Chapter 13: She's the Bottom Line

Pei Yu walked down the spiral staircase to the restaurant, and Uncle Liu looked at her with a smile, "Miss Pei, the meals are all set, just now I specially instructed the kitchen to prepare crystal shrimp and stone-ground tofu, which you like to eat." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, you are so polite." Pei Yu has always respected Steward Liu and replied politely.

The first time he was deceived by Ji Baichen to Ji Mansion, Uncle Liu greeted him with cold and warmth, prepared to eat and drink, and did not treat her as an outsider at all.

Pei Yu has been without a mother since she was a child, and Pei Sixian has always been so busy that he has no time to take care of her.

In the past, when Mr. Pei was in good health, the grandparents and grandchildren could sit together, talk and eat, and there was a little family atmosphere at home.

Later, the old man had a cerebral infarction, no one recognized him, collapsed on the bed, and left within two years.

After that, until the accident at the Pei family, Pei Yu basically lived the days of a wild child.

Of course, she has a stepmother.

But that was the beginning of the nightmare.

"Where, I can be regarded as growing up watching Director Pei." Uncle Liu was a little choked up when he said this, he has been a housekeeper in the Ji family for thirty years, watching the Ji family go from majestic to stormy, how many people are eyeing it, and it is not easy for the young master to last until today.

In the Ji family for so many years, he has seen too much.

What kind of girl Pei Yu is, he knows in his heart.

It's just that Chen Duo has no eyesight.

"Miss Pei, don't blame Chen Duo, he grew up with the young master since he was a child, and sometimes he is used to talking to himself." Steward Liu thought about it and defended Chen Duo for a few words.

Pei Yu smiled, "Uncle Liu, I know, it's not the first day I met him." ”

The second minute he heard Ji Baichen's name, Pei Yu knew Chen Duo at the same time.

Just like the Jinyiwei beside the emperor, the Jinyiwei of the Ji family is the loyal Chen family.

Chen Duo has been following Ji Baichen's ass since he was a child.

In Pei Yu's memory, Ji Baichen didn't have the frame of a young master and scholar for Chen Duo, and almost regarded him as a family, let alone get angry at him.

It's just that the only two times were because of her.

The first time, it was because Pei Yu made money in the name of Ji Baichen, and after Chen Duo knew, he was so aggressive that he found her theory the next day, and was scolded back by her, the two competed against each other, Chen Duo almost missed her, and Ji Baichen became angry.

The second time, it was Pei Yu who took the initiative to provoke, and played Chen Duo around, he was so angry that he spoke a little heavily, Ji Baichen had a cold face on the spot, and scolded a few words.

Chen Duo looks like a talent, and he is a little wronged with Ji Baichen, if he takes it out and puts it somewhere else, then he can be chased by a group of girls.

It's a pity that it's a quick temper at a point.

"Sit down and have some hot drinks." Uncle Liu took care of the kitchen while entertaining Pei Yu, since he was a child, Pei Yu was a gentle and educated child, and he always felt that Pei Yu had not changed.

"Uncle Liu, it's okay, I'm not hungry yet, it doesn't matter if you wait, is this a new painting that Mr. Ji bought? I study research. Pei Yu was interested in painting, and she had long been attracted to the past, and she used to be taught that the host was not present at home, and the guests did not sit down.

Even if he doesn't have a good temper with Ji Baichen on weekdays, as long as he goes to the company or outside, he will give him enough face.

"Then feel free to do so, I'll go to the kitchen and look at the soup." Uncle Liu didn't force it, knowing that this little ancestor liked these things since he was a child.

After Ji Baichen changed his clothes, the first thing he did was to call Chen Duo upstairs.

Downstairs, there are a few paintings of the Void School that he just took from Leon, Pei Yu must like it, and he must be standing there and looking at it at this time.

