Chapter 209 He's really back

The call was from Qu Xiao. It had been a long time since they had been in contact. Back when they were at the Xu Group, they rarely interacted outside of work. The only time they did interact was when she mentioned that Xu Qingmin had depression.

"Qu Xiao, what's wrong?"

“Song Yilin, I wouldn’t bother you if this matter wasn’t complicated. I know you have your life and your family now, but I can’t help it.”

Song Yilin had a premonition that what Qu Xiao was talking about was related to Xu Qingmin.

"What's wrong? Just tell me what happened."

"Here's the thing, Mr. Xu's current psychologist isn't my husband. My husband went abroad for a while and just came back recently. I don't think Mr. Xu's mental state is very good. I asked him about it before, but he said the psychologist said it was only mild and not that serious, and he didn't need to take medication. I showed my husband the video of Xu Qingmin's most recent appearance at the Xu Group, and my husband said it couldn't be just mild. The diagnosis of depression requires a professional evaluation, but my husband could tell at a glance that it was already very serious, and he might already be experiencing menstrual cramps."

Song Yilin's heart jumped to her throat: "How could this happen? Doesn't Xu Qingmin have a psychologist now?"

"The psychologist that President Xu is currently seeing was found by Xu Qingya. Today, Xu Qingya appeared at the Xu Group. Judging from her demeanor, she seems to want to take control of the Xu Group. So I feel that things are not simple. The Xu family mansion is also under Xu Qingya's control now. We can't get in. You used to live in the Xu family mansion. Can you find a way to get in?"

"I understand, I'll go back right away."

I knew before that Xu Qingya wasn't a good person.

I've been on guard all along. Recently, because of having dinner with Chen Yan, I haven't been in much contact with Xu Qingmin. He didn't come to Binzhou this month, and I thought she was busy with work. I didn't expect it to be for this reason.

Song Yilin returned after finishing dealing with the affairs of Lijiang Group.

I originally wanted to talk to Xu Ming about going back, but Xu Qingya is Xu Ming's daughter.

Although she and Xu Ming have gotten along much better during this time, Xu Ming might not help her if she told her about Xu Qingya.

That's someone else's daughter. She's officially moved back to Jianghai City now. If Xu Qingya finds out she's moved back, she'll definitely take action against her.

After some thought.

"Mr. Xu, please don't mention that Chen Yan and I have divorced yet. This is a contract I signed with Lijiang Group, and we can't announce the divorce for the time being, as it would be bad for Lijiang Group's development."

Xu Ming also knew that many companies, for the sake of the company's interests, allowed many divorced couples to still live together.

"I understand. So, will I stay at the Xu family mansion when I go back?"

"No need for now. If the media finds out, it will be a huge blow to Lijiang Group. Lijiang Group has finally achieved profitability, and we can't afford any more problems."

"Okay, do you have a place to stay? I have several properties."

“After the baby was born, my mother and mother-in-law haven’t seen him. I want to go back to Fengxiang Community to stay for a while so that these two elderly people can spend more time with the baby.”

Xu Ming looked very reluctant, after all, she had been with her since birth and was suddenly leaving.

"Mr. Xu, I will bring the children to visit you at the Xu family's old residence."

"Okay."

She originally intended to use Bai Guanqun as a pretext to check on Xu Qingmin's situation.

But it's obvious that Xu Ming has it easier. She doesn't even know if Xu Qingya controlled Bai Guanqun while controlling Xu Qingmin.

The aunt and postpartum nanny who were originally taking care of her were locals from Binzhou and did not want to go back to Jianghai City with her. Fortunately, she also hired two more for her mother and mother-in-law, so her mother and mother-in-law could help her take care of the baby when she went home.

The child is with his mother, and she will take good care of him. What I'm more worried about now is Xu Qingmin; he absolutely cannot get into trouble.

Before setting off, I sent a message to Chen Yan.

"President Chen, I don't know if the development of Lijiang Group has met your expectations during this period. If not, please forgive me. I will leave Binzhou City today. The world is vast, and we will meet again in the future."

The message had barely been sent when Chen Yan called: "What time is your flight? I'll come with the kids to see you off."

"I'm already at the airport. It's so late. Don't bother the child. Take good care of the child."

After hanging up the phone, she saw Xu Ming looking at her with envy.

"What's wrong, Mr. Xu?"

“Yilin, sometimes I really admire your abilities. You manage to maintain a good relationship with your deceased father’s family, and you’re still in a good relationship with them. You also have a good relationship with your ex-husband, and you’re even managing your relationship with your ex-fiancé very well.”

Now that Xu Ming said that, it seems to be true. She has always been one to overlook small things, but when it comes to big things, she goes straight to the end without any room for compromise.

When they parted at the airport, Xu Ming took one last, reluctant look at the child.

"President Xu, please don't tell Xu Qingmin about me, and please don't tell Xu Qingya either, okay?"

Xu Ming asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"I want to say it myself."

Xu Ming doesn't understand, but she will respect it.

When they got home, the child was given to the mother.

When the two elderly people saw the child arrive, they stopped playing mahjong and started fussing over the child.

After the child went to sleep, I told my mother that I would take care of the child for her, and then drove to the Xu family's house.

She used to come and go as she pleased, but now they're checking who she is, and it seems like all the servants have been replaced.

When you arrive, just tell Xu Ming that you've come to see her.

Xu Ming came down to pick her up personally.

We chatted and laughed as we went to the main building, and then took a shortcut to Building No. 2.

There was no one in Bai Guanqun's room.

She checked her daughter's location and found it was at school.

What's going on?

As soon as they entered Xu Qingmin's room, they heard a thumping sound.

It sounds like the sound of a wooden fish being struck. Why would someone with a mental illness make such a disturbing sound? Even a normal person would find it annoying, let alone someone with a mental illness.

The whole room was very dark.

Moreover, there was a person who looked like a psychologist at the door.

However, he was already asleep.

I knew it wasn't simple before I came. This was the drug used by the kidnappers who kidnapped Bai Guanqun before, and it's perfect for this psychologist.

Hearing the noise, Xu Qingmin assumed it was the psychologist. He didn't even look up.

She said calmly, "You don't need to say anything more, I will take the medicine."

"Qingmin is me."

There seemed to be a light in Xu Qingmin's eyes.

"Yilin, is it really you?"

"It's me, I'm back."

She quickly stepped forward and hugged him.

Xu Qingmin initially couldn't believe that Song Yilin had returned.

He used his hands to pry Song Yilin apart.

Looking closely at her face, he gently stroked it with his hand and asked uncertainly, "Yilin? You're really back?"

"Yes, I've come back to find you. Do you still want me?"

Song Yilin kissed Xu Qingmin's lips directly.

Xu Qingmin was momentarily stunned, then deepened the kiss.
