☆, Chapter 114
Xiu Yangui followed Xi Yicheng at about an arm's length from the side and back. When the bosses and directors came to talk to Xi Yicheng, he acted as a background board, only smiling and nodding.
I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Xi is too famous or because the two of them are too handsome, but many people’s eyes are on them. Xiu Yangui feels that those eyes are directed at him.
At first he didn't know why, but later someone who came to greet him pretended to ask about their relationship casually, asking if they were his son or something like that. Xiu Yangui suddenly heard the conversation of others behind him.
It turns out that many people think that they are father and son, and the father brings his son to support his son who is about to enter society.
Xiu Yangui stood by with his smile unchanged, thinking in his heart, if only Xi Yicheng was really his biological father, then he would be so sunny and cheerful right now.
Xi Yicheng did not deny this, but nodded politely and added gently: "The child at home."
As for the identity of this child, it will be announced later.
The ambiguous words spread in the venue, and Xiu Yangui noticed that many people were looking at him inquiringly, some with good intentions and some with bad intentions. Those who looked at him with disgust probably thought that he was Xi Yicheng's illegitimate son.
Unfortunately, I guessed half right.
He is indeed an illegitimate child, but Xi Yicheng is not his real father, only his fake father.
Unexpectedly, this world is so small that I actually met my real father here.
Xiu Shangzhu looked several years older. There were many fine lines around his peach blossom eyes, and they were obviously drooping. His eyes were not as clear and sharp as before, and his temperament of a profiteer had faded a lot.
It's only been a short while since I last saw him, but I almost couldn't recognize him. They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and he's not a bad father either.
Unless someone tells you, no one can tell that this is his real father.
When Xiu Shangzhu saw Xiu Yangui here, he pulled him over to talk to him without saying a word. His cloudy eyes shone brightly, as if he was very surprised to see his son and loved him very much.
Xiu Yangui didn't want to argue with him in front of everyone and wanted to follow him to the corner.
The fake father stopped them.
I have to say, the fake dad is really handsome.
Although Xi Yicheng is an elegant gentleman, his physique is no worse than Xiu Shangzhu's. He is also self-disciplined and healthy. He has not gained weight in middle age, nor has he lost hair. His back is straight, and he is much better maintained than Xiu Shangzhu in all aspects.
"Mr. Xiu, what do you want to talk to Xiaoyan about?"
Xiu Shangzhu's face was pale, his mouth was slightly open but he couldn't speak. He was no longer President Xiu, Xiu Changle was President Xiu.
After struggling for half a lifetime, he is still "Mr. Xiu" when he returns.
What a blow this must have been to the old man.
"I...he..."
Xiu Yan guessed that Xiu Shangzhu might say that this was his son, and what could happen if he went after his son, but in the end he said nothing because he didn't dare to challenge Xi Yicheng.
Xiu Yangui, secretly delighted, followed Xi Yicheng and moved away from Xiu Shangzhu, who suddenly looked a few years older.
When they reached a place where Xiu Shangzhu could no longer be seen, Xi Yicheng stopped and turned sideways to face Xiu Yangui. Seeing that the young man did not show any negative or sad emotions because of seeing someone he shouldn't have seen, he felt relieved.
"If you don't want to see me in the future, you don't have to."
What a willful sentence, just like a father is always the support of his children and gives them the most solid confidence.
So suddenly, he suddenly had a father.
"Okay, uncle, I understand."
Xi Yicheng looked into Xiu Yangui's eyes, which were filled with brilliant colors without a trace of dullness, and nodded, "Yeah."
Still a child.
After walking around the venue, Ruan Wenwen and Xi Mo were about to arrive. Xi Yicheng was too busy to get away, so he asked Xiu Yangui to go to the door to pick up the mother and daughter.
Ruan Wenwen found her friend at the door and chatted with him. When she saw Xiu Yan coming back, she waved to him, "Xiao Yan."
Xiu Yangui approached and did not see Xi Mo, but he had to stop and greet her, "Auntie, Uncle has something to do, so he asked me to come find you."
"Oh, never mind him," Ruan Wenwen waved her hand and pulled over her most proud and obedient work of the night. "Come, Xiaoyan, this is Madam Chen."
"Hello, Madam Chen."
Mrs. Chen looked at him with a smile and raised her hand to cover her mouth, "Hello, Xiaoyan, oh, so handsome."
"This suit is only suitable for young people to wear."
