Old man Xue’s condition seemed serious this time around. Xue Ziang stayed in the hospital for one night but did not go to the company the next day. He returned to his residence and went to the hospital for a morning rest.
Of course, Xue Zhan did not go to the company either.
According to Xue Ziang, he slept for a few hours while keeping watch at the hospital, but Xue Zhan did not get a wink of sleep. After all, Xue Zhan caused this episode.
Even if there was any conflict between the father and son, it wasn’t serious. But because old man Xue was already past seventy, in poor physical condition, and had already known the pain of losing a child, he is especially concerned about Xue Zhan’s marriage. Unfortunately, none of the matched women caught Xue Zhan’s eyes.
The cause of this hospitalization also started because Xue Zhan was provoked by one of these women who took the initiative to go see him at his company. Xue Zhan didn’t take kindly to this and had a bad attitude towards the woman. In the end, she called old man Xue, weeping endlessly and told on Xue Zhan. Old Mister Xue got very angry and personally went to the office to lecture his son. The father and son then got into a heated discussion until the old man couldn’t stand the commotion, passing out on the spot.
Zhao Yu had also considered Xue Zhan’s aversion to blind dates and wondered if were any hidden reasons behind it. Unfortunately, from what she gathered, everything was normal. Even the top private detectives can’t find anything else.
What’s more, Xue Ziang also said that his brother-in-law had no physical or psychological problems, but threw himself completely into his work, leaving no extra energy to deal with women.
Xue Zhan as a person was too hard to see through, and amongst the few people Zhao Yu targeted, he was the one she knew the least about and was the least accessible. So much so that to this date, she still did not have an exact plan on how to deal with this man.
“Our boss, if I were to describe him in one word, would be…enigmatic.”1
While having dinner together and gossiping about the Chairman getting hospitalized due to the Vice-Chairman, Wang Qi had this to say about her boss.
“Hey, I knew this a long time ago.” Initially hoping to get insight into a juicy story, Xia Nan instantly deflated.
Wang Qi curled his lips: “What were you expecting? The time I’ve known Mr. Xue Dong is not short, but the secretary is just a secretary. Only a ghost would know what kind of person the boss is in private, besides, even if I really know it, would I dare say it?”
Continuing their chat, Wang Qi and Zhao Yu talked about work again, while Xia Nan and Qin Yi scrolled through their Weibo together, drooling at various handsome stars.
Because of Zhao Yu’s relationship with them, these three people who normally would have led different paths, now often got together.2
“Wow, this one’s handsome, this is handsome, this super handsome!” Zhao Yu didn’t know what they were looking at on Qin Yi’s phone but Xia Nan began to yell excitedly, “He looks this handsome but has only tens of thousands of fans, that’s unreasonable!”
“He’s not a celebrity, why would he want fans?” Qin Yi looked proud, “He is my senior and idol.”
“So you know them? How come you don’t chase him?”
Qin Yi shook his head: “You don’t understand, idols can only be viewed from a distance. If I wanted to chase someone, I’d chase after the little mister I met last time. That little mister is really handsome, and with one look gave a feeling of complete safety. So sad I don’t even have his name or phone number, sigh!”
Zhao Yuzheng thought to herself; Ji Sui’s charm was so great that the little girl couldn’t forget their first meeting, and suddenly heard Xia Nan say: “Ling Jianwei? This name is also nice, and it feels like him. Suits him.”
Zhao Yu’s hand holding the chopsticks shook and looked at Qin Yi’s phone subconsciously. Unfortunately, Qin Yi sat opposite her so she could only see a cute phone case.
Qin Yi said, “He’s the youngest son of the boss of the Yiyuan Group who has a long-term partnership with our company. Now you know why he can only be an idol? My little mister only drives cars worth several hundred thousand. This guy has a sports car worth tens of millions… Tsk tsk, he’s a flower out of reach, only to be watched from a distance, not casually toyed with.”
“You mean, President Ling’s younger brother?” Wang Qi’s interest was also peaked and took a look at the phone. “I’ve only heard of President Ling having a younger brother. Turns out this is what he looks like, he is more handsome than President Ling and surprisingly your senior in school.”
“In fact, it is more accurate to call him a half-semester senior. This Young Master Ling only attended our school for two months. Because he was not used to an ordinary civilian’s life, he went back to an aristocratic school. Sigh, this is the definition of a gap. The same is true for jewelry design, some people went to St. Martin, and I went to a diploma mill.”
“He’s from St. Martin? Awesome!” Wang Qi nodded in admiration, and handed the phone to Zhao Yu, “Look, not bad right? Seems a bit cold, but still looks really good.”
Zhao Yu took the phone, looked at the indifferent young man standing on the podium in the picture, smiled, and said nothing.
Xia Nan said, “These days don’t all girls eat up this kind of cold and cool personality? The more they don’t care, the more you feel he’s infinitely charming.”
Qin Yi shook her head. “I still like guys that are friendly. My little mister is not bad. That’s not right. The little mister is actually quite aloof. Sure enough, looks are king, if you look good, you can show you dislike someone if you dislike them. Otherwise, you’re only good to be a lap dog.”
Several people were amused by her words. Zhao Yu casually scrolled through Ling Jianwei’s Weibo, only to find that apart from the one picture zoomed into by Qin Yi, there were no more photos of him on it, it’s very likely his tens of thousands of fans, came for just this photo.
Besides advertising for his own studio, he rarely posts Weibo. Zhao Yu even suspected that this Weibo account was not his. After all, the impression she had of him was, that person would solely focus on his studies and didn’t like posting on various social media platforms.
After picking up the phone, Qin Yi sighed: “Actually, he was not cold at all when he was in middle school, he seemed to be quite introverted and shy, but last year I heard people talk about him at the class reunion, saying that his personality has changed drastically, and he is cold to everyone. Doesn’t like people, sigh, just like this in the photo. Girls liked him in middle school anyway. Now, people who only look at faces still like him. Others would say that he is pretentious.”
“Pfft!” Xia Nan couldn’t help but smile. “That last description is perfect. Some men are really good at pretending, one look and they’re moody.”
Qin Yi rested her head on her hands and said solemnly, “I don’t think he is that kind of person. I wonder if he was hurt by an evil woman, causing his personality to shift like this. Normal people have no reason to always distance themselves from people to this degree.”
Zhao Yu smiled and put a piece of meat into her mouth, chewing slowly, she thought back to the way that shy and introverted teenager looked at her with a flushed face many years ago.
Indeed, a normal person with politeness and quality will not be cold to others casually. Furthermore, she was the bad woman who has greatly changed his temperament.
Qin Yi checked Weibo again and said excitedly, “Wow! The senior replied to me! He will graduate and return to China in early December, so soon?”
Zhao Yu was taken aback again.
She didn’t pay attention to Ling Jianwei’s movements, but last she heard, Ling Jianyuan said that he was coming back, turned out it really was so soon.

2 八竿子打不到一起的人 Lit. 8 bamboo poles couldn’t hit them together. LOL you get it. They wouldn’t normally be in each other’s presence.
