Chapter 113 â This Must Be What Itâs Like To Have A Little Sister (1)
Zhong Yuhuan had just hung up Lang Jinzhi âs call when Chen Mingyeâs call came in.
âMy buddy is going to pick you up. We will meet at the airport and go directly from Sydney,â said Chen Mingye on the other end.
Zhong Yuhuan knew that the purpose of that was to avoid being detected by Xu Yunhui and her daughter.
âOkay,â replied Zhong Yuhuan.
She immediately went to take some time off and packed her bags. She didnât need to bring a lot with her, just one suitcaseâs worth. But even so, she couldnât help but miss the days with Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming around. At least, she wouldnât have to pack her own suitcase when they were around.
Zhong Yuhuan shook her head to get rid of this unrelated thought.
She headed downstairs and got inside the car after she finished packing.
Chen Mingyeâs buddy drove her to the airport and even helped her with checking into a hotel nearby.
âIâm afraid I need to take off now,â said the man, seemingly a bit embarrassed by that.
âNo, thatâs alright. That is fine. Thank you,â said Zhong Yuhuan as she nodded at him.
It was probably Chen Mingyeâs credit card that was run through during the check-in, and some server brought over afternoon tea shortly.
Zhong Yuhuan browsed the news and WeChat from the VIP suite.
Whatever that had happened at the Zhongâs was not yet in the news.
Which made sense, Xu Yunhui probably wouldnât be the one babbling about it.
Thatâs why Yang Sen was still happily rambling on WeChat. He even asked Zhong Yuhuan, âMan Sen is having a concert soon. Do you want to go? Iâll pay for your plane ticket and hotel fee. I guarantee it will be VIP service!â
Zhong Yuhuan smiled after she had read it and turned her cellphone off.
With the exception of those on Lang Jinzhiâs side, she couldnât let anyone know that she was on her way home.
Zhong Yuhuan didnât let the hours of wait time go to waste. She read the PPT from school, a couple of academic published articles, followed by watching the recent financial news.
After she had done all that and snacked a little, Chen Mingye had already arrived.
Zhong Yuhuan didnât bring her luggage with her, but first went downstairs to greet him.
âHave you had dinner yet?â asked Chen Mingye.
Zhong Yuhuan shook her head.
âAlright, letâs have dinner first before we board. I booked a redeye flight. We will go to sleep once weâve boarded and will be landing when we wake up.â Having said that, Chen Mingye paused and checked on Zhong Yuhuan carefully, âAre you not anxious?â
Zhong Yuhuan smiled and shook her head, âNo, I am not anxious. Letâs find something to eat.â
Chen Mingye let out a sigh of relief. âThatâs good. Iâve heard that Mr. Zhong hasnât been very nice to you in the past, but I was still worried that you would be sad after hearing the news.â
Having heard that, Zhong Yuhuan couldnât help but notice the irony.
She wondered if Zhong Chi would regret it. He had always wanted to be the one in control. Would he still feel accomplished now?
Chen Mingye took Zhong Yuhuan to dinner. After making sure that Zhong Yuhuan was full, he went with her to pick up her luggage and headed to the airport.
âThank you, Mr. Chen.â
âNo problem. Your cousin worried that something might happen to you. I needed to make a trip back anyway, so we might as well travel together. That way, we wonât leave anything to chances.â Chen Mingye smiled casually. He didnât think this was a big deal.
Chen Mingye said he would be with her âall the wayâ, and that was exactly what he did.
When the plane had landed in City Hai, he took Zhong Yuhuan all the way to the Langâs before he took off.
That way, from the outside perspective, theyâd think Chen Mingye took a trip back home and went over to visit Li Jinyuan for old timeâs sake. The two of them had always been close and that was known to everyone. Nobody would think this has anything to do with Zhong Yuhuan.
