Chapter 673: Recognized? (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the way to see Matriarch Wei, Pei Jiao was still imagining if Matriarch Wei was an old lady that was difficult to deal with. Or could she be a kind grandma, as Wei Yu had said? Suddenly feeling that she was thinking too much, Pei Jiao immediately abandoned these unnecessary worries in her mind.
Regardless of whether that old lady was fierce or kind, this was the only time. She just had to deal with it. There was no need to think too much.
Pei Jiao had already followed Wei Yu to the waiting place. When she arrived, she realized that she and Wei Yu were not the only ones who came to welcome her. Minister Lin and Wen Qiong were also here. Pei Jiao did not feel surprised. The Wei family still had a certain status in the capital, so it was normal for them to be valued.
Although she thought so, she still had to show a little curiosity on the surface. She tugged at Wei Yu t s sleeve and asked him in a low voice, “Wei Yu, is your grandma a very powerful person? Even Minister Lin came out to welcome her personally.”
“It’s not a big shot. We’re familiar with each other,” Wei Yu explained.
Pei Jiao looked enlightened. “l see. Seeing Minister Lin’s serious expression, I thought your Grandma was a big shot.”
With that, Pei Jiao asked curiously, “Wei Yu, tell me the truth. Is your family very rich?”
Wei Yu fell silent. The Wei family was famous in the capital. If one asked around in the capital, they would know about the Wei family. However, Pei Jiao did not know, nor was she familiar with the so-called Wei family.
How should he answer?
“Wei Yu, a car is driving in. Look, is it your grandma’s car?” Pei Jiao’s voice interrupted Wei Yu’s thoughts and ended the topic. Wei Yu did not think much of it and looked up at the door.
After seeing the car clearly, Wei Yu said to Pei Jiao, “Yes, Grandma is here.” As he said this, Wei Yu subconsciously tightened his grip on Pei Jiao’s hand.
Pei Jiao looked down at it and then at Wei Yu. There was an indescribable subtlety in her heart. She attributed it to the fact that she was really experiencing the scene of meeting her parents, so it made sense for her to feel subtle.
The car drove in.
Wei Yu held Pei Jiao’s hand and walked over. Pei Jiao stood still and Wei Yu
looked sideways at her. Pei Jiao said, “It’s not good for me to go forward directly. Go and welcome your Grandma first.”
Wei Yu understood what she meant. He nodded, let go of her hand, and walked over. After Wei Yu passed, Wen Qiong walked over. She stood beside Pei Jiao and gently nudged her with her elbow. “Tell me how you feel now.”
Pei Jiao calmly adjusted her expression and made a shy reaction, pretending not to understand. “What?”
“Silly girl,” Wen Qiong scolded her with a smile. Then, she said, “l saw you and Wei Yu get together with my own eyes.”
Pei Jiao bit her lip and smiled shyly. Seeing Pei Jiao smile so happily, Wen Qiong couldn’t help but sigh. “Actually, in retrospect, the scene that night was a little similar to tonight. However, it rained that night and Wei Yu brought you into the base just like that.”
When she mentioned this, Wen Qiongs face was full of smiles. “At that time, you were covered in injuries and your clothes were tattered. I was the one who changed your clothes.”
Pei Jiao turned to look at Wen Qiong. “Thank you, Wen Qiong.”
Wen Qiong gently patted Pei Jiao’s arm. “I’m saying this to remind you of the scene, not to ask you to thank me. Don’t say thank you again.”
Pei Jiao pursed her lips. “l know, but I suddenly realized that it seems like so long. I always owe you a thank you.”
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.” Wen Qiong smiled bitterly. “At that time, only I could change your clothes. No one else could have done this. Besides…
At the mention of something else, Wen Qiongs expression became slightly more serious than before. She said to Pei Jiao, “l really hope that you and Wei Yu will continue to be like this. I’m waiting to attend your wedding banquet.”
Pei Jiao’s face turned red. “This is nothing. We just, just, just started dating.” “It’s been more than a month since you’ve started dating,” Wen Qiong said.
Pei Jiao shook her head. “No, no.” She quickly made it clear. “It’s me who’s been at the base for more than a month. I haven’t been in a relationship with him for more than a month.’
Seeing Pei Jiao explain so seriously, Wen Qiong couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I know.”
At this moment, Matriarch Wei was already getting out of the car. Wen Qiong pulled Pei Jiao. “Let’s go and see Matriarch Wei.”
Pei Jiao nodded and felt that it was more suitable to go forward with Wen
Qiong. If she had met her with Wei Yu just now, she would definitely have looked very anxious. Just as she was about to approach, when Pei Jiao saw Matriarch Wei’s appearance clearly, the expression on her face almost cracked. She stopped short.
Beside her, Wen Qiong asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Pei Jiao reacted quickly and said, “Wen Qiong, Wen Qiong, I-I think my period is here.’
They were all women, so Wen Qiong understood Pei Jiao’s words. “Then go back first. It won’t be good if you get it on your pants later.”
“Yes, yes.” Pei Jiao nodded. “This is the first time I’ve seen Wei Yu’s grandma today. I can’t embarrass myself in front of her. I have to go back and change quickly.”
Wen Qiong asked her, “Do you want me to accompany you?”
“There’s no need.” Pei Jiao smiled reluctantly. “I’ll go back myself. I’ll have to trouble you to help me tell Wei Yu.”
Wen Qiong nodded. “Yes, that’s fine. Then go back quickly.”
Pei Jiao frowned and turned to leave. She walked quickly, walking almost at a trot. She didn’t dare breathe hard until she’d run back to the accommodation building and closed the door. After calming down, Pei Jiao pinched her cheek and muttered to herself in frustration, “How could I forget that I’ve seen
Grandma Wei Yu before? Damn, I almost went back to before I was liberated.’
She did not dare to imagine what would happen if Grandma Wei recognized her as Pei Jiao, the fiancée he had personally rejected. If she wasn’t at the base, she could have run away. But this was the base, not a place where she could run away just because she wanted to. She had really been scared out of her wits just now. She paced back and forth, thinking about her next countermeasure.
According to Ji He, if Wei Yu’s Grandma was really here for her and wanted to see her, she would definitely recognize her on the spot. But if she avoided Wei Yu t s grandma, it seemed even more fishy.
Just as Pei Jiao was racking her brains to think of a solution, there was a knock on the door. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was startled by a sudden knock on the door. She whirled around to look at it.
Was Wei Yu back? Or did Wei Yu bring his Grandma along? They shouldn’t have come together so quickly…?
Pei Jiao’s heart was in her throat, and she was extremely nervous.
“Fei Yi?” When the knocking stopped, she heard Yu calling her from outside. Pei Jiao swallowed and did not respond. She went to the bathroom and closed the door before locking it. When Wei Yu came in, she listened carefully for footsteps.
It seemed that… he was alone.
Just as she heaved a sigh of relief and was about to come out, she suddenly heard Matriarch Wei’s voice ask, “Didn’t you say that the little girl is back?”
Pei Jiao instantly retracted her hand from the doorknob as if she had been electrocuted..
