C5 One Year Later

"Ning City, I'm back!"

Gu Jiajia stood at the Ning City International Airport, nostalgically speaking, Old Master Pei Ye was in critical condition, so she called him back. Maybe she stayed here longer than usual, so Gu Jiajia came back ten days late.

Jiajia pushed her luggage towards the exit of the airport but was stopped after a few steps.

"Hello, CEO's wife. I am James, the special assistant of Director Pei." A man who claimed to be James blocked Gu Jiajia's way.

Jiajia frowned. Could it be that she met a swindler right after returning home? Now the scammer's services were really there! Jiajia silently praised James in her heart, but on the surface, she acted as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry, I'm single now." Gu Jiajia said to James with a smile.

Assistant James frowned. The photo this CEO gave him was of the woman in front of him. Why didn't it match?

"The CEO showed me your picture. It's indeed you." James continued.

Gu Jiajia was no longer in the mood to continue chatting with James, the swindler. She dragged her suitcase along with her and left.

When James saw CEO's wife leaving, he happily followed behind her.

"CEO's wife, where are you going?" I'll walk you over. "

"CEO's wife, let me help you pull the suitcase. Don't tire you."

Gu Jiajia had already gone outside, but Liar James was still chasing after her.

"How many times have I told you? I'm single, I'm single! "OK?"

Jiajia was annoyed by James's nagging skills and spoke righteously.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiajia's phone rang. Looking at the screen, it was an unfamiliar number, Jiajia frowned subconsciously.

"Hello, I'm Gu Jiajia. Who are you?" Jiajia said politely.

"I'm Pei Zhen." A clear and cold voice accompanied by electric currents reached Jiajia's ears.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

"30 minutes ago, I sent my assistant, James, to pick you up. It's already been 45 minutes, why didn't I receive a call from James?" Pei Zhen continued.

"James is really your assistant!" I thought he was a liar! " Realizing her mistake, Gu Jiajia said awkwardly.

"Reach Shunjing within twenty minutes."

Pei Zhen hung up the phone after that, leaving behind Gu Jiajia, who was completely stunned. This person had not seen her for more than a year and was still as arrogant and tyrannical as before. He sure was unlucky to know him.

Jiajia twitched her mouth and handed her luggage to James.

"Sorry, I think you're a bad person."

"It's fine, CEO's wife. Don't let your guard down."

James didn't dare to not forgive his parents' wife, otherwise, it would not just be a matter of losing his job.

Within the time Pei Zhen set, Gu Jiajia finally arrived at the Shunjing Villa District.

Jiajia thought that the person opening the door would be the butler or a nanny, but she didn't expect that the first person she saw when she went back home, oh, no, the second person was Pei Zhen.

"Come in!" After Pei Zhen opened the door, he directly entered with a polite greeting and took the luggage from Jiajia's hands.

Gu Jiajia became even more embarrassed after she entered, it seemed like this was her second time meeting with her grandfather, Grandma Pei.

Pei Qi's newlywed wife, Hua Xiao, seemed to be more natural than Gu Jiajia, his granddaughter-in-law who had been around for more than a year.

Jiajia is back, come in! The family is waiting for you. " Mistress Pei walked to the entrance and pulled Jiajia's hand intimately.

"Good evening, Grandpa, Grandma, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt." Jiajia greeted the elders seated around the table very politely.

He didn't expect four red packets to appear in front of him just as he finished speaking.

"This is the red packet, it's for our Pei Family's daughter-in-law." Grandpa Pei said kindly.

"Gu Jiajia waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to." Grandfather, you're too kind. "

"Here, take it." Old Master Pei was just about to speak when Pei Zhen beat him to it. In the end, Gu Jiajia still accepted the four red packets.

"Come over and eat!" Nanny Ms Hai said in the dining room as everyone moved into the dining room.

"Jiajia, eat this chicken leg. I'm much skinnier than the last time I saw you." Hua Xiao said affectionately.