"Wenwen, you have such a good match. This brooch must have been chosen by you. The ruby is definitely your style."
Hearing someone complimenting Xiu Yangui's outfit, Ruan Wenwen was so happy, "Yes, yes."
Xiu Yangui was well prepared to face the ladies' close scrutiny, and he remained calm and relaxed.
At this time, a wealthy lady also walked over here, "Wenwen, hey? Who is this?"
Mrs. Chen was indeed Ruan Wenwen's best friend. Knowing Xiu Yangui's identity, she said frankly, "Wenwen's son-in-law, he's handsome, isn't he?"
"Ah, son-in-law." The wealthy wife covered her mouth in surprise, then nodded, "Very handsome."
Now the polite smile on Xiu Yangui's face turned into a genuine one. I have to say, that little poem was really enjoyable to listen to.
So cool.
"He's really handsome, even more handsome than the stars my niece likes."
"This is a good outfit, it's a perfect match for a person."
Ruan Wenwen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. There are still many close friends in the world.
But soon, it was the women's special session, and Xiu Yangui could leave on his own. Before leaving, he took the opportunity to ask where Xi Mo was going and got a general direction.
The venue was surrounded by a circular corridor with an eaves. He walked up the stairs and headed in the indicated direction, but was stopped. Xiu Yangui took a step back and did not get close to the girl in the white puffy dress in front of him.
"Hello." The girl looked at him with bright eyes. "Can I add your contact information?"
"You're so handsome."
Xiu Yangui was anxious to find Xi Mo, but he didn't forget the etiquette. "Thank you."
"No, sorry."
After saying that, he walked towards the corridor on the right, and happened to meet Xi Mo who was walking towards him. Without saying a word, he rushed up to her and pulled Xi Mo to hide deeper in the corridor.
"Brother, um."
Poor Xi Mo hadn't finished her words when someone kissed her. Her skin, which was blown by the cool breeze outside, warmed up by the boy's approach.
Xiu Yangui just happened to be blocking the wind, and his hands were burning hot, and the heat was continuously transmitted from the place where he was holding her waist and back.
He gave Xi Mo two seconds to breathe, and then rushed forward eagerly. God knows how long he had been holding it in tonight. In fact, after walking around the hall with Xi Yicheng and facing so many big bosses and industry leaders of all kinds, he still felt nervous as a newcomer.
But Xi Mo is not around, so he feels really insecure. He is a very insecure little boy.
Xi Mo was treated a little harshly, but she didn't get angry. After being together for so long, she could sense some of Xiu Yangui's emotions. She took a deep breath, tilted her head back and kissed his chin.
"Brother looks so handsome tonight."
"Only tonight?"
His eyes were deep, like a bottomless well, and he looked as if he would eat Xi Mo alive if she didn't satisfy him.
"I look handsome every day. I like it very much."
It’s OK, Xiu Yangui nodded, “Yeah.”
Then he came back with a surprise, "You only like my face?"
Xi Mo hid in his arms and answered obediently: "No, I like everything about my brother."
Hearing his heartbeat gradually become steady, Xi Mo took him out of the corner of the corridor. Ruan Wenwen was still chatting happily. She pulled Xi Mo to walk around the aunt again, and then asked them to find their father. Then the two of them went to the hall to find Xi Yicheng.
Ten minutes later, the charity gala began. The host came on stage to introduce the process. Ruan Wenwen also came over. The family of four gathered together and sat on the sofa in the corner to rest, listening to the host read out the representatives of the groups participating in the gala one by one.
The person whose name is called will either raise his hand, stand up and nod, or keep a low profile, but without exception he will be noticed and receive attention from others, which makes it easier for people in the room to find the person they want to talk to.
After the host finished reading out the names of all the present representatives, someone walked towards this corner, "Mr. Xi, Mr. Ruan."
When Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen saw this person, they both stood up and greeted him. It seemed that the couple valued him very much. "Xiaolu."
This person is none other than Xiaoqi's brother Lu Ziqi.
Xi Mo and Xiu Yangui also stood up and stood next to their parents. Lu Ziqi was a little surprised to see his sister's friend here, but he also expected it.
"Momo, Xiaoyan, this is Mr. Lu."
The three of them nodded in a friendly manner as if they were meeting for the first time, and next to Lu Ziqi was a person whom they had also met and had dinner with - Zeng Rong.
He unexpectedly met two children here who had eaten together when traveling in City A. Zeng Rong's originally nervous mood suddenly eased a lot.
