Chapter 45: I'll personally send you back

  "Master is back, Master is back!" With a joyful face, Su Mei rushed into Xie Xiuyun's room like a happy little deer. Her small face, which had just lost its vegetable color, showed two red blushes. Xie Xiuyun, who was reading a book, had already heard the commotion coming from the front yard and initially thought it was Hante again, this big-nosed foreigner always brought something Su Mei liked every time he came, making Su Mei scream with surprise each time. But this time Su Mei rushed upstairs, saying that Zhao Zhi was back, Xie Xiuyun couldn't help but stand up, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.

  "Xiūyún jiě, you'd better change your clothes quickly, the gentlemen are still gathering things in the front yard and will be coming to see you soon." Su Méi, who was clever and quick-witted, secretly glanced at Xiūyún, who was standing there in a daze. This gentleman and Xiūyún jiě were really strange, clearly Xiūyún jiě was very worried about the gentleman, but she never admitted it, at least not in front of herself. The gentleman was also like this, just now in the front yard, he kept asking about Xiūyún jiě's situation, but still chatted idly with that big-nosed person, and didn't even take the initiative to come see Xiūyún jiě.

  "Oh, is he okay?" Xie Xiuyun sat down again, using the opportunity to change the subject and calm her excited emotions. Thinking carefully, it had already been half a month since she last saw Zhao Zhi, and she didn't know how that annoying guy was doing either? Just looking at that person called Hant would tell you that this time Zhao Zhi went to do something that absolutely wouldn't be simple, Xie Xiuyun had already seen guns on Hant's bodyguards several times.

  Xie Xiuyun's emotions were truly complex at this moment, on the one hand thinking of Zhao Zhi who was about to arrive, but on the other hand not wanting to see him because she had already made up her mind that as soon as he returned, she would resign and leave. After all, she was a person with an organization and unfinished tasks. Su Mei didn't know what Xie Xiuyun was thinking, she just saw Xie Xiuyun's face turning white and red in turns, staring blankly, "Sister Xiuyun, are you sick? Do you want to find a doctor?"

  Xie Xiuyun, who had sunk into contemplation, was startled awake by Su Mei's question. She smiled and said, "I'm fine, why do I need to see a doctor? Bring me that yellow cheongsam of mine, I'll wear it today." In Xie Xiuyun's room, there was a large wardrobe filled with all sorts of clothes specially made for her by the tailor invited by Zhao Zhi. Among them was a yellow cheongsam that Xie Xiuyun loved the most. Su Mei crisply replied and opened the wardrobe to take out the cheongsam, laying it on Xie Xiuyun's bed. She then opened the jewelry box to pick out suitable accessories for Xie Xiuyun.

  Admiring the beauty in the mirror, Xie Xiuyun gained some confidence. This cheongsam really suited her well, especially with this goose-yellow color, which set off her delicate beauty. With a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, Su Mei was stunned. "Sister Xiuyun, you're too beautiful, sir will be dazzled," Su Mei said, teasing Xie Xiuyun who was already blushing, as she combed her hair.

  Zhao Zhi, who was still in the front yard, also became somewhat impatient. Meng San and the others, after hearing that Zhao Zhi's home had many empty rooms, made a fuss about not wanting to stay at a hotel, saying that living together would be more convenient and cost-effective. They insisted on following Zhao Zhi back home to live with him. With Han Te also chiming in and causing trouble, Zhao Zhi reluctantly agreed to Meng San's request and brought the group of people and their luggage back home. Su Mei only showed her face briefly before running off without a trace, leaving Zhao Zhi to personally arrange rooms for Meng San and the others. In reality, his wife had already run off to Xie Xiuyun's place.

  I don't know if her injury has healed or not. Su Mei just said she's fine, but to what extent is she fine, has she fully recovered or just gotten a little better? Zhao Zhi couldn't help but start feeling annoyed, thinking that he must find an opportunity to properly deal with this mischievous little girl Su Mei. Han Te, who had been observing Zhao Zhi's impatience, cleverly took over the authority to arrange things and directly sent Zhao Zhi to the backyard to see Xie Xiuyun.

  He took the towel from the servant and roughly wiped his face, then rushed to Xie Xiuyun's room in the backyard. As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard Su Mei and Xie Xiuyun talking in the room upstairs. He lit a cigar and leaned against the stairs, secretly listening to the private conversation between the two women. Sure enough, they were talking about him.

  Su Mei is at ease, but it's unknown how Xie Xiuyun views herself. Zhao Zhi tiptoed up to the 2nd floor, walking stealthily like a thief, and crouched outside Xie Xiuyun's door to listen more carefully. Now Su Mei and Xie Xiuyun's topic has shifted to what profession Zhao Zhi is in. Su Mei is just a teenager who can't match Xie Xiuyun in terms of knowledge or experience, but she strongly supports Zhao Zhi, saying her husband will absolutely not go back to doing anything that harms others.

  Xie Xiuyun didn't speak for half a day, but things were getting worse. Zhao Zhi, who was squatting outside the door, knew that Xie Xiuyun wasn't suspecting him of being a bad person, but rather questioning his identity. However, his relationship with Hante couldn't be casually mentioned, not only would it get himself into trouble, but also implicate Hante. If Hante got into trouble, then his own backing in Shanghai would be gone, and what would happen to this whole family?

  Like Xie Xiuyun, Zhao Zhi was willing to try being a staunch anti-Japanese element, but the luxurious life he had in his previous life had already predetermined that he could not adapt to the simplicity of the Communist Party. Moreover, this life's Zhao Zhi had long made up his mind to become a rich man, relying on his own abilities, and he did not believe that he could not make a fortune for himself. Zhao Zhi was an unmanageable guy, if many rules and restrictions were added to him, it would only weaken his abilities and make him annoyed. At this time, Zhao Zhi suddenly realized that the biggest problem between him and Xie Xiuyun was their identities.

  As he listened to Xie Xiuyun and Su Mei talking about leaving soon, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his chest. He stood up, pushed open the door to Xie Xiuyun's room with one hand, and looked at her calmly as she beamed with joy on her face. "I'll let you go, once your injuries are healed, I'll personally escort you to find your people. Are you reassured now?"

  Looking at Zhao Zhi standing in front of her, Xie Xiuyun was stunned. When did this rascal come upstairs? Did he hear everything she and Su Mei said earlier? But that wasn't what she meant. This stubborn guy... Xie Xiuyun unconsciously rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and the good handkerchief had already been rubbed into a rag by her. Su Mei, who was still standing on the side, saw the expressions of the two and immediately chose to slip away. After leaving the room, she also responsibly closed the door behind her. As for what would happen between Mr. Zhao and Sister Xiuyun, it wasn't something she could control.
