Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Blind Date
Finally, Yu Sixie asked, "What are you going to do about the funding?"
It is simply a fantasy for Xitong to get so much money in such a short time.
Even he found it difficult to do so.
Yu Sixie had heard various rumors about Xi Tong over the years, but this was the first time he felt the pressure she faced so directly.
In the conference room, the middle-aged and elderly men who were teasing Xi Tong were also staring at her face and body with ill intentions.
They are all birds of a feather.
The pen in his hand was put down and Yu Sixie frowned.
He might be the person in the world who least believes that Xitong would rely on sleeping to get to the top. After all, when she was in the most difficult times, she didn't even want his money as her boyfriend.
He couldn't imagine how much effort she had put in to get to where she was now.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu."
It's her own business.
Apart from the medical cooperation that required the help of Lihe Group, she didn't want to have any other unnecessary interactions with Yu Sixie.
After confirming the content of the work, Xitong planned to go for lunch, but Yu Sixie showed no intention of leaving.
She suddenly remembered to ask for the address.
"What's up?"
Yu Sixie keenly sensed Xi Tong's hesitant gaze.
He turned towards Xitong, his long legs tightly wrapped in perfectly tailored suit pants.
Xi Tong rarely looked down at Yu Sixie. He was much taller than her, and even liked to lie on top of her in bed.
The people in the upper positions are the dominant ones.
In so many lovemaking sessions, it seemed like she had never been on top once.
If it were the Xitong of the past, she wouldn’t have thought about these things. She would have liked whatever he liked.
But now Xitong thinks it’s such a pity.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable for her to be on top and control the speed and depth herself?
Looking at Yu Sixie from the perspective of a superior, he looks especially like Xiaozhi.
Eyebrows, eyes, nose, chin.
Even the look of contempt, thinness and pride on his face disappeared.
Normally, she would deceive herself and not admit that Xiaozhi looked like Yu Sixie, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she was speechless.
Xitong looked away.
She must never let Yu Sixie discover Xiaozhi's existence.
Her ex-boyfriend seems to be quite normal now, and does not hold a grudge against her for their sudden breakup.
But if he knew that she had left her father behind and kept her son, he would definitely kill her.
Xitong has always loved to play such jokes, and every time Yu Sixie would severely "educate" her in bed.
Memories of their four-year relationship began to flood back. She didn't want to live under the same roof with him, so she pretended to be hurried and said, "I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first. Where are you living now? I have some information for you, and I'll have my secretary deliver it to you."
"Send it to the company."
He doesn't often work from home and is basically in the company all year round.
Xitong immediately refused, "Let's send it home! This information needs to be kept strictly confidential, it's safer to read it at home."
Xitong wanted to slap herself hard. What was she saying?
It was rare to see Xi Tong panicking after the reunion, and Yu Sixie couldn't help but think of the past. "Well, then let's send her home."
Xi Tong breathed a sigh of relief after getting the address, and she immediately sent a message to Su Luyao.
【Live in Riverside Apartments.】
A top-notch community that is extremely expensive.
He is completely different from his sentimental neighbor who would rather sell his house than pay a fortune. How could the group's young master be interested in a place like Mulan Garden?
Xitong forgot what Yu Sixie had said to her.
"Then I'll also buy a house in Mulan Garden. Wherever you live, I'll live there too."
…
Xitong and Zhou Haoyu agreed to meet at an Italian restaurant in Baishuizhou Park.
Baishuizhou Park is right next to Mulan Garden, which is convenient for both of them.
This Italian restaurant is hidden in the corner of the street. Warm yellow light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows. On the small blackboard at the door, "Today's Special Tiramisu" is written crookedly in chalk.
On each wooden table stood a squat glass candlestick, with wax piled up like a small mountain at the mouth of the bottle.
Xitong and Zhou Haoyu sat by the window. The waiter, a young Italian man with pigtails, winked as he handed them the menu. "Today's seafood pasta is amazing."
The couple at the next table were sharing lasagna, the cheese pulling out long strings.
Xitong lowered her head and pretended to study the wine list. She had no idea what to say. It was so embarrassing.
When she arrived, Zhou Haoyu had already arrived.
He was wearing a light blue polo shirt, his hair covering his forehead, and a pair of black-framed glasses. At first glance, he looked somewhat similar to Yu Sixie.
It was completely different from what Xitong remembered.
She still remembers the nickname her classmates gave her:
Little Fatty.
Zhou Haoyu was also stunned when he saw Xitong. She was even prettier than when she was a child.
The youthfulness of the past has completely faded away.
Now she is like a gem that has finally been polished into shape, noble and beautiful.
