Chapter 589 A Turning Point in Fate

As Xia Youxin went downstairs, she naturally noticed Qi Xuan standing in the crowd.

Her mood inexplicably became somewhat agitated.

She really wanted to run over and greet him right away, but she felt that it would be too deliberate, since there were so many guests today, and she couldn't just focus on him alone.

Xia Youxin was probably too dazzling that day, so many boys of similar age took the initiative to go over and chat with her.

As a result, she didn't have much of a chance to talk to Qi Xuan, and Qi Xuan felt that, given his status, there seemed to be a generation gap between him and people of their age.

Perhaps it was because the men around her were so unenthusiastic that she couldn't handle it.

Xia Youxin then went outside for some fresh air by herself.

She wasn't someone who enjoyed socializing; she always felt that everyone came here for their own reasons, and who was truly sincere to whom?

Tang Wan'er didn't really like this kind of place either, so she left after handing the gift to her grandmother.

Xia Youxin sighed, wishing the banquet would end soon.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

sound.

Why are you here all alone?

Xia Youxin trembled with fright and cautiously turned her head to look at the man standing not far from her.

My heart, which had calmed down, started racing again with unease.

She tried to remain calm, saying, "I don't like it being too noisy inside, so I wanted to come out and be alone for a while."

"Did I disturb your peace and quiet?"

Xia Youxin immediately waved her hand and hurriedly explained, "Of course not..."

Xia Youxin's reaction amused Qi Xuan; she was still so easily teased. "Don't be so nervous, I was just joking. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. How have you been?"

Xia Youxin nodded. "I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm fine too."

They talked a lot that night, just sitting in the courtyard, and it seemed like their conversations were more interesting than ever before.

Qi Xuan told her a lot about things that happened abroad.

Xia Youxin told him a lot about what happened on the university campus.

Qi Xuan stared intently at Xia Youxin's profile.

It has to be said that she has completely transformed now and is no longer the little girl he wouldn't take a serious look at.

Some things seem to be slowly taking root and sprouting in his heart, but he himself is unaware of it.

Qi Xuan returned to China afterward. Although he was back, he was much busier with work than before and had almost no time to see Xia Youxin.

It seems the two of them have lost contact again. The memory of chatting in the courtyard that day feels like a beautiful dream.

One year later, something happened in the Xia family that directly changed Xia Youxin's fate and her relationship with Qi Xuan.

Xia Youxin's father misappropriated public funds and suffered investment failures, leading to the Xia Group facing bankruptcy.

Overnight, the entire family was burdened with billions of dollars in debt.

Even if the company is sold, it won't be able to pay off so much debt.

He had embezzled almost all of the company's funds, and squandered all of his family's savings.

Xia Youxin's mother cried and made a scene at home all day long, turning the whole house into a complete mess.

They tried every possible method, but none of them could help the company overcome this difficulty.
