It was already noon when they returned to Nanwan Xiang District, and Gu Wei had lunch at home before going back to work.
Yue Fei went back to the second floor after eating, got on the bed, and slept for a long time until Gu Wei came back in the evening.
"Did you sleep all afternoon? Are you feeling unwell?"
At the dinner table, Gu Wei frowned slightly when seeing Yue Fei's still sleepy appearance.
"I felt a bit sick when I first came back, but now I'm feeling better." Yue Fei said.
"Find some free time to go to the hospital for a full body check up." Gu Wei placed some food in Yue Fei's bowl.
Yue Fei was taken aback for a while and then nodded: "I will."
Gu Wei: "The results from the investigation came out in the afternoon. You did not cheat, but I suggest you should not return to school for the time being."
Yue Fei: "Since they've proved my innocence, why can't I go to school tomorrow?"
"The student who reported you is the son of your principal. Your principal waited outside my office this afternoon. I had been in meetings and had no time to see him. Are you sure you want to go back to school tomorrow?"
With that situation, if Yue Fei were to return to school, the principal would definitely come knocking on his dorm door in an instance.
Yue Fei: "I guess I should take my time then..do we really want to sue that Tang something Xi person?"
Gu Wei: "You are from the Gu Family, this matter cannot be taken lightly."
"Oh..." Yue Fei nodded. The Gu Family's reputation is better than his reputation. Naturally, the Gu Family's reputation ranks higher. And he is from the Gu Family, slandering him is equivalent to slandering the Gu Family. It makes sense for Gu Wei to deal with it seriously.
Gu Wei: "If someone insults the Gu Family today and gets away with it, there will be more people who will follow this example. Although they are all inconspicuous spoofs, I don't like trouble."
"Oh!" Yue Fei was like a human tool, "It's up to you how you want to deal with it."
He was not very interested in these kinds of conflicts, so he naturally followed Gu Wei's arrangements.
Gu Wei pointed at his bowl and said, "Well, eat it quickly."
Yue Fei bit the meat ball: "Okay."
...
The next day, Yue Fei received a message from Mother Yue.
Mother Yue: Xiao Fei, your principal said that he came for a home visit and brought several bags of gifts. If one doesn't know better, they would think he was here to help students in need. Did you do something bad at school? Why is there a home visit after college?
Yue Fei:...
Yue Fei: Mom, what are you talking about, nowadays our teachers are all like this, they're very polite.
Yue Fei: While I was not there, did our principal ask anything?
Mother Yue: Oh, he asked where you live now. I gave him your address. I sent you a message to let you know. He should be arriving soon.
Yue Fei: ?????
Mother Yue: What's wrong?
Yue Fei: Nothing...
Mother Yue: By the way, you are not at school today ah.
Yue Fei: Yes, I should be at school today, but why did you give him my address?
Mother Yue: I just thought that if it was a home visit, isn't it better for him to go visit where you're living now. You are living with Xiao Wei now. If he wants home visits, he should also go to your house.
Yue Fei:...
Mother Yue: Is there any inconvenience on your side? Otherwise, I can call your principal to tell him to come at a later time?
Yue Fei: No, I'm joking with you, mom.
Yue mother: [speechless]
The doorbell rang as soon as Mother Yue's message got sent over.
At this time of the day, there was only Yue Fei at home, and he could see the people outside the door from his study. To be honest, Yue Fei did not want to open the door at all.
Outside the door, Principal Tang stood with his troublemaking son, carrying large and small bags, and pressed the doorbell perseveringly.
Acting as if he did not hear it! Yue Fei put on the headphones and focused on watching the movie.
After a while, his cell phone rang up and it was from an unfamiliar number. He decided to not answer it.
The phone rang again, and it was Gu Wei?
"Hello?"
"The doorbell at home had been ringing for some time with no answer and it got directed to notify Tang Yue, he had the property association come to deal with the people at the door. You don't have to worry about it."
"Uh."
Just after hanging up Gu Wei's phone, his phone vibrated again.
Seeing the caller ID, Yue Fei was stunned.
[Yin Xinchen]
Why does his phone have Yin Xinchen's number?!
This was the male protagonist after all, although he could already guess what the other was calling about, Yue Fei sighed and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Yue Fei?"
"Speaking."
"Hello, this is Yin Xinchen. We added each other's mobile phone number during the school activities, but I haven't called. Are you busy now?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Regarding the matter of reporting you cheating in the exam, although Tang Xi was impulsive, he did it because of me. I contacted you to ask if you can forgive him and settle this matter privately instead of legal means."
"...It seems that our relationship is not that good to talk about this matter."
There was a brief silence.
"I understand." Yin Xinchen did not bother, "Thank you for answering my call."
Yue Fei: "I hope you don't misunderstand, I have nothing against you as a person."
As long as you don't come and meddle with my life, please come back to Jian Yi and work on your relationship.
"..." Yin Xinchen paused, "I thought you must be hating me."
Yue Fei: "Nope." You are just a stranger to me after all.
