Chapter 299 Seeing Miss Dong Again
Chapter 299 Seeing Miss Dong Again
Everything proceeded so naturally, and after a passionate encounter, the ambiguous atmosphere inside the car gradually dissipated.
Song Yafei sat back in the passenger seat, straightened her clothes, and looked at me as I fastened my belt.
"Would you like to come to the company with me?"
I refused, saying, "I'll take you to the company first. I have an appointment with Uncle Zhao later, and I need to meet a client."
Song Yafei didn't make things difficult for me, but she suddenly moved closer to me, her gaze intense and her eyes filled with anticipation.
I don't understand why she suddenly became happy again?
She said with absolute certainty, "You still care about me, don't you?"
I frowned at her words. "Did your behavior these past few days cause you to misunderstand? If so, I can explain."
Before I could finish speaking, Song Yafei interrupted me.
“I don’t need you to explain, I can feel it myself. I can even guess that you’re unwilling to admit it because you’re afraid, afraid that one day you’ll lose control.”
"I'm also afraid that one day the hurt I caused you will be repeated on you, right?"
I don't know if she's right or wrong, but at least for now, I have no words to refuse her.
Turning to look out the window, I advised her, "Don't waste your time on me. Apart from the child, we will have no further contact."
Song Yafei ignored my words and was not saddened by them.
Sometimes I don't understand her thought process either, so I didn't say anything more, started the car and drove her to the Song family's building.
Then I drove to meet up with Uncle Zhao.
Uncle Zhao originally lived in a villa, but later found it inconvenient and moved to a hotel.
Actually, this meeting with Uncle Zhao was also about the cooperation with the Song Group. Uncle Zhao has been in charge of managing it all along, and I only occasionally inquire about it.
When we arrived at the hotel where Uncle Zhao was staying, he had already placed the organized documents on the table.
After entering his room, he immediately showed me the preview and had me sign it.
Uncle Zhao brought up the matter again, telling his maternal grandparents about Xiao Xiaotian's existence.
Previously, I had concerns that I didn't want my grandparents to be disappointed.
But this time Uncle Zhao told me, "Actually, Chairman Su has a wide network of connections. Letting him know might expand the search for bone marrow for the young master, which would be a good thing."
Uncle Zhao's words struck a chord with me. "That is indeed a good idea, but I don't want them to be disappointed."
Uncle Zhao patted my shoulder and said, "It's already a rare privilege for an elderly person to see the next generation again. Even if something unexpected happens, it's not as fragile as you think."
"Besides, with modern medical technology being so advanced, there will be a solution."
I was successfully persuaded, "Okay, I'll call Grandpa tonight and tell him what's going on."
"This is the right thing to do."
After reviewing the documents in Uncle Zhao's room and discussing some matters with him, I left.
But while I was downstairs, I received a call from Lin Qiuran, who invited me to sit in the tea room on the second floor.
"Stop with the formalities, I'm in a hurry to get back and take care of Xiao Xiaotian. If you need anything, come find me downstairs."
After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone and waited for him downstairs.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into Miss Dong and her husband, Xu Sanshao.
Oops!
If I had known I would run into those two, I would have gone straight upstairs.
Not wanting Lin Qiuran to see them, she immediately sent him a text message.
However, judging from Ms. Dong and her husband, their relationship did not seem to have improved.
It's a pity that after all these years, Young Master Xu is still not that moved by Miss Dong.
But how long can Xu Sanshao's enthusiasm last?
Will Ms. Dong only realize her mistake when he decides to let go?
I turned my body to the side and turned my head away, not wanting them to see me.
But Ms. Dong still managed to find out.
She acted as if she hadn't noticed my avoidance and came up to greet me.
"Zhang Tian, you're back."
Xu Sanshao stood beside her, nodded to me, and remained as gentle and refined as ever.
"Yes, I have some things to take care of when I get back."
Looking closely at Miss Dong, she is somewhat different from her previous flamboyant self. Although she is still arrogant and rude, her eyes are no longer as clear.
She exuded an aura of authority.
However, she was more reserved in front of me, though she still spoke as freely as before.
"I heard that after you and Song Yafei divorced, you went to Hancheng. Your restaurant is doing well, and you've opened quite a few branches in the past two years, even during the lockdown. Congratulations!"
It's unclear whether she deliberately sought out information or simply heard it from others.
If you really inquired, you would know that Lin Qiuran and Han Nian are currently in charge.
However, The Green was also a brand I founded, so hearing her praise made me happy.
"Miss Dong has done a great job these past few years, managing the Dong Group very well. I believe it will soon be under your control, right?"
A look of confidence flashed in Miss Dong's eyes. "Then I'll take your good wishes."
"Song Yafei, does she know you're back?"
After asking, she seemed to realize she had been abrupt, and quickly took back her words, saying, "Never mind, I was just saying it offhand. I'm leaving now."
She may not have left physically, but her soul has been lost.
I was a little curious, and following her gaze, I saw Lin Qiuran coming out of the hotel.
Oops!
We still ran into each other!
Didn't Lin Qiuran see the message I sent?
Asking someone to avoid the situation at this point would seem rather secretive.
I noticed that Xu Sanshao had also seen it, and he looked very forlorn.
Just when I was wondering how to avoid this awkward situation, thankfully Ms. Dong took the initiative to walk away.
She turned her gaze away, her eyes filled with reluctance, yet she resolutely walked forward.
"I'm leaving, goodbye."
After Miss Dong had walked 20 meters, Young Master Xu still hadn't caught up.
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to leave? Are you waiting for me to come and fetch you?"
Miss Dong urged Xu Sanshao on the roadside, and he then greeted me and hurriedly followed.
Lin Qiuran arrived late, watching the direction Miss Dong and Young Master Xu had left in.
"What's wrong with these two? They've been married for so many years, but they still look like strangers. This Young Master Xu isn't very reliable!"
I was worried that Lin Qiuran would feel uncomfortable seeing Miss Dong again, but I didn't expect him to be able to face it so calmly.
It seems that he has changed quite a bit over the years.
I couldn't help but tease him, "This Young Master Xu is quite patient. Miss Dong has changed quite a bit. I wonder if she and he will have a good outcome."
Lin Qiuran nodded, "Yes, she will. It's rare to meet someone who treats her like this. If she missed out on even Xu Sanshao, who else could catch her eye!"
"That makes sense."
However, my concern is that if too much time passes and Xu Sanshao decides to let go, Miss Dong will only belatedly realize how good Xu Sanshao is.
By then it was too late.
I never imagined that my concern would actually come true later on.