Hua Xiao had just finished speaking when she received the gazes of three people. She seemed to be asking, "When was the last time we met?"

"Didn't I go to Germany with Pei Qi last time? I just happened to see Jiajia and her classmates come out to meet. " Hua Xiao explained. I lost more than a little weight from last time. Jiajia should eat it quickly. "

"Has Jiajia returned home to find a job yet?" "Obviously, Old Master Pei didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the topic." If you don't get a job, you can go to your company and work with Pei Zhen. That way, you can be at ease. "

If Gu Jiajia could not understand the old man's words, then all the books she had learned in the past few years would have been for naught. She spoke rather awkwardly.

"Grandfather, because of my graduation thesis, I still have some time before I graduate, so I haven't found a job yet."

"Then we can go to the company to help Zhen. Husband and wife, return their families." Pei Qi liked to be like this the most, because if it was like this, then the old man wouldn't urge him to know the company.

"I still can't. Grandfather, I don't have any qualifications right now, so it wouldn't be too good to fly over." Gu Jiajia explained.

"What's wrong with that? "You are a member of your own family, the boss of this company. Why can't you land in the air?" The old tutor spoke as if it was a matter of course. The last thing the old tutor did before he retired was to get rid of all his connections. And now he was allowing Jiajia to descend from the sky so openly, it was really not a good comparison.

"Grandpa, wait until the recruitment time before I go for an interview!" It would be fairer for the others. " Jiajia said with good intentions.

"By the way, Jiajia, where will we live? In Zhen's apartment or in your new house? " Grandma Pei suddenly remembered that her grandson's wife had asked Lili about the lodging problem.

"The bridal chamber." Pei Zhen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up for Gu Jiajia.

It would be Big Pei Zhen's face if Gu Jiajia said no this time. Jiajia was still a sensible person, so she followed what Pei Zhen said.

"Yes, in the bridal chamber." Gu Jiajia lowered her head and said shyly.

"That's great. Let's hurry up and eat!" After dinner, you two should hurry home! It's been a year since we've had a proper chat. " When Old Master Pei heard that the two of them were going to live together, he immediately urged them to eat happily.

It was Gu Jiajia's first time coming to this new room, so Pei Zhen seemed to have come to live in this room more than once.

"You will live here from now on." Pei Zhen prepared to leave after giving the key to the new room to Gu Jiajia.

Gu Jiajia frowned and looked at Pei Zhen, who was about to leave, after she got the key.

"Hey, don't you live here?"

Hearing Gu Jiajia's voice, Pei Zhen stopped walking and turned around to look at Jiajia, who was at a loss.

"What is it? "Don't you want me to leave?"

Gu Jiajia's initially confused face immediately changed when she heard Pei Zhen's words. It was as if she was saying, "Brother, you're kidding me!"

"How... How can that be? You're overthinking things. It's getting late, so hurry up and leave! "Bye bye!"

Gu Jiajia was afraid that Pei Zhen would change his mind, so she closed the door after she finished her sentence.

Pei Zhen looked at the closed door in shock, as if the room wasn't just hers! Why did it seem like he had been kicked out of the house! He wanted to open the door and argue, but he looked at the time on his wrist and gave up.

Gu Jiajia carefully sized up the house. It wasn't luxurious like she had imagined. Instead, it had a warm and cozy look, as if it was a home.

After familiarizing herself with the house, Jiajia sat on the sofa with her cell phone in her hand as if she was thinking about something.

Will you call them and say hello? After all, he was already married and was an outsider to them, so it was more accurate to say that he was an outsider the entire time. However, it was very impolite to not tell them that he was back.

After thinking about it, Gu Jiajia still made sure to make a phone call. However, she had still overestimated her existence.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is empty. Please try again later, solry …"

A robotic female voice came from the other end of the phone. Jiajia felt helpless and wanted to cry, but there were no tears. Did she really feel like she didn't exist? He didn't even tell her his phone number.
