After Qi Qiming woke up, he had also sent people to investigate Dongfang Liuyun’s background. It seemed that they were all old acquaintances in the circle.
Qi Qiming naturally knew about Dongfang Gan and Song Siting, as well as the Dongfang family.
However, it took him a lot of time to digest this news. He felt that a lot of things had happened too quickly, and he found it hard to believe.
“Father, there’s a bench in front. Take a seat.”
Dongfang Liuyun pointed to the bench in front of her and pulled Qi Qiming back to reality.
Qi Qiming followed Dongfang Liuyun’s gaze and looked over. He nodded and walked over.
“It’s rare to see such good weather today. You guys can sit too. Sit!”
Qi Qiming sat on the bench. He looked up and saw that Qi lei and Dongfang Liuyun were still standing. He quickly pointed to the seat next to him and gestured for them to sit.
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at Qi Lei and saw that he had already quietly walked over to sit down. Only then did she sit down on the other side.
“It’s been hard on both of you during this period of time. I only found out later that so many things had happened. Fortunately, everything is peaceful now. Your wedding seems to be after the new year. Take advantage of this time to recuperate. I can help take care of it, so you guys can continue to work.”
When Qi Qiming mentioned his son’s wedding, he seemed excited.
“Father, you should take good care of yourself. We’ll worry about these things. You can’t work too hard.”
There was some grat.i.tude in Dongfang Liuyun’s words. “It’s a very fortunate thing for us that you’ve woken up. There’s still a long way to go. You have to take care of your health.”
When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi Qiming was taken aback as well. He seemed to be thinking about something as he turned to look at Qi Lei. Seeing that he was silent, his gaze darkened as he slowly leaned back in his chair.
“My health is pretty much alright, I can hold on. I’ll probably have a lot of free time when I get back, there’s nothing wrong with finding something to do. Qi Kai left behind a lot of problems. Those old guys from before were all pretty good, you need to learn how to use their abilities…”
Qi Qiming could not help but remind Qi Lei. Even though he did not remember many things, he was still very clear about Qi Kai’s situation.
Qi Lei did not say anything. He just listened quietly.
“w.a.n.g Chun has been by my side for many years. He has always been loyal. You have to communicate with him more. He has more experience in handling many things. Also, I believe that you know what to do with some of the Qi family’s business matters. You have to be more attentive.”
“Father, you don’t have to worry about work matters. He will take care of it. You just focus on recuperating.”
Qi Qiming’s voice fell for a long time. When Qi Lei did not respond, it was Dongfang Liuyun who spoke up to break the awkwardness.
Qi Qiming was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Qi Lei, who had been silent. He sighed in his heart and finally said nothing more…
…
When they left the hospital, it was already noon. The couple found a restaurant nearby and had a simple lunch. Then Dongfang Liuyun sent Qi Lei straight back to Tai Yu Corporation.
…
Xi Xiaye did not expect to see Xi Xinyi again. She thought that the two sisters would never see each other again in this lifetime.
When Secretary Ding brought her in, Xi Xiaye was stunned.
“Sis, long time no see. How are you?”
There was a hint of grace in her gentle voice. Her long hair had been cut off, and her simple layered hair made her look very energetic. She also looked very capable.
She was currently wearing a camel-colored woolen coat. She looked travel-worn, so she must have just rushed back.
“Xi Xinyi? How is it you?”
Xi Xiaye looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise.
Xi Xinyi put her handbag aside and looked at Xi Xiaye. There was a faint smile on her beautiful face—
“It’s me. The head office here is holding an annual concluding meeting. I’m back to report on the work situation over the next few days. I wanted to take advantage of these few days to come over and see you, Brother-in-law, Father, and the rest. Have you guys been doing okay?”
Xi Xinyi was more modest now. She no longer had the arrogance and fierceness from before. It could be seen that she had settled down a lot over the past few days, and she seemed like a completely different person.
“We’re all fine. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back? I could’ve arranged for someone to pick you up.”
Xi Xiaye then came back to her senses. She slowly stood up from the chair and pointed at the sofa beside her. Have a seat. Secretary Ding, please make a cup of hot tea.”
“Okay, President Xi!”
Secretary Ding quickly went over to make tea while Xi Xinyi followed Xi Xiaye to sit on the sofa.
“That’s not necessary. Anyway, I’m quite familiar with City Z. I just wanted to come over to see you, Sis, and Father.”
“Are you getting used to living there? About you and Han Yifeng…”
Xi Xiaye had actually almost forgotten the words ‘Han Yifeng’. It had been a long time since she had last thought of this name. She had once thought that she could not forget it, but now, it was just that.
When Xi Xiaye asked this, Xi Xinyi’s eyes immediately darkened, but she quickly returned to normal with a faint smile on her face—
“Sis, you shouldn’t worry about this. I can go see Xiao Zhe anytime now. I’m already very satisfied with that. I’m quite satisfied with this situation, but I need to thank you for all of this. Of course, there’s also Brother-in-law. Thank him for helping me back then. Every time I think about those things in the past, the person I feel most guilty about is you. I…”
When she reached the end, Xi Xinyi could not continue.
“Forget about those things. As long as everyone’s doing well, it’s fine. How many days do you plan to stay this time?”
Xi Xiaye looked at Xi Xinyi calmly. Seeing that her expression was a little stiff, she could only persuade her.
“I’m not sure yet. The report might take about three days. After I’m done, I plan to go back. Things over there are also very busy, so I definitely can’t stay here,” Xi Xinyi replied.
“What do you plan to do today then? Have you arranged the hotel you’re staying at?”
Xi Xiaye took the tea from Secretary Ding and brought it to Xi Xinyi. Have a cup of hot tea.”
“Thank you.”
Xi Xinyi took it and said softly, “It’s already arranged. I’m staying at Emperor Hotel.”
