Chapter 23 How to meet people?
Pei Jiuyan had arrived at the ward door at some point, carrying a takeout bag containing soup that he had had simmered overnight.
The atmosphere in the ward changed immediately when he arrived.
Zhou Xiao didn't know how much he had heard, or whether he had heard her say that Ning Xu was better than him. She was somewhat afraid of Pei Jiuyan. It could be said that apart from Yun Zhaozhao, no one was not afraid of Pei Jiuyan.
Amidst the varied gazes of the three, Pei Jiuyan walked up to Yun Zhaozhao, his face showing no sign of anger. He tidied himself up and looked much better than before.
"Eat something first. I've been cooking this all night, and I had someone take care of all the oil."
Pei Jiuyan poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Yun Zhaozhao.
The soup was indeed very fragrant, and Yun Zhaozhao didn't hold back, taking a sip and finishing it in one go. "Now that you're done, you can go. I want to chat with my friend for a while."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuyan glanced at Zhou Xiao, who shrank back, avoiding his gaze.
This person has a terrifying aura.
Pei Jiuyan wasn't angry. He straightened the blankets for Yun Zhaozhao and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a shower and change my clothes first. Don't chat for too long, and get some rest."
His words naturally went unanswered. Only after Pei Jiuyan left did Zhou Xiao touch his chest and say, "That's terrifying! Bao'er, how did you manage to stay with him for seven years?"
Yun Zhaozhao smiled, because Pei Jiuyan wasn't like this before; he used to be very gentle.
However, she thought he was only gentle to her, unaware that he was gentle to many others.
"Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he won't agree to a divorce."
"That's what Zhou Yueming said from the side."
As a man himself, he knew very well how terrifying Pei Jiuyan's possessiveness towards Yun Zhaozhao was.
Yun Zhaozhao felt a little irritated upon hearing this, which was also what she was worried about. If Pei Jiuyan knew that she was pregnant at this time, he would be even less likely to divorce her.
Over there, Pei Jiuyan got into the car with a sullen face. Seeing his bad expression, Assistant Qin didn't dare to say a word.
"Find a way to get Ning Xu to leave."
Pei Jiuyan spoke, his mind filled with Zhou Xiao's words.
Are Yun Zhaozhao and Ning Xu a better match?
Zhao Zhao can only be his.
"Yes, Mr. Pei, is there anything else we can do?"
Assistant Qin asked cryptically.
There was no response for a long time. Assistant Qin pondered for a moment, considering what method to use, when Pei Jiuyan suddenly said, "Never mind, no need!"
Assistant Qin glanced at the BOSS in the rearview mirror with surprise, not understanding why he had suddenly changed his mind.
Pei Jiuyan ground his back teeth and said unwillingly, "He saved Zhaozhao, I owe him one."
That year, if Ning Xu hadn't gone back in time, who knows what would have happened to his little princess. In a sense, Ning Xu saved Yun Zhaozhao, and even more so, he saved him.
Assistant Qin was not surprised at all upon hearing this.
To outsiders, Pei Jiuye, whom everyone in Kyoto circles fears, is always a man of his word. However, only his closest confidants know that when it comes to the Yun family's little princess, Pei Jiuye is always the one who compromises.
That night, at such an important banquet, he went back without hesitation because of a phone call from his wife. When he got back, he didn't see his wife. Just as he was about to go look for her, he received another call saying that Miss Wen had an accident. So he rushed to the hospital, only to find his wife there.
During those two days, his wife went missing, and he was frantic with worry, asking all of her friends.
Later, upon learning that the person was in Norway, he dropped everything and rushed there, only to find...
As an outsider, he couldn't understand how the eldest son and his wife had come to this.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Pei Jiuyan say, "Wouldn't someone get tired of watching the same thing for seven years?"
Assistant Qin dared not respond to that, and what Pei Jiuyan said next terrified him even more.
"Contact the best cosmetic surgery clinic."
"……yes."
Assistant Qin didn't know what his boss was up to this time, but he guessed it was probably related to his wife.
