Wei Yinuo bit her lip, seemingly hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Auntie, um...did you hear me talking to my uncle on the phone just now?"

Song Zhi didn't hide anything and nodded frankly, replying, "Yes, I heard you."

After receiving an affirmative answer, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of guilt flashed in Wei Yinuo's eyes. She then cautiously pressed on, "So, Auntie, did you and Uncle have a fight?"

Faced with this question, Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head and denied it, saying, "We didn't argue."

Wei Yinuo clearly didn't believe Song Zhi's explanation. She frowned and continued to press, "But if you didn't argue, why did you ignore my uncle? Did he do something bad to you that made you angry?"

Song Zhi didn't want Wei Yinuo to get too involved in her emotional entanglement with Fu Lu, fearing that the little girl would make wild guesses and affect her mood.

So she just smiled and replied perfunctorily, "Don't overthink it, Yinuo, it's really nothing."

“Last night, my uncle came to see you, but you ignored him. This morning, when he brought you breakfast and told me not to tell you, I knew he must have done something bad.”

Song Zhi didn't lower her eyes and didn't speak for a while.

"Yinuo, this is between your uncle and me. No matter whether your uncle and I end up together or not, we can still be good friends."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo jumped to her feet and exclaimed, "You, you want to break up with my uncle?"

Song Zhi responded softly, "Maybe."

Wei Yinuo immediately bristled: "Did my uncle do something bad? Tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."

Song Zhi shook her head helplessly: "Alright, Yinuo, this is a matter between me and your uncle. Let us handle it ourselves, okay?"

After hearing what Song Zhi said, Wei Yinuo ultimately didn't say anything more.

After Song Zhi turned and left, Wei Yinuo hurriedly reached into her pocket and quickly pulled out her phone.

Her fingers flew across the screen as she frantically searched for Fu Lu's phone number in her call log.

However, just as she was about to press the dial button, a sudden phone ring rang out...

Wei Yinuo looked closely and saw that it was Zhou Yan calling.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about her uncle's messy affairs. She quickly put them aside and pressed the call button without hesitation.

"Hey, Uncle, did you see the WeChat message I sent you earlier?"

Zhou Yan's voice came slowly from the other end of the phone: "I just saw it."

Upon hearing this answer, Wei Yinuo quickly said, "Then how about this, Uncle, I'll arrange for a delivery person to come and pick up your medicine right away."

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yan replied, "I'm at the company right now, not at home."

Wei Yinuo subconsciously raised her wrist, glanced at the time on her watch, and couldn't help but feel quite surprised: "Huh? It's only eight o'clock now, you're already at the company so early?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle, then said in a teasing tone, "That's right, what can you do? Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while someone like me, born into misfortune, can only be a hardworking ox or a horse!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo's lips twitched involuntarily.

She muttered to herself: "He looks so carefree and irresponsible."

Deduct one point!

Of course, he only said this to himself.

She asked again, "Uncle, Aunt Zhang should be home, right?"

"Not here."

"Oh no, what should we do then? Or maybe your company's..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Yan interrupted her, saying, "Come to the company to get it. I brought it to my company."

Can I have Flash Delivery pick it up?

"Can't."

Wei Yinuo: "..."

Wei Yinuo said with dissatisfaction, "Then what should we do? My feet hurt a lot, and I can't go by myself."

"I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up. Get ready."

Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised: "Now?"

"Okay, we'll go downstairs when we're ready."

More than ten minutes later, Wei Yinuo limped downstairs in the residential area.

As she stood by the roadside, taking out her phone to call Zhou Yan, a black Bentley pulled up in front of her.

Wei Yinuo subconsciously took two steps back to the side.

The next second, the car door opened.

A man wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses got out of the car.

Upon seeing Wei Yinuo, he smiled and said to her, "Miss Wei, Young Master Zhou arranged for me to pick you up."

Wei Yinuo looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her with a wary expression: "Who are you?"

"My name is Li Bin, and I am Zhou Shao's assistant."

"Zhou Yan?"

Li Bin nodded: "Yes."

Wei Yinuo didn't say anything, but instead picked up her phone and called Zhou Yan to confirm.

When the call connected, Zhou Yan's voice came through: "Niece, did Li Bin pick you up?"

Wei Yinuo glanced at Li Bin, then nodded: "Yes, I wanted to confirm with you."

Zhou Yan scoffed, "The little guy is quite wary."

Wei Yinuo pouted: "I just have a strong sense of self-safety, you know?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

She grinned at Li Bin and said, "Brother Li Bin, then I'll have to trouble you."

Li Bin looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and his cheeks flushed involuntarily. He coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness, and then considerately opened the back door for Wei Yinuo: "Miss Wei, please get in the car."

Wei Yinuo nodded and got into the car.

Wei Yinuo didn't say a word the whole way, but sat in the back seat playing on her phone.

Xu Ning messaged her, asking how her leg recovery was going.

Wei Yinuo edited a message for him and sent it out.

Li Bin, who was driving in front, would occasionally glance at the girl sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

She was also secretly wondering about the relationship between Wei Yinuo and Zhou Yan.

While waiting at a traffic light, Li Bin couldn't help but ask, "Miss Wei, what are you and Young Master Zhou's relationship?"

Wei Yinuo looked up, smiled, and explained, "He's my uncle."

Li Bin was somewhat surprised: "Uncle?"

Wei Yinuo nodded: "Mm."

Li Bin smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I really didn't realize that Young Master Zhou had such a grown niece."

Wei Yinuo didn't say anything.

Li Bin, being quite sensible, didn't say anything more.

Only after the car came to a smooth stop in front of the building did Li Bin speak: "Miss Wei, we've arrived."

Wei Yinuo looked up at the towering twin towers outside the window: "Is Uncle Zhou Yan's company located here?"

Li Bin nodded: "Yes, it's on the sixty-third floor. You can go up first, I'll go park the car."

Wei Yinuo nodded: "Okay, thank you."

Wei Yinuo got out of the car and limped towards the building. After explaining the situation to the receptionist, the receptionist saw that she was having difficulty walking and took out the elevator card to swipe it for her personally.

After thanking the receptionist, Wei Yinuo entered the elevator.
