"You're back?"
Upon entering, Liu Xiaoyun, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly stood up awkwardly.
Her eyes held a hint of worry as she looked Ye Yun up and down. Seeing that Ye Yun was alright, she seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief.
What are you doing here?
Qin Zheng, with an indifferent expression, led Ye Yun into the office.
He still didn't have much affection for Liu Xiaoyun, even though Liu Xiaoyun had done him a favor at noon today.
But isn't she also profiting from it?
Any good intentions that are tainted by ulterior motives cannot be considered acts of kindness.
Qin Zheng casually placed the items he had bought on the table. They were pure cotton fabrics he had bought for Xiao Chuqi, which he planned to take back so that Qin Xiang'e could make two soft little outfits for Xiao Chuqi.
The soft pink fabric is a color that is still quite rare on the market.
The moment Qin Zheng saw this piece of fabric, he immediately imagined it on his fair and delicate little daughter.
Wow, it must be so beautiful.
When Qin Zheng placed the pink fabric on the table, Liu Xiaoyun's gaze also fell upon the fabric, and she was momentarily lost in thought for a few seconds.
But only for a moment, she looked away and turned to Ye Yun: "I heard Ye Xue attacked you. Are you injured?"
"No."
Ye Yun spoke the truth.
She had previously heard Qin Zheng mention Liu Xiaoyun's visit to the company to deliver a message, and she held no prejudice against Liu Xiaoyun in this matter.
One thing at a time.
Of course, she also knew that Liu Xiaoyun had ulterior motives in sending the message.
But this behavior at least proves that Liu Xiaoyun is more inclined to befriend her, rather than being so extreme as to kill her in a fit of rage when there is a conflict.
For example, Ye Xue.
Qin Zheng's assistant came to ask him if he wanted to stay at the company for dinner that evening, and Qin Zheng asked Ye Yun for her opinion.
Ye Yun: "Then let's eat here."
Qin Zheng said, "If we eat here, we'll get home very late tonight."
"It's okay, just call home and tell them not to wait for us."
"Okay."
Qin Zheng received the order and turned to instruct his assistant to bring the food to his office.
The two chatted back and forth smoothly and intimately, making Liu Xiaoyun, who was standing next to them, feel a little awkward.
She originally intended to take advantage of the kindness shown to her.
After all, she had informed Qin Zheng. Whether it was useful or not, she had done this, and Qin Zheng and Ye Yun should owe her some favor.
So she wondered if she could use this opportunity to talk to Ye Yun.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Now that the incident has just passed, it is the time when Qin Zheng and Ye Yun have the deepest impression of her.
As time goes by, Qin Zheng and Ye Yun will probably forget about this incident.
However, Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's back-and-forth banter made it seem as if she didn't exist, making it difficult for her to bring up the matter of her student status.
Qin Zheng pulled out a chair for Ye Yun and asked her to sit down.
He looked up, seemingly only then noticing that Liu Xiaoyun was still there, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly: "Ms. Liu, is there anything else?"
Liu Xiaoyun: "..."
Ye Yun, who had just sat down in the boss's chair, also looked up, her gaze filled with confusion as she looked at Liu Xiaoyun.
Liu Xiaoyun couldn't stay still any longer.
"Never mind, it's good to see you're alright. I'll head back now." She gave an awkward twitch of her lips, picked up the simple cloth bag beside her, and walked away.
Ye Yun watched her retreating figure.
Only after Liu Xiaoyun's figure disappeared through the door did she turn her gaze away and exchange a glance with Qin Zheng.
"She's quite awkward."
Qin Zheng smiled but said nothing, raising his hand to gently pat her little head in a comforting manner.
Liu Xiaoyun, standing outside the door, grew increasingly angry.
She clearly came to take advantage of our kindness, so she should have had the upper hand. Why did it seem like she was running away in defeat?
These two are really something, not polite at all, they didn't even offer her a dinner invitation.
Bang.
Liu Xiaoyun stomped her foot heavily on the ground in anger, picked up her cloth bag, and stormed off from the construction company.
She had just stepped out the door when...
*Swoosh*—A black sedan pulled up in front of her, the door opened, and a pink figure jumped out, fluttering excitedly towards her like a butterfly—
"elder sister!"
Dressed up in her finest attire, Liu Xiaoyue suddenly threw herself into Liu Xiaoyun's arms, grinning foolishly as she shoved the candied hawthorns in her hand into Liu Xiaoyun's mouth.
The sticky candied hawthorn stalks smeared all over Liu Xiaoyun's face, causing her to frown in disgust.
"Get out of my way."
She pushed Liu Xiaoyue away and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the sugar residue off her face with a look of disgust.
Yueyue was a little sad after being scolded by her older sister, but she still handed the candied hawthorn in front of Liu Xiaoyun and continued to plead, "Sister, have one, have one, it's so delicious!"
Liu Chengzhi also got out of the car.
Seeing Liu Xiaoyun push Liu Xiaoyue away with a disgusted expression, his middle-aged face darkened with displeasure. "Xiaoyun, your sister wanted to give you her favorite food. How could you treat her like this?"
"I don't like what she likes."
Liu Xiaoyun showed no respect for her father, her face grim, and strode towards the school.
"Hey? Where are you going, sis?"
Seeing her sister leave, Yueyue, disregarding her grievances, happily followed after her.
Her father told her that he and her mother wouldn't be with her for long, and that her sister was the closest person to her, and that she wanted to stay with her sister forever.
However, Liu Xiaoyun was extremely annoyed by this younger sister.
She turned her head, her face full of resistance, and snapped, "Don't follow me!"
"Xiaoyun!"
Seeing her poor attitude, Liu Chengzhi reprimanded her without saying a word: "What kind of attitude is this? Your sister knows you were elected vice principal and is happy for you. She was thinking of throwing you a celebration banquet first thing this morning and specially asked me to pick you up and take you home. How can you have this kind of attitude?"