There were many people in the class who liked Xitong before, and Zhou Haoyu was one of them, but he also knew that there was no chance and Xitong would never fall in love with him.
At that time, the boys in the class all flattered him because he was Xitong's deskmate, and asked him to help them pass notes and gifts.
No one considered him a "competitor" and he was directly excluded from the competition.
When Zhou Haoyu learned that Xitong wanted to ask him out, and in the name of a "blind date", he couldn't believe his eyes.
When the background music "Suzhou River" started playing, Zhou Haoyu suddenly said, "How about...we order a pizza for two? And an order of the recommended pasta?"
The fire in the oven crackled, and Xitong discovered that the tips of his ears were as red as the charcoal in the oven.
"good."
She smiled slightly.
Maybe it was because Xitong smiled like she did when she was a child, Zhou Haoyu felt a little relaxed. She was his deskmate and they had a lot to talk about.
This gem is not out of reach.
Thanks to the intimacy Zhou Haoyu developed from years of experience as a primary school teacher, the entire dinner was relaxing and enjoyable.
Most of the time he was the one talking and Xitong was the one listening.
Very similar to the way she gets along with her grandmother.
Night quickly fell upon the earth, and the lights of the row of bars across the river came on.
When Yu Sixie saw Xi Tong, she was chatting happily with Zhou Haoyu, and the sparkling earrings on her ears swayed, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
It’s a bit stuffy at home at night. Mulan Garden is an old neighborhood, and no matter how it is decorated, it’s not as comfortable as the Riverside Apartment.
He simply changed his clothes and went out for a run, but unexpectedly he ran into her on a blind date.
This was also the first time Yu Sixie saw Xi Tong talking to another man alone.
His hands clenched unconsciously, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
When they were in a long-distance relationship, Xitong would tell a boy if he asked for her WeChat ID or was pursuing her.
Later, because they were in different places and couldn't see each other often, Xitong began to show signs of wanting to break up. He asked Xitong if she already had someone around who could accompany her and take care of her.
Xitong took a few minutes to reply.
She said she could have it anytime if she wanted.
He had felt from the beginning that one day they would break up.
She wants someone who can be by her side at all times.
Yu Sixie seven years ago couldn’t give it.
He took a deep breath and ran out of the Italian restaurant on the corner, his ears filled with the laughter of couples.
"Haoyu, there is something I must make clear to you."
Xi Tong interrupted Zhou Haoyu. He was talking too fast and she couldn't hear him at all.
She confirmed that she didn't have any particularly strong desire for him, but she didn't reject him either.
After a busy day, Xitong just wants to go home and rest. Su Luyao and Xiaozhi should probably be back by now.
The WeChat chat box on the phone placed aside was full of photos of Xiaozhi that Su Luyao sent her.
They went to Jingshan for fun today.
Xizhi always has a stern face in every photo. The older he gets, the less he likes to smile, and... the more he looks like Yu Sixie.
"I have a child who is in the first grade at your elementary school. Maybe you will know him. His name is Xizhi."
Xi Tong didn't give Zhou Haoyu any room to react and said it directly.
"you……"
The person who was talking excitedly just now froze and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xitong had expected this scene. She wiped her hands, and the ring on her index finger glowed with a faint green light.
This was the last gift her mother bought her. Later, she died.
He jumped from the eighth floor along with his gambling-addicted father.
It is said that they did not die immediately, but died after failed rescue efforts in the hospital.
Zhou Haoyu asked dejectedly, "Have you ever been married?"
Xitong said calmly, "No."
"So what is this?"
The words "unmarried and having a child" were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter them. She was so beautiful, and this child... The melodramatic stories about wealthy families that he had read on WeChat news accounts came flooding back to his mind.
Xi Tong didn't say anything else and paid the bill first despite Zhou Haoyu's attempt to stop her.
She is the president of the group and he is an elementary school teacher. Their incomes are so different that there is no reason for him to get married.
Besides, it looks like they won’t be able to follow up.
After leaving the restaurant where love songs had been playing non-stop, Xitong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Baishuizhou Park was beautiful at night, with a constant stream of people jogging and exercising.
Spring has arrived, the temperature has warmed up, and more people are starting to exercise.
Surrounded by the vibrant crowd, she felt that the busy day had finally come to an end.
It's good to live alone.
Sometimes it’s more tiring when two people are together.
When passing by the bar, Xitong wanted to go in for a drink, but Su Luyao was already urging her to go home.
…
At the same time, Baishuizhou Tianfu Club.
Qiu Xiao didn't like to go out for a drink at night, but since he hadn't seen Yu Sixie for almost a year, he put down the game in his hand.
But when he arrived at the box and saw that several bottles of wine worth tens of thousands of yuan had already been opened, he regretted it.
