by the raindrops of pearls and jade so that they could not stand up straight.
I thought it was just a short thunderstorm, but it actually continued to drizzle for three days.
At midnight that day, Butler Li walked into the hall from outside holding an umbrella.
The servants had finished work early, and the large living room was very empty, with only the wall lamp flickering a faint light.
The sound of the phone ringing was particularly clear in the living room. After Butler Li confirmed again and again that there was no one around, he hurriedly answered the call.
He whispered to Special Assistant Xu on the other end about the situation at home. After briefly mentioning Yu Zhi's daily routine, he got to the point: "Special Assistant Xu, the Song family sent a birthday invitation to Madam."
I don't know what the other end said in reply. Butler Li lowered his voice a few notches: "Don't worry, I have secretly intercepted it. The Madam doesn't know about it."
Butler Li, who thought he was doing it secretly, didn't know that he had been watched for a long time.
Yu Zhi was wearing a red suspender nightgown, leaning against the railing, one hand pressing the silver bell bracelet on her wrist, and taking in the guilty look of Butler Li in the hall. However, her eyes were full of laziness, and no other emotions could be seen.
[Host, they are going too far!]
Xiaoshui's voice was filled with indignation.
"How did I get to know this Song Chuhe?"
Xiaoshui knew as soon as she heard it that when she was receiving memories, she automatically filtered out those who were not interesting to her.
[I looked over and it seemed like it was a heavy downpour. You were soaking wet and ran into a coffee shop to take shelter. Song Chuhe was very gentlemanly and lent you his coat. Afterwards, you had dinner together...]
"Stop." Yu Zhi couldn't bear to listen any longer and couldn't help but complain: "What a cliché plot."
[Cliche as it may be, Song Chuhe is indeed a brilliant and charming person.]
Yu Zhi could hear Song Chuhe's high praise: "What's going on? You understand now?"
[Of course, our world's system relies on data. The data I've obtained indicates that Song Chuhe is a gentle and humble person, with a good family background and high self-cultivation. He is the most sought-after person among the daughters of the upper class in this world.]
Based on the series of human-machine behaviors performed by the intelligent AI, Yu Zhi couldn't believe any of its data.
She shook her head helplessly and went back to her room in her plush slippers.
[Huh? Master Host, aren't you going to expose him?]
Yu Zhi felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawning loudly. Her words were a little slurred: "Why bother with that old nose? I don't want to go to any birthday party."
It’s better to have a good beauty sleep at home.
Xiaoshui used to live outdoors with Yu Zhi, and he never realized that his host was such a homebody.
Yu Zhi didn't take this little episode to heart at all, but when she woke up, she found out what happened next.
She had just picked up her phone when she saw the message Song Chuhe sent her.
[Song Chuhe: Yu Zhi, I thought your idea was a good one during our last chat. I borrowed a little from it for the layout of this birthday party.]
Below is a picture of a gorgeous manor filled with lavender hyacinths and white and gold tulips.
Song Chuhe: We specially airlifted the Dutch tulips you mentioned.
Yu Zhi raised her eyebrows, and suddenly felt like testing him, so she deliberately replied.
[Birthday party? Are you planning a birthday party?]
She disguised herself very well.
The other side responded quickly.
[Song Chuhe: Yes, didn’t you receive the invitation? ]
Yu Zhi remained ignorant of everything.
[No, did you send me an invitation? ]
There was no reply from the other end, so Yu Zhi simply put down her phone and went into the bathroom to wash up.
It wasn't until she sat down at the dining table and started eating breakfast that she received a reply with a hint of apology.
Song Chuhe: Sorry, I was busy with something. I'll send you an electronic copy.
The next thing that popped up was the electronic invitation.
Seeing how this guy was avoiding the main point, Yu Zhi didn't believe that he couldn't guess that the invitation letter was deliberately intercepted.
Yu Zhi swiped down and found another one with Pei Yuezhou's name written on it.
Song Chuhe: You can attend with your husband.
The system's little water is jumping around again.
[He's really thoughtful. He's taken your married status into consideration.]
Yu Zhi was unmoved: "It's just a courtesy. He knows that Pei Yuezhou will definitely not go."
