Chapter 244: Onboard the Pirate Ship

e feelings of a stranger."Now go and make a detailed count, big and small, of all the projects Mo Gao has been involved in over the past six months, including lists of partners...""Dig up all his secr..."Come over here quickly, my dad is going out soon and you won't be able to see him anymore..." Pei Yi, that little guy, shouted in a high-pitched voice, then hung up the phone very coolly.

Zhu Xiao Wei was very depressed. This sounded a bit ambiguous for some reason.

She was thus coaxed and deceived by a five-year-old child into hurriedly going to the Pei family. The Pei family was considered a scholarly family, with their compound not as intimidating as the Jun family's. It was located on the outskirts of the city in the west, where the environment was fresh and quiet. It was a traditional Chinese courtyard house. She stood at this retro vermilion gate, hesitantly knocking on it.

It is said that Pei Haoran's grandfather was once awarded a lifetime professorship at Princeton University, but during the turmoil of war, he resolutely gave up the high salary abroad and returned to China to support the country. He made significant contributions to the then-backward scientific research. Both of Pei Haoran's parents are also professors at renowned universities in China.

This ancient and charming Pei residence, Zhu Xiaowei stood honestly at the door waiting. She was daydreaming, wondering if perhaps a meticulously trained maidservant from the national period would come out to open the door for her.

As it turned out, Zhu Xiaowei had overthought things.

She stood there, dumbstruck at the vermilion gate, pounding on it frantically but getting no answer.

Finally, she discovered a communication button on the right side of the door. She pressed it weakly. Even this ancient-style courtyard had kept up with the times and used electronic technology.

Finally, she heard some approaching footsteps, and then the heavy door creaked open. She stared in surprise at the man before her.

Zhu Xiaowei's brain short-circuited all of a sudden, forgetting to greet the other person, and just stared blankly at them.

"Are you lost" Pei Haoran felt this woman was strange.

He had some dealings with Zhu Xiaowei and naturally knew she was Qiao Bao'er's good friend. Besides, he had a project collaboration with the &am;am; Group before, and Zhu Xiaowei was also involved. Once, during a meeting, he suffered from stomach pain, and she even went to buy medicine for him and secretly placed it on his desk.

But overall, he doesn't know her well.

"Miss Zhu, what brings you to my humble abode" Pei Haoran's words were direct and somewhat awkward.

Zhu Xiaowei's face was awkward, and she wanted to complain internally. What a humble abode Your home is called a humble abode Wouldn't my house be a pigsty then She just didn't expect Young Master Pei to open the door for her personally.

Pei Haoran looks very polite and cultured, but in reality, he's actually very cunning. I know this firsthand.

"How is Jun Zhi Mu doing now" Zhu Xiaowei was straightforward and went straight to the point.

He is in Seattle.

Pei Haoran didn't hide it from her, and directly said a place name.

"I know he's in Seattle, I mean, when will Jun Zhi Mu come back Is his illness really that serious…"

Pei Haoran cut her off, his tone turning colder. "Miss Zhu, since you know Jun Zhimu is not an ordinary person, you must also know that his illness cannot be discussed casually, as it could affect the group's stock price at any time, which involves astronomical figures."

Zhu Xiaowei, hearing his lecturing tone, lowered her head sheepishly.

If the head of the Junzhi herd truly fell ill, it would undoubtedly impact the entire &am;am; Group. Some things are indeed not something that can be spoken casually.

"Miss Zhu, turn left and walk straight ahead to reach the national highway. If you get lost, please open your navigation system. Walk slowly and goodbye."

Pei Haoran didn't want to say more to her. He coldly threw out a sentence and shut the door directly.

Zhu Xiaowei clearly saw that the other party was unwilling to chat with her any longer. She watched blankly as he ruthlessly closed the heavy door, and suddenly, she was furious. These upper-class people always put on such airs of superiority.

"Joe's child is gone!" she cried out in anger.

Pei Haoran at the door stopped his movement when he heard her words.

He didn't speak right away, his brow slightly furrowed with fatigue. In fact, he had just flown back from Seattle and had only just learned about this.

