Chapter 25. Chi Chi, You Are So Slow…

It was a bit ridiculous to say that He Shuyu, the woman who calls the wind and rain in Jiangcheng, was not actually the granddaughter of Master He.

Before she was sixteen years old, He Shuyu never thought that such an outrageous event as a real or fake daughter of a rich family would happen to her.

That year, just after her birthday, He Jinshu was in a car accident and needed a blood transfusion in the hospital, but when she was there, she discovered that her blood type did not match that of her parents.

What happened next was like a bizarre dream.

She was born in the hospital with another girl and was swapped.

He Jinshu, who had been abandoned by Master He since her birth, seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw. He struggled to get his biological daughter back.

Master He had always been very kind to her and did not even mind that she wasn’t his biological grandchild. After finding her biological parents, he had asked her if she would like to go home. If she didn’t, he would continue to treat her as his own granddaughter.

He Shuyu was at a loss for words, but she accidentally overheard a conversation between her real father and another girl.

He Jinshu was furious at He Shuyu’s achievements and would always shout at her, yet he did not dare break off relations with her, or even mention that He Shuyu was not a member of the He family at all.

He Shuyu had never imagined that she and her real father would meet under such circumstances.

She had once had expectations, but unfortunately, they had been snuffed out while they were still budding.

Faced with Ji Qiuyu’s provocative query, He Shuyu raised her eyes slightly with a sarcastic expression, “Do I know you that well?”

Ji Qiu Yu was the best at pretending to be good and knowing how to behave in order to please people. That fool He Jinshu was fooled by her and even used her as a capital to fight with He Shuyu.

Everyone else treated her like a treasure too. Ji Ming had to pay for Ji Qiuyu’s studies abroad even though he lived in such a run-down neighbourhood.

He probably didn’t know that his beloved daughter had long been calling He Jinshu her father and had even taken a lot of money from He Jinshu.

Ji Qiuyu froze slightly, probably not expecting He Shuyu to be so disrespectful in front of Ji Ming. She quickly raised her eyebrows and said, “Sorry… Miss He …… I don’t mean anything else. I just think you should talk to dad. Say hello.”

A twenty-six-year-old woman was still required to demonstrate grievances of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old… He Shu Yu looked at her like she was a little ridiculous and heard the reluctance hidden in the phrase “Miss He.”

After all, Ji Qiuyu was the real Miss He. After her identity was revealed, she had tried to become a rich daughter. Unfortunately, Master He took care of her but was not close to her. He had no intention of handing over the He Group to her.

Ji Qiuyu was so ingratiating that she even pretended to be pitiful at his funeral and cooperated with He Jinshu in his attempt to take away all of her assets.

He Shuyu had seen far more green tea of higher quality than Ji Qiuyu, so she laughed softly at her words. She took Chi Xiuyuan’s hand and said, “I’m hungry. Let’s go.”

Seven short words, ignoring her completely.

Ji Ming saw the intimate gesture between her and Chi Xiuyuan, and his lips trembled. He wanted to say something but held back, finally saying, “Shuyu, I bought food and was planning to cook. Do you want to-“

“Thank you but there is no need.” Ji Ming’s words were interrupted by He Shuyu before he could finish.

The latter pulled Chi Xiuyuan out of the neighborhood, leaving the two far behind.

Chi Xiuyuan followed her force and walked beside her, sensing her unpleasant emotions. He did not ask more questions but reached out to wrap his arms around her waist and said, “What do you want to eat tonight? Do you have the ingredients at home?”

He Shuyu had long since passed the age of being swayed by those emotions, but she still couldn’t help but lean her head on Chi Xiuyuan’s shoulder. After collecting her disturbed mood, she said, “I want to eat fish today, sweet and sour fish.”

She had no particular preference for taste, but loved sweet and sour fish. Chi Xiuyuan had made it once before, and she still thought about it.

Chi Xiuyuan wrapped his arm around her waist and dotingly responded, “Okay.”

He wasn’t curious as to why He Shuyu knew Uncle Ji and called him her father.

To him, the person He Shuyu was was far more important than her identity.

When he was overwhelmed, it was He Shuyu who stood by his side, solving problems for him and giving him all sorts of help.

He Shuyu was really busy, not to mention that she hadn’t checked her phone all day today.

After setting aside the unpleasant encounter, she picked up her mobile phone and kept calling, dealing with company matters on the way. It was nothing too urgent, but all of which she, the person in charge, had to know and see to.

When Chi Xiuyuan drove to He Shuyu’s place, Secretary Qiu happened to come down from the car with his assistant holding a thick file.

He didn’t show any curiosity when he saw Chi Xiuyuan beside He Shuyu, but the assistant, whose expression management was obviously not as good as Secretary Qiu’s, gave him a couple of extra glances.

