Zhou Du was so sleepy that his eyelids were almost glued together. He hummed twice as a response.
Xia Xi said no more: "Thank you, go back to sleep."
"Wait a minute." After a rustling noise, Zhou Du sat up and slapped his face to wake himself up. "There's no rush to pay the money back. Did something happen to you? Buying a house?"
With such a large sum of money, he felt that he should ask what it was for, so that if she got into any trouble, he would know sooner.
Xia Xi scratched the edge of the dressing table with her nails: "Just think of it as me buying a house."
Zhou Du: "Stop fooling me. What do you mean you're buying a house?"
"Don't ask me, I'm not in any trouble, it's just a small matter." Xia Xi didn't want to talk to him for the time being, "Go to sleep, I'll find you if I really have any trouble. Bye, brother, remember to send me money."

The assistant then came in and poured tea for Xia Xi.
"Chairman Xu, long time no see." Xia Xi acted too calmly, as if he was meeting a friend regardless of age.
Xu Guanshan looked at her as he did when they first met. Her face was still the same, hardly changed, but her temperament had changed a lot. She was less sharp than before and had become mature, steady, sophisticated, and more indifferent.
In a trance, he saw the shadow of Xu Yanfeng in her.
Xia Xi took a sip of hot tea, slowly unfastened the metal buckle of her shoulder bag, pulled out a bank card from the compartment and placed it on the table, then moved her finger over it and moved it in front of Xu Guanshan.
