The situation was urgent, Ji Wei didn’t have time to think much and directly turned the car around, heading towards Ye Cheng’s apartment.
Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Ji Wei saw Xia Duoduo bowing and nodding to send off the firefighter uncle.
"This kind of situation is particularly dangerous, you must pay attention to electrical safety. Luckily, it was discovered in time, otherwise the whole house would have been burned down."
The firefighter uncle warned them with a few more words before leaving.
Xia Duoduo looked troubled, and her eyes lit up when she saw Ji Wei stepping out of the elevator. She quickly grabbed her and walked into the apartment.
"How did you manage to set the curtains on fire just like that?"
Ji Wei walked over and looked at the half-burned curtain hanging there charred black, with even the flowers on the windowsill scorched yellow.
Xia Duoduo twisted her fingers, explaining with a face full of regret, "I just wanted to boil some water for tea. But somehow, the power strip suddenly short-circuited and sparks flew. I was so scared at the time, I panicked and kicked the power strip away, and it ended up hitting the curtains..."
Ji Wei couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her.
In this situation, how could she just kick things around? Fortunately, it didn’t set her own pants on fire.
But you can’t really blame Xia Duoduo, when it comes to common sense in life, she’s as pure as a blank sheet of paper. If Mrs. Xia hadn’t hired a maid to accompany her outside, she wouldn’t last three days on her own.
Seeing Xia Duoduo lowering her head with a very guilty look, Ji Wei sighed helplessly, "The fortunate thing is that you’re fine."
Xia Duoduo lifted her head, worrying, "But what should I do? I turned the apartment into this state. When the Great Demon King returns, he won’t skin me alive?"
Ji Wei glanced at her watch, "There’s still some time now. Let’s hurry up and clean this place up."
At the same time, she pulled out her phone and sent a message to Xi Nanfeng: Second Young Master Xi, there’s something I need your help with, please try to delay Mr. Ye’s return! Thank you.
In the Shanshui Manor restaurant.
Gu Moqian was in a bad mood, and after eating a few bites, he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Xi Nanfeng was eating heartily when suddenly a message popped up on his phone.
He opened it and found it was from Ji Wei.
Why did she want him to hold Old Ye up? Googlᴇ search NoveIＦire.net
After reading the message, Xi Nanfeng was full of suspicion, and couldn’t help but glance in Ye Cheng’s direction.
Tonight was really strange.
Old Ye wouldn’t let him into his house, and now Ji Wei has sent a message saying to hold up Old Ye, what on earth is going on?
"Why are you staring at me?" Ye Cheng sensed his gaze and opened his mouth heavily.
Xi Nanfeng smiled, calmly put his phone back into his pocket, and said meaningfully, "Old Ye, be honest, do you have someone hiding in your house?"
Ye Cheng didn’t expect Xi Nanfeng to suddenly ask this, his expression froze for a moment, but his voice remained flat, "No comment."
Xi Nanfeng had a look of having seen through the truth, "You don’t have to tell me, I know. I’ll go back with you later and see who exactly is in your house. I can bet that eight or nine out of ten it’s a woman!"
"Sorry, I’m sleeping at the office tonight." Ye Cheng coolly tugged his lips.
"Going to the office in the middle of the night, what’s that for?" Xi Nanfeng was frustrated.
Xi Nanfeng nearly choked on these two words, then turned to complain to Gu Moqian, who hadn’t spoken, "Old Mo, look at how fake this guy is, running off to the office in the middle of the night to work overtime? He manages artists, and there’s not a single person in the company now, is he planning to work overtime with his shadow on the wall?"
Gu Moqian, who had been in low spirits all along, just looked at Ye Cheng faintly upon hearing this, then got up, "You guys eat the cake later, I’m going back to the study to deal with some things."
With that, he walked straight out of the restaurant.
With Ji Xiaowei not here, someone’s having such a perfunctory birthday, sigh...
