Chapter 365: Chapter 180: You Think I’m an Iron Man and Don’t Need a Break?
After settling matters with Lin Wanzhou, Xu Yun was ready to head back to his new home to rest.
But unexpectedly, Liang Yan suddenly called, saying she had something to discuss with him at her office.
From the sound of her voice, it seemed incredibly urgent.
’What the hell could be so urgent this late? It’s just a classic case of a lonely young wife.’
Still, Xu Yun was a good-hearted person, so he drove over.
By the time he arrived at her company, the sky was already growing dark. The employees had long since gone home, leaving the place completely empty.
The only light still on was in her office.
Xu Yun went upstairs, walked straight to her office, and pushed open the door. He found her inside, alone.
She was wearing a long, light gray dress. The style was form-fitting, and her ample bust strained against the high neckline. The dress perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure.
When she saw Xu Yun come in, her face flushed as red as a rose. Her full, pert bottom swayed rhythmically as she walked toward him.
Seeing her provocative demeanor, Xu Yun sidestepped her, found a sofa, and sat down. He chuckled and said, "So this is the ’incredibly urgent business’ you mentioned?"
"Of course," Liang Yan said with a straight face, batting her eyelashes like a poor, helpless little thing being bullied by the big bad wolf.
She spouted nonsense, "Putting out a fire is a matter of life and death. You’ve been back for so long and haven’t even come to see me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll burn to a crisp?"
"Serves you right if—" Before Xu Yun could finish speaking, Liang Yan had already sealed his mouth with hers.
Feeling the heat of his breath, Liang Yan took the initiative again, wrapping her arms around his waist and kissing him even more wantonly.
Xu Yun was swept up in the moment.
’Some things were simply impossible to refuse. Not that he wanted to.’
His hands began to move.
A tingling sensation, like a jolt of electricity, shot through Liang Yan’s entire body.
At the same time, she could feel his own eager anticipation. The sheer force of it made her want to skip straight to the next step.
"How about we go over to the desk to ’talk business’?"
"Okay."
Just as the two of them were getting into the heat of their "struggle," the phone in his pocket suddenly started ringing.
Liang Yan had just started to remind him about it when Xu Yun gave her a firm slap on the rear and said, "Stand still. Don’t move."
"..." Liang Yan was speechless.
The phone rang again and again, but Xu Yun just glanced at the caller’s name and ignored it.
At home, Xino called Xu Yun’s phone over and over, but no one picked up.
She was very frustrated.
’Is he not answering my calls, or can he just not hear it?’
’He probably just can’t hear it.’
’If he won’t answer his phone, I’ll just have to go find him.’
Just as she was about to head out, her dad called out to her, "Where do you think you’re running off to so late at night?"
"To go hang out with my friend."
The man asked suspiciously, "That young man who gave me the tea?"
"Mhm."
"By the way, did you ask him about what I told you to ask?"
"I did," Xino replied with a smile. "He said he’ll come visit you when he has time."
"So when will he have time?"
The man said, somewhat displeased, "He makes it sound like I’m free all day. I’m very busy too. If he wants to see me, I’ll have to check if I even have the time."
"Dad, you’re either out drinking and eating all day, or you’re at home drinking tea and reading the paper. My brother does everything at the company."
Xino retorted, "Busy with what? You look pretty free to me."
"..." The man was speechless.
’They aren’t even together yet, and she’s already siding with an outsider!’
"Alright, I’m not going to argue with you. I’m going out."
"Where are you going?"
The man said, "I’ll have the driver take you."
"No need, I can drive myself."
"Fine, then. But you have to drive slowly on the road and be careful, you hear?"
"I know."
Xino answered, then opened the door and hurried out.
Unlike other rich girls with their sports cars and luxury vehicles, she didn’t own a single one.
In her garage sat only a small, pink Volkswagen Beetle.
The main reason was that she rarely drove; otherwise, her dad wouldn’t have specifically reminded her to go slow.
Xino got in the car, buckled her seatbelt, mentally reviewed the steps to driving, then hit the push-to-start button and set off.
Just as she pulled out, she passed her brother coming home in his Mercedes. She didn’t stop to say hello, just giving a quick honk before driving on.
After parking the car, Xi Wei went inside and asked his father, "Dad, where’s Sis off to again?"
"Where else do you think?"
The man said irritably, "To find that kid with the surname Xu."
"..." Xi Wei was silent.
"By the way, I asked you to dig up some information on him. Did you find anything?"
"I found a few things, but I’m not sure about their authenticity. And it’s highly illogical."
Xi Wei replied, "According to the file, he comes from an ordinary background. His father passed away when he was young, and he was raised by his single mother.
He previously worked a low-level job at a media company and had a girlfriend, but they eventually broke up.
As a result, he even hired a lawyer to sue her and get back 100,000 in bride price money."
"A 100,000 bride price?" The man was stunned when he heard this, thinking he must have misheard.
’A young man who’s willing to spend 18 million on tea, and who casually gifts me tea worth several million, would sue someone over a 100,000 bride price?’
Seeing his father’s confusion, Xi Wei added, "I found it strange too, because the lawyer he hired was Lawyer Luo, from one of Jiangcheng’s ’Red Circle’ firms."
"..." The man was silent.
He knew of Lawyer Luo. In fact, he knew the man personally.
So he asked in confusion, "Would a major firm like that really take on such a small case?"
"I asked. It’s because he’s a high-level VIP client of the firm."
