Chapter 121 - Brother-In-Law Is Meticulous (1/2)

From Wednesday night to Sunday morning, Xu Mey and Ye Jie stayed in Imperial City. Since Ye Jie took special care of Xu Mey, her ankle was much better. Both of them drove back to City Star and reached the Peach Estates in the afternoon.

When they set foot inside the house, Xu Mey entered her study room and asked Ye Jie to not disturb her at all. She had been away from work for the whole week and she had much to catch up on. Vintage was opening stores in Paris and she had to see the design plans and business plans herself to feel assured.

Ye Jie had just finished up taking a shower when he heard the doorbell and he had to come downstairs. The person standing at the door was not grinning like usual instead he had a black face filled with a grievance. "Bro, how can you do this to me? Why didn't you tell me that you came back? I had so much to tell you. There are so many things that happened while you were gone. Sis-in-law got hurt but that's just one thing, more shocking thing is-" He was interrupted when Ye Jie held his lips to make him shut up.

"You knew about your sister-in-law's injury and you didn't bother telling me about it?" That was the only thing that caught Ye Jie's attention.

Ye Jun felt wronged and hurriedly said, "I wanted to tell you. Believe me! But sis-in-law didn't allow me to."

"She said and you listened?" Ye Jie was most familiar with his brother and he knew how much Ye Jun avoided being obedient.

"Bro, she said that if I will tell you then you'll be worried for no reason at all. When she put it this way, I had to listen to her." Ye Jun was desperately trying to make his brother believe him.

"Jun," Ye Jie slapped the back of his head making him wince in pain and said, "stop making excuses to me."

Ye Jie's insinuation broke Ye Jun's heart and he humphed before turning away to leave and yet halted a few steps away from the door. "I was going to tell you a shocking discovery about sis-in-law but now, I won't say a word." Ye Jun turned his head away from Ye Jie and instead of walking towards the door came back inside to sprawl on the couch.

Ye Jie neither noticed on his words nor on his actions and ascended the stairs to dry his wet hair. Ye Jun looked around when he heard a door's sound. "Oh look, it's my most cunning sis-in-law." Ye Jun whisper-yelled looking at Xu Mey making her perplexed.

Seeing her confused look, Ye Jun added, "I never thought that my sis-in-law would be inexplicably precocious."

Xu Mey squinted her eyes and awkwardly said, "Thank you!"

"Don't just thank me yet..." He looked around to see whether his brother was around or not and after confirming that Ye Jie was still upstairs said, "President Xu."

Xu Mey's body stiffened as her eyes widened. She turned to see him crossing his arms over his chest with wrinkles on his forehead. "How did...?" She didn't know how to say it but Ye Jun was meticulous today.

"When the next time you so flamboyantly walk on the golf course and throw something at someone's face like a slap and a bracelet, do take note of your surroundings." Ye Jun was perceptibly amused to see that blanched look on Xu Mey's face. She remembered the tandem of people on the golfing ground but she really didn't pay attention to anyone there. How would she know that Ye Jun had some connection with Master Shuang?"

"Did you tell your...?" She again didn't complete the question.

"I was planning on telling brother but then I thought you should be the one to tell him not me." He lied with a rightful stance. He only planned to not tell when Ye Jie slapped his head for no reason. But he didn't want to accept that reason before Xu Mey at all.

When they both heard a door's sound from upstairs, Xu Mey had to drag Ye Jun to her own study room. She locked the door and turned to look at him. "How do you know him?" She was referring to Fu Shuang and even Ye Jun understood that.
