Chapter 68 - Thinks so highly of me (1/2)
When He Yi came back, her face was a little pale. Seeing Wei Jiameng rushing over, she said lightly, “Wan Wan went to learn piano. She won’t be back for dinner tonight.”
“Oh!” Wei Jiameng probably saw that He Yi was in a bad mood, so she didn’t ask further.
“Did you bring the thing back?” As He Yi spoke, she raised her eyes and saw Fang Yu. She could not help frowning, and her expression quickly turned cold.
Fang Yu knew that he was not welcome. He quickly put on a smile and took the initiative to greet her. “Hi, Miss He, we meet again!”
He Yi ignored him and looked coldly at Wei Jiameng. “It was you who brought him here!”
It was an affirmation. Her tone was very displeased.
Wei Jiameng quickly explained, “It was fortunate that young master Fang helped me today. I hitched a ride back from such a remote place in the northern suburbs. He even helped me carry the plastic bucket in. I have to thank him, so I let him have a cup of tea.”
Initially, she wanted to let Fang Yu stay for dinner, but seeing that He Yi was in a bad mood and had always had a deep prejudice against those who were related to the Chu family, she did not dare to say anything.
“Oh!” a cold glint flashed across He Yi’s clear eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “What a coincidence!”
“It’s all thanks to young master Fang’s help today. He’s a very good person. Miss Wen and Miss Fang wanted him to throw me and the things in the bucket out of the car along the way. He ignored them and insisted on bringing me back.” Wei Jiameng tried her best to defend Fang Yu, to prove that he was a good person with a conscience and a sense of justice.
He Yi’s expression became more and more complicated, and her tone was full of rumination and contemplation. “Wen Siling and Fang Yuan were also in the car?”
“They both left.” Wei Jiameng quickly replied. “Just because young master Fang refused to hand me over to those two women, Miss Wen got angry and left halfway. Miss Fang followed her.”
Fang Yu realized that He Yi was sizing him up again. He quickly puffed out his chest and raised his head. He smiled fully, displaying his charm.
After a long while, He Yi opened his mouth to ask Wei Jiameng again. Her tone became much gentler, “They didn’t ask you what was in the bucket?”
“Of course they did.” Wei Jiameng felt wronged. “They heard it was wild pigeon feces. Miss Wen wanted to throw me and that thing away on the spot. Fortunately, Young Master Fang was kind and didn’t listen to them!”
Wei Jiameng had said so much to prove Fang Yu’s various good points. However, He Yi’s main point seemed to be different from what she was expressing.
“They didn’t snatch the thing in the bucket?” He Yi was somewhat puzzled.
“Uh!” Wei Jiameng was even more puzzled. “They… how could they snatch that thing!”
‘How could the two noble ladies be interested in wild pigeon dung!’
He Yi stared at Wei Jiameng for a while and confirmed that nothing that she had imagined had happened. The puzzle in her heart had not been solved, and she could not figure it out.
“Ahem!” Fang Yu realized sadly that in He Yi’s eyes, he was not as attractive as that bucket of wild pigeon feces. To increase his presence, he had to cough heavily to remind her that he was still alive.
He Yi then forced a smile and said politely, “Thank you, Young Master Fang.”
“You’re welcome, it’s no trouble at all!” Fang Yu took the opportunity to take two steps closer to He Yi, only to find a little girl standing in the middle. “Whose child is so… cute!” ‘A child being in the way was so annoying.’
Wei Jiameng immediately became very nervous and stuttered, “This, this, this is my daughter, her name is, is, is called Ge Ge!”
