Seeing that she was happy, Xu Rufeng smiled.
“Yes. When she comes back, you should take the initiative to visit her. After all, she likes you very much.”
Xu Yini was about to nod when Hao Yun said hesitantly,”She did use to like Yini a lot, but that was in the past. Lu Zheng has been stationed overseas for so many years. It’s been a few years since she and Yini have seen each other. Moreover, the relationship between both of our families is in such a mess now…”
Xu Rufeng looked displeased when he heard her.
“It’s precisely because it is in such a mess now that we have to take the initiative. Besides, Yini has always been lovable since she was young.”
Xu Yini was not happy to hear what Hao Yun had said.
The Xu family and the Lu family were family friends. She had liked Lu Huaiyu since she was young, so she had often gone to their house.
Back then, Lu Zheng and his wife had liked her very much, and they had often invited her to have dinner with them.
Although they had not been in touch for the past few years, they were still familiar with each other. The old friendship was still there.
She looked at Xu Rufeng.
“Dad, I understand what you mean. Actually, I haven’t seen Aunt Fang and Uncle Lu for so long. I miss them too.”
This news made her feel very excited, and even her heart began to beat faster.
“I’ve been out the whole day today and I’m very tired, so I’m just going to go upstairs and rest first, alright?”
As she spoke, she grabbed her bag from the sofa and briskly went upstairs.
“Yi–”
Hao Yun wanted to say something, but Xu Yini had already disappeared upstairs.
She could only swallow the rest of her words.
Xu Rufeng said, “Remember to pay more attention to what I told you just now.”
“Got it.”
…
Xu Yini went upstairs and entered her bedroom. Then, she took out a stack of brochures from the drawer.
These were the catalogs of new products that the major luxury brands had just sent over, including fashion, jewelry, and so on.
In another month or so, Lu Zheng and his wife would return to the Capital. Of course, she could not miss this opportunity.
She had to choose a gift that was satisfactory enough…
However, she flipped through all of them twice, but she could not find anything that she particularly liked.
Fang Yunyi was Lu Zheng’s wife. Of course, she did not lack for anything, so it was really difficult to choose something.
However, a gift had to be something that was to her liking. That would be the best.
She thought for a moment and made another call.
“Send me the new catalog from CHUIN as soon as possible. Also, give me a copy of a few brands of the same grade.”
After making the call, she flipped to the jewelry section.
She remembered that Fang Yunyi had a ruby necklace that she had worn for many years.
Was it because she was fond of rubies?
At the thought of this, Xu Yini flipped to the jewelry section and began to carefully make her selection.
…
Zhou Lan’s attitude towards Yu Yu was also much better.
“Lil Yu, it’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, the Xu family might not have relented.”
Initially, she had not wanted to bring Yu Yu along. After all, Yu Yu had embarrassed the Yu family during the LY press conference.
Now, not only Old Master Yu, but the entire Yu family was unhappy with Yu Yu.
Fortunately, Yu Yu had not disappointed her. This trip to the Capital had not been in vain.
Seeming to be much more relaxed, Yu Yu softly said, “Actually, I didn’t do much. It’s mainly because of your relationship with Auntie Hao. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have gotten the chance to meet with each other, right?”
Zhou Lan knew that Yu Yu had played an important role in this matter, but she was still very pleased with her words.
“I only hope that Ah Cheng can come out as soon as possible. I really don’t know how much he has suffered during this period of time…” Zhou Lan said as her eyes reddened again.
In her heart, Yu Yu sneered, but she did not show it on her face.
She said gently, “Brother will definitely be fine. Don’t worry.”
…
The next morning, Shen Li and Yu Pingchuan accompanied Mei Yanqing to the hospital for a follow-up check-up.
Originally, Mei Yanqing had been unwilling to go because he felt it was too troublesome. Yu Pingchuan had tried to persuade him several times, but he had refused to listen. In the end, he had been forced to enlist Shen Li’s help.
Shen Li drove straight to Jinse Bay. Fifteen minutes later, Mei Yanqing, who had hurriedly packed his things, slipped into the car and went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xijing University with her.
His surgery had been very successful, and his recovery had been very good. The follow-up check-up would also serve to make him feel more at ease.
The morning passed very quickly. Shen Li finally took Mei Yanqing’s medical report and read it carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, she handed it to him.
“All the indicators of your body are quite good.”
Mei Yanqing finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Then, can we go back now?”
He really did not want to stay in the hospital for even a minute longer.
Shen Li nodded.
“I’ll send you and Senior Brother back.”
Yu Pingchuan waved his hand.
“Ah Li, you don’t have to send me. I’ll wait for Xiao Lin here. He’ll be here later.”
Shen Li guessed something.
“Do you have other plans today?”
Yu Pingchuan nodded. “Shi Yang is back in the country. I’ll be going to meet him.”
Before Shen Li could say anything, Mei Yanqing frowned.
“Since when did you have such a good relationship with him?”
From the tone of his voice, it seemed like he did not like Shi Yang.
Yu Pingchuan said helplessly, “Master, it’s not just him. A few other people will be there as well. Moreover, he has already invited me several times. It’s not good for me to keep rejecting him.”
Mei Yanqing snorted coldly.
Shen Li blinked.
Mei Yanqing’s attitude was definitely not good.
Yu Pingchuan looked at Shen Li again.
“Oh right, Ah Li, Shi Yang said that he likes your paintings.”
Shen Li was slightly stunned.
Mei Yanqing frowned even more.
“There are many people who like Ah Li’s paintings. One more won’t make a difference. One less won’t make a difference.”
Shen Li finally could not help but ask,”Master, you… Has Shi Yang offended you in the past?”
“No.”
“Then why did you–”
“If there’s something that one doesn’t like, then one just doesn’t like it. Why is there a need to question why?”
Mei Yanqing frowned. He spoke with vigor, as if he did not feel that his words were arrogant at all.
Yu Pingchuan coughed.
“Master, he is one of the vice-chairmen of the art association after all. You have to give him some face when you are outside, don’t you…”
It would be a wonder if these words could persuade Mei Yanqing.
Shen Li stepped forward to smooth things over.
“Master, let me send you home first. What would you like to eat for lunch?”
Yu Pingchuan glanced at Shen Li. Originally, he had wanted to invite her to come along, but now it seemed that it was not very appropriate.
Mei Yanqing followed Shen Li out and asked again, “What does Ah Li think of his paintings?”
Shen Li shook her head.
“I don’t like them either.”
