Chapter 18 Are you sure you want to help him?
Niannian shook her head to indicate that she was fine, then looked at Wang Fang, who looked like she had done something wrong and was waiting for judgment, and said to Secretary Bai in a childish voice:
"Uncle Bai, I'm fine. I just tripped and fell. I need to see my uncle. Let's go quickly!"
Hearing what Nian Nian said, Wang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little surprised, because Nian Nian's answer was completely unexpected.
At the same time, Secretary Bai glanced at Wang Fang, then gently pinched Nian Nian's chubby little face and said with a smile:
"Okay...go find your uncle!"
After saying that, he picked up Niannian, turned around, walked to the access control system, swiped his card, and went upstairs. Along the way, he didn't forget to chat with Niannian, "Niannian, have you gained weight?"
Niannian was a little confused and frowned. "No..." she said, then waved goodbye to Wang Fang.

Meanwhile, the ancient Eastern Six Palaces...
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Pei Yunjing, who, as always, quietly studied and practiced calligraphy, the room filled with the faint scent of ink.
Suddenly, a "whoosh" broke the silence as a dart flew in through the window and landed firmly on the table.
Pei Yunjing frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the dart. He carefully picked it up through his sleeve and found a letter tied to it.
A sense of doubt arose in his heart. With a solemn expression, he opened the envelope. Inside, on the letter, several large characters were written:
"Meet me in the back garden at midnight tomorrow..."
Who would invite me to the back garden?
Pei Yunjing frowned, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. But quickly, he tore the letter to shreds and set it on fire, making sure no trace was left.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and Consort De walked in slowly. Her face was filled with concern, and Yunshang followed behind her, carrying several exquisite food boxes.
Consort De asked softly, "Jing'er, how are you feeling today? Do you still feel dizzy?"
Pei Yunjing smiled and replied, "Mother, rest assured, I am fine now."
Yunshang silently placed the food box on the tea table, carefully opened the lid, and arranged various delicacies. Finally, she tactfully withdrew, leaving the space to Consort De and Pei Yunjing.
Pei Yunjing was conflicted, unsure whether he should tell his mother about it. He remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to keep it a secret.
He slowly walked to the tea table and sat down, picking up the teapot and gently pouring a cup of hot tea for his mother. As the fragrant aroma of the tea rose, Pei Yunjing softly asked:
"Mother... has the Crown Prince made things difficult for you again recently?"
Speaking of Crown Prince Pei Huai Ren, he was an arrogant and conceited fellow who relied on his favored status.
He was arrogant and domineering because he was the Empress's biological son. He bullied others at will and never took anyone seriously!
Last time, it was also because Pei Huai-ren was in a hurry that he accidentally bumped into Consort De. This was a trivial matter, but he refused to admit his mistake and even insulted Consort De for being blind.
Consort De was kind and gentle by nature and did not want to argue with the Crown Prince, so she just silently endured it.
But Pei Yunjing was different; he couldn't tolerate anyone insulting his mother like that. In the past, he had always been tolerant of the Crown Prince, but today he couldn't help but argue with him...
Consort De said softly, "No... According to Her Majesty the Empress, the Crown Prince has been very busy with his studies lately, so he rarely leaves the palace..."
Pei Yunjing put down his teacup and said slowly, "That's good then..."
At the same time, his gaze turned cold...

Fast forward to the present day, within the Fu Group…
In Fu Ci's office, Niannian sat obediently on the sofa, quietly waiting for her uncle.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Fu Ci strode in with his long legs, his face full of doting smiles: "Oh! This is a rare guest!"
His words carried a hint of amusement, because Niannian had been in the Fu family for so long but had never set foot here before.
Niannian chuckled and called out softly, "Uncle..." Her voice revealed a hint of shyness and anticipation.
Looking at Niannian's adorable appearance, Fu Ci felt a sense of foreboding. "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"
This expression reminded him of his younger sister, who always looked like this when she was scheming against people.
"Hehe..." Niannian chuckled foolishly, her eyes sparkling with mischievousness. "Uncle, I want a hundred sets of skincare products. Would you sell them to me?"
"Buy! Of course I'll buy! Why not make money if it's too good to pass up?" Fu Ci answered without hesitation, his face beaming with the shrewdness of a businessman.
However, the next second, his expression turned very strange.
"Wait!" Fu Ci's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and his voice rose several octaves. "What did you just say? A hundred sets? What do you need so many for?"
Niannian blinked her big eyes, lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Fu Ci, her tone pleading, "Can I not say?"
After saying that, she unzipped the small backpack, reached inside and took out a heavy gold ingot, then stuffed it into Fu Ci's arms.
She said earnestly, "This is a deposit! Once I receive one hundred sets, I'll pay the balance to you, Uncle!"
After saying that, she put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back proudly, and her face was full of pride and arrogance.
Fu Ci was completely stunned, staring blankly at the gold ingot in his hand, utterly at a loss.
He picked up the gold ingot and examined it closely, discovering that its workmanship was exquisite and its craftsmanship superb, making it seem unlike any modern item.
His brows furrowed deeply as he turned to look at Niannian, demanding sternly, "Where did this come from, Niannian?"
Niannian shivered at his stern look. She shrank back and mumbled softly, "Someone else gave it to me..."
"Who?" Fu Ci continued to press.
She pouted, "Brother Pei Yunjing in the bronze mirror..."
!!!
Upon hearing the name, Fu Ci froze, frowning slightly. "Are you sure you want to help him?"
He was speaking as if he were talking to someone else through his thoughts.
Niannian stood there stunned for a long time, her big eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Her little hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, making her look somewhat nervous and uneasy.
She nodded gently, her voice soft but firm: "Yes, Brother Yun Jing is very good to me, he's not a bad person."
Fu Ci took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down.
“Niannian, do you know what you’re doing?” Fu Ci’s voice was low and serious, his eyes filled with worry. “Pei Yunjing, he’s not an ordinary person, he…”
"Then what about him? What is he? Isn't he a very powerful AI guy?" Niannian asked, puzzled.
"Ai?"
Fu Ci remained calm upon hearing this. It seemed that Nian Nian had mistaken Pei Yun Jing for an AI? "You must be mistaken! Good heavens!"
Pinduoduo claims I'm better than 99.9% of people, so why am I still not famous?
