Chapter 571: Chapter 0571: Saved Quite a Bit of Trouble
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s piercing gaze, Qu Qiangwei felt as if she had no secrets to hide in front of him, as though all the secrets in her heart were being scrutinized by him, filling her mind with turmoil!
"Who... who got excited!" Qu Qiangwei said with insufficient confidence, "I’m just outraged on your behalf, he’s after your wife, and you still treat him like family!"
"Don’t you know that those who hurt you the most in this world are often the ones closest to you?"
"Is that so?" Ye Xunhuan asked with narrowed eyes, his tone somewhat playful, "But what business is it of yours?"
"You..."
"Miss Qu, although I don’t know why you want me to break with my older cousin, nor do I understand what you’re trying to do, I ask that you refrain from making such remarks in my presence in the future. Otherwise, if I accidentally let slip and tell my older cousin, hurting the bond you childhood friends have, don’t blame me for not warning you!"
"A dog bites Lu Dongbin, not recognizing the good intent!" Qu Qiangwei huffed coldly, "Consider it as if I said nothing, just look out for yourself!"
As soon as her words fell, Qu Qiangwei turned and left Ye Xunhuan’s presence, her anger apparent.
After Qu Qiangwei left, Ye Xunhuan fell into contemplation.
What exactly did Qu Qiangwei want to do?
Was it because she had a grudge against Luo Weilian and wanted to use me as a weapon against him, or was it Luo Weilian who sent her to test me?
Although he couldn’t be certain of Qu Qiangwei’s motives, Ye Xunhuan was sure that things were far more complicated than they seemed on the surface.
But he didn’t dwell on it.
He didn’t believe that Luo Weilian could harm him, plus Qiu Ruoxi was very cautious around him. Moreover, with Qianhuan Lanqin and Qianhuan Liuyun protecting Qiu Ruoxi, Luo Weilian wouldn’t dare harm her.
The only question was whether Qianhuan Lanqin and Liuyun had started working at Huaxia Corporation.
Qu Qiangwei stormed out from Ye Xunhuan’s place and headed directly to Qiu Ruoxi’s office.
By the time she arrived at Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Qu Qiangwei had put on a different face, with a faint smile spreading across hers.
Seeing Qu Qiangwei walk in from outside, Luo Weilian immediately stood up, "Ruoxi, I’ll leave you to your work then. I’ve already arranged everything in Italy. Just let me know before you go!"
"Thanks, cousin!"
"What’s there to thank, we’re family. If I don’t help you, who will?" Luo Weilian said softly, "Alright, I know you’re busy, so I won’t disturb you further!"
"Qiangwei and I will take our leave first!" 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
With that, Luo Weilian left Qiu Ruoxi’s office with Qu Qiangwei, who had just come in.
After the two left Huaxia Corporation, Luo Weilian looked at Qu Qiangwei and said, "What’s the matter, got put in your place by my brother-in-law?"
"Mind your own business!" Qu Qiangwei said, somewhat discontented.
"Seems like you really did get put in your place!" Luo Weilian said with a chuckle, "My cousin-in-law is quite impressive!"
Qu Qiangwei snorted coldly, without saying much more, and sashayed her slim waist towards the car.
Seeing this, Luo Weilian didn’t linger and quickly followed.
After getting into the car, Luo Weilian looked at Qu Qiangwei and said softly, "Alright, stop sulking. How did things go?"
"Luo Weilian, do you realize how despicable you really are..."
William Luo wasn’t the least bit angered, "I have never denied that I am not despicable, and besides, have you ever seen any scoundrel who wasn’t despicable!"
"Only you, William Luo, could describe being despicable so frankly and make it seem so upright and serious!"
"That’s not necessarily true, maybe others can do it too!" William Luo spoke softly, "Did you get anything out of him?"
"Couldn’t figure out anything; his lips are sealed tight!" Qu Qiang Wei turned her head to look at William Luo, "William Luo, I can tell you for sure, this man is not to be trifled with!"
"You’ve checked him out yourself, so you should know!"
"I’ve never said I wanted to provoke him, after all, he’s my brother-in-law. Why would I provoke him for no reason? We will only treat each other with mutual respect!"
"Do you find it amusing to be so hypocritical in front of me?"
This time, William Luo didn’t respond to Qu Qiang Wei and instead drove away from there directly.
......
A day later, Ye Xunhuan finally embarked on his first business trip in his life!
Early in the morning during breakfast, Qiu Ruoxi spoke a few rare words, but they were nothing more than instructions about being careful in Italy—all that talk about her so-called aunt. Of course, there were also the usual reminders about work, to not get tricked by foreigners.
Thanks to the plane tickets Qiu Ruoxi had booked beforehand, their flight was at two-thirty in the afternoon. When they would arrive in Milan, Italy, it would be around six in the evening local time, by which Han Lin would have arranged for someone to meet them!
Ye Xunhuan was quite satisfied with the flight Qiu Ruoxi had booked; the woman definitely had the timing pegged. After all, there’s a time difference between Huaxia and Italy—they’re seven hours ahead!
Because of the business trip, Ye Xunhuan was entirely free from work that day and would head straight to the airport in the afternoon.
Upon arriving at the airport lobby, Ye Xunhuan easily found Mei Hanqing!
She was dressed in a white lace blouse with a black high-waisted pencil skirt underneath, her fair and slender legs complemented by a pair of high-heeled peep-toe sandals, her black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and she was also wearing a pair of avant-garde sunglasses!
Even with the forward-thinking sunglasses covering half of her pretty face, her presence next to the rest area caught the gazes of numerous men.
Some women’s elegance alone is enough to reveal their beauty; this was why Ye Xunhuan had no trouble locating Mei Hanqing!
"Have you been waiting long?" Ye Xunhuan immediately asked upon approaching Mei Hanqing.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan walking toward her, Mei Hanqing took off her sunglasses, revealing a smile as resplendent as summer flowers, "Not at all, I’ve just arrived not long ago myself!"
Ye Xunhuan sat down next to Mei Hanqing, and the two of them chatted and laughed together, like a young couple.
About forty minutes later, after hearing the announcement, Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing began to proceed through security check into the waiting room.
Once inside the waiting room, Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing waited for about another twenty minutes before they began to board the plane.
Since Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing were on a business trip, Qiu Ruoxi naturally didn’t skimp and bought them economy class tickets, allowing the two to arrive in the business class section without any need to queue up.
Just as Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing were boarding the plane, William Luo, who was enjoying afternoon tea at the Hilton Hotel in Jiangzhong City, revealed a faint smile on his face!
"Uncle Qingfeng, are my parents all set up on their end?"
"Master and Madam are completely ready; just waiting for him to walk into the trap!"
"I was thinking of taking care of him here, but I didn’t expect Qiu Ruoxi to send him abroad to his doom." William Luo chuckled and shook his head, "It really saves me a lot of trouble!"
"I really need to thank my cousin for this!"
