156: Leave This to Me

Leave This to Me

Wu Bi stopped in his tracks and looked down at Jian Ai with raised eyebrows. "Oh?"1

Jian Ai straightened her expression and paused for a moment. She then said in a low voice, "Can you do me a favor? My brother is missing."

"Missing?" Wu Bi frowned as if he didn't understand Jian Ai. "What do you mean?"

Jian Ai sighed and told Wu Bi about her brother. In the end, she said worriedly, "If he resigned because of this, he should go home. But the blond said he had resigned for almost a week, and I haven't seen him for a week."

Hearing Jian Ai's words, Wu Bi nodded gently after a while. "I understand. Don't worry, leave this to me. Wait for my news."

"Thank you." Jian Ai looked into Wu Bi's eyes and instantly felt relieved.

On the other hand, Wu Bi smiled and said in an affectionate tone, "Silly girl, don't thank me."

With that, Wu Bi turned and left. Jian Ai looked at the tall figure in the night and pursed her lips with a complicated expression.

They would reach Uncle Wu's house after crossing two roads. However, it was evident that Brother Wu didn't return. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction.

Jian Ai could not guess whether something was going on between Uncle Wu and Brother Wu Bi. However, she had not seen Brother Wu Bi for so many years, leaving Jian Ai puzzled.

Wang Yunzhi's house was not far from Jian Ai's house. As soon as Jian Ai walked out of the yard, she saw Wang Yunzhi standing in the yard collecting clothes.

"Aunt!" Jian Ai called out.

Wang Yunzhi looked at the door and saw Jian Ai entering. She was stunned and quickly walked forward. "Xiao Ai? Come in."

"I lost my key. There's no one at home. I have nowhere to go," Jian Ai said.

When Wang Yunzhi heard this, she couldn't help but smile. "Why did you lose the key? Quickly enter the house. Jiachi is inside!"

Jian Ai naturally did not need to stand on ceremony with her aunt. She immediately entered the house.

"Sister? Why are you here?"

When Jiachi saw Jian Ai, he was stunned. He looked at the time and was surprised. It was already nine in the evening.

Jian Ai sat down by Jiachi's bed and raised her eyebrows at her fair and tender cousin. "Why? Am I not welcome?"

Jiachi had an innocent look on his face, and he shook his head with a wooden expression. "No, you are welcome."

Welcome…

Looking at her cousin's dazed and cute appearance, coupled with the seemingly non-existent baby fat on his face, Jian Ai's heart melted. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Yao Jiachi's face. "Why are you so cute?!"

"Ah… It hurts…" Yao Jiachi couldn't help but snort. His face followed the strength of Jian Ai's hand and leaned up.

At this moment, Wang Yunzhi came in with a plate of grapes. Seeing the siblings fighting, she couldn't help but smile. "Xiao Ai, have some grapes. Have you eaten dinner?"

Jian Ai immediately retracted her hand and nodded. "Yes. Uncle isn't back yet?"

Wang Yunzhi pulled a chair in front of Jiachi's desk and sat down. When she heard this, she said, "A freight train entered the station at night. He has to work overtime tonight and won't be coming back."

Yao Feng was a freighter for the railway. If trucks were entering the station at night, it was common to work overtime, but he would also earn more.

"Aunt, I'll sleep with you tonight then! My mom is getting off work late at night. I still have school tomorrow," Jian Ai ate a grape and said.

Wang Yunzhi nodded without hesitation. "Alright, I'll call your mother later to let her know."
