Chapter 189: Meeting The Right Person (1)

When she saw that he had already started the car, Xi Xiaye was startled for a moment. Then, she got in too.

“Are you still working in the afternoon then? Or are you going to accompany Grandmother and I to shop?” She peered down at his long fingers helping her to put the safety belt on as she asked.

“Later, Li Si will come over to fetch me. I still have to make a trip to the city council in the afternoon, so I won’t be with you guys,” he softly answered before handing his phone to Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye knowingly took his phone and switched it on. Indeed, the phone was going to be out of battery soon, so she found a cable from the storage drawer to charge it.

“Is it about the South River project?” Xi Xiaye asked as she leaned her head on her hand.

“No, it’s about Car City. We’re planning to import a batch of new cars, so we need to sign some documents. At the same time, I’ll visit some friends. Su Chen’s Traffic Control Bureau is right there,” he answered softly, then turned to see that her beautiful face looked faintly worn out. Her twinkling eyes were absent-minded too. Chuckling, he reached over to hold her by the shoulders, letting her lean on his shoulder. “Last night, we barely did much and already you’re this tired. You need to train this body of yours more.”

When he said this, it immediately provoked Xiaye’s cold glare. Subsequently, he clammed up, but the curve on his thin lips widened.

The car stopped steadily outside the Shen residence. By then, Xi Xiaye was leaning on his shoulder and sleeping soundly until Mu Yuchen had to wake her up. She woke up from her sleep in a daze. Although she had only slept for a short while, her spirits were much better now.

Before Xi Xiaye went home, she had called the Shen residence, so when they entered, Shen Wenna and the rest had already prepared the dishes.

University A would only re-open after the fifteenth of the first month of the lunar year, so right now it was still a holiday and she was free.

Shen Yue knew that the husband and wife were coming back, so he had obviously rushed home from work for the meal too.

“Mother, Su Nan and Ruan Heng are organizing their wedding at Imperial Sky Hotel on the fifteenth. Do you want to come? You and Uncle Su are good friends too. I’m sure Uncle Su will send you an invitation,” asked Xi Xiaye as she stood up to serve Shen Wenna soup.

When she heard this, Shen Wenna hesitated for a moment, then she nodded. “Naturally, this is inevitable. Last year, when Nan Nan went to school, she came over to my office to visit too. It is indeed lovely to see her and Ruan Heng’s relationship become a fruitful one.”

Shen Wenna and Su Nan’s parents were quite close. In fact, she also knew that Su Nan was her daughter, Xiaye’s best friend, so she adored her too.

“Then, we’ll just come over to pick you up on that day. Grandpa, do you want to come along as well?”

Xi Xiaye put the bowl of soup down before Shen Wenna, and then started serving another bowl for Mu Yuchen who was speaking to Shen Yue.

“Such lively events are for you young people. I don’t think this old man will join in the fun. But Ah Chen’s not going with you guys. He’s going to play golf with me. Coincidentally, I have some old friends coming over and I want them to meet my grandson-in-law. Let them know that I, Shen Yue, have a good fortune like them too.”

As Shen Yue said this, he held up his glass and clinked it with Mu Yuchen before drinking it.

One could tell that he was in a pretty jovial mood. This time upon returning, they could see that he was smiling widely. Compared to before, he was much happier now.

Even on Shen Wenna’s cold face, there would occasionally be a smile.

Of course, Xi Xiaye knew very well that she had to credit all of this to the man beside her. If it were not for him, she would not be sitting around and feeling this relaxed as she did right now.

“Ah Chen, has Glory World thought of expanding into estate and construction?”

Shen Yue downed the drink in his glass, then he suddenly turned to Mu Yuchen and asked thoughtfully.

“There are many industries under Glory World, but the estate and construction industry is on hold for now,” Mu Yuchen answered simply.

“You guys can learn more about it in the next few years. I’m old and while I’m still quite healthy now, I can hold on for a few more years. In another few more years, no matter what, it’ll be time for me to step back. I don’t have a son. Your grandma only had your mother while your mother only has one daughter. Xiaye, all of these mere worldly possessions of mine will naturally be left to you two.”

When Shen Yue said all of this, his tone was a little heavy. “Initially, if you two hadn’t gotten married, I wasn’t planning on letting Xiaye stay on with Glory World either. Instead, I was planning on letting her further studies abroad or stay by my side and get familiarized with Fuhua with me. Then, in another year or two, I’d let her take over Fuhua… Now, since you two are married, all these will be up to you two to discuss. Your mother’s just an academician, so she doesn’t quite understand all of this…”

Shen Yue was a pretty optimistic person, so when he said all of this, Xi Xiaye could not help but worry.

She slowly looked up at Shen Yue who was already snowy-haired and she suddenly felt her heart faintly tug.

It seemed as if she had never tried to understand Shen Yue, while he had never demanded anything from her. Perhaps it was because what happened with Shen Wenna had been too traumatizing for him, so what he wanted to see the most was the children living a carefree and happy life.

Mu Yuchen’s hand that was under the table suddenly reached over to gently hold her cold hand that was on her knee as he answered Shen Yue in a lowered voice, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. We will do our best to take on whatever that we should.”

Xi Xiaye could tell that Shen Yue was really quite satisfied with Mu Yuchen. After marrying him, she felt that she had been living pretty comfortably, while Grandpa and Mother were quite happy, and the Mu family had been really kind to her too…

Was this not everything that she had been pursuing?

After lunch, Mu Yuchen accompanied Shen Yue in the living room to drink tea and chat on the sofa while Xiaye accompanied Shen Wenna to sort out the plants in the backyard.

Shen Wenna did not have many hobbies. Whenever she was free, she liked to work on the plants, so the Shen residence backyard was filled with a lot of rare plants.

The plum blossom forest in the backyard was fluttering in the cold breeze akin to snow falling from the sky. She inhaled the cool fragrance as Xi Xiaye walked through the blossoming trees with flowers that fluttered and scattered all around. Soon, she saw the end of the corridor where Shen Wenna was watering the potted flowers.

Watching the busy Shen Wenna from the top of the staircase made Xi Xiaye get momentarily misty-eyed as she watched her frail figure. Many of the things she wanted to say had reached the tip of her tongue, yet she did not know how to start.

Only until Shen Wenna suddenly looked up at her did she return to her senses…

“If there’s anything you want to say, just say it. We mother and daughter don’t need to be this courteous,” Shen Wenna just said, her tone rather gentle and calm.
