223 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (34)

This trip invisibly changed the relationship between the two.

Xue Xue and Chi Yu had different feelings, but they made a tacit agreement not to mention it.

As the new year approaches, “Laiyao” holds a grand tail-end party.

All employees of the company can participate. Xue Xue handed over the matter to the experienced secretary Chen. On the day of the banquet, they directly booked a floor of the hotel and invited several groups of singers to perform for the fun. As for the final climax, it was naturally a lottery draw.

Although the internal shareholder structure of “Laiyao” has been turbulent this year, it has achieved significant growth in revenue, gross profit margin, operating profit margin and other aspects. The stock price has reached a new high, and it is not stingy in terms of prizes.

The biggest prize is a million-dollar luxury car, with taxes partly absorbed by the company.

When Xue Xue came on stage to deliver a speech and personally selected the lucky employee, the event ended in a warm atmosphere.

The entire event was expected to end at nine o’clock, but it was already past ten o’clock when Xue Xue finished the party. Secretary Chen, who was supposed to take her home, received a call from his wife just after greeting Xue Xue.

“Hello…huh? What are you talking about? Yangyang has a fever? I know, but I…why don’t you take a taxi…huh? No…I’ve already talked to you…”

Xue Xue waited for Secretary Chen to hang up the phone before asking, “Your son has a fever?”

Yangyang is Secretary Chen’s old son. Although he was born unexpectedly, he is very popular with Secretary Chen and his wife. He has just entered the fourth grade of elementary school this year.

“Yes, he started to have a runny nose a few days ago. I was supposed to take him to the doctor, but my wife…” Secretary Chen stopped speaking, with a rather annoyed expression on his face.”Oh, it’s pointless to talk about this now… But don’t worry, boss, I will take you back first.”

Hearing this, Xue Xue shook his head at him.

“Your child has a fever, you’d better go home and take a look first.”

When Secretary Chen heard what Xue Xue said, he felt shaken for a moment, but he was still a little hesitant when he thought of his responsibilities.

“This…”

Xue Xue and Secretary Chen have been getting along for a long time, so they naturally know the man’s loyal character.

“Just take it as the boss’s order.” Xue Xue folded his arms and said lazily.”The boss now orders you to go home and take your son to see a doctor.”

Secretary Chen looked at Xue Xue standing under the lamppost. The light and shadow cast a soft color on her white and tender skin. She was less serious than she was used to with a straight face at work, and her face was much more approachable.

Secretary Chen was in a daze for a moment.

It is true that Xue Li is a woman with both means and abilities. The achievements she has made in just a few years since she took over “Laiyao” can stop those who want to talk. However, no matter how outstanding her performance is, it is inevitable that there will still be gossips behind the scenes.

Those comments are not objective and are mixed with personal jealousy, dissatisfaction and resentment. However, when those people talk behind Xue Li’s back, they often forget that in ordinary people’s lives, she is just a young person who has just stepped out of society and may still be thinking about the future direction of her life.

Others may not know the situation of the Xue family, but Secretary Chen knows it very well. Although Xue Li has a proud background since birth, Xue Li’s childhood is definitely not related to happiness.

As both parents, he really couldn’t understand the cruelty of Xue Zhen and Yang Qingmei. In Secretary Chen’s eyes, although Xue Li was a boss who needed to be respected, she was also a little girl who had lacked love since childhood, which made people feel distressed.

Because of this, he couldn’t help but want to care more about the other person. Some people once joked that his secretary was no different from a nanny.

“Mr. Xue…”

Xue Xue glanced at her, and Secretary Chen immediately understood. After settling the excess emotions in his heart, he bowed to her.

“Thank you.”

Xue Xue waved his hand and confirmed that Secretary Chen’s figure had disappeared into the night before slowly turning around and walking in another direction.

She planned to walk for a while to relieve her flatulence and then take a taxi on the street.

However, just a few minutes after Xue Xue walked forward, a low-key black car drove up to her and honked its horn.

Xue Xue tilted his head, and what came into view first was the animal symbol symbolizing honor and luxury, and then a familiar set of numbers.

The car window was rolled down, and Xue Xue’s question was quickly answered.

The person coming is Xue Dehui.

“Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”

Xue Xue frowned and hesitated.

However, Xue Dehui had already opened the back seat door. Seeing that the man seemed insistent, she thought for a moment and finally got into his car.

The back seat is spacious and fully equipped.

The car smelled faintly of cologne, a very mature masculine scent that was not unpleasant.

“Where are you going?” Xue Dehui, who adjusted the air conditioner and restarted the car, looked at Xue Xue in the rearview mirror and asked.”Will it be too cold?”

“No.” Xue Xue pulled down her loose shawl and answered Xue Dehui’s words.”Apartment on Huhai Road.”

“Won’t you go home and take a look?”

Go home?Isn’t she going home?

Xue Xue couldn’t react for a while until he heard Xue Dehui say: “You haven’t gone back to see dad for a long time.”

Only then did Xue Xue suddenly realize that the home that Xue Dehui mentioned was the home of Xue Zhen and Gao Yinyin.

“He wouldn’t want to see me either.”

Xue Xue didn’t know what Xue Dehui’s purpose was, but she learned from Xue Li’s memory that the last time the father and daughter met was during the Chinese New Year last year. It was obviously a day for family reunion, but they still broke up on bad terms.

After hearing what Xue Xue said, Xue Dehui was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic that made Xue Xue feel baffled: “Xiangxiang is pregnant, Fu Qingyu’s child.”

“…I know.” Xue Xue paused and said with a hint of probing.”I heard Chi Yu mentioned it.”

At that time, the two of them were fighting fiercely on the bed. Chi Yu suddenly said such a sentence. When Xue Xue heard it, he just had a feeling of “Sure enough,” but there was no more emotion.

So she just responded lightly.

Probably quite satisfied with her calmness, Chi Yu never mentioned this matter again in the next few days. He didn’t expect to hear it again from Xue Dehui now.

There is a subtle sense of dissonance.

But what made Xue Xue feel even more inconsistent was Xue Dehui’s next question.
