Ye Tianyu smiled and said, "Didn't I already receive 2.6 million today? With my business in Tianbao Mountain, I'm not short of money for business expansion!"
"And you are my wife, and I haven't given you a single gift yet."
"I just happened to find this pigeon blood ruby at a bargain price today, so I'll give it to you as a gift. You can use it to make some jewelry, such as a gemstone necklace, a ring, and so on!"
Fang Xueqing is not short of money, but a ruby worth 30 million is different; it is a gemstone used to create top-tier high-end jewelry.
Ye Tianyu gave it to her as a gift, which was of great significance.
She was very touched and accepted the ruby without further ado. Then she said "Thank you!" and leaned forward, leaving a red kiss on Ye Tianyu's cheek.
Ye Tianyu's heart skipped a beat, and on a whim, he immediately grabbed Fang Xueqing and pushed her down onto the sofa.
"bite!"
Just then, my phone rang.
Who's calling at this hour? So annoying.
Ye Tianyu got up and picked up his phone.
It was Lin Xueyan's number again.
After the call was connected, Lin Xueyan's sweet and coquettish voice immediately came from the other end.
"Ye Tianyu, are you free now?"
"I'm busy!"
Ye Tianyu replied with annoyance and was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait, don't hang up!"
Lin Xueyan said with a charming smile, "I know you too well. When you say you're busy, you're definitely flirting with Fang Xueqing again!"
Ye Tianyu, you'll ruin your health doing this.
"Take a break. Chairman Hong of the Hong Group wants to see you at Baoxin Coffee Shop. Come over quickly!"
Ye Tianyu looked bitter. How could Fang Xueqing have guessed what he and he were doing?
Hong Guoliang could meet with Lin Xueyan anytime after he finished the task in the morning, but unexpectedly, Lin Xueyan called as soon as he returned.
Could she have had someone following me?
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
He pressed down on his phone, looked at Fang Xueqing, and said with a wry smile, "Hong Guoliang asked me to meet him at Baoxin Coffee Shop!"
Fang Xueqing sat up, straightened her clothes, and said, "You'll have to face him sooner or later. Stop making excuses and go see him!"
"Um!"
Ye Tianyu released his hand and said calmly, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
"Hehe, okay, Mr. Hong and I are waiting for you!"
Lin Xueyan chuckled twice and hung up the phone.
Ye Tianyu immediately got up and prepared to go out.
Fang Xueqing suddenly said, "You just said that Hong Guoliang asked you to meet him at Baoxin Coffee Shop?"
"Yes!"
Ye Tianyu looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"I remember now, Liu Qingyao works as a waitress at Baoxin Coffee Shop!"
Fang Xueqing asked mysteriously, "Won't you feel awkward when you see her?"
Ye Tianyu was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Fang Xueqing had mentioned to him before that she had seen Liu Qingyao, a waitress, at Baoxin Coffee Shop.
My ex-girlfriend used to be a high-status female CEO, but now she's reduced to working as a waitress in a coffee shop. Seeing her would definitely be a bit awkward.
But Hong Guoliang had made several appointments with him, and he couldn't break his promise this time.
He gave a bitter smile: "So what if it's awkward? It's all in the past anyway. I was seeing Hong Guoliang, not her!"
After saying that, he turned and went out.
Fang Xueqing wanted to ask if she wanted to come along, but Ye Tianyu had already disappeared outside the door.
She thought about it and realized that Hong Guoliang had only arranged to meet Ye Tianyu, so she didn't chase after him.
Ye Tianyu drove his Mercedes-Benz and arrived at Baoxin Cafe in about ten minutes, following the navigation instructions.
He hadn't expected the distance to be so close.
After getting off the bus, I went straight into the coffee shop.
"Hello sir, do you have a reservation?"
A waitress stepped forward and politely asked.
"We have a reservation!"
Ye Tianyu was about to say that he was looking for Hong Guoliang.
A familiar voice came from over.
"Ye Tianyu is here!"
Ye Tianyu looked up and saw Lin Xueyan waving at him from a booth by the window on his right.
Without saying a word, he immediately went over.
Ye Tianyu was stunned to see three people sitting in the booth.
Besides Lin Xueyan and a man in his fifties, the other person was Liu Qingyao, who was wearing a waitress uniform and was being held in the man's arms.
When she saw Ye Tianyu, Liu Qingyao seemed flustered and turned her face away.
This man, dressed in a sharp suit, with a balding head, exuded an aura of authority without being angry.
Without a doubt, this old man is Hong Guoliang, the chairman of the Hong Group.
To his astonishment, wasn't Liu Qingyao a waitress here?
Why was she held in his arms without resisting, as if it were voluntary?
Judging from her uniform, she is indeed a waitress here!
He was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
"Hehe! Ye Tianyu, what are you standing there daydreaming for? Why don't you sit down?"
Lin Xueyan gave Liu Qingyao a strange smile and deliberately glanced at her.
After Ye Tianyu sat down, Liu Qingyao warmly introduced the two parties.
"This is Chairman Hong of our Hong Group."
"He is Ye Tianyu."
"Haha! You're indeed young and promising. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Hong Guoliang extended his right hand with a gentle smile.
Ye Tianyu, however, remained indifferent, shook hands with him briefly, and then said calmly.
There's no need for polite words.
"What exactly does Chairman Hong want to talk to me about?"
"Haha! Young people are just a bit impatient. This isn't a good thing!"
Hong Guoliang laughed heartily, "Let's have a cup of coffee first and then chat!"
He then asked the waiter to bring four cups of coffee.
"Civet coffee, the pinnacle of coffee, give it a try!"
Hong Guoliang politely placed a cup of coffee in front of Ye Tianyu.
Ye Tianyu didn't even look at me and said, "I didn't come here just to have coffee with you. I came to see why you asked me to meet you!"
Hong Guoliang looked at him with a half-smile, without answering, and nodded slightly to Lin Xueyan.
Lin Xueyan immediately smiled knowingly: "Ye Tianyu, why are you in such a hurry to ask Chairman Hong why he asked to meet you? Aren't you wondering why Liu Qingyao was being held in Chairman Hong's arms?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyao suddenly trembled slightly, her face still turned towards the glass, gazing outside.
Ye Tianyu shrugged, looking indifferent: "There's nothing between us anymore, why should I be surprised?"
"Giggle!"
Lin Xueyan laughed so hard her waist trembled: "Ye Tianyu, stop pretending! You say it's okay, but you really want to know!"
"Let me tell you, when we came in just now, Chairman Hong was very surprised to see Liu Qingyao working as a waitress here."
"After clarifying the situation with the coffee shop manager, he felt sorry for Liu Qingyao and wanted her to be his mistress and support her!"
"Liu Qingyao readily agreed, and immediately decided she didn't want to work at the coffee shop anymore and sat next to Chairman Hong."
"Do you understand now?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianyu's heart skipped a beat. What was Liu Qingyao up to?
Despite her current downfall, with her looks, marrying an ordinary rich second-generation heir wouldn't be a problem.
Yet she was willing to be kept by Hong Guoliang, who was in his late fifties and early sixties.
What's the point?
Are they after money and status?
