She didn't know how much of what those words were veiled criticism, but she knew one thing: after kicking Xu Zhaoming out of the company, she would have to face her father, Xu Guangcai.
"Miss, please have some water. Is something wrong? You seem very unhappy." Yue Lanxing brought over the water.
Xu Zhaoyue finally came to her senses and took the cup from her. "Ah? Oh, I was just thinking that if Xu Zhaoming can't come to Xu's anymore, will she do something desperate?"
Seeing that the young lady was thinking about such a complicated matter, Yue Lanxing also felt troubled. "Do you need me?" He made a chopping motion with his palm and then looked at Xu Zhaoyue.
“Not yet.” Xu Zhaoyue shook her head. “If you’re not smart enough, you’ll just do things recklessly. Let’s find an opportunity to send her abroad. She hasn’t even finished university yet, so let’s send her back to school.”
"Where should it be sent?" Yue Lanxing asked curiously.
Xu Zhaoyue wasn't very familiar with schools outside of Shanghai and couldn't name a specific one for the moment. "I don't know either. I'll ask the school tomorrow. I'll go see Xiaohao, and you can go see Xuanxuan too."
When the topic of school came up, He Kaiyuan was worried. A few days ago, when he left home, his sister said something that seemed very strange.
Before heading back to school, He Kaiyuan said, "Sis, I'm going back to school now. Just call me if you need anything."
"Wait a minute, you've peeled such a big jar of pistachios, can you finish them all by yourself?" He Lianhua said as she reached out to take them, but He Kaiyuan nimbly dodged her.
"Hey sis, you already ate yesterday. I need to take those hard-won peeled ones back to school. You can have the servants peel them for you." He Kaiyuan hugged the jar tightly to his chest.
Seeing his spineless state and considering the possibility she had thought of, He Lianhua was so angry she was about to lose her mind. But it was precisely at times like this that she needed to remain calm.
"Does Xiao Hao love pistachios just like his sister? When I was in school, I often peeled pistachios for Xu Zhaoyue. She was a picky eater in the cafeteria."
"Really? Sister Zhaoyue is picky about food again?" He Kaiyuan took the bait immediately, without doubting the authenticity of the information at all.
He Lianhua nodded with a smirk, "Tsk, who says otherwise? That's why they're siblings, of course they look alike. I could guess it right away. You're giving this to Xiao Hao, right?"
“Yes, he’s such a picky eater, he won’t eat anything if it doesn’t suit his taste. He’s so engrossed in writing that he forgets to eat and sleep. I just got him some snacks.” He Kaiyuan shook the jar in his hand.
"Okay, then take your precious jar to school. If you and Xiaohao have any issues or conflicts this time, you can ask me."
“You just have to go along with his and Xiaoyue’s tempers. I have experience with that,” He Lianhua assured him. “Okay, sister, I’ll definitely come back and ask you for advice if anything happens.” He Kaiyuan left happily.
It wasn't until today that He Kaiyuan realized something was wrong. He and Xiao Hao hadn't had any conflicts recently, so he had forgotten about it.
However, Xiao Hao was going to the literary society in the afternoon, and he wanted to go with him. But the literary society's event this time did not allow outsiders to participate; only students majoring in literature could go.
He didn't intend to barge in; he just said he wanted to wait outside. But Xu Zhaohao didn't even agree to that suggestion. He's in his dorm now, while Xu Zhaohao is in the literary club.
So he remembered what his sister had said, but felt it wasn't appropriate to ask about such a small matter, and he also felt that his sister might have noticed something and was testing him.
He Kaiyuan remained conflicted until Xu Zhaohao returned. They shared a double room, and he could tell who came in without even opening his eyes while lying in bed.
"Oh, asleep? I brought back some cookies, want a piece?" Xu Zhaohao put everything on the table and then started changing his clothes.
He Kaiyuan didn't dare pretend to be asleep at all, so he got up immediately. He watched Xu Zhaohao change his clothes, stared at him for a while, and when Xu Zhaohao was about to turn around, He Kaiyuan got up to see what he had brought back. "What kind of cookies?"
"It was prepared by a senior student. He prepared a meal for everyone, and this was the lightest one, so I chose this one." Xu Zhaohao changed his clothes and sat on the bed.
"Male or female?" He Kaiyuan stopped holding the biscuit and asked the question that concerned him the most.
"Huh?" Xu Zhaohao didn't expect that he would ask whether a cookie was made by a man or a woman. "It was made by a man, I think it was made by the president's boyfriend."
He Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, which president? Didn't you say there were two presidents?" he asked casually, leaving Xu Zhaohao bewildered.
"Of course it's a girl?" Xu Zhaohao was about to say that it was the female president's boyfriend, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the two of them hadn't had much contact today. On the contrary, he was quite close to the male president.
The classmate who told him this did look mysterious at the time. Xu Zhaohao seemed to understand something, and he slapped his thigh hard, crying out in pain, "Ouch! That hurts!" Then he jumped up and hit his head again.
"Look at you, so careless! Let me see where you bumped yourself!" He Kaiyuan quickly went over and held his head to check for bleeding. "Don't move, let me look carefully."
Xu Zhaohao obediently stayed still. He felt particularly at ease when he smelled the perfume on He Kaiyuan. "Hey, you're wearing perfume?" He immediately looked up at He Kaiyuan.
He Kaiyuan immediately pulled him into his arms again. "Yes! Didn't you say this smelled good? So I bought it." It had been two weeks since then, and Xiao Hao hadn't expected that he would only just discover that he had been wearing perfume.
"Oh, really?" Xu Zhaohao laughed, relieved by the perfume he had sprayed, though he didn't understand why he felt at ease.
