Throughout November, Li Ye had been waiting for news from Hong Kong. He left the arrangements for Han Chunmei and Li Ying to go to Hong Kong to Pei Wencong—buying a house, contacting schools, hiring drivers, bodyguards, and private doctors; everything had to be handled properly.
Near the end of the month, Pei Wencong's call finally came through to Li Ye's office.
"Hello, Mr. Li. Everything has been arranged. Your family can come over at any time."
"Good. I'll notify them to go over as soon as possible. I'll have to trouble you to look after them in the future, Old Pei."
"That's only right, only right. Don't worry, Mr. Li. Actually, if possible, I'd like to have your younger sister and the others stay at my home."
"No need. They wouldn't be used to it."
Li Ye declined Pei Wencong's kindness. Mainly because Jin Peng's wife had already arrived in Hong Kong, and Han Chunmei still preferred having fellow townsfolk as neighbors. Staying in Pei Wencong's home would only make them uncomfortable.
As for Li Ye's mansion on the Peak, he had not let them move in.
Because Fu Guiru often stayed there. No matter how broad-minded his old mother was, she would not tolerate living under the same roof as her. A woman's heart was unfathomable.
After Li Ye hung up, he noticed Wu Qingyi and Zheng Jiemin sneaking glances at him from inside the office. When Li Ye glanced back at them, they immediately formed hand seals, placed their five centers toward heaven, watched their noses and their noses watched their hearts, calming their breath and nurturing their spirits.
Li Ye could not help laughing to himself. He did not know when Wu Qingyi had suddenly become obsessed with Qigong, rapidly recruiting several followers throughout the workplace.
