It took nearly forty minutes to get from the hospital to the Yun family villa. When the Maybach stopped steadily, the rain outside showed no sign of slowing down. The warm air in the car was still blowing, and the raindrops hit the car windows with crackling sounds.
"Mr. Qin, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" After two seconds of silence, Yun Pei spoke first. Although he didn't want to have too much interaction with this person, he had to be polite since the other person was kind enough to send him home.
Qin Mingyuan shook his head and looked at his watch. It was already past eleven o'clock. "I have something else to do at the company."
His answer was within Yun Pei's expectations. He nodded without saying anything else and reached into his pocket to take out his cell phone.
When he arrived at his doorstep, of course there was no point in bothering anyone else, so he called his aunt and asked her to come out with an umbrella to pick him up.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he caught a glimpse of a car coming from behind in the rearview mirror. He was very familiar with it. He frowned and thought to himself that it was troublesome.
Noticing his actions, Qin Mingyuan looked over and saw that the car behind had already driven over. It should have been planning to go directly into the garage, but for some reason, it stopped when it drove to the side.
The glass of the rear window rolled down, revealing the woman's delicately made-up face. She stared at the window of the driver's seat and called out "Mr. Qin" uncertainly, obviously recognizing his car.
After looking at the silent person, Qin Mingyuan lowered the car window and nodded to him through the rain.
Huo Lijuan didn't expect it was really him. She was very surprised, but then she showed some joy. "Why didn't you inform us in advance that Mr. Qin was coming so that we could make some preparations. Don't neglect you."
Recently, the man has inexplicably become cold to their family. Her son said that he has contacted him less and less frequently. Sometimes, when she sends him messages, he doesn’t reply and his attitude is lukewarm.
Even last week, her husband was rejected when he went to other people's company to discuss a project. This had never happened before, so she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yesterday she even contacted her son who was on the crew to see if he could spare some time to come back and get in touch with the girls and coax them. As men, if they don't get a response after pursuing them for a long time, they will always feel embarrassed, so it's understandable that they will give them a scolding when they cool down.
He loved his son so much and spent so much effort on him, it is impossible for him to let him go. The president of Qin Group must have a temper, and his family can't always take advantage of him.
But no one knew what happened this time with Yun Yuexian. They actually told her to ignore it for the time being. She got so angry that she argued with them and was finally hung up on.
Her son was not doing well for her and she was in a terrible mood. Today, when she saw that annoying guy going to the hospital, she was unhappy and wanted to teach him a lesson. Now she feels much better.
Unexpectedly, there was a surprise waiting for her at the door of her house, and the person she wanted to please actually showed up at her door.
"Come back home with me and sit down. Auntie will personally cook some dishes for you today." Huo Lijuan was smiling happily. If it hadn't been raining outside, she would have definitely gotten out of the car to greet the other person.
Listening to her enthusiastic voice, Yun Pei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked out the window without any emotion. Just then, his aunt came out of the door holding an umbrella. He rolled down the window and said, "The wheelchair is in the trunk."
The other party nodded hurriedly and went to the back with the umbrella. He retracted his gaze and looked at the man in the driver's seat, "Thank you Mr. Qin for sending me back. I'm sorry for taking up your time."
"Just do a good deed today." Ignoring the puzzled look of the woman in the car next to him, Qin Mingyuan turned to look at him, "Do you need help?"
Yun Pei shook his head, unbuckled his seat belt, and waited for the aunt outside to push the wheelchair over.
Huo Lijuan noticed that her aunt took a wheelchair out of the trunk of the Maybach and unfolded it. Her expression changed and she looked into the other car. From her angle, she couldn't see clearly and could only glimpse that there was indeed someone in the passenger seat.
The Maybach drove out and turned around, revealing another car that was blocked. He met the eyes of the person in the car window, and the other person's face looked very ugly.
Yun Pei withdrew his gaze as if he had not noticed her, and controlled the wheelchair to go in with his aunt.
Lunch was already being prepared at home and he could smell the aroma of food. His aunt handed him a towel to wipe the rain off his body and went into the kitchen to continue helping.
Yun Pei wiped off the water droplets casually. He didn't plan to stay downstairs any longer. He slid his wheelchair towards the indoor elevator, but it was obvious that someone was in a hurry to say something to him. Before he left far, the door behind him was opened again.
"Yun Pei!" Huo Lijuan saw him leaving as soon as she entered the room. She called him without thinking. Her tone was not very polite. It was only after she heard it that she realized it. She glanced in the direction of the kitchen and lowered her voice again, "Dinner will be served soon. Don't go upstairs."
Yun Pei's wheelchair stopped for a moment, without any response, and quickly continued to move forward. The other party was just like his father, good at saving face and didn't want anyone to say anything bad about him. He would maintain his decency even in front of the servants.
Huo Lijuan hurried over to stop him, and did not retreat from the cold gaze he was looking at. She smiled and said, "Why did you come back in Mr. Qin's car just now? You two should have never met before, right?"
Sitting in the wheelchair and looking up at the other person, Yun Pei did not feel inferior to her. He looked at her calmly, "We met by chance in the hospital. You saw that I was not feeling well so you sent me back. Didn't you call my car away?"
His voice was emotionless, but Huo Lijuan could hear sarcasm in his last words. She tightened her fingers around her bag, secretly cursing him as a vengeful brat, and said, "So that's how it is. I'm sorry, Xiao Pei. Auntie didn't expect it would take so long. Fortunately, Boss Qin sent you back."
Yun Pei had no interest in acting here with two people who disliked each other. He lowered his eyes and tried to walk around her and leave, but she bent down and took his hand that was on the armrest and patted it. He pulled it out instantly and looked at her coldly.
Huo Lijuan didn't seem to mind. She stood up straight when he resisted her, combed her hair, and said, "Boss Qin loves Xiaoxian deeply, and he loves us too. I don't know how to thank him."
Hearing her say this, Yun Pei remembered the cold expression on the man's face when he mentioned Yun Yuexian in the car, and the words "I'm not interested in any of you."
He was not the kind of person who could guess what was in other people's minds, but he could still understand the emotions in the other person's eyes at that moment, which was that there were no emotions, as if in his eyes, all people were the same.
Yun Pei didn’t know whether Qin Mingyuan was too good at disguising himself or if he had really changed. At least, the other party didn’t care about Yun Yuexian as much as everyone thought.
He didn't intend to argue about these things with the woman. Saying one more word to her would only make him feel disgusted.
He withdrew his gaze indifferently and walked around her without saying a word. This time he was not stopped.
Huo Lijuan maintained her smile until his figure disappeared in the elevator. Then her expression gradually grew colder. She snorted and threw her handbag on the sofa.
After thinking about it, she walked over and sat down, took out her cell phone from her bag and sent a message to her son, asking him to contact Qin Mingyuan more often.
No matter what the reason was, she didn't want Qin Mingyuan and Yun Pei to get too close. Even if she really loved Qin Mingyuan and Yun Pei, it wouldn't be the turn of this little bastard.
