Chapter 35 Chapter 35 The Truth
Lihe Group's branch is located in the most prosperous area of Beijing. The entire building does not adopt the common modern blue high-rise design, but chooses to incorporate traditional architectural style.
A building resembling an ancient palace rises from the ground. Although it is only one building and is not very tall, it covers a large area and stands out against the backdrop of a number of tall buildings.
Even Xitong was stunned when he saw the building where Lihe Group was located.
In order to avoid any intersection with Yu Sixie, she deliberately avoided any interaction with the Lihe Group, but she had heard of the uniqueness of this building many times.
I finally saw it today.
Xitong followed Yu Ping from the dedicated elevator straight up to the office. There was a protruding extension platform outside the office, where Yu Ping introduced the company's operations and planning to Xitong.
Xitong was moved by the old man's unreserved sharing. She could feel that Yu Ping really treated her as a family member.
"Xitong."
During this conversation, Yu Ping did not call her President Xi, but called her by her name.
Xitong keenly sensed the change of topic, and at this moment, the secretary brought two cups of steaming coffee.
The light aroma of coffee makes your tense nerves relax unconsciously.
Perhaps because of the emotion she felt earlier, Xitong relaxed her guard against Yu Ping's next words.
Yu Ping persuaded her to marry Yu Sixie and move to Beijing to live together. As for her career, perhaps she could consider expanding the company's territory, just like the Lihe Group did back then. While it would be difficult, the Lihe Group would definitely help them during this period...
After Yu Ping left, Liu Xitong was left alone to visit the private office he still kept in the company.
Move to Beijing? Impossible. She wouldn't give up her original life for a man.
Standing in front of a wall of bookshelves, Xitong's fingertips ran across the thick folders on the bookshelf. The name of the project was affixed to the bottom of each folder with a sticky note, and the folders contained core information.
Although the projects left in Yu Ping's office are all completed projects, these materials are crucial for a company.
If it is accidentally leaked, it may even be a matter of life and death.
Yu Ping really treats her as a family member.
Just as Xitong was about to leave, a familiar name on the bookshelf caught her attention.
This is an extremely old folder, the edges have turned white from being opened so many times, the sticky notes stuck on the corners are yellowed, and the words on them are blurred for some reason.
There was an unknown red liquid on the white sticky note, which made people feel creepy bit by bit.
"Haicheng...Company."
Xitong read out the words on the note in disbelief.
Although she knew she couldn't move, she couldn't help but pull out the old folder. The secretary outside the glass window didn't stop Xitong because of Mr. Yu's instructions, and let her look through the documents.
But he also looked at Xi Tong unconsciously, wondering who on earth could make the always strict and cautious boss so confident.
“Tear—”
Just as Xitong opened the folder, the special elevator door to the top floor opened. Yu Sixie unconsciously smiled with a bouquet of light pink flowers in his hand.
Today is the first day he pursues her.
The white wrapping paper blends perfectly with the pink and white flowers, and the packaging is fitted with a strap-like design, just like the part of a ballet shoe wrapped around a dancer's foot.
"Hello, President Yu."
The secretary bowed and showed even more respect to Xi Tong in the office. This young lady was really making both the father and son eat her to death.
"Xi Guoping."
Xitong felt her voice was unfamiliar, and it seemed like she had only pronounced this name in the last century. Because her father was unreliable, Xitong had never liked calling him "Dad" and had always called him by his first name.
Has Haicheng ever cooperated with Lihe?
She continued to look through the contents of the document. The cooperation started two years before her father's death. It involved not only Haicheng, but also another very famous venture capital company.
Xitong suddenly remembered some strange things.
My father jumped off a building and died due to debt, but because he was "eloquent", he always maintained a delicate balance with his creditors. During that time, I never heard my mother complain about my father getting involved in any big gambling game again.
During that time, they were all well-behaved and at most played cards with relatives and friends.
Holding a thick stack of documents, Xitong's fingers turned white from the exertion. If it wasn't a loss from a bet, then it must be a business problem.
When Yu Sixie opened the door, she saw Xi Tong standing in front of the bookshelf with a serious expression on her face. She was biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
A corner of my heart collapsed.
The beautiful flowers fell to the ground, and the white and pink petals were scattered all over the ground.
Xi Tong didn't notice Yu Sixie walking into the room at all. Her eyes were all focused on the densely packed records in the file. The more she looked, the more she couldn't believe her eyes.
Her lips trembled slightly, and when she saw that the result of this transaction was that her parents asked her to leave her a sum of money, Xitong finally couldn't help crying.
The white paper was spread out on the large rosewood table. She squatted down weakly and buried her face in her knees.
"Xitong..."
Yu Sixie, who was standing behind her, had his hands spread out helplessly. He wanted to hug her, but he didn't dare.
