When Xia Yanran heard Nan Zhi’s words, her dazed thoughts were pulled back.
Her thick eyelashes were lowered and she took her eyes off the license plate, a small smile on her lips. “N-nothing.”
Nan Zhi was an attentive person, Yanran did not look like nothing had happened.
Was the owner of the Bentley someone Yanran knew?
Was it one of the two boyfriends she had dated before?
Nan Zhi was still wondering about it when the light in the yard was suddenly turned on.
Two figures came out of the small building.
One was Elder Dong, the other was a young man.
The sun had not fully set, plus the light was on in the yard, so the people inside and outside the yard could see each other clearly at a glance.
Xia Yanran felt her scalp turning numb.
She never thought that she would meet Xiao Yi here.
She wanted to turn away the moment he looked at her, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she could not move.
They looked at each other with just a single gate between them.
In a flash, all the past memories surged into her mind like a tide.
But in the end, there was only blankness in her mind.
An unlit cigarette was held in between his fingers, his other hand held Elder Dong. They were talking and perhaps noticing there was someone outside the yard, he raised his eyes and looked over.
He was dressed in black shirt and pants that ended at his ankles. From afar, he looked like a CEO in the business industry and not like a big boss of the mafia.
The first three buttons of his shirt were not buttoned, showing his exquisite collarbones and firm chest. His hair was very short, his hairline and sideburns clearly visible.
Xia Yanran’s gaze landed on his handsome face which looked both good and evil.
It was not like she had not seen him after they broke up. Although she had not seen him in person, she had seen the photos that her colleagues had secretly taken a few times.
He was still that man with a dangerous aura. Under his short hair, that face was still charming and handsome. However, compared to before, he had the stability of a grown man.
Now, he was even more unreadable!
But Xia Yanran could see that he was still a bloodthirsty devil in his bones.
The man only looked at her for a few seconds, there was no fluctuation of emotions in his eyes and he looked away, continuing his conversation with Elder Dong.
They came towards the gate of the courtyard.
Nan Zhi pulled at Xia Yanran.
Xia Yanran responded and stood on the edge of the yard.
“You have your business, just do what you need. You don’t have to come and see me from time to time. When my leg recovers, I will continue to take the old lady to travel around the world.”
“I don’t care if you’re going to travel around the world, but since you’re here in Hong Kong, I have no reason not to visit you from time to time. It’s not easy to meet a knowledgeable old man, so a rough person like me should get along with you and learn things.”
“You’re talkative.”
Xia Yanran heard their conversation and she clucked her tongue in her heart.
They did not have a chance to say a word to Elder Dong, but Xiao Yi knew him so well?
Was Xiao Yi also suffering from a mental illness?
Xia Yanran had no time to think about it and they had already reached the gate of the courtyard.
Elder Dong was somewhat surprised to see that Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi were still waiting outside.
How patient were these two girls?
“Elder Dong, then I’ll take my leave.” Xiao Yi reached out, shook hands with Old Mr Dong, before turning and walking towards the Bentley.
He did not even look at Xia Yanran.
Xia Yanran also did not look at him.
When they meet again, they had already become the most familiar strangers once again.
The Bentley started and disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
After Xiao Yi left, Nan Zhi and Xia Yanran found Elder Dong.
Elder Dong did not want to make it difficult for the two young ladies and he said, “I’ve stopped treating patients four years ago. No matter what their status is, I won’t be helping. Stop wasting your time and go back!”
Elder Dong went into the yard.
Nan Zhi looked at Elder Dong’s back and she quickly said, “By saving him, you’ll be saving tens of thousands of people. Old Mr Dong, please let me in and have a good chat with you?”
“Go back, young lady!”
Elder Dong entered the small building and shut the door.
Xia Yanran pulled Nan Zhi. “Let’s come back tomorrow and go back to take a bath and sleep first.”
Nan Zhi nodded.
On the way back, Nan Zhi called Xiaojie.
When Nan Zhi learned that Mu Sihan only wanted to work in the hospital and did not want to go back to the office, she felt more anxious and upset.
Xia Yanran bit her lips as she looked at the frowning Nan Zhi sitting on the front passenger seat.
Xiao Yi and Elder Dong knew each other and they seemed to be close. If Xiao Yi could help, would Elder Dong agree to go back to the Capital to treat Mu Sihan?
The next two days, Xia Yanran accompanied Nan Zhi to look for Elder Dong.
But other than asking them to leave, Elder Dong did not agree to Nan Zhi’s request.
It rained in the afternoon and Nan Zhi caught a cold after getting drenched in the rain.
Xia Yanran took her back to the apartment and bought her some medicine, letting her have a good rest in the room.
After Nan Zhi fell asleep, Xia Yanran came out of the room.
Her phone rang.
It was a call from the CEO.
“Yanran, this evening CEO Zhang, CEO Tan and CEO Yang are coming to Hong Kong. They are all important customers, so remember to receive them well!”
“Alright.”
After the call, Xia Yanran received the flight details from the CEO.
After cooking porridge for Nan Zhi, she left a note for her and went out.
After her assistant had booked the restaurant and hotel, Xia Yanran returned to the newspaper company.
Going into the office, she walked into the lounge that belonged to her. Taking out a set of professional attire from the closet, it was a white suit with a tight fitting short skirt that has a slit that just reached her knees. She tied her long hair into a low ponytail, her forehead clear of wisps of hair and she looked refreshing and neat.
After turning herself into a career woman, Xia Yanran went out with her assistant.
When Xia Yanran arrived at the hotel, the manager had already brought the four CEOs and their assistants to the restaurant.
When she pushed open the door to the private room, it was already filled with smoke.
There were about seven to eight people sitting around a big round table, talking and laughing, the atmosphere warm and jovial.
Xia Yanran went over with a professional smile on her face to greet the CEOs.
When she found that CEO Yang was not there, Xia Yanran looked at the manager and the manager said quickly, “CEO Yang met an acquaintance at the entrance and was greeting him. He should be here in a little while.”
Xia Yanran nodded.
She gestured for the waiter to pour wine for the CEOs.
Xia Yanran was about to return to her seat when the door to the room opened.
Seeing CEO Yang coming in, Xia Yanran and the manager stood up to welcome him.
Xia Yanran, with a smile on her lips approached CEO Yang and was about to greet him when she suddenly saw that there was another person behind him.
When Xia Yanran saw the man clearly, she stilled.