Yun Zhaozhao had just caught a cold, but she was taken to the hospital in time and there was nothing wrong with her. Zhou Yueming also knew that she didn't like being hospitalized or taking medicine, so after confirming that she was alright, he let her go home.
"I won't prescribe any medicine for you, but you must get plenty of rest. No matter what, your health is your own responsibility."
"Thank you, Brother Yueming."
Zhou Xiao accompanied Yun Zhaozhao back to the Yun family home, where Aunt Chen had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
Zhou Xiao hadn't eaten Aunt Chen's cooking in a long time, and after a barrage of compliments, Aunt Chen beamed with joy.
"By the way, it's Grandpa Fu's birthday in a couple of days. Are you going this year?"
Zhou Xiao asked casually.
Yun Zhaozhao hesitated upon hearing this.
Grandpa Fu was a good friend of Yun Zhaozhao's maternal grandfather. The grandfather originally wanted his daughter to marry Grandpa Fu's son, but Yun's mother insisted on marrying Yun's father, which made the grandfather very angry.
By the time it came to Yun Zhaozhao's generation, Yun Zhaozhao was especially favored by Grandpa Fu. Yun Zhaozhao also used to love playing with Fu Shangluo. The two families had their own ideas, but since they were still young at the time, no one mentioned it, thinking that childhood sweethearts would have a better relationship.
Who knew that Pei Jiuyan would suddenly appear out of nowhere? Yun Zhaozhao fell in love with Pei Jiuyan and chose to marry him after graduation, abandoning her passion for painting and dancing. This is why her grandfather was angry and hasn't spoken to her much in recent years.
Logically speaking, given the close relationship between the two families, and with Grandpa Fu's birthday approaching and her maternal grandfather absent, Yun Zhaozhao, as the representative, should have attended. However, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to face Fu Shangluo.
Back then, after she got together with Pei Jiuyan, Fu Shangluo came to see her. When she heard Fu Shangluo ask her what she lacked compared to Pei Jiuyan, she was completely stunned. She had always treated Fu Shangluo as an older brother and had never thought of anything else.
Fu Shangluo's eyes were full of disappointment. He gave a bitter smile: "I used to think that you were still young, and that no one could take away our relationship, so I wanted to wait a little longer. But I was wrong."
After that incident, Fu Shangluo never appeared in front of her again. Later, she only heard that after he returned from further studies, he chose to work at a university.
The two people live in different circles and have been avoiding each other, so they haven't met all these years.
"Forget it, I'd better not go."
Yun Zhaozhao shook her head, thinking the matter was over, but she received a call from her grandfather the next day.
"Zhao Zhao, I need to prepare for the art exhibition and won't be able to come back. Tomorrow, you can go to the Fu family on my behalf. I've already prepared the gift, and I'll deliver it to your house later."
"Okay, Grandpa, have someone deliver the things to Luhu Lake."
Yun Zhaozhao quickly replied.
The old man on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before asking, "Why did you go back to Luhu? Did that Pei guy bully you?"
Yun Zhaozhao's voice was a little sore, and she forced a smile as she said, "No, how could that be? How dare he bully me?"
"That's good."
Grandpa hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tell Grandpa what's wrong. I'm not dead yet."
"good!"
After Yun Zhaozhao finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, afraid that her grandfather would realize something was wrong.
The next day, Yun Zhaozhao got up early to get ready. When she saw herself in the mirror, she was shocked. How could she have become so thin?
She dressed up quite carefully, which was unusual for her. Apart from looking a bit thinner, she looked fine and in good condition.
Pei Jiuyan returned at some point, and when he saw her wearing a hollowed-out, fitted fishtail dress, his eyes gradually deepened.
"The baby is so beautiful."
Pei Jiuyan stepped forward and, before Yun Zhaozhao could react, wrapped his arms around her waist, buried his head in her neck, and gently bit her, leaving a tooth mark.
"Pei Jiuyan, are you a dog?"
Yun Zhaozhao looked at Pei Jiuyan angrily. Her skin was delicate, and the tooth mark wouldn't disappear for two or three days. How was she going to face people later?
