Yan Bo and Yan Yuan's negotiations have completely fallen apart.
After Yan Bo hung up the phone, he didn't block Yan Yuan again.
However, given his older brother's character and temperament, once he's said this much, he won't be calling to offer any advice or concern in the near future.
Yan Bo didn't seem to be acting strangely when he left, but when he returned to the company, even someone as oblivious as Di Xu could sense that he was in a very low mood.
When the documents were delivered, Yan Bo was seen staring at them in a daze, a rare sight.
Di Xu couldn't help but ask, "Boss, did you have a fight with your junior sister?"
Yan Bo raised his head, his expression very complicated.
"No……"
He, on the other hand, would rather Tong Xiaohuai argue with him.
That way, he might feel a little better.
Di Xu quickly reviewed everything he knew recently and vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Still worried about things at home?" Di Xu probed cautiously.
In public terms, Yanbo was his superior, and his abilities were naturally superior to his.
But personally, Yanbo is just a young man who has just turned twenty; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his younger brother.
Therefore, his current probing is not gossip, but rather a genuine expression of concern.
Yan Bo did not deny it, and nodded with an "Mmm", but did not intend to elaborate. He lowered his head and opened the documents that Di Xu had just brought in.
Because of the falling out between Yanbo and his parents and family, both Tong Xiaohuai and Yanbo were somewhat cautious in their interactions during this period.
Yan Bo was afraid that Tong Xiaohuai would feel guilty, and Tong Xiaohuai was afraid that Yan Bo would do something rash, so they both avoided talking about the matter.
Fortunately, Yan Bo was very busy during this period, and Tong Xiaohuai was also busy preparing for exams, so the two did not have many opportunities to meet.
In some ways, this can be considered a good thing.
At least, it avoids the awkwardness of accidentally mentioning sensitive issues during a meeting.
The downside is that after nearly ten days apart, the two of them miss each other so much that their hearts ache.
Finally, Tong Xiaohuai finished her last exam and left the exam hall. She couldn't wait to call Yan Bo.
"Xiao Huai, are you done with the exam?"
"Yeah, the exam's over. How late are you going to work tonight? Shall we meet for a late-night snack?"
Yanbo had originally planned to surprise her by finishing his work early and coming to pick her up.
Little did he know that just as he was about to leave, some problems arose at the construction site near the villa, requiring him to rush over and handle them.
At that moment, he was sitting in his car heading to a neighboring city.
"I'm sorry, something happened at the villa. I'm on my way there now, and I might not be back in time tonight."
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiaohuai became anxious, "What happened? Do you need help?"
Tong Xiaohuai's help mainly referred to financial matters.
In terms of manpower, she would not easily allow her people to get involved in matters concerning the Yanhuang people.
Moreover, Yanbo had a wider network of connections than she knew, so she never thought of helping him in this regard.
"I'm not entirely sure yet. I'll go check it out first and then call you back. I'm hanging up now; I have a call coming in."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Xiaohuai lost all interest in thinking about dinner.
It just so happens that this was the same elective course that Xiaomi and Zeng Xianghuai took together. She had just hung up the phone when Xiaomi and Zeng Xianghuai came over to invite her to dinner. Thinking that winter vacation was coming up soon and everyone would not be able to see each other for a while, Tong Xiaohuai couldn't refuse, so she sat down with them at a Sichuan restaurant on the food street outside L University.
Tong Xiaohuai was preoccupied with Yan Bo's affairs, so she was somewhat absent-minded during the meal.
"Xiao Huai, did you have a fight with Teacher Yan?"
It has to be said that most of the troubles of young men and women seem to stem from relationships.
Tong Xiaohuai was indeed troubled by Yan Bo's affairs, but they weren't arguing.
"No, we rarely argue!"
Having already resigned himself to his fate, Zeng Xianghuai jokingly teased her, "What's wrong with you lying to me? At least that way, I can feel a little more at peace with myself."
Before Tong Xiaohuai could answer, Xiaomi glared at him.
"If you're not as good as others, why should you let them lie to make you feel better?"
Tong Xiaohuai quickly came to Zeng Xianghuai's rescue, "However, you guessed right, we really did have a fight this time, and we haven't seen each other for ten days!"
That's half true and half false. It's true that they haven't seen each other for ten days, but the argument is just a lie.
Zeng Xianghuai's eyes lit up. "Really? Do I have a chance?"
He was going all out. He'd already suffered all sorts of setbacks, so now he was just throwing caution to the wind and shamelessly pretending to be stupid and going crazy.
Xiao Mi couldn't help but push his head, "Why are you getting so excited when other people are arguing? Haven't you heard the saying 'advise to reconcile, not to break up'? If you continue to be so shameless and brazen, I'll block you!"
Xiao Mi was just playing around with Zeng Xianghuai when, unexpectedly, a thoughtless remark triggered some unpleasant memories for Tong Xiaohuai.
I don't know if Yanbo has released his parents and brother from the dark room yet.
Yan Yuan hasn't called her since that day.
This relieved her, but also left her with a slightly strange sense of disappointment.
Because if Yan Yuan calls her, she can at least hear some information about Yan Yuan's parents from him.
But now, she has no idea how far things have gone between Yanbo and his parents.
She tried several times to pick up the phone and call Tao Jia.
But thinking about it carefully, Tao Jia is the kind of person who can't keep a secret. If she accidentally reveals something to Yan Bo's parents, wouldn't I be implicating Tao Jia?
Actually, it would be best to verify this with Yanbo.
But Yanbo has already gone to such lengths for her. If she were to ask him for confirmation or further questions, it would be tantamount to indirectly putting new pressure on him.
She really wanted to gain Yanbo's parents' approval, but she didn't actually agree with Yanbo using such extreme methods to provoke his parents.
Unconsciously caught in an internal struggle, she lowered her head and stirred the rice in her bowl.
After Xiao Mi finished criticizing Zeng Xianghuai, she turned around to comfort Tong Xiaohuai, only to find her even more downcast than before. Her heart skipped a beat, and she assumed that Tong Xiaohuai had really quarreled with Yan Bo.
"Xiao Huai, where are you planning to go during the holidays? Xiang Huai, a few classmates, and I are planning to go to the border. Do you want to come?"
Tong Xiaohuai looked up, trying her best to hide her low spirits and appear more enthusiastic.
"Aren't you going home for Chinese New Year during winter break?"
"Go to the border and come back home. Anyway, the New Year has lost its festive atmosphere. It doesn't matter where you spend it."
Tong Xiaohuai remembered that Yan Bo had mentioned before that he wanted to spend the Spring Festival in L City.
Should she persuade him to return to Beijing for the Spring Festival?
If this continues, it will cause great harm to Yanbo and his parents.
Or, you can play with Xiaomi and the others while Yanbo goes home to be with his parents.
