Chapter 317 - A Visit To Zhu Villa
Caihong moved away and quickly said, "You rest. I will check on Chyou."
Now that she realized the steamy kiss they had just shared, she had an urge to hide her face and run away.
She shut the door behind her, making Xiaosi chuckle. He was about to head to rest a bit, but his phone buzzed with a call.
It was Lei Shing.
Xiaosi thought for a mont and picked up. "Yes, Lei Shing."
Lei Shing said in a cheery voice, "Greetings, Mr. Zhu. Did I disturb you?"
"Not at all," he smiled.
"Oh, that's great. Actually, I called you to discuss sothing. Ever since the security has been reford in Lei Exports, the business is going back on track, and our demand for goods has also increased."
"That's incredible. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu. It's all because of your help. Since our business is expanding, Dad decided to open a new warehouse to accommodate the increasing demand. It's about the security of the new warehouse that I wanted to discuss."
"Ah, I see. Sure I don't - *cough cough*"
Lei Shing was flabbergasted. "Mr. Zhu. Are you sick?"
"It's just a bit of a cold."
Lei Shing profusely apologized. "I am really sorry. I have really bothered you," he anxiously said.
"Please don't apologize."
"No, I must have disturbed you. There is no rush for the discussion. Please take care of yourself. Health is more important."
Xiaosi asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright then."
Lei Shing hung up and sighed. "I called at the wrong ti…" he mumbled.
"What happened?"
His sister, Lei Shu, saw him sighing and furrowed her brows. "Are you sick?"
"It's not . It's Zhu Xiaosi. I called him for a eting regarding the new warehouse, but I learned that he is sick. I disturbed his rest," he guiltily said.
Lei Shu smiled. "It's alright, bro. You didn't know. Don't overthink."
She felt a little worried. "What happened to him, though?"
"It's a cold. He sounded a little pale, but ugh...I am an idiot. I should have noticed it."
Lei Shu recalled that one ti when she t Xiaosi abroad. At that ti, she had caught a cold too, but she didn't tell anybody. She was surprised to know that Xiaosi recognized it at a glance and bought a warm muffler for her.
It was strange. If it had been so other man, she would have gotten a bit nervous. But sohow, towards Xiaosi, she couldn't feel that way.
"Why don't we pay him a visit?"
Lei Shing thought about it. "Good idea."
Then he cleared his throat. "After how Mom behaved in the Summit...I think this a good chance to apologize to him again."
She sighed. "I still don't understand why Mom acts like that. She says she doesn't know him, but then why did she lash out at him?"
Lei Shing squinted his eyes. "I wonder that too…"
---
At the Zhu villa, a maid stepped in and said, "Madam."
Caihong looked up at her. "Hm?"
"There are guests who want to et Master Zhu."
"Guests? Who?"
"They said they are Lei Shing and Lei Shu."
She widened her eyes.
What are they doing here?
She walked in the living room and saw the sibling duo waiting patiently. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Lei Shu greeted her. "Hello, Mrs. Zhu."
Lei Shing bowed as well.
"Hello. How did you two suddenly visit here?"
Lei Shing said, "I had called Mr. Zhu for so business but ca to know that he is sick. So, we thought of visiting him."
"Oh."
Lei Shu quickly said, "I-I hope you don't mind."
She wondered if Xiaosi would feel uncomfortable by them.
Caihong looked behind them. "It's only you two?"
"Oh yes. Don't worry. Mom is not with us."
"That's better because I don't want her to cause any scene anymore, especially when he is sick," she sharply said.
They stiffened.
Lei Shing lowered his head. "Actually...we also ca here to apologize for that night. I know Mom had already asked for forgiveness. But...we sincerely apologize again. She hurt Mr. Zhu and your daughter. We are really, really sorry."
Lei Shu solemnly nodded and seed guilty too.
Caihong stared hard at them.
Even though Lei Biya had caused only troubles, she realized that her family was indeed nice and understanding.
"It's alright," she slowly nodded.
They brightened. "Thank you so much!"
Lei Shu said, "We bought so gifts for you."
"Gifts?" Chyou ca trotting and eagerly asked, "Gifts for ?"
She chuckled. "Yes. We bought gifts for you too. "
Caihong said, "It wasn't needed."
Lei Shing smiled. "We have co here for the first ti. It is only appropriate that we don't co empty-handed."
Caihong raised her brow.
Seriously...there is so much difference between her and her children…
Lei Shu stared at Chyou and squealed. "Aiya, you are so cute! Your cheeks are so squishy."
Chyou bead. "Thank you!"
Lei Shing grimaced. "Control yourself, Shu."
She glared at him. "I know!"
Caihong noticed how Lei Shu and Lei Shing quickly ward up to Chyou as if this wasn't the first ti they t. Chyou also seed comfortable around them.
She left it at that.
Caihong led them to Xiaosi. He lifted his gaze and was surprised. "Lei Shing?"
He smiled. "Sorry for the sudden visit. But we couldn't help but co here after knowing that you are sick."
"Thank you. But you didn't have to take the trouble…"
Lei Shu shook her head. "It isn't any trouble."
She hesitated and offered him a small paper bag. "For you."
Xiaosi curiously opened it and found a fluffy muffler inside. "Thank you so much…"
Xiaosi stared at it and felt nostalgic for so reason.
She smiled. "In the past, you had also bought a muffler for when I was sick."
He felt guilty. "I am sorry, I don't rember…"
"Oh no. I understand."
Lei Shu's phone buzzed, and she saw her mother calling her. She stiffened.
Why is Mom calling now?
She quickly cut the call.
I don't want her to make any scene if she cos to know we are here.
On the other side, Lei Biya frowned.
Why did she hang up?
