Chapter 62 He's About to Turn Evil
Assistant Qin's concerns were exactly what Pei Jiuyan was worried about.
Although her mother woke up, she was in very poor condition, especially after discovering that she couldn't move her legs. She was emotionally devastated. In the end, Pei Jiuyan found a doctor to tell her to rest well and that her legs would regain sensation, which helped her feel a little better.
But it only got a little better. She became extremely sensitive and afraid. Whenever Pei Jiuyan wasn't around, she would make more than ten phone calls, and every call she would question him about whether he was with Yun Zhaozhao.
When I see him, I will say the same things I just said.
Pei Jiuyan had originally planned to talk to his mother about Yun Zhaozhao after she woke up, but her current condition made him completely afraid to mention Yun Zhaozhao.
However, after just one night, Pei Jiuyan was exhausted. The doctor said that she had developed serious psychological problems and was now very resistant to the outside world. It was not possible to consider a psychologist for the time being, and the only option was to have familiar people keep her company.
Originally, he didn't want the clerk to get close to his mother anymore, but his mother's condition was so bad and she kept insisting on seeing the clerk, so in the end he had no choice but to let the clerk come over first.
"You'd better know what you should say and what you shouldn't say."
“Clerk, you’re a smart man, don’t do anything stupid.”
The smile on Wenshu's face froze, and his expression turned sorrowful. "Brother Jiu, is this how you think of me?"
Her approach had no effect on Pei Jiuyan. He said indifferently, "Shuwen, if you were smart, you would keep your distance from me. You didn't get to where you are today easily, so don't court disaster."
The clerk's face flushed and paled in turns. If she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't want to serve a heavily pregnant man. However, she knew this was her only trump card. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I know."
Pei Jiuyan looked down on her, but without the Yun family and Pei Jiuyan's protection, what was Yun Zhaozhao?
Her fingers twitched slightly, but by the time she reached Madam Pei, she had regained her composure.
With Madam Pei overseeing the documents, Pei Jiuyan finally had time to visit Old Master Huang. He knew how important this only relative was to Yun Zhaozhao, so he made sure to dress himself up nicely and went to great lengths to find an ancient painting to visit him.
He was turned away at the door; neither he nor his belongings were allowed to enter. He was only allowed to send out a calligraphy scroll with the words "Shameless" written on it in a flamboyant style.
Pei Jiuyan glanced at it, then put it away with a sullen face.
He didn't have much contact with Yun Zhaozhao, his maternal grandfather. The latter was a literary giant, arrogant and unapproachable.
In the past, Yun's father had vaguely complained to him that his father-in-law was difficult to get along with, and Yun's father had to keep a low profile. At that time, he didn't feel much about it, but now he has witnessed how formidable this old man is.
Assistant Qin glanced at Pei Jiuyan and relayed the information he had just received.
"On Saturday, Grandpa Huang invited a group of people to his home for a small gathering. Many of them came from scholarly families and were from prominent families. Moreover, it seemed that all of them would bring their younger relatives."
Everyone understood what this meant, and Pei Jiuyan pursed his thin lips even tighter.
He hadn't even dealt with Chen Boxu, Fu Shangluo, and Ning Xu yet, and now with so many more 'love rivals,' Pei Jiuyan felt a lot of pressure.
"Let's go back first."
Pei Jiuyan rubbed his temples and said.
Saturday arrived quickly. Yun Zhaozhao had finalized the theme for her carving over the past two days and was now practicing.
She wasn't particularly interested in the party her grandfather organized, but she knew his good intentions, so she changed into a nude-colored fishtail dress to attend the banquet.
Her stomach was still flat, and nothing could be seen. The perfectly tailored fishtail dress accentuated her figure, making her look incredibly sexy. Her long, black hair was braided into a thick braid and casually placed in front of her chest. She wore a heart-shaped pink gemstone necklace around her swan-like neck. She took her grandfather's arm and slowly walked down the stairs.
The moment Yun Zhaozhao appeared, she instantly attracted everyone's attention. They couldn't help but sigh that the little princess was still the same little princess. There was no such thing as being down on her luck. Just her face and aura were enough to crush all the current socialites.
Although Old Master Huang is not in business, his status is undeniable, and many people are naturally eager to befriend him. Those who had previously harbored some intentions after hearing about Yun Zhaozhao's divorce now have to reassess the consequences of their actions against her.
The Yun family isn't without members; she still has her maternal grandfather, and if all else fails, she still has Pei Jiuyan and Chen Boxu. I've heard that Master Pei is now filled with regret and thinks about remarrying every day.
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts. The younger generation didn't have so many ideas, and several of them had already gathered around Yun Zhaozhao.
They had heard of this young princess from Beijing's elite circles long ago, but hadn't had the chance to get to know her before. Now that they had this opportunity, they naturally didn't want to let it slip by.
Fu Shangluo was also there today. Given the relationship between the Fu family and Old Master Huang, he naturally had to show his support and stayed by Yun Zhaozhao's side the whole time.
The two had grown up together and were recently collaborating on a carving project, so they naturally had endless topics to talk about. Yun Zhaozhao always had a smile on her face and was more affectionate towards Fu Shangluo than towards others.
Pei Jiuyan, who was in the corner, unconsciously tightened his grip when he saw this scene. The seat next to Yun Zhaozhao was clearly his, but now he had to do everything he could to even get in.
After straightening his clothes, Pei Jiuyan walked towards Yun Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao!"
"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing Pei Jiuyan, Yun Zhaozhao frowned, clearly somewhat surprised.
"I heard that my grandfather had returned, so I came to see him."
Pei Jiuyan lies without batting an eye, and when he looked at Fu Shangluo, he was even more confident: "Professor Fu, Zhaozhao and I have some private things to talk about, I'm sorry."
"Pei Jiuyan, are you sick in the head?"
Yun Zhaozhao was a little annoyed. Why hadn't she found Pei Jiuyan so annoying before?
Seeing that more and more people were looking this way, Yun Zhaozhao didn't want her grandfather to worry, so she said coldly, "Come with me."
She took Pei Jiuyan to the greenhouse, where a patch of flowers bloomed beautifully even in the cold winter.
Yun Zhaozhao walked quickly, her face grim. She said, "You'd better really have something to say."
“Pei Xiaobao wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I took him to the hospital. The doctor said he had eaten something indiscriminately and induced vomiting. It turned out he had eaten this.”
As Pei Jiuyan spoke, he took out an earring from his pocket. It was Yun Zhaozhao's earring, a Christmas gift he had given her last year.
When Yun Zhaozhao left that house, she took nothing but her own belongings.
Seeing the earring in Pei Jiuyan's hand, she was about to take it when she suddenly remembered something, and her eyes widened instantly:
"Who is Pei Xiaobao? Don't tell me he's that little mongrel?"
"Yes, I named it. You can change it if you don't like it, but you have to do it quickly, otherwise it will have to get used to it."
As Pei Jiuyan spoke, she took out her phone and showed Yun Zhaozhao photos and videos of Pei Xiaobao: "Look how cute it is."
Yun Zhaozhao looked at the little stray dog in the video and couldn't believe it was the same dog she had seen that day. The change was too great; it had gained some weight, and thanks to the nice clothes and well-groomed fur, it didn't look so ugly anymore.
Things that Pei Jiuyan used to look down on, he can now take good care of.
Seeing that her expression softened, Pei Jiuyan suggested, "Do you like it? I'll bring it over for you to rest for a few days."
