Chapter 514 Finn's Slip of the Tongue
Chapter 514 Finn's Slip of the Tongue
Once people focus on doing something, they will forget about time.
Xu Weiwei sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa, staring at the computer screen.
Suddenly, a bell rang in the hall. The sound was ancient and deep, but it only startled Xu Weiwei in the quiet atmosphere. He raised his head and looked around.
"It's used to tell time. Don't be nervous." Finn explained.
"Oh~ So that's how it is. Your family is quite particular about it. Is it someone really ringing the bell or is it a recorded sound? It doesn't ring at every hour, right?" Xu Weiwei asked curiously.
"Well, it only rings once at 11 a.m., 5 p.m., and 9 p.m. My mother always complains about it being too noisy. It's so annoying..."
Finn suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned, and looked upstairs. Xu Weiwei also understood instantly and waited nervously.
When the residual sound completely faded away and there was still no movement upstairs, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
They looked at each other and laughed.
Xu Weiwei was wise after the event and patted Finn's shoulder in a pretentious manner: "Don't worry, she won't wake up unless you beat gongs and drums in her ears."
"Why, do you look like you have no confidence in me?"
Finn lowered his head and chuckled, "No, I don't dare."
Seeing how cooperative he was, Xu Weiwei felt a little embarrassed. She coughed and changed the subject. "It's so late, I should go too. If you have any follow-up questions, we can communicate online at any time."
Finn also stood up: "Okay. I'll take you there."
The temperature was very low late at night, and the housekeeper brought a shawl. When Xu Weiwei took it, she found that it was still warm.
The elegant young butler smiled elegantly: "I have put it by the fireplace to roast since you came in."
Xu was slightly surprised, then smiled gratefully: "Thank you, you are so thoughtful."
Watching the car lights disappear at the end of the road, Finn turned around and stared at his butler silently.
"Master, did I... do something wrong?"
"No, you did a good job." Finn said and turned away, leaving the latter disheveled in the cold wind.
The butler was a smart man after all. He quickly figured out the key to the matter and was amused by his young master's little thoughts. He shook his head and quickly chased after him.
After entering the door, Finn stopped at the entrance and told the butler, "Vencent, stop the clock."
The butler was stunned. He didn't expect Finn to suddenly say such a thing.
He was a servant trained by the Wolfhard family. He was raised by the old butler since he was a child. He was very clear about the internal affairs of the family and at the same time maintained absolute loyalty.
As far as he knew, ringing the bell was a tradition that had existed since the birth of the Wolfhard family, reminding everyone to go downstairs for dinner.
But later, the third owner of the family liked quietness and was annoyed by all kinds of "guests" from far and near who came to his house with a purpose, so he changed the time, and the purpose of ringing the bell secretly became to thank the guests.
Until now, no one cares about the side branches, but the old house and the main branch have continued this habit.
Finn suddenly wanted to make a change, and the housekeeper didn't dare to make a decision easily.
"Sir, he..."
Finn raised his hand impatiently to interrupt: "Mother's health is more important. Just be flexible in the future. I will talk to father."
The butler bowed and said respectfully, "Yes."
Finn walked up the stairs.
"Apart from Madam, isn't there a reason for Miss Wei'er?"
Finn paused, and when he turned around and saw Vencent's fake smile, he was furious. He had disliked him for a long time, and now he wanted to send him to planet G44.
"Did I ever tell you that you have an annoying smile?"
The housekeeper froze, watching Finn go upstairs, then he touched his face and said helplessly: "It's so sad..."
At this moment, a maid was obviously rushing towards him. Vencent immediately returned to normal, with his hands behind his back, looking calm and unhurried.
"what happened?"
……
On the way out, Xu Weiwei felt a little uneasy. It seemed like she had forgotten something, but she had no idea what it was. It wasn't until the car was halfway through that she suddenly realized -
"Beta!!!"
The driver was also startled, and immediately responded: "Miss, do you want to go back?" How could he forget? Oh no! It was all because the car was too warm, and he was a little drowsy...
Xu Weiwei smiled speechlessly, wondering what was going on. Why were they throwing sandbags here?
Fortunately, she was only halfway there. If she had already reached home, she would probably not want to move anymore.
Just as he was about to tell the driver to turn around, a communication request popped up on the computer.
Seeing that it was from Finn, Xu Weiwei picked up the phone immediately. The driver slowed down and stopped the car on the side of the road.
"...Hmm! I'm sorry, I forget things so easily... Is that so? Well then... thank you for your help... Hmm..."
Xu Weiwei did not play the audio out loud, so the driver could not hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but judging from what his lady said, he should not need to go back.
Sure enough, after Xu Weiwei hung up, she said, "Let's go."
The next day, Finn changed his clothes and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching the news. Two big dogs were running around in the living room, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Mrs. Wolfhard had a good night's sleep, and she came downstairs radiant and full of energy. She was even more delighted to see this scene.
"Hey~ Isn't this Beta? Did Weier leave it behind yesterday?"
"Well, I forgot about it when I left. I said I'd come get it today and bring you something."
Mrs. Wolfhard grabbed Beta's head and rubbed it with amusement: "You are making our Beta like an object...isn't that right? Hmm? Shake hands!..."
The butler came over with a pot of tea, his chest straightened. The young master is still inexperienced. How can this relationship work without his advice? Hehehehe...
The agreed time was approaching, and Finn got up and walked out immediately after receiving a notification from the outside of the villa, followed by the two dogs.
Just seeing the person getting out of the car, Finn's mouth corners instantly flattened.
Although he was puzzled, he still stepped forward to shake hands with the other party. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, his brain stopped working -
"Second brother."
There was a sudden thunderclap, shocking everyone around.
The expressions of the two parties involved were completely broken.
Finn's mind went blank, he was in deep self-doubt, and was a bit overwhelmed. Ryan, on the other hand, felt like he wanted to get angry but couldn't, like a firecracker was exploding in his mouth.
If Xu Weiwei was there, she would definitely feel that her eyes were opened and take photos as souvenirs.
They were the two calmest and most controlled people she knew, and it was rare for them to react so strongly.
Mrs. Wolfhard said blankly, "You mean, 'Second Brother Wei', right...?"
"My young master didn't get enough rest last night, please don't be offended. Is this something you brought? Do you need me to help you get it?"
