Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye nodded.
“What other arrangements do you have today? For a work report, at this time, you’d probably have to wait for tomorrow, right?”
Xi Xinyi looked at the time on her wrist and replied, “It was quite late when we get off the plane. The meeting will only start tomorrow.”
“Alright, it’s getting late. Since you’re back, let’s get together. I’ll call your Brother-in-law now, let’s have dinner at University A tonight. They probably don’t have cla.s.ses tonight,” Xi Xiaye suggested.
Xi Xinyi thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
“Then, I’ll pack up. Let’s go to the mall to buy groceries together and pick up your Brother-in-law at the same time.”
Xi Xiaye got up slowly and went over to pack up the things on the table.
“Sure. I even prepared some small gifts for Xiao Cheng and Xiao Rui in the car downstairs. I left them inside because they were too heavy. Xiao Cheng should have grown quite big, right?”
Xi Xinyi’s eyes were filled with care.
“Mmm, he’s already walking steadily. He can speak clearly too, but sometimes he’s too naughty. Your brother-in-law and I weren’t like him when we were younger. I wonder whose personality he followed,” Xi Xiaye said helplessly.
“It’s alright. It’s good for boys to be naughty. However, I think Xiao Cheng should be more like Brother-in-law. When he grows up, he’ll definitely be very handsome.”
Xi Xinyi looked at the family photo on XI Xiaye’s table and smiled.
Xi Xiaye followed her gaze and smiled calmly. “Mmm, he is more like your brother-in-law in terms of silhouette. If he were like your brother-in-law in terms of temperament, then we can worry less.”
As Xi Xiaye said this, she swiftly packed her things.
“Brother-in-law is really good to you, Sis. I often envy you for meeting someone like Brother-in-law. However, everyone has their own fate. Now that I’m at this point, I should be satisfied too,” Xi Xinyi sighed.
“It’s good to be content. I should feel lucky. Alright, let’s go. Let’s chat while we walk.”
Xi Xiaye carried her briefcase and walked out of the door.
Xi Xinyi took a sip of tea, then put it down and followed.
Then…
The black Cayenne quickly drove towards Glory World Corporation. Xi Xinyi sat in the back seat while Xi Xiaye drove. The car had just started when Xi Xiaye picked up her phone and dialed Mu Yuchen’s number.
After the ringtone rang a few times, the man on the other end picked up too
“What’s up?”
There was some concern in his low and gentle voice. “Calling at this time?”
When the familiar voice entered her ears, Xi Xiaye’s beautiful face quickly showed a sense of warmth. “What are you doing? At this time, it seems like it’s almost time to get off work.”
“I just finished a meeting. Are you going to treat me tonight, Missus? Usually, you’ll only call me at this time for that? Or do you want me to take you somewhere to relax?”
Mu Yuchen’s teasing voice traveled over as he leaned back in his chair, looking very satisfied.
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye could not help but roll her eyes, “Don’t think that you can guess it. But it is about dinner, Xinyi’s back and she’s in my car right now. I’ve planned to go to my parents’ place for dinner together. I’m driving over to pick you up now so you don’t have to drive and go to the supermarket to buy groceries. My parents probably don’t have any cla.s.ses tonight,” said Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xinyi?
When he heard this name, Mu Yuchen was stunned too. He could not react in time!
It had been such a long time. He had almost forgotten about this person.
He wondered how she was getting along with Han Yifeng and if they had gotten back together.
“Also, bring down our son’s bag of toys. I’ve already packed them and put them in the second closet in your lounge room.”
Xi Xiaye did not forget about this either.
“Mmm, got it.”
“Then, come downstairs in 20 minutes. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Xi Xiaye said this last sentence before hanging up the phone.
…
Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen had been married for quite a few years. Not only did the relationship between the husband and wife not fade, it even became stronger. Xi Xinyi had always been paying attention to Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xinyi was very envious of such a relationship. Of course, at the same time, she felt a little bitter.
Her days over there were not considered short. In such a long time, she had not been able to get Han Yifeng’s heart back. The only thing that made her happy was that her relationship with her son had deepened a little.
Han Yifeng had another woman by his side. There were often rumors about him having dinner with a certain socialite or attending some charity dinner together.
In the beginning, Xi Xinyi was really heartbroken when she heard such news, but as time pa.s.sed and she heard it more, she seemed to have become a little numb. Now, her thoughts were all on her son. With regards to Han Yifeng, she did not expect too much anymore.
“Sis, has Brother-in-law always been like this with you? Look at the two of you. You’ve been married for so long, yet your relationship is still the same as before. It makes me envious.”
Xi Xinyi watched Xi Xiaye put away her phone and asked softly.
Xi Xiaye paused for a moment. She glanced at Xi Xinyi through the car mirror in front and seemed to be able to catch the darkness on her face.
“He’s always been pretty good to me.”
“Brother-in-law is a good person. He’s worthy of you cherishing him, sis.”
“I know. What about you and Han Yifeng?”
Xi Xiaye asked the same question.
“I’m afraid that that is all to us. No matter how hard I try, I still can’t get back into his heart. Sister, he’s already completely removed all the memories about me.”
As Xi Xinyi said this, her lips curled into a bitter smile. “I don’t dare to expect too much anymore. After all, I’m such a sinful person.”
“Don’t talk about yourself like that. You’re very goo,d, there are many things that we can’t hold on to. We’re not saints.”
“But now that things have become like this, even if I want to make up for it, there’s nothing I can do. Han Yifeng isn’t willing to accept me back at all. I don’t want to lower my self-esteem and humiliate myself. Sis, actually, I’m really doing pretty well now. I’ve seen through many things, things are just that to me.”
Xi Xinyi’s voice sounded even more bitter and helpless.
“Don’t think too much. This time, just spend some time with Father. He sometimes think of you, and he hopes that you can live well too,” Xi Xiaye said with some concern.
“Mmm, I did come back to see him anyway.”
Xi Xinyi took a deep breath and then eased up a little.
“Is everything going well over there?”
“Everything’s pretty good. President Qi’s decision-making is very prescient. When I took over, my performance went up very quickly as well. Everything is going very smoothly.”
