“You saved my life. How can you only accept Xiao Chen’s thanks but not mine?” Old Ji pursed his lips as if displeased with Jian Ai’s actions.
Jian Ai was about to explain when an anxious figure pushed open the door and entered.
“Grandpa!”
Ji Haoyu walked like the wind, his steps anxious. Nervousness was written all over his handsome face.
When Old Ji saw the person, he was stunned for a moment before looking at the man in a suit beside him reproachfully. It was obvious that he knew who had informed his grandson.
“Grandpa, are you okay?”
Ji Haoyu changed his usual foppish attitude and had a rare look of seriousness on his face. His eyes sized up Old Ji as if confirming that his grandfather was fine.
“I’m fine. Don’t make a fuss.” Old Ji waved his hand.
Jian Ai and Wang Yunmei were shocked when they saw the person. Wasn’t this Young Master Ji from the Ji Group? And this old man was called Old Ji. He was Ji Haoyu’s grandfather!
At this moment, Chen Lei went forward with a smile. “Young Master Ji, I didn’t receive Old Ji well. Fortunately, I met this young lady, so nothing happened.”
Ji Haoyu looked up when he heard this. He saw Jian Ai at a glance and then looked at Wang Yunmei. Surprise flashed across his deep peach blossom eyes. Then, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a faint smile. “It’s you guys!”
In just tens of seconds, the anxious man, who was worried about his grandfather, had instantly disappeared. At that moment, Ji Haoyu, who was in front of them, had transformed into the wild Young Master Ji. His switch was so natural that it made one smack their lips.
“Haoyu, do you know them?” Old Ji frowned in disbelief.
Ji Haoyu chuckled and nodded. “Grandfather, do you still remember what I told you this morning about what happened at Yaochi last night? The person in front of you is Yaochi’s new general manager. Her name is…”
As he spoke, Ji Haoyu frowned and thought for a moment. He muttered, “What was it called again?”
“Young Master Ji, my name is Wang Yunmei!” Wang Yunmei naturally heard Young Master Ji’s words and quickly answered.
“Oh, that’s right. Everyone in Yaochi calls her Sister Mei. She’s been working there for more than ten years,” Ji Haoyu said.
When Old Ji heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Wang Yunmei with admiration and nod. “I’ve heard about what happened yesterday. With such a mother, it’s no wonder that your daughter is so outstanding.”
“Grandpa Ji, you said that you wanted to thank me just now. Let my mother leave Yaochi!” Jian Ai seemed to have found an opportunity to say the words she didn’t say to Ji Haoyu last night. “I believe that Young Master Ji only had a moment of interest last night. It might be just a joke.”
“A joke?” Old Ji couldn’t help but laugh when he heard that. He looked at Jian Ai and said, “Little girl, do you think that my grandson would let someone be the general manager of Yaochi just because of a joke? You’re looking down on him too much!”
As he spoke, Old Ji stood up and walked to Jian Ai. “Girl, Yaochi is the Ji Group’s business. The position of general manager is indisputable in Yaochi, and one’s annual salary is several hundred thousand yuan. It’s a lucrative job. Haoyu told me everything that happened yesterday. Someone caused trouble in Yaochi, but only your mother stood up to stop him without fear. She was even injured because of this. Although this grandson of mine looks a little out of line on the surface, that’s because you don’t understand him. There are some things he knows better than anyone else.”
