Chapter 573: Chapter 0573: Investigating the Details
Although Ye Xunhuan had told Mei Hanqing that he was already married, Mei Hanqing had often wondered which family’s daughter or socialite Ye Xunhuan’s wife was!
But Mei Hanqing had never imagined that Qiu Ruoxi would be Ye Xunhuan’s wife!
Now, suddenly knowing that Qiu Ruoxi was Ye Xunhuan’s wife, Mei Hanqing’s not-so-strong heart suddenly felt somewhat overwhelmed!
Qiu Ruoxi was her boss and also the benefactor of the orphanage, and thus her benefactor as well.
But now she had encroached on her own benefactor and boss’s territory!
This gave Mei Han a sense of guilt and remorse.
If Ye Xunhuan’s wife had been someone else, she might not have felt this way, but it was specifically Qiu Ruoxi, her boss and the benefactor of the orphanage.
Was she biting the hand that fed her?
At this moment, Mei Hanqing’s heart felt like a jar of mixed spices had been overturned, her thoughts were in chaos, causing Mei Hanqing’s mind to go blank. Thus, when Xiahou Yuzhu greeted and spoke to Mei Hanqing, Mei Hanqing appeared absent-minded!
"Miss Mei’s complexion seems a bit off, is something the matter?" Luo Hanlin asked with concern filling his face.
Ye Xunhuan caught every change in Mei Hanqing’s expression, and he couldn’t help but wryly smile to himself. Of course, he knew why Mei Hanqing was so distracted!
"It’s nothing, maybe it’s because of sitting on the plane for too long and the jet lag, I haven’t quite adjusted yet, I’ll be fine after some rest!" Mei Hanqing said with a somewhat forced smile.
After hearing Mei Hanqing’s words, Luo Hanlin showed a look of apology on his face, "I’m sorry, seeing Xunhuan and Yuzhu got us a bit carried away, and we forgot about that!"
"It’s alright!" Mei Hanqing softly said, "Mr. Luo, you are being too polite!"
"Let’s eat quickly, after dinner you and Xunhuan go rest, and we can talk more tomorrow," Luo Hanlin said in a very approachable manner, "don’t have it that when you go back you tell Ruoxi that Yuzhu and I didn’t let you rest!"
Subsequently, under the warm hospitality of Luo Hanlin and Xiahou Yuzhu, Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing both sat down at the dining table.
Perhaps because Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing were not accustomed to Italian food, everything they ordered was Huaxia cuisine!
Therefore, the meal had a strong Huaxia flavor, and at the table, Ye Xunhuan, Luo Hanlin, and Xiahou Yuzhu were all smiles and laughter.
Just as Qiu Ruoxi had said, Ye Xunhuan was eloquent and sweet-talking, able to charm people effortlessly, occasionally saying something that made Luo Hanlin and Xiahou Yuzhu burst into laughter.
The two of them looked at Ye Xunhuan with increasingly gentle eyes, appearing very much like a mother-in-law more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.
However, Mei Hanqing, upon knowing that Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan were husband and wife, felt her heart instantly sink.
Even though the table was full of delicious dishes, she felt like she was chewing wax!
After the meal was over, Luo Hanlin immediately had Norman lead Mei Hanqing and Ye Xunhuan to the rooms that had been reserved for them to rest.
After Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing had left, Luo Hanlin picked up the cigarette from the table, lit it for himself, and took a gentle drag, "This Ye Xunhuan is very likable!"
"Yu Tong and Qiu Shuihan probably don’t like this kind of slick men, right?"
"People always change," Xiahou Yuzhu softly said. "But you are right; this Ye Xunhuan really knows how to talk!"
"I always feel that arranging for them to stay in a hotel was a bit inappropriate, after all, he is Ruoxi’s husband!" Luo Hanlin said thoughtfully, "It seems somewhat impersonal, I wonder if he will suspect anything!"
"Don’t worry about that, I can handle it!" Xiahou Yuzhu softly said, "Have Norman also open a room for me, I’m going to see Ye Xunhuan now!"
"You’re staying here too?" Luo Hanlin said, slightly surprised.
"This way he won’t suspect anything, will he?"
Upon hearing Xiahou Yuzhu’s words, Luo Hanlin seemed to think of something, "Tomorrow, let’s treat them to a good time!"
Xiahou Yuzhu did not say much and left the private room to find Ye Xunhuan.
Initially, Ye Xunhuan, under Norman’s guidance, had come to the room to look for Mei Hanqing to explain something, but as soon as he stepped out of the room, he ran into Xiahou Yuzhu!
"Auntie..."
"You’ve been on the plane for so long; why are you running around instead of resting properly in the room?" Xiahou Yuzhu gently chided.
Her demeanor was just like a mother reproaching her son, soft and gentle!
Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile, "I slept for most of the flight, so now I can’t sleep anymore. I thought of visiting aunt and uncle, but I suddenly remembered that aunt and uncle might not be here anymore!"
"How could aunt possibly leave!" Xiahou Yuzhu said softly, "I’m staying here tonight too. Tomorrow, I’ll take you and Miss Mei for a good round of fun to unwind!"
"This is also why aunt didn’t let you and Miss Mei go to our house!"
"Aunt has really thought of everything."
"Thought of everything? Don’t just assume aunt didn’t want you to come over." Xiahou Yuzhu sighed softly and said, "Speaking of which, aunt really wanted you to come over too, after all, that place is home and it’s better than staying at a hotel, but..."
"Never mind, let’s not talk about it!"
"Has something happened?"
Xiahou Yuzhu glanced at Ye Xunhuan with a hesitant look!
"Aunt, we are family. Surely there isn’t anything we can’t talk about?"
Xiahou Yuzhu sighed again, her face filled with bitterness, "Your uncle’s old business rivals have come back seeking revenge. Now and then, someone gets attacked!"
"This is why I had William return to the country at this time."
"Ah!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of surprise and excitement, "Aunt, then you and uncle aren’t hurt, right..."
"We’re fine!" Xiahou Yuzhu shook her head, "It’s just that open attacks are easy to dodge, but secret ones are hard to guard against, so I had you and Miss Mei stay in the hotel for now. Tomorrow, once your uncle has fortified our home, we’ll go back!"
"It’s just right since you’ve just arrived. Tomorrow, your aunt will take you around Milan properly!"
"Have you ever been to Milan before?"
Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile, scratching his head a bit embarrassedly, "I’ve never been here before, though I’ve always been fascinated by it!"
"Since that’s the case, tomorrow your aunt will show you around properly," Xiahou Yutong said softly!
"Aunt, shall we go inside the room and talk?"
Afterwards, Ye Xunhuan and Xiahou Yuzhu walked into the room.
Upon entering the room, Ye Xunhuan immediately invited Xiahou Yutong to sit down.
After sitting down, Xiahou Yuzhu looked at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "How are my sister and brother-in-law doing?"
"They are doing quite well!"
Xiahou Yuzhu and Ye Xunhuan chatted about some trivial matters.
Suddenly, as if something occurred to Xiahou Yuzhu, she asked, "Xunhuan, where are you from, and what do your parents do?"