Chen Duo was originally breathing outside the door, so he didn't want to stay in the same space with Pei Yu, and when he received Ji Baichen's news, he could only walk by the hall as if he were flying, trying to pretend that Pei Yu didn't exist.

knocked on the door and went in, Ji Baichen had already changed his clothes, a black suit, he couldn't see the slightest hint of his previous illness, he had already picked up his previous modesty and calmness, and was matching cufflinks.

Seeing him come in, Ji Baichen motioned for him to close the door.

Chen Duo had already thought of his words, in case the young master was held accountable for a while, he couldn't say a word.

"Do you know who Meng Yixuan has come into contact with in the past two days and where she has been?" Ji Baichen knew what he was thinking, and deliberately diverted the topic.

Pei Yu and Chen Duo don't deal with each other, and it's not a day or two.

Besides, if it wasn't Pei Yu who won, Chen Duo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the end.

"Uh...... Since she entered the country, she has been sending people to follow, and her current whereabouts are clear. Chen Duo thought that he would be reprimanded somewhat, but he didn't expect Ji Baichen to be so light-hearted.

"Young master, Chen Duo is outspoken and likes to speak directly, Meng Yixuan was lured here this time to provoke, Ji Ruochen wants to use Pei Yu as a sword, then she is very likely to have been won over by Ji Ruochen to deal with us." Chen Duo couldn't hold back, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.

Ji Baichen hooked his lips, did not refute, his eyes wandered among the various watches, and finally chose the sapphire-based mechanical watch customized by Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Chen Duo couldn't stand this kind of grinding atmosphere, and took a deep breath, "Young Master, I don't think I should bring Director Pei over at night, she obviously ......"

Obviously, it was sent by Ji Ruochen to kill you.

Chen Duo wanted to say this, but he didn't believe that Pei Yu could be so obedient.

Ji Baichen took his watch, his movements were still so elegant that he couldn't speak, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Duo, but he swept it away, "I know." ”

"And you still keep her? I know it's not easy for her, but keeping her by her side is raising a tiger, and you are lowering the bottom line again and again by doing this. Chen Duo spoke bitterly.

Ji Baichen: "She is the bottom line." ”

The implication is that she is the bottom line, and there is nothing that cannot be lowered.

Chen Duo was so shocked that he couldn't speak, feeling like he had been slapped hard.

"Chen Duo," Ji Baichen straightened his collar in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and his tone was serious, "What kind of person do you think she is?" ”

Chen Duo didn't have to be asked like this for no reason, and he was a little confused, "Pei Yu, she ...... Ruthless, hypocritical, and selfish. ”

Ji Baichen smiled lightly and did not completely deny it, and changed the topic: "Then who do you think made her like this?" ”

Chen Duo was speechless, of course all those who persecuted the Pei family.

"So, how kind and selfless does she have to be to live to this day?" Ji Baichen said very softly and slowly, but he slashed Chen Duo's heart with a knife.

"Or is it because when I was a child, I chased her and later saved her, should she be grateful to Dade for not pursuing everything that happened to the Pei family and her, and then clinging to me to get by?"

"Chen Duo, push yourself and others, I am planning exactly the same thing as her, why can't I be able to do it while she can? You're too prejudiced against her. ”

Chen Duo was anxious, "But that's different, young master, you are dedicated to her, but she may defect at any time, just like last night, she ignored you so much, and ...... If she knew....... She'll ......."

If she hears something, she may hate you for the rest of her life.

Chen Duo didn't dare to say.

After being sick all night, although he had just been troubled by Pei Yu, Ji Baichen's spirit was much better, and his face was still bloodless, but when Chen Duo said this, Ji Baichen's face was a little tired, "You think of her simply." ”

Who said that his feathers didn't care at all.

If it wasn't Chen Duo who came last night, she would definitely not stand idly by.

After finishing speaking, Ji Baichen pushed open the door with his slender legs.

"Young master, I just want to know, is it worth it for you to do this?" Chen Duo hung his head, not understanding his young master's obsession and self-confidence at all.

Ji Baichen didn't look back, "I didn't think about it." ”

I didn't think about whether it was worth it or not, I just thought about it for her good.
