Chapter 293: Chapter 0293: Xu Mingzhe’s Invitation
Partings are always the source of sorrow since ancient times!
Even though Qiu Ruoxi wished Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong would leave quickly, when she actually took them to the airport, there was not the slightest hint of happiness in her heart, and her eyes were filled with reluctance.
It is said that when a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries, but when parents aren’t present, how can their children remain indifferent?
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi found herself wishing that her parents would stay a few more days.
Humans are complicated animals, and they are also creatures of change.
When Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan stayed around, she, Qiu Ruoxi, wanted them to leave, but now that they were about to leave, she felt an immense reluctance!
"Alright, you two should head back!" Qiu Shuihan waved his hands and said, "Your mother and I will be boarding the plane soon!"
"Dad, mom isn’t in good health, and I’m not around to take care of her. Please look after mom a bit more..."
"As long as you don’t upset your mom, she won’t have any issues," Qiu Shuihan said matter-of-factly. "If by this time next year you could give us a grandson, your mom certainly won’t have any problems!"
For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t quite know what to say.
Now, Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan were talking about nothing but grandchildren, grandchildren!
"Ruoxi, after your dad and I leave, you must get along well with Xunhuan and stop throwing those temper tantrums," Xiahou Yutong said softly. "You’re married now; you’re a wife. You need to learn to restrain your temper. Otherwise, with the way you are, what will you do if you go to your in-law’s house..."
The intended farewell almost turned into a critique of Qiu Ruoxi, filling her heart with unprecedented helpless!
Finally, the time for Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan’s plane to board arrived, and both of them stopped their farewell with unease!
"Go back, go back!" Xiahou Yutong waved to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi. "Xunhuan, take good care of Ruoxi!"
"Mom, don’t worry, I will!"
As Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi looked on, Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan slowly disappeared from their sight!
"Feeling a bit reluctant now?" Ye Xunhuan instantly noticed that Qiu Ruoxi’s mood had dipped.
Qiu Ruoxi let out a sigh and said, "When they were here, I kept wanting them to leave, but now that they really have gone, I find my heart feeling so empty, wishing they had stayed."
Ye Xunhuan chuckled. "That’s humans for you, we’re creatures that sometimes don’t know our own best interest!"
"Let’s go, too."
Ye Xunhuan nodded, then he and Qiu Ruoxi left the airport and headed towards Huangtu Group.
Although Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong had left, their lives had to go on; they couldn’t just stop everything because of the departure of the two.
Just arriving at the company, the receptionist told Qiu Ruoxi that Xu Mingzhe had come and was waiting for her in the reception area! 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
This caused Qiu Ruoxi to be slightly taken aback. What was Xu Mingzhe doing here at this time?
Without delay, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but cast a sideways glance at Ye Xunhuan, thinking that Xu Mingzhe’s visit was certainly due to this guy’s doing.
Of course, Ye Xunhuan understood what Qiu Ruoxi was implying, which left him feeling rather depressed.
He had no idea that Xu Mingzhe would come.
But what was he here for?
Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with curiosity, so he hurriedly followed Qiu Ruoxi to the reception room.
Upon arriving at the reception room, they saw Xu Mingzhe sitting like a modest gentleman to one side, waiting with a warm expression on his face.
When Xu Mingzhe saw Qiu Ruoxi enter, he immediately stood up, his face breaking into a smile that felt like a breath of spring, "Miss Qiu, forgive my presumptuous visit. I hope I didn’t disturb you?"
"It’s quite the opposite, Mr. Xu’s presence is much sought after," Qiu Ruoxi replied with some insincerity, "May I ask what brings Mr. Xu here today?"
"After learning about the situation of the children in the welfare institution last time, I was thinking about their schooling and took the liberty of engaging some teachers to educate them..."
Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes lit up upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s words, "Mr. Xu is truly thoughtful!"
"Compared to Miss Qiu, what I’ve done is nothing," Xu Mingzhe said with great humility, "May I ask if Miss Qiu would like to assess these teachers?"
"The people Mr. Xu finds are sure to be fine," Qiu Ruoxi said with moderate intensity, "After all, Mr. Xu comes from an official’s family. If he were to carelessly gather a group of people just to make up the numbers, I’m afraid even Secretary Xu would not approve!"
Xu Mingzhe’s expression stiffened for a moment, naturally catching the other implications in Qiu Ruoxi’s words, "Of course, how could I possibly recruit ignorant people? Would that not spoil the flowers of our motherland?"
"Mr. Xu, if you have nothing else, I’m afraid I will have to..."
"No, no, it’s fine. I know Miss Qiu is busy. Go ahead with your matters, and I’ll have a chat with Brother Ye!" Xu Mingzhe said cheerfully.
Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan, then at Xu Mingzhe, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
Xu Mingzhe, you’re bringing this upon yourself; you can’t blame me!
Previously, Qiu Ruoxi had been worried that Xu Mingzhe might harm Ye Xunhuan, but after witnessing Ye Xunhuan’s capabilities, that worry completely disappeared.
This guy is a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai!
"Ye Xunhuan, please show Mr. Xu some courtesy!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi turned and left the room.
After Qiu Ruoxi left, Ye Xunhuan let out a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "Big brother Xu, I really don’t know what you see in this woman. She’s practically an ice sculpture every day..."
"Brother Ye, you just don’t get it," Xu Mingzhe said with a light laugh, "It’s her personality, her aura!"
"Indeed, she has quite the personality."
"Brother Ye, do you have time tonight? I’ve organized an event and I’d like you to join," Xu Mingzhe said softly.
"What event?"
"A gathering I’m hosting, all friends!" Xu Mingzhe beamed, "I wonder if Brother Ye is free!"
Upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s words, Ye Xunhuan fell silent.
He had already declined an invitation from Xu Mingzhe once before, and if he were to do so again, it might be awkward.
"As it happens, I am free tonight!" Ye Xunhuan agreed readily, "May I know where Big Brother Xu is holding the gathering?"
"Fengwu Villa!" Xu Mingzhe gave the location directly, "It starts at nine tonight, and Brother Ye, you must come!"
"Rest assured, Big Brother Xu, I will definitely be there!"
