Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 552: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
On the way back, Xie Mingyu kept thinking of Shangxue.
The more he thought about it, the worse he felt, and his face grew darker. Even the bodyguards were scared into trembling at the sight of him. No one dared ask what was wrong; they only served him more cautiously.
Originally, he could have bought a plane ticket or taken a private jet back that day.
But for some unknown reason, the young master insisted on taking the car back.
"Young Master, it’s such a long and bumpy journey. It’ll be too tiring to take the car," the bodyguard advised.
Xie Mingyu lashed out, "Do you think I can’t handle hardship?"
The bodyguard thought, isn’t that obvious?
But he didn’t dare to say it aloud.
"You’re joking, Young Master. How could you not withstand hardship? Young Master is so formidable, can endure more than anyone else."
"Of course, since childhood, I’ve endured so much traditional medicine; you guys can’t endure like I do. Just take the car back; bumpy or not, I want to."
Actually, he still held a sliver of hope in his heart.
He hoped that someone would realize their mistake and catch up to him.
By going back slowly like this, she would be able to catch up to him eventually.
However, despite making numerous stops along the way, there was no sign of Shangxue.
Finally, he couldn’t resist having Wei call the innkeeper, only to find out that Shangxue had left after her recovery.
She left decisively, not taking a single cloud with her.
Wei relayed the innkeeper’s words to Xie Mingyu, prompting Xie Mingyu to angrily throw his water cup.
Wei winced in pain.
That water cup cost 28,000, and he just threw it away?
"Heartless woman, I treated her so well for nothing," Xie Mingyu cursed in anger.
"Young Master, please calm down. How about we turn back and look for her?" Wei could tell that their young master’s unusual behavior was because of Shangxue.
However, because of Wei’s words, Xie Mingyu got angry again and kicked Wei in the thigh.
Wei staggered from the kick and didn’t dare to say any more, only continuing to let the convoy drive.
Two days later, they returned to Tong City in great numbers.
Old Sir Xie was surprised to see him return alone and asked, "Why are you alone? Where’s that girl Shangxue?"
"She won’t be coming back anymore, Grandpa. Don’t talk to me, I’m annoyed."
Xie Mingyu kept a stern face and went to his room, slamming the door shut with a "bang."
Old Sir Xie was startled and quickly called over the bodyguards who had followed him.
"What’s wrong with the young master? Why is he so angry?"
Wei and the others meekly recounted everything that happened on the road to Old Sir Xie.
However, they had no idea what exactly occurred between Xie Mingyu and Shangxue.
But none of them were fools; from the bits and pieces, they could guess that something indescribable must have happened between the two.
But they dared not tell Old Sir Xie these speculations, fearing that they might be wrong and cause Xie Mingyu to get angrier.
And Old Sir Xie wasn’t a fool either, he could guess something from the bodyguards’ vague answers.
"This foolish boy," Old Sir Xie shook his head and sighed.
Clearly, he likes Shangxue, but he won’t admit it, torturing himself.
"Miss Ye, are you free? Do you have time to chat with me?"
Old Sir Xie, feeling upset and not knowing who to talk to about this, could only call Ye Ningwan after much deliberation.
Although Ye Ningwan couldn’t become his granddaughter-in-law, she watched Xie Mingyu grow up and even cured him of his illness. In Old Sir Xie’s eyes, she was like a second parent.
As a second parent, she should also be involved in his lifelong affairs!
But at the moment, Ye Ningwan was not in the mood to chat. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
She was chatting with Zhan Hanjue, and gradually, Zhan Hanjue was getting restless and was passionately kissing her when Old Sir Xie’s call interrupted.
Zhan Hanjue instantly darkened his face and looked at Ye Ningwan speechlessly.
Ye Ningwan sighed and said to Old Sir Xie, "You really have a knack for timing. I’m not free now; let’s chat next time."
"Don’t hang up, don’t hang up. What could you possibly be busy with?" Old Sir Xie called.
Ye Ningwan glanced at Zhan Hanjue, who was sitting across with a dark face, and said to Old Sir Xie, "A lifelong matter."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, turned it off, tossed it aside, and hugged Zhan Hanjue for another kiss.
Old Sir Xie was left confused, staring at the phone.
Lifelong matter?
Wasn’t her lifelong matter already settled?
How could there still be a lifelong matter?
Reluctantly, he dialed again, but the phone was already turned off.
Old Sir Xie was so angry that if it weren’t for the distance, he would have wanted to drive over there immediately to find her.
Fortunately, over an hour later, Ye Ningwan called him back.
"Now I’m free. What did you want to talk about?"
Old Sir Xie asked angrily, "What were you busy with just now, turning off your phone? With our years of friendship, you hung up on me for someone else’s matter?"
Ye Ningwan sighed, "Old Sir, I had no choice. It’s true we’ve been friends for years, but the person I was busy with has an even deeper connection with me. So, you and he are not comparable. If you insist on comparing, of course, you’ll lose."
"Who were you busy with? Tell me, I want to see who it is," Old Sir Xie said angrily.
Of course, Ye Ningwan wouldn’t tell him it was Zhan Hanjue. Otherwise, this old man would immediately guess what was going on.
"You better quickly tell me what you wanted to talk about. Otherwise, I’ll be busy again," Ye Ningwan changed the subject.
"Oh, right, right, I have something very important to discuss with you," Old Sir Xie came to his senses and quickly said.
He recounted Xie Mingyu’s situation to Ye Ningwan.
Afterwards, he speculated, "I think there’s something unusual between Yu’er and Shangxue, but why didn’t Yu’er bring Shangxue back?"
"I know about this matter; there’s definitely something going on between the two of them," Ye Ningwan said.
"You know? How do you know?" Old Sir Xie was surprised.
Ye Ningwan cleared her throat and said, "Of course I know. You don’t need to ask how I know; just understand that there’s something between Xie Mingyu and Shangxue. So, don’t think about arranging a match for Xie Mingyu for now. Even if you set him up, he probably won’t go."
"That’s unacceptable. Shangxue is nowhere to be found and isn’t coming back. Should Yu’er stay single forever? I’m getting old, and I don’t know when I might pass. Before I go, I must see Yu’er get married and have children. Otherwise, I can’t face his parents over there."
"But there’s no point in arranging it for him, you’ve tried it before. You even arranged for Xunyou, but he didn’t agree?"
"He may not agree, but it still needs to be arranged. That’s settled."
After speaking, Old Sir Xie hung up the phone.
Ye Ningwan: "..."
So what was the point of Old Sir Xie’s call? To consult her?
Or was it just pretending to consult her?
