Chapter 788: Unforgettable
Xia Yiwei glanced at the man who was asking her for credit. The flash of coldness in her eyes caused Hou Zi’s heart to drop. There seemed to be something keeping them apart. He started to feel anxious.
17 years of relations.h.i.+p allowed them to be able to hide their argument. Xia Yiwei didn’t want Ye Jian to know about their relations.h.i.+p so she smiled and said, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Old Sixth called me before and asked me to look after you. I feel sorry because I felt that I didn’t do anything. In the future, you can contact me if you need anything. My number is…”
At the Transportation Bureau, Xia Yiwei witnessed how powerful Ye Jian’s memory was. Thus, she said her phone number, office number, and house number. She wasn’t afraid that Ye Jian wouldn’t remember them. She only said the numbers once.
Ye Jian looked at Xia Yiwei. She looked so enchanting even when she just smiled slightly. Ye Jian was astounded. The genes of the Xia family was really strong. Every one of them was so good-looking.
A somber look appeared in Hou Zi’s gaze for a second. He gathered his senses and said, “As an Elder Sister, you have no sincerity at all. You just repeated the numbers once and didn’t even write them down on a piece of paper. How is she supposed to contact you?”
After that, he asked his men to bring some pens and paper.
“You don’t remember them but why do you think Ye Jian can’t remember them? I heard from Old Sixth that her memory is really powerful. She’s able to remember clearly the people she saw, the conversations they had, the things she did, and what she said in the past few months!
Hou Zi, who had seen many big situations, was shocked by her words. This wasn’t.. an ordinary ability! How powerful must this lady’s memory be?
“Are you really that good? That’s amazing. If Old Sixth dared to do any bad things in the future, you can bring up everything with him. I can foresee how careful he’s going to be in the future.” He was teasing Ye Jian but he looked at Xia Yiwei. “Sometimes, when a woman decides to bring up past matters, it’s quite scary. I hope that Old Sixth won’t make any mistakes.”
What he was saying… Ye Jian wanted to cover her ears.
Ever since her encounter with Commander Xia, Ye Jian realized that she had been hearing things she shouldn’t. She wanted to leave but she couldn’t and even if she covered her ears, she was still able to hear everything… They were all personal affairs.
Xia Yiwei’s expression didn’t change. She glanced at Hou Zi coldly and smiled as she said to Ye Jian, “Old people like to recall the mistakes they did in the past. Don’t take it to heart.”
“You still have lessons today, right? It’s already 6.30 am. Go back to your room and pack up. I’ll send you to school.” She wanted to get rid of Hou Zi so she winked at Ye Jian. At the same time, she rolled her eyes secretly and elegantly.
“…” Ye Jian nodded hurriedly. She replied in a polite and natural tone, “Thank you, Sister Wei. I was still thinking if I should take a taxi to school. I didn’t expect my problem to be solved so quickly.”
The lady beside him had made the decision that she wouldn’t talk to him. Anger could be seen in Hou Zi’s eyes but he suppressed his emotions and maintained the att.i.tude of a mature man. He sighed, “Aren’t you afraid of scaring your younger brother’s lover? Don’t frighten her. She’s still young. She can’t handle too much shock.”
When he looked at Ye Jian again, he said knowingly, “Your Sister Wei didn’t have a smooth time at work. If she complains about anything later, for Ah Yuan’s[1] sake, don’t take it to heart.
