52: Chapter 52 Her Love, Ordinary and Pure_1 52: Chapter 52 Her Love, Ordinary and Pure_1 Around ten o’clock at night, Nanxi received a phone call from Li Weihuan.
His voice was gentle as usual, saying that he had packed up everything and would catch a plane the next day to see her!
Nanxi’s heart warmed as she gave him many reminders before reluctantly hanging up.
Yang Su asked, “Did Li Weihuan mention how long he’ll stay this time?”
Nanxi shook her head, “He didn’t say, but I think he’ll stay at least until Bai Yuchuan’s birthday is over!”
Lan Qiqi grumbled, “I think his excuse for returning is to celebrate Bai Yuchuan’s birthday.
In reality, he’s checking up on you, Nanxi!”
Nanxi frowned, “Where would I need checking up on?
Besides you girls pestering me daily, who else is there?”
Yang Su laughed, “Well, you never know.
Maybe you’re carrying on a clandestine affair right under our noses!”
Nanxi threw a pillow at her, “I would never!”
The next day, May 14th in the morning, Nanxi received a phone call to meet Mo Yan with her uncle Liang Youquan at 10 o’clock.
“Please take a look, if there are any objections, you can raise them now, and I will consult with President Lu and the lawyer, then get back to you as soon as possible…”
Mo Yan handed over the contract in his hands, speaking with a cold and distant tone.
Nanxi smiled, glanced at her uncle, who was trying to be calm, but it was evident that he was a little restrained!
Liang Qiaoqiao had once said that her father was a literary man and not a businessman at heart!
If it wasn’t for the small reputation he built up before his wife’s death, the arts business wouldn’t have survived.
After all, their family was living off what his wife had accumulated!
Sometimes she wondered how long people would remember the ones who have passed away.
Would they one day be forgotten?
Nanxi always thought Liang Qiaoqiao was cheerful and optimistic, but her sorrow was something beyond consoling.
She needed to figure everything out on her own, though the process might be hard!
“I’m curious as to why your boss wants to invest in my paper-thin business?
Aren’t you afraid of wasting time and money?” Her uncle bravely voiced his doubts.
“About that, President Lu has already spoken to Miss Gu Nanxi.
There’s no need for me to repeat it.” Mo Yan replied.
In the end, Liang Youquan signed the contract.
On the way back home, he asked, holding Nanxi’s hand, “I heard from Qiaoqiao that your roommate’s brother is friends with the boss.
Is that the reason why they trust us and returned the business to me?”
Nanxi nodded, “Sort of…”
Liang Youquan sighed,”I have always been honest and never believed in good luck falling from the sky.
When you get back, thank your roommate.
It would be nice if you invite her over for dinner sometime.
As you graduate and step into work life, it’s good to have trustworthy connections.
Real relationships are those developed in school, they’re genuine and enduring…”
Nanxi smiled softly, although the smile wasn’t natural.
Back at the dorm, Nanxi discovered that only Yang Su was there, busily working on her thesis, her hair a mess.
It was a funny sight but also sweet.
Why isn’t she here?” Nanxi asked.
“She went to see Sister Qiaoqiao.
Lanlan also wants to become a fitness trainer after graduation, and Sister Qiaoqiao knows a lot about that.” Yang Su responded without moving her eyes off her thesis.
Nanxi “oh”ed and didn’t disturb Yang Su further, she put her bag down and sat at her desk.
Yang Su looked up as if remembering something, “Oh, Professor Chen came by this afternoon.
He was looking for you.
I was going to call you, but he said there was no need, and that you should see him when you get back…”
It was mid-May, gentler than April.
The summer heat was gradually encroaching.
The breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers.
Embracing couples dotted the steps by the river, chatting idly and reveling in the intoxicating fragrance…
