"Where did you hear this news?" Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.
"Is it true or not?" Ye Yanxi didn't answer his question.
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Yu turned his head and glanced at her. There was no emotion in his dark eyes. "Are you happy for him, or..."
However, his tone seemed to hint at an approaching storm.
Ye Yanxi rolled her eyes and then smiled. Her eyes were filled with amusement. "So, what do you think? Should I be happy, or..."
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Xiao Yu's face instantly darkened. "You're happy for him?"
Look, this man is really narrow - minded. He can't even take a little joke. Ye Yanxi rolled her eyes at him.
This man seems so mature on the surface, but sometimes he can be as stubborn as a three - year - old child.
Ye Yanxi smiled coquettishly. She really wanted to tease him. "If I'm happy for him, what will you do? If I'm not, what will you do then?"
"I'm asking you." Xiao Yu's voice became a bit more fiery.
Ye Yanxi blurted out what was on her mind. "You're the great president of the Xiao Group. Why are you so stubborn? You get jealous so easily."
Xiao Yu's face darkened even more. "You still haven't answered my question."
It seemed that if she didn't answer, Xiao Yu wouldn't let it go. Ye Yanxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing Xiao Yu looking bewildered, Ye Yanxi finally spoke. "I'm not concerned about how he is. I'm worried that since you've signed such a big contract with him, your three billion might go down the drain."
Seeing that Ye Yanxi wasn't worried about Chu Beize, Xiao Yu's expression softened a bit.
"So..." Xiao Yu's pupils darkened a bit, and his eyes became softer. "You're worried about me?"
After all that, Xiao Yu still wanted to confirm again and again. Ye Yanxi really wanted to call him stupid, but she managed to hold it back.
"I have nothing to do with him anymore. If you really want to draw a connection between us, he's probably your nephew." Ye Yanxi helplessly stated her stance.
It seemed that her words finally reassured Xiao Yu. His face returned to normal, and he seemed quite satisfied with her answer.
Only then did Xiao Yu answer her previous question. "Since you still know whose side you're on, you don't need to worry about the contract. As for the money, not a single cent will be missing."
Ye Yanxi frowned. Since Xiao Yu didn't want to say, there was no way she could force it out of him.
It was just a moment of curiosity. Since he didn't want to talk, Ye Yanxi immediately lost interest. As long as he knew what he was doing and had a plan in mind, it was fine. If she said too much, it might annoy him.
No matter what happened to Chu Beize in the end, it had nothing to do with her.
During the eight years they were together, she had revolved around Chu Beize. Now, she had let it all go. So his affairs had nothing to do with her anymore.
Even during the time they were together, it was just a misunderstanding. Fate had just led them back to their right paths.
Now, the most important thing was to be with Xiao Yu and be responsible for the baby in her belly.
Although Xiao Yu didn't say much about the contract he signed with Chu Beize, Ye Yanxi still managed to get a bit of information from others.
It turned out that this matter was related to the vice - president. She got the information from that vice - president.
Since there was no suitable candidate to replace Ye Yanxi in the short term, she had to continue serving as the minister of the external liaison department. The sports meeting had successfully ended before the National Day.
One day, the student union needed to hold an internal meeting to discuss the affairs of the student union this semester. Ye Yanxi sat on one side listening to the president's impassioned speech. After a lively discussion, everyone unanimously finalized the plan after the National Day.
After the meeting, the vice - president couldn't wait to take out a bag and put all the materials into it.
Although Ye Yanxi wasn't very interested in famous brands, she occasionally read fashion magazines. She almost immediately recognized that the bag in the vice - president's hand was the latest LV model this year. The watch on her wrist, inlaid with small diamonds around it, was also extremely expensive. The afternoon sun shone obliquely into the office, and the diamonds were so shiny that they almost blinded people's eyes.
There were three vice - presidents in the student union. Besides her, there was one male and one female. Another girl was quickly attracted by the watch on her wrist and exclaimed in surprise. Everyone turned their gazes to her.
"Liu Yuanyuan, that LV bag of yours is the latest model this year, right? And this shiny diamond watch. It must cost at least a million!"
Liu Yuanyuan seemed to be showing off. She deliberately raised her wrist. As if she thought it wasn't ostentatious enough, she casually ran her fingers across her ear. Naturally, the diamond earrings under her ear were also extremely dazzling. Paired with the necklace around her neck, which was either sapphire or something else, it was simply eye - catching to the extreme.
Most of the people present were students who didn't pay much attention to luxury goods. Naturally, they couldn't estimate the value of her outfit. But after the other vice - president said that, the others could guess that it was probably very expensive.
After showing off proudly, Liu Yuanyuan received the envious or curious looks from around her with great satisfaction. She said casually, "Oh, it's nothing. It's not worth much."
One of the vice - presidents, for some reason, sneered and said, "Everyone knows that you've always used your body to support yourself. Why is your sugar daddy so generous recently?"
Originally, everyone was looking at Liu Yuanyuan with great envy. But as soon as this was said, the looks around her all turned into ridicule and contempt.
But Liu Yuanyuan didn't care about being criticized at all. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.
She snorted coldly, looking extremely arrogant. She puffed out her proud chest, pursed her charming red lips, showing an extremely charming look. As she spoke, she even threw a flirtatious look at that vice - president. Her hair casually brushed against the other person's arm, and that vice - president's expression clearly became a bit stiff.
