Chapter 2277: Chapter 81: Are You Happy?
Zhang Minghui paused for two seconds.
Returning to his senses under Mo Ziye’s cold gaze, his eyes flickered slightly as he asked gently, “Are we going to S City to pick up Xin Xin today? The schedule is quite full today…”
“Yes, you need to go to S City now, leave work matters to the secretary.”
“Alright, then I’ll call Xin Xin shortly and let her know to prepare.”
“Brother Little Hui, Qingqing and I are getting married soon. You’re not getting any younger; you shouldn’t let work delay your entire life’s happiness.”
Mo Ziye’s tone softened slightly as he changed the subject.
However, Zhang Minghui didn’t follow his train of thought. After a moment, his expression changed slightly as he said, “My aunt is already helping me find a match. Don’t worry about it.”
Watching Zhang Minghui leave the office and close the door behind him.
Mo Ziye’s expression slightly relaxed, his thin lips lightly pressed together.
He hoped that the events of the past did not truly involve Zhang Minghui.
Although over the years Zhang Minghui had always been by his side, first as a follower and growing up to become his assistant.
But in Mo Ziye’s heart, he actually considered him a brother.
Zhang Minghui handed over his work duties before leaving the company, sitting in the car and dialing Mo Xin’s number.
Since Mo Xin left G City four years ago, she had never returned and hadn’t contacted anyone.
In the driver’s seat, Zhang Minghui gripped the steering wheel with one hand, holding the phone with the other, recalling Mo Ziye’s earlier words.
His grip on the phone tightened imperceptibly.
The phone rang several times before being answered. Whether due to the distance or the time apart, Mo Xin’s voice sounded unfamiliar, “Hello!”
“Xin Xin, it’s Zhang Minghui.”
“…”
His words fell.
The line fell into silence.
During the wait, Zhang Minghui subconsciously sat up straighter.
He couldn’t see Mo Xin, so he didn’t know what she was thinking.
After a while.
The voice that came through the phone turned from unfamiliar to slightly mocking, “What do you want?”
“Xin Xin, are you well?”
Mo Xin’s question made the atmosphere awkward for Zhang Minghui.
For a moment, he felt there was nothing appropriate to say.
But he wasn’t Mo Ziye; he couldn’t outright tell her to return to G City…
“Good, of course I’m well.”
Zhang Minghui frowned slightly.
Stiffly, he said, “Well, Ziyi asked me to pick you up from S City earlier. He wants you to come back, so please prepare. I’m leaving now, and I’ll call you when I reach S City.”
Once again, the mention of ‘Mo Ziye’ led to a prolonged silence on the phone.
It also erased the sarcasm and coldness from Mo Xin’s tone. Zhang Minghui could not discern the emotion in her voice, “Is he with Qingqing?”
He replied truthfully, “Yes.”
“Ah, haha!”
Zhang Minghui pressed his lips together, listening to Mo Xin laugh over the phone.
He couldn’t describe his feelings at that moment; he didn’t even know why things turned out as they did four years ago, and what led to the current situation.
“Brother Little Hui, are you happy? Ziyi and Qingqing are back together, are you happy for them?”
Mo Xin asked with a laugh.
“Of course, I’m happy for them.”
“Ha, I hope you’re sincere, but even if you’re not, Aunt An’s death couldn’t separate them, nothing ever will again.”
Mo Xin seemed to be talking to herself.
Zhang Minghui did not respond.
He felt the same in his heart.
Ziyi and Qingqing seemed to have broken up for four years, but during those years, perhaps their breakup was only on the surface; their hearts never stopped loving each other.
That shouldn’t be considered a real breakup.
Suddenly, a strong wave of bitterness surged through his heart, and he told Mo Xin, “I’ll call you when I get to S City.”
Then he hung up the phone.
At this moment, in the top-floor office of the building.
Mo Ziye removed the Bluetooth earpiece.
He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window from behind the desk, overlooking all of G City, though the height made it impossible to see the ground clearly.
But he knew that Zhang Minghui had driven off from the company, heading towards S City.
He had overheard Zhang Minghui’s phone call with Mo Xin.
That listening device had been installed by Qing Feng back then… unexpectedly, it had such a function…
Taking out his phone, Mo Ziye dialed his mother, Wen Ran’s, number.
He hadn’t informed his parents about bringing Xin Xin back to G City.
The phone rang twice, and Wen Ran’s voice, filled with a smile, came through, “Ziyi, I just got back from Qingqing’s house. What’s up?”
“Mom, I have something to tell you.” Mo Ziye’s lips curved into a slight smile.
Turning around, his gaze fell on the large desk.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“I just asked Zhang Minghui to pick up Xin Xin, and they should be back by evening. I’ll arrange her accommodation.”
Wen Ran seemed unsurprised by Mo Ziye’s actions.
When the incident happened years ago, Mo Ziye remained silent.
He didn’t even get angry at Mo Xin, nor did he question her. It couldn’t have been just sibling affection from growing up together that led him not to blame her.
Wen Ran knew that sooner or later, he would confront Mo Xin.
“You can decide for yourself. Does Qingqing know?”
“Mom, could you mention it to Qingqing later? I haven’t told her yet. We didn’t see Xin Xin when visiting S City earlier.”
“Alright, I’ll tell Qingqing later.”
“Thank you, Mom.”
Mo Ziye sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Throughout his life, his parents had always provided him with complete trust and independence.
No matter the situation, they never interfered excessively. While he didn’t always express it, he felt immensely grateful and fortunate in his heart.
“Focus on your work. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Your godmother should be arriving soon.”
After ending the call, before Qingqing could speak, Wen Ran gently said, “Qingqing, Ziyi just told me he sent Little Hui to pick up Xin Xin from S City.”
Qingqing hadn’t overheard what Mo Ziye said earlier, but she heard Wen Ran’s statement.
Hearing it now, she initially showed a hint of surprise.
Pressing her lips together, she softly asked, “Aunt Wen, has Sister Xin Xin not returned to visit you and Uncle Mo all these years?”
After she went abroad, she was unaware of everything happening back home.
Whether it was her father, Qin Mu, or anyone around Wen Ran who called her, no one mentioned the unpleasant people and events. They only cared about her well-being and adjustment abroad.
Wen Ran shook her head, an expression of complex emotions surfacing on her well-preserved face, “She hasn’t contacted any of us, nor has she come back. Qingqing, Ziyi said he will arrange for Xin Xin’s accommodation and won’t have her stay at home.”
“Aunt Wen, I don’t mind where she stays. You and Uncle Mo have always regarded her as your own. Please don’t change that because of me…”
Wen Ran sighed, “She’s grown up, and it’s not something your Uncle Mo and I can control anymore. Don’t worry about it; when she returns, Ziyi will give you an explanation.”