Chi Xiuyuan couldn’t understand business matters, so he pulled his suitcase into the living room, poured water for them, and then went into the kitchen.

When he was on his way back in the car, he had already called He Shuyu’s life assistant. They were extremely prompt and had delivered and put in the fridge all the ingredients he needed. The fish were recently killed and particularly fresh.

Secretary Qiu had known for a long time that his boss had a handsome young boyfriend and had met Chi Xiuyuan several times from afar. He was very professional and would not talk about others behind their backs, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his boss finding a young boyfriend.

After briefly reporting some urgent work to He Shuyu, Secretary Qiu could see that the former was a bit tired and politely excused himself.

He Shuyu didn’t stop him either. She knew that although she had a good relationship with some of her subordinates, the other party would be somewhat formal in front of her. Also, she really wasn’t in the mood to entertain guests today.

When Chi Xiuyuan came out and saw that the two of them had left, he was still a bit surprised. When he saw He Shuyu on the sofa with her eyes closed, he went over and rubbed her temples for her.

The latter slightly turned her face sideways and pressed it into his hand, pampering herself like a little girl, “Chi Chi, you’re so kind. What would I do without you?”

Chi Xiuyuan rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, and she grabbed his fingers. He simply lowered his head and gently kissed her between the eyebrows, jokingly saying, “With President He’s many secretaries and assistants, it’s surprising that you can be taken care of.”

The little boyfriend, who had always been a bit restrained in front of her, was now joking. He Shu Yu buried her face in his palm and laughed in a low voice, “Then Xiao Chi, you must do a good job, or I will tie you up so you can warm my bed for me.”

The mood was slightly more relaxed, but not so much that she suddenly became bold and spontaneous.

Hearing her say that, Chi Xiuyuan still couldn’t help but redden his ears. Fearing that He Shuyu would laugh at him, he simply kissed her eyelids and said, “Get up. Let’s go eat so you can rest afterwards and go to work tomorrow.”

She reached out and rubbed the corner of his mouth, which was still bruised. She tilted her head like a child who hadn’t grown up and said, “I want a hug.”

Chi Xiuyuan was a little sore from her rubbing and opened his mouth slightly to bite her finger, saying, “President He really doesn’t know how to not hurt people. You’re hurting the wound.”

He Shuyu smiled and put more force on it, teasing, “When you go to school tomorrow, guess what people will say about how you got that wound? You fought with someone to steal your girlfriend? Is that not what a good student would do?”

“Where did all the gossip come from? It’s not like they had anything to do with how it came about.” Chi Xiuyuan picked her up from the sofa, not minding that she was making fun of his wounds.

He Shuyu wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him heavily on the cheek, “If anyone asks, just say that you got hurt for your girlfriend, so that those little girls won’t still be staring at you all day long.”

He Shu Yu really knew a lot about how popular her little boyfriend was at school with that little speaker, Fang Qiao, around.

“You’re mine now.” She poked her label down heavily.

How could a freshly minted brat stand to have a beautiful, well-built girlfriend wriggling around in his arms?

Chi Xiuyuan clenched his muscles and hugged her tightly, pressing his voice into her ear and warning, “Eat well and rest early later. Otherwise, you’ll be late for work tomorrow and you’ll have to think about what the secretaries and assistants will gossip about.”

He Shuyu also really couldn’t bear another battle. After feeling the change in her body, she honestly couldn’t move anymore, but then rightfully said, “I’m late and leaving early for a day or two. I don’t see how they would talk about it.”

“Fine, fine, you can go to work whenever you want in your company. Now eat well first. ” It was just that she had eaten a bit of porridge for lunch today. He Shuyu’s stomach was not good, so if she didn’t eat again, it would probably rebel again.

The sweet and sour fish Chi Xiuyuan made was just right for He Shuyu’s taste. It was probably because she had consumed a bit too much in the past two days. She ate two bowls of rice in one go. 

After dinner was over, He Shuyu yawned and was sleepy.

She took the opportunity to pull his suitcase into her room while Chi Xiuyuan was organising the kitchen utensils. When he wondered where his suitcase had gone and went to find it, she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s waist and said that there were no other rooms in the villa.

What was the point of living separately when you were already here?

He Shuyu didn’t feel like her lies were unconvincing at all. After pushing him into the bathroom, she arranged his suitcase for him and called her clothing assistant to send over some new clothes tomorrow.

After taking a shower in the large bathroom, Chi Xiuyuan was still a bit confused. When he dawdled out of the bathroom, He Shuyu had already showered and changed into… his black T-shirt.

The snow-white skin under the black fabric was as clear as glass, and the red marks at the collarbone were like red plums blooming in the snow on a winter day. It was particularly attractive.

The tip of Chi Xiuyuan’s nose was hot, and he hastily averted his eyes. The culprit, as if she did not know how attractive she was, hugged the quilt and said softly, “Chi Chi, you are so slow ……”
