CHAPTER 420
Andromeda was glad that Jian Xiaofei did not call anymore that day since there were still some things that needed doing and time was running out fast.
Although she should have felt bad about having been distracted lately because of her boyfriend's situation which led her here today instead of working on her own stuffs, Andromeda smiled all through and began evaluating the designs sent to her mail for Fashion Company's designs to be showcased.
The next day came quickly, unlike the last she could not visit Zheng Ying with Liu Xueyi and headed to the company on her own.
On the other hand, when Liu Xueyi placed a call to Xu Fang, the latter understood what he needed to do and was ready to be there for his friend.
In fact, before Liu Xueyi asked him to handle the company in his absence, Xu Fang already questioned him about his son.
"Well I did tell her I would see him today. Let's see as this plays out. If I leave on time, I will head over to the..."
"Company?" Xu Fang's disappointed voice interrupted and finished for him.
"Yeah."
Xu Fang scoffed at him. Was he really serious now?
"Hey, Xueyi, this would be the first time you are seeing your son since ever! I suggest you get your butt ready to be with him the entire day and not think about some company. What am I here for? It's the first day, make it count."
As much as Liu Xueyi wished to argue with that, he just couldn't. Xu Fang had a point.
But were they not missing the most important point now?
What if Zheng Ying refused to let him stay? Although he could tell that she was hiding something, a part of him felt that she may be scared that should he get to know their son, he would become attached and file a lawsuit.
Scratch that, should his family, especially Grandpa Huoyi find out, he would fight for custody on his behalf.
The Liu family would not let the first greatgrandson be trained outside the Liu family and not given the best.
Under such circumstances, what was he to say that Zheng Ying would let him take her son from her which this time would be as a sort of punishment.
"Fine I know what you are thinking. She is afraid."
"Exactly."
"Regardless. State your ground. She has no say actually. It is either she comes to your terms or she doesn't get help for her son. His life or her pride."
When Xu Fang put it to him like that, Liu Xueyi was once again reminded of the words Zheng Ying told him before he left.
'He was diagnosed with cancer.'
He shut his eyes briefly, massaging his temples as he released a deep sigh.
"It is important though but I have heard your concerns. I won't play into her hands."
"From the looks of it, you already have. Relax, no one blames you. He is a child and your child at that."
"Stop reminding me of the obvious. I got to go, I am about arriving at the street where she asked us to meet."
"Okay. I would have Bolin do an area check."
"Thanks, man."
Xu Fang nodded slowly at hearing his words and ended their conversation by saying, "I understand."
When the call ended, Andromeda who had been watching them talk, felt happy Liu Xueyi had a friend like Xu Fang.
"Sorry I am pushing him to another woman," Xu Fang apologized and dropped his phone on his desk. His eyes held a certain sadness in them.
Andromeda smiled gently. It was understandable since he was talking to someone he cared for deeply and was worried for him too—which was why he was so concerned for Zheng Ying's son's health condition.
She did not blame him for that because she knew how much he cherished Liu Xueyi.
"Don't worry, we will make sure everything goes well."
"I'm now worried," Andromeda uttered with a shrug. "You are not pushing Xueyi into her arms but you are pushing him to his son. Now that, there's difference."
"Yet they will meet. I like the fact that you are relaxed, Andromeda. It's good, Liu Xueyi found himself a very good woman."
"Stop with the flattering. Now, about my help." She arched her brows up playfully and giggled softly.
*******
"He seriously can't let go can he?" Liu Xiao Xin blurted out as she threw her hands in the air.
When she saw the news on social media about her brother's confrontation with Xie Tian, she was pissed beyond measures.
She had thought he was beginning to lean to her but yet, Xie Tian decided to fight with Liu Xueyi over Andromeda, a girl who was in love with her brother.
"Calm down, Xiao Xin. I told you, Andromeda cannot be trusted. She is playing a double game with two men just to vy for the attention."
She snapped her head to the side, her eyes settling on the one who spoke.
"Remind me again why or how you found your way into my room, Yuemi?"
Standing by the door and dressed in body con black dress that reached her knees and high heels —she looked like an angel sent from heaven itself and she knew she could get away with anything she wanted because of it.
Her hair fell straight past her shoulders while she kept a small ponytail tied behind her neck which gave off a sexy look.
Her smile made Xiao Xin feel uneasy though because when Gao Yuemi smiled at someone else in situations like this—it meant trouble—and this time was no different.
"I am here to see if you have any plans to attend the fashion show next week," Gao Yuemi replied smoothly before turning towards the mirror where she fixed up her, admired her reflection and soothed her outfit.
"I heard about the event and I would really want to go. So, I thought I should check in on you, should incase you wanna go."
Xiao Xin narrowed her gaze on her and she shook her head.
"You're suspicious, Yuemi and what's this about Andromeda I hear you whispering?"
A thoughtful smile formed at the corners of Gap Yuemi's lips.
"I love that interest and that's another reason why I like you, Liu Xiao Xin."
