Chapter 2161: Chapter 2162: Have Auntie Ask
"What, that bastard Wei Zixu didn’t tell you he’s now the godson of Ruoxi’s parents?"
Although Wei Zixu calls Qiu Ruoxi "little sister," Ye Xunhuan doesn’t think Wei Zixu can make him call him "big brother-in-law," so Ye Xunhuan thinks it’s better to first let Tang Wen call Qiu Ruoxi "sister-in-law," and then have Wei Zixu call him "big brother!"
Tang Wen shook her head, looking a bit puzzled: "He didn’t say!"
"That guy must have deliberately not told you." Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "Next time, you need to have a good talk with him about some family manners!"
A faint blush slowly climbed up Tang Wen’s face, and she shyly changed the subject: "President Ye, but you should sign this document first, so I can save myself another trip to see President Qiu!"
"What about President Lin?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly, "Why not go to her?"
"She’s on her honeymoon now!" Tang Wen said with a face full of exasperated lines, "You really forgot about President Lin’s wedding!"
Back then, Lin Caidie told Ye Xunhuan that she was getting married and hoped Ye Xunhuan could always stay at the company, and at that time Ye Xunhuan even promised to prepare a big red envelope for her wedding!
But now Ye Xunhuan had truly forgotten all about it.
Ye Xunhuan gave an awkward smile, "There’s been a lot going on lately, I really forgot!"
"I’ll leave that alone, but please sign this for me first!"
As she spoke, Tang Wen opened the folder and handed a ballpoint pen to Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced over the folder briefly and, seeing it was just ordinary paperwork, directly signed his name on it.
"Thanks!" Tang Wen put the folder away, "I’ll get back to work!"
"Wait a minute!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly said.
Tang Wen looked at Ye Xunhuan with some confusion, "What is it?"
"When do you plan to settle things with Wei Zixu?" Ye Xunhuan asked with great curiosity.
"Not telling you!"
With that, Tang Wen quickly left the place with a red face, like a defeated soldier fleeing in disarray.
Watching Tang Wen’s receding figure, Ye Xunhuan slowly fell into deep thought.
For some reason, at a particular moment, Ye Xunhuan always felt that Tang Wen wasn’t that simple, and she gave him a strange feeling, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was strange.
Afterwards, Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, didn’t think much more, and walked directly into his office.
Although Ye Xunhuan hadn’t been coming to work recently, the office had always been cleaned, looking spotless.
Sitting in his office, Ye Xunhuan smoked a cigarette, then left to find Qiu Ruoxi.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at Qiu Ruoxi’s office, this woman named Long Zu Puti was there for who knows what reason, discussing something with Qiu Ruoxi.
But Ye Xunhuan’s arrival made the two women stop their discussion immediately.
"Puti, go organize your things for now!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly to Long Zu Puti.
Long Zu Puti nodded, "Alright, President Qiu, I’ll get to work!"
With that, Long Zu Puti turned and left, but while leaving, she shot a glance or two at Ye Xunhuan, as if to say: "Bastard, you actually know how to come back, just wait for me!"
Upon understanding the hidden meaning in Long Zu Puti’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan felt an inexplicable discomfort.
He really came at quite the wrong time, running into Long Zu Puti here, if he’d known he wouldn’t have come!
After Long Zu Puti left, Qiu Ruoxi cast her gaze on Ye Xunhuan, softly asking him, "Is Dongfang Shu okay?"
Ye Xunhuan had gone to Xiangzhang Mansion, which Qiu Ruoxi knew, so she inquired about it.
"It’s still the same old matters." Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly, "She’s from the Dongfang family!"
"But she’s had a rough life, her mother practically died at the hands of the Dongfang family. You remember when we went to Dongnan City together, someone came, you know that..." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Ye Xunhuan briefly explained the situation to Qiu Ruoxi.
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s recount, Qiu Ruoxi sighed softly, "I never expected such a dark childhood hidden behind Dongfang Shu..."
In this world, people only see the surface glamour of others, how many have thought about how others have walked step by step to today?
Then, Qiu Ruoxi shifted the topic, "Doesn’t that mean she’ll have to live in constant fear from now on?"
"Unless the Dongfang family can be dealt with once and for all!"
"So you want to help her, resolve her worries from the root, is that right?" Qiu Ruoxi questioned while looking straight at Ye Xunhuan. freēwēbnovel.com
Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze wasn’t particularly sharp, nor was it mild, yet it somehow made Ye Xunhuan feel as if it could pierce through his thoughts.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t hide anything, he nodded directly, "Yes, I want to help her resolve these issues, and I also want to see how certain people will respond!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak, but she began to look Ye Xunhuan up and down.
After glancing at him several times, Qiu Ruoxi slowly asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Not really!" Ye Xunhuan replied softly.
"When do you plan to help her solve this issue?"
"In the next two or three days!"
"Be careful."
Ye Xunhuan was slightly surprised looking at Qiu Ruoxi, "Wife, does that mean you support this?"
"Whether I support it or not, you’re going to do it anyway, aren’t you?" Qiu Ruoxi said calmly.
Ye Xunhuan fell silent, indeed, regardless of whether Qiu Ruoxi supported it or not, he would still go ahead and do it.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan in silence, Qiu Ruoxi spoke again, "Since the outcome is the same, why should I bother stopping you?"
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan was at a loss for words, finding himself in silence.
"No matter what, make sure you stay safe." Qiu Ruoxi added another sentence.
"I know!"
Then, Qiu Ruoxi switched topics, "By the way, I haven’t been able to reach Mu Ge lately, have your aunt look into it, see if Mu Ge encountered any issues!"
Ye Xunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi mention Qin Muge.
Ye Xunhuan was aware of Qin Muge’s return to the capital earlier, and knew her father Qin Fangbin was seriously ill, and Qin Muge was taking care of him.
But he hadn’t expected Qin Muge not to come back yet, and more importantly, Qiu Ruoxi was now unable to reach Qin Muge.
It should be known that Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Muge are close friends, Qin Muge couldn’t have just cut off contact with Qiu Ruoxi like this.
"Got it, I’ll have Aunt look into it!"
