Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Mother and Daughter Meet, Unrecognized
Yuan Ming’s arrival was unbeknownst to Ye Xunhuan, who at this moment had found Mei Hanqing and was planning to take her to dine with Jian Yunong!
After all, the lady Long Ancestor Bodhi left without a word, and even turned off her phone, so even if Ye Xunhuan wanted to see her off, he was completely helpless!
No one knew why she left in such a rush, what could have possibly happened.
Although Ye Xunhuan couldn’t figure out what had made Long Ancestor Bodhi leave Jiangzhong City, he didn’t think too much about it. That woman was so clever, and her abilities were not weak, she was definitely not going to encounter any trouble, not to mention her master Jia Lan was not someone to be trifled with!
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at Mei Hanqing’s office, he found her still hunched over her desk, working, and not yet off work!
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan entering through the door, Mei Hanqing was slightly startled, then a smile slowly formed on her exquisite and charming face, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, to see my little Qingqing!" Ye Xunhuan, with his habitually slick mouth, said, "Little Qingqing, not finished with your work yet?"
"There’s quite a bit to do, I might need to work overtime!" Mei Hanqing sighed faintly, her voice laced with helplessness.
"What overtime? Work is never-ending. Come on, today your brother will take you out for some good food!" Ye Xunhuan said, getting straight to the point.
"But I still have a lot of work!" Mei Hanqing shook her head!
"Even if you’re busy, it can wait. Look, you were working overtime yesterday, and you’re planning to again today. Your body won’t be able to take it!" Ye Xunhuan said with a face full of concern: "After all, having a strong and healthy body is your capital for revolution!"
Hearing these caring words from Ye Xunhuan, Mei Hanqing felt sweet as if she had eaten honey! 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"I don’t always work overtime. It’s only occasional, but these past few days I’ve had too much to do, and it’s all piled up. It needs to be dealt with quickly..."
"We’ll talk about that tomorrow. Today, I’m taking you to eat first, to have a good replenishment!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan didn’t give Mei Hanqing any chance to refuse; he pulled her up from her office desk and began dragging her towards the exit.
"Wait a minute, can I at least grab my purse and phone?" Mei Hanqing said, somewhat helplessly.
"I’ll get them for you!"
Before the words had even finished, Ye Xunhuan whooshed to the desk in an instant, picked up the phone and Mei Hanqing’s purse, and once again started pulling her towards the exit.
His actions seemed as if he was deathly afraid that Mei Hanqing would decide to work overtime again.
This made Mei Hanqing somewhat laugh and cry; this guy...
But at the same time, there was a sweet feeling in her heart.
Because Ye Xunhuan cared about her, he was really concerned about her!
After pulling Mei Hanqing from the office, Ye Xunhuan finally could relax.
The two of them took the elevator to the parking garage downstairs, whereupon Ye Xunhuan drove Mei Hanqing away from the Huangtu Group.
"Little Qingqing, today is not just the two of us dining together, I’m going to introduce you to a big shot!" Ye Xunhuan gave Mei Hanqing a heads-up in advance, otherwise when she meets Jian Yunong later on, Mei Hanqing would probably not be prepared at all!
Mei Hanqing was taken aback, looking at Ye Xunhuan with a puzzled face, "A big shot?"
"Yes, a big shot!"
"Who is it?"
"Once you meet them, you’ll know," Ye Xunhuan deliberately teased with a bit of mystery.
He simply needed to alert Mei Hanqing that there would be an additional guest arriving later; as for who it was, Ye Xunhuan felt it was better for Jian Yunong to introduce herself.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s enigmatic demeanor, the curiosity within Mei Hanqing intensified to the extreme.
But no matter how she asked, Ye Xunhuan kept the secret from her.
This undoubtedly made Mei Hanqing even more curious. Who on earth was Ye Xunhuan taking her to meet?
Could it be his family members?
At this thought, Mei Hanqing’s heart felt as if a young deer was rampaging inside, leading her to become extremely nervous.
Château Shangri-La Restaurant, the most upscale Italian restaurant in Jiangzhong City, frequented by prominent figures from both political and business circles!
Tonight, Château Shangri-La Restaurant was closed for business, because the entire establishment had been exclusively booked by Jian Yunong, the property queen of Suzhou and Hangzhou!
The entire hall was dimly lit, and apart from the servers and the pianist, it was empty!
At the entrance of the restaurant, more than ten bodyguards dressed in black suits stood in formation, with stern faces and arrayed in a V-shape, exuding a formidable aura that commanded respect!
And among these bodyguards stood a woman.
It was challenging to deduce her age from her appearance, but the mature allure exuding from her attested that she was no longer a girl, but a young woman who had been seasoned by time!
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a delicate and fair complexion that seemed sculpted by God himself. Whether her features were considered separately or as a whole, they were all striking, especially those spirited eyes that seemed as if they could speak.
However, the woman’s face now was filled with nervousness and unease, so much so that her hands were clutched together tightly.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Ye Xunhuan arrived at the entrance of Château Shangri-La Restaurant with Mei Hanqing by car.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan pulled to a stop, the bodyguards at the entrance swiftly approached, skilfully opening the car door to let Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing out, and then they drove the car away.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan arriving with Mei Hanqing, Jian Yunong immediately walked over with a broad smile on her face, which bore a trace of an excitement that she could hardly conceal.
"Miss Jian, I haven’t arrived late, have I?" Ye Xunhuan greeted Jian Yunong with a light smile.
"No... not at all!" Jian Yunong’s voice trembled slightly. Though she spoke to Ye Xunhuan, her eyes kept darting over to Mei Hanqing.
This was her daughter. For more than twenty years, she had never provided a single meal or drink - and now they were finally meeting face-to-face, close enough to touch.
Even though Jian Yunong was a formidable name in Suzhou and Hangzhou’s real estate, the sight of her daughter, whom she had not seen for over twenty years, made it impossible to contain her surging emotions.
Seeing Jian Yunong’s reaction, Ye Xunhuan sighed inwardly and introduced, "Miss Jian, this is my girlfriend, Han Qing..."
"Miss Mei, hel... hello..." Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s introduction, Jian Yunong hurriedly extended her hand, eager to shake hands with Mei Hanqing.
Mei Hanqing was taken aback when she saw Jian Yunong.
She knew of Jian Yunong, the property queen of Suzhou and Hangzhou, who had been featured in countless interviews.
Mei Hanqing could never have imagined that the person Ye Xunhuan was taking her to meet would be Jian Yunong, and what’s more, the usually aloof Jian Yunong was actually taking the initiative to shake her hand!
At this moment, Mei Hanqing felt as if she was in a dreamlike fantasy!
