Chapter 626: Chapter 627: Hidden Difficulties
“Actually, Tuanzi and the CEO do share some resemblance.
Particularly those cold eyes that seem to see through worldly affairs.
These days, the company has been abuzz with rumors that the CEO has an illegitimate son, whom he brings to the company every day.
However, everyone speculates that this illegitimate child is the son of CEO and Zhang Xinyi.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xinyi’s eyes do somewhat resemble Xia Yangyang’s.
No wonder, in these recent years…..
Even Fang Zhengdong finds this situation troubling, it’s simply too complicated.
Fang Zhengdong glanced at Xia Yangyang who seemed to be lost in thought on the couch and cautiously greeted her: “Yangyang, long time no see.”
Xia Yangyang also looked up and gave a slight smile towards Fang Zhengdong: “Secretary Fang, hope you’ve been well.”
Fang Zhengdong took a rare moment to observe Xia Yangyang.
The image she presented now was vastly different from before.
Her demeanour seemed to have changed drastically. She only spoke a couple of words, but to Fang Zhengdong, Xia Yangyang now appeared sharper and more tenacious than before.
Fang Zhengdong chuckled, “I couldn’t have possibly imagined that little Tuanzi is the son of the CEO and you. When I saw him in the United States before, I thought there was something familiar about him. Now that I think about it, only a genius like the CEO could have a child as gifted as him.”
Xia Yangyang only managed a weak smile in response.
Fang Zhengdong was well aware that the relationship between the CEO and Xia Yangyang probably wasn’t very good.
Xia Yangyang got up and left for the bedroom.
This was the perfect opportunity.
Xia Yangyang went into the room and casually picked up Xia Ye as if it was perfectly normal.
Then she turned around to leave.
Fang Zhengdong blocked the door, his face framing a hard decision: “Yangyang, we used to be friends, would you really send me to Africa heartlessly?”
“I’m sorry, but I have to go.”
Despite feeling guilty, Xia Yangyang didn’t yield.
Furthermore, Fang Zhengdong is Gu Qichen’s right-hand man. Xia Yangyang did not believe that Gu Qichen would banish him to Africa over this. It was merely a bluff.
But Fang Zhengdong remained in Xia Yangyang’s path. “The villa is surrounded by reporters right now. Today, the CEO’s absence from his own engagement banquet is big news. There are countless reporters staking out both here and the company. If you leave now, you’ll certainly be photographed, and it would bring trouble to everyone involved.”
Fang Zhengdong was aware that Xia Yangyang, who used to be a popular actress, found paparazzi immensely irritating, she certainly wouldn’t want to be wrapped up in a scandal.
As expected, Xia Yangyang frowned, seemingly wrestling with the decision.
She didn’t want the situation to escalate.
If she were exposed, the Gu family would also learn of Xia Ye’s existence.
That would add more complication.
Xia Yangyang turned back into the room and put Xia Ye back in his bed.
Then she abruptly turned around again: “Didn’t Gu Qichen just leave for his engagement venue?”
If Gu Qichen went to the engagement venue, why would reporters still be swarming here?
Fang Zhengdong heaved a sigh: “The CEO didn’t go to his engagement venue.”
“Then where did he go?”
Xia Yangyang was genuinely perplexed.
What could be more important than his own engagement?
Plus, didn’t Xi Zijun just call a while ago?
“He….he…..had some issues.”
Xia Yangyang was seeing Secretary Fang tongue-tied for the first time, which seemed like he had something hard to confess.
Xia Yangyang dropped her gaze: “Never mind, you don’t need to tell me. It has nothing to do with me where he goes.”
Fang Zhengdong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He really could not disclose where the CEO had gone.
However, it seemed matter wouldn’t stay hidden for long.