Shouldn't have come out.
Qiu Xiao, like Yu Ziche, has always lived in W City, and he met Yu Sixie because of his parents.
But he is different from the idle rich second generation Yu Ziche. He is a real academic master who was admitted to Tsinghua University with a score of 710 in the college entrance examination.
Although he has the halo of a rich second-generation and a top student, his attributes as a serious otaku and his rebellious nature have made him still single.
"Tell me, what's wrong with you? Is your aunt urging you to get married again?"
Qiu Xiao couldn't think of anything that could bother Yu Sixie.
"I saw Xitong."
"Who?" Qiu Xiao widened his eyes.
"Xi, Tong."
Yu Sixie repeated it word by word, scrolling through Xiaohongshu in his hand.
"No! What are you watching all day? You still have the mind to watch it at this time..."
Qiu Xiao stretched out his arm and snatched Yu Sixie's phone. After seeing the pictures in the phone, he was instantly petrified.
He pointed in disbelief at the photos of a little boy on the mountain on his phone. "Is this your child? He looks exactly like you! Even cloning couldn't make him look this similar!"
"Yeah, I wish this was really my child..."
The drunk Yu Sixie's eyes were blurry, without the coldness and dignity he had during the day, and what was left was loneliness and confusion.
Qiu Xiao clicked on the blogger’s homepage and found that the IP address was in W City.
"Honestly, bro, forget about your ex-girlfriend and go find this child first! Maybe this child is really yours from some other woman. If you take the child back and give it to your aunt, you'll never have any worries in your life."
Yu Sixie couldn't hear what Qiu Xiao was saying at all.
All he could think about was Xitong going on a blind date with another man. It's been seven years, so why was he still brooding over it?
She didn't want him.
Yu Sixie took back his phone and looked at the child's photos again. The only thing that brought him happiness in these years was this internet celebrity child.
Looking at him, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
When he laughed, he laughed along unconsciously.
"If this is really my child, the biological mother can only be Xitong."
"But," Yu Sixie's eyes darkened, "the only thing is that she can't give birth to a child for me."
Xitong doesn't like children.
She said she would not have a child for a man.
Later, she broke up with him, a very decisive breakup.
At this moment, the heroine they were talking about sent two pictures.
Qiu Xiao, who was sitting nearby, said excitedly, "You two are really in touch? Bro, you didn't say you'd never contact each other again after breaking up. Now, after seven years, you've been slapped in the face."
Yu Sixie didn't bother to pay attention to Qiu Xiao and opened the chat box. He had just added Xi Tong's contact information that morning.
One picture is a screenshot of hundreds of millions of dollars in deposits.
The other one is a screenshot from the work group. Judging from the avatars, most of them are the directors who ridiculed Xi Tong in the morning. Now they have all shut up and given thumbs up.
[The funding issue has been resolved, Mr. Yu, please rest assured.]
Another message came from the other side.
Qiu Xiao fell silent as he stared at the countless zeros on the screen. His family was wealthy, but not as wealthy as Xi Tong alone, at least not in terms of cash flow.
Qiu Xiao had also heard some rumors about Xi Tong.
To be honest, he could understand Yu Sixie's distress. His miserable girlfriend, whose parents had both passed away and who was burdened with a huge debt, suddenly transformed into an elite with a net worth of at least tens of billions after abandoning him. The level of her success could no longer be described as meteoric rise.
This would be uncomfortable for anyone.
Qiu Xiao patted Yu Sixie's shoulder to comfort him.
Yu Sixie: “…”
…
Xitong, who was on her way home, received money transferred from overseas. She didn't expect to get her money back so quickly, and she didn't expect the other party to transfer the cash to her so readily.
I have to say that her love life may be a bit bumpy, but in other aspects, she really lives up to the fortune teller's words and has the physique of a real koi fish.
The directors who had been talking behind her back in the morning were now messaging her privately, asking if they could borrow some money.
Xitong rolled her eyes and put her phone into her bag.
Passing by the garden of Magnolia Garden, I saw several old ladies sitting together chatting.
"The young man Yidong is finally back. Our son Nao Nao misses him every day."
"Old Chen, who is this young man? My wife said the supplements he sent cost more than his monthly pension."
"I'm not sure about that. His assistant seemed to have mentioned it, saying that he was the young master of Haicheng or Lihe, a well-known group in our city."
"Why would the group's young master be willing to live in an old, dilapidated house like ours?"
“There are not many rich people in our neighborhood.”
"Then I don't know. Maybe I misheard it. Or maybe my ears don't work well at my age."
"I think you've been listening to too many novels and are confused."
Xitong, who was passing by, froze in place after hearing this conversation.
The person living in Building 1 is Yu Sixie?
