Chapter 52: Xie Yingwei
Xia Cheng felt that it would be more reliable to let Xun Sheng trust her than to have the unrealistic fantasy of controlling the company and replacing Xun Sheng, who was trusted by his father.
After leaving the office, Xia Cheng sat at his desk, thought for a while, and sent a message.
"Brother, I have a lot of stuff. Can I go back with you tonight?"
When she came back from Chen Kelin's house, she did have a lot of stuff, and she could have taken a taxi, but she would rather take this opportunity to get closer to him.
It took two hours for the other party to reply, with a simple "OK."
She curled her lips in joy and hummed softly. The male colleague sitting opposite her saw her and started to chat with her:
"Xia Cheng, what are you so happy about?"
The male colleague is named Dong Gao, who has also worked under Xun Sheng for several years. Due to his busy work, he broke up with his girlfriend who was about to get married not long ago.
Xia Cheng happened to join the company during this gap. When Dong Gao saw her, his eyes lit up and he felt that this was a godsend.
Xia Cheng narrowed her eyes.
"Aww... I'm so happy just thinking about getting off work."
"Haha, you're quite interesting then." Dong Gao tapped his phone. "I sent you a friend request. Please agree and I'll show you something more interesting."
"ah?"
Xia Cheng opened her phone and agreed to the application. Soon Dong Gao sent her some interesting photos.
In the photo, the chubby Xu Yi was dressed as a woman, holding a big cream cake in his hand. The protagonist of the photo was obviously Xun Sheng wearing a birthday hat. Xia Cheng had never seen him smile so happily, with his big white teeth shining brightly.
"How about it? It's funny, isn't it? Xu Yi came up with this crazy idea of dressing up as a woman, saying that he wanted to let Mr. Xun experience having a girlfriend to celebrate his birthday with him."
"Birthday?"
"Yeah, speaking of birthdays, Mr. Xun has another birthday next month. What kind of surprise should I prepare for him this time..."
Xia Cheng's eyes lit up. Birthday, Xun Sheng's birthday. As an orphan, this must be the day that will most easily move him. He will infinitely magnify other people's kindness because of this special date, and he will also become sensitive to the word "birthday". Whether it is good or bad, it will produce effects that he does not have at other times!
Last year, Xun Sheng’s birthday seemed to be in August, probably in early August, but he didn’t even come back. He was lying drunk on the sofa in the morning. It was only from Xun Youdong’s scolding that Xia Cheng found out that the day before was Xun Sheng’s birthday.
Of course, birthdays require presents. At the time, Xia Cheng didn't know what to give, so she simply gave him a Superman doll she had crocheted, and attached a note that read, "I hope my brother is happy every day."
Now that I think about it, I was such a fool. Xun Sheng didn't even mention the gift she gave him. He must have stuffed it somewhere and couldn't find it. She had to stay up all night to think about it.
On Xia Cheng's birthday, Xun Sheng didn't give her any gifts at all. Xun Mo and He Qing gave her some jewelry. After the family had a big party, at the end of the dinner, she received a house of more than 100 square meters in the city center from Xun Youdong.
Xia Cheng stood up and asked Dong Gao, "Excuse me, when is Mr. Xiaoxun's birthday?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be August 9th."
"Gregorian calendar or lunar calendar?"
"Of course it's the Gregorian calendar."
Xia Cheng made an OK gesture and was about to sit down when she heard Dong Gao ask again:
"Xia Cheng, you're not familiar with Mr. Xun? You don't even know his birthday. I saw Mr. Xun bringing you breakfast these days..."
Han Wenya, who had been listening to the whole thing, interrupted with a smile.
"It's not necessarily that Mr. Xun brought it. It's also possible that someone else asked Mr. Xun to bring it."
After saying that, she winked at Xia Cheng and then gave Dong Gao a look, the meaning of which was very clear: the beauty had already been taken.
Xia Cheng sat down, laughed twice, silently opened her phone, added (8.9) after Xun Sheng's note, thought for a moment, and changed the original note to a little yellow face with a mysterious smile.
This time, on her birthday, she would not give him something she made herself. It would be a waste of thought and it would take up his time. His eyes would turn red from staying up all night but he still wouldn't even say thank you.
She quietly began to search for birthday gift ideas online.

Time passed quickly and it was time to get off work. Xia Cheng was standing downstairs of the company building waiting for Xun Sheng with a bag of clothes. In order to avoid the crowd, she ran forward a few hundred meters and stood near the bus stop. She also asked Xun Sheng to pick her up in a while so as to avoid her colleagues who were getting off work.
As expected, Xun Sheng didn't care at all. He stopped in front of Xia Cheng, slowly opened the rear window, and stared at the tablet in his hand without raising his head.
"Get in the car."
Xia Cheng looked around, sat down with a somewhat resentful look, and closed the car door tightly.
"Haha, brother, you came so early, are you afraid that I'll be anxious waiting? I'm really touched~"
"Don't be moved, it's mom who wants me to go home early."
"Hmm? Why?"
"Someone's coming home."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know him."
The two of them walked in silence all the way. Xia Cheng closed her eyes and dozed off. They soon arrived at the villa.
She was carrying a change of clothes. Xun Sheng turned around, took a look at her bulging bag, and hesitantly stretched out his arm to take it.
Xia Cheng pretended not to see it, ran past him, and muttered to the open door:
"Wow, there's such a beautiful sister sitting inside."
Xun Sheng frowned slightly, retracted his hand, put it into his belt, and strode forward. It was just a few steps, but he was still worried that she couldn't carry it. It was ridiculous. He looked very strong when he was standing at the bus stop waiting for her.
The two of them entered the house one after the other, and He Qing gave Xia Cheng a wink.
"This is Xie Yingwei. She played with Shengsheng when she was little. She later went abroad and just came back recently."
"Hello, Sister Yingwei." Xia Cheng greeted her sweetly, but did not sit down. She found an excuse to go upstairs. Xun Sheng wanted to follow her upstairs, but was stopped by He Qing.
"Yingwei just came back, you two can chat."
"Mom, I..."
"What's the point of being busy with work all day? Yingwei has traveled to 24 countries on her own before, which is amazing. You two might be interested if you talk about it."
He Qing was originally sitting with Xie Yingwei. After pulling Xun Sheng over, he stepped aside, leaving space for the two young people.
Xie Yingwei originally followed her parents' advice and came here to leave an impression so as to manage family relationships.
She never thought that He Qing would ask her to go on a blind date. She was very knowledgeable and polite, and she thought to herself that she had to be polite no matter what the other person was like.
But when Xia Cheng came in, she was amazed. When Xun Sheng came in, she was stunned again. The fact that both brother and sister were so good-looking made her, who was plain-looking, feel a little ashamed.
But if you think about it, you may not be worse than them because of your high education and rich experience.
Xie Ying straightened her back slightly and greeted Xun Sheng. She smiled appropriately, but Xun Sheng didn't even look at her. His eyes were fixed on Xia Cheng who was going upstairs. She called out softly to the man and he came back.
Under the slanted eyebrows, a pair of clear and handsome peach blossom eyes were looking at her indifferently.
"Hello, Miss Xie."
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Hello, Mr. Xun, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Ying Wei."