Yin Xinchen chuckled softly: "Thank you."
Hanging up the phone, Yin Xinchen looked at his phone and was spacing out for a moment.
Even if you didn't hate me before, I'm sure you will now.
Heaved out a sigh, Yin Xinchen took out a business card in his pocket and dialed the number he had never called.
"President Gu, this is Xiao Yin, um, the person on the cruise who warned you that there is a problem with your drink, I'm sorry to interrupt...
Well, I want to beg for a favor with you."
...
Gu Wei did not come back for dinner in the evening, so Yue Fei just thought that he must be busy with work, and Yue Fei didn't care. After eating, he went into the study and looked for a movie to watch.
When it was almost ten o'clock, there was a sound on the first floor. Yue Fei guessed that Gu Wei was back. It just so happened that he had finished watching the movie, so he could wash up and sleep.
Maybe after going upstairs, seeing the light in Yue Fei's study room was still on, Gu Wei knocked on the door of the room.
Yue Fei opened the door: "You are back."
Gu Wei: "You haven't slept yet?"
Yue Fei: "Not yet."
"If you can't sleep, come to my study for a drink?" Gu Wei invited him.
Yue Fei thought he was a little weird today, but he agreed.
The furnishings of Gu Wei's study are the same as when Yue Fei came in last time. The two of them still sat where they were last time.
The liquor was poured into the glass, and Gu Wei touched his glass lightly with the other.
"Principal Tang went to your house today?"
Yue Fei: "Yes, my mother told me that he also brought some gifts over to her, and I asked my mother to return them to him."
"I spoke with the lawyer in the afternoon. In cases like this, he said this is a standard case of criminal offence. If we insist on pressing charges and the evidence is sufficient, the other party needs to bear criminal responsibility." Gu Wei said.
Yue Fei: "That serious?" Is it actually a criminal offence? He thought it was just another juvenile case of slandering, the most is to demand compensation from the other party.
Gu Wei: "It mainly depends on our attitude."
Yue Fei: "...I think just let him post an apology letter on his social media and school forum."
Gu Wei: "Are you sure?"
Yue Fei: "Well, this incident didn't cause me any substantial loss, so just forget it."
Gu Wei nodded: "I understand now. I will let Qiao Si follow up with the lawyer."
Yue Fei felt a little weird: "What do you think? Having things settled this way..."
Gu Wei: "I respect your decision."
Yue Fei had a row of question marks in his heart. Who was the one who said yesterday that he wanted to kill chickens and monkeys? Who is the one who said yesterday that the Gu's people cannot be bullied?
After talking, Gu Wei got up and rubbed the boy's head: "Don't think about this matter, go to sleep early."
After finishing speaking, Gu Wei finished the red wine in the glass, left the study and went back to the bedroom.
Yue Fei was alone in the study, staring at the red wine.
Gu Wei is acting strange, very strange.
After returning to the room to wash up, Yue Fei got on the bed and started to sort out the change in Gu Wei's attitude and the conversation with him in the study.
Yesterday Gu Wei actively took matters into his own hand, letting Yue Fei not have to care about anything. But today when the man got back, he asked Yue Fei what he thought, and said crap about respecting the boy's own decision...
Gu Wei is not trying to script him?
He definitely did try to script him!
Thinking about it, Yue Fei got up from the bed.
He sent a message to Gu Wei.
Yue Fei: Are you hiding something from me?
Gu Wei: What do you mean?
...It seems that the man is hiding a few things from him.
Yue Fei gritted his teeth: [Smile]
Fuck the Third Brother, fuck all the concerns, he should not casually be moved and trusted the man.
There must be something he didn't know about, but Gu Wei wouldn't tell him.
Gu Wei is an old fox. Although the man occasionally treats him well, this doesn't change the man's cunning nature.
Buried his head in the quilt, Yue Fei went to sleep with annoyance.
...
After that message, Yue Fei did not say anything.
Gu Wei lay on the bed for a while. After realizing that he couldn't sleep, he got up, turned on the phone, and called Tang Yue.
Tang Yue quickly picked up: "Mr. Gu?"
"I remember Wu Cheng said last year that he is done with doing research and he wants to challenge administrative affairs."
Gu Wei's thoughtless words made Tang Yue unsure of what the right thing to say was: "Yeah."
"Yue Fei's school is quite suitable."
Tang Yue: "Yeah."
"Your performance has been good over the past few years. I will inform personnel to double your annual salary this year."
Tang Yue: "Thank you, Mr. Gu!"
"Take your rest."
Hanging up the phone, Gu Wei still couldn't sleep. Hearing the crisp sound of glass against the marble floor outside, he frowned and walked out of the room.
Seeing that the light in his study was still on, he opened the door.
Yue Fei was sitting on the sofa where the two of them had sat.
Gu Wei was taken aback for a moment: "You haven't slept yet? What are you doing here so late?"
He did not get angry at seeing Yue Fei enter his study without his consent.
Yue Fei frowned and looked at him, his eyes were slightly out of focus: "Drinking."