Jo Bao'er's twins are gone.

His mood was also heavy, almost disbelief, but listening to the report of the facts was so cruel.

Zhu XiaoWei saw that he was unmoved, and became even more agitated, "Such a big thing happened to Qiao Baor, don't you guys know anything at all It's been almost half a month, and the Jun family hasn't said a word. Where is Jun ZhiMu Please, if you can get in touch with Jun ZhiMu, tell him that Qiao Baor really wants to see him."

Pei Haoran watched the woman in front of him, her eyes red with urgency.

He rubbed his temples wearily and said in a flat tone, "I can't help you with this."

"Jun's shepherd is currently unable to return from Seattle."

"When will he be back then Really three months What if he never comes back! Even if Jun Zhimu really has something and can't come back for now, at least he could make a phone call, send a text message, or have a video chat on WeChat..."

Zhu Xiaowei became increasingly angry, shouting and cursing, "This is his wife and child, how could he be so heartless."

Pei Haoran felt very irritable listening to her accusations and insults.

He coldly issued an order to expel her, "Miss Zhu, you have no right to meddle in these matters. Please leave immediately."

"Pei Haoran, don't put on that airs. I may not come from the same background as you, but I'm not stupid!"

Zhu Xiaowei, hearing him utter these cold and ruthless words, became even angrier. Her eyes welled up with tears, but she bit her lip and held them back. Her bright eyes glared fiercely at him.

"I don't believe Junzhi Mu is seriously ill and can't recover. Junzhi Mu, a man who stands at the top and looks down upon the filth and ugliness of power, understands strategy better than anyone. He wouldn't fight unprepared. Don't try to fool me by saying he had an accident and can't come back. He just doesn't want to come back!"

Pei Haoran was stunned. He didn't expect this soft woman to say such words.

Zhu Xiaowei's face was tight, her heart cold.

She will never look for them again, nor will she inquire about Junzhi's news. After all, time is the best medicine, Qiao Bao'er will get better eventually. By then, it will be a clean break, with no further contact.

She no longer looked at Pei Haoran, and turned to leave.

Pei Haoran stared at her in astonishment. This woman was actually so angry. Seeing her just turn and walk away, he suddenly felt like he should say something, opening his lips and hesitating...

At this moment, a small figure rushed out of the house. A pair of small, white hands grabbed onto Zhu Xiaowei's pants, preventing her from leaving.

Zhu Xiaowei stopped her steps, she looked down at the little creature with a blank expression.

Pei Yi ignored her, continuing to hold on tightly. The little one turned her head and shouted towards the door with a small neck, "Daddy, this is the nanny I found. She can cook for both of us!"

Nanny

Who wants to be your family's maid!

Zhu Xiaowei turned her head to look at Pei Haoran over there, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious. However, Pei Haoran completely ignored her, as if he were seriously considering his son's advice.

Pei Yi knew her father's temper quite well, so she took the opportunity to persuade him, "Grandpa and grandma have gone abroad as guest professors, and no one cooks for us anymore. Since we need to hire someone anyway, just bear with her."

Little Head thought for a moment and added, "She's pitiful; she doesn't have a job."

"Xiao Yi, thank you so much!"

Zhu Xiaowei lowered her head and glared angrily at Pei Yi, this little guy. She gritted her teeth and thanked him, she found that both father and son weren't good people!

She looked up and forced a fake smile at Pei Haoran, "Thank you very much for your recognition, Mr. Pei. I feel inadequate for this role. Goodbye!" She emphasized the last word with a raised tone.

No, it should never be seen again, hmph.

She is also ambitious!

Unfortunately, Zhu Xiaowei's determination only lasted for a minute, just one minute....

Pei Haoran's phone suddenly rang. He asked into the receiver, "Zhi Mu just woke up!" Then he hung up after a few short sentences. It wasn't clear what he was talking about, but Zhu Xiaowei was sure he was on the phone with the old man from the Jun family.es, watching the necklace fly through the air and then vanish…It seemed fated, as if he were grasping at nothing in the air. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold onto what he wanted.Bang—"Dad...