"I can make them willingly spend money on me. That's my ability." Liu Yuanyuan disdainfully glanced at the vice - president, with a mocking smile on her lips. "People like you, losers, just have the mentality of sour grapes."
That vice - president was obviously no match for Liu Yuanyuan and immediately lost face.
It was another female vice - president who quickly changed the topic. She was afraid that if they continued talking, something bad might happen. "Liu Yuanyuan, tell us. Why is your sugar daddy so generous recently? Tell us so we can be envious."
"I'm not afraid of you knowing!" Liu Yuanyuan arrogantly tossed her curly hair. "It's Young Master Chu from the Chu Group."
The meeting had already ended. Most people didn't like Liu Yuanyuan's behavior, so they left one after another. Ye Yanxi also intended to get up and leave, but when she suddenly heard the words "Young Master Chu from the Chu Group", she stopped in her tracks, sat back down, looking thoughtful.
"The Chu Group?" Some others showed great curiosity. "Isn't that the Young Master Chu who married the daughter of the He Consortium some time ago? You'd better be careful. You can't afford to offend the daughter of the He Consortium."
Liu Yuanyuan just smiled indifferently. "The daughter of the He Consortium has already been locked up. She doesn't have the ability to interfere in so many things anymore."
"What? The daughter of the He Consortium is in jail. That can't be true. I haven't heard about it." That person was even more surprised.
"Of course you wouldn't know." Liu Yuanyuan said proudly. "Anyway, Young Master Chu and that young lady are about to get divorced soon."
"Are you going to become Mrs. Chu in the future?"
"Who can say for sure?" Liu Yuanyuan finally slowly finished packing her materials, picked up her bag and was about to leave. "My Young Master Chu has just signed a big order worth three billion. He's celebrating. I have to go and accompany him. I won't talk to you guys anymore. Bye."
After saying that, Liu Yuanyuan swayed her hips and walked out of the meeting room, leaving behind a pungent smell of perfume.
Ye Yanxi frowned tightly, looking in the direction where Liu Yuanyuan left.
When did Chu Beize get together with Liu Yuanyuan?
Chu Beize had just signed a contract with the Xiao Group, and now he was celebrating and squandering money. It seemed that before the project even started, he was already getting cocky. The project funds might just disappear like a meat bun thrown at a dog.
The people who hadn't left in the meeting room naturally gathered in twos and threes, discussing Liu Yuanyuan, of course.
"You know, Liu Yuanyuan really has some skills. Maybe she'll become Mrs. Chu in the future."
"I think so too. Look at her outfit. It's all money."
"By the way, Minister Ye, today when I saw you and Vice - President Liu standing together, at first glance, you two look quite similar." Suddenly someone looked at her and said.
Ye Yanxi looked up in surprise. After being called out, she pointed at her nose in confusion. "Me?"
"Yes."
Then others also echoed. "Now that you mention it, I also think so. Especially your facial shapes. If Vice - President Liu wears a bit of light makeup, she might look even more like you."
Ye Yanxi smiled awkwardly. "It means my facial shape is very common."
"Not at all, Minister Ye. You're so modest. You're very beautiful and have a good personality. We all regard you as our goddess. But, Minister Ye... What do you think of me?" At this moment, a junior seemed to gather his courage and stood up. His eyes were bright as he stared at Ye Yanxi and asked.
Ye Yanxi just felt extremely embarrassed.
When young people got together, they were bound to be a bit lively. As soon as they heard what that junior said, everyone immediately started to boo, saying things like "get together".
Ye Yanxi felt a bit uncomfortable sitting there. She stood up and said calmly, "Sorry, I have to leave first. I have something else to do."
Then she also left the meeting room and prepared to go downstairs.
The matter of the student union was over for now. Next, she had to deal with the exams. She had to hurry up and read some books.
After getting downstairs, Ye Yanxi headed straight for the library.
But she was still a bit worried about Chu Beize's matter. She wanted to call Xiao Yu and talk to him about it, asking him to think it over carefully.
But after waiting for a while, the phone prompted that it was turned off.
After being stunned for a second, Ye Yanxi suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu was going on a business trip to another place today. He had specifically told her in the morning.
It should be about time for the round - trip today. She thought that at this time, Xiao Yu was probably on the plane on his way back, so his phone was turned off.
Thinking of this, Ye Yanxi put down her phone and walked towards the library. But when she looked up, she saw Liu Yuanyuan standing not far away.
Liu Yuanyuan was on the phone, looking a bit anxious.
Ye Yanxi actually didn't want to have too much contact with her and naturally didn't intend to make friends with her. They were on different tracks, and there really shouldn't be any intersection. After thinking about it, Ye Yanxi wanted to bypass her and walk on the other side.
Just as she walked beside her, she heard Liu Yuanyuan's coquettish voice, which seemed a bit excited at the moment. "What did you say? Young Master Chu doesn't want to see me. Why? Didn't I make an appointment with him long ago?"
Ye Yanxi subconsciously glanced at her and happened to meet Liu Yuanyuan's gaze. Liu Yuanyuan gave her a fierce look, then walked a bit further away before continuing to talk.
"What? There's a problem with the contract, so he doesn't have time to see me now? But..." Before Liu Yuanyuan could finish her sentence, the other side seemed to interrupt her.
Liu Yuanyuan had to wait anxiously for a while. When she spoke again, there was obviously some anger in her voice. "Tell him that if he doesn't call me today to explain, don't call me again in the future."
After saying that, Liu Yuanyuan angrily hung up the phone.
