After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 21
It was nighttime.
Uncle Kai hurried back from the courtyard. He glanced at Bo Yueming, who was sitting firmly on the sofa and stroking the cat, and unconsciously glanced at the master bedroom. “Second Young Master, I’m back.”
“En.”
The movements of Bo Yueming’s hand paused for a moment, and then he continued to smooth the cat’s fur.
Inspector was lying comfortably on his lap, purring contentedly, which was completely different from when it was puffing up its fur earlier.
Uncle Kai stood by the sofa and told the honest situation of his negotiations with the resort, “The woman who broke in this afternoon is named Lin Na, and the information here says that she is twenty-five years old, from Nan County.”
“After the manager heard the news, he immediately sent someone to fetch the surveillance and questioned the staff who lived in the same dormitory as her. The other party said that she was packing her luggage and talking about leaving three days ago. Her phone cannot be contacted, and the last time surveillance captured her was at 3:10 in the afternoon.”
“I didn’t go into that much detail with the manager, and only said that Lin Na went into the room to steal something, but you and Little Sir caught her……”
Uncle Kai paused, then continued to report the current investigation results. “The manager has files complaints for “unlawful entry” and “attempted theft” to the police, and we will be contacted as soon as there is news.”
This was already the best way to go forward without any adverse effects.
“I understand.”
Bo Yueming responded without a change in expression, and moved to a different topic. “Did all the news get out?”
Uncle Kai went with the flow and answered, “Yes, Second Young Master. When you left the hospital yesterday, those people went to enquire about the news. The people arranged by the hospital still followed the original statement and told them that the possibility of your eyes being cured is very low.”
“En.”
Bo Yueming nodded slightly and added, “I asked Professor Lin to come here to get treated in secret, and I will disclose it to them in a matter of time, but I still can’t tell the truth. Just say that even the medical team here has no solution.”
Uncle Kai frowned slightly, hesitating to speak. “Second Young Master, your eyes have clearly improved. Why are you deliberately keeping it a secret?”
Ever since the car accident, hadn’t the second branch couple and Bo Guancheng overtly and covertly stolen things from Bo Yueming? How many times did Bo Wang from the main branch mock him?
In Uncle Kai’s opinion, the family’s Second Young Master should release the news that his eyes were recovering soon in order to kill the power of this group of people and make them fearful again!
There was a hint of hostility in Bo Yueming’s eyes, but he patted Inspectors head twice. “Go to the room, ba.”
“Meow-wu~”
The very human-like Inspector responded, then jumped off the sofa and ran back to the master bedroom, which had the lights on.
Bo Yueming moved his strong wrist, and pale blue veins appeared on the back of his hand due to the silent force. “Uncle Kai, the car accident that caused me to lose my sight was likely deliberately done by the main branch.”
“What?!”
Uncle Kai lost control and shouted, then immediately restrained his excessively leaking emotions. “Second Young Master, didn’t the police say that the truck driver was driving under the influence of alcohol, which caused the accident?”
“Yes, the police’s judgment in the investigation is correct, and the driver did indeed go to prison.”
Bo Yueming recalled the information that his friend Yan Cen had investigated for him not long ago, and became even colder—
The truck driver’s family had moved twice in just two months. On the surfaced, it looked like the family was still poor, but the son who had just gone to college began to frequent expensive places, and once even let it be known after drinking that his father had connections, and now he had a lot of money on hand.
Uncle Kai understood after a moment, and his expression became more complicated.
“If the driver on my side had reacted a little slower, the accident wouldn’t have been my eyes, but my life.” Bo Yueming had never doubted his judgment and intuition. “Uncle Kai, tell me, if the main branch has a guilty conscience and my eyes are about to recover, what will they do?”
Uncle Kai was filled with apprehension. “Since there was a first time, there will be a second time, and in order to avoid future troubles, won’t they try harder than the first time?”
There was no trace of fear on Bo Yueming’s face. He simply analyzed his current situation very clearly, “Grandma is now bedridden and unconscious, and that old man is completely biased toward the main branch. My eyesight is not yet clear, and it would be only a detriment with no benefits to reveal the situation too early.”
“Conversely, the news of my secret treatment will leak out, along with the news that my eyes have ‘not been getting better.’ Only when there are flaws will it appear to be true, and if there is no threat, they will not think about dealing with me thoroughly.”
