Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Trouble Strikes
Bright sunlight cascaded down from the sky, piercing through the layers of clouds, spanning the horizon from east to west.
Because of Ye Xunhuan’s return, Qiu Shuihan wasn’t sporting a stern face, and Xiahou Yutong was in high spirits, preparing a lavish breakfast.
During the meal, no one mentioned the divorce between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi that had happened the day before, as if everyone had already forgotten about it!
After breakfast, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi left the villa straight away to go to work.
However, today Ye Xunhuan didn’t head directly to the Imperial Map Group but instead drove to pick up Tang Yurou.
After sending Tang Yurou home last night, Ye Xunhuan had thought of picking her up for work!
Tang Yurou’s home was in the old town, and the Imperial Map Group was located in the most bustling business center of Jiangzhong City. The distance was far from ordinary; even taking a taxi would require a long time, the bus necessitated changing two or three times, and even the subway required a transfer!
Although Ye Xunhuan hadn’t been in contact with Tang Yurou for long, he thought that it was unlikely for Tang Yurou to take a taxi, so she must be taking the bus or the subway.
So, Ye Xunhuan thought he might as well pick her up. It wouldn’t waste much time, and he could also cultivate a relationship with Tang Yurou. How great!
When Ye Xunhuan had just driven to the old town, he immediately saw Tang Yurou coming out. Then he opened the car window and called out to Tang Yurou, "Yu Rou..."
Upon hearing someone calling her, Tang Yurou immediately looked towards the source of the voice. When she saw Ye Xunhuan sitting in the car, waving at her, Tang Yurou was first startled, then her face broke into a pleased smile.
At that moment, Tang Yurou couldn’t help but have the scene of her kissing Ye Xunhuan the previous night flash through her mind, causing her face to immediately betray a hint of shyness!
"Yu Rou, hurry up and get in the car!"
The next moment, Tang Yurou walked toward Ye Xunhuan, "How come you’re here?"
Tang Yurou was genuinely surprised, or rather, she hadn’t dared to even entertain the thought that Ye Xunhuan would come to give her a ride to work.
"Of course, to pick you up for work!" said Ye Xunhuan with a cheerful smile. "Come on, get in the car quickly!"
Tang Yurou nodded and got straight into the car.
After Tang Yurou got in, Ye Xunhuan immediately drove off.
Just as Tang Yurou left in the car, some of the residents of the old town immediately started discussing.
"Isn’t that Old Tang’s daughter?" a middle-aged woman said as she watched the departing Mercedes.
"That’s her, the daughter of the Old Tang family. She’s the most beautiful around here, just like a fairy," another middle-aged woman said enviously, "I wish she could be my daughter-in-law!"
"Your son and the daughter of the Old Tang family?" another scoffed, "She’s bound to be a wealthy lady in the future. Did you see the car that picked her up just now?"
"A Mercedes, worth at least hundreds of thousands. Old Tang’s going to be blessed..."
"Bah, who knows if she’s just someone’s mistress out there..."
The people chattered, with many of them expressing envy, jealousy, and resentment, speaking sourly of grapes they couldn’t reach.
However, in Huaxia, such a phenomenon is quite normal, as there are many people who just can’t stand seeing others do well.
"Xunhuan, how come you didn’t tell me before coming, what if I had left?" Tang Yurou’s face was filled with sweet and joyous smiles.
"I did consult the fortune for myself before coming, I was sure you wouldn’t leave," Ye Xunhuan blurted out.
"As if!" Tang Yurou pouted, "I don’t believe that. If you really could tell fortunes, then predict for me..."
"Alright, I’ll predict for you!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "According to my years of experience with astrology and fortune-telling, you will undoubtedly live a life of immense wealth and the man you marry will definitely be as handsome as me..."
While speaking, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t resist starting to sing his own praises.
"Who... Who’s going to marry you!" Tang Yurou’s hands had somehow clasped together, as she said with a coyly lowered head.
"Who knows who will marry, who knows!"
All along the way, Ye Xunhuan would from time to time crack a joke with Tang Yurou, neither too big nor too small, filling the atmosphere inside the car with warmth.
The more Ye Xunhuan interacted with Tang Yurou, the more adorable he found her, and that pure aura of hers was even more attractive to him.
Being with Tang Yurou made Ye Xunhuan feel as if there was a pond of clear water beside him, cleansing his dark and dirty heart.
Time always flies especially fast during happy moments; unconsciously, Ye Xunhuan had driven to the Huangtu Group. After parking the car, the two immediately headed toward the Huangtu Group building.
Since Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou had come to work together, and Tang Yurou had ridden in Ye Xunhuan’s car, many had seen this, and like a swift gale, it immediately swept through the entire Huangtu Group.
Nearly half the people in the Huangtu Group were discussing this matter, speculating that Tang Yurou and Ye Xunhuan might be living together.
Naturally, the news didn’t escape Qin Muge’s notice.
Upon learning this, Qin Muge immediately felt depressed and gloomy, and a cold frost covered her exquisite face, "I really didn’t expect that in just a few days, this bastard would hook up with Tang Yurou..."
Ye Xunhuan was a man who had slept with her, Qin Muge, and although they had agreed to be friends with benefits, he was still her first man.
Now seeing her first man getting cozy and sweet with another woman, it would be odd if she felt good about it!
Such gossipy news naturally wasn’t something people dared to whisper in Qiu Ruoxi’s ears, so by the time Qiu Ruoxi found out, it had already spread throughout the entire Huangtu Group.
Upon hearing this news, Qiu Ruoxi was so infuriated she felt itchy in her gums, "Scoundrel, bastard, why did you run off so quickly this morning? It turns out you went to pick up Tang Yurou. Do you really think I, this little missus, am just for show as a wife?"
Even if Qiu Ruoxi was displeased and dissatisfied with Ye Xunhuan, he was still her husband after all. Seeing her own husband hooking up with another woman was something no woman could endure, even if it was just in name!
This was a matter of face.
If word got out, her man, Qiu Ruoxi, was messing around with an employee under her, who knows how many people would die laughing.
Thus, Qiu Ruoxi decided she had to sort out Ye Xunhuan properly and make this scoundrel show some restraint for her sake.
But before Qiu Ruoxi got the chance to sort out Ye Xunhuan, close to the end of the workday, six policemen suddenly arrived at the Huangtu Group, looking for Ye Xunhuan, saying he was suspected of a premeditated murder case!
