Looking at the man's nonchalant expression, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself, realizing once again that she had truly missed out on this man.
Looking ahead? He knew perfectly well that he might never meet someone who treated him more sincerely than Xu Yanshu in his entire life.
"You'll probably be heading to Chengdu soon, right? Will you come back after that?"
"I may need to stay in Kyoto for a while longer, and then I will officially set off for the destination after I have finished dealing with things."
Xie Huanyu nodded knowingly, then paused for a moment before carefully saying, "Be careful, Zhou Zehao might make some moves recently."
The moment he finished speaking, the phone on the table rang.
Seeing Zhou Zehao's name in her contact list, Xie Huanyu's eyes flickered guiltily before she swiped to answer the phone, "Hello, Young Master Zhou!"
"I've invited a few people to get together at Ruyue Bar tonight, Miss Xie, I'm sure you'll do me the honor of joining us, right?"
Upon recognizing Zhou Zehao's voice on the other end, Xu Yanshu paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Previously, it was because of Xie Junyang's arrangement, so why is Xie Huanyu still entangled with Zhou Zehao now?
Seeing Xu Yanshu's reaction, Xie Huanyu felt a sudden panic, but she had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I understand, I'll be there then."
Not wanting the other party to misunderstand, he put down his phone and began to explain to himself.
"The company's situation is still unstable, so I can't afford to break ties for now."
Thinking back to what the other party had just said, Xu Yanshu guessed that Zhou Zehao was unwilling to let Xie Huanyu go, and he unconsciously frowned.
If it was to disgust her, Zhou Zehao's attitude towards her was destined to be anything but good. He had also heard Zhengyu mention before that Zhou Zehao had a rather promiscuous private life and had been exposed for scandals a few years ago because of it.
"It's ultimately unwise to conspire with a tiger. If you have the chance, you should sever ties with him as soon as possible." Xu Yanshu said something solemnly, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "I will handle my past grievances with him myself. Just take care of yourself."
But I also want to help him...
Xie Huanyu hesitated for a moment, and Xu Yanshu's words were probably out of concern for her. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her gaze towards the man suddenly held a hint of affection.
I was truly blinded by greed before, and I actually let down such a gentle man for a scumbag like Lu Huai.
Cough cough—
Xu Yanshu felt a little uncomfortable under such a gaze, and he couldn't help but cough twice. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Can I go first this time?"
Suddenly, she felt a strong reluctance to see the man leave again. After hesitating, Xie Huanyu tentatively spoke, a restrained emotion deep in her eyes.
Although he didn't say it, he knew in his heart that once he officially settled in Kyoto, he probably wouldn't return to this city.
Although Xu Yanshu was somewhat confused, he eventually nodded in agreement, "Okay, you can go now!"
Xie Huanyu was initially worried that the other party would think she was being unreasonable, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive answer.
Even though she was reluctant to leave, she didn't linger any longer. She stood up from her seat without hesitation, waved to Xu Yanshu, and then turned and walked out of the coffee shop.
...
"What?! Zhou Shengyu and Huang Dongsheng actually know each other?!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhengyu's reaction was so strong. Xu Yanshu subconsciously moved his phone further away, frowned slightly, and after a moment of calm, spoke again.
"And they're quite close!"
"Have you mentioned your situation to him before...?"
“Of course not,” Xu Yanshu replied firmly, loosening his tie with one hand, a hint of worry in the depths of his eyes. “But I need to think of a way to leave Kyoto as soon as possible without offending Huang Dongsheng.”
He doesn't know if he can earn his first pot of gold right now. If he offends a big shot like Huang Dongsheng now, he might as well give up on his career.
But he couldn't just stay like that. If they met a couple more times, Zhou Shengyu would definitely notice the flaw.
“Yan Shu, if it really doesn’t work out, just give in. There are quite a few people outside who are eager to recognize Jay Chou as their father, you…”
What kind of terrible idea is this?
Xu Yanshu was speechless and immediately hung up the phone without saying a word, thinking to himself that Jiang Zhengyu was becoming more and more unreliable.
Recalling the hostile look in the other person's eyes yesterday, his expression grew even colder.
No matter how wealthy the Zhou family is, I will never have the slightest desire to curry favor with them.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Zhengyu stared at the phone that had been hung up and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He wasn't just joking; he mainly wanted to test Yan Shu's attitude.
Judging from the current reaction, this stubborn mule is unlikely to come to a conclusion.
Qin Shengyi carried the fruit platter into the balcony, chose a comfortable spot, and then spoke.
"So, did Brother Yan Shu say when he'll be back?"
"Be prepared, your brother Yan Shu might have to stay in Kyoto for a while longer!"
What happened?
Qin Shengyi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She raised her eyes and gave the person in front of her a cool look. "Jiang Zhengyu!"
"So what exactly happened? Didn't Brother Yan Shu say he would return to Rongcheng immediately after picking up Uncle He?"
