Chapter 15 Returning from
a business trip In essence, her marriage to He Yichuan was an advantage for her. He Yichuan could allow her to settle down in China for a long time, and his family was so powerful that no one dared to touch her.
Before, the two of them were estranged and could go their separate ways at any time. The contract clearly stated that he was only responsible for lending her a name and power, and it was impossible for him to protect her. Therefore, although she was nominally a member of the He family in her previous life, she was still constantly on missions, helping China obtain information to provide her value, just to seek shelter for her parents when she found them in the future.
Now she has no intention of finding them again, and she no longer needs to worry about the threat of weakness. After all, she is alone and there is no need to be afraid.
Now the relationship between the two has changed. He Yichuan has a strong sense of responsibility, and the He family also intends to publicly acknowledge her. She does not want to go down the road of a lifetime. She just wants to stay in China steadily and live a peaceful life. A man's family background is the best safe haven.
As for how far this relationship will go and how long it will last, she dare not think about it. She can only let it develop naturally. Anyway, she has died once.
She has already paid for the illusory family affection for a lifetime. No matter whether the situation is good or bad in this life, she should consider herself.
Late at night, after her thoughts calmed down, Su Xi went up to the second floor.
On the first floor.
Butler Li has not fallen asleep yet. He is sitting in the courtyard, warming himself by the heating stove and drinking tea.
While drinking, he smacked his lips and sighed: "The young master and young lady are just around the corner. I have to tell the old man to give me some salary."
During the days when He Yichuan was away on business, Su Xi was not idle either. He asked the housekeeper to prepare the information of all the famous families in Beijing, sorted out the connections of each family bit by bit, and quickly memorized the various relationship networks in his mind.
The housekeeper was very happy to receive the task, thinking that the wife was finally going to take it up, and tried his best to prepare. For some more private matters, he even asked the old house to use the old house's connections to find out.
The villa, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to have welcomed its hostess, and it was highly active and full of joy.
For several days, she stayed in the villa, and she felt a little uncomfortable with the comfortable life.
One night, after finishing her work, Su Xi went to He Yichuan's garage, picked up a car at random, and drove out.
Night fell.
The neon lights on the road were intertwined, and the bright snowflakes scattered on the ground. The weather was cold, but there were many pedestrians on the road.
Su Xi casually found a parking space on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked forward slowly. The ground she stepped on was left with traces of deep and shallow traces accompanied by snowflakes.
She found the nearest small shop and walked in.
The owner of the shop and his wife were discussing something, and the owner's children were playing nearby. For a while, no one noticed that someone had entered the shop. The child was sharp-eyed and immediately turned around and shouted to his parents: "Dad, there are guests."
The shop owner stopped talking, turned around, and asked enthusiastically, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"
She was not picky about food, as long as she could fill her stomach, so she ordered a few dishes and a bottle of beer. She had been treated so well by housekeeper Li these days that she almost forgot what barbecue and beer felt like. There were
fewer customers at this time, so the owner brought the dishes quickly.
Su Xi poured herself a beer first, touched the glass with her red lips, took a sip, and then slowly started to eat with her chopsticks.
Here, He Yichuan had just landed in Beijing after a business trip when his good friend Fang Junjie called him, "Brother Chuan, what are you doing, come out for a drink!"
He Yichuan was sitting in the back seat. The assistant in the front seat turned his head to look at him, tapped his chin lightly, and signaled the assistant to let the driver drive: "I just got back from a business trip.
" "Then Brother Chuan, don't go home. Come to my place first, and then we'll go to Ashe for a drink. Anyway, you will have no one to go home with." Fang Junjie muttered a series of words on the phone, and then started to make arrangements: "I'll call Cheng Ke and the other three, and we'll organize a party to welcome you."
After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.
He Yichuan didn't care. He bent his slender fingers and tapped the leather seat. He said to his assistant Xiao Feng, "Take me to Young Master Fang's place. You can send the luggage to Yulong Bay later."
Xiao Feng turned to look at the boss in the back seat. The black suit wrapped the tall and straight figure of the man. His long eyelashes drooped, his facial features were tough, and his temperament was unique.
"Okay, young master."
The man suddenly thought of Su Xi who lived in Yulong Bay. He didn't know what she was doing these days. He went out as soon as he came back without telling her. It seemed not good. Usually, couples in families should have such a process.
But for him to call, their relationship didn't seem to have reached this point yet.
He Yichuan drummed his fingers on his trousers as he thought, "Xiao Feng, when you send my luggage to Yulong Bay, tell my wife that I'll be back later." When
Xiao Feng heard He Yichuan's order, he suddenly turned his head to the back seat. He was shocked, thinking that he had heard wrongly, and asked tentatively, "Young Master, did you just say wife?"
He Yichuan glanced at him. After being with him for so many years, why was he so impatient in doing things? He replied casually, "Yeah."
If Xiao Feng knew what He Yichuan was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. He was with He Yichuan every day, and this man who had never been interested in women suddenly had a wife. Xiao Feng was confused.
"Master, I'm sorry to ask, is our wife real?"
He Yichuan's sharp eyes swept over him without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng turned around, shut his mouth and sat up straight, not daring to say anything else.
Half an hour later, a luxury Maybach stopped in a large courtyard. The courtyard was brightly lit and full of sports cars.
Fang Junjie was test driving the latest luxury sports car in the yard. He saw He Yichuan get out of the car from a distance, stepped on the accelerator and slightly accelerated to drive in front of him.
"Brother Chuan, are we here?"
He Yichuan said "hmm", looked around, and asked expressionlessly, "Are there any others?"
Fang Junjie stepped out of the car, walked around and opened the co-pilot of the sports car, and replied, "Oh, they said they would go directly there and not come to my place. I asked them to come and see my newest pet, but they didn't come."
"What do you think, Brother Chuan, this style and color are all right!" He said while patting the door of the sports car.
"Well, it's not bad." He Yichuan took a look, he was not very interested, and casually perfunctory.
Fang Junjie suggested enthusiastically, "Let's go, get in the car, I'll take you there."
"Well, close the roof."
Fang Junjie was speechless for a moment after hearing his request, but he didn't say anything, after all, He Yichuan usually does this.
At night, the place was full of lights and revelry.
He Yichuan leaned tiredly on the co-pilot seat. He was a little tired from the intense work during the business trip. He asked in a low voice, "Do you have cigarettes?"
