Chapter 360 - 360: Reunion
“Teacher Xu, do you know what happened back then?” Only then did He Miao find it difficult to maintain her composure on the surface.
In fact, there had always been a suspicion in her heart. Why would Zhong Fei easily agree to He Feng marrying another woman? She had already given birth to a daughter for He Feng back then. Wasn’t she afraid that He Feng would fall in love with his officially married wife and abandon her?
He Miao thought about it and felt that the only reason why Zhong Fei was willing to give up her husband was that the two of them had reached some kind of consensus.
That was why she was unwilling to believe that Ye Ning’s death back then was an accident.
Xu Zheng stared at her with a solemn expression and said,”Actually, I’ve always suspected that your mother was killed by someone, but I’m just an ordinary spice master. I don’t have any connections, so I couldn’t find out the truth. In addition, He Chen was about to leave the country at that time, so I didn’t dare to say anything.”
He Miao knew that he was a cautious person and would not easily get himself into trouble. Therefore, for him to say these words to her today, it was obvious that he wanted to use her and He Chen to uncover the doubts that had been buried in his heart for so many years.
She nodded without thinking.” Teacher Xu, don’t worry. As long as you tell us the truth, Dad and I will not let Mom die in vain.”
Xu Zheng looked at He Miao and suddenly saw the shadow of the two people from the past in her. The unwillingness in his heart also miraculously dissipated.” Before your mother got into an accident, she actually came to see me.”
At that time, Ye Ning had already married He Feng. She relied on the impressive results she had achieved in school to establish the Ye Corporation on her own. She was so busy that she had to sleep in the office every day.
It was then that Xu Zheng met Ye Ning again.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time since graduation. Xu Zheng originally planned to develop spices by himself and then sell them to the company responsible for sales to promote them.
But after he met Ye Ning, he suddenly changed his mind.
Xu Zheng was led to the CEO’s office by his secretary. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the conversation inside finally ended.
Ye Ning went out to welcome him with an apologetic expression. When he saw the handsome Xu Zheng, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.” I didn’t expect you to have changed so much after not seeing you for so long. I remember that you were still a stupid kid who didn’t know how to dress up when you were in university.”
Xu Zheng’s nervousness dissipated a little after being teased by her like this, as if the years of estrangement between the two of them did not exist.
He smiled shyly and could not help but tell the truth,”My assistant specially found a stylist to dress me up before I came. You know, I don’t usually pay attention to these things.”
Ye Ning smiled and nodded, then personally invited her into the office.” The secretary showed me your new work last time. I really like that perfume, so I wanted to ask for the formula in your hands. I’ll let the company mass produce and sell it, and I’ll give you a share of the profits. I just don’t know if you’re willing to do it.”
The recipe was the work of an incense maker for who knows how long, but it was not so difficult to give up in the face of money. After all, no one could live their life with ideals forever.
No matter how many awards Xu Zheng received, he was still a drop in the ocean in the incense industry. If he could not create value, he would only be eliminated by the market.
He knew this very well, which was why he had come personally today. He did not just want to see if Ye Ning was doing well.
“I can sell the formula. When the time comes, your company will draw up a contract with the specific price. If it’s suitable, I’ll sign it.” Xu Zheng held his teacup and nodded with a smile.
Ye Ning sized him up and suddenly stood up from behind his desk. His charming eyes sparkled with a soul-stirring light.” Old classmate, it’s been so long since we last met. It’s too boring to talk about business. Why don’t I take this opportunity to treat you to a meal?”
“No, no, no, how can I let you spend money?” Xu Zheng blushed in embarrassment. He immediately regretted his rejection and quickly added,”It’s better if I treat you to a meal.”
Ye Ning smiled and nodded in agreement.” Alright, then it’s settled. You treat me, and I’ll pick the place.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
At that time, Xu Zheng found that after seeing Ye Ning’s voice and smile, he easily fell for her again, but he had no way to stop his heart from staying on her.
The two of them ate at a restaurant near the company and casually chatted about what had happened after graduation. He could see the loneliness and hardship in her eyes, and his heart ached.
“If you need any help, you must call me.” He placed his name card in front of her and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure outside. However, when he looked closer, he realized that there was nothing outside.
Only Ye Ning’s car was parked alone at the entrance.
“Sure, you too.” Ye Ning took out a tissue and wrote down his phone number before giving it to Xu Zheng.
As soon as the two warm hands touched, Xu Zheng thought about it for a long time..
