exclusive favor

Chapter 15

The location of the birthday party was in a five-star hotel.

When Ye Xi got out of the car, she saw Qin Chen coming down from the other side, her eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of suspicion crossed her face.

"Just on the way." Qin Chen stopped after walking a few steps, and handed over the car keys sideways: "Put it in your bag?"

He was obviously asking for her permission, but what he said had an undeniable taste.

Ye Xi stood there, looking at him expressionlessly.

After a few seconds of silence, he reluctantly took the key from him.

If he helped her, he should return the favor.

The two entered the elevator one after the other, without speaking a word.

When they reached the seventh floor, Qin Chen politely asked her to go first.

Ye Xi stepped out of the elevator with a calm expression, followed by a clear breath behind him, and the man came out with him.

At this moment, she probably understood that what someone called a drop-in route was actually the same destination.

Mr. Shang Bai is well-known in the financial circle, so it's normal for him to befriend a director.

But this man didn't reveal a word to her the whole time, so he really couldn't hold back.

Entering the banquet hall, the appearance of the two immediately attracted the attention of many guests.

Ye Xi wore a CHANEL light-colored gauze skirt today, the cuffs were designed in the retro style of the court, and matched with the Chanel rhombic square bag, the whole temperament is refined, elegant and delicate.

The man next to him has the usual low-key style, a well-tailored shirt and trousers, and the only accessory is a precious steel watch of unknown price on his wrist.

Ye Xi glanced at her in the car before, recalling the time when they were together seven years ago, he stood in the tattoo parlor, tilted his head and asked her in a gentle voice: "How about engraving you on my heart."

"No, the tattoo artist is a woman, and you will be seen."

The man's eyes were loving and smiling, Ye Xi took his hand hanging by his side, and swore domineeringly: "Tattoo on your wrist, so that no matter what you do, you can see me."

In those years, in order not to block the two small letters, he hardly ever wore any brand of wristwatch.

During the immersion, there was a burst of greetings from many people not far away.

Her thoughts gradually returned.

When he raised his head again, he saw a figure stand up on the main seat in front of him, turned his head to explain a few words to the side, and then walked towards this side with the wine.

Shang Bai is over fifty years old and has been immersed in the business world for more than [-] years. Although he has retreated behind the scenes now, his status accumulated in the past, passing by all the way, everyone around him has to respectfully call him Mr. Shang.

Due to work reasons, Ye Xi seldom has time to go back to Nanshi, and she seldom spends time alone with Shang Bai during the few times they meet.

Her stepfather has his own aura, and he always gives her a sense of oppression when chatting a lot.

Shang Bai's self-prestige without anger is completely different from the appearance of her biological father deep in her memory.

So, after all, she chose to call the man uncle instead of father.

In less than a moment, the tall figure stood still in front of her.

"Uncle Shang."

When Ye Xi called for someone, he glanced to his side without any trace from the corner of his eye.

Hearing what she called Shang Bai, Qin Chen didn't seem too surprised. He took a step forward and shook hands with Shang Bai politely: "Mr. Shang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Director Qin took time out of his busy schedule to come here. It's been a hard journey." Shang Bai nodded with a smile, looked at Ye Xi next to him, and said softly, "Your mother is in the lounge next door, you go to accompany her first."

"it is good."

Before leaving, she glanced at Qin Chen indiscriminately, secretly swearing that this man is too face-saving, and asked Shou Xing to come and greet him in person.

When Ye Xi turned to leave, he vaguely heard Shang Bai say that he wanted to invite that man to his house in the afternoon.

In her impression, stepfather has rarely been so polite and considerate to any younger generation.

At such a young age, it's really amazing to mix up the director's status for this sake.

In the lounge, the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for almost half a year. Zhong Lan pulled Ye Xi to sit on the sofa, touched her cold hand and blamed, "It's cooling down today, why don't you wear more."

Seeing her daughter's exposed arms and legs, Zhong Lan quickly ordered someone to go upstairs to get a coat and come down.

Ye Xi stopped her and smiled helplessly: "Mom, it's not cold inside."

"There is no media today, and there is no need to walk on the red carpet. You should keep warm at ordinary times. You forgot what the doctor said before?"

"No, I dare not forget."

But there are some physical problems, which cannot be cured by wearing a few more clothes.

Ye Xi's eyes darkened, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.

The obvious emotional changes of her daughter fell into Zhong Lan's eyes, and she suddenly felt remorse.

After finally coming back, what are you talking about.

Zhong Lan's eyes were full of distress, and she stroked her daughter's hair lovingly with her hands: "Xi Xi, don't think about that, you are still young."

"Yes." She nodded slightly, leaning her head on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, is Uncle Shang treating you well?"

"He treats me very well." Zhong Lan said with tenderness between his eyebrows, "Your Uncle Shang obeys me and accommodates me in everything, just as good as your father was to me before."

She was actually relieved to leave her mother in Shang Bai's care.

Whether Ms. Zhong is lucky or not, Ye Xi knew it at the first sight.

The nanny is always around. On such a special occasion, the mother is arranged to hide in the lounge, and she is not willing to let her go out to chat with the guests.

The most important thing is that my mother's complexion is getting better and better, and the number of illness attacks has decreased a lot after moving to Nanshi.

Every detail shows that Shang Bai is really working hard on this belated marriage.

After the birthday party, Shang Bo ordered the driver to take the mother and daughter back to the villa first. At that time, Ye Xi subconsciously looked at the man standing aside, hesitating whether to give him the car keys in the bag now.

Qin Chen nodded slightly at her.

She understood, took out the key from the bag and handed it over.

"Thank you."

"Need not."

With two simple sentences back and forth, Ye Xi hugged his mother and said goodbye to Shang Bai: "Uncle Shang, let's go back first."

Watching the mother and daughter into the elevator, Shang Baiyi pointed out: "It seems that you and Xi Xi have a good relationship."

Qin Chen lowered his head and smiled: "Maybe I think so unilaterally."

As someone who has experienced it, Shang Bai naturally understands.

Patting the young man on the shoulder, he said half jokingly and half seriously: "It's a bit difficult to chase after my daughter."

After getting in the car, Zhong Lan also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the situation.

Ye Xi vetoed it without hesitation: "We are not familiar with each other, we just met a few times."

She kept her relationship with Qin Chen from her family for four years in college. Her mother was conservative and told her to focus on her studies.

In addition, his mother had just been diagnosed with a heart attack at that time, and her mood was very unstable, and she couldn't stand stimulation, so Ye Xi thought about everything, and could only act like a baby to Qin Chen, asking the two to talk quietly for a while.

In order to make him happy, she immediately swore that she would take him back to meet her parents as soon as she graduated.

It's just God's will to trick people, and there will never be such an opportunity again.

But Ye Xi also felt lucky at the same time.

Just imagine if mother really knew about the two of them back then, what happened three years ago might have irritated her even more.

　After the trip to Nanshi, the goddess will change a lot, and Director Qin's good days are coming.
