Mother and daughter?

Hearing the attendant's words, Ye Yanxi and Madam He looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm sorry, but we are not mother and daughter!" Ye Yanxi smiled as she explained.

"Is that so?" The waitress was still in disbelief, she looked at the two of them and asked, "It really isn't mother and daughter? But you look so much like each other, I thought so. "

However, Madam He felt very pleased when she heard this.

Seeing Madam He's dressing, the attendant was very perceptive. He hurriedly led the two of them to the VIP room.

After handing over the menu, Madam He indicated for her to order first. Thus, Ye Yan Xi randomly ordered a meat dish and a vegetable dish. As she handed the menu back to her, she said, "Aunt He, you can order a few less dishes this time. We can't finish all of them with just the two of us."

The main thing was, she was afraid that the last scene would repeat itself. The last time, Madam He had ordered a big table of dishes, but when she left, there were some that hadn't been touched at all.

Madam He glanced at the menu before ordering two servings of food. When Ye Yanxi reminded her that it was enough, Madam He insisted on ordering two more dishes.

Luckily, she didn't order more than ten dishes this time. Ye Yanxi let out a sigh of relief.

After another waiter came to serve tea, Madam He looked at Ye Yanxi carefully as if to make sure she was not injured, "Lil 'Ye, let me see. Stand up, let me see if your wounds are really healed."

Ye Yan Xi stood up as instructed. In order to let her see clearly, she spun around on the spot, swinging her arms and moving her legs from time to time: "Look, I told you that everything was fine. There are no side effects."

Her body's condition was good to begin with. With the addition of her long term training, her injuries healed very quickly. If it were on an ordinary person's body, it would probably take at least ten days to half a month. Ye Ci had also suffered some injuries during Taekwondo class. However, her injuries were healed within a few days. She had probably gained immunity to them in the long run.

Madam He was now very satisfied.

"It looks really good." Saying this, Madam He recalled the way she looked at Ye Yan Xi in the hotel: "You scared me that night, and there was so much blood on your arm. Oh right, I didn't have the time to ask, what happened to you that night? "How did you get hurt?"

She didn't want to tell Madam He that she was afraid and had to lie. "I missed my foot when I was going downstairs and fell down the stairs," she lied.

The truth was that during her battle with the bodyguard, she had tried to dodge the attack, while at the same time, the stairs were too narrow for her to open.

"Little Miss Muddle, why were you so careless?" Madam He looked at her dotingly, then raised her hand to touch her face. "Thankfully, I didn't bump into her face at that time. Otherwise, I would have been ugly after I broke my face."

It had been a long time since someone had cared for her like this. Furthermore, she had only met Madam He a few times, but she could feel that Madam He was sincere towards her, so she was very touched.

"Thank you for your concern, Aunt He. I'll try my best not to get confused in the future."

Madam He looked at Ye Yan Xi with satisfaction. She realized that the more she looked at Ye Yan Xi, the more she liked her. Why did she feel so close to her?

From the first time he met her, he felt that she was familiar with her.

After entering the hotel today, when the waiter said they looked alike, only then did Madam He realize. So that's how it was.

Although She Man was her biological daughter, she didn't look like her at all. This was probably fate.

Madam He was, after all, a woman from the shopping mall, and her way of looking at people was also very vicious. She knew that Ye Yanxi wasn't like the other girls, who only loved to curry favor with her.

The girl was very polite and sincere.

While drinking the water, Ye Yan Xi suddenly thought of something and took out an envelope from her bag. She handed it to Madam He. "Aunt He."

"This is?"

Madam He took the envelope and opened it at the same time. Upon seeing that there was a stack of red bills inside, she immediately understood and pushed it back without changing her expression.

"Do you think your aunt invited you out to dinner for this money?"

She panicked, "Aunt He, don't misunderstand. This is the medical expenses that you paid for me that night, so it's only right that I pay you back."

"If you still call me Auntie, take the money back." Madam He stubbornly pushed the envelope to Ye Yanxi.

However, Ye Yan Xi was also determined to return the money, so she pushed it back.

"Aunt He, you must take this money, or else I won't be able to sleep and eat."

"It's not that serious. Besides, you saved my life before." With a straight face, Madam He pushed the money over again. "If you give it to me again, I'll be angry."

"Aunt He, even if you're angry, I still have to return the money to you. If you don't take it, I won't eat this food either." Ye Yan Xi also angrily pushed the envelope away.

In the end, it was still the same as before. Madam He was defeated, and seeing Ye Yan Xi's stubborn personality, she could only put the envelope away.

"Hey, child, I'll take you in."

Ye Yan Xi revealed a smile, "Sure."

"Then I'll pay for it today, you're not allowed to fight with me again."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

At this time, a waiter came up with a dish. The two of them chatted as they ate.

"Oh right, I still don't know where your parents are. Are they also in S City?" Madam He asked casually.

It was unknown what kind of parents could bring up such a daughter.

Ye Yan Xi smiled and replied, "I'm an orphan. I grew up with foster parents."

