Blazing!
Bai Lie!
This was the second time Xu Wei had seen Bai Lie. After she was forced into a miscarriage, she lied on the bed for a long time, and it was this Lie who came to deliver some food to her. Later on, she took advantage of his inattention and secretly drove his car, causing her to be injured and almost lose her life.
Lie Zi was one of the people Yun Zhen'er had bullied back then.
"Miss Xu?"
"Where does Miss Xu want to go now?" Only after Bai Lie called out twice did Xu Wei come back to her senses.
"Can I trouble Brother Bai Lie to buy me a set of clothes?"
Bai Lie was slightly startled as he said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't really know how to choose a woman's clothes."
"Just any M number of clothes." Xu Wei looked at Bai Lie with teary eyes, "Looking at my appearance, I don't want to go out and embarrass myself."
"Alright, there will be a women's clothing store soon, so I'll get out of the car and go buy some."
Bai Lie was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. He was very handsome, had a well-proportioned body, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. Sometimes, people said that a man's handsomeness was not in his face, but rather the wisdom and calmness accumulated over time. Xu Wei felt that Bai Lie's temperament was just like this. Steadfast and capable, whenever the Yun Family needed it, he would solve those dilapidated matters.
Bai Lie carried two bags out of a clothing store. He opened the back door of the car and handed the clothes to her.
She looked at Xu Wei shyly, "The style I chose, I don't know if it's suitable."
Xu Wei pulled over the bag and took a look. The white T-shirt and the blue jeans were simple and clean. Xu Wei smiled at Bai Lie and said, "I like it."
"That's good."
Bai Lie returned to the driver's seat and asked, "Where does Miss Xu want to go to change?" He turned his face away again, waiting for her reply, but his eyes couldn't meet hers.
Xu Wei thought for a moment, "I need to take a shower, I don't want to go to a hotel. If I go back to the Yun family, Grandpa will see that it will be another mess; I can go to my big sister, but if she sees me like that, she'll definitely be scared, so …" There's nowhere to go. "
Bai Lie's gaze slowly landed on her as he lowered his eyes to ponder for a moment, "My home is nearby. If Miss Xu doesn't mind …"
Before he could finish, Xu Wei had already answered his question with a hint of gratitude, "Then I'll be troubling Big Brother Bai Lie."
"Then, Miss Xu, take a seat. I'm going to be driving."
Xu Wei nodded before saying, "Brother Bai Lie, just call me Xu Wei."
Bai Lie hesitated. However, he did not say anything else and started the car.
Compared to Mu San, who was completely ignorant of her, Bai Lie could be bold and at ease. Firstly, he said that he came to pick her up on orders from the clouds, but he didn't dare to do anything to her; secondly, he was a line Xu Wei could make. She needed to deepen her understanding with Bai Lie.
Bai Lie's home was in a high-class district in the city.
After Xu Wei followed Bai Lie in, she found that his house was very spacious and tidy. Judging by the looks of it, it was around 180 to 200 square meters. From her point of view, Bai Lie held an extraordinary status within the Yun Family. Thus, the treatment the Yun Family gave him was first class.
"Brother Bai Lie, is this your bathroom?" She noticed that Bai Lie had been searching in the shoe cabinet for a long time without finding a single pair of extra slippers. From this, it could be seen that there were very few guests in Bai Lie's house.
"Over here," Bai Lie quickly walked towards the room's door.
Xu Wei also quickly followed and looked inside. It was a very clean bathroom.
"Miss Xu, you can rest assured. I've never used this bathroom before."
"Thank you, Bai Lie."
Bai Lie's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before he lowered his head and said, "Then you wash. I'll go out for a while."
"Alright."
After watching Bai Lie close the door, Xu Wei quietly walked to the door. Very quickly, she heard Bai Lie's voice coming from outside.
"Young Master Yun, I've already received you, Director Xu."
"She doesn't look very stable. Her eyes are a bit swollen. She must have been crying."
"I understand. She is currently changing her clothes and taking a bath. After everything is done, I will send her back to the Yun Family."
Xu Wei listened silently to Bai Lie's report to the clouds. Then, she walked into the bathroom with an expressionless face.
When the warm water wet her body from the shower, Xu Wei closed her eyes and what had happened before appeared in front of her like a movie.
At first, the reason Yun Su had played the game of exchanging female companions was to let her know the difficulties she was facing and to drive her away from the Yun clan. He wanted her to understand that even if she was favored by the old man, she would not be a god or a horse in his heart.
Originally, he had thrown her onto the mountain path, but after hearing Mu San's terms of cooperation, he decided that she was still useful to him, so he sent Bai Lie to fetch her.
This was like slapping a sweet jujube to drain the value of her use as much as possible. Then, she would do her best to destroy the cooperation between the Yun Family and Mu San.
When she came out of the bathroom, Xu Wei was already fresh and clean with all the makeup on her face.
She came out, looked around the apartment, and went into the kitchen.
He opened the refrigerator. It was out of her expectations. Fresh fruits, beer, and all sorts of other things were inside. Xu Wei had always thought that the boys' homes were all a bit messy, and the fridge was probably empty.
However, he had not expected Bai Lie to be a man who valued the quality of his life.
Xu Wei skillfully washed, cut, and stir-fried a few vegetables. She made two homemade dishes, mixed them with a cold dish, and also a persimmon soup. After the rice was done ripening, she scooped up the three dishes and placed the soup on the table.
He wrote a note to Bai Lie expressing his gratitude.
From the window, he could see Bai Lie's car stop downstairs. Xu Wei packed up the clothes she had worn earlier and quietly left Bai Lie's house.
When Bai Lie pushed open the door and entered, he unexpectedly discovered that Xu Wei had already left. He saw the dishes that were arranged on the dining hall table. Bai Lie stared blankly at the steaming dishes for a long time before finally coming to his senses.
This was the first time since he was born that someone had personally prepared food for him, because he was just an orphan.
Walking along the street, Xu Wei's mood had just calmed down, but the weather wasn't beautiful. Raindrops fell from the sky, quickly wetting her newly washed hair.
He ran a few steps and hid in front of a shop to avoid the rain, hoping to get a taxi. But after waiting for a while, the taxis were full. Xu Wei felt that today was definitely her day of calamity. All sorts of unfortunate events had happened in just a day.
It didn't take long before a series of siren sounded out. Xu Wei completely ignored it. Only when Bai Lie's white SUV stopped beside her did she look at it in a daze.
Bai Lie rolled down the car window and beckoned to her with an anxious tone, "Xu Wei, hurry and get in."
Xu Wei's disappointed eyes lit up bit by bit. She got up and ran towards Bai Lie's car.
This time, she sat in the passenger seat and got on, coughing non-stop.
Without another word, Bai Lie drove the car to a nearby pharmacy and ran back. In less than five minutes, he had a box or two of cold medicine in his hand. "You must have had the mountain breeze and the rain. You have to eat your medicine in time. It's not easy to get a bad cold."
"Here." Xu Wei took the medicine from his hands and the water from his hands. "Thank you." After putting the medicine in her mouth and sending it down with water, Xu Wei asked again, "How did you know I had the wind in my mouth?"
