Chapter 413: Meet Him
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Counting the cold winter, it had already entered the coldest time of the year. It was almost New Year’s Day, and the entire streets of the capital were showing signs of welcoming the new year. It had been raining all day. The sky was gloomy and colder than usual. It was also easier to be irritated.
Around five o’clock, the frustrated Pei Jiao prepared to go out.
She was really afraid of the cold and changed into an even thicker down jacket.
She tied a rabbit fur scarf around her neck, but she was afraid of getting cold.
Before she went out, she went back and put on a hat.
Beike’s car was parked outside Tanhua Manor, waiting for Pei Jiao.
As Pei Jiao came out with an umbrella, Beike recognized her from afar and immediately turned on his spotlights. Pei Jiao changed her hand holding the umbrella and saw Beike’s car. She quickened her pace and walked towards Beike’s car.
She sat in the front passenger seat and was putting away the umbrella when she heard Beike click his tongue. “You’re dressed very differently today.”
Pei Jiao looked up. “What’s different?”
Beike said very seriously, “Very… cute?”
Pei Jiao snorted. “Girls are incarnations of cuteness. It’s just that as they age, their style and dressing have changed. They’re still essentially cute.”
Beike chuckled. “It seems that this Young Master Wei has given you an extraordinary blow. Your mentality has changed.”
Pei Jiao could not be bothered with Beike’s teasing.
Originally, she had planned to meet Wei Yu herself. She had already told Beike
not to look for her for the next two days. However, Beike insisted on meeting Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was hot-headed and actually agreed.
At this moment, Beike was about to start the car. His hand paused in midair for a few seconds before he turned to look at Pei Jiao. “Are you sure you want to meet Wei Yu?”
Pei Jiao nodded. “Yes, don’t you want to see him too?”
Beike: “You’re not calling people?”
Pei Jiao rolled her eyes at Beike. “I already said that in a lawful society, people have to be taught when they gather and fight.”
“Come on, you even dare to peek through the firewall to look at national secrets. Compared to being caught and educated, this is life imprisonment.”
Beike accidentally mentioned that Pei Jiao had done the most reckless thing when she was young. She was lucky that time. If she had made even the slightest mistake, Pei Jiao would be in prison now. It was not an exaggeration.
Pei Jiao gestured for him to stop. “Hey, a good man doesn’t talk about his past bravery.” What she had done back then was indeed rash. If it were now, she would not dare to do it even if she was given a hundred guts.
“Hurry up and drive,” Pei Jiao said. “If you’re late, we might not see Wei Yu.”
The Wei Residence was more than ten kilometers away from the Tanhua Manor where the Pei family lived.
Beike drove for more than half an hour before arriving at the Wei Residence. The car stopped in the distance. Beike lowered the window and looked up at the majestic and ancient residence in front of him. “This residence of the Wei family is worth some money.”
Pei Jiao said, “The Wei family is also a famous family.”
“I know.” Beike clicked his tongue. “No wonder he’s so unyielding. He dared to offend the Pei family.”
Pei Jiao was speechless. Beike clearly did not say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.
The rain was still falling, no less than when she had first left the house. The windshield wiper in front of her scraped back and forth. Pei Jiao looked away and reached out to open the door.
Beike stopped her. “Are you planning to go in just like that?”
Pei Jiao said, “What else?”
Beike: “Are you sure the Wei family can let you in?
Pei Jiao said, “Let’s try.”
Beike: “Is there a way?
Pei Jiao said truthfully, “No.”
Beike: “Then how are you going to get in?
Pei Jiao had already pushed open the car door and picked up the umbrella with her other hand. “Just be thick-skinned enough.”
Halfway down the car, before Pei Jiao could hold the umbrella, Beike suddenly reached out and pulled her back into the car.
Pei Jiao fell back into her seat. She said, “Ouch,” and almost hit her head on the gear lever. Beike held the back of her head with his other hand so she didn’t hit it, but she managed to sprain her waist. Pei Jiao bared her teeth. “Are you crazy? What are you doing? My waist almost cracked because of you.”
Beike made a shushing gesture, then gestured to Pei Jiao with his eyes. “Look ahead.” Pei Jiao retracted her bared teeth and turned her head. She looked in the direction Beike had indicated.
In this season, the sky darkened early. Half an hour’s journey, the sky was getting dark.
Looking through the night, under the white light of the mansion’s door, a black Cayenne slowly drove out of the side door of the Wei Residence. The guard walked forward and stood outside the backseat window, bending respectfully. The person in the car said something, and the guard smiled and nodded, then retreated. The Cayenne slowly drove out of the mansion.
From afar, Pei Jiao’s vision was still good. From her angle, she could just see the slowly rising window of the Cayenne after it drove out.
She saw a young man sitting in the backseat. However, Pei Jiao only saw his side profile. Pei Jiao’s gaze was still following in that direction when the Cayenne drove away.
Beike’s voice pulled Pei Jiao’s soul back. “Could the person in the car be Wei
Pei Jiao suddenly turned her head and stared at Beike in surprise. “Is he Wei Yu?”
Beike: “I don’t know. I guessed.”
Pei Jiao had never seen Wei Yu when she grew up, let alone Beike. The man in the back seat of the Cayenne just now was especially young and had a special chauffeur. The guard’s attitude was also respectful, so it was very likely that that person was Wei Yu!
Pei Jiao instructed Beike, “Go over there and ask.”
Bei Ke was unhappy. “Why don’t you go yourself?”
Pei Jiao looked at him. “Are you going?
Beike swallowed. “Go, go, go.”
Beike reluctantly pushed open the car door and got out. Pei Jiao handed him an umbrella and reminded him, “Don’t ask if the person in the car was Wei Yu Just say that you’re looking for Wei Yu.”
Beike: “Got it.”
“There’s more,” Pei Jiao said.
Beike turned around. “What else?”
Pei Jiao shouted at the top of her voice, “Walk faster!
Beike:
Two minutes later, Beike ran back. He opened the car door and sat in. He said to Pei Jiao loudly, “The person in that car just now was Wei Yu.”
Pei Jiao said, “Drive and chase after the Cayenne.”
Beike: ?
Seeing that Beike was in a daze, Pei Jiao reminded him, “What are you waiting for? Drive, or we won’t be able to catch up.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? We’ve come so far. It would be strange if we could catch up!” Beike cursed as he started the engine and drove in the direction Cayenne had left.
Although it was a few minutes late,
Beike’s tracking skills were very good, and he quickly locked onto the Cayenne driving out of the Wei residence. Pei Jiao stared at the car in front of her while praising Beike’s tracking skills. “I knew you would definitely catch up. Other than you, no one else has this technology.”
Beike sneered. “Stop KTVing me.”
Pei Jiao said, “Alright, I’ll CPU you.”
Beike: “Just don’t end up in the ICU in the end.” Unexpectedly, Beike’s last sentence came true..