All those carefully prepared methods of how to let her know were meaningless. The ending happened unexpectedly, and now he could only accept her judgment.
How will she face the child of the enemy who caused the death of her parents?
Xi Tong didn't know how she got back to Yu Sixie's room. She curled up on the bed and didn't eat lunch or dinner.
Xizhi and Su Luyao also knew about this at the first time. For a while, the Yu family, which was always quite lively, fell into a strange silence. The housekeeper and the staff in the villa all consciously did things carefully.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping ended his social engagements early and hurried home.
…
Villa lobby.
The five people except Xi Tong sat quietly. After listening to Yu Sixie's simple explanation, Su Luyao was unable to react for a long time. Xi Zhi, who was sitting next to her, also remained silent.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xizhi suddenly stood up. He didn't even glance at the Yu family, his eyes full of heartache for his mother, "Yaoyao, let's take Mom home."
"good."
Su Luyao was led by Xizhi towards the gate leading to the backyard. The child's steps were so big that she, a 1.6-meter-tall adult, had to speed up to keep up with him. The wind blowing through the hall made her shiver uncontrollably. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Just as they walked into the backyard, Yu Sixie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly appeared in front of them. His hair, which was always neatly combed with hairspray, was now messy, with a few clumps falling on his forehead, and blue stubble appeared on his chin and lips.
The tall man stood in front of them, and the wind made him look a little thin.
Xitong has no parents, Su Luyao and Xizhi are her relatives.
"Wait for me a little longer, okay? I'll take care of it."
…
In Yu Sixie's room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were wide open, the curtains blown out by the strong wind like a demon with bared fangs and claws. In early summer in Beijing, the temperature difference between day and night was large, and the temperature plummeted at night, filling the open windowed room with a chill.
Xitong curled up on the sofa, her legs bent in front of her, hugging herself tightly. She didn't feel the cold at all, her mind was full of thoughts about her parents.
What Yu's father said that morning was not a slip of the tongue at all, but the truth. The huge sum of money she received was earned by her parents' death. Although it was ridiculous, at this moment, she truly felt the love her parents had for her.
“Dongdongdong——”
“Dongdongdong——”
When Yu Sixie counted to the fiftieth time in his heart, the door still did not open. The anxiety and worry in his heart overwhelmed his respect for Xi Tong's current condition. He was afraid that she would do something stupid.
He pushed open the door, but there was no one in the dark room. The bed, the sofa, the chairs, the entire room was empty.
"Xitong?"
Yu Sixie's voice trembled unconsciously. He pushed open the door of the independent bathroom in the room like a madman, and opened all the cabinets on the wall where people might be hidden... In the end, only the balcony covered by the curtains was left.
The windowsill was right in front of him, and he only needed to reach out to open the curtains, but he couldn't do it. He was afraid that he would see her jump down from the windowsill, and he was even more afraid of seeing her lying on the first floor.
"Yeah... I understand."
"Grandma, you should rest early too. I'm fine, yes."
A familiar voice coming from outside the window sill brought Yu Sixie back to his senses. He pulled aside the curtains and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window. A gust of cold wind instantly engulfed him. Xi Tong, wearing a white silk suspender dress, was standing barefoot by the railing. She had her back to him and had just finished a call with the phone still held to her ear.
"ah--"
A warm and strong arm held her tightly in the embrace, and Xitong felt as if her internal organs were about to be crushed.
The man's voice was hoarse. "You can hit me, scold me, or leave if you want. Just don't hurt yourself, okay?"
The warmth from Yu Sixie's body gradually warmed up Xitong's body, which had been chilled by the evening breeze. Only then did she realize that she had been standing on the windowsill for a long time, and only the cold wind could calm her down.
"You think I want to die?"
"Um."
The sobbing tone in the man's voice betrayed him.
"ah?"
Xitong asked in disbelief. The more she thought about it, the funnier it became. She was trembling all over. "Am I a child? Would I commit suicide over something like this? Come on, I have billions of dollars and I can enjoy life so much. If I die, what will I do with all this money?"
"I got the advantage of Xizhi for nothing. He's a very evil kid. Every time he asks for money, he acts like a spoiled brat and acts cute."
Xitong's whispering words finally allowed Yu Sixie to breathe a sigh of relief. He picked her up and carried her horizontally on the bed. He pressed his whole body on her and buried his face in her neck and shoulders.
"I'm really scared..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Xi Tong put her arm around Yu Sixie's back and patted him gently. Her voice was normal, but her eyes were red as she looked at the ceiling, tears filling her eye sockets. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from making any sound.
"I'm afraid you'll leave me forever."
The man's hot breath sprayed on her neck, and his soft lips sucked every inch of her skin.
Xitong suppressed her tears and said, "Fool."
