Chapter 2358: Chapter 663: Gathering at the Bruch Residence (Part 5)
"Miss, do you remember how we met?"
An Yiqing smiled, "Of course I remember. That day, you were about to jump into the river to commit suicide, and I saved you."
She still remembered that day when Liao Jinglin, in a disheveled state, fell into the river. She acted bravely and pulled him ashore. Who would have thought that he would insist on jumping in again? She got angry and told him if he wanted to die, he should just do it quickly and stop crying. In the end, Liao Jinglin cried and told her his story: his girlfriend ran away with someone else, he got fired, returned to the country in disgrace, and couldn’t bear to face his family, so he thought of jumping into the river.
Liao Jinglin, remembering his past self, found it quite amusing. Having gone through so many ups and downs, he realized that none of it was as frightening as he’d thought.
"Miss, I’m very grateful to you for giving me a new life. Maybe if it weren’t for you that day, I wouldn’t have died. I would have lived on, had a good job and income, eventually married and had children, and lived an average life. But I know I wouldn’t be content. I wouldn’t be satisfied with living so unremarkably." Liao Jinglin leaned back on the sofa and stretched lazily, "Thank goodness I met you, Brother Zhang, and Binzi. I feel very fortunate. So, don’t worry about me being wronged. Xuanjin Yulong’s money is all managed by me, what’s there to feel wronged about?"
Liao Jinglin playfully tugged at the strands of hair on his forehead. He was originally handsome, and with that smile, he looked even more like the sunny corporate elite type. An Yiqing looked at him and smiled with relief.
"Brother Yusheng is right, you kid are a money-grubber, always diving headfirst into money matters." She tossed him a banana and glanced at him, "In a few days, during the World Business Association meeting, I can’t tend to Xuanjin Yu Jade, so everything will depend on you. Keep an extra eye open at the meeting, and if anything happens, come back and we’ll discuss it together."
Liao Jinglin immediately burst into laughter, clapped his sleeves with both hands, and assumed a servant-like posture, "Sure! You can rest assured!"
That night, Zhang Yusheng and Xing Bin returned to the hotel exhausted. The Thirteen Blood Generals also followed in right after. Long Zixuan and the others had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, just waiting for everyone to return to start dining.
"How are things on the company side?" An Yiqing asked while eating a piece of steak.
"Not bad, Qi Xiao has been managing it very well." Zhang Yusheng praised, nodding repeatedly, "The employees are all very enthusiastic. I can tell Qi Xiao really instilled Xuanjin Yulong’s philosophy into everyone. Also, in the afternoon, Binzi and I had a small meeting with the higher-ups there, and found they all have great ideas. Miss, if you go, you’ll definitely be very satisfied."
"That’s good, I’ll prepare and go take a look in a few days. Don’t tell Qi Xiao. Also, Ah Feng, help me keep an eye on Louise and Joe. If the Lasombra Clan bothers them, let me know immediately." An Yiqing worriedly instructed, concerned the Lasombra Clan’s Old Prince might make a move.
An Zhifeng was already aware of the Blood Clan Devil Sect’s situation, "Don’t worry, Miss, I’ll keep an eye on them."
"How’s the Guh Family? Any movements?" An Yiqing asked again.
"No, same as before. What on earth is Guh Siyi up to? It’s like she’s vanished into thin air." An Zhifeng pondered aloud.
An Yiqing said nothing, she should’ve guessed where Guh Siyi went. Before leaving Xuandu City, Guh Siqi mentioned that Guh Siyi’s power had greatly increased, reaching a critical point. If she guessed correctly, Guh Siyi must be in seclusion. As for why she disappeared right from under their noses, it must be because of the Guh Family’s Forbidden Technique.
Choosing not to dwell on Guh Siyi, who was a killjoy, An Yiqing, after finishing dinner, took the materials collected by Zhang Yusheng on the business association’s invited personnel and went into her room.
She had just changed into her clothes and sat on the bed when her phone rang. Looking at the name displayed on the screen, An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Haozi, are you getting used to staying with the Bruch family?" she asked with a smile.
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment, then an older voice came through, "Miss An, it’s Bruch."
"Old Prince?" An Yiqing was taken aback, her heart suddenly sank, "Did something happen to Xia Hau?"
"No, no, Mr. Xia is just fine, Miss An, don’t worry." Old Prince Bruch quickly explained, "I requested to use Mr. Xia’s phone to make the call; it’s just... more personal this way."
