The trip to Daishan was quite exhausting. Yu Qiuchi and his group took a cable car down the mountain, but the production team did not announce the winner, telling the guests to watch the show a day later to find out the answer.
Jiang Chenzhou and the others needed to go back to the Heartbeat House to get their luggage. Yu Qiuchi originally wanted to go back with them, but Mo Weiyun called and said she was coming to pick him up and was in the parking lot.
"Qiu Chi, are you leaving now?" Yan Qing took off the cotton-padded coat she had put on on the mountaintop and ran over, holding the small orange lamp.
"Something came up at home, so I won't be going to Xunhai with you." Yu Qiuchi smoothed down Yan Qing's hair, which was statically charged from taking off his cotton hat.
"Ah, okay then... See you in three days!" Yan Qing looked a little downcast.
Yu Qiuchi thought of Yan Qing's aggrieved appearance squatting under the tree last night. The boy had fair skin and a handsome face. He was usually eloquent, but he stubbornly pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. He wanted to cry but felt ashamed.
He ruffled Yan Qing's hair and comforted her, "It's not like we can't see each other. I'll bring you a gift next time we meet."
"Really! Then I'll bring you lychees, Qiuchi. They're from my own garden! They're especially delicious!" Yan Qing was overjoyed to hear about the gift.
"Alright, let's go! Remember to find a massage parlor, otherwise you'll be in unbearable pain in a couple of days," Yu Qiuchi instructed.
Yu Qiuchi walked to the parking lot and found the license plate number his brother had given him. The car was his SUV. Yu Qiuchi knocked on the black car window, and the window rolled down.
"Assistant Tang? Where's my brother?" Yu Qiuchi glanced into the car but didn't see his brother.
"Mr. Mo went to buy breakfast."
"Oh," Yu Qiuchi said, indicating that he understood, but he did not get into the car. Instead, he leaned against the side of the car and waited.
The sun had already risen, and its light made Yu Qiuchi feel lazy. The excitement of reaching the summit had worn off, and he was indeed sleepy.
"You're back. Have some soy milk." Mo Weiyun touched Yu Qiuchi's face. Mo Weiyun's hand was a little cold, which made Yu Qiuchi shiver.
"Huh? Brother!" Yu Qiuci woke up.
"Get in the car first." The man opened the car door and gestured for Yu Qiuchi to get in.
After getting into the car, Yu Qiuchi slumped in the back seat like a cat. He was exhausted. He had to maintain a proper image while out in public, and now he could finally relax.
"very tired?"
Yu Qiuchi took a sip of soy milk: "Ugh, I'm exhausted!"
"By the way, brother, you're already at the foot of the mountain, why don't you climb up? I remember you once said you were going to conquer Mount Tai!"
Mo Weiyun gave Yu Qiuchi a deep look, then covered him with a small blanket: "Go to sleep first!"
After finally making it back to the capital, Mo Weiyun didn't even get a break. She found a massage therapist for Yu Qiuchi, gave him a few instructions, and then went back to the company because she had a project to discuss.
I'm going to an elder's birthday party tonight, and I'll take him for a full checkup tomorrow.
Yu Qiuchi lay on his large bed, looking at the schedule sent by his secretary. He sighed, "Being a CEO isn't easy."
However, as soon as he got back, all his old cronies started asking him out.
Zhou Baixi: You're so quick to run away!
Zhou Baixi: Let's get together tomorrow night, it's an event organized by Fu Qingheng.
Yu Qiuchi:
Zhou Baixi: ...
Zhou Baixi: Can you stop being so lazy?
Yu Qiuchi: I have read it.
Zhou Baixi: ...
Zhou Baixi: Are you coming or not?
Yu Qiuchi: Come.
Yu Qiuchi turned off her phone and went back to sleep, and before she knew it, it was already dark outside.
The city of Beijing was brightly lit at night. Tonight was Old Master Fu's birthday. Yu Qiuchi was wondering why Fu Qingheng, who always chased after his wife, would be willing to return to Beijing. It seemed that he had been ordered by the Emperor to return.
The dazzling lights illuminated the entire banquet hall, and many guests danced on the dance floor. The classical background music slowly enhanced the atmosphere. Yu Qiuchi did not come with Mo Weiyun. He arrived later and, after meeting with Old Master Fu, found a relatively secluded corner to slowly savor his wine.
He didn't like these kinds of occasions, and Mo Weiyun didn't force him to socialize, so Yu Qiuchi enjoyed his leisure time.
"What's wrong, isn't our Master Yu going to have some fun?" Fu Qingheng, dressed in a red suit, walked over carrying desserts.
"Too lazy to move." Yu Qiuchi languidly swirled his wine glass, his posture aloof. His eyes were somewhat hazy, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a smile played on his lips, making him look like he was seducing people.
"Are you drunk?" After finishing his social engagements, Zhou Baixi, carrying the remaining wine, sat down next to Yu Qiuchi without any hesitation.
"Don't you know my alcohol tolerance?" Yu Qiuchi glanced at Zhou Baixi.
"Hey, have you guys seen the trending topics lately? It's that variety show that Zhou family scoundrel filmed, that guy who came back to China!"
"who?"
"Tsk, that sickly guy."
"You mean that one from the Yu family?"
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, reaching Yu Qiuchi and the others.
“You scoundrel from the Zhou family, Director Zhou, your reputation isn’t much better than mine, is it?” Fu Qingheng said slyly.
"Get lost!" Zhou Baixi kicked Fu Qingheng.
Zhou Baixi looked toward the source of the commotion: "Whose family are those?"
"I don't know." Fu Qingheng shrugged. "Although the organizer is my family, I'm not in charge of it."
That's just how society is; there's a lot of gossip and backbiting behind people's backs. If he, Yu Qiuchi, took it all too seriously, he wouldn't be able to live anymore. Yu Qiuchi didn't take what those people said to heart.
"What will happen to Mo Weiyun if he comes back? I heard he's not a biological descendant of the Yu family!"
"That Mo family member cheated? That's impossible. Would the Yu family tolerate that?"
"Are you stupid? I heard that Mo Weiyun was adopted by Madam Yu. Now that the biological daughter of the Yu family has returned, doesn't that mean she has to give up her position?"
