Chapter 1472 - Shareholders“ Meeting 4

Xi Xiaye casually responded as she kept walking.Qi Lei did not look at Qi Feng either as he walked past him.

It was already late at night when Qi Lei sent Xi Xiaye downstairs. It was quiet outside. They walked side by side with Xi Xiaye on the left and Qi Lei on the right.

“Okay, I can go by myself now. You should head back. Tonight will be extremely crucial, so please let me know if anything happens. Also, you shouldn’t butt heads with Qi Feng for the time being. It’s just not the right time. Mr. Mu will be watching here, so don’t worry,” Xi Xiaye finally stopped and said.

Qi Lei was surprised to hear that from her, but he immediately responded, “Okay.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You should go.” When Xi Xiaye said that, Qi Lei glanced at her before turning around. His figure seemed bleak under the dim light, and all Xi Xiaye could do was just sigh.

After a while, she looked back and the chauffeur had come to pick her up.

As soon as Xi Xiaye got into the car, her cell phone in her pocket rang and she quickly took it out. When she saw that it was from the man, she tapped on the answer button.

“Are you okay? Are you coming back?” she asked calmly.

“Xiaye, come over to Zimo’s. I had a few drinks with Su Chen and the others, so I can’t drive. Come pick me up.” The man was slightly drunk, and it was obvious in his deep voice.

Xi Xiaye frowned when she heard that. “Why did you drink so much? Didn’t I tell you to watch it?”

“Just come here first. Hurry up.” He hung up right after he said that as he was probably feeling uncomfortable.

Xi Xiaye put her phone away and told the chauffeur the address.

Mu Yuchen did not really enjoy social situations. Even if there were only a few of his close friends, most of the time, they would just cook at one of their houses where they would just drink and chat.

When Xi Xiaye arrived, Zhou Zimo’s chauffeur had just sent Su Chen back. She could see the man standing and waiting at the stairs in front of the door while Zhou Zimo, who was beside him, also seemed a little drunk.

Mu Yuchen could barely stay awake, and he smelled like alcohol. Xi Xiaye could smell the strong stench when she got closer.

“Okay, I’m heading home,” Mu Yuchen turned and said to Zhou Zimo beside him as he passed the car key in his hand to Xi Xiaye.

Zhou Zimo nodded. “Alright, be careful on your way home.”

Xi Xiaye also nodded at Zhou Zimo before taking the car key from Mu Yuchen and walking towards the parked Cayenne.

Mu Yuchen quickly entered the car.

“You guys always get drunk when you get together. Can’t you drink moderately? And do you have to drink? You could just have some tea since you guys are so fussy about your tea anyway.” She glanced at him disapprovingly while helping him put his seatbelt on.

“We were enjoying ourselves, so we had one too many. They always get drunk, but I rarely do. Look at me now. I’m still quite sober, aren’t I?” he said casually as he subconsciously looked to the side and glared at her.

The strong odor of alcohol in the car made her frown and she said, “Would you have called me to come to pick you up if you weren’t drunk?”

She quickly fastened her own seat belt and sighed softly. “I’ll probably never understand the brotherhood between you guys. I’m glad you’re happy, but your health should be your priority. Zitong told me before that Su Chen smokes too much. If they want kids, he should cut down smoking.”

“You think too much. I didn’t quit drinking or smoking in the past, but my sons are still healthy and smart, aren’t they? Moderation is key. Su Chen and Ji Zitong seem to be a little unhappy recently. Please talk to her when you have the time. Su Chen has always been hotheaded and a little bit of an alpha male, so it’s better for her to not take things so seriously.”

“Did Su Chen tell you that he was unhappy with Ji Zitong?”

“We were drunk and he briefly mentioned it. Just drive,” he said downheartedly while urging Xi Xiaye to keep driving.

“Why didn’t you talk to Su Chen instead and persuade him to make it up to Ji Zitong?”

“Do you think every man is like me?” He rolled his eyes when he heard that.

She responded by making a face at him. However, he was right. Every time they have an argument, he normally composed himself and eventually gave in, so even if she wanted to be mad, she just could not seem to.

“I know that you’re patient and you’re a great person, or else, wouldn’t I be proving myself blind by being with you?”

“It’s not like you haven’t been blind before,” he replied with a faint smile and glared at her before leaning back in the chair leisurely as he lowered the window of the car. The expression on his face seemed contented.

“How are things at the hospital?” he asked in concern without forgetting what had happened.

Xi Xiaye stepped on the gas steadily as the car accelerated. “Qi Qiming hasn’t woken up yet and he’s still not out of the critical stage. When I got there, I happened to meet Qi Feng on the way, so I asked Ah Da and a few others to stay, thus we don’t have to worry. Qi Lei seems depressed, but somehow he seems different than before. I can’t really pinpoint what’s different about him. I just feel that he’s a little unpredictable,” she said.

“He hasn’t changed. He’s just showing his true self now. You don’t really know him,” Mu Yuchen said calmly.

“I don’t need to know him either. I just hope that he’ll get better. Seeing him like that is like seeing myself in the past, so I can’t bear to see him like that.” Xi Xiaye sighed softly and said, “Especially seeing Qi Feng who’s like a wild card, I’m really worried about what might happen.”

“I just heard the news that Qi Feng is planning to hold the shareholders’ meeting in a week,” Mu Yuchen mentioned the news he had just received after hearing her concern.

“A week later? Is he trying to seize the opportunity to take over as President of the Qi Kai Group?” Xi Xiaye’s eyes widened while she turned to look at Mu Yuchen in surprise.

“It’ll probably be difficult for Qi Qiming to recover in such a short time, and even if he regains consciousness, he may not have control over the situation. When will Qi Feng take action if not now?” Mu Yuchen replied casually.

“Then, what will Qi Lei do? Just watch him take over? How can we stop Qi Feng? I have no idea, so it’s all up to Qi Lei himself. After all, even if Qi Feng fails, he still has Tai Yu Corporation. As long as the company is managed well, it will be as good as Qi Kai after a few years.”
