Although she had taken his credit card, she had no intentions of using it. She had only accepted it out of courtesy so as not to offend him.
Half an hour later, as Huo Yunshen sat in the van, a young man in a black uniform jacket appeared.
The young man confidently opened the door of the van, got in and sat beside Huo Yunshen. Huo Yunshen looked up, and was surprised to see the edgy looking youth.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me? I’m Jing Xi.”
Xu Xiyan curved her lips into a warm smile. It was a smile that was very familiar to him, but everything else about her was different.
Huo Yunshen looked up and down at her curiously. She had put on a short silver wig and wore silver studs through her earlobes. She looked smart and handsome in her new makeup.
She was completely disguised as a man. How could he recognize her?
“You surprised me. I never thought you would disguise yourself as a man,” exclaimed Huo Yunshen, surprised that she had dressed up as a man. She looked so handsome and cool, and there was nothing about her that looked out of place.
“Haha!” Xu Xiyan laughed. “My disguise will save you a lot of trouble, don’t you think?”
“Right!” Huo Yunshen smiled and raised a thumbs-up at her, praising her cleverness.
“From now on, my name is Ye Xun. Okay?”
“Okay,” Huo Yunshen nodded, then ordered the chauffeur to start driving.
To be precise, Xu Xiyan had disguised herself to look like her senior, Ye Xun. Though she did not look completely like him, she still resembled him in some ways.
She was literally stealing Ye Xun’s identity, but since he was still in Estan and was unlikely to return to Zstan, he would still be clueless even if she used his identity for mischief. Hehehe!
…
In the garden of the Huo family mansion, there were many people who’d been invited to the 80th birthday party of the Huo family elder, Huo Xun. Most of the guests were relatives and friends, and some members of some well-connected aristocratic families in Peijing.
Outsiders of the family knew that today was the Huo family elder’s birthday, but only a few family insiders knew that the other and hidden purpose of today’s party was to help Huo Yunshen to find a match.
If Huo Yunshen had known that they were arranging a matchmaking party for him, he would’ve rather killed himself than come back.
Xu Xiyan pushed Huo Yunshen in his wheelchair and entered the mansion grounds from the quieter east gate, strolling through the beautiful garden. The Huo family was indeed the wealthiest family in Peijing; the vastness of their mansion and the beauty of the place were second to none in Peijing.
“Wow, your family is really rich,” said Xu Xiyan, unable to contain her awe.
Huo Yunshen sighed softly without looking back at her. “What is the use of money? I’d rather have nothing and live a healthy life.”
Xu Xiyan: “…”
Xu Xiyan felt bad after listening to his lament. She could understand his feelings and his desire for good health very well.
She didn’t know what to say to comfort him and could only pray for him silently in her heart.
Huo Yunshen, one day, you shall receive what you hope for.
The two continued to stroll along and admire the scenery. As they made their way through an arched gate, they saw a little boy squatting on the grass in front of them. Huo Yunshen recognized the child.
“Chengcheng!” he called out to him, then turned to Xu Xiyan. “This is my eldest sister’s son, Lu Qiancheng. He just turned six this year.”
“Oh, I see,” said Xu Xiyan. So Huo Yunshen’s nephew is six, and he already looks quite handsome!
Lu Qiancheng looked up when he heard Huo Yunshen’s voice. After realizing that it was his uncle who had called him, he ran over to them happily.
“Uncle!”
“Hey Chengcheng, what’re you up to?” Huo Yunshen said as he patted the boy’s small head.
