Chapter 1157: Five Years Later
Another year flew by and soon, it was 2032.
He Xiyan woke up to a bright and sunny morning. She blinked and suddenly jumped out of bed when she remembered what day it was. She hastily rushed to the restroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.
There was a parent-teacher meeting that day, so she had to be in school by 9 AM.
It was almost 8 AM, so she only had 30 minutes to do her makeup and finish her breakfast.
She wasn’t fussed about eating breakfast, but she had to do her makeup.
She was no longer a young woman and now that she was 36 years old, she couldn’t conceal the marks that time had left on her face even though she used the best skin care products. She had fine lines at the corners of her eyes and her skin was no longer as supple as it used to be.
Thankfully, she managed to maintain her figure. At 162 CM tall, she was only 46 KG, so she was neither too thin nor too plump and her figure was almost perfect.
He Xiyan slapped on some loose powder, put on some light eye makeup, and painted her lips cherry red in color.
She went downstairs to the dining hall after she finished doing her makeup and ate some bread and porridge out of habit.
Her daughter Xi Xi was now a sixth-grader. It was already her second semester at school and after this semester, Xi Xi would advance to middle school.
Time and tide wait for no man and she was also aging as her daughter continued to grow older.
She had paid careful attention to her daughter’s upbringing over the past few years and would fetch her to and from school, help her daughter with her homework, and occasionally take her two children out over the holidays.
She didn’t have a job, but she had made quite a few investments and was a shareholder of several companies. She had also joined a charity organization founded by her sister Shu Man and would occasionally take part in charity events. She would also go to public welfare schools to teach the children how to draw.
Her life was quiet and uneventful.
He Xiyan drove her daughter to school after breakfast. Xi Xi faced a certain amount of pressure at school as a sixth-grader, because she would soon have to take the middle school advancement examination. The school had mandated all sixth-graders to stay on campus, so Xi Xi could only stay at home over the weekends.
He Xiyan arrived at school around 9 AM and went to Xi Xi’s cla.s.s, number 605.
“Ye Zixi, your mom is here!” someone called the moment she entered the cla.s.sroom.
She quickly spotted her daughter.
Xi Xi was wearing her blue school uniform and her hair was swept back in a high ponytail. Her unique amber-colored eyes sparkled like gemstones.
Her cla.s.smates all made way for her as she walked toward her mom.
“Mom…” Xi Xi walked up to her mother and placed her hand on her mother’s shoulder.
She was very tall and even though she was only 11 years old, she was as tall as her mother.
He Xiyan pursed her lips into a smile. Her daughter was growing up to be a beauty and had inherited her dad’s good looks and height, so she was much prettier than her mother.
“Mom, please go over to the area meant for the parents. Dad is there too. The parent-teacher meeting will start in 20 minutes,” Xi Xi said with a smile.
“Your dad is here too?” He Xiyan asked in confusion.
Xi Xi nodded, “Yes.”
Ye Hao was talking to the other parents and they were all talking about their children. He would chime in once in a while.
Just as always, he was wearing a black suit that was completely handmade and tailored to fit. His suit cost at least 100,000 dollars. The other parents were also very rich and wealthy, but the sum of their fortunes was probably not even as much as Ye Hao’s net worth.
