Chapter 576: Chapter 577: Gu Qichen also came
At this, Xi Yankai immediately shut his mouth.
Xia Yangyang had heard of it before.
Xi Zijun held a high position in the Xi family.
Even higher than the second master of the Xi family.
But her position was not lifted up by Xi Jiachen.
It was her own ability in the position of the Jiang Group.
Xi Yanbo and Xi Yankai both were directors of the Jiang Group, but the positions they held were nominal.
Only Xi Zijun was the general manager of the Jiang Group, holding great power.
Even within the Xi family, her word carried weight, second only to Xi Jiachen.
Xi Yanbo changed the topic: “Zijun hasn’t been home for more than half a year, would she bring her mysterious fiancé back this time for us to meet?”
Xi Yankai sneered: “What mystery? Isn’t it just Gu Qichen, the CEO of Shengyuan, the third brother’s … uncle?”
Everyone knew a bit about Gu Qichen and Gu Zhaohan’s relationship.
After all, when Gu Zhaohan returned to the Xi family, the rumour that his uncle had become his older brother had already been suppressed.
Where there is smoke, there’s fire. The Xi family naturally knew all of this was true.
But it is also a taboo in the Xi family, reportedly because Xi Jiachen could not bear that Gu Mingzhu’s brother was actually his own child, born when he was only 16. He chose to divorce in a rage.
At the time of the divorce, Xi Yanbo and Xi Yankai were young.
There was only a slight impression left of their stepmother.
A very beautiful but very cold woman.
It seemed that she hadn’t smiled since the day she married their father.
The real reason for the divorce, they knew even less.
All they remember is that there was no quarrel or warning, they divorced quietly.
Xia Yangyang also froze for a moment at the mention of Gu Qichen’s name.
Everyone knew that Xi Zijun’s fiance was Gu Qichen.
But Xia Yangyang was curious.
Could Xi Zijun tolerate her fiance being ambiguous with her step-sister?
In Xia Yangyang’s memory.
She had worked with Xi Zijun to put Liu Ruyan in a difficult position.
Xia Yangyang got everything she wanted.
But in the end, Xi Zijun couldn’t stop Xi Jiaxin and Liu Ruyan from being together.
Liu Ruyan even legitimately became Mrs. Xi.
What happened afterwards, Xia Yangyang knew nothing about.
But fate is indeed a cyclical hand, past people, past events, one by one, in succession, would reappear before her eyes.
In the afternoon, she was somewhat restless.
Feeling like something bad was about to happen.
However, her cold from yesterday hadn’t completely cleared up,.
Xia Yangyang slept in her room for the entire afternoon.
Until the housekeeper came to knock on the door and said: “The master is back, should the Third Young Master and Miss Xia come down?”
At that moment, Xia Yangyang was just waking up.
Gu Zhaohan was also in the room.
He checked her temperature and said: “This repeated fever, have you had this symptom before?”
Xia Yangyang shook her head.
Gu Zhaohan said, “After dinner, I will take you to the hospital for a check-up.”
Xia Yangyang felt Gu Zhaohan was too worried, being a doctor, he could always imagine a common cold as a sign of various other illnesses.
Xia Yangyang got up: “Let’s go out.”
The room Xia Yangyang was staying in was on the third floor.
The dining room was on the second floor.
Leaving the room, they needed to cross a long corridor.
Under the stairs there was a huge, brightly lit hall.
When Xia Yangyang reached the stairs, she sneezed.
He said hesitantly: “I’ll go get you a jacket, wait for me here for a while.”
Gu Zhaohan turned and left.
Xia Yangyang waited on the stairs.
Underneath the staircase was a well-lit hall.
When Xia Yangyang looked up, she saw a familiar figure in the midst of the hall.
