She replied Wang Hui and promised to meet her at the New Era Plaza at 3 p.m. later.

After breakfast, Xi Xiaye told Mu Yuchen when they were preparing to get to work, “Maybe you should drive a car yourself. I’ll go back to the Mu Residence with Grandmother.”

Mu Yuchen grabbed the car keys on the table and replied, “Ah Mo will come and pick me up. Let’s go.”

He went over beside her and a refreshing scent passed her. She went out of it for a moment. By the time she turned her head back at the sofa and wanted to take her briefcase, she realized that he was already holding it.

At the garage, she took the keys from him and opened the car door to get in. She then drove the car out and stopped for Mu Yuchen to swiftly sit in the front passenger seat.

She thought about it before suggesting, “Since Ah Mo has become a project manager, you only have Li Si with you now. Do you need another assistant? Things might get really busy after some time.”

“I’ve notified our branch in France. There’ll be a new assistant coming in a few days.” After he replied, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at her. “The stakeholders meeting for Yueying is happening in several days. Vice President Liu will attend as the second largest stakeholder. You…”

“I’ll go with him,” Xi Xiaye answered before he even finished his sentence with a clear gaze at his handsome face. Her eyes looked determined. “I should go for both work and personal reasons. I’m responsible for this project as well and I cannot back off.”

His eyes were glowing as he threw her a meaningful glance. He smiled and nodded, recognizing her determined expression. Sighing, he lectured, “That’s the right mindset. Sometimes, the idea of sacrificing for others doesn’t work well. Life wouldn’t be so tough if you lived a little more selfishly, and I hope you can do so.”

She did not reply to him. Instead, she accelerated the car quietly.

“I didn’t do anything with the document you gave me about the 20% of Yueying’s shares. It’s still under Mother’s name. I think we should give it back to her. After all, it’s something Father left for her. Maybe it means something significant to her,” Mu Yuchen spoke up after a brief moment of silence.

Xi Xiaye was a little shaken up when Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan were mentioned. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened as her eyes clouded over.

Xi Xiaye struggled for a while before finally opening up as she slowed the car down. “Mu Yuchen… I feel that my parents still have feelings for each other. Do you know that my father still misses my mother every New Year? After their divorce, my mother was enraged on several occasions due to some Xi family matter. In the end, my father would compromise… but I don’t understand why…”

“During the year I was expelled from the military academy, Mother looked for Father and asked him to deal with it for me, but… that was the first time I saw my mother cry. I then realized she’s not as strong as I imagined. In fact, she was fragile. Her pride and coldness was just her protective barrier. I asked her the other day if she still misses my father, and she told me she’s given all her feelings to Father, so she can’t love anyone else anymore…”

It was just like Shen Wenna to always feel very distant to others. The relationship between the mother-daughter pair seemed cold, but only people close to them understood that Xi Xiaye was very protective and loving towards her mother, Shen Wenna.

Mu Yuchen did not say anything. He looked at her quietly and played the role of a loyal listener.

“And Father… I want to know what happened between them, so I want to test them a little…” She mumbled at the end, refocusing on the road in front again as her clear eyes glittered.

Mu Yuchen was quiet for some time before saying quietly, “Everything will get better. You don’t have to be unhappy about this.”

She did not respond to him again and just looked ahead silently, speeding the car steadily.

Just as she sat down inside her office, her assistant, Xiao Mei, came in with several documents.

“Director Xi, these two documents need your signature.” Xiao Mei opened the documents and put them before Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye took them and looked through it. After that, she swiftly signed her name at the corner. When she handed them back, she said, “Xiao Mei, please get me some stationery and toys like the last time I asked you to. Send it to me here tomorrow at noon.”

Xiao Mei nodded. She had been with Xi Xiaye for a long while after all, and she understood what she meant. She must be visiting the orphanage up in the north…

“Noted, Director. I’ll get it done later. It’ll be here quickly!”

Assistant Xiao Mei put on a smile as she closed the documents. Then, she asked out of concern when she saw Xi Xiaye did not seem well, “Director Xi, what’s wrong? You don’t look very well!”

Xi Xiaye suddenly stiffened.

After her business with Mu Yuchen till midnight, she still had to wake up early for work today, so she kind of felt exhausted as she thought about those unhappy moments.

“I’m fine,” Xi Xiaye replied indifferently.

“Director, you don’t look very well. Remember to take a break if you’re tired. You must be exhausted working for the opening ceremony of Imperial Sky Entertainment City. By the way, Director, did you see the papers? The female star, Xi Xinyi, is being discussed right now because of her pouring wine onto you that night. It’s all over Weibo! Many of our staff followed Xi Xinyi’s Weibo to get updates on the news. It seems that she hired many keyboard warriors to defend her and push the blame onto you! Fortunately, people weren’t sure if you’re the one that’s in conflict with Xi Xinyi… However, her fans seem to be pretty aggressive…”

Xiao Mei was suddenly reminded of this matter, so she reported it to Xi Xiaye.

She had found out about what happened after reading the entertainment magazines yesterday. Initially, she thought that things would just die out after several days like usual. However, the matter snowballed into a much bigger issue and caused a big fuss on Weibo. Someone even posted the close-up photo there and it was gaining a lot of attention.
