270 I Came to See You
Li Zhe stood up and slowly approached Meng Yu, his eyes fixed on him, and his voice a little bewitching. He asked gently, “Why do you think I rushed over here?”
Meng Yu gently pushed Li Zhe away from him and lowered his head to avoid Li Zhe’s gaze. He feigned calmness and said, “Of course it’s due to your concern and worry for your uncle.”
Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu, who was avoiding him, and sighed helplessly. He then stood up and replied, “You’re always like this, hiding from me like you’re hiding from a monster. Tell me, how long have you been in Rong City? How long have we not seen each other? You clearly know that I’m here to see you, yet you’re saying something else to anger me.”
Meng Yu sat up straight and regained his warm and smiling appearance, pouring a cup of tea for the travel-worn Li Zhe.
!!
Li Zhe looked at the distant Meng Yu and felt angry. He plonked on the sofa and huffed, “Boring!”
Meng Yu handed over the cup of tea and said indifferently, “Have a cup of tea and calm your mind.”
Li Zhe stared at Meng Yu’s fingers that were holding the teacup, then quickly leaned forward, opened his mouth, and caught the teacup in his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Meng Yu’s face, and then, with an extremely seductive move, he raised his head and slowly drank the tea in Meng Yu’s hand.
Li Zhe’s action of swallowing his tea, and his constantly bobbing Adam’s apple caused Meng Yu’s body to suddenly stiffen, and he turned his face away unnaturally.
Li Zhe chuckled after finishing his tea. He looked at his masterstroke with satisfaction, then sat on the sofa like a boss and crossed his legs leisurely.
Li Zhe felt that Meng Yu had to be treated this way. Otherwise, he would always not take him to heart, making him feel very aggrieved.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get my secretary to buy you plane tickets home,” Meng Yu said, putting down the teacup.
Li Zhe felt anxious. He had just arrived, and Meng Yu actually wanted to chase him away?
Li Zhe snorted. “Who said there’s nothing else? My uncle is still in Rong City. I promised my grandfather that I would bring him back safely. Besides, my uncle’s granddaughter is also in Rong City. I have to see her since I’m here.”
With a smile on his face, Meng Yu nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare a hotel for you.”
Li Zhe put an arm around Meng Yu’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Why do you need to prepare a hotel? We’re so close; I’ll just stay with you.”
Meng Yu pushed Li Zhe’s hand away, still smiling gently. “It’s not appropriate. I still prefer to stay by myself.”
With that, Meng Yu called his secretary and arranged for Li Zhe’s reception.
Li Zhe’s shoulders drooped weakly, and he felt very bitter. He didn’t know when he would be able to tear apart Meng Yu’s ever-constant fake smile and make Meng Yu reveal his true nature, just like before.
The vibration of his phone interrupted Li Zhe’s thoughts. He picked up the phone and a distressed voice came from the other end.
“Brother Zhe, how’s my grandfather? Why did Young Master get someone to bring my grandfather over?” Li Jin asked Li Zhe in a panic.
As soon as school had ended, Li Jin received a message from her family saying that Young Master Guan had ordered someone to kidnap her grandfather. Her family had asked Li Zhe to come over and deal with it.
Li Jin wanted to find Guan Lei and ask him about it, but she was helpless. Guan Lei had already pulled Shen Xi away and disappeared without a trace.
She called Guan Lei, but no one picked up. She was afraid that Guan Lei would think that she was a stranger, so she specially sent him a message saying that she was Li Jin. In the end, Guan Lei actually blocked her.
When her grandfather was being carried away, he did not bring his cell phone with him, and she could not contact him.
Helpless, Li Jin could only call Li Zhe to ask him about it.
“It’s fine,” Li Zhe replied. “Guan Lei just wants your grandfather to give advice on drawing skills. When he’s done, he’ll send your grandfather back to Beijing.”
Only upon hearing Li Zhe’s reply did Li Jin feel at ease.
After hanging up, it came to Li Jin’s mind that the person Guan Lei had asked her grandfather to guide was probably Shen Xi.
Li Jin had also been present when Shen Xi had made the bet with Jiang Xue.
In all honesty, Li Jin didn’t actually want Shen Xi to win. Everyone in the capital knew that Grandpa Guan was obsessed with painting. If Shen Xi were to have some achievements in painting, Grandpa Guan would definitely like her a lot.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi, who had been dragged away by Guan Lei the moment school ended, was looking at the white-haired and disheveled old man in front of her with an embarrassed expression, not knowing what to say.
Shen Xi did not really listen to Guan Lei’s happy introduction. Her eyes were only focused on the old man’s toes, which had no place to rest.
Anyway, from what Guan Lei said, this old man was a great artist in Beijing, a master level one.
