At eight o 'clock in the evening, the calm Wei Yishan and the nervous Ellie went to the agreed place together. Ellie looked for a hiding place outside, while Wei Yishan entered Starbucks early. He ordered a latte, but he didn't drink it. He just quietly held the cup and stared at it.
As long as his son was in China, he always liked to drink coffee at Starbucks. It wasn't because he liked to drink coffee, but because he thought that girls who were a little pretentious and a little bourgeois were the most materialistic. In Starbucks, girls with such a mentality were the most common.
Although the coffee beans in the shop were indeed purchased from all over the world, the formula was standardized in the United States, and then sent to the world, the taste was different according to each region, so the taste might be different in each country. In Hua Xia, the taste of Starbucks' coffee was on the bland side, mainly to cater to the majority of consumers. However, consumers who cared about coffee generally wouldn't buy it here.
And the rich would choose high-end and classy places. The darker, the better, and the more expensive, the better. Only the membership system was cool enough!
Therefore, it was accurate to say that most of the people who drank coffee here were a little bourgeois. When a coffee shop even introduced instant coffee, it really couldn't be considered classy. Those who went to Starbucks to express their taste were more or less low-end.
Therefore, those who were a little pretentious and a little materialistic would choose a place with an acceptable price and enough reputation. They would stay for the whole afternoon and use their mobile phones or tablets to browse their WeChat Moments. They would post a few photos that were shown by Meitu and write a few famous sentences like: The sun can't shine through the window into my heart … and so on.
Wei Yishan's son liked to search for Weibo in this place and find people nearby. If there were girls who posted such things, he would directly take them down.
Wei Yishan knew about it because two years ago, his son went back to China and stayed in Hua Xia for a week. He basically didn't go home day and night. The night before he left, a few girls gathered at the door and cried, saying that he played with their feelings and bodies!
It was also because of Wei Yishan's identity that no one dared to cause trouble after knowing that this was his son. After that, it seemed that two girls were pregnant. Wei Yishan only asked Xiong Feng to bring some money to settle the matter.
After this incident, Wei Yishan had a headache. His son would definitely cause trouble for him when he came back. It would be better for him to stay in Europe, which was more open-minded. Even if those girls got pregnant, they would not know who the father was. Wei Yishan would not always have to clean up after him.
Although his son was a good-for-nothing, the more Wei Yishan thought about it, the more he felt sorry for him. He was the one who caused his son to become like this!
There was a saying in the Three Character Classic that made a lot of sense … "If you don't teach well, it's the father's fault. If you don't teach well, it's the teacher's fault. If a child does not learn, it is not suitable. If a child does not learn, what is the use of an old man?
"Good evening, Lord Wei. You're really early. "
A greeting interrupted Wei Yishan's thoughts. He was too familiar with this voice, but he really did not expect that Aries' Peter would personally come to see him.
After seeing Peter, Wei Yishan quickly calmed himself down. He gestured for Peter to sit down and said, "Your plan changed too quickly. I can't stay by Xu Yun's side anymore! You have to take me to your side. I need your help. "
Peter smiled. "Lord Wei, you're from Hua Xia, and we're in Hua Xia. It's a bit funny of you to ask for my help. I've always been the one asking for your help. "
"It's good that you know. But now I need your help. "Wei Yishan insisted.
"You're a master from Hua Xia. Don't you think it's embarrassing for you to say such things?" Peter still had a smile on his face. "Lord Wei, I think you're overthinking it."
"Even if I'm overthinking it, it's because I have no choice!" Wei Yishan said, "Your people have been caught, and you can still be so calm. Obviously, you've abandoned them. I'm an outsider. If I'm no longer useful to you, won't you abandon me even more mercilessly? "
Peter shook his head. "Lord Wei, I think you must have misunderstood me. We won't abandon anyone. As for Ellie's current situation, that's just part of our current plan. "
Wei Yishan's expression changed. Part of the plan? Could it be … this was also a trap?! Impossible, Allie had taken the Three Days Heartbreak Pill …
Peter sneered when he saw the change in Wei Yishan's expression.
Wei Yishan also noticed the change on Peter's face. He had a bad feeling in his heart! This was a trap!
"How many plans do you have that I don't know?!" Wei Yishan was not afraid. Instead, he was angry. "I'll tell you! I can cooperate with you, but I'm not someone who will risk my life for you! If I don't even have the most basic guarantee of safety, I won't do it! I don't care what you threaten me with! "
"I understand what you mean, Lord Wei." Peter said, "Now that Buddhist Lord Wei has said so, it would be too much for me to force you to do what you can."
"Since I'm here today, I won't go back." Wei Yishan said, "They must be suspicious of me. I can't wait until I have no way out. I'm asking for your protection now. "
Peter nodded. "Then you can go back with me …"
"Oh?" Wei Yishan was a little hesitant. Why did this guy agree so quickly? It seemed that today was not a good day. "Do you want something to drink? It's on me. "
"No need," Peter said. "I've drunk Hua Xia's coffee. Even the American coffee from Starbucks is still a little different from our American taste. I'm not used to it. I also suggest that you don't drink it, Lord Wei. If you want to drink coffee, I'll go back and make a cup for you. "
"That's really troublesome." Wei Yishan didn't talk nonsense with him. He directly got up and said, "Let's go."
Peter nodded. Without saying anything, he got up and went straight to the door.
Coincidentally, an empty taxi passed by the roadside. Peter waved his hand and the taxi immediately stopped in front of them.
After getting into the car, the driver was just about to ask where they were going when Peter said, "Take us around. I haven't been to Shen Jiang for a long time. I want to see the changes in Shen Jiang over the years."
The driver was stunned. "I drive around?"
"Yes, just drive around. Especially the streets and alleys." Peter said, "I like the streets and alleys of Shen Jiang. There are always all kinds of new things. Driver, just drive around. I'm just going to take a look and walk around."
When the driver heard that, he felt that it was easy to earn money today. He could just walk around casually as if he was an empty car. "Alright, then I'll bring you around. Haha, your Chinese is really good. One look and I can tell that you know a lot about China!"
"You flatter me." Peter smiled.
Wei Yishan kept smiling but didn't say anything. This guy was really sneaky. He made the taxi wander around. There was no route to talk about! As long as they went out a few streets, it would be clear who was following them.
"Caution is the parent of safety." Peter glanced at Wei Yishan and said to him in Hua Xia language.
The driver thought that Peter was talking about him because he couldn't drive properly. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I've been driving for 30 years!"
"If you walk by the river often, your shoes will get wet." Wei Yishan also replied to Peter.
The driver thought that Peter was talking about him again. "Don't worry. I've been driving for so many years and have never gotten my shoes wet. To me, this is not a problem ~!"
The dialogue between the two of them really made one not know whether to laugh or cry. Wei Yishan didn't have time to explain anything to the driver. He was only worried that Ellie couldn't keep up with them and wouldn't be noticed.
The car drove for more than 30 minutes. There were a few cars following them. Wei Yishan frowned. It was so obvious that even he noticed it, but Peter still didn't react.
Wei Yishan didn't care anymore. He patted Peter's knee and pointed to the rearview mirror.
Peter smiled faintly. Then, a few words came out of his mouth, "He is one of us … Don't worry."
