Chapter 211 Disagreement
Qu Jianhang said, "It was like this when I bought it. It was a bit too bright and I didn't like it. But this kind of manor is not suitable for renovation, so it has been preserved like this."
Previously, Lin Xiyin had only seen this type of architecture in movies.
The estate is very large; you need to take a sightseeing bus to visit it.
Lin Xiyin had seen similar manors when she was abroad; they exuded mystery and nobility.
At that time, she could only look from the outside; she couldn't go in.
Unexpectedly, she has now become the owner of this manor.
Qu Jianhang said that this manor now belongs to her.
She had previously signed many documents and completed the transfer procedures.
She had no idea that Qu Jianhang had already registered this place under her name.
Lin Xiyin already knew that Qu Jianhang was rich, but this moment made it feel real.
However, she was always thinking about Yan Chengyu, and she was somewhat absent-minded while looking at the scenery of the manor.
Afterwards, Qu Jianhang had someone take them to see his room.
Lin Xiyin pulled Qu Jianhang aside: "Mom, I have something to ask you."
"What's wrong?"
"We're spending the New Year here, doesn't Uncle Yan know?"
Qu Jianhang smiled and said, "Whether he knows or not, it doesn't matter much. He can't go abroad anyway..."
"No, what I mean is, didn't you talk to Uncle Yan about this? Regardless of whether he can go abroad or not, you should have told him..."
"Oh dear, Mom was so busy I forgot." Qu Jianhang hugged her. "Are you blaming Mom? Or did Yan Chengyu say something to you on the phone?"
“No,” Lin Xiyin hugged her back, “I didn’t mean to blame you, it’s just… I feel sorry for Uncle Yan.”
"He's pitiful?" Qu Jianhang asked as if he'd heard a joke. "He's not pitiful at all. Okay, stop overthinking it, I'll call him right now."
Lin Xiyin asked skeptically, "Really?"
Qu Jianhang took out his phone and dialed a number in front of her.
Lin Xiyin then said, "Then you two have a good chat."
As soon as Lin Xiyin turned around, her phone rang.
Qu Jianhang didn't speak, but Yan Chengyu said, "Hanghang..."
Lin Xiyin glanced back at the corner.
Qu Jianhang waved to her with a smile on his face and said, "It's me."
Seeing that they had started chatting, Lin Xiyin felt relieved and left.
Qu Jianhang sat down by the window and, without waiting for anything to be said on the other end, asked directly, "Why did you call Ruan Ruan?"
"I..." Yan Chengyu rarely hesitated when speaking, "I didn't..."
"What do you mean 'not'? The fact is you made the phone call, right? Let's handle this between the two of us. Don't bother the child."
“I didn’t say anything, I just asked her when you were coming back.”
"Don't call her again," Qu Jianhang said. "When I come back is none of your business."
"Hanghang..."
“Don’t call me that,” Qu Jianhang said. “After all, we’re just friends with benefits.”
After saying that, Qu Jianhang hung up the phone.
Yan Chengyu felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He immediately dialed back, but the call was quickly disconnected.
He couldn't bring himself to pester her relentlessly. He put down his phone, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed.
There was a knock on the door, and he said, "Come in."
"Secretary," the secretary said as she entered, "these are the documents that require your signature. I've prepared them."
"Put it aside."
"Secretary, you're not feeling well right now, so please put other work aside for now..."
Yan Chengyu smiled and said, "It's nothing."
They said it was nothing.
He suddenly had a stomachache during the meeting. His secretary, who had worked for him for many years, knew that he was very good at enduring pain.
But at that moment, he couldn't help himself.
You can tell how painful it was.
She's still receiving intravenous fluids.
The doctor recommended hospitalization, but he insisted on receiving intravenous fluids at the outpatient clinic.
The secretary shook her head, very worried about his health.
After leaving the infusion room, the secretary thought it over and over again before finally calling Qu Jianhang.
He felt that if there was anyone in the world who could persuade Yan Chengyu, it would definitely be Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang saved his secretary's phone number. Yan Chengyu was busy with work and had very little personal time, so his secretary and Qu Jianhang communicated about many things.
Qu Jianhang answered the phone and asked, "Secretary Wu, what's the matter?"
Secretary Wu first apologized: "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, Mr. Qu."
"fine."
"It's like this, the Party Secretary is sick. The doctor wants him to be hospitalized, but he refuses. He's currently receiving an IV drip, and he wants to go back to work after it's finished. I really can't persuade him. Could you please talk to him?"
"He's sick?" Qu Jianhang frowned. "What happened?"
"It's a stomach problem, an old ailment. Blood tests showed several abnormalities in other areas as well."
"Secretary Wu, it's like this, your secretary and I... have already separated."
Secretary Wu was utterly shocked: "This, how could this be..."
"Of course it is," Qu Jianhang said. "Even married couples can get divorced, so isn't it normal for people like us to separate?"
"But, but..." Secretary Wu stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say at all.
Qu Jianhang smiled and said, "We are all adults, and your Party Secretary is calm and mature. This kind of small matter won't affect him, so don't worry!"
