Xie Yuchen said, "Yes, he’s going back to hold a shareholders’ eting." Of course, he also wants to see Gong Xiaoyu, but it’s inconvenient to say that.
"Hold a shareholders’ eting? Is his leg healed?"
"There’s significant progress. He can walk a few steps. The doctor says that with continuous rehabilitation, he can fully recover. Right now, he definitely can’t walk in front of others without revealing flaws. As long as arrangents are made to cover it up for a ti or two, by the ti others notice, he should be much better."
An Junxi felt relieved. Although Yue Xiaoyang had been awful to her senior, he was still a good friend who had taken care of her in the past.
"Is he really coming back just for the eting?"
Xie Yuchen wasn’t used to gossiping, especially when it involved emotions. He thought for a mont and said, "He saw the news about Gong Xiaoyu breaking off her engagent with Yu Zheng. We couldn’t stop him."
An Junxi couldn’t stay calm; Yue Xiaoyang’s intention was obvious.
"I understand."
An Junxi put her daughter to bed early, planning to find Yue Xiaoyang the next day.
Yue Xiaoyang’s return was so low-key that he hadn’t even t a few close friends. She didn’t know how much he had changed.
She wanted to talk to Yue Xiaoyang before her senior found out. If he still wasn’t sure what he wanted, he shouldn’t bother her senior.
The next morning when An Junxi woke up, she washed up and prepared to go out to buy groceries, which was her usual routine.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xiao Liu carrying two large bags, smiling brightly. "Good morning, Young Madam. This is your fresh food delivery service. Please check and accept."
An Junxi crossed her arms. "I’ve told you before, don’t call that. Also, I don’t need any food delivery service."
Xiao Liu’s smile turned into a frown. "Young Madam, if you don’t accept it, I won’t be able to explain when I get back."
An Junxi said, "I really don’t need it. Take it ho for your parents."
Hearing voices at the door, Mrs. He ca out and took the groceries. "Great, I was planning to cook these for lunch. Xiao Liu, continue delivering tomorrow."
Xiao Liu gratefully gave Mrs. He a thumbs-up and quickly ran downstairs. "I’ll be waiting downstairs for the young master."
Gu Jinxiu rubbed his eyes as he ca out. "Mommy, did you go out to buy groceries this early?"
Mrs. He said cheerfully, "It’s not bought; Xiao Liu delivered it. Guess who sent it?"
Gu Jinxiu’s eyes lit up. "Daddy!"
Mrs. He laughed, "I guess so too. Your dad knows how Mommy goes out early every day to buy groceries, and he must be worried."
Mrs. He winked at An Junxi as she spoke.
An Junxi rolled her eyes. She clearly didn’t want it, but Mrs. He insisted on accepting it.
What was Gu Yikun thinking? Sending so food and thinking it would win her over?
Gu Jinxiu laughed along. "Mommy, Daddy is so nice to you. Can I have your cooking tonight?"
An Junxi naturally agreed, "Sure, I’ll cook dinner tonight."
Gu Jinxiu clapped his hands. "Can I invite Daddy to join us for dinner?"
"No," An Junxi firmly refused. "I’m only cooking for two adults and two children. There’s not enough for another person."
Gu Jinxiu muttered, "Can’t I just eat a little less?"
An Junxi tapped his forehead. "If you invite Daddy over, I won’t cook anymore."
"Alright," Gu Jinxiu shrugged. "Won are so unpredictable."
An Junxi was amused and exasperated. "Hurry up and brush your teeth, wash your face, and eat breakfast. Xiao Liu is waiting downstairs. Don’t be late."
Gu Jinxiu went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. The bathroom was very small, as was the entire place. He wasn’t quite used to living there.
But what could he do? Mommy wanted to leave ho, so he had to follow.
Gu Jinxiu was worried. When would Mommy and Daddy make up?
After breakfast, An Junxi and Gu Jinxiu said goodbye to Ai Xi. The baby said, "Co back soon, don’t get lost."
Gu Jinxiu kissed his sister. "How could big brother get lost? I’m the smartest in school."
The little one wanted to go to school with him. Gu Jinxiu also wanted to show off his sister. He asked An Junxi, "Mommy, can we bring my sister to pick up from school tomorrow?"
Mrs. He laughed. "Young Master, your classmates will be so jealous to see such a cute little sister."
Gu Jinxiu was proud. He did want that reaction. "Mommy, is it okay?"
"We’ll see how you behave. Your German teacher said you didn’t hand in your howork yesterday."
An Junxi didn’t want to ntion the howork issue, as Jinxiu had his own plans, and she didn’t want to interfere too much.
Gu Jinxiu frowned. "The teacher is so untrustworthy. He promised not to tell my parents. Next ti, I’ll teach him about our Chinese etiquette and morals."
An Junxi exaggeratedly said, "Young Master is impressive, knowing about our Chinese etiquette and morals at such a young age."
Gu Jinxiu raised his head proudly. "Of course."
They went downstairs together and got into the car. After dropping Gu Jinxiu off at school, An Junxi headed to her company. Near noon, she asked Xiao Liu to take her to the Yue family.
It was her first visit to the Yue family’s ho. Mrs. Yue was in poor health and had been on dication for years, rarely attending gatherings. She even missed Ai Xi’s birthday.
Mrs. Yue greeted her, and An Junxi handed her a gift. "I’m sorry for dropping by so suddenly."
Shen Lan said, "I’ve watched Yikun and Xiaoyang grow up. You’re Yikun’s wife, which makes you family. I’m happy you ca to visit. Why didn’t Yikun co with you?"
During Xiaoyang’s accident, Yikun had done a lot for Teng Xia Industries, but she never had the chance to properly thank him.
These kids grew up before her eyes, and now they each excelled in their own right. She truly felt old.
An Junxi said, "Yikun is busy at the company today, so I ca alone." She didn’t want to discuss their marital issues with others and didn’t elaborate.
After chatting for a while, An Junxi shifted the topic to Yue Xiaoyang.
Mrs. Yue’s face clouded with worry. "He almost lost his life in the United States. I knew nothing about it at ho, really..."
An Junxi said, "Xiaoyang is strong. He made it through. I heard from Yuchen that his recovery is going well, so don’t worry too much, Auntie."
Shen Lan knew An Junxi wanted to see Xiaoyang. "I’ll take you to see him and have a chat. He’s beco quieter since he ca back."
They walked to the garden and made a round before reaching the gym at the back of the house.
Shen Lan said, "He does his recovery treatnt every morning. It pains to watch him."
Through the window, An Junxi saw Yue Xiaoyang practicing walking with the help of equipnt. Winter was approaching, but he only wore a thin shirt and was sweating from the effort.
It was evident that the recovery treatnts were painful. To stand again, he must be enduring a lot of hardship.
He looked much thinner. Though he had always been a robust, martial artist, his fra now appeared weak. The once noble and charming aura was subdued, replaced with a solitary pride.
