Ye Yanxi naturally wouldn't think that He Zhenhua brought up her birthday to give her a present. Moreover, the relationship between her and He Zhenhua was like that of enemies and not friends. From her understanding of him, this was obviously impossible.
His mind raced as he thought of the most likely reason why He Zhenhua came to look for her, and that was … So she asked tentatively, ”At that time, I asked you, did you know about my biological parents? This time, you came … is it to tell my parents? ”
She had just finished speaking when He Zhenhua's expression changed.
Thus, Ye Yanxi knew that she guessed right. Although she was happy in her heart, it was no longer as urgent as when she was searching for her parents.
She did not think that He Zhenhua would be so kind as to tell her about the wedding ceremony. He was also his daughter, and He Zhenhua had always disliked her.
When they were in the mall, he had told Madam He that he was the ex-girlfriend of her daughter's boyfriend. He clearly had such a huge issue with her, how could he be kind in an instant?
”Don't you want to know about your biological parents?” He Zhenhua stared into Ye Yan's eyes, as if he was trying to decide if she wanted to recognize her parents or not.
Ye Yan Xi looked at him with a faint smile, ”It's been 16 years. I don't even know anything about them. I don't even know if it's true or false.”
”But your mother did bring you to this world. That is an indisputable fact.”
Hearing that, Ye Yan Xi ridiculed, ”Director He, I remember I once asked you for information about my father, but …” Have you forgotten what you said? ” Ye Yan Xi stared at his face, word for word, ”Tell me, you don't even know who my parents are.”
He Zhenhua's expression did not change, but he immediately replied, ”I really did not know at the time. Later, when I went back to think about it carefully, I recalled it.”
”Do you think I can believe what you're saying now?” Ye Yan Xi was a bit impatient, but she still politely smiled at him and said, ”Director He, since you've finished, can I leave now?”
”You really don't want to know who your parents are?” He Zhenhua looked at Ye Yan Xi and turned around without hesitation, ”Your mother has always been looking for you, and it was painful because of that, don't you want to know too?”
However, He Zhenhua's condescending attitude made Ye Yanxi very agitated.
It wasn't just the first time they met that He Zhenhua had been hostile towards her. It was also the same in the future encounters. Although it was due to He Man, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.
She didn't think that He Zhenhua had any good intentions in coming to her company this morning. Who knew what other motives he might have?
Since he didn't want to be controlled by others, it was better to not know anything.
She had come here alone for so many years, her parents had long since become carefree to her.
”Director He, I still have to work, so I won't keep you company.” Ye Yanxi turned around and smiled politely once more, glanced at He Zhenhua, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
He Zhenhua looked at Ye Yan Xi's resolute figure, and instantly fell into a trance.
He could clearly know the whereabouts of his parents by choosing to leave in such a decisive and suave manner, but he still chose to turn around. His proud attitude was somewhat similar to when he was young.
However...
He Zhenhua's eyes dimmed, and he almost blurted out the truth to Ye Yan Xi. But in the end, he still watched as she climbed up the elevator without looking back.
She knew that the current Ye Yan Xi wouldn't believe anything he said. If she was told, it would only make her feel more resistant, thinking that he was intentionally lying to her.
The resistance and wariness in her heart were all caused by him.
It seemed that this matter could only be left at the back for the time being.
Just as He Zhenhua was walking out of the building of the Xiao Group, the phone rang. It was He Zhenhua's man who had sent someone to follow He Man.
As he walked out, he picked up the phone. ”What is it?”
”Director He, after Miss went back to the hospital for two days, she was discharged again today. It seems like she's headed for the Jiang family.”
He Mang was going to the Jiang family?
He Zhenhua's face darkened. Actually, He Man was the main reason that Jiang Qizhen was so angry. If she had gone to find him, she didn't know if he would be able to accept this fact.
”Alright, I understand.”
He Zhenhua hung up the phone and immediately got into the car. He then instructed the driver in a low voice, ”Go to the Jiang family.”
The driver looked at He Zhenhua's expression and agreed. He started the car and didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Ye Yan Xi took the elevator up to the office and walked towards the office of the Ministry of Commerce.
Just as she reached the door, she saw the two bodyguards that were following her around, looking very anxious.
Seeing the look in their eyes, Ye Yan Xi suddenly felt guilty.
After all, he had sneaked in to see He Zhenhua.
Thus, she turned around and walked towards the corridor with fewer people.
It was almost time to go to work. Many of his colleagues had already entered the office, so no one had noticed that they were here.
”Miss Ye, we've been looking for you. Where did you go?” One of the bodyguards was probably anxious, seeing that there weren't many people around, he asked Ye Yan Xi.
