Chapter 17

As soon as Chi Xu left, Yu Huai stood up swiftly and trotted out, “Aunt He, has President Chi left?”

Aunt He looked at her excited face and smiled, “Yes, Mr. Chi probably won’t be back until very late tonight. Are you afraid of him?”

Yu Huai adjusted his clothes and said, “I’m not really scared…it’s just that he’s a little…a little difficult to approach.”

Aunt He’s eyes wandered over her face for a moment, and she sighed slightly, “Actually, President Chi is also quite pitiful.”

Pitiful??

Yu Huai could never imagine that the word “pitiful” could be associated with a person like Chi Xu. How could he be pitiful when he spoke to him every day in that tone of voice that said “you are an idiot” and had that look of disgust towards everyone?

“Gurgle——”

The clear sound of stomach growling rang out in the empty hall, echoing back and forth. Yu Huai covered his stomach and smiled embarrassedly.

Aunt He: “Are you hungry?”

Yu Huai nodded. She hadn’t eaten all day and the car had hardly stopped on the road. She relied on sleeping to resist hunger.

“There are a lot of things in the refrigerator in the kitchen. Take a look and see what you want to eat. I will make it for you.”

Yu Huai walked forward with a smile, “Aunt He, have you eaten yet? I’m a good cook, I’ll make you a meal to taste.”

…….

After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Huai held his round belly and licked his lips in satisfaction. Among the Western dishes on the table, Yu Huai only made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the rest were made by Aunt He. Aunt He’s cooking skills were really amazing, and were completely different from his own.

Aunt He beside her yawned and looked up at the clock. “It’s already half past nine. Let’s clean up and go to bed.”

Aunt He stood up to clear the table, and Yu Huai quickly stood up and snatched the plate from Aunt He’s hand, “Leave it to me, Aunt He, you should go to bed quickly, I can finish this little thing in a moment.”

Aunt He smiled and patted her hand, “Okay, thank you for your help.”

Yu Huai shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about whether it’s troublesome or not. This is what I should do.”

Yu Huai washed the dishes, wiped the table, cleaned the kitchen, threw out the garbage, and then went back to sleep yawning.

On the other side, Chi Xu drove out of the villa and went to the company first. During the few days he was away, the contracts to be signed in the company had piled up into a mountain. It was not until the early morning that Chi Xu left the company’s gate.

He rubbed his swollen forehead and got in the car, which headed directly to Xinglehui.

Xinglehui is a high-end membership club in Lin’an City. Chi Xu holds 10% of the shares, another 10% is in the hands of Sun Jiqing, and the remaining 20% is divided into half in the hands of Qi Gang and the other half in the hands of Xu Jiangshu.

Westerners grew up naked in a large courtyard.

Since the revolution began in the 1960s, the compound has been disbanded. Chi, Xu, Sun, Qi and the Xi family each found a place to hide from the limelight. It was not until the end of the revolution that the Xi people gathered again in Lin’an City.

Xu Jiangshu is a physics teacher at Lin’an University. Apart from him, the other three are all in business. Xinglehui was established by Sun Jiqing in 1979. Chi Xu and Sun Jiqing have similar interests, and the two hit it off and built Xinglehui. The remaining two were pulled in by Sun Jiqing.

When Sun Jiqing first opened Xinglehui, he also opened several dance halls and ice rinks. He was a well-known playboy in Lin’an City. In comparison, Xu Jiangshu and Qi Gang were much more cautious.

Qi Gang’s family had been high-ranking officials in the palace since the Qing Dynasty. Qi Gang’s father was still a high-ranking official at the time. Qi Gang’s father was the mayor of Lin’an City, so when the revolution began, the Qi family was the least affected.

But things were different when it came to Qi Gang. Qi Gang looked calm and quiet, but in fact, he was very wild inside. Sun Jiqing often looked at him and said, “He looks like a dull guy, but in fact, he is more wild than all of us.”

Qi Gang ran away from his government job, got some money from his grandfather, and opened department stores one after another. Now they are all over the country.

When they arrived at Xinglehui and just parked the car, a doorman came over and called out “Mr. Chi”, took the car keys from Chi Xu’s hand, and drove to the parking space designated by Mr. Chi.

In the early morning, Xinglehui is still brightly lit. Xinglehui is only open to members and their guests.

In addition to sports facilities such as billiards and bowling, the club also has luxurious restaurants, conference rooms and leisure areas, providing members with venues for business negotiations and social entertainment.

They took the elevator all the way to the top floor. When they got out, Chi Xu raised his eyebrows. It was strange that it was so quiet today.

Walking along the corridor and around several carved wooden screens, there were several people sitting on the sofa in the hall. There was no one at the pool table, the dance hall, or the video room. In the middle of the hall, several pretty women were dressed neatly, standing or sitting, each holding a musical instrument, playing music quietly.

Hearing the sound, Sun Jiqing turned halfway around, holding the back of the sofa, and winked at him. The man who never wore his shirt properly now buttoned up all the way to the top button.

Chi Xu chuckled and walked in: “Why? Not eating meat today, eating vegetarian instead?”

Hearing the sound, a little head popped out from behind the other half of the big sofa, blinking and looking at him curiously.

Chi Xu paused slightly. The little girl’s eyes were as clear as a small pond, so watery that you could probably squeeze water out of them if you pinched them.

Sun Jiqing leaned against the sofa and jumped up, rushed to Chi Xu’s side, put his arm around his shoulders and shook him, “Old Chi, Dashu brought his sister here, little Ruirui is so pretty.”

He leaned close to Chi Xu’s ear and whispered, “You’re the type I like, so I’ll keep it for you.”

Chi Xu pushed him away and patted his shoulder, “Stay away from me, you reek of perfume.”

Xu Jiangshu stood up and said with a smile: “I thought you wouldn’t come today. We’ll all be leaving in a while.”

Xu Jiangshu stood up, and Shen Jiarui behind him also stood up quickly, looking timidly at the man walking towards them.

Chi Xu lowered his fingers to his sides and rubbed them lightly twice, then walked over and patted his shoulder. “Why did you have time to come here today? And you brought…your sister with you.”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shen Jiarui’s side, but they moved away for just a moment.

Shen Jiarui noticed Chi Xu’s gaze, shrank her neck, and hid behind Xu Jiangshu.

My cousin’s friends are all so weird. The one in the flowered shirt always looks at her and smiles like a fox. The one in the jacket said something when she just came in, but the rest of the time he was like a mute, sitting silently opposite her. Now a man in a suit came in, and his eyes were scary.
