Chapter 1057: It’s Not Appropriate to Keep Living Here
"I’ve heard of Vice President Xu of the Beichen Group for a long time, just haven’t had the time to meet. When you have time, let’s go out for tea?"
"President Xia, you truly flatter me. You’re always so busy, never visiting without a reason. Just tell me what you need from me."
Xia Zhengyang: "I like talking to sensible people. Yuanyuan should have mentioned she ran straight from the engagement ceremony. I won’t mind if you laugh at me; I’m calling Vice President Xu today to ask Yuanyuan to come home. There’s some conflict between Yuanyuan and me, and I hope you can persuade her to come back home."
Xu Kun chuckled as if he’d heard a joke, "Sorry, I don’t think I’m capable of convincing her."
"You are," Xia Zhengyang stated confidently. "You don’t need to do anything, just don’t let her continue living there. Rest assured, once Yuanyuan leaves your apartment, I’ll have someone waiting downstairs, after all, she’s a bit of a road idiot and shouldn’t run off just anywhere."
"I hope Vice President Xu can understand that no father can simply watch as his daughter roams outside. Anger is temporary; please help me, Vice President Xu."
Xu Kun pressed his lips together and after a few seconds of silence spoke, "Alright, I understand."
He hung up the phone, cleaned up the meal on the table, threw it in the trash, and then pressed the internal line, "Come in."
Two minutes later, Xia Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, "Vice President, is there something you need?"
Xu Kun bracing both hands on the desk, "How’s the thing I asked you to consider?"
Not expecting him to suddenly bring this up, she scratched her head and looked down at the floor, "Why suddenly ask me this? I don’t want to answer this question right now."
This time, Xu Kun wasn’t planning to let her avoid, "How long are you going to keep hiding? You have to face reality eventually, some things need to be resolved sooner or later, and I’ve gotten used to living alone."
"What do you mean?" Xia Yuan looked at him incredulously, "Did someone say something to you, or did someone gossip in front of you? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t make me leave?"
He picked up his water cup from the table and took a sip, "I did say that, but you should understand, we are neither a couple nor relatives. Letting you live at my place was because you had nowhere to go, and you have a fiancé, it’s not appropriate to continue living here."
"So, you’re asking me to leave?"
Xu Kun picked up a document, stood up, and straightened his suit, "Think about it yourself, pack your things after work tonight. I have some matters to attend to, you can go rest now."
Saying that, he walked out of the office and turned to Mo Han’s place.
Xia Yuan stood in the office stunned, unable to return to herself.
Suddenly, she curled her lips and laughed coldly...
...
In Mo Han’s office, Xu Kun held a cup of coffee, leaning on the desk, lost in thought.
"What are you zoning out for here? You’ve scared my girlfriend away, you’ve got to be responsible for this!"
Xu Kun ignored him and took another sip of coffee, "Today, Xia Yuan’s father called me."
"And then?" Mo Han stared at him puzzled, "Is it because of this that you came here to daze off? Let me tell you, last night I was working overtime at the company, Qin Yin helped me with files all night long. We finally waited until lunchtime for her to rest for a while, and you just scared her away directly, are you doing it on purpose?"
"In the afternoon, reduce Qin Yin’s workload, or directly give her half a day off. You’re not being a good boyfriend, working overtime yourself is one thing, but having her accompany you is just ridiculous."
