The old lady was lying on the bed and purposely pulled out the phone to call Ji Yueze. When Ji Yueze heard that his grandma was in the hospital, he immediately rushed over. Unexpectedly, the moment she entered the ward and saw Pei Ying sitting beside him, his expression changed.
"Boss ??" Pei Ying hurriedly stood up with a panicked expression.
Ji Yueze walked directly to the side of the bed. The old lady was already fine and was resting on the bed.
"Grandmother, what's wrong? Why would they come to the hospital? " Ji Yueze asked anxiously.
The old lady pointed at Pei Ying, who was sitting beside her, "This girl sent me to the hospital out of kindness. I just asked, and I found out that she's from your company. She's a good person. Train her well."
Surprise flashed across Ji Yueze Jun's face as he turned around to look at Pei Ying.
Pei Ying was so scared that she didn't dare to look at Ji Yueze. She was really afraid that he would see through everything.
"Grandmother, why did you leave the house without following anyone else? Do you know that we'll be worried about you like this?" Ji Yueze advised warmly.
"I just got together with a few friends and was about to take a walk. I didn't expect my chest to suddenly ache. I'll be more careful next time. You should send me home now. Oh right, you have to be grateful to this girl!" The old lady and Pei Ying looked at each other. Pei Ying's eyes were filled with gratitude.
Ji Yueze nodded. "Grandma, don't worry. If she saved you, of course I would be grateful to her."
"No, no, no, boss, I only did it with a little effort!" Of course, Pei Ying had to put on an act, so she said modestly.
Ji Yueze helped the old lady to put on her shoes and got off the bed. When he arrived in front of Pei Ying, he said in a low voice, "Come to my office tomorrow morning!"
With that, Ji Yueze supported the old lady and left, leaving behind a pleasantly surprised Pei Ying.
Pei Ying covered her mouth excitedly. She didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. Ji Yueze told her to go to his office and find him. He didn't know how to thank her. Just thinking about it made her happy.
Ji Yueze drove the old lady home. On the way, the old lady casually asked: "How's your work these days? "Busy?"
"I'm pretty busy. Grandmother, you don't have to worry. I can handle it." Ji Yueze answered in a low voice.
"Are you still in contact with Bai Yiyan?" The old lady asked directly.
Ji Yueze's heart skipped a beat, but his handsome face remained calm. He said softly, "No!"
"Alright, since you promised Grandma that you won't contact her again, then Grandma will believe you. However, if Bai Yiyan comes to pester you recklessly, Grandma won't let her go." The old lady harrumphed angrily.
Ji Yueze frowned: "No way, she's not that kind of person!"
"Are you still speaking up for her? Xiao Ze, Grandma doesn't have much time left. If you still want Grandma to live a few more years, then don't make her sad. After Grandma leaves, you can stay together however you want. As the old lady spoke, she covered her mouth and started crying. It was obvious that she was really sad and felt that her grandson had lied to her.
Ji Yueze's mind was in a mess. He quickly stopped the car and comforted the old lady gently, "Grandma, don't cry. Your body is fine. The doctor said you can't get too excited anymore."
"You have to always remember how your father died. You can't be an unfilial child, you know?" The old lady raised her hand and hit Ji Yueze's arm heavily.
Ji Yueze was shocked and his expression froze.
"I will remember it!" Ji Yueze bit his lips and said shamelessly.
"Just remember this!" The old lady was also exhausted. She leaned back in her chair and didn't say anything else.
Ji Yueze drove her back to the Ji Family. Lan Yue walked out and saw the old lady and her youngest son. She couldn't help but be startled: "Mom, why are you with Xiao Ze?"
"Grandma nearly fainted on the way here. She just went to the hospital for an examination. Mom, take care of Grandma first. I'm leaving first!" Ji Yueze helped the old lady into the living room and sat down. Then he gave Lan Yue a gentle reminder before driving away.
Ji Yueze felt a little absent-minded while driving. He really felt sorry for his grandmother's teary face just now. Grandma was already so old and she was still worrying about him. He was truly unfilial.
Back at his home, Ji Yueze sat on the sofa as if he had collapsed. At this moment, the sky outside the window was completely dark. He looked at the watch in his hand. The plane Bai Yiyan was on should have taken off already.
"Xiao Yan, give me some more time!" Ji Yueze poured himself a glass of wine and leaned on the bar. He looked up at the sky outside the window and muttered to himself.
He lowered his head and took a sip of the wine. The ice-cold liquid reached all the way to his stomach, and his thin lips curled up into a self-deprecating smile. He didn't expect that his previously carefree self would end up trapped by the love net, unable to escape and unable to escape.
The next morning, Pei Ying was standing in the locker room, picking at her clothes.
She'd already swapped out no less than ten sets, but she was always dissatisfied with each one.
He looked at the clothes in the wardrobe that he had bought carefully, and his face was filled with disdain.
"Oh yeah, I can go to Bai Yiyan's room and find a set to wear. Ji Yueze likes her so much, so he will definitely like her dressing up." Thinking of this, Pei Ying immediately turned around and went to Bai Yiyan's room.
There were a few coats hanging in Bai Yiyan's closet. One of them was a khaki colored jacket with white rabbit fur on it. Pei Ying took it and put it on. Unexpectedly, she looked pure.
She ran back to her room and looked at herself in the mirror. In fact, she had always felt that everything Bai Yiyan bought was as rustic as her temperament. But now, she needed to borrow her clothes to exchange for a man's gaze.
In order to create a sense of familiarity with Ji Yueze, Pei Ying still chose to put on Bai Yiyan's coat and put on a faint makeup before going out with her bag.
When she arrived at the company, she directly went to Ji Yueze's office to find him.
When the assistant brought her to Ji Yueze's unique garden office, Pei Ying was stu
ed. She had never been here before and it was her first time seeing such refined office space.
Her eyes reddened with jealousy at the thought of how often Bai Yiyan used to come and go.
Pei Ying stood outside the office door and took a deep breath before she knocked on the door.
A man's cold voice came from inside, "Come in!"
Pei Ying immediately pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Ji Yueze in a sky-blue suit, sitting on his office chair with a stern expression. He straightened up when he saw her and said, "Tell me, what kind of payment do you want?"
Pei Ying was stu
ed. "??"