If the main branch was in the dark but Bo Yueming was not, then from the day that his eyes were completely restored in secret, this situation would be completely reversed.
Bo Yueming clenched his fist, then released it. “Let them be proud, let them be brazen, and one day, I will get it all back with interest.”
Uncle Kai expressed his support in a low voice.
After all, the behavior of the main branch had really touched the bottom line. Who could let them go easily?
“It’s getting late, go back next door and rest. You need to accompany me to receive treatment tomorrow morning.” Bo Yueming thought of Pei Yi, who was still showering in the master bedroom and didn’t go further into the details.
“All right.”
Uncle Kai responded, and suddenly remembered something. “Second Young Master, you stayed with Little Sir last night, did you not have a good rest?”
“…….”
Bo Yueming was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Uncle Kai had noticed something.
After all, the “intimate” situation last night as something he had never experienced in more than twenty years of life, but after some thought, the other party should just be considering his living habits.
Bo Yueming stifled a cough. “It was fine, why?”
“I inquired with the manager before I returned, and there are vacant rooms in another courtyard nearby, or it could also be convenient to ask the hotel staff to move in another sofa bed. If you and Little Sir cannot get used to it, you can take advantage of this time……”
Before Uncle Kai could finish his proposal, Bo Yueming put a halt to the conversation. “In any case, it’s only a night or two. Don’t bother, we both rested pretty well.”
“…….”
Uncle Kai tried to find a trace of unusual affection from Bo Yueming’s expression, but failed. “Then, I’ll go back to the side room first. Second Young Master can call for me anytime if he needs something.”
“En.”
Uncle Kai sent Bo Yueming back to the door of the room, then turned and left.
. . . . . .
Pei Yi, who had finished showering, was sitting at the head of the bed and using a disposable pet wipe to give Inspector a bath. Upon seeing Bo Yueming slowly entering the room, he stopped wiping.
“Meow~”
Inspector opened its eyes unsurely, as if still hoping that its master would rub it more.
Pei Yi removed the disposable gloves and threw them in the trash can along with the wipes, calling out tentatively, “Er-ge?”
He was unaccustomed at first, but familiar with it soon enough.
Bo Yueming was used to this address and didn’t stop until his calves touched the edge of the bed. “You’ve finished showering?”
Pei Yi hummed lightly, and after much deliberation, decided to ask a question. “……We, are we still together tonight?”
“What?”
“Where is the bed?” In order to maintain his cover, Pei Yi cherished words like gold. “You said, sleep separately.”
Bo Yueming finally regained his senses and remembered what he said last night: “I will ask the staff to arrange a small bed for you tomorrow.”
It was said that he was “foolish” and not sensible, but he clearly remembered this.
Bo Yueming was silent for a second or two, then said casually, “The other courtyards are full, and there are no extra cots that can be easily moved.”
“……”
Pei Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Really?
How come when he took Inspector for a walk today, there were still several courtyards empty and unoccupied?
Bo Yueming didn’t wait for Pei Yi’s response, and thought he was still sulking because of dissatisfaction. “You are so unwilling to sleep in the same bed with me? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Bo Yueming paused for a second, then, with some unspeakable and subtle thoughts, teased him, “Your snoring was louder than Inspector’s.”
“…….”
Pei Yi was stunned, and a thin layer of red appeared on his face due to the surprise.
He snored in his sleep?
Impossible!
It took Pei Yi a long while to digest this ‘fact,’ and he mumbled, “I don’t.”
If they shared a bed, then they shared a bed. Anyway, neither of them would do anything to the other!
Besides, he had slept unexpectedly comfortably and soundly last night. If he really changed to another bed, it might not have the same effect.
Bo Yueming’s lips hooked up briefly, and he explored around to pick up his pajamas. “I’m going to wash up, you go to bed early.”
“Okay.”
When Bo Yueming entered the bathroom, Pei Yi patted his faintly hot cheeks. He moved back to the bed and covered himself with the blanket, then patted the empty space on the outside and whispered, “Inspector, come~”
Inspector looked at Pei Yi, then at the same position it was in last night, and turned around to jump off the bed, going into its cat nest without looking back.
