Chapter 494: 304 The Mayor Makes a House Call!_2
Xia Xian glanced quickly at the bar area: “That, President Jiang brought his driver today, a small toast should be okay, right?”
As he spoke, he took out several sterilized glasses from the cabinet and then began to select the liquor.
Shen Jing, the driver, courteously said, “What are you looking for, Mr. Xia? Let help you.”
Since it was New Year’s Eve, Jiang Xuan ca to visit the Xia family and also brought him along.
Shen Jing was delighted and had made a point of ntioning it to Dong Mao, who was far away in China, before leaving.
It wasn’t to show off, oh no!
Xia Xian tugged at his earring: “No need, no need, you all just sit down, I’ve placed these bottles in such a ss, not to ntion you, even I can’t find them…”
He hissed lightly, muttering to himself: “I rember there was a bottle of Henry IV brandy around here sowhere, where did I put it…”
Jiang Xuan’s deep voice ca from behind: “Count up to the fourth row, the second from the left.”
“Count up to the fourth row, the second from the left…” With the hint from Jiang Xuan, Xia Xian counted and searched, and indeed, in the correct spot, he found his bottle of Henry IV Dupont Cognac Brandy.
This liquor was valuable, as evident by the 5,600 diamonds embedded on the bottle.
But in the next second, Xia Xian’s hand, about to close the liquor cabinet, suddenly paused.
He turned around, puzzled: “President Jiang, how do you know where this liquor is?”
Wasn’t this President Jiang’s first visit?
Jiang Xuan wasn’t flustered, and his fingers, tucked in the pocket of his dress pants, gave a little twist: “I have quite good eyesight, I saw it.”
Xia Xian gauged the distance between himself and President Jiang at the mont.
His house was a villa, and even if it was a compact model, it was still a large villa!
Could he really see that clearly from such a distance?
This was not just far-sightedness, this kind included taking turns!
Fortunately, Xia Ye tily ca down from upstairs, diverting Xia Xian’s attention just in ti.
A gender-neutral mini dress suit in maple leaf red, the color had such a texture.
Handso without concealing gender, both sweet and cool, casual and generous, the aesthetic was more Western, not at all complicated or contrived.
It couldn’t be more fitting for Xia Ye.
What Xia Ye didn’t know was that there was only one such dress in the world, unique.
Xia Xian and Shen Jing were both dazzled.
For a mont, they didn’t know whether to complint Xia Ye’s beauty or the beauty of the dress.
Bru, who was enjoying a New Year’s Eve al, suddenly found the food at his mouth less appetizing.
And why did it feel like… the owner looked even more attractive than before?
On the left cuff of Xia Ye’s dress, a small animal’s simplified pattern was embroidered with silver thread, noticeable only when the sleeve rotated and reflected the light.
Xia Xian: “What’s embroidered there?”
Knowing the CEO always paid close attention to Miss Xia, Shen Jing suggested: “Could it be Miss Xia’s zodiac animal?”
As they spoke, everyone crowded closer to examine the pattern, which seed not to match any of the twelve zodiac signs and instead more resembled a fluffy, plump little fox.
The doorbell rang, and the Filipino maid hurried to open the door; a mont later, she ca back with a look of frantic excitent barely concealed.
“Mr. Xia, there are, there are guests!”
Xia Xian’s brows furrowed slightly. Wasn’t it normal to have guests during the New Year? She was flustered enough to make President Jiang chuckle.
“Who are the visitors?” he asked, unfazed.
Taking a deep breath, the maid replied: “It’s our honorable mayor!”
Pus had humbly given only his na without introducing himself, but the maid had seen Mayor of Pus City on television, and she had even voted for him in the mayoral election!
He was the only political figure she supported!
As soon as the words “the honorable mayor” were spoken, the playful expression on Xia Xian’s handso face tightened, and he repeated in a low voice, almost in disbelief: “Are you sure? Are you sure it’s the Mayor of Pus City?”
There wasn’t an issue with his diamond mine, was there?
No, if there really was an issue, it would have been the police coming to call.
With no ti for further thought, Xia Xian adjusted his tie and went to greet the guest himself.
Shen Jing whispered in awe: “Mr. President, to have the mayor himself co knocking, that’s no small connection. I hadn’t realized Mr. Xia was so influential out here on the border.”
Jiang Xuan arched an eyebrow in surprise as well.
He seed quite familiar with Pus, so he was particularly surprised that Xia Xian knew Pus.
However, when Xia Xian finally escorted the honored guest into the house and everyone sat down in the living area, it beca clear to everyone that the mayor wasn’t here for Xia Xian, but rather…
Pus had clung to Xia Ye’s hand for the five minutes since he entered, unable to stop the tears of emotion.
“Yeye looks exactly like her benefactor, God bless. The Xia family’s excellent genes have been passed on. If our ancestors have spirits in heaven, they must be imnsely comforted.”
