I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Chapter 224 Is she jealous?

After Pei Jingchuan listened to Jiang Yuzhu's words, after a moment of silence, he reached out his hand and gently touched her hair.

"If you feel uncomfortable in the hospital environment, you may also consider resigning."

His voice was cold, but it contained an imperceptible concern.

"The Pei family has many medical research laboratories, and there is indeed a lack of talents with professionalism and moral bottom line like you."

Jiang Yuzhu was slightly shocked, looked up at Pei Jingchuan, and smiled lightly.

"Jingchuan, I don't want to rely on the Pei Group to realize my own value."

Pei Jingchuan slowly withdrew his hands from her hair and looked at her, seeming to be pondering every word and every emotion she said.

"I understand, I will respect the path you want to take."

He finally said, although his voice was still cold, there was a bit more obvious recognition and respect in it.

Before the conversation between the two ended completely, there were slight footsteps at the door, and Qin Chenkai walked in.

He looked around, his eyes lingering on Pei Jingchuan for a while, then walked to him, lowered his head gently and said to him: "Mr. Jingchuan, Miss Ye has an appointment tonight."

Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly and was about to respond to Qin Chenkai, but Jiang Yuzhu caught this sentence.

A hint of complexity flashed across her eyes for a moment, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared awkwardly.

"Miss Ye?" She tried to hide her emotions, but there was still a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Pei Jingchuan noticed her change, glanced at Qin Chenkai coldly, and motioned for him to leave.

Then he turned to look at Jiang Yuzhu: "There is a work dinner tonight, nothing special."

Jiang Yuzhu bit his lower lip gently, with a subtle hint of disappointment in his expression. "I see."

Pei Jingchuan glanced at her, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Ask Mother Chen to cook something you like, and I will be back early in the evening."

Jiang Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, he raised his eyes and nodded.

"I'm leaving first. You have a work dinner to attend to tonight." Jiang Yuzhu stood up and prepared to leave.

After Jiang Yuzhu heard Pei Jingchuan's explanation, the complex expression on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a faint understanding.

"I understand, work is important, you should do your work first." She calmed down her emotions and said with a smile.

Pei Jingchuan glanced at her, his deep eyes full of silent emotions, "Okay, we will have plenty of time to meet in the future."

At this moment, Qin Chenkai appeared next to them again and asked awkwardly: "Madam, do you need me to take you home?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head, "No, I'll take a taxi back myself."

After saying that, she stood up, looked at Pei Jingchuan, nodded gently as a farewell, then turned and left the cafe.

As soon as Jiang Yuzhu entered the villa, he smelled the heat and the aroma of food.

She smiled slightly and felt a touch of the warmth of home.

"Madam, you are back." Mother Chen walked out of the kitchen, holding a rag in her hand.

"Well, Mom Chen, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yuzhu said gently.

Mother Chen smiled and then said, "Do you want to wait for your husband to have dinner with you tonight?"

Jiang Yuzhu's heart trembled.

She thought that Pei Jingchuan might have dined with Ye Qingning at a work dinner, and bit her lower lip slightly, trying to hide her emotions.

"No, Mom Chen, my husband has something to do tonight, so it may be late. Just make me one."

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head gently and tried to sound natural in his tone.Mother Chen noticed the change in her mood, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded slightly: "Okay, madam."

Jiang Yuzhu turned around and walked upstairs. Although his steps were steady, his heart felt like he was lightly poked by something.

She walked to the bedroom, closed the door gently, sat on the edge of the bed, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.

Then she looked at the photo on the bedside table. It was a photo of her and Pei Jingchuan, both of whom were smiling happily.

And at this time, the other end.

The dinner scene was brightly lit, with exquisite crystal chandeliers casting light on various precious decorations and people wearing evening clothes.

Pei Jingchuan sat at a round table with gold edges, his expression as usual.

At this moment, Mr. Ye led Ye Qingning over.

Their arrival immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, the Ye Family and the Pei Group were both industry leaders.

"Jingchuan, long time no see!" Mr. Ye patted Pei Jingchuan's shoulder enthusiastically and sat next to him.

Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ye, long time no see."

"Do you still remember when you and Qing Ning played together when you were a child? The two little guys had a great relationship at that time."

Mr. Ye began to recall interesting things about the two of them when they were young, his tone full of intimacy and hints.

Pei Jingchuan's face darkened slightly. He didn't like others using such suggestive topics to influence him.

"I remember, but it was a long time ago after all." He said lightly, with a hint of imperceptible coldness in his words.

Ye Qingning noticed the change in Pei Jingchuan's face and felt a little nervous.

She knew that he was very disgusted with such suggestions and manipulations.

"Dad, we have a new project recently, can we share it with Mr. Pei?"

Ye Qingning quickly changed the topic, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Mr. Ye was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand his daughter's intention. He smiled and said, "Of course, we are preparing a very potential project recently. Maybe Mr. Pei will be interested."

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly, expressing his interest in the new project, but his expression was still like a pool of still water, making it difficult to understand.

"That's worth listening to." He finally said, while turning his eyes slightly to the sidelines.

What he was thinking about was the previous conversation with Jiang Yuzhu.

He remembered the complicated look in her eyes and the visibly changed color on her face after hearing about "Miss Ye's" date.

This made him feel that compared to this so-called new project, he might be more concerned about other things.

Ye Qingning noticed that Pei Jingchuan was not fully engaged in this topic, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still tried her best to maintain a smile.

Mr. Ye enthusiastically described the prospects of the new project, "This project involves a new generation of biomedical technology. Our Ye family has an advanced research team and abundant funds, but if we can join forces with the Pei Group, the success rate will be higher." .”

Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly, "Then whose hands is this project now?"

"Gu family." The corner of Mr. Ye's mouth raised. "Although they own this project, they obviously lack funds and technology. If we work together, it is entirely possible to snatch this project away from them."

Pei Jingchuan was calm in his heart, but he understood the stakes and complexity involved.

"I need to think carefully." Pei Jingchuan finally said calmly.

Mr. Ye showed a slightly disappointed expression, but still smiled, "Of course, you can't decide on this kind of thing too quickly. I'm waiting for your good news."
