Chapter 152 Prelude to the Sniping of the Leng Family
The recording of the sixth episode officially ended tonight.
Although the viewers in the live stream expressed their deep reluctance, the assistant director still shut down the live stream on time.
That evening, Leng Yifan and Zhong Ran called their driver to pick them up and take them back. They didn't want to spend another night in the bare cave. Zhong Ran couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the bugs that had crawled onto his hand the first night.
Xu Wang and the others returned the next day in a special car provided by the production team.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan arrived home close to noon.
As soon as Xu Wang got home, he threw himself onto the sofa again.
Xu Wang nestled comfortably on the sofa, hugging a goose plush toy.
Pei Yanchuan disinfected his entire body, including both suitcases, in the entryway before pushing them inside.
After pushing his suitcase into the changing room, Pei Yanchuan didn't unpack immediately. Instead, he walked out of the bedroom and sat down next to Xu Wang: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Meat!" Xu Wang answered without hesitation.
Pei Yanchuan silently took out his phone and ordered the restaurant that Xu Wang had previously thought was delicious.
At exactly 12 noon, the doorbell of the villa was gently rang.
Xu Wang opened the door and looked out into the yard. Sure enough, the food delivery person had arrived. Xu Wang opened the gate to the yard, took the food from the person's hands, and gently closed the door again.
"Yan Chuan, dinner's ready." Xu Wang placed the food on the dining table.
Pei Yanchuan happened to be walking out of the kitchen with clean bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Wang opened the bag with great anticipation. The first box contained bok choy, the second box contained baby bok choy, and the third box contained stir-fried green beans...
Xu Wang stared in disbelief at the three dishes in front of him. Where was his meat? Where was the meat he was promised?
Pei Yanchuan slowly took out the last small box from the bag, which contained sweet and sour pork ribs covered in sweet and sour sauce.
Xu Wang's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the dish.
"Let's eat." Pei Yanchuan brought out the meatball soup from the bottom of the bowl.
"Okay." Xu Wang obediently sat back down in his seat.
After serving Xu Wang two ribs, Pei Yanchuan also served him some other dishes.
Xu Wang knew from the first bite that this was the same dish from the restaurant he had visited last time. After all, the fact that they could make vegetables taste so good really left a deep impression on him.
Xu Wang put some vegetables on Pei Yanchuan's plate: "Did you tell Grandpa we're back today?"
“I told you, Grandpa told us to go to the old house for dinner tonight. We can bring the glutinous rice back with us when we come back.” Pei Yanchuan slowly chewed the vegetables in his mouth.
"I wonder how Nuomi has been doing these past few days? I've been missing her a bit," Xu Wang sighed, recalling Nuomi when he left.
Pei Yanchuan sat opposite him without saying a word, pondering how to get Nuomi to sleep obediently in the living room tonight.
At this moment, the courtyard of the old house was completely dominated by Nuomi. Nuomi sat on the spiral slide with a big smile on her face, but before she could slide down, her body got stuck in the second half.
Grandpa Pei, who was waiting for Nuomi at the finish line, looked up in confusion.
"Oh dear, Nuomi, you're stuck! Are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Grandpa Pei threw his cane aside and quickly stepped forward to pat Nuomi's bottom, trying to knock it off.
"Awoo awoo awoo~" Nuomi shook its head frantically, but it was no use at all, because its butt was still stuck tightly.
The old butler sighed deeply as he watched the anxious man and dog. "Master, don't you see how many pounds Nuomi has gained in just one week? How round she's become? The slide was already the perfect size, how could Nuomi not get stuck now that she's gotten so fat?"
The old butler was troubled; how could he subtly remind his master that Nuomi needed to lose weight?
Old Master Pei had no idea of the old butler's melancholy, and quickly called him over to help him exert himself.
With their combined efforts, the glutinous rice was finally squeezed out.
After Nuomi came down the slide, she shook her body, making her look even rounder with her fluffy fur.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan arrived at the old house. As soon as they entered, the old butler came out to greet them.
"Young Master, Young Master Xu, you've arrived."
