Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Top Love Brain
"Looking for her?"
Qiao Xi was puzzled. Who would come looking for her at Tianyuan Group, carrying gifts?
"Older sister-in-law, you should go over and see. The receptionist didn’t know, so they arranged for the two to wait in a guest room, but I think they’re not together."
Zhou Yu’s tone was a bit strange, as if he took pleasure from others’ misfortune.
"Who is it exactly?"
Huo Xingzhou asked sternly.
He wouldn’t let Qiao Xi meet just anyone. Who knew what they were planning? She wasn’t only Young Madam Huo now but also the Liu Family’s daughter who had been lost for twenty-two years. He feared that people might try to take advantage of her.
Holding back a smile, Zhou Yu lowered his voice and revealed the names of two people.
Qiao Xi was even more confused, but eventually agreed to go see them first to clear things up.
"Let’s go."
...
Inside the guest room.
A man and a woman sat opposite each other.
Beside the woman lay several designer bags, all of which were the latest releases. Her make-up was heavy, and her attire was meticulous—every piece from designer labels.
Beside the man rested gingko and ginseng, which were premium goods circulating in the market and had cost him a substantial amount of money.
But for a wealthy family, these were considered lesser goods; the really good stuff was no longer circulating in the open market.
"Miss Ye, Manager Qin, please have some tea. Our young madam said she’ll be here shortly," the assistant offered them tea.
Qin Yuan felt a bit awkward and said, "Thank you."
He had staked out the front of Tianyuan Company for two days before he saw Qiao Xi. After their unhappy parting at the Xinyue Pavilion banquet, the projects he handled with Tianyuan Group had been transferred to a colleague.
He was almost on the verge of losing his manager position.
Ye Zhimeng couldn’t help but scoff at his appearance, "Is this what you brought for Qiao Xi? The Huo Family probably has a truckload of this grade of bird’s nest and ginseng."
She hadn’t outgrown her habit of being blunt and indiscriminate in her criticism.
Qin Yuan could tell she was from an uncommon family and didn’t dare to retort.
Fortunately.
Footsteps approached outside the guest room door, and the two stood in unison, preparing to welcome Qiao Xi.
As the door opened, Zhou Yu walked in with Qiao Xi.
Seeing Zhou Yu beside Qiao Xi, Qin Yuan’s face turned unsightly instantly, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He didn’t know if Zhou Yu had heard about the incident that day; surely Mr. Zhou wouldn’t stoop to wooing a mere nurse again?
His girlfriends, which one would be inferior to Shu Xue?
"Qiao Xi!"
Ye Zhimeng ran up warmly, "I finally get to see you. I went to the Huo residence looking for you and Aunt Qian said you were at the company. So I had to come here to find you. Look, all these gifts are for you. Do you like them?"
A row of bags.
It looked like she had spent a lot, likely having sold her own jewelry to raise the funds. The Ye Family had tightened their control over her spending even more, and Madam Ye no longer allowed her to act recklessly.
Qiao Xi took a step back and said, "Miss Ye, we aren’t that close, are we? You should take these bags back."
"Qiao Xi, these are my apologies. A simple apology seemed insincere. I truly hope you can forgive me."
Ye Zhimeng pleaded, "You don’t like Xiang Mingzhu, right? I’ve already had Aunt drive her out of the Ye Family. She’s a distant relative and still wanted to cling to our family."
No wonder Xiang Mingzhu had moved to a hotel.
"Miss Ye, I guess you’re trying to please me because of my background." Qiao Xi figured it out, "I am indeed Xu Xiuyuan’s sister by blood, but we don’t have a good relationship. If you like Xiuyuan, you should pursue him yourself and not waste time on me."
Ye Zhimeng said anxiously, "But Xiuyuan won’t like me, unless I can mend the bond between you siblings. Qiao Xi, please, seeing how miserable I am, help me out?"
"He’s just another hopeless romantic."
Zhou Yu teased, "Those photos of you trending on social media were all orchestrated by Xu Xiuyuan. And you still hope he could like you? Sister, are you out of your mind?"
"I... I can understand that Xiuyuan did it to get back at Qiao Xi for me."
Qiao Xi looked at her, truly exasperated.
Ye Zhimeng was like clingy plaster, not understanding human language.
But when dealing with someone obsessed with love, you should go along with their thought process.
Qiao Xi warned, "Ye Zhimeng, if you keep bothering me, I’ll call Xu Xiuyuan and make him ignore you forever."
The threat was very effective.
Ye Zhimeng looked utterly devastated.
"Mr. Zhou, could you please help her carry these bags and see her out of the company?"
"Sure."
Carrying the bags, Zhou Yu said, "Come on, sister, let’s go. I’m excellent at chasing people. Walk with me now, and I’ll teach you a few tricks."
"Really?" Ye Zhimeng looked at him.
"Guaranteed." Zhou Yu confidently said.
Without further ado, Ye Zhimeng followed Zhou Yu. She began asking him in the corridor how she could win over Xu Xiuyuan, clearly aware of Zhou Yu’s notorious reputation.
Zhou Yu generously shared tips, "Xu Xiuyuan is serious, but which man his age doesn’t have needs? Just go to his hospital and cling to him desperately, solidifying your title. Better yet, find an opportunity to make it a done deal. "
Ye Zhimeng sounded disappointed, "I’ve done all that, and he even banned me from the hospital. The security will chase me away."
"Then wait right outside the hospital! You’re doing it wrong; you should learn from the ’green tea’ girls. Be gentler in dressing and manner, crafting the image of a perfect wife and mother, showing undying concern for Xu Xiuyuan without expecting anything in return. Even a stone will warm up over time."
"Really?"
"Truer than 24-karat gold!"
"OK! I’ll listen to you." Ye Zhimeng clenched her teeth, full of fighting spirit.
Zhou Yu handed her the bags, "Hurry up then, and remember not to dress like a peacock. Green tea types are subtle yet sophisticated."
"Got it," she said.
Zhou Yu pressed the elevator button for her and watched her leave.
He chuckled to himself, disliking Xu Xiuyuan’s priggish demeanor, thinking sending Ye Zhimeng to torment him was a fitting resolution!
...
Meanwhile,
Qin Yuan looked at Qiao Xi sheepishly, "Young Madam Huo, I came to apologize. My mother misspoke last time and offended you. Please don’t take it to heart; she didn’t mean it."
Qiao Xi looked at Qin Yuan, formally dressed and dignified, and could hardly believe his family still harbored such feudal thoughts.
And he was a hypocrite.
His mother had been so harsh on Shu Xue, surely with his approval!
A family that excelled in putting others down.
"Qin Yuan, if it was unintentional, was it an accident then? No one forced her when she cursed Shu Xue and me."
Those words were too unpleasant!
Qiao Xi’s expression turned cold, "Qin Yuan, if you mind that Shu Xue had a boyfriend before, you could have mentioned it from the start. I knew about Shu Xue and Zhou Yu, but once she decided to be with you, she had already cut ties with him. It was all..."
"It was all me clinging desperately."
Zhou Yu, having sent Ye Zhimeng away, entered the room and spoke up.
