Chapter 575: Chapter 576: I’m Not Some Third Young Mistress
Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan were taken aback simultaneously after hearing this.
Xia Yangyang almost blurted out in defense: “I’m not the Mistress of the third young master.”
The young maid, seeing Xia Yangyang’s displeased tone, was a bit at a loss.
She had initially intended to flatter Miss Xia.
Yet she got the feeling that Miss Xia was getting a bit upset.
The young maid timidly stole a glance at the third young master next to her.
The third young master was quite indifferent, only telling Xia Yangyang, “Let’s go.”
Gu Zhaohan took the initiative to stride forward, with Xia Yangyang quickly following him.
She thought to herself, probably the whole Xi family has misunderstood.
Had she been clear-headed yesterday, she would have definitely not gone to Gu Zhaohan’s room.
She heaved a sigh in her mind.
Anyway, no one knows her so no need to care.
The dining room still had the same people.
Liu Ruyan, seeing Xia Yangyang, asked concernedly: “Yangyang, are you feeling better? Why didn’t you tell Aunt Liu if you were uncomfortable?”
Xia Yangyang just put on a polite smile: “I’m fine.”
Xia Weiwei remarked sarcastically next to them: “With our third young master dutifully taking care of you all through the night, you will understandably recover much faster than usual. Look, our third young master even got dark circles. You two must have had a rough night.”
Xia Weiwei deliberately added a touch of ambiguity in her words.
Xi Yanbo laughed next to them and said, “Xiao Han, you got a girlfriend and didn’t even tell your home, dad would be thrilled to know.”
Gu Zhaohan responded: “You got it wrong.”
Gu Zhaohan’s words were indifferent yet casual.
However, to the others present, who would believe that?
Who in this house does not know Third Young Master’s character?
Having directly taken the young lady into his own room, how could that be wrong?
The glances from everyone became suggestive.
The more the issue was explained, the more guilty it appeared.
Previously, there had been rumors about Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan.
Even in the United States, all her brothers and sisters treated Gu Zhaohan as her boyfriend.
However, the more she tried to explain, the darker the impression became.
The two silently sat down to breakfast in perfect harmony.
Halfway through breakfast, Xia Yangyang told Liu Ruyan: “Aunt Liu, thank you for taking care of me these past days. I should leave now, I’ll be moving out this afternoon.”
Before Liu Ruyan could respond,
Han Cheng suddenly stepped forward and said, “The Master is returning to the country today, he especially wishes to see Miss Xia.”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback: “See me?”
Xia Yangyang knew that the person referred to as ‘Master’ by Han Cheng was Xi Jiachen, Gu Zhaohan’s biological father and the absolute authority of the Xi family, the richest man in Asia.
But why does he want to see her?
Han Cheng replied, “Master was aware that… a distinguished guest was here at home, so he rescheduled to come back. Miss Xia, please do us the honor of staying a bit longer.”
Everyone around understood.
Probably the Master wanted to meet her thinking of her as Gu Zhaohan’s girlfriend.
For the past years, Gu Zhaohan’s presumed homosexuality has been a sorrow for the Master.
Xi Yankai has already publicly announced his preference for men.
If the third young master of the Xi family also likes men, it would be…
So, yesterday Xi Yanbo had made a call and naturally, Xi Jiachen was to return to personally investigate the matter.
But Xia Yangyang was unaware of these intricacies.
Yet, she could not disrespect this request.
Xia Yangyang replied: “It is my honor to meet Mr. Xi.”
Xi Yankai patted Gu Zhaohan’s shoulder and remarked, “Our dad is surely back to persuade you to join the company. It seems Zijun is single-handedly controlling our company, how could our dad treat her like his own daughter.”
The butler Han intervened: “Miss Zijun is also coming back tonight.”
