Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Going to the Yan Family

As they approached, the scent of strawberries wafted to their noses.

After placing down the fruit plate, Secretary Li made his exit. Once outside, he let out a breath of relief – he had been tempted to nibble on the strawberries while cutting them.

"This smells quite good, I’ll help myself." Director Tan, eying the strawberries in the fruit plate, promptly picked up a fork and started eating.

The others didn’t give it much thought and began eating as well.

"These are really exceptional. Succulent and sweet, yet it doesn’t just taste sweet. There’s a hint of tartness that makes it tantalizing. Director Tan commented happily after finishing a piece.

Given their status, they had tasted plenty of good food, but they agreed that today’s strawberries were exceptionally delicious, so much so that they had another.

"Indeed, delicious. My wife loves strawberries, and I’ve had many with her. But none were as good as this." Director Min nodded approvingly.

"Yes, juicy and sweet, but not overripe." Director Li also nodded with approval, mouth still full.

"You guys are devouring them all. These were given by my niece." Xia Linyao watched as they continued eating, leaving him with just a few.

The five of them finished the whole fruit plate, and they still wanted more.

"Xiaoyu, how about you wash five more strawberries for us? No need to cut them, just give them to us directly." Director Tan suggested, looking at Xia Yu.

"Get out of here, you shameless lot. There are only a few in a box. We barely have enough for our family." Xia Linyao certainly didn’t want to bring out more strawberries. He had heard from Xia Yu there were several families to share these with.

There were only about ten pieces in one box, and they needed to share them among five families, which meant there wouldn’t be many left.

"Xia, you’re being petty over one strawberry."

"Xia, we have been good friends for many years. Can you really not bear to spare us one strawberry?"

"Xia, you’re too stingy."

The three immediately ganged up on Xia Linyao.

Xia Linyao held his ground, refusing to relent.

In the end, it was Xia Yu who agreed to give them two each when they left. They didn’t have more to spare.

"Dear uncles, it’s not that I don’t want to give more. A box of it needs to be sent to the Yan family. We shouldn’t touch those. So from the remaining four boxes, we have a lot of people in our family. After splitting, everyone can only have about two or three each." Xia Yu quickly explained, seeing the dissatisfaction on their faces.

"The Yan family? What does this have to do with the Yan family?" Xia Linyao’s face hardened as he asked Xia Yu.

The Yan family was not an ordinary family.

Xia Yu then briefly explained that Xia Yue was now working with Yan Mo. He wasn’t clear about the details, just that Xia Yue had been roped into a project that required her participation.

Xia Yue had been asked by Yan Mo to help send these strawberries over, and he was to deliver them to the Yan family.

After hearing what Xia Yu had to say, Xia Linyao was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Then you should send a box to the Yan family first. Deliver the rest to our home later." Xia Linyao instructed Xia Yu.

"Understood, uncle." Xia Yu nodded.

"Alright, give them the strawberries then the three of us will leave. Finish your work then deliver the stuff, okay?" Xia Linyao said to Xia Yu.

"Right." Xia Yu nodded.

He then gave the strawberries to them. After seeing them out, he asked Secretary Li to postpone his appointments for the day. Taking the strawberries with him, he left the company.

Heading towards the Yan family’s residence.

Before leaving though, he checked with Xia Yue again on whether Yan Mo had informed the Yan family.

Xia Yue immediately affirmed upon seeing the message.

Only then did Xia Yu proceed towards the Yan family residence with peace of mind.
