Suddenly, Ye Yan’s mobile phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, the corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking sneer. He answered the call and immediately put it on speaker mode, and placed his phone on the table.
“Good evening, President Ye. This is Xiao Qi, the CEO of Xiao Corporation. Do you still remember me?” Xiao Qi’s voice was respectful and earnest.
Xiao Han, who was drawing a card, froze for a moment. Raising his eyes, he stared at the phone screen, his gaze contemptuous and disdainful.
“Of course I remember, we just met this morning.” Ye Yan’s tone was unexpectedly friendly. “As a matter of fact, we can be considered relatives. As Chinese people say, we should be called…”
He raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly as he looked at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han cast him a disdainful glance and threw a King of spades on the table.
“Brothers-in-law! Brothers-in-law! Ha ha!” Xiao Qi laughed as he quickly said this.
“Oh, yes.” Ye Yan threw an Ace of hearts.
Xiao Qi asked cautiously, “President Ye, when will you be free? I would like to treat you to a meal and also to discuss the issue we talked about the previous time.”
“What issue?” Ye Yan threw down his last hand, a straight flush, and won the game against Xiao Han. Xiao Han pouted. Picking up the wine glass, he gracefully swirled it. Calmly, he stared at the phone screen, as if he was watching a clown performing.
“It’s… about the capital injection.” Xiao Qi said especially carefully, fearing that Ye Yan would hang up.
Ye Yan did not respond to him. He picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Xiao Han’s. Leisurely, he sipped the wine.
Xiao Qi immediately added, “My fiancée also wants to discuss this matter with you, I wonder if you’ll grant us this honour.”
Xiao Han’s eyes narrowed slightly, and flickered with a terrifying chilliness. She never liked to ask others for help. Yet now, she was helping Xiao Qi to ask others for help? Had she changed, or was it that she really loved Xiao Qi so deeply?
“Oh, if she personally steps in then that’s different.” Ye Yan’s mouth turned up in a beautiful arc, and his amber eyes twinkled with an unusual brilliance. “After all, I owe her a huge favor.”
“Hehe, you’re too polite…” Xiao Qi heaved a sigh of relief. “In that case President Ye, do you have some time to spare tomorrow night? How about we meet up?”
“If I remember correctly, both of you are going to get married in two days? The time tomorrow night is too precious, I shouldn’t hold you two up.” Ye Yan put down his wine glass, and the waiter quickly refilled half a glass of wine for him.
“That…”
“How about now.” Ye Yan lifted his wine glass, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “You can bring her along to my yacht to find me. We can talk face-to-face.”
“Sure, sure, sure. We’ll come over immediately!” Xiao Qi was overjoyed.
“Nanjue Sea!” With that, Ye Yan hung up the phone and looked up at Xiao Han. “The moment that you’ve been looking forward to has finally arrived. Let’s see how he wags his tail and begs for pity at your feet later!”
“This is far from enough!” Xiao Han drained the wine in his glass in one gulp. He sneered eerily, “I want his whole family to kneel before me.”
Xiao Han plonked his wine glass down heavily and stood up. “I’m going to the Xiao family’s house. I’ll leave things here to you. That woman…” He paused and said lightly, “Don’t make things difficult for her.”
“Oh, since when have you been so kind and protective towards women?” Ye Yan looked at him laughingly.
Xiao Han smiled but did not say anymore. He made a hand gesture and an attendant immediately went to prepare the motorboat. When he left, he reminded Ye Yan again, “Yan, remember our agreement. After we succeed in this matter, I’ll definitely get Yuyao to go back to you!”
“OK!” Ye Yan looked at his back as he left. He shook his head and lamented, “To think that I, Ye Yan, actually have to turn to someone for help for that girl!”
“Hehe, there’s nothing you can do about it!” Zhao Jun smiled and said, “Ms. Yuyao only listens to Young Master Han.”
