Chapter 383: Chapter 383 Love at First Sight (1)
Han Ying’s words were not meant as a compliment. Although Chu Jinyu was already in her early forties, she had taken good care of herself, maintaining the youthful beauty of her face and figure while also possessing a composure she lacked in her youth, making it impossible to guess her age.
Chu Jinyu gave a startled laugh, then burst into laughter, “You—”
What she reflected on was not her age. After all, ever since that man died, her heart had also died with him, turning her age into mere increasing numbers that held no significance to her anymore.
Han Ying smiled and said no more. She knew that the greatest regret for the President’s wife was not having children. That’s why the First Lady always had a soft spot for young girls.
Meanwhile, Su Zixi and Huo Yanhui saw a car from the President Mansion stop, and a graceful figure stepped out and walked towards them, prompting an exchange of puzzled glances.
“Let’s get out of the car first,” Su Zixi decisively pushed open the car door.
Huo Yanhui, going with the flow, got out of the car.
Su Zixi stood beside the car, watching the woman approach step by step, her features becoming gradually clearer, until she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
After a moment, she realized with a start and her eyes widened!
This woman was Ms. Ye who had come to her office accompanied by Hen Bing that day!
What was she doing here?
A question arose in Su Zixi’s mind just as Ye Shutong already stood in front of her, smiling and saying, “Young Mistress, we meet again.”
Although Su Zixi did not know her intentions, remembering her arrogance from last time made her involuntarily wary, “Ms. Ye, hello, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Ye Shutong’s piercing gaze swept over Huo Yanhui before settling back on Su Zixi’s face, “Did Jingyao not come with you? I heard from President He that Jingyao will soon be focusing on Yangdong City.”
“Jingyao is still busy with handover work. I came ahead to set things up,” Su Zixi cautiously did not say much, pointing at Huo Yanhui to Ye Shutong, “This is Dr. Huo, Jingyao’s good friend.”
Ye Shutong nodded with an understanding smile, extending her hand to Huo Yanhui, “So it’s Dr. Huo…I assume you must be Huo the younger? Nice to meet you. I’m Ye Shutong.”
Having said this, Huo Yanhui did not respond for a long time.
Su Zixi found it strange, given that this young master was always lively, why was he silent now? Ye Shutong greeted him, but he showed no reaction whatsoever.
Turning her head, she saw Huo Yanhui appearing as if he had been transfixed, his pupils dilated, staring intensely at Ye Shutong, his mouth slightly open, breathing rapidly… it indeed resembled seeing a ghost.
Confusion flashed in Ye Shutong’s eyes, just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Huo Yanhui suddenly grasped it, shaking it vigorously, “Ms. Ye, nice to meet you! I am… Huo Yanhui.”
Maybe because Huo Yanhui’s behavior was too strange, Ye Shutong gave an awkward smile, quickly withdrew her hand, and said to Su Zixi, “When Jingyao arrives in Yangdong City, I’ll invite you both to our home as a gesture of hospitality.”
“Sure, I will definitely relay the message to Jingyao,” Su Zixi’s smile was very sincere.
However, inside, she did not take Ye Shutong’s words seriously. Jingyao had never visited anyone’s home, after all—every household had their own womenfolk, and he could not ask the host to have them avoid him.
