Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (43)
Chapter 43 Best Friend
While the two were talking, on the other side, Ying Mohua’s assistant handed him a piece of information and said respectfully: “Boss, what you asked me to investigate about the development of Xia’s Enterprise in the past ten years is basically here. ”
Ying Mohua flipped through the information briefly, his eyes fell on the last few pages, he frowned and said, “In recent years, their family seems to have become very close to the Song family?”
”The Song and Xia families are old friends.” The assistant seemed to have checked the Song family as well, and was able to answer immediately, “I heard that a few months ago, the two families were married.”
”Marriage?” Ying Mohua frowned, “Is Xia Liang married?”
”It’s not Xia Liang, it’s his younger brother Xia Lin, who is married to Song Yan, the only son of the Song family.
Ying Mohua was startled: “I remember. China doesn’t seem to have passed a gay marriage law yet, right?”
”Yes, so the Song and Xia families held a family wedding banquet, which caused quite a sensation at the time.”
Ying Mohua laughed: “I haven’t heard of such an interesting thing. I’m really ignorant.”
”In total, it seems that the boss happened to go back to the United States at that time, so he missed this incident.”
”Maybe.” Ying Mohua said, “I often heard my mother say that the older generation in China are rigid and conservative. I didn’t expect that this time it opened my eyes.”
The assistant smiled and said: “I heard that these two families can get married. Xia Liang, the elder brother, did a lot of work. The family wedding banquet was also organized by Xia Liang.”
Ying Mohua looked slightly surprised and said with his hands, “This Xia Liang really makes me more and more interested.”
Then, he dismissed the assistant and began to look through the information carefully.
Half an hour later, he called his assistant: “You mentioned in the information that his father switched the main market from overseas to domestic four years ago because several branches in the United States suffered large losses? ”
”Yes,” the assistant said, “Although four years have passed, the losses of those branches have still not been fully recovered, and there is still some tail left.”
Ying Mohua narrowed his eyes slightly: “Then… let’s find a way to hold them back.”
”Boss, what do you mean…?” The assistant listened attentively.
”Go find the heads of their branches in the United States and throw some bait to them,” Ying Mohua said in a gentle tone. “Be careful to hide your identity, use tactful methods, and don’t do it too early.” It scares the grass and scares the snake.”
The assistant responded repeatedly, but at the same time he was a little puzzled: “But boss, if you do this, you’re probably going to make Xia Liang unhappy, right?”
Ying Mohua laughed: “Only when a hero saves a beauty after forcing her to a dead end, will she be grateful to you, don’t you think so?”
The assistant quickly flattered him: “The boss is wise.”
In the next few months, Ying Mohua seemed to have disappeared, and did not appear to disturb Xia Liang’s life again. Gradually, Xia Liang forgot about that phone call.
After Xia Lin tested Xia Liang on the phone last time, the couple became much more at ease. Even if they occasionally talked on the phone, they never mentioned the meeting again.
The two of them even took the initiative to cover for Xia Liang. Once, Mrs. Xia was traveling through D city with a group and wanted to see her eldest grandson. However, Xia Lin coaxed her out of the idea.
Afterwards, Xia Liang heard about this. While feeling grateful, she couldn’t help but secretly reflect on herself, whether she should be more honest with her younger brother in the future. After all… at critical moments, this younger brother is still relatively reliable.
During this period, Zhou Shuo still traveled between City B and City D. Although he was too busy to be busy, no matter how busy he was on weekends, Zhou Shuo would rush back to the apartment in City D to accompany Xia Liang, because in his opinion, Only where Xia Liang is is his home.
Xia Liang also clearly felt that after these months of intense training, Zhou Shuo became more and more comfortable in handling some urgent matters and key decisions.
In the past, Zhou Shuo was not very confident in his own judgment. He would report the progress of his work to Xia Liang almost every night and ask Xia Liang to point out any deficiencies.
Later, gradually, he was able to judge right from wrong by himself. He gave less detailed reports and only asked some key points.
Later, he asked less questions. When faced with a major decision, he would first think of several plans on his own and then discuss them with Xia Liang.
Xia Liang felt very pleased with Zhou Shuo’s obvious progress. If a few months ago Zhou Shuo was still a child standing under the stairs and looking up at him, then now Zhou Shuo has gradually climbed up the corridor and is almost on par with him.
But it was not enough, Xia Liang thought silently in his heart. He put so much effort into cultivating Zhou Shuo, not only needed Zhou Shuo to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but also needed Zhou Shuo to be able to stand alone.
Because he urgently needs Zhou Shuo’s help so that the Xia family can go further and broader in their generation.
When Xia Liang was more than six months pregnant, Ke Mei came to give him a second comprehensive examination as agreed, and also conducted an in-depth assessment of the fetus’s development.
This time, in addition to Du Lanze, there was an uninvited guest among the entourage. The other person introduced himself to Xia Liang politely: “Hello, Mr. Xia, I am Wen Ping, your attending doctor. From now on, your Every prenatal checkup, right up to the delivery, will be my responsibility.”
Xia Liang quickly understood that this was the best doctor Du Lanze mentioned on the phone last time.
Xia Liang nodded to him indifferently. Although he didn’t show it on his face, Du Lanze brought the person without his consent in advance, which made him feel a little unhappy.
”I hope you don’t misunderstand,” Wen Ping seemed to have seen through Xia Liang’s thoughts and explained in a good-tempered manner, “Although we really hope to win a dreamer like you, if you are really unwilling to leave your hometown, we will I will respect your decision. For now, the most important thing is that your child can be born healthy and safe, isn’t it?”
Seeing Wen Ping’s gentle and sincere attitude, Xia Liang’s hostility towards him gradually disappeared. He nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble Doctor Wen.”
”You should.” Wen Ping paused, “But, I have a merciless request.”
”Doctor Wen, please speak.”
”In the next few months, I will live next door to your apartment so that I can observe and take care of you nearby every day. I hope Mr. Xia can cooperate with me and not turn me away.”
Xia Lin was a little surprised: “You… live next door?”
”Yes, I have already rented the house.” Wen Ping smiled, “I’m going to decide first and then pay later. I hope Mr. Xia doesn’t mind.”
Zhou Shuo had been standing behind Xia Liang without saying anything. Seeing that Xia Liang was a little hesitant, Zhou Shuo persuaded him: “Brother Liang, during this period, I can only come back once every week. I can’t take care of you all the time, and I feel very worried. Why don’t you bother Dr. Wen to take care of him nearby?”
Xia Liang glanced at Zhou Shuo in surprise. In the past, this boy was very wary of everyone, but now he was very reasonable.
But Zhou Shuo turned to look at Wen Ping: “With all due respect, Doctor Wen should be an Omega too, right?”
Wen Ping laughed: “It seems that Mr. Zhou is more sensitive to pheromones. I’m afraid Mr. Xia hasn’t figured out my gender yet, right?”
Xia Liang touched his nose awkwardly. Du Lanze was right. He had indeed never been very sensitive to pheromones, and he had never really thought about issues from the perspective of ABO on gender. In his opinion, a man is a man. A woman is a woman.
Wait a minute… So, Zhou Shuo accepted Wen Ping so easily because he was actually looking for a best friend for him?
