Chapter 664 - 651
"President."
Qin Mengshu saw Helian Si coming in and quickly stood up with a smile, her hands held in front of her, smiling with grace and confidence.
Helian Si nodded slightly, "Sit down."
"Yes." Qin Mengshu handled the situation well, not putting on airs because of the arranged meeting.
Considering her appearance and knowledge, objectively speaking, Helian Si really couldn’t find any fault with her.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Helian Si made up his mind.
"Meng Shu, may I call you that?" Helian Si sipped his coffee lightly, his voice deep and slightly hoarse, so pleasant it could make ears swoon.
Qin Mengshu’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly, nodding in a daze, "Certainly."
"Alright." Helian Si nodded, "You can call me Ah Si. My family calls me that, and since we’re in an arranged meeting situation... let’s not keep addressing each other as President this and President that."
"..."
Even though Qin Mengshu underwent standardized socialite training, she was stunned upon hearing this.
Before the meeting, her family had warned her that Helian Si was cold and distant, unsure if he had some flaw. He had been in office for five years without any women around him. This arranged meeting was pressured by Helian Shuang.
Her family merely advised her to behave properly and avoid making mistakes.
As for whether Helian Si would take a liking to her, neither Qin Mengshu nor her family held any real hopes.
But Qin Mengshu hadn’t expected that she could directly call him ’Ah Si’?
"I..." Qin Mengshu couldn’t hide her joy, "Alright, Ah Si."
"Hmm."
Helian Si listened, raising his eyebrows slightly. The name Ah Si, the first person he let call him that was Yu Sangwan, but she never called him that, so now... he had to let someone else.
Though unwilling, he hoped he could gradually get used to it.
...
Yu Sangwan, who left work early, didn’t go home directly. Since she rarely got off work early, she naturally went to pick up Little Bun.
Passing by a dessert shop in a commercial area, Yu Sangwan went in to buy some pastries. She remembered Little Bun mentioning that every time the family nanny went to pick him up, she’d bring snacks to share with the other kids.
"Excuse me, what do you need?"
The shop assistant asked her, and Yu Sangwan smiled, "I’ll take a look first..."
Suddenly, something bumped into her from behind.
"Ah..."
Yu Sangwan was startled. She quickly turned around to see someone behind her about to fall and instinctively reached out to help, "Watch out! Sorry! Are you okay?"
"..." Lu Feixuan, wearing sunglasses and a mask with her hair down, was not recognizable by Yu Sangwan at that moment.
Lu Feixuan was anxious, groping blindly in the air and calling, "Yuezhe, Yuezhe..."
Yuezhe?
Yu Sangwan’s expression froze instantly. Yuezhe... how long had it been since she heard that name? Was it a coincidence? Yu Sangwan couldn’t contain her excitement, staring directly at the girl before her and trying to speak, "Feixuan?"
Lu Feixuan stopped abruptly, her body motionless.
"Who... are you?"
"Feixuan..." Yu Sangwan suddenly covered her mouth. How could this sudden reunion with her sister-in-law and little sister not stir her emotions after so many years?
Lu Feixuan slowly moved her hand and guessed, grabbing Yu Sangwan’s, "Is it... Wanwan sister?"
"...Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded tearfully, "It is, Feixuan, you..."
Lu Feixuan touched her sunglasses and mask, explaining, "My eyes... can’t see, and my face, it’s disfigured."
Yu Sangwan remembered, the disaster five years ago when Jinxuan was gone... Lu Feixuan’s condition was also terrible at the time. Later, Lu Yusen took her away, leaving Holy City, and they hadn’t been in touch much over the years. A girl going through all this, the hardships were imaginable.
"Are you alone?" Yu Sangwan supported her, "Let’s sit over there!"
"No..." Lu Feixuan was about to explain.
"Feixuan!" A clear male voice sounded, and both of them turned back to see Tang Yueze in a suit coming from the restroom direction.
Yu Sangwan’s eyes immediately welled up, memories surging!
So many years ago, she could never forget... it was Tang Yueze who took her to Lu Jinxuan! His behavior seemed rogue and rough back then, but today, it had become a precious memory, and they had become good friends.
"Yuezhe."
Yu Sangwan’s mouth moved slightly, tears welling at the corners of her eyes.
"..." Tang Yueze was already stunned. He hadn’t expected to meet Yu Sangwan here and bowed slightly, respectfully as before, "Eldest Young Madam."
"Hmm." Yu Sangwan sniffed back her tears. It had been so long since anyone called her that, it felt too foreign now.
"Yuezhe." Lu Feixuan reached out, and Tang Yueze immediately held her hand, "Since sister-in-law is here, let’s talk properly."
"Alright." Tang Yueze glanced at Yu Sangwan, "Eldest Young Madam, is it convenient?"
"Of course." Yu Sangwan nodded, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll make a call."
She turned to make a call, arranging for the nanny to pick up Little Bun.
The three of them sat down, close yet feeling worlds apart.
Lu Feixuan couldn’t see, and Tang Yueze, serving her pastries, carefully fed her with a spoon.
Yu Sangwan watched, eyes full of comfort, also a bit envious. Lu Feixuan was indeed pitiful, but at least she was still here... Tang Yueze could still take care of her. Whereas Jinxuan was no longer here. She had no chance to tend to him...
"Eldest Young Madam."
Tang Yueze took a moment to look at Yu Sangwan, speaking seriously, "I originally intended to find you, but since we met, it’s even better. I discovered a strange thing."
"What?"
Tang Yueze looked around, lowered his voice, "Eldest Young Master’s grave was relocated."
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, but hardly surprised, "I know about this. It’s been a while. I left Holy City with my father to the West shortly after."
"Why?" Tang Yueze frowned, expressing confusion.
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was surprised, having never really thought about it, "At the time, Auntie said it was the decision of the elders in the family, determined by Jinxuan’s grandfather."
Tang Yueze’s frown deepened, "Still, something’s not right. Eldest Young Master was from the Lu Family. Why would the Helian Family decide this? Also, such an important matter as relocating a grave, why would it be done without a word? I’ve been with the Lu Family all this time and never heard Mr. Lu mention this."
"Hmm." Lu Feixuan nodded along, "Over the years, it’s Yuezhe handling the Lu Family’s affairs. It’s unreasonable that such an important matter as Big Brother’s grave relocation would go unnoticed by Yuezhe."
Listening to them, Yu Sangwan grew doubtful, "Then... what really happened?"
