Chapter 283: I'm Also A Good Person (1)

The call ended very quickly. He handed the phone to her in exchange for the clothes. He said softly, “Tomorrow, follow me to go pick her up from the airport then.”

“Okay…” She looked at him and tried to probe.

“It’s Lingshi. She’s a pretty great girl. You’ll probably like her,” he simply said, yet his gaze darkened. He sighed and suddenly stopped in his steps. “Call Ah Mo. Tell him to come home tomorrow night.”

Then, he let go of Xi Xiaye and walked into the villa.

This sudden stifling feeling made Xi Xiaye sad for some reason. As she watched his figure vanish through the door, she sighed. She could only do as he said.

Half an hour later, it was close to noon. Xi Xiaye was planning to cook, but just as she was about to start, Zhou Zimo urgently called Mu Yuchen over.

Xi Xiaye could only just put up with making breakfast.

In the afternoon, the hazy rain outside showed signs of coming to a stop. Since she was free, Xi Xiaye decided to make a trip back to her apartment. There were some things that she still needed to pack up, including certain books that were quite important to her. In fact, she was not living there anymore, she should really tidy it up properly.

…

On this same gloomy afternoon, a luxury black car was driving steadily on the pathway leading to the Linjiang Bridge.

The driver in front was focused on driving. The person in the passenger’s seat beside him was a middle-aged man that looked thin and sly with a pair of sunglasses on. Behind him was the tall and dashing young master of Qi Kai with demonic charm, Qi Lei.

“Master Qi, these are the general details that you had me find out about Xi Xiaye. She’s 27 this year and is the daughter of Mayor Xi Mushan and ex-wife Shen Wenna. Her parents had a divorce since she was young. She used to live with her father, Xi Mushan and used to study in the city center. After the college entrance exam following Xi Mushan’s arrangements, she entered XX military college. Not long after that, because of… she was expelled by the school. After that, she went to Italy. Since she returned, she’s been working in Glory World. She’s a competent subordinate of Vice President Liu.

“Her mother, Shen Wenna, is a professor at University A. Through the current investigations, she and Mu Yuchen should be lovers, but there are rumors that they’re married. I’ll go check it out at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.” The assistant, Yang Sheng, reported to Qi Lei as he handed the information over.

However, before Yang Sheng could finish, Qi Lei had already lifted a hand to stop him. A smile flashed on his handsome face as he reached out to take the information and a light shifted in his eyes. He said softly, “No need. Whether or not they’re married isn’t important to me. I would like to see what a woman he’s interested in is like.”

As he said this, he flipped through the information in his hand. Xi Xiaye’s beautiful face greeted his sight and Qi Lei’s mind immediately flashed to when he bumped into her at the entrance of Imperial Sky. He recalled the way she looked tensed up and alert like a warrior.

He could not help but chuckle. A very interesting woman, was she not?

Linjiang XX Apartment?

Qi Lei examined the information all the way. When he saw these words, he paused and subconsciously looked out of the window. He thought about it, then said, “Take that road ahead. I want to go take a look.”

“Master Qi, the CEO and Madam have asked you to return earlier today. Tonight, Miss Xien Er will be coming over…” Yang Sheng softly and carefully reminded.

The moment Yang Sheng finished, Qi Lei’s handsome face instantly sank. His voice clearly contained unhappiness. “Coming with such zeal! Does she really want to be my stepmother? You tell them that I don’t mind having another one…”

Yang Sheng was rendered speechless by Qi Lei!

Master Qi, that’ s someone the CEO and Madam have found for you, not some stepmother!

…

Inside the Linjiang Apartment, Xi Xiaye tidied up the packed books and put them into a paper bag. Then, she took a cloth out to cover everything up before lugging the heavy bag out of the door.

When she walked out of the apartment, it was already evening. The weather remained gloomy and the rain that had stopped earlier continued again. In fact, it was even heavier than this morning. The chilly wind had become particularly strong. All the plants in the flowerbed started to sway violently.

Xi Xiaye did not bring an umbrella, but she had parked the car by the roadside outside the apartment, so it would only take her three to five minutes to get to it.

Standing downstairs, she looked up and frowned at the hazy weather. In fact, the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Seeing that it was getting darker, she could not care less, so she just carried the bag of items and rushed out into the rain.

When she rushed to the car, her clothes were already damp and her beautiful hair was blown messy by the strong winds, interweaving on her chest like dark clouds.

She quietly unlocked the car and tossed the things into the back seat. Then, she walked around the car to the driver’s seat. Just as she was about to get in, there was suddenly the heavy sound of creaking. She looked up subconsciously and noticed something.

In front of her was an old lady struggling to tread on with her shabby tricycle which was filled with collected junk. Several stray dogs were following the tricycle. Its wheels were stuck in a pothole, and she could not get it out. The dirty water from the pothole kept splattering everywhere. Many people that walked past her kept cursing and moved away to avoid her.

The elderly lady seemed pretty worried as the few stray dogs beside her were anxiously howling. They surrounded the tricycle with their paws on the wheels and wanted to help, but to no avail.

The rain started getting heavier and she was almost completely wet. Still, Xi Xiaye frowned slightly at this scene. Without hesitating, she walked over and reached behind the tricycle. Both her hands held onto the dirty tricycle, and then she helped to push it ahead with all her might…

The tricycle was clearly very heavy. Even when Xi Xiaye had used up all her strength, it was still stuck, and the dirty water that splashed up from the pothole instantly dirtied her clothes.

The wind and rain were getting stronger, and she was drenched.

She tried quite a few times, yet it did not seem to be working. The elderly lady looked grateful yet apologetically at her. She could only smile and nod at her, then she turned to the passersby, planning on asking for someone to help.

At this moment, a large hand suddenly appeared before her. Before she could react, the man already gave the tricycle a hard shove!

The large hand that suddenly appeared startled Xi Xiaye. In fact, she noticed that the rain that fell on her head was suddenly cut off. Her brows then raised and she looked up at the person beside her…
