Chapter 850: Things Aren't That Simple
The next morning, Huang Xiaochuan had just finished a video conference when Gao Song said to him, "Mr. Huang, your two older sisters have arrived."
"Hmm?" In his memory, these two people usually wouldn't come here to look for him, but he quickly guessed why.
He looked at Gao Song and asked, "Where is he?"
Gao Song replied, "You were in a meeting just now, so I arranged for you to rest in the lounge."
Huang Xiaochuan originally wanted to say "please" to them, but then he felt it was inappropriate and immediately changed his mind, saying, "Never mind, I'll go over myself." He then walked towards the lounge, with Gao Song following closely behind.
Pushing open the door to the lounge, I saw Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia, the two sisters, sitting inside talking. They immediately stood up when they saw Huang Xiaochuan, looking worried.
"Little brother!"
"Little brother!"
At this moment, Gao Song wisely closed the door from the outside.
"What's going on? Why did you decide to come here?" Huang Xiaochuan asked knowingly.
Both Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia looked concerned. Zeng Xia, who was impatient, asked immediately, "Are you alright?"
Seeing the anxiety and concern on his two older sisters' faces, Huang Xiaochuan felt a warmth in his heart and comforted them gently, "What could possibly happen to me? Nothing at all, don't worry."
Zeng Xia was somewhat incredulous: "You didn't argue with your wife?" It seemed that her second sister, Zeng Xia, had a problem with Yu Xiang. Usually, she would call her by her first name, but today she directly referred to her as "your wife."
"What's there to argue about? It's all in the past now!" Huang Xiaochuan gestured for his two older sisters to sit down again.
Judging from their expressions, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia felt that their younger brother hadn't lied to them, and only then did they completely put their worries to rest.
Zeng Hong then began to complain about her younger brother: "And you, how old are you, already thinking about what will happen after you die? I think you're just bored."
Zeng Xia followed suit: "That's right, spit a few times with me to get rid of bad luck." After saying that, she spat a few times on the ground.
Huang Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated. Zeng Xia was a medical worker who had received systematic education, yet she would do such a thing. This powerful cultural gene was truly omnipresent.
Urged on by his two older sisters' gazes, Huang Xiaochuan could only spit a few times in compliance. It was only because there were no outsiders present; if others had seen him do this, their jaws would probably have dropped to the floor and left a dent.
"Why bring this up now? Besides, I don't understand what you're thinking. If you only had Xiaoduo as a child, I wouldn't say anything, but you have a son." Zeng Hong also expressed her dissatisfaction.
Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to waste any more energy on this matter. He laughed and said, "I already know! You guys didn't see the scene yesterday. Good heavens, it was like a three-way interrogation. My old man was about to turn against me."
Hearing this, Zeng Hong lightly patted her younger brother and said angrily, "You knew this would happen, but you still talked nonsense. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time! Your second sister and I didn't sleep well all night because of you. We originally wanted to go to your house, but after thinking about it, we felt it was inappropriate, so we came here directly."
"Don't worry, it's okay. Yu Xiang and I didn't have a fight."
"Really?" Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia were both somewhat skeptical.
Huang Xiaochuan pushed Tang Jianhua forward: "Didn't your brother-in-law tell you? Last night, Yu Xiang and I treated some of my former colleagues to dinner at the main store, and your brother-in-law ate with us too."
Seeing that her brother didn't seem to be faking it, and considering what Tang Jianhua said last night, the two things made sense, and Zeng Hong finally felt relieved. In her opinion, her sister-in-law Yu Xiang was right to stand up for her son Huang Zeji, and she would have done the same. So she was very worried that her brother and sister-in-law would develop an irreparable rift because of these things.
You have to understand, this couple isn't your average couple. At worst, they might have a fight and break up. If they were to actually go that far, who knows how earth-shattering it would be!
Zeng Xia felt relieved, but she was still a little annoyed that her sister-in-law had made such a big fuss. The two of them could have just talked things out at home. Her brother wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable, but he had to bring up all the elders and make the whole family unhappy.
Seeing that her younger brother and sister-in-law were indeed alright, Zeng Hong felt relieved. She stood up and said, "It's good that they're alright. You go about your business, we're leaving." As she spoke, she pulled her younger sister, Zeng Xia.
Zeng Xia also stood up: "Yes, then we'll be going."
Huang Xiaochuan personally escorted his two older sisters downstairs. Before parting, Zeng Hong said to him, "Come to our house for dinner this Saturday, and bring Yu Xiang and the two children with you."
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and agreed, "Got it!"
That evening, Huang Xiaochuan hosted a guest at Tang Jianhua's restaurant. The guest was Huang Boyi, one of the shareholders of Guangda Real Estate and a longtime friend of Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Boyi is no longer the small factory owner who went to the mainland to open a garment factory and earn some processing fees. He has invested in many industries following Huang Xiaochuan and has now become one of Hong Kong's top tycoons. However, he is low-key, pays attention to health, and does not participate much in the day-to-day operations of his company, so he rarely appears in public.
"Old Huang, welcome, welcome! It's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it?" Upon seeing Huang Boyi, Huang Xiaochuan took the initiative to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with him.
Huang Boyi is now over sixty years old, but thanks to proper maintenance, he looks very young, which shows that his health regimen has some effect.
He held Huang Xiaochuan's hand tightly, refusing to let go: "Yes! It's been almost a year."
"Sit down, sit down, don't stand up," Huang Xiaochuan said, gesturing for Huang Boyi to sit down.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Huang Boyi said as he sat down to Huang Xiaochuan's left.
Considering Huang Boyi's focus on health, Huang Xiaochuan proactively asked, "Old Huang, can we still have a little something to drink now?"
Huang Boyi laughed heartily: "I can still drink a little red wine!"
"Okay, then I'll have some red wine with you too." He glanced at Gao Song as he spoke, and Gao Song immediately went to arrange for drinks.
"What brings you to Shanghai this time?" As soon as Gao Song left, Huang Xiaochuan asked Huang Boyi about his purpose for coming.
"To be honest, I came here specifically to find you," Huang Boyi said bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan knew something was wrong, so he asked, "Old Huang, is something the matter? Tell me about it."
"I've come to see you about President Nan Hui," Huang Boyi explained his purpose.
"Nan Hui? What happened to her?" Huang Xiaochuan was slightly startled.
Huang Boyi asked, "Do you know she has a boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?" Huang Xiaochuan had no idea. Nan Hui hadn't told him, and no one had reported this to him. But the fact that Huang Boyi had traveled all the way to Shanghai to see him because Nan Hui had a boyfriend meant that things weren't that simple.
