Chapter 137: Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(26)
World Five. Childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(26)
It turned out that Xue Xue's hunch was correct.
Xie Conglu was indeed Gao Changze's son.
His mother was the woman whom Gao Changze had kept in his heart for decades, the lover who was separated after being obstructed by the elders of the family in every possible way.
"I really didn't expect it." Xue Xue sighed with one hand on her chin. "Fate is really amazing, isn't it?"
"Yes, just like a TV drama, it has a twist."
Gao Qiqi only thought that the inspiration for the drama really came from reality. No one would have thought that Xue Xue's boyfriend who came over to apply for the job would become the boss's son and the little boss of the company? But then she thought of Xue Xue's "profound" words to herself when Xie Conglu went in for the interview, and suddenly had a sense of realization.
"Sister Xue, you already knew?"
"Huh?"
"Xie Conglu's identity."
"How is that possible?"
"But you said at the time."
"Did I say something?"
"Er"
Xue Xue's face was smiling so bright that she couldn't remember what the woman had said, but she felt she couldn't figure it out at the time, and now she suddenly did.
But it seemed difficult to organize into words to express it?
Seeing Gao Qiqi's tangled face, Xue Xue patted her on the shoulder. "Don't think too much."
"I know, I just"
"Xue Xue!"
Xie Conglu walked in.
Gao Qiqi once again sighed at the man's good appearance. She used to think that President Xi was already the best-looking young successful person, but compared with Xie Conglu, she felt that there was still something missing.
"Little, little boss, you, hello!"
Xie Conglu glanced at the stuttering Gao Qiqi and nodded coldly.
Gao Qiqi gave a meaningful glance.
"Then I'll print these first." Gao Qiqi said gratefully to Xue Xue after packing all the documents scattered on the table into the folder. "Sister Xue, thank you for this afternoon."
"It's a small matter." Xue Xue waved her hand. "You're welcome."
After Gao Qiqi left, Xie Conglu suddenly surrounded Xue Xue from behind.
"Hey what are you doing?" Xue Xue struggled, but the man's arms were like iron tongs, holding her tightly. "Xie Conglu, show a little restraint! We're in the company!"
Xue Xue reprimanded in a low voice, but in Xie Conglu's ears, the woman's voice, which was a little more hoarse than the usual because of the repression, was very charming. He was excited, and the thing in his suit pants couldn't help but twitch.
Xie Conglu felt that he was not a person who was too lustful. However, after being teased by this woman for more than ten days in a row, he only drank some broth at the end. People who are even abstinent can't stand this torture.
"Are you going to work overtime today?"
"Today? No need today."
"Then we"
"Xiaochen's birthday, my dad has booked a restaurant to celebrate." Xue Xue knew what Xie Conglu was thinking by looking at Xie Conglu's expression. "Dear, have you forgotten? Gao Changze is going to take you and Aunt Xie to dinner today."
"Don't talk about it." Xie Conglu was upset when he heard the name. He let go of Xue Xue. "Let's not mention him, okay?"
"Xie Conglu."
Xue Xue didn't answer yes or no, she just called out his name and stared straight at the man, who had to look away first.
"I know what you're thinking."
"No, you don't know."
Xie Conglu was like a child at this time, and when he turned his neck, he glared and scowled, making Xue Xue laugh.
"No, I know."
Saying that, Xue Xue stood up and took the initiative to put her hand on Xie Conglu's shoulder.
This was the first time she had made such an intimate action with a man in the company, so even if it wasn't a kiss, Xie Conglu still obediently asked Xue Xue to hold his body.
"You blame Gao Changze. When you and Aunt Xie were in the most difficult time, he didn't accompany you." Xue Xue's voice was like the gurgling water, which knocked into his ears, bringing a cool feeling that seeps into his heart, and gradually calmed down the man's irritable heart. "It's human nature and there's nothing wrong with it, but have you ever thought about Gao Changze who has no knowledge of all this?"
These words made Xie Conglu's fist at his side clenched.
Xue Xue knew that this was the most direct physical reaction of a man when he was torn in his emotions.
"If he had turned a blind eye, or he never took action, then I would agree with you." Xue Xue continued. "But he's not. In the past decades, he has never given up looking for you. Even the name of the company he founded is named after your mother."
"Aunt Xie should also know this very well. That's why she accepted your father so soon. Of course, it may also be because she still loves him or because of the reality of life."
"But since the betrayed party is willing to give him another chance, why don't you try it too?"
"People's life is so long. It is better to face it bravely than to be afraid to escape. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises." Xue Xue's tone softened, like a teacher encouraging stubborn children and teaching earnestly. "I think Aunt Xie also hopes that your father and son can get along well."
When it comes to his mother, Xie Conglu's softening is more obvious.
Xue Xue knew that it was time to put more effort into breaking through Xie Conglu's heart, or else he would be reluctant to take the first step once he hesitated.
Xue Xue felt that Xie Conglu did not completely reject Gao Changze, but that his father was too unfamiliar with him and had been absent from his life for too long, so he was uneasy and pretended not to care.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Aunt Xie."
"Aunt Xie raised you alone. For a mother, you must be the most important and precious person to her. If you are not willing to accept Gao Changze in the end, Aunt Xie will surely reject him because she cares about your feelings, but do you still want Aunt Xie to go back to the old days?"
These words completely hit Xie Conglu's soft spot.
Aside from that, Gao Changze's financial resources will certainly provide the best treatment and care for his mother.
He closed his eyes.
"I see."
Xue Xue knew that the extent to which Xie Conglu cared about his mother would definitely be shaken.
"Then"
"Be back before ten o'clock."
"What?"
Xie Conglu's topic jumped so quickly that Xue Xue couldn't keep up.
"I said you have to be back by ten o'clock, so you can't go home to live with your parents anymore." Xie Conglu said, his voice suddenly dropped. "Because, I have prepared a present for you."
