Zhuo Yun had just dropped Old Mr. Pei off.
"Xiao Zhuo, come in and have dinner before you leave," said Old Mr. Pei to Zhuo Yun before he got out of the car.
Zhuo Yun took out his phone when he heard his WeChat notification. When he heard Old Mr. Pei's voice, he turned around and politely rejected him. "It's okay, Old Mr. Pei. I have something to do later."
Old Mr. Pei did not insist. "Okay. Let's meet again when we have time."
"Uh huh." Zhuo Yun nodded.
Old Mr. Pei opened the door and got out of the car.
Zhuo Yun only veered his eyes after Old Mr. Pei entered the house. His eyes landed on his phone as he typed a reply to Huo Yao: [Are you saying that he might be Shangguan Yu?]
However, Huo Yao did not take out her phone, so she did not reply even after a minute. Zhuo Yun suppressed his curiosity. He started the engine and drove away.

Pei Rong had been waiting in the living room ever since he dropped Old Mr. Pei off. When he heard the door open, he instinctively raised his head.
Old Mr. Pei walked in with a worried look on his face. Based on his tightly knitted brows, it was easy to tell what he was feeling.
Pei Rong could guess what was going on. He got up to pour a glass of warm water for Old Mr. Pei. "Dad, is Min Yu's condition... serious?"
Old Mr. Pei composed himself and looked at Pei Rong. Just as he was about to say 'yes', he recalled something and immediately changed his mind. He shook his head and said, "No, it's not serious."
Then he wiped the worried look off his face and took the glass of water from Pei Rong. Without looking at him, he slowly walked over to the couch and sat down.
Pei Rong looked at Old Mr. Pei's profile thoughtfully.
He knew what kind of person his father was. As long as he had something on his mind, he could not hide it.
If he had admitted that Min Yu's condition was serious earlier, Pei Rong might have considered whether he was telling the truth or not. However, it was obvious that there was something wrong with his father.
Moreover, his father had been a virtuous person all his life and was not good at lying. At least, Old Mr. Pei could tell the difference between the truth and lies with one glance.
So, Min Yu's condition must be very serious.
Pei Rong's eyes flickered. He walked over to the sofa opposite Old Mr. Pei and sat down. He nodded and said, "I'm glad Young Master Min is fine. I was worried that if something happened to him, the Pei family would have to bear the responsibility, so I asked Vice Chairman Qin if he had any special medicine."
"Yes." Old Mr. Pei held the glass of water and replied perfunctorily. However, he quickly raised his head and asked in surprise. "What special medicine?"
Pei Rong was even more certain of his guess. A strange look appeared in his eyes as he said, "Dad, have you heard of the Shangguans?"
Old Mr. Pei's eyes widened at the mention of the Shangguan family.
Pei Rong averted his eyes and looked at the tip of his toes. He continued to speak in a soft voice. "Vice Chairman Qin mentioned that he has medicine from the Shangguan clan. Rumor has it that the Shangguan clan's medical skills are unparalleled, so it's only natural for their medicine to be good. I reckon it should be able to cure Min Yu's body."
Old Mr. Pei naturally knew about the Shangguan clan. Two years ago, the Min family had been searching for the Shangguan clan to no avail. Hence, he had always thought that the Shangguan clan was just a rumor.
However, when he heard rumors of the Shangguan clan's medicine being sold at an underground auction in the capital, he overturned the rumor.
If Young Master Min really had medicine from the Shangguan clan, then perhaps...
Old Mr. Pei's eyes lit up with hope as he contemplated. He could not be bothered to hide it anymore, so he hurriedly asked. "Rong, is what you said true?"
