Chapter 309 - Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder (1)
The conversation stunned Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi. They exchanged glances at each other as their eyes darkened. Xi Jiyang disappeared around the staircase and there was an odd atmosphere in the air.
“Grandmother, are you okay?” Xi Xinyi asked as she noticed Deng Wenwen seeming unwell.
Deng Wenwen’s breathing hastened. She stared at the staircase without saying anything and her face looked terrible. Xi Xinyi was startled by her reaction.
“Get her the medicine!” Yue Lingsi responded quickly.
Xi Xinyi heard her and quickly grabbed the medicine while Yue Lingsi poured a glass of water for Deng Wenwen to swallow her medicine.
They helped Deng Wenwen to sit on the sofa, and she recovered after some time.
“Mother, are you feeling better now?” Yue Lingsi comforted her, “Father hasn’t really been in a good mood these past few days. You don’t have to take what he said personally. Xiaye really stepped over her boundaries this time. Not only did she hide it from us, but she didn’t even tell you about it. How disrespectful and cold! Even if Xinyi… Well, she shouldn’t have done that anyway…”
“Don’t be angry, Grandmother. She’s penalizing me. If it weren’t for me, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. Grandfather is right. Since things have turned out like this, we should both compromise. After all, the 37% of shares have already been set. Sister is now the Operating President on behalf of Glory World in Yueying, so we can only hope for peace in the future.”
Xi Xinyi gave it some thought before she closed her eyes and said solemnly, “I never expected things to turn out this way. It’s all my fault, but don’t worry, Grandmother. Sister is a member of the Xi family. I believe she wouldn’t betray us. Let’s forget this happened and take it as my compensation towards her.”
Yue Lingsi totally agreed with what Xi Xinyi said. “Mother, you don’t have to worry about it. Xi Xiaye is the same as Shen Wenna. Not many people can stand them. Father isn’t penalizing you. It must be Xi Xiaye who begged them to keep it a secret. Yueying is still fine now, especially since we still have Yifeng managing it!”
“That’s right, Grandmother. I’ve decided to go back to Yueying once I get better to help Yifeng out. I’ll manage Yueying well and I’ll learn from him. I’m sure I’ll make Yueying even better! Mother is around too. Along with Yifeng and my uncle helping out, Yueying will be fine. You should just focus on recovering your health at this moment.”
Deng Wenwen’s expression softened when she heard Xi Xinyi’s persuading. She drank some water and looked at Xi Xinyi, her face still in shock. “Xinyi, you mentioned that Xiaye really married into the Mu family. Glory World Corporation’s Mu family? That Mu family…”
A cold light flashed through Xi Xinyi’s eyes as she nodded and replied quietly, “Mmm, that should be the truth. With the 37% of shares under Xi Xiaye’s control, and 17% of that directly under her, it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?”
“But don’t worry, Grandmother. I won’t let Yueying fall. I’ll take care of it.”
Xi Xinyi turned her head to Yue Lingsi and said, “Mother, you should help Grandmother back to her room to get some rest. It’s getting pretty late and I should go back soon. Yifeng will be coming back at night.”
Yue Lingsi nodded. “Okay, by the way, remember to take those tonic!”
…
Xi Xinyi never gave Han Yifeng a proper reply ever since he offered her two options, but she moved into Han Yifeng’s villa and had stayed with him after she was discharged several days ago.
Han Yifeng did not go back to the villa in the past few days. He went back to the Han Residence instead, so Xi Xinyi only met him once during this period of time. Obviously, he was trying to avoid her.
However, Xi Xinyi did not care because she had already decided that by the time her body recovered, the negative news would have gone away. Then, she would return to Yueying and learn from Han Yifeng and take control of Yueying.
She believed that it was impossible for their relationship to vanish just like that. She wanted to get Han Yifeng back, so she tried to delay the pressing matter and slowly get back into his heart.
She believed she could do it.
After all, Xi Xinyi was not any inferior compared to Xi Xiaye. If Han Yifeng noticed her good side again, she would be able to win him back!
…
After parting with Xi Mushan, Xi Xiaye went to Su Nan’s place and brought her some tonic. Su Nan seemed chubbier than before. She appeared to be in good health.
“Looks like Ruan Heng takes care of you very well.”
On their apartment balcony, they sat opposite each other. Su Nan was flipping through a children’s artbook while Xi Xiaye was making some honey for her.
“Of course, look at me now. I’m his queen! He has to listen to whatever I say. I’m that precious!” Su Nan replied straightforwardly.
“You’re happy now, huh? Poor Ruan Heng. I never knew you were such an expert at controlling your man.” Xi Xiaye laughed as she handed her the glass of honey.
Su Nan took a few sips as she squinted her eyes and looked at Xi Xiaye. “What now? Do you want to learn from me? I can tell you my secret, and I’m sure Master Mu will forever listen to whatever you say!” She looked at Xi Xiaye with a seductive gaze as she wore a sly smile on her face.
Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows and shrugged. She drank her tea and said, “Do you have a secret? Mu Yuchen told me before that you have the potential to be a relationship counselor.”
“I’m surprised that your man gave me such high praise. My impression of Master Mu is getting better!” Su Nan giggled. “However, I’m still going to tell you this secret whether you want to hear it or not because I want you to always be happy. Maybe it’ll be useful for you too.”
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. She closed her eyes and tried to hide the eagerness in her eyes.
