Chapter 674 - 661
"This..."
Yu Sangwan was still very cautious, knowing the gravity of the matter, she looked around.
Tang Yueze reassured her, "Young Madam, rest assured, my people are guarding it, it’s very safe."
"Okay." Yu Sangwan nodded, "I’ve been to the inner courtyard, that’s where you said... Jinxuan’s courtyard from back then. But, Helian Si said he grew up there since childhood and never left. I have an absurd thought that Helian Si and..."
She paused there.
Tang Yueze knowingly smirked and finished her sentence for her.
"Do you feel like Helian Si is the Eldest Young Master?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was shocked and stared at Tang Yueze, "Why do you say that?"
"Young Madam." Tang Yueze nodded slightly, lowering his voice, "Actually, I had this feeling before, but... that was just my own thought, I let you into the inner courtyard to see if it’s my imagination!"
Yu Sangwan frowned, "But, just based on this, it’s not enough to prove that Helian Si is Jinxuan! Jinxuan was buried back then... If it’s true, isn’t it too absurd?"
"Hmph!"
Tang Yueze pulled a corner of his mouth into a smile devoid of warmth.
"Young Madam, you’re too naive. In such a prestigious family as the Helian Family, even their own members might not truly know what goes on inside!"
Yu Sangwan shivered slightly; she still couldn’t imagine it.
Tang Yueze continued, "Young Madam, the reason I’m saying this is because... back then, the Eldest Young Master was indeed the heir chosen by Helian Wei for the presidency!"
"Ah!" Yu Sangwan exclaimed, covering her mouth but still letting out a cry. Her eyes widened, "How could this be?"
"Young Madam." Tang Yueze explained carefully, "How many years have I followed the Eldest Young Master? I grew up with him! No one knows his affairs better than I do! You could say, what Lu Yusen doesn’t know, I know!"
Yu Sangwan nodded in a daze, she believed this.
Tang Yueze said, "Do you remember? When the Eldest Young Master met you in Donghua, he was always acting low-key and mysterious."
"Yes." Yu Sangwan nodded heavily, "I remember, of course, I remember."
"Actually... it was all in preparation for the future succession. As the Lu Family’s eldest son, he was meant to inherit the presidential position, how could he show up everywhere?"
Yu Sangwan’s mouth was dry; this news shocked her greatly. She anxiously lifted the water cup on the table, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one go, still unable to calm her mind. "But, Jinxuan mentioned that his uncle is really similar to him..."
"...Yes." Tang Yueze nodded, "That’s also what puzzled me. Helian Si is even more mysterious than the Eldest Young Master... so I’m not one hundred percent sure."
Yu Sangwan felt a void in her heart, "Still not certain, huh?"
"Young Madam." Tang Yueze looked steadfastly at her, "Don’t give up... Whether our speculation is true or not, only you can uncover the truth now! Helian Shuang doesn’t even care about her daughter anymore, there’s definitely something wrong here."
Yu Sangwan thought of Helian Si’s gaze, his kiss... she was actually still hesitant.
"But, if he’s not..."
Tang Yueze didn’t know Helian Si liked Yu Sangwan, speaking frankly, "If not, we’ll work from Helian Shuang’s side. No matter what, we can’t let the matters of those years go. Young Madam, what do you think?"
"Of course."
Yu Sangwan blurted out, she was Jinxuan’s wife; what couldn’t she do for Jinxuan?
"But, if Helian Si is Jinxuan, why doesn’t he acknowledge me?"
"This." Tang Yueze hesitated, "Young Madam, this is also something I can’t be sure of, it’s very complicated... We’ll talk about it later."
Yu Sangwan was stunned, why would it be this way? It felt like a tangled mess...
...
After parting with Tang Yueze, Yu Sangwan’s mind was filled with thoughts of how to confirm whether Helian Si was Lu Jinxuan or not.
Lu Jinxuan actually had a very distinct feature... the walnut whistle she gave him back then! Ah! And... Yu Sangwan remembered the ZERO tattoo on her chest, which was inked on by Jinxuan himself back then!
Jinxuan’s shoulder had an identical original version.
But these... could only be seen in a very intimate state!
Intimate... Yu Sangwan frowned. If he is, she can’t imagine what she would do. But, if he isn’t, provoking Helian Si would end very badly.
But the decision was made, there’s no retreat!
Early the next morning, Yu Sangwan arrived at Guan Chao.
The weather was hot, and colleagues were discussing ways to cool off.
When Helian Si arrived, Yu Sangwan served the chilled mung bean soup she brought from home. It was served in a bone china bowl and placed in front of him.
"President, please try this... to cool off." After a thought, she added, "I made it myself."
"Hmm." Helian Si raised his eyes to look at her.
In the sweltering season, she appeared a bit more emaciated, making her look even more lively.
Seeing him not speaking, Yu Sangwan awkwardly tried to make small talk, "Oh, it’s about to be a three-day public holiday... Does the President have anywhere to go? In such hot weather, shouldn’t you find somewhere to cool off?"
Helian Si raised his eyes to look at her, this girl... why is she talking so much today? Recently, she hadn’t been willing to talk to him unless it was work-related, right?
He squinted his eyes, more certain of what he thought, this girl wasn’t entirely indifferent towards him. Liking? Perhaps a little bit?
With a smile on her face, Yu Sangwan continued to chatter, "When I came in the morning, they were all discussing it outside! I just casually asked... The place where you cool off must be extravagant, like a villa or a retreat."
Helian Si remained silent, and Yu Sangwan felt too embarrassed to prattle all alone.
She touched her neck, "Well, I’ll go out and work."
Watching her leave, Helian Si began to ponder. The little girl chirped so much, what was she trying to convey?
Actually, two days ago, Ou Guanshen submitted a case, about organizing a retreat for senior officials to combine a meeting with a cooling-off event, but... he hadn’t approved it yet.
Did the little girl want to go on a cooling-off trip? Then let her have it. Besides, he hadn’t clarified last time’s events! Her acting coquettishly in front of him, was that indirectly proving something?
Thinking like this, Helian Si couldn’t help but curl his lips, and pressed the intercom, "Guanshen, come in for a moment."
When the notice came down, Yu Sangwan was inevitably surprised.
She looked at Ou Guanshen, confirming once more, "Secretary-General Ou, am I going too?"
"Hey!" Ou Guanshen chuckled, "You’re the President’s spokesperson, do you think you shouldn’t go?"
"But..." Yu Sangwan softly argued, "Isn’t this unofficial? I thought it wasn’t my place."
"Rest assured! You’re included, go prepare, you’ll be staying for a few days."
"Okay!" Yu Sangwan nodded with a smile, great... three days, she must find an opportunity!
