Until she learned that Wang Defang was forced to step down, she didn't pay much attention to Ye's news, so her knowledge of these two influential figures, Ye Chengxuan and Ye Chengzhi, was almost blank!
For a moment, she felt that her head was about to explode. She didn't expect that the pervert who had been pestering her for three years was actually the CFO of the Ye Group. What made her even more unexpected was that Ye Chengxuan had spent so much effort, for
Just to let him spy on his younger brother?!
However, Ye's personal change only happened a year ago, but Ye Chengxuan had such a plan three years ago, that is to say, he would do this not because of the exposure of that incident.
What on earth is Ye Chengxuan thinking? Is the deep brotherhood that has always been there also an illusion?
But Ye Chengzhi is a really nice man. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes intrigues, so there is only one possibility.
She frowned and asked cautiously: "Mr. Ye, do you think your eldest brother is really nice to you?"
Ye Chengzhi was slightly startled and said matter-of-factly: "We Ye family children are famous for their deep brotherhood. Why would you ask that?"
Xia Haitong shook his head and said slowly: "Because I was thinking that after going through that incident, your family should have changed a lot, right? So..."
Speaking of this, Xia Haitong was embarrassed to continue, always feeling that it seemed to be a bit sowing discord. Ye Chengzhi glanced at her and said with a smile, "I understand your doubts, but in fact, the three of us brothers and sisters have been together for so many years.
We have long forgotten about the blood barrier. As for my mother’s matter, so many years have passed and my eldest brother and sister don’t mind.”
She nodded: "Well... I am worrying unfoundedly." She glanced at him awkwardly and unconsciously touched her head, "I'm sorry, I, I'm so troubled, Mr. Ye, please don't take it to heart.
.”
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it." After a slight pause, he said gently, "And don't call me Mr. Ye. How about you call me Chengzhi?"
Xia Haitong nodded stiffly: "Cheng, Chengzhi."
"Shout again?"
"Chengzhi."
He smiled knowingly: "Yes."
Xia Haitong's face turned red and she whispered, "You also tried to call me Haitong?"
He said softly: "Pittosporum sinensis."
Xia Haitong raised a bright smile. Now she was like a pure white camellia, innocent and childish.
He looked at her tenderly, staring at her smile, and there seemed to be some memories in his eyes.
It's a pity that this was just a moment, and Xia Haitong couldn't notice all this. If she could catch the strangeness in his eyes, maybe many things would be different in the future.
But, it's just maybe.
"You stay here tonight, and I will pick you up tomorrow." Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and his expression became serious, "Haitong, there is something I want to make clear to you first."
She tilted her head: "What's wrong?"
He took a breath, with a deep apology in his eyes: "Because my mother doesn't want me to focus on love now, so I hope only the two of us know about the relationship between you and me. Can you forgive me?
"
She nodded repeatedly: "It's understandable, of course! In fact, you don't have to consider me. I'm very grateful that you can let me stay by your side!"
"No! How can I not consider your feelings?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was a little harsh. He shook his head and said slowly, "I mean, you are my girlfriend now. It is my duty to take care of you. How can I not
Do you care about your feelings?"
"They're just friends."
Xia Haitong muttered in a low voice, her voice was as low as a mosquito's chirping, as if she was just saying this to herself, just to remind herself.
However, he heard it, and his heart felt a little lost.
However, Ye Chengzhi's expression was still so calm: "In short, I have wronged you."
She shook her head violently: "I'm not wronged, really not! Chengzhi, don't be so nice to me, don't be so gentle to me, I, I..."
"This is what I should do." After saying that, he hugged her gently, "Don't you hate me doing this to you?"
Xia Haitong looked at Ye Chengzhi flattered, and was held in his arms tenderly by Ye Chengzhi. She asked so gently and carefully if she disliked his gentleness. Not to mention that Xia Haitong was a woman, even if she was a man, she would not be able to say it.
I hate that word!
She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Chengzhi, the blush on her face deepened: "How could I hate you treating me like this, being treated like this by the CEO of Ye Group? If word gets out, I will have to wear a bulletproof vest when I go out on the street.
Wearing sunglasses and a mask.”
"Why?"
"Wearing sunglasses and a mask is so that no one can recognize me, so as not to be killed by someone's gaze. Wearing a bulletproof vest is the last layer of protection. If someone is discovered and wants to shoot me, it also has a guarantee."
He increased the strength in his hands, his soft smile remained the same, but his eyebrows became more serious, "I won't let anything happen to you, I will definitely protect you this time!"
Xia Haitong looked at him puzzled: "This time?"
He was slightly startled, then explained with a smile: "What I mean is, if I protect you well this time, you won't suffer in the future."
Xia Haitong quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "I'm joking with you, don't take it so seriously."
He nodded, and then released her: "You are tired too, don't think about anything tonight, have a good rest. I will pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow." After a slight pause, he seemed to have thought of something, "By the way,
Are you a student or already working?"
"I am a senior this year, and I will graduate in one semester. However, I have been doing internships since the second semester of my junior year. In fact, it feels like I have graduated."
"What university are you studying at?"
"Jiying International University Secretarial Major."