“Meow-wu~”
“…….”
Pei Yi didn’t understand, and muttered, “Why aren’t you willing to sleep with me?”
Bo Yueming had already showered again after being interrupted by Lin Na in the afternoon, and it didn’t take much time to wash up before going to bed. Just like last night, he and Pei Yi each lay on the bed under the air-conditioned blanket.
Pei Yi went ahead and turned off the bedside lamp.
Click.
Once the light in the room vanished, Bo Yueming found that the light spots in his field of vision also went black. It was a good thing to be able to perceive changes in the external environment.
Bo Yueming’s mood became a little more relaxed, and he took the rare initiative to say, “Pei Yi, good night.”
In the darkness, Pei Yi was a little surprised, but politely responded, “Good night, Er-ge.”
The bedroom returned to silence.
Bo Yueming was not in a hurry to sleep tonight. He thought about what he should do if Pei Yi treated him like a pillow again in his sleep.
The slightly breathing of the two people undulated and blended in the dark night.
Then Pei Yi took the first step and fell asleep peacefully, and last night’s situation did not reoccur.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Bo Yueming slowly turned to the left. He opened his eyes and gazed into the darkness, and a little disappointment that even he didn’t notice passed through his heart—
This person.
Why was he sleeping so honestly tonight?
. . . . . .
Bo Yueming and his party stayed at the resort for three days in total. As for the follow-up conservative treatment, he could choose to continue it in a private medical institution in the Imperial Capital, and Professor Lin would come forward to help represent him.
Bo Yueming, Pei Yi, and the others had just returned to the small villa by two o’clock in the afternoon, and before everyone could take a breath, an uninvited guest appeared at the door.
“Yueming, where have you been these few days? I’ve been looking forward to having you back.”
Bo Guancheng stepped straight into the main room of the villa. His eyes fell on the light suitcase that Uncle Kai had not yet packed away, and a sneer flashed across his face.
Bo Yueming easily recognized his voice, and calmly said, “Why is Dage looking for me? There was nothing to do at home, so I took Pei Yi out on a whim to relieve boredom.”
“Really?”
Having already inquired about the situation, Bo Guancheng naturally did not believe his words, and said with a chuckle, “I thought Second Brother didn’t trust the diagnosis of Dijing Hospital, so he ran to have another doctor look at his eyes.”
What was the use in finding one?
If they could be cured, why come back in despair after only two or three days?
Pei Yi couldn’t get used to Bo Guancheng’s face, so he raised a middle finger silently in his heart to show his respect.
Bo Yueming let a trace of frustration and powerlessness leak out at just the right time, and “forcibly” cheered up again. “Dage, why did you come to see me?”
“There is an urgent matter.”
Bo Guancheng approached and handed over the invitation letter in his hand. “The government-led project in the Yuandi Commercial District has been successfully won by our Bo family. Grandpa is very satisfied.”
“…….”
With the tone of a leader, Bo Guancheng invited with a smile, “This weekend, I plan to hold a celebration banquet to reward all the staff of this project team, and invite some big names to see if there is any opportunity to expand projects in other fields. Would you like to attend?”
Assistant Lin Zhong, who was standing at the side, changed his expression. He had to suppress it again, however, and could only feel aggrieved for Bo Yueming in his heart.
The project in the Yuandi Commercial District was the top priority of the Imperial Capital circle for the past two years. Bo Yueming was in full charge of the early stages, and even in the first round of bidding, they entered with an absolute advantage.
As a result, not long after Bo Yueming’s eye accident happened, Old Mr. Bo transferred the project to Bo Guancheng.
It was obviously Bo Yueming who had given it his all, but in the end, it was Bo Guancheng who ate up all the dividends and praises. Lin Zhong saw this and was aggrieved!
Bo Guancheng handed the invitation letter to Bo Yueming again, as if he didn’t dare to take credit for it. “Yueming, you have always contributed to this project, and I don’t think this celebration banquet can go on without you.”
He spoke very nicely.
This was just taking out the invitation letter with the attitude of its organizer. Wasn’t this just a way of flaunting it?
Bo Yueming grasped the invitation letter with his fingertips and took it lightly. “Thanking Dage for his concern. I will certainly be there on time for this celebration banquet.”