[Then the host wants to meet him? 】
The birthday party was scheduled for two days later, and Pei Yuezhou would definitely be back by then. Yu Zhi was planning to have a good chat with him, so she didn't have the time to care about others.
"Let's talk about it later."
But what Yu Zhi never expected was that instead of waiting for Pei Yuezhou to come that day, she received the news that he had been in a car accident and was admitted to the hospital.
It is said that when the car was on the highway, it suddenly lost control and hit the guardrail of the bridge directly. It almost fell into the river and the car was destroyed and everyone on board died. The noise was particularly loud.
Yu Zhi and Butler Li arrived at the Central Hospital immediately.
The lights were still on above the operating room, and Assistant Xu, who had just had a plaster cast applied, was sitting on the bench with a very bad look on his face.
"Assistant Xu, how is Ah Yue? How did he suddenly get into a car accident?"
Special Assistant Xu was surprised that Yu Zhi would come over, but he immediately tried to comfort her: "The car is performing well. Mr. Pei is fine. It's just that the wound on his body has been torn... and needs to be sutured."
He silently observed Yu Zhi's expression and saw that her face was full of worry and it didn't seem fake.
"What injury? When did he get injured?" Yu Zhi's heart was lifted up.
"When I was in Country M, I was attacked by my rivals and stabbed in the waist." Special Assistant Xu tried to describe the situation as serious as possible, without mentioning the Song family who suffered even worse in their revenge.
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" Yu Zhi was so angry that her face turned black.
Who knows, maybe those people were responsible for this car accident. After all, the family car has always been maintained, and the car happened to have a problem on the road across the river bridge. No one would believe that it was an accident.
This is clearly an attempt to kill someone.
"Who is this rival you're talking about?"
Special Assistant Xu was unsure of Yu Zhi's current thoughts and spoke hesitantly: "Song Chuhe..."
"Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Just when Special Assistant Xu thought Yu Zhi would say something to defend her friend, he saw her walking up to Butler Li in high heels, giving him a few instructions, and then leaving without saying a word.
Special Assistant Xu: "What did the wife say?"
"Told me to take good care of the master."
Then why did she leave? Didn't she seem very concerned about Pei Dong just now?
Although Special Assistant Xu felt deeply powerless, he immediately contacted his bodyguard to follow her.
But soon, after listening to the bodyguard's report, his feeling of powerlessness became even more intense.
It's over.
In the luxurious VIP ward, a noble man was leaning against the bed, his skin was porcelain white and a little weak. He glanced at the people who came in one by one, and when he didn't see the expected person, his eyes dimmed a little.
"What about her?"
Special Assistant Xu glanced cautiously at his own devastated CEO and didn't dare to reply.
It was Butler Li who gave him a push from behind, trying to give him a little courage.
But this little bit of courage could not withstand the sharp gaze of Pei Yuezhou.
Just when the man was about to lose his patience, Special Assistant Xu said tremblingly: "The wife went to attend Song Chuhe's birthday party..."
The man on the hospital bed clutched the sheets tightly, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with ice, so eerie that it made people feel cold.
After exhaling heavily, he tried to calm himself down.
"Doesn't she know who caused me to be injured like this?"
Xu Te didn't dare to look Pei Yuezhou in the eye, and replied in a low voice: "I know, I know."
Pei Yuezhou suddenly laughed when he heard this. The smile did not reach his eyes, but the overflowing madness dyed the corners of his fair eyes a faint red.
"Okay, very good!"
Pei Yuezhou threw back the quilt and got out of bed. He was in so much pain that he could hardly stand, but he still avoided Assistant Xu's attempt to support him.
"Prepare the car and go to the Song family."
His low, pleasant voice was filled with suppressed anger, which extinguished Assistant Xu's desire to dissuade him, and he could only hurry down to do his job.
The mirror on the wall reflected the man's tall and slender figure, as well as the danger and paranoia that loomed over him.
Zhizhi was bewitched by Song Chuhe again... It doesn't matter, he won't blame her.
But this time, he won't be soft-hearted.
He wanted to completely and firmly keep her by his side. Even if it meant her hatred, he wanted her to witness with her own eyes how he destroyed that hypocrite bit by bit with his own hands...
