Hearing the word base, Pei Jiao suddenly perked up. Although she was not sure what base this was, she had confirmed her location when Beike clearly said the word base.
“Impressive,” Pei Jiao praised. “This is really a base.”
Beike got carried away by the praise. “If I wasn’t powerful, how could I be your senior brother?”
Pei Jiao’s expression fell. “Forget it. You’re setting me up. But now that you’ve confirmed my location, remember not to look for me rashly. Wait for my message. Also, don’t reply to any messages from this number or call again.”
Beike: know, but can you tell me about your current situation? Do you know how worried I was about you…”
Beep, beep, beep…
Pei Jiao had already hung up. She deleted all the records and the map profile she’d just taken. Then she placed her phone on the cabinet and went to bed with trepidation.
The next day, Pei Jiao left very early. She did not tell Wei Yu in advance. Instead, she went straight to Wen Qiong and asked about Matriarch Wei’s residence. Minister Lin had arranged a specific residence for Matriarch Wei. It was actually on Minister Lin’s side. The location was very bright, and Matriarch Wei was very comfortable living there.
Along the way, Wen Qiong took advantage of the fact that there was no one else around to mention last night. “l haven’t told anyone.”
Pei Jiao looked calm. “Thank you.”
Wen Qiong slowed down. “But I don’t know when I’ll say it.”
Pei Jiao’s reaction was indifferent. “It’s okay. Wei Yu will find out sooner or later.’
“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll be angry and fall out with you?” This was what Wen Qiong thought might happen.
However, Pei Jiao did not care. She also slowed down and walked level with
Wen Qiong. “That’s my personality. If I like someone, I’ll chase them boldly. When I have Wei Yu, there’s nothing to worry about. If you had discovered my identity a month ago, I would probably have been worried that you would tell Wei Yu.”
These words stunned Wen Qiong. That’s right, Wen Qiong believed her. Actually, she had believed most of it last night. With Pei Jiao’s words this morning, she was certain that Pei Jiao did not have any ill intentions. She was just a girl who was bold enough to chase after her lover.
Wen Qiong couldn’t help but sigh. “It’s rare to see a girl like you boldly and passionately pursuing someone you like.”
Pei Jiao endured this praise. “It’s alright. I must like him very much to do this. It’s not worth the risk if I don’t.’
“That’s true.” Wen Qiong agreed. When they arrived at Matriarch Wei’s residence, Wen Qiong said to Pei Jiao, “This is it.”
“Thank you, Wen Qiong, but I want to talk to Matriarch Wei alone,” Pei Jiao said more reservedly.
Wen Qiong naturally understood what Pei Jiao meant. “Alright, I’ll go have breakfast first.’
Pei Jiao nodded. After watching Wen Qiong leave, Pei Jiao raised her hand and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties. She sized Pei Jiao up and asked, “You are?”
Pei Jiao introduced herself. “I’m Wei Yu’s girlfriend, Fei Yi.”
That woman was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect the person the Matriarch was especially anxious to see last night to come so early today.
“Please come in.” The woman did not dare to be negligent. Knowing that Matriarch Wei was here to see her, she welcomed her in first.
Pei Jiao smiled and replied gently, “Thank you..”
