He Xiaobei was stunned. Her neighbor? The man named Zheng Xiao? This turned out to be his grandfather. His status was indeed extraordinary. And why did it feel like he was older than her by addressing her this way? That was really great.

The old man surnamed Zheng was also stunned after hearing this. Next door?

Such a good girl, such a good opportunity, and he just lost it like that? I must give Zheng Xiao a good beating when I get back.

"Ahem, is that so? Is she going with you then?"

"No, she's still in S City for now."

"Haha, is that so? Hey, Professor Qing, don't worry, we will help keep an eye on you here."

As they were talking, they all sat on the sofa and started chatting. More people started to come in from outside, and Qing Yuansi introduced them to her "niece" one by one.

But when a man in a white coat and sleek hair walked in, Qing Yuansi's expression became a little subtle, but he still introduced himself:

"This is my niece, He Xiaobei. Xiaobei, this is Professor Han from the base's epidemic prevention station."

Epidemic Prevention Station? Professor Han? This sounded familiar. After a quick greeting, she realized it was the guy from the radio show "Why Not Eat Meat Porridge?"

Professor Han kept asking Qing Yuansi whether he was really leaving and whether he would come back. Qing Yuansi became impatient with his questions and left in embarrassment.

After the others left, Qing Yuansi looked at the expression on her face and asked:

"Xiaobei, do you recognize him?"

"I don't know him, but before I came to the base, I often heard him on the radio giving some scientific knowledge."

"Hmph, I wonder what a rotten rat tastes like. I'm guessing the phoenix chicks haven't stopped yet."

Then, before He Xiaobei could speak, she looked at the two young men who walked in through the door in surprise, and her words were stuck in her throat for a moment.

A man about 182cm tall, with a gentle and elegant appearance and neatly combed hair, this person is her stepbrother Xu Huize.

What surprised her even more was the man next to him. He was about 188cm tall, with a calm expression. He hid his coldness and aggressiveness very well. This contrast made people feel that he had a strong sexual tension. He didn't need to do anything, just standing there gave people a sense of relaxation and attraction, which could make people full of reverie at a glance. This man was her domineering boss No. 1, Gu Hanyun.

He Xiaobei screamed inwardly:

What the hell is this Shura field on earth?

When the two men came in and saw He Xiaobei, they paused, and Xu Huize couldn't even hide the surprise on his face.

Qing Yuansi was originally smiling, but seeing the reactions of the two, he was also a little surprised:

"Xiaobei, do you know these two people?"

He Xiaobei nodded, feeling deeply:

Hey, not only do I know them, I am also very familiar with their mothers. One of them had her husband taken away by my mother, and the other was killed by me.

The two walked up to them, and it was Gu Hanyun who spoke first:

"Hello, Professor Qing. Who is this person next to you?"

"Haha, this is my niece He Xiaobei. Xiaobei, this is Gu Hanyun, and the one next to him is Xu Huize, but it seems like you two know each other."

"Yes, uncle. I know Xu Huize. He is...well, he is my mother's current husband's eldest son, or my half-brother."

He Xiaobei's words were stuck in his throat for a long time before he slowly figured out how to introduce this relationship.

Gu Hanyun glanced at Xu Huize beside him, then looked at He Xiaobei:

"Have we met there before?"

If someone else said this, it would definitely be suspected of being a pick-up artist, but when it came out of this man's mouth, it sounded as serious as it could be.

"I think I've seen it before. I've been to the trading market in S City before."

Gu Hanyun nodded as if in sudden realization. Xu Huize really stood there for a long time, trying to react.

"Little sister, why haven't I heard you mention it before? You are actually Professor Qing's niece."

He Xiaobei rolled his eyes inwardly. Xu Huize was so shameless that anyone who didn't know him would think he was Yu Cuicui's biological son. Their personalities really were similar.

When they met before, Xu Huize was not only rude to her, but he didn't even bother to call her by her full name, let alone "little sister". But when the old man was around, his expression became like he was singing an opera.

"We've only met a few times, and we're not that familiar with each other, so naturally I didn't introduce him to Big Brother."

He Xiaobei said this, especially putting emphasis on the word "big brother", and they were all a little embarrassed for a moment.

Professor Qing also understood and quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Well, I was very busy with work before, and I seldom contacted Xiaobei. The apocalypse came suddenly, and I only encountered it at the base a while ago."

Smart people won’t delve into someone’s past, they’ll just look at their attitude, not to mention that He Xiaobei and Qing Yuansi don’t even have the same last name.

After the two chatted for a few sentences, they heard the sound of a propeller coming closer and closer. The group of people in the living room fell silent in an instant and looked towards Qing Yuansi.

Qing Yuansi turned around and faced the crowd with a smile:

"Thank you all for coming to see me off, but there will always be a time for us to meet and part, and there will always be a time for us to meet again. Please go back, I also need to prepare to leave."

He Xiaobei followed Qing Yuansi to see the group off, and then helped him carry his luggage to the helipad in the backyard.

There were already armed soldiers waiting there. Seeing the two of them coming, they hurried over and took the luggage from her hands.

"Xiaobei, remember to call me if you're okay. I'll let you know if I have any news. Take care of yourself."

"Well, take care of yourself, old man."

As she watched the plane fly away, she thought to herself:

Old man, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise all my "investments" will be wasted. Please think of me when you have good things.

She stood there for a while before turning around and leaving. The driver was already waiting for her at the gate, and the nanny politely escorted her out.

As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Xu Huize and Gu Hanyun standing outside.

"What's up, you two?"

Xu Huize was a man who had experienced some ups and downs, but he still found it hard to accept that He Xiaobei, the daughter of a mistress, actually had such a powerful backer:

"How come you are Qing Yuansi's niece? Why haven't I found out about this before?"

"You actually investigated me? Haha, with Qing Yuansi's identity, I'm afraid you can't find out even with your status."

This guy actually checked on her. She was a little angry and spoke in a very bad and sarcastic tone.

Xu Huize's face flushed red for a moment. He had wanted to get closer to He Xiaobei, but the other party really didn't give him face, so there was no need for him to pretend:

"With such a strong backer, why don't you go to Baishan Base to fetch your mother? From what I know, they're not doing well right now, and you're enjoying yourself here all by yourself."