Just when Zeng Rong was looking at Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo's faces not too secretly, Xiu Yangui winked at him playfully with his right eye, and Xi Mo also smiled at him.
Zeng Rong couldn't help but feel happy and couldn't hide his smile.
Ruan Wenwen noticed the three people interacting quietly and asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
Zeng Rong, a newcomer in the business world, was actually asked questions by President Ruan. This made him, who was not good at socializing to begin with, even more socially anxious. He stammered, "I, we..."
Xi Mo came to his rescue, "I know him, Mom."
Xiu Yangui also spoke up: "I've had dinner."
"Yes, yes." Zeng Rong smiled stiffly and cast a grateful look at Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo.
"What a coincidence."
The gentle Ruan Wenwen did not bring a strong sense of oppression to the young people in front of her. Their expressions were also a little relaxed, and they were no longer nervous.
Lu Ziqi did not want to use his connections to get close to Mr. Xi and Mr. Ruan, even though this would be more effective, but the upright man decided to rely on his own strength to gain the recognition of the two bosses.
Xi Mo, however, felt that it would be a good thing if her parents could value Lu Ziqi more. After all, Lu Ziqi was talented and capable, and gold should shine early.
He took a step forward and said, "Dad, Mom, Mr. Lu is Xiaoqi's biological brother, and we know him too."
Xi Yicheng was surprised, not to mention Ruan Wenwen. She had seen the photos of them playing together and remembered the cute red-haired girl very clearly. "Xiao Qi, it's the red-haired girl, right?"
Lu Ziqi was a little embarrassed. "Yes, my sister is a bit rebellious and loves beauty very much, but now she has dyed her hair back to black."
"And with the help of Miss Xi and Mr. Xiu, I've started to love learning."
"A long time ago, something happened at home, and it was Miss Xi and Mr. Xiu who helped my sister and me solve it. I have never forgotten it and I am very grateful."
Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen both saw Lu Ziqi's talent. He was considered one of the brightest rising stars in the industry. He also had a clean family background and was an upright person.
They have always wanted to bring Lu Ziqi under their wing, so that even if he doesn't work for them, they can develop a good cooperative relationship.
However, during their previous interactions, they both felt that Lu Ziqi also wanted to cooperate with Cuican Group. Now they think that it was probably because of Xi Mo.
He knew that Xi Mo was their daughter and had done them a favor, so he wanted to repay her in this way.
As a result, Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen admired Lu Ziqi even more, and Lu Ziqi was able to avoid a few years of steep road and realize his ambitions sooner.
This three-month summer vacation was colorful and enjoyable. Even if we don’t show too much excitement or nervousness about the upcoming college life, anticipation and expectation are essential.
Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo do not live on campus. Because their parents are wealthy, they bought an apartment in an upscale community near the school. The house has three bedrooms, but they did not explicitly say that they must have one each, so if Xiu Yangui wanted to, he could come secretly.
As long as you don't act too recklessly, even Xi Yicheng will turn a blind eye. After all, they have been together for so long, and he has a thorough understanding of each other's character, morality and other aspects, and knows them inside and out. What's more, when they are busy with work, it is Xiu Yangui who takes care of his daughter's daily life. The dishes are cooked well and taste good.
The day before the school started at Xinchu University, the parents brought their two children's luggage and a cat to the school district house. The community here has convenient transportation and complete surrounding facilities. It is only fifteen minutes away from the university. The family has a driver, which makes it even more convenient to go to and from school.
The children pack their luggage, and the parents tidy up the house, making every corner more homely, preparing food, drinks, and entertainment. They can also relax on the weekend and invite friends and classmates to come and play.
"Momo, don't study too late, and don't sit in front of the computer all the time. You need to rest and combine work and rest."
Before leaving, Ruan Wenwen took Xi Mo's hand and reminded her that although her daughter looked more like her, she had inherited Xi Yicheng's attitude towards study and work. When she was focused, she would forget everything else and almost neglect food and sleep.
"Xiao Yan, that's right. Young people should go out more often. Momo doesn't like to go out, so don't follow her home. Go play ball, swim, or shoot. It would be a waste if you don't use the membership of those clubs."
After talking about the two children, he glanced at Xi Yicheng unhappily, "You, I really don't want to say it anymore. Momo hasn't even started college yet, and you want to throw your job to her? How do you want your daughter to solve those problems?"
"Don't bother them all the time. They're all college students. It's no big deal if they're a little intimate."