He was probably used to saying these words, so he did not feel sad about it. He also did not feel that his life was very miserable. He should be lucky to be able to grow up like this.

On the other hand, Madam He's expression changed slightly. She asked in surprise, "What? You're an orphan?"

"Yes." Ye Yan Xi's expression didn't change, "I've been in the orphanage since I was young. My parents never came to find me. The orphanage people all said that I abandoned my baby and was adopted by my adoptive parents."

"Such a good child like you, how could your parents be so ruthless as to abandon you? How about this, her father and I only have one child, Manman. How about I take you as my goddaughter? We're fated to be like this, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Madam He suddenly made this suggestion. Ye Yanxi was a little stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at the happy Madam He with a surprised expression, "Aunt He, this isn't good, right? "You have a high status, and I'm not some rich or powerful family. If it gets out, others will laugh at me."

"What kind of status does he have? What joke is this? " "It's my first time seeing you, and I like you very much. Moreover, you were born in the same year as Manman, so if this isn't fate, then you can just be my goddaughter, okay?"

Facing such a passionate Madam He, Ye Yan could only feel that there was no way to answer.

Although, from the bottom of her heart, she rather liked Mrs. He.

Noticing that Ye Yan Xi was silent, Madam He tried asking again, "Are you considering your adoptive parents? "How about this, we find a chance to call them out, and we can discuss this after a meal."

Hearing this suggestion, Ye Yan Xi hurriedly shook her head, "Aunt He, there's no need to go through all this trouble. How about I think about it, give me some time, and then I'll reply to you, okay?"

Madam He heaved a sigh of relief. She was clearly very satisfied with Ye Yan's reply. "Then let's say it's a deal. Two days should be enough. You must give me a call when the time comes. You can't go back on your promise."

"Got it."

After dinner, as they walked back, Ye Yanxi was still thinking about this matter. Suddenly, Madam He wanted to acknowledge her as her goddaughter, which caught her off guard.

In the evening, he went for a walk downstairs with HeChu Yan, carrying Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei. He also let the two little guys relax, otherwise they would be stuck in a cage everyday.

Once Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui reached the grass downstairs, they impatiently jumped out.

However, these two were also very smart, and would normally not be too far from Ye Yan Xi. While Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan were talking, they had already surrounded the two of them and were playing.

It was at this time of the setting sun that the orange colored sunset scattered a fragmented halo across the horizon, covering the entire grassland and warmly shining on people's bodies. It was exceptionally tranquil and beautiful, the shadows of the two of them were drawn long by the setting sun.

Hearing that Madam He wanted to acknowledge him as her real daughter, He Chuyan's eyes went wide with shock, "Madam He, the He Family consortium you were talking about, is that the mother of He Man? She wants to take you as her goddaughter? "

"Yeah." Ye Yan Xi was a bit depressed.

"This is a good thing, what are you doing with such a bitter face?"

"What good thing? I never thought of doing something like that. Besides, He Man has always been hostile towards me, even though I don't think we have much to do with each other."

"That's right, how did I forget about She Man, now …" "She's Chu Beize's fiancee, right? Oh, no, this He family can't get into a relationship with them. If you really become her goddaughter, then you and She Man will be sisters. Wouldn't that mean we have to call Chu Beize brother-in-law?"

Ye Yanxi really did not expect the thoughts of He Chuyan to jump so fast. She rolled her eyes at her, "It can't be."

"I'm just assuming it." She picked up Xiao Hui and held him up in the air, looking at the little guy with her black grape-like eyes, staring at him randomly in the air, "Then reject him."

On the other side, Xiao Hei was running happily. Seeing that her good friend had been lifted up by Hei Chuyan, she scratched his ankle with her two front paws. When she was really afraid that the little thing would damage her stockings, she put Xiao Hui on the grass, "These two little things are always getting tired of each other. They don't get tired of each other. Their relationship is so good."

Ye Yanxi smiled, looking at the two little things rolling on the grass, "Aunt He is too good to me, I don't have the heart to refuse."

"That means you still want to be sisters with your ex-boyfriend's mother-in-law!"

"…"

She stared at He Chuyan in horror. She did not mean to do that!

"Then it's fine, just refuse it."

Seeing the sky gradually turn dark and the sun completely slide down the horizon, Ye Yan and He Chu Yan also felt that it was about time to go back. The two little things were also lying on the ground looking dispirited, obviously hungry, so the two of them carried their cages and walked towards the corridor.

As they entered the floor, a man in black followed them at a moderate pace. His face was hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see him clearly. The three of them entered the elevator.

Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan were mumbling nonstop along the way. Because of He Chu Yan's actions towards Xiao Hui, the two little things seemed to reject her, and they looked at her with eyes full of contempt. Ye Yan Xi was laughing so hard that the two of them didn't notice anything strange about the person who followed them in.

When they reached the floor where She Chuyan lived, the man watched the two of them walk out of the elevator, walk to the door, and then press the button on the door.

The moment the elevator door closed, that person's pointed chin revealed a very shallow smile. He took out his phone and said into the phone, "I already know where they live."