Secretary Wu said, "President Qu, the Party Secretary has been staying up late and not eating properly these past few days. I was wondering why before, but now I know. You say it won't affect him? How could that be? You clearly know how much the Party Secretary feels about you..."
“He knows how he feels about me,” Qu Jianhang said. “You don’t need to worry about this anymore. Just… take good care of him, and don’t contact me again.”
"President Qu!"
Secretary Wu had just called out when he heard the other end of the phone hang up.
Yan Chengyu and Qu Jianhang have actually broken up?
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Secretary Wu.
He wasn't involved, so logically he shouldn't have experienced such strong emotional fluctuations.
But having followed Yan Chengyu for so many years and risen through the ranks with him, he naturally knew what kind of person Yan Chengyu was.
He was very dedicated to pursuing Qu Jianhang.
After being with Qu Jianhang, Yan Chengyu visibly came alive.
It's not to say that it was already dead before.
But you can sense that Yan Chengyu used to only have work on his mind.
He truly is a good public servant.
He never thinks about himself.
Secretary Wu felt that he was living a very tiring life. He had thought more than once, did someone like Yan Chengyu not have any selfish motives at all?
Later I learned that all his selfish motives were for Qu Jianhang.
Only after being with Qu Jianhang did he start living like a normal person again.
Not a work machine.
But now, Qu Jianhang says they've broken up.
No wonder Yan Chengyu has been acting strangely these past few days.
Working overtime and staying up late, not eating much, I made myself sick.
Secretary Wu suddenly felt a headache coming on.
The time Yan Chengyu spent with Qu Jianhang was undoubtedly the most comfortable period of his work.
Because Yan Chengyu was in a very good mood.
He had a vibrant energy, and was many times better than the person who only knew how to work.
If the two break up, wouldn't he have to go back to his previous work situation?
Just a few days after the breakup, Yan Chengyu had already ended up in the hospital.
If this goes on for a long time...
Secretary Wu dared not think too deeply about it.
He went back into the infusion room, holding a book in his hand.
Yan Chengyu didn't notice it at first, but later Secretary Wu deliberately placed it on the bedside table.
Yan Chengyu asked, "This is..."
Secretary Wu poured him a glass of water and smiled a little embarrassedly: "My wife and I had a fight. It's because... she thinks I'm too busy with work and don't have time for her. I don't know how to comfort her, so I bought a book to learn."
"You can learn this?" Yan Chengyu looked over. "Can I take a look?"
Secretary Wu hurriedly handed it to him, saying, "Why are you looking at this... I'm just desperate and grasping at straws."
“I’m getting an IV drip here, and you won’t let me work, so I have to kill some time.”
“Okay, then you can take a look.” Secretary Wu said, “Anyway, I’ve already looked at most of them.”
After leaving the room, Secretary Wu sighed.
That's all the help he can offer.
The main issue is that as a subordinate, he couldn't directly ask his superior what problems he was having in his relationship.
Besides, he was more than ten years younger than Yan Chengyu, and their relationship was that of both teacher and father.
He was even more embarrassed to ask about his elders' relationship problems.
Now we can only hope that Yan Chengyu will do his best and bring the person back as soon as possible.
While abroad, Lin Xiyin had no idea what Qu Jianhang had done.
The main problem is that she didn't show any signs of being heartbroken after the breakup.
The family reunited abroad and, I must say, had a wonderful time.
Lin Xiyin was initially worried that Pei Muye and Qu Jianhang might feel awkward together.
Both of them were very natural, and Pei Muyi was very respectful to Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang was also very enthusiastic towards him.
The happiest person was Lin Youxing.
For the first time, he deeply felt how happy it was to have both his parents by his side.
He used to see other children with their parents, but he didn't.
Now he can hold one in each hand and go out to show them off!
Lin Xiyin was always strict with him and would not tolerate his mistakes.
Now that Qu Jianhang is protecting him, Lin Youxing's personality has become much more flamboyant than before.
In Qu Jianhang's words, children are naturally like this, and we shouldn't suppress them too much.
Otherwise, when they grow up, they won't be magnanimous enough.
This was the first time Lin Xiyin had ever heard of spoiling a child being described in such a grand and respectable way.
She's open to discussing everything else, but when it comes to educating her children, she's unwilling to compromise.
When the two were alone together, Pei Muye said to her, "Auntie is good to Youyou, there's nothing we can do about it, we can't stop her. Haven't you heard of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren?"
"I know, but we can't spoil them unconditionally," Lin Xiyin said. "What if they become arrogant and unreasonable later on?"
“Our children won’t do that.”
"You won't be able to now, but you will be later."
"Then you should also talk to your aunt properly, and tell the two of you not to quarrel."
"I didn't want to argue either," Lin Xiyin sighed. "Who knew she would spoil the child so much?"
Pei Muyi thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Auntie."
"You?" Lin Xiyin asked skeptically, "I've noticed you don't even dare to raise your voice in front of my mother, how dare you say this to her?"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Pei Muye said, both amused and exasperated. "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Pei Muye was indeed somewhat intimidated when facing Qu Jianhang alone.
He was mainly feeling guilty because he had treated Lin Xiyin very badly over the years.