"Where's Grandpa?" Pei Yanchuan asked after handing the nutritional supplements to the maid.
Xu Wang looked around and suddenly realized that the courtyard of the old house seemed to have undergone tremendous changes in just one week! For example, the playground that used to be just a small piece of glutinous rice has now almost expanded to the entire courtyard.
"The master is in the living room. Ms. Yan Shuang and her wife, Ms. Ye Qingzhou, have arrived," the old butler replied with a smile.
Pei Yanchuan paused upon hearing the old butler's words and slowly raised his head.
Xu Wang's hand was held tightly by Pei Yanchuan, and he could clearly feel the other's hand tighten for a moment.
Xu Wang looked at the other party's serious expression with curiosity. He didn't doubt Pei Yanchuan, but was just curious about who these two were that could make Pei Yanchuan 'nervous'.
Pei Yanchuan had no idea that his momentary thought was perceived as nervousness by Xu Wang beside him, and he took Xu Wang's hand and walked into the living room.
"Xiao Wang, you're here! Come sit next to Grandpa." Grandpa Pei waved to Xu Wang with a big smile as he entered.
"You're here, Grandpa." Xu Wang didn't refuse and walked over to sit down next to Grandpa Pei in a very generous manner.
Xu Wang looked up at the opposite side and suddenly saw two familiar faces.
Aren't these the two old ladies I met when I went to Moon Island to film?
"It's you?"
"Mother-in-law?"
Ye Qingzhou and Xu Wang's voices rang out simultaneously.
When Ye Qingzhou heard Xu Wang call her, she smiled kindly at him. Today, she was wearing a royal blue trench coat, and her earrings and necklace were matching pearl jewelry. She looked extremely elegant.
The woman sitting on the sofa next to her, drinking coffee, was the same woman who had been standing in the coffee shop at the time.
"You two know each other?" Old Master Pei turned to look at the two of them curiously.
"Well, it's like this, I ran into them when Ashuang and I went on vacation to Moon Island before. They seemed to be filming a show. I didn't recognize them as your grandson when I saw them," Ye Qingzhou said with a smile.
"Haha, that's normal, it's been several years since we last met." Old Master Pei waved his hand with a smile.
Knowing that these people would definitely talk about company matters again, Ye Qingzhou took the initiative to invite Xu Wang to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
Xu Wang naturally wouldn't refuse. After the two left the living room, the entire living room instantly fell silent.
Yan Shuang gently placed the coffee cup in her hand on the table in front of her, and the clinking sound of the coffee cup against the table successfully broke the silence of the living room.
"You need to take down the Leng family." Yan Shuang crossed her arms and gently placed them on her knees, her gaze fixed on Pei Yanchuan, who was sitting on a single sofa opposite her.
Yan Shuang's words were not a question; it was clear that she had sensed Pei's recent secret moves.
"Hmm." Pei Yanchuan put down his teacup, looking completely at ease. After all, it wasn't something he needed to hide, was it?
Yan Shuang looked at Pei Yanchuan, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and couldn't help but sigh. Pei Quan was really lucky. Although he had a good-for-nothing son, this good-for-nothing son brought him a very promising grandson.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Old Master Pei leisurely sipped the tea in front of him.
"What do you plan to do? Do you intend to severely injure it, or..." Yan Shuang didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
"I never do anything that will give me any reason to worry about the consequences."
"Grandpa, drinking too much tea at night is bad for your health." Pei Yanchuan pressed down on his grandfather's hand as he was about to add more tea.
Grandpa Pei withdrew his hand as if in surrender. He should have had one more cup of tea before his grandson arrived. This was top-grade tea that he had spent a long time acquiring. Now, all of it was going to go to waste.
"Aren't you afraid I'll help the Leng family?" Yan Shuang smiled as she looked at the calm-faced young man in front of her. She wanted to see how she could make him change his expression.
“You won’t,” Pei Yanchuan said calmly.
"Oh? You're so sure?"
"Um."
"Why?" Yan Shuang was genuinely curious.
"Because you also want a piece of the big prize that belongs to the Leng family."
