Chapter 449: Chapter 447 Mrs. Zhong’s Worry, Only Acknowledges Xiao Xi Eventually, she could no longer hold on. Her head tilted, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep beside her phone.
After watching for a while, Xue Yang grew tired too. He positioned his phone properly but didn’t hang up the video call. Instead, he faced the person on the screen and gently closed his eyes, as if she were still by his side.
「The next morning at 8 o’clock.」
Xue Yang chuckled helplessly, "Still such a restless sleeper." He cast another lingering glance at her beautiful silhouette before ending the call.
Zhong Hailan already had breakfast ready—a familiar spread of boiled eggs, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. To his surprise, there was also congee with preserved egg and lean meat, a rare treat.
Xue Yang nodded and sat down to eat.
With Lin Xi gone, it felt as though something was missing from the home. They had lived like this for the past twenty years, but after Lin Xi had been with them for less than a month, everything felt completely different.
"I have. I’ll call Uncle Lin again at noon."
Ever since returning from the beach, Zhong Hailan had been worried that she’d made a bad impression on Lin Zhenhai, and that he wouldn’t let Lin Xi marry into their family. If that really happens, I’ll be devastated. I’m so fond of that girl, Xiao Xi. If the two of them don’t end up together, I doubt I’ll like anyone else Xue Yang brings home. No, I definitely won’t. I will only accept Xiao Xi as my daughter-in-law.
"What’s the use of me trusting you? He’s the one who needs to trust you," Zhong Hailan stated soberly.
Xue Yuanqing snorted. "Alright, our son told you not to worry. If you keep worrying, you’ll just be making things harder for him."
Xue Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had been worried that Mrs. Zhong and Xiao Xi wouldn’t get along. Now, it was clear that not only did they get along, but his mother seemed to have decided that Xiao Xi was the only one she would ever accept.
With their son gone, the old couple no longer had to hold back.
If they extended the invitation and they didn’t show up, it would be an indirect sign that her father refused to let his daughter marry into their family. It was precisely for this reason that the housewarming held a completely different significance.
"..." Zhong Hailan was speechless with frustration. Her husband could be so dense.
It was almost 10 a.m. when Xue Yang arrived at the company. The employees were all present, and the data was prepared. They were just waiting for him to arrive so they could begin the presentation.
Truth be told, Xue Yang was quite nervous himself. This was the first business he had ever started on his own. If it loses money... I really don’t know if I should continue.
Wu Xiaoya stood in the middle of the conference room, holding the sales report, and began to read the numbers aloud.
Upon hearing this figure, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. To have sold over a hundred new energy vehicles in such a short time... who could still say there was no market for new energy? Who would still believe that the new energy sector couldn’t succeed in Dragon Country?
Xue Yang stood up and walked to the center of the conference room. Seeing this, Wu Xiaoya quickly yielded her spot to him and returned to her seat, waiting for him to speak.
As soon as Xue Yang finished speaking, applause once again erupted in the conference room. Everyone was genuinely happy. After all, they only made money when the boss made money.
