Xian Zihao merely smiled, "It's not that I can't see or hear a lot of things, but it's just that it takes time for me to solved it."

Jiang Ruolan nodded. "Sorry, I was impulsive."

"Isn't that your nature? You're obviously a hedgehog, yet you still hide all your spikes. You're usually as meek as a cat. The moment you encountered something, you would immediately expose the thorns and then suddenly wound people."

Jiang Ruolan smirked. "Since when did President Xian know me so well?"

Xian Zihao smiled at her for a moment before looking at her with a cautious expression. "As for the matter we are discussing just now, less than half an hour after the incident, the children of the victim rushed to meet us. They're the ones demanding us to pay for their parents' lives with money. Since they asked for money, of course, I'm willing to take care of it in the simplest way possible."

Jiang Ruolan was dumbfounded, her mouth was wide open. "What kind of children are these?!"

"I presume that they had already thought that their parents were a burden and were unwilling to take care of them. Now that something like this has happened, it's convenient for them to earn a large sum of money as well." Xian Zihao sneered.

F*ck!

Jiang Ruolan quietly swore, but Xian Zihao heard it. He raised his eyebrows and smiled funnily at her.

"Tell me now, what do you need from me?" He sat up straight from his chair, raised his left hand and placed it on his cheek, then tilted his head and looked at her.

Jiang Ruolan embarrassedly cleared her throat, "Since you already asked for it and this matter is involving you, I then I will be honest."

Xian Zihao nodded slightly.

"It's like this. My friend's parents refused to leave the house. They also live in Bedford Street." Jiang Ruolan paused. She did not know how she should tell him this.

"Leaving all this aside, let's talk about the architecture of the alley. If it were renovated and improved, it would be a very good place, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be more profitable for the tourism industry? That's why I came to find you. Nothing else."

"You came to look for me just because of this matter?" Xian Zihao looked at her.

Jiang Ruolan was puzzled. "If not, what else?"

Xian Zihao curled his lips. "Mom didn't call you?"

"Call? Does she have my number?"

Xian Zihao did not answer and only raised his eyebrows slightly. Holding his chin with one hand, he sized her up with a single glance. "Do you have eye-catching outfits? Why are you wearing such old-fashioned colors every day?"

Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a confused expression. "What has that got to do with the clothes I'm wearing?"

She thought that dark colored clothing was very suitable for her. Furthermore, her clothes were not too expensive and cheap. Why did Xian Zihao ask her a question like this?

Did he want her to wear a dress like Cui Liuxian? If so, did she even need to wear thick makeup like her too?

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival this weekend."

"So?"

"We will go to my grandfather's house that night."

Jiang Ruolan: "…"

She became listless all of a sudden. "Back to your grandfather's house? The house where he and your father live? Are you for real?"

Xian Zihao smiled, his eyes clearly mocking her idiocy.

"Can I choose not to go? Why don't you go--"

Before she could finish it, Xian Zihao said lightly,

"This time, we will not be able to avoid it. After all, you are a member of Xian Family. The old man was angry with us and shut himself in the Xian Family's ancestral hall for a few days without coming out."

With that, he sighed again. "Are you afraid?"

"Who, who said I was scared?" Jiang Ruolan secretly rolled her eyes.

"That's good." The smile on his face disappeared and indicated with his eyes that if there was nothing else, she could leave.

Jiang Ruolan got up and walked towards the door. She only took two steps before she turned around abruptly. "About Bedford Street.."

"Demolition work will be temporarily halted, but it is basically impossible for the residents to stay there longer. Tell your friend's family to move as soon as possible." Xian Zihao casually took the document in one hand and opened it as he spoke, without batting an eyelid.

Although she did not know until when this demolition will be halted, but she was satisfied with the conclusion. She understood that all of this required time to resolve, so she did not keep pressing.

Suddenly, the heavy sandalwood door was pushed open from the outside. Secretary Du pushed his glass into his nose and smiled at her. "Miss Jiang."

She nodded. Secretary Du opened the door for her and said to Xian Zihao, "President Xian, Mr. Qin is here."

Jiang Ruolan stopped walking and turned to Secretary Du in surprised. "Mr. Qin? Which Mr. Qin? "

Her sudden question startled Secretary Du. He looked towards Xian Zihao, not sure if he should answer or not.

"Who else can it be other than Qin Gengxin?" Xian Zihao's voice was heard from behind her.

Jiang Ruolan turned her body to the side of the door and looked outside. She didn't even need to ask where Qin Gengxin was before she saw that ghostly bastard walking towards her from the elevator.

She was frightened. She immediately stepped back to Xian Zihao's office and said to Secretary Du, "Don't let him know I'm here!"

Jiang Ruolan quickly circled around the office under Secretary Du and Xian Zihao's puzzled gazes, trying to find a place for her to hide.

She suddenly looked at Xian Zihao's wide desk and without saying anything more, she hurried towards him and crouched under his desk. Xian Zihao was looking at her with bewilderment.

At the same time, Qin Gengxin's laughing voice was heard from outside the office door, "Tsk, I intend to surprise you, but who would have thought that Secretary Du would run to tell you."

Jiang Ruolan squatted under the table and raised her head, only to see Xian Zihao looking down at her with a frown. She quickly put her index finger to her lips and whispered, "Shh. Don't tell him I'm here." Then she put both hands together and waved at him. She then mouthed to him, "Please …"

Xian Zihao's mouth twitched. He finally shifted his gaze away from her and looking at Qin Gengxin, who had entered. He then signaled for Secretary Du to leave first.

As Secretary Du left, Qin Gengxin strolled with a smile on his face as he looked at his (Xian Zihao) office from left to right, "As one of the big investors in H City, you only have one pretty simple office. If outsiders come, they will surely laugh at you. Who would have thought that President Xian, who is quite popular amongst people, is a humble person. "

"The reason you came here was to make fun of me?"

"Not really, I'm not in a good mood. I came here to see your distressed face. When I saw that, my depressed mood improved a lot all of a sudden."

"Tch …" Xian Zihao scoffed.

Qin Gengxin sat on the wide leather sofa. He casually picked up the magazine on the tea table and flipped through two pages, then threw it back in a bored manner. With his legs crossed, he tore off two buttons on his shirt collar and looked around.

"Your office is full of books. Is this an office or a library?"

Xian Zihao deliberately ignored the warmth coming from his legs as he flipped the files he needed to sign. "Did you come here to see the decoration? Then, how is it? This office of mine is not bad, right?"

"You're too low-key. Such a big office only has one office desk, one sofa, one coffee table, an air conditioner, and a whole bookcase on the opposite wall. The difference between your office in Boston and here is too big."

Qin Gengxin suddenly noticed that there was a water dispenser beside him. He stood up and walked over, pouring a cup of water into a disposable paper cup and sipped. "Also, you have to change your way of treating guests. You're not considerate at all~"

Xian Zihao closed the document in his hand and looked at him. "In this country, it's always good to be a little more low-key."

"Hur hur." Qin Gengxin smiled mockingly. He took two sips of water, as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Xian Zihao looked at him indifferently, "Your return this time is not just coming to see me, right?

Qin Gengxin chuckled, "You're right! I want to advise you to return to Boston with me. No matter how clever and capable Guiying is, in the end, she's not like you. Although Xian Company's shares have not declined throughout the year, but there is still no trend to rise."
