"Do you know how dangerous that was? Who gave you the guts to stand in the middle of the road and stand there in a daze?" Still shaken, Xu Yanshu's voice rose involuntarily.
God knows his heart nearly stopped when he saw it; if he had been even a step slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Her eyes suddenly reddened, and Qin Shengyi pouted aggrievedly, her gaze towards the man inevitably carrying a hint of resentment.
She didn't know how she ended up in the middle of the road. She was really scared and her limbs wouldn't obey her commands, otherwise she would definitely have been able to dodge.
Seeing this tearful scene, Xu Yanshu belatedly realized that he had overreacted, and his attitude naturally softened.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. I was just too anxious."
Qin Shengyi unconsciously sniffed, then said to herself, "I thought you would never talk to me again!"
There was a moment of subtle tension in the atmosphere, and Xu Yanshu's gaze gradually became complicated.
He had to admit that his handling of the situation yesterday was indeed somewhat hasty, but... he couldn't find a better solution than to act decisively and quickly.
"Shengyi, listen to me, I..."
Qin Shengyi interrupted in time, "I have something very important to tell you. If you have time, let's talk somewhere else!"
...
The two found a quiet bar nearby, and after sitting down, Qin Shengyi immediately revealed his identity.
"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you this, but... I've found that I can't seem to completely let go of what happened back then, so I've kept putting it off until now."
It really is her.
For a moment, Xu Yanshu felt a subtle unease, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded slightly and said, "Actually, I had pretty much guessed it."
Who could have imagined that the junior schoolgirl who used to always walk with her head down would transform into such a bright and generous person? He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Did you guess it?
Qin Shengyi looked at Xu Yanshu in surprise upon hearing this, and the latter explained to himself, "When you looked at my graduation photo last time."
So that's why...
Sheng Yi suddenly realized what was happening and felt a little embarrassed, thinking that it really was wrong to touch other people's things without permission.
"Actually, I should have asked for your name much earlier. But when I tried to check, the files for your graduating class had already been transferred!"
Since the conversation had just reached this point, Xu Yanshu seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him, "But didn't I leave my contact information with you back then?"
"Huh?" Qin Shengyi was slightly taken aback. "No, you must be mistaken."
Xu Yanshu nodded firmly, "I kept it. I happened to go back to school to pick up my admission notice that day, but you weren't in the classroom, so I asked your deskmate to pass it on."
My deskmate...
Recalling it, Qin Shengyi couldn't help but rub her forehead in exasperation. Her deskmate at the time was a notorious scatterbrain; she might forget what she had put down a second ago.
So Shengyi didn't see the note he left for her at all.
Xu Yanshu also realized the situation a beat later. He was both amused and exasperated, never expecting it to turn out this way.
"Brother Yanshu, did something happen to you yesterday?"
Meeting the girl's sincere gaze, Xu Yanshu felt a sudden warmth in his heart and couldn't bear to say anything cruel anymore.
Perhaps Sheng Yi only saw him as a friend, and it was Jiang Zhengyu who took it upon himself to play matchmaker, while he himself was deluding himself.
Xu Yanshu waved his hand awkwardly and then said, "I had a bit of a cold yesterday, and my mind wasn't quite clear, so my words might be incoherent."
I see.
Qin Shengyi nodded as if he understood. Although he felt that this was not the main reason, he did not ask any further questions.
After their conversation, Xu Yanshu drove Qin Shengyi back to AC Studio.
As he watched the person go inside, he was about to drive back to the company when he received a call from Huang Dongsheng.
"Yan Shu, I just acquired two bottles of fine red wine. If you have time, why don't you come over for lunch?"
Thinking that there was nothing to do back at the company, Xu Yanshu agreed and then turned the car around to drive to the Huang residence. Unexpectedly, he saw He Wen's figure nearby.
Beep beep beep—
Upon hearing the horn, He Wen subconsciously snapped out of his reverie. When he saw Xu Yanshu, a hint of unease flashed across his face before he got into the car at Xu's prompting.
Narrowing his eyes thoughtfully, Xu Yanshu asked directly, "Uncle He, why are you here?"
"I...yes, that's right, I was indeed planning to go find Huang Dongsheng," He Wen admitted directly, though his confidence was slightly lacking, seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer. "I know you may have your own difficulties and considerations."
“I’ll just hand the stuff to him. Even if he finds out we already know each other, as long as we stick to the same story, he won’t easily suspect you.”
What is there to fool about Huang Dongsheng?
Xu Yanshu's expression darkened almost imperceptibly, and he unconsciously pursed his thin lips.
The responsibility for this matter also lies with him. He should have explained the inside story to He Wen earlier. He had mentioned it to him long ago, but there has been no progress for so long, so it's no wonder that he couldn't hold back.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yanshu began to recount what he had seen and heard on the anniversary of Madam Huang's death, his eyes gradually becoming filled with deep apprehension.
"Huang Dongsheng's feelings for his first wife may be more complicated than we imagine. Over the years, he has been supporting the Xie family on the surface, but in fact, he is also a stakeholder. We should reconsider this matter."
It may have started as a friendly sponsorship, but as the investment increased, Huang Dongsheng may have been unable to resist getting involved and taking a share of the profits.
The fact that Huang Dongsheng could pretend to be a loving husband for decades for the sake of a good reputation shows that he is not someone who is indifferent to fame and fortune. If they rashly expose the truth, it may backfire in the end.
this……
He Wen's expression changed unexpectedly; he never imagined there would be such a hidden story behind it all.
Realizing he had almost caused trouble again, his expression inevitably turned somewhat unpleasant. He subconsciously moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing more.
He knew this matter couldn't be rushed, but the thought of Xie Junyang, that old scoundrel, still living a carefree life filled him with hatred.
“It’s also my fault for not explaining this to you sooner,” Xu Yanshu said, breaking the silence as he noticed the other person’s odd behavior. “Where are you going next? I’ll drop you off first and then come over here!”
"No need, I'll go back myself. You go ahead with your work." He Wen waved his hand and then turned to open the car door.
Watching the other person walk away, Xu Yanshu glanced at his watch, then immediately stepped on the gas and drove towards the Huang residence.