There was a hint of joy on his face: "So you are from Jinan University, majoring in secretarial work. This should be an emerging major?"
Jiying International University is a gathering place for all kinds of top students. With a diploma from this university, interns can earn more than 5,000 yuan a month, so Xia Haitong can rent a house in this land, even though it is old.
It was broke, but it cost her one thousand and fifty yuan in rent every month, plus her sister's medical expenses of at least two thousand yuan every month, so she had to work part-time to earn some extra money after her internship.
To be honest, Xia Haitong and Ding Xiaoqian were admitted to this school with difficulty. Fortunately, they majored in secretarial studies. Four years ago, this was a relatively unpopular major and not so many people competed for it. But now, it is becoming more and more popular.
.
But now Xia Haitong is no longer the Xia Haitong she was in her senior year of high school. After being abandoned by her parents, she became very diligent in studying. In addition to her situation, the counselor applied for a national scholarship for her. The amount is 7,000 per year, which is enough for her to study for a year.
With annual tuition and some miscellaneous fees, she is now a truly top student. The internship unit has made an agreement with her that when she graduates, she will be paid 10,000 yuan in the first three months, and then increased to 13,000 yuan, and there will be a year-end bonus and accommodation included!
If her sister hadn't suddenly become seriously ill with myocarditis, she really wouldn't have to sell herself. She could get a loan from the bank when she got a job. But, all of this was just a what-if.
She covered her mouth in surprise: "So, you are also a student at Jinan University? So you are my senior brother! Why have I never seen you before? Could it be that you had already graduated when I went to study?"
"No, you are a senior this year, about twenty-two years old, and you have never met me... That's because I went to Stan to study abroad after one year at JNU, majoring in finance and minoring in law."
Ye Chengzhi held back a trace of pain in his eyes, but he tried his best to hide it so that Xia Haitong could not notice it.
Xia Haitong looked at him with admiration: "I can guess that you must have obtained a double degree!"
"Yes." Ye Chengzhi replied calmly.
"Stan is a famous brand among famous brands. He can get a double degree from it. What a genius..."
Suddenly, Xia Haitong felt that Ye Chengzhi's image in her heart was high again. Ye Chengzhi, this man is so good and versatile!
"It's just a piece of paper, it's no big deal." Ye Chengzhi paused slightly and then said, "Since you are studying at JNU, I will get you a small villa nearby. Do you like European style, American style or French style?
"
"Actually, you don't have to live in a small villa, just..." Suddenly, she thought of a serious problem, and then she immediately changed her mind and said, "I want a European style one."
"Okay." Ye Chengzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Then you should rest quickly now. You have to get up early tomorrow."
"kindness."
Xia Haitong smiled. Originally, she wanted to say "I'll send you off," but she thought it was safer to stay in the room, so she swallowed the words.
"I'm leaving."
With that said, Ye Chengzhi stood up and left the room. As soon as he left, Xia Haitong's smile immediately filled the air. She lay back and fell on the comfortable and soft bed, but her heart could not feel better.
At the same time, in the banquet hall.
The lights were bright, the strings and bamboos were melodious, Ye Chengxuan shuttled among the crowd, chatting and laughing happily with the guests. Her face was always smiling. He dealt with everyone so well that no one noticed that his mind was not at all.
At this banquet.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure not far away. He rushed towards it with a concerned look on his face: "Chengzhi, why are you up? Do you feel better?"
Ye Chengzhi nodded, with a strange look on his face: "I'm feeling much better, so I got up and planned to go home. I was afraid my mother would be unhappy if I went back too late."
"Is everything okay? I'd better take you back to have a rest, right?"
Although Ye Chengxuan was smiling, his eyes shone with scrutiny.
"No, I'm really fine."
Ye Chengzhi's tone was still gentle, but he could not hide his guilty conscience.
Ye Chengxuan patted his shoulder: "It's okay. Do you plan to go back now?"
"Well, where's my brother? Can we come together?"
Ye Chengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled a little more at the corner of his mouth: "It's rare that you invite me to go home with you. Of course I will go back with you."
Ye Chengzhi shook his head and smiled: "The reason why Chengzhi didn't dare to invite eldest brother to go home with him before was because he knew that eldest brother had already been invited."
Ye Chengxuan raised his eyebrows: "In that case, how do you know that I don't have an appointment tonight?"
Ye Chengzhi smiled: "If eldest brother had made an appointment, he wouldn't be in the lobby at this time."
"Sure enough, no one knows me better than my brother. Didn't I promise to call you later? So I postponed many dates. Brother, how do you plan to compensate me for this loss?"
"How about Chengzhi being Big Brother's driver today?"
"good!"
after an hour.
The silver-black Lamborghini whizzed past on the straight road, and until it entered the tree-lined avenue, jealousy, envy, admiration and other eyes were no longer focused on it.
Ye Chengxuan held his chin, looked sideways at Ye Chengzhi beside him, and said with interest: "Aventador, as the successor of Go, what do you think?"
Ye Chengzhi shook his head: "I don't know much about cars, but I prefer go."
Ye Chengxuan squinted his eyes slightly, his brows becoming more serious: "Then why do you want to change?"