At the entrance of the residential complex, a black car stopped by the side of the road. In the dim light of the car, one could see a man covered in bandages, looking like a mummy. This man was none other than Leo, who had been beaten up by dozens of men in black on the highway.

He held a thin cigarette in his hand and exhaled a long mouthful of smoke. He then said to the phone in a casual manner, "Wait a bit longer and find a way to get the person out of here. Don't let anyone else see."

Ye Yanxi.

It was only today that he learned that the woman who had saved Jin Yan in the hotel that day was Ye Yanxi.

If it wasn't for her, perhaps his plan would have proceeded smoothly, and he wouldn't have been beaten up and beaten up like this, and he wouldn't have had to hide and hide.

He must teach this woman a lesson, or else it would be hard for him to dispel the hatred in his heart.

In the living room, only one light was turned on. Ye Yan Xi and He Chu Yan were sitting on the sofa watching a popular Korean drama, which was being played at the moment. He Chu Yan was still sobbing, until he saw that the male and female lead in the drama had to be separated by life and death due to cancer.

Finally, the TV show was over. She wiped her face and stood up, then went to take a shower. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Yan Xi was ready to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Just as she stood up, she heard a knock on the door.

Ye Yanxi thought it was just a hallucination, but after pausing for a second, the knocking on the door became a little louder this time around. She was curious about who was looking for He Chuyan so late in the night, so she walked to the door and peeked through the peephole.

Ye Yan Xi also frequently came to He Chu Yan's apartment. After coming and going, she had gotten to know her neighbor, so she could be considered to recognize him.

Therefore, Ye Yan Xi quickly opened the door and asked, "May I ask, what's the matter?"

"Hello, I need your help. Just for a moment, can you get out of the elevator?" Her expression was a bit unnatural, her eyes avoided looking at Ye Yan Xi.

However, Ye Yanxi understood that this man might be a little embarrassed to trouble others, so she asked, "Where is he?"

"You'll know when you come out." That person said somewhat eagerly.

Although he didn't know why this person had such a weird expression, he still walked out, thinking that it would be better if he was busy for a while. Furthermore, if Chu Yan was taking a shower, she wouldn't be able to leave the door wide open.

Just as she closed the door, a few people suddenly jumped out from who knows where. They quickly surrounded Ye Yanxi, and then she felt a cold saber at her waist, "I advise you not to move."

A man appeared behind the neighbor as well. He wore a baseball cap that covered most of his face, and his coarse voice sounded a bit fierce, "This is none of your business, hurry up and leave."

The neighbor saw that Ye Yan Xi had been subdued and felt a bit guilty. "Then why did she …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was violently interrupted by the man. "If you want to die, then follow me."

It was clear that the man was not as angry as he was. The moment he heard this, he immediately became afraid and walked towards the door without looking back. The sound of the door being slammed shut reverberated loudly in the empty corridor.

"Who are you people?" Ye Yan Xi's face was cold. She looked around at the men who had rushed up, "Why are you capturing me?"

"You know very well in your heart who you've offended. Come with us!" Without a word, the man tied her hand with a rope. The other man's knife was still pressed against the small of his back, seeping through the thin layer of clothing. After tying it up, he half dragged her into the elevator.

In the elevator, Ye Yanxi took a quick glance and discovered that the camera had long been destroyed. No wonder these people were so confident in their kidnapping.

When Xiao Yu and the others came out of the hotel for dinner, it was already around ten in the evening. He muted his voice during the meal, and when he looked at his phone, he saw that there were several missed calls.

They were all the people he sent to investigate Leo a few days ago.

After getting on the car, Xu Bei asked, "CEO, where are you going today?"

Xiao Yu thought about how he had been busy all day and hadn't had time to go to the hospital, so he said, "Let's go to the hospital."

"Alright."

While Xu Bei was driving the car to the hospital, Xiao Yu called Jin Yan. When Jin Yan heard that Xiao Yu was coming to see her, she happily said that she was waiting for him at the hospital.

After hanging up, Xiao Yu gave a call to the person he had sent to investigate a few days ago.

"What is it?" Xiao Yu straightforwardly asked as soon as the call connected.

The other side immediately replied: "Director Xiao, I found it."

"What did you find?" Xiao Yu frowned and fidgeted with his tie, his sharp chin taut into a beautiful curve. "Explain it clearly."

"Didn't you ask me to check on the woman who saved Miss Jin at the hotel? "We've found it now."

It turned out that he had almost forgotten about this matter.

"Then do as I said and get the hotel to give you a reward. The money will go to the Xiao Group."

"But, that woman isn't a staff member of the hotel, nor is she …"

"Nor what?" Xiao Yu was a bit impatient.

"This person isn't a part-time employee of the hotel. After the hotel people called out the security screen, they found out that she changed into a waiter's clothes and entered the room. Furthermore, she is also a member of the Xiao Group's business department."

Xiao Group, Ministry of Commerce, staff.

Could it be...

Xiao Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He gripped his phone tightly and whispered, "What's her name?"

"Ye Yanxi." The other side of the phone paused for a moment before saying, "When we were investigating, we discovered that there were people secretly investigating Ye Yanxi too."
