Chapter 344: Chapter 344
Ye Xiangxue looked at Hua Xiaomo, her eyes filled with intense pain.
"Xiao Mo, I really can’t stand staying in this place anymore. If Ya Jun really marries that woman, I feel like my world is about to collapse," Ye Xiangxue said suddenly. "Xiao Mo, I don’t want to stay here any longer. Can you take me with you?"
Listening to her say this, Hua Xiaomo’s eyes also dimmed.
How could she not understand the pain Ye Xiangxue was feeling now? She truly sympathized with her, but at this moment, only by accepting reality could she stop herself from getting hurt further!
Hua Xiaomo thought for a while and then looked at her. "My gaming company is in City B. If you’re willing to go back to City B with me, then let’s go back together. You can work at my company. Or, you could be my secretary if you like!"
Ye Xiangxue burst into laughter. She looked at Hua Xiaomo and said, "Rather than being a secretary, I actually prefer a job that’s more challenging. Oh, and Xiao Mo, I can help you with sales for your gaming software!"
"Great! Having a sales manager like you to handle my sales will really put my mind at ease," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile. She found it unexpected that her trip to City A, despite unclear cooperation and listing prospects, had resulted in her bringing back such a capable ally. This was actually quite good. After all, something was gained. It wasn’t a wasted trip, was it?
"Mhm," Ye Xiangxue nodded. Sitting next to Hua Xiaomo, she felt very safe, and this feeling of security was what Hua Xiaomo provided her.
"Xiao Mo, you’re so kind," Ye Xiangxue said gratefully.
"Don’t mention it. We’re good sisters; it’s natural for us to help each other," Hua Xiaomo replied with a laugh. She then looked at Ye Xiangxue; for some reason, she felt a lot of sympathy for the girl.
In fact, Ye Xiangxue was quite nice. When Hua Xiaomo first saw her with her older brother, Wen Yajun, she thought they were quite a match. But fate is fickle, and she never expected her brother would fall for Dong Xiaoyou. Now, they were about to marry.
So, if Ye Xiangxue were to stay in City A, she might run into Wen Yajun and Dong Xiaoyou from time to time, which would be a painful ordeal for her. Taking Ye Xiangxue away might be a good thing. It would allow her to stop potentially disturbing their lives and let her brother and Dong Xiaoyou have peace. That would be pretty good too.
Ye Xiangxue nodded emotionally, then looked at Hua Xiaomo as something occurred to her. "Xiao Mo," she asked, "are you married yet?"
Hua Xiaomo was taken aback by the question and let out a wry laugh. "No, I don’t even have a partner. How could I be married?"
But in an instant, she remembered what Qi Longbing had done to her in that bridal shop earlier. Her heart sank. She couldn’t quite describe the feeling. When he had been so physically close to her at that moment, she had still felt a lingering affection. However, when she looked into his eyes, all she saw was hatred for her. Forget it, what’s the point of thinking about this? He was going to get married in a couple of days, and when he did, she wouldn’t stay in City A. She would return to City B.
"Ah? You haven’t married in five years? So you must be twenty-six years old this year, right?" Ye Xiangxue looked at Hua Xiaomo and frowned slightly.
"Yes, you’re right. As a CEO, with wealth and influence at your disposal, I believe your standards are probably quite high too. I’m afraid ordinary men don’t catch your eye, huh!" Ye Xiangxue said humorously.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Ye Xiangxue, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
She was a single mother herself. It wasn’t that men couldn’t catch her eye; her main concern was not wanting her daughter to suffer any injustice.
"Isn’t it better not to get married? I can stay by your side, Ye Xiangxue. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I’ll definitely help you if I can," Hua Xiaomo said briskly.
She would definitely help her old friends if she had the means. This was her principle in life.
"Thank you, Hua Xiaomo. You’re always so kind; you’re just too nice. But I’ve heard something," Ye Xiangxue said, sounding mysterious. She was afraid Hua Xiaomo might take it the wrong way, but she felt it was necessary to tell her.
"What is it? Just tell me."
"It’s that President Qi seems to be preparing to get married. I only found out through President Wang from Xingda." Ye Xiangxue looked at Hua Xiaomo and then continued, "Xiao Mo, do you still keep in touch with President Qi?"
Hua Xiaomo fell silent for a moment before answering, "It’s over between him and me. He’s getting married, and I already know."
"I see. Actually, if two people aren’t compatible, it’s better not to be together. It will save both parties from suffering later on," Ye Xiangxue consoled her. Updates are released by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"You’re quick to advise others now. You should apply the same to yourself. Don’t get desperate, okay? Love has to be mutual. Now that my brother, Wen Yajun, has chosen his happiness, you shouldn’t carry any burden anymore. Letting go might actually lead to greater happiness for yourself," Hua Xiaomo advised earnestly.
Ye Xiangxue sighed. "We really are bound by the same fate!"
"Let’s not talk about this anymore. Order whatever you want to eat; today, I’m treating you," Hua Xiaomo said with a laugh, and quickly began to place their order.
Ye Xiangxue ordered many delicious items, and then the two girls began to eat heartily at the café.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Xiangxue asked, "Xiao Mo, when are we going back to City B? It would be a good opportunity for me to hand over my work too."
"In two days," Hua Xiaomo answered after thinking for a moment.
"In two days? Oh, that’s fine. Then I’ll go inform President Wang about my situation, and afterwards, I’ll be ready to head to City B with you to seek new opportunities," Ye Xiangxue said with a smile.
Ye Xiangxue’s eyes darkened slightly. Right, wouldn’t that be the day Qi Longbing was getting married? And with Qi Longbing getting married, it was indeed the time for Hua Xiaomo to leave. It seemed their paths were truly not meant to cross again.
"Okay, then I’ll wait for your news. Call me directly once you’ve finished handing over your work. Oh, right, I’ve got a new phone. Let me give you my new number," Hua Xiaomo said, promptly sharing her new phone number with Ye Xiangxue.
After Ye Xiangxue had taken down the phone number, she looked at it for a moment, then said slowly, "Xiao Mo, I will follow you closely and strive to boost your company’s performance."
"Ye Xiangxue, don’t say that. I’m hiring you because I believe in your abilities. Actually, I’m quite shrewd!" Hua Xiaomo said humorously. "You see, even my headhunting is done so unobtrusively! I just hope President Wang from Xingda doesn’t resent my aggressive tactics."
