Chapter 52 - 52 Who Are You?
52 Who Are You?
After Yin Xun came out of w.a.n.g Ran’s house, she covered her nose and ran off. It was not until she left the residential unit that she dared to breathe deeply.
There were about a dozen old buildings in this area. They were rather old and looked like they would collapse soon. The walls were basically peeling off.
Yin Xun observed her surroundings. Not far from the old building was a new building that was under construction. It looked like it was very big.
She thought for a moment, then got into the car and circled the area.
She found that there were several buildings under construction nearby. It seemed that many residents would come in the future. However, there were no shopping malls nearby, not even under construction.
Yin Xun looked at the old residential area again and realized that it was just the right place to build a shopping mall. If construction were to start now, the shopping mall would be completed when the buildings opposite were completed and people moved in. It would be right on time to be used.
Yin Xun planned to tell Yin Cheng about this when she returned. He was best when it came to this.
When Yin Xun arrived home, the sky was already completely dark. She had been busy the entire day and had not even eaten lunch or dinner. At this moment, she was starving.
Just as she was worrying about what to eat, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Yin Xun saw from the display screen that it was Fang Yao’s butler.
She quickly went downstairs to open the door. “Uncle Butler, why are you here?”
“I was just preparing dinner when I heard the sound of a car outside. I guessed that you were back. Have you eaten?” the butler asked with a smile.
“I haven’t eaten yet. I was just about to prepare my meal,” Yin Xun replied truthfully.
When the butler heard that Yin Xun had not eaten or prepared anything yet, he was even happier. He smiled and said, “That’s good. I’ve prepared a lot tonight. Come over to our house to eat.”
“Right now? That’s no good. I ate your food last time and haven’t prepared a gift in return. I won’t go over this time. But thank you for your kindness, Uncle. I’ll invite you to our house to eat next time.”
Yin Xun had always been very principled about such things. The first time, she had accepted the offer without reservation because it was normal for neighbors to occasionally share things. However, this was based on the a.s.sumption that she returned the favor. Only with reciprocation would their relationship become better and better. If she kept asking for things, she would only end up being hated by everyone.
Besides, Yin Xun had something to ask of Fang Yao. She could not wait to curry favor with him, so she did not dare to leave a bad impression.
The butler saw that Yin Xun would not budge, and he sighed before he continued to persuade her. “Miss Yin, actually, it was our Young Master who invited you over. He said that he wanted to repay you for the free ride today.”
When Yin Xun heard that, she immediately agreed. “Alright, let’s go, then.”
Yin Xun followed the butler to the next room. When she entered, she realized that there was only a dining table laden with food in the living room. Fang Yao was not there.
“Where’s Fang Yao?” Yin Xun asked curiously.
The butler sighed and said, “There’s something going on with the Young Miss. Young Master just received the news and went to see her. He left a few minutes before you came back. But don’t worry, Young Master really asked me to invite you to dinner. You’re the only one at home anyway. It would be troublesome for you to cook after a busy day. Why don’t you come to our house to eat? It’s just an extra set of knives and forks.”
Yin Xun was a little disappointed. She had wanted to find out what Fang Yao thought about the future of the Internet while they were having dinner together. She did not expect him to not be around.
“Miss Yin, Young Master specially requested that you eat whatever you want. Please don’t stand on ceremony.” The butler saw that Yin Xun was standing at the dining table and not moving. He invited her to sit down.
Then, he went to the next room and took out a box of desserts. He handed it to Yin Xun. “This is the dessert you ate last time. Young Master saw that you liked it and specifically got someone to bring them.”
Yin Xun had thought that she only gave Fang Yao a ride on the way, but he had given her so many things in return. As expected, he valued the word “interaction” greatly.
It seemed that if she wanted to curry favor with him, she had to return the favor first and then give him a gift to make him feel that he owed her. Only then would be easier to negotiate a collaboration.
Yin Xun was thinking of a way to conquer Fang Yao while she ate. The butler was smiling at her from the side.
The gaze seemed to have already treated Yin Xun as the future Young Madam. Unfortunately, Yin Xun was too busy thinking of a strategy to notice.
Halfway through the meal, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the villa.
“Yao! Ah… Why are you here?”
Hearing the voice, Yin Xun turned around and saw Qu Lu standing at the door. She was staring at her warily.
Yin Xun was still hungry and could not be bothered with her. She asked leisurely, “Who are you?”
