He walked to the sofa and sat down without any restraint, even a little arrogant, as if he was the master of the place.
"Where's the lady?"
He was asking about He Meiqi. Just as the housekeeper was about to answer, there was a noise from the kitchen, and then He Meiqi came out with a plate of fruit.
Seeing them arrive, he wasn't surprised at all. "I was just thinking of calling you to see when you'll be here. The meal is ready. Lao Liu, go upstairs and call everyone to come down for dinner."
The butler nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
He Meiqi approached Xia Yunxi affectionately and took her hand. "Why didn't you bring your sweetie with you?"
Xia Yunxi curled the corner of her mouth and subconsciously looked at Li Hanting.
"Why did you bring them here? You're not happy here." Li Hanting was not polite at all.
"You really dare to say anything." He Meiqi rolled her eyes in annoyance, then took Xia Yunxi's hand and sat down on the sofa. "Didn't you see how happy the old man was when your half-brother came back? He really wanted to announce to the whole world that his most beloved son had returned."
"Why are you talking about this?" Li Hanting frowned. "If you can let it go, I've prepared a house for you outside."
"Hmph, you want me to move out in disgrace and then let those bitches take advantage of you? When have you seen me, your mother, be so cowardly?" He Meiqi said unhappily.
Then he changed his tone and looked at Xia Yunxi, "Yunxi, I heard that you quit your job?"
"Ah, oh, oh... yes!" Xia Yunxi nodded, then looked at Li Hanting.
He Meiqi interrupted her: "What are you looking at him for? Don't worry, he didn't say that. It's just Mr. Shao from your company. He's actually related to our family. He has to call me aunt."
It turned out that they were really relatives. Xia Yunxi always thought that Xiao Shao always gave her various conveniences for Qi Jun's sake.
"He told me that the guy is very talkative. He knows about your relationship with Han Ting and even insisted that Han Ting treat us to a meal."
Xia Yunxi was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or not. She felt that with Mr. Shao's personality, he would probably do such a thing.
"But I rejected it. Anyway, it doesn't matter when we get together. By the way, what are your plans now that you have resigned?" He Meiqi suddenly asked.
"Ah, this, I..." Xia Yunxi was shocked by Ms. He Meiqi's news and was still unable to react.
Before she could think of how to answer, He Meiqi said to herself, "Why don't you go to work at Han Ting's company after the New Year? There are many positions in his company. You can choose whatever you are good at."
The tone of his voice was as if a rich man was waving his hand and letting Xia Yunxi pick whatever he liked.
Xia Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This isn't good..."
She felt that this was a subtle refusal. A large company like the Li Group was not something she could enter just because she wanted to.
Moreover, Xia Yunxi did not forget that the reason she chose to find a job in such a far place like Jinyuan was entirely because Li Hanting ordered to block all her paths.
She had no choice but to go so far away to work.
"What's wrong with that? It's just a matter of Han Ting's words. Han Ting, tell me what kind of position to arrange for Yun Xi, preferably so that she can stay by your side. These two people should not be separated for too long, otherwise how can they cultivate their relationship?" He Meiqi made the final decision.
Without waiting for Li Hanting to say anything, Xia Yunxi waved her hands hastily: "No, no, really no..."
"What's wrong?" He Meiqi looked at her sideways.
"Um..." Xia Yunxi raised her hand to brush away a strand of hair from her ear: "I plan to rest for a while and then make plans later."
"That's easy. As Han Ting's personal secretary, I only need to take care of his food and daily life. How about that? This job is easy, right?"
puff--
Xia Yunxi opened her mouth and stared blankly at Ms. He Meiqi. She really wanted to ask her how she could say such words so seriously?
"Is there such a job?" She asked stutteringly after a long while.
He Meiqi waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? I just added it."
Xia Yunxi: “…”
So, just because you have the right, you can be so arrogant?
Li Hanting, who was listening nearby, had a slight smile on his lips. Although it was very subtle, it was enough to show that he was in a good mood.
Until there was a noise from upstairs.
Mr. Li, supported by a young man, slowly came down from upstairs.
The second lady was following behind him. When Xia Yunxi first heard the name "second lady" from Aunt Lin, she was very surprised.
She had never imagined that in the 21st century, there were still people at home openly accepting second and third wives...
This sounds nice, Madam Na, but in fact she is a concubine, a mistress...
It's just a nice name in a big family, and it sounds like it means status, but in fact it means nothing!
There is not even a marriage certificate, and the law does not recognize it.
Because their attention was focused on Mr. Li, Xia Yunxi didn't see the young man's appearance.
Until they walked down and revealed their faces.
Xia Yunxi's eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief, shock... and deep disbelief.
The man who was supporting Mr. Li also noticed her...
He paused, and both of them saw complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
It seems that he didn't expect that they would meet again in a concealed way?
Ye Chengjun's loss of composure only lasted for a moment. The next second, a smile appeared on his face, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not smiling.
Those evil eyes naturally fell on Li Hanting, who was standing opposite Xia Yunxi. He was his nominal "elder brother" and half-brother.
So, he brought Xia Yunxi to today's family dinner. Was he trying to declare his sovereignty?
A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Chengjun's extremely beautiful eyes, and the atmosphere around him also changed.
Old Master Li hadn't noticed anything, nor did he think that the two children had to reconcile just because they were together. On the contrary, he disliked Li Hanting from the bottom of his heart.
If the other party had not used tough means to gain control of the company, Li Hanting would not be able to be so arrogant in front of him today.
Old Master Li was unhappy, but he would not express it. Now that Li Ming was able to come back, the old master wanted to do something big, preferably to take the company back from Li Hanting.
"Brother, long time no see!" Ye Chengjun was the first to greet him, looking very calm and confident, without any tension from before.
