Chapter 1070 - Unfamiliarity (1/2)
In the SUV.
Xia Mo, who was sitting in the back, looked at the rearview mirror. She sighed when she saw the man’s thin jaw clenched tightly, his lips pursed into a straight line and his eyes were indifferent.
The man driving ignored her.
Xia Mo could not help but sigh again.
He still ignored her.
Xia Mo clicked her tongue, put her head into the gap between the driver’s seat and front pa.s.senger’s seat and looked at Xiao Yi’s well defined and handsome face. “Uncle Xiao, what happened between you and Chief Editor Xia? Both of you sold your shares and stopped working in the company. And why was Chief Editor Xia together with the doctor she had a blind date with?
“I heard the conversation between them and that doctor seemed to say something about taking care of Chief Editor Xia…”
Before Xia Mo could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Yi coldly, “We’re over and there’s no need to mention her again.”
His words made Xia Mo fall silent.
Glancing at Xiao Yi’s expressionless face, Xia Mo did not ask more questions.
The car drove for another two hours and finally came to the foot of the mountains. The weather in the mountains were unpredictable. It rained a few days ago and the road was muddy.
Xiao Yi got out of the car to take a look and Xia Mo followed him.
“The road is not easy to go through and it’s dangerous to drive. Let’s walk there.”
Xia Mo nodded. “I’ll get the camera.”
Xiao Yi took Xia Mo’s luggage and camera. He went forward and said simply, “Follow me.”
Xia Mo followed Xiao Yi’s tall back and she turned back from time to time. After walking a distance, Xia Mo waved happily when she saw that Xia Yanran was walking over. “Chief Editor Xia.”
The soft muddy road was not very easy to walk on and Xia Mo was walking slowly, so it was not surprising for Xia Yanran to have caught up.
Xiao Yi heard Xia Mo’s shout, but he did not turn back and continued forward.
The princ.i.p.al was already waiting at the village intersection and seeing Xiao Yi coming over, he greeted him warmly. The princ.i.p.al wanted to take the things Xiao Yi was carrying, but Xiao Yi declined.
“Mr Xiao, if it weren’t for you, the children’s cla.s.srooms would still be made of mudbricks. In this weather, it’s impossible to go to the school.” The down-to-earth princ.i.p.al bowed to Xiao Yi again and again.
Xiao Yi took the princ.i.p.al’s hand. “I’m a rough man and didn’t study much, but it’s my honor to help these children.”
…
Xia Yanran saw Xiao Yi from afar.
As she approached, Xia Yanran was not surprised to hear the princ.i.p.al’s words. When they were together before, she knew that Xiao Yi had donated a school.
Few people in the mafia were as loving as him.
Along the way, Xiao Yi talked to the princ.i.p.al from time to time. Although he did not study much, he was good at communicating and could speak to anyone.
The muddy road was narrow and it was difficult to walk, so the group of them could not walk fast.
Junyuan was beside Xia Yanran so she did not dare to look at Xiao Yi. She had her eyes lowered and looked at her own feet as she walked.
When they arrived, Xia Yanran did not think it would be so difficult to walk and her shoes were all stained with mud.
Wen Qian saw that Xia Yanran was staring at her feet the whole time and thought she could not stand having her shoes dirtied. He took a step forward, standing in front of Xia Yanran and bent slightly. “Yanran, the road is not easy to walk, let me carry you!”
Xia Mo was walking behind Xiao Yi and was not far away from Wen Qian. She heard Wen Qian’s words and looked back at Xia Yanran and Wen Qian.
