Hua Wenying asked, "Does Xixi know?"

“I haven’t told her yet.” Xie Yunzhou paused for a moment, then said, “I don’t know what you two are worried about, but I don’t want to keep this from Xixi.”

It's something everyone knows.

Only Shi Xi didn't know.

Xie Yunzhou did not think this was a way to protect Shi Xi.

It would only make Shi Xi feel uneasy.

If the truth is revealed, Shi Xi will find that everyone has been deceiving her...

Xie Yunzhou said firmly, "I hope the two of you can reach a peaceful conclusion. Xixi has the right to know."

"The result of peace? Isn't it peaceful now?" Hua Wenying said calmly, "As long as he doesn't bother me, the future will be peaceful."

Xie Yunzhou didn't know how to respond.

According to seniority, both of them were his elders, and he couldn't interfere in their affairs.

Logically speaking, he had no idea which side to stand on.

Weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Weren't you here to be his advocate? Why aren't you saying anything?" Hua Wenying glanced at him.

Xie Yunzhou snapped out of his daze and said seriously, "I don't know anything about what happened between you and Mr. Tao."

All I know is his side of the story; he didn't leave to act as a lobbyist.

As for delivering the letter yesterday, it was merely a matter of fulfilling a request and doing what was asked of me.

Hua Wenying's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You're quite the smooth talker."

Xie Yunzhou had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

How can he be so eloquent?

No, not at all!

"I think you can talk things out face-to-face if you have any problems," Xie Yunzhou suggested, despite the pressure. "Back then, transportation and communication weren't as developed. Now that you've finally met, what can't you say? Even if you're unhappy, you can give him a piece of your mind. It's better than keeping it bottled up inside, right?"

Hua Wenying clenched her fists, then slowly loosened them. "You're right. I've waited for him for so long, I should give him a good scolding."

Xie Yunzhou: ...That's not what he meant.

Never mind, that's what he meant.

"Should I contact Mr. Tao and arrange a meeting between you two?" Xie Yunzhou asked tentatively.

“No need.” Hua Wenying’s eyes were firm. “I’ll find him myself.”

Xie Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Hopefully, Tao Boli won't hold this scolding against him.

"I'm going to find him. You can wander around by yourself." Hua Wenying got up and left Xie Yunzhou behind.

Seeing Hua Wenying's aggressive look as she went to settle scores, Xie Yunzhou wondered if he should give Tao Boli a heads-up.

Xie Yunzhou thought for two seconds and then decisively rejected his idea.

Let's give Tao Boli a surprise.

I don't know whether to be surprised or happy.

Let's just consider it a surprise for now.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Yunzhou heard a noise nearby.

He turned his head and saw that it was Grandpa Hua who had wandered over there.

"Hello, Grandpa Hua." Xie Yunzhou greeted him with his eyes lowered.

"It's the Xie family's young man," Grandpa Hua said kindly. "I heard about what happened recently. He's very capable, with the same imposing presence as your grandfather back in the day."

Xie Yunzhou humbly replied, "I had someone help me."

"Even if someone helps, you still have to stand up for yourself." Grandpa Hua asked casually, "Why are you all alone? Where's Xixi?"

"She went to the film set."

"Xixi is never home, you're so tolerant of her," Grandpa Hua said with emotion. "You're busy every day too, I don't know how you two manage to get along."

Xie Yunzhou thought for a moment, "I'll go find whoever isn't busy."

He's usually the one who goes to find Shi Xi.

But Shi Xi sent him more messages.

Unfortunately, Shi Xi wasn't always busy on set, but she had to stay there most of the time.
