The housekeeper, with a headache, called for someone to come over and clean up the dog urine on the floor, while Wei Xi calmly watched the fat dog twist its butt and run away, turning a corner and escaping from his sight.
He turned away regretfully.
Lu Wenqing didn’t want to stay long, so he prepared to leave him and Tuan Tuanyi. When leaving, Wei Xi suddenly noticed the eyes staring at him from the back seat of the car. When he looked keenly, Shuo Zong turned his head away without saying a word, with a complex and solemn expression.
All that was left was Tuan Tunayi holding the basket on his back and looking confused.
His appearance and dress were very unusual. He was a master who would make people subconsciously cover their wallets when walking on the street. The housekeeper resisted the urge to call the security guard and glanced at him several times. Wei Xi explained: “This is Tuan Tuanyi, one of my great disciples.”
Suddenly coming to a completely unfamiliar place, he was not afraid at all. Even when he first entered Beijing in the morning, he was more wary than afraid. After all, he had a very clear positioning in the food chain. These strangers in front of him were no different than potatoes to him.
Just use the same method to deal with them as he did with weasels, and they would all be the younger brothers of this mountain king from now on.
Wei Xi calmly ordered: “Go and find a room for him and me to rest.”
Housekeeper:”……………………?”
The housekeeper’s surname was Zhou. He had worked in the Wei family for nearly twenty years and had almost watched the Wei brothers grow up. In his memory, he had never been bossed around by the eldest son in this way, but the second son’s words in this tone were not bad.
This was not surprising. After his biological mother passed away and his father married another woman where he got a half-brother very quickly, Wei Xi, the eldest son of the Wei family, had always been in an embarrassing position in the Wei family. Although his father, Wei Tianyi, was the top leader of the Wei family, he was busy with his career and rarely cared about the lives of his two sons. His stepmother, Shu Wanrong, was usually nice to him, but after all, he was not born from her own belly, so she had always been wary and estranged in private. In the Wei family, only his younger brother Wei Chengshu could truly live without scruples, and even the dogs he raised could run rampant without restraint. Wei Xi, on the other hand, seemed to have learned how to read people’s faces at a very young age. He had a very tolerant and humble personality. He was always polite to the domestic helpers like them. Even if he was ignored or frightened by the dogs, he usually smiled and never pursued it. Or maybe he didn’t have the confidence to pursue it.
Butler Zhou also usually treated the two young masters differently. So, when he heard Wei Xi’s words, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable. However, after careful calculation, the other party was indeed one of his bosses, and there was no room for him to refuse either polite or rude instructions. Therefore, he could only smile and obey: “Okay, I will ask someone to show Mr. Tuan to a guest room right now.”
He led the way, and Wei Xi followed calmly, scanning the surroundings with a dark and unpredictable expression. This was very different from his old way of greeting everyone with a smile, and he also did not take the initiative to say hello to the people he met on the way, in fact he didn’t even give them a look.
Butler Zhou was confused at first, and then finally felt that something was wrong. He accidentally caught Wei Xi’s gaze while looking back several times, and a cold sweat broke out down his back unknowingly.
He didn’t have any wild suspicions. After all, although Wei Xi’s temperament was much sharper, his facial features were no different from before, and the attitude he showed when following him was not unfamiliar, but he still couldn’t help but speculate about the disappearance of the other party. What happened in these few months that actually transformed a young man who was carelessly kneaded and had a doughy personality into what he was now.
At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat, but he didn’t dare to be careless. He even took the initiative to open the door for Wei Xi and explained: “You haven’t been home for several months, so no one dares to enter your room. There may be some dust in it, I’ll ask an aunt to clean it.”
Of course what he said was a lie. Something like not cleaning the room for several months while the master was away would never happen to other members of the Wei family. Fortunately, Wei Xi didn’t know this clearly, so he just hummed casually and continued to give orders very naturally: “Take my apprentice to rest and send some food over by the way.”
Eating in the room was something that this well-behaved young master had never asked for. Housekeeper Zhou wiped his sweat and agreed several times. After finishing the arrangements, he hurriedly ran downstairs and caught the aunt responsible for housework and taught her a lesson: “Look at how dusty the young master’s room is! You have been lazy and not cleaning it for so long, do you still want to work here?”
The aunt was confused and said to herself that it’s not the first time you’ve known about the fact that I haven’t cleaned the room in the past few months. Why are you suddenly coming here to scold me now?
….
Wei Xi looked at the room he entered, and there were some things he could understand. For example, it was small in size, facing south, and light in color. The overall furnishings showed that the owner of the house did not want to compete with others. But there were many things that he couldn’t understand. For example, the magical weapon on the table next to the wall was very similar to the magical weapon that first provoked and was then defeated by him in the Lin family, but it was slightly smaller in shape.
Wei Xi had a very unfavorable impression of this thing. To prevent the other party from biting suddenly, he avoided walking around in disgust, walked to a bookcase by the window, and randomly pulled out a book.
He was literate, maybe because he was a Taoist, but he had understood these things since he was conscious.
But somehow this book, although the font was clear and neat, was lacking in formatting. Although it generally followed the original words, it still made people have a headache when reading. Wei Xi read a few pages and felt that the content was not interesting, so he changed to another one. This time it was a book with snow-white paper. There were no articles written on it, but only black and white paintings. The brush strokes of the paintings were simple, but the paintings were lifelike. From beginning to end, it was the same young girl with a beautiful face. There were also words and symbols recorded in the lower right corner of each painting. Wei Xi couldn’t recognize the symbol, but based on the context, he could probably guess that it was used to count quantities, so Wei Xi guessed and figured out that the last one said something like –
“On May 17, 2018, I drew it quietly for Wang Yue who was looking at the sky in front of the art museum. Yue Yue, your smile is more dazzling than the midsummer sun. At this moment, there are still 338 days before our engagement.”
