The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

Time passed by little by little, the night gradually faded away and the sun slowly rose, and the night turned into day.

In the old Xu's house, Xu Zehao sat in the hall with a firm look in his eyes and his back straight and posture upright.

Mr. Xu slowly came out of the study room with a cane. He stopped at the handrail on the second floor and looked at Xu Zehao who was sitting downstairs with a kind face.

The child's handsome appearance made him happier the more he looked at him, and he smiled kindly. After a moment, he didn't know what he thought of, and Mr. Xu's smiling face turned into a complex expression. After taking a deep breath, his expression returned to normal and he slowly walked down the stairs.

"Zehao, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

After hearing the voice, Xu Zehao turned his head to look at Mr. Xu, but did not stand up to greet him. He moved his eyebrows slightly and said lightly: "I've been a little busy with company affairs recently, so I don't have time to come."

Master Xu walked to the opposite side of Xu Zehao. His hair had turned gray as he got older. Although he was strong, his movements were a little slow. He sat down slowly and said slowly, "Well, I know it's the end of the year, and you are indeed quite busy."

"Thank you for your understanding. Is there something you want to talk to me about?" He glanced at the watch on his hand casually while speaking, and his tone was as polite as if he was talking to a stranger he was not very familiar with.

Master Xu looked at Xu Zehao with resentful eyes, and asked hesitantly, "Zehao, have you always hated me? It's been more than ten years, and you... have never called me grandpa."

Xu Zehao's eyes were cold as he stared at Master Xu. His hands under the table unconsciously clenched into fists. "No, you're overthinking it."

"You have been keeping yourself hidden all these years, and I know that you have always been the one who…"

"Okay, do you have something to talk to me about? If not, I'll leave first." He interrupted Mr. Xu. Although he was obviously impatient, his tone was still calm and no displeasure could be heard.

"Okay, okay, okay, if you don't want to mention the past, then I won't say it." No one expected that Mr. Xu, who was highly respected and awe-inspiring outside, would be so humble and weak in front of his grandson.

"I'll be very happy if you come back more often to eat with me, take a walk with me, and play chess with me."

"Are you sure you don't have anything to talk to me about?" He looked directly at Mr. Xu, his eyes as sharp as torches that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and make them unable to hide anything.

"There is something I want to tell you. You have been back for so long and you have never visited your Uncle Qin. Can you go to the Qin family on my behalf when you are free?"

"Okay." The answer was unexpectedly quick and decisive. Mr. Xu looked at Xu Zehao in confusion.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I've asked your uncle Li to prepare the gifts for you, just take them with you when the time comes."

"It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. I can go there today." After saying that, he stood up, tidied his clothes, and walked out the door.

"Today?" Mr. Xu was confused all of a sudden. Didn't he always dislike me for arranging these things for him? Why was he so abnormal today?

After a while, Xu Zehao drove to the Qin family with a trunk full of gifts.

"Hey, let me see who this is? Isn't this the bad boy from the old Xu family? He has become more handsome and more manly in these few years. " As soon as Qin Shichao saw Xu Zehao, he went forward and hugged him enthusiastically, and patted his broad back with his palm.

"Uncle Qin, please stop teasing me. I am far inferior to you. You are still strong and charming as ever." A rare gentle look appeared on Xu Zehao's face.

Mrs. Qin followed behind Qin Shichao, slowly walked up to him and gave him a gentle hug, saying softly: "I haven't seen you for many years, I almost didn't recognize you, you are getting more and more energetic." As she spoke, she invited him to come into the house and sit down.

After entering the house, Mrs. Qin went into the kitchen to prepare dinner with the servants, while Qin Shichao and Xu Zehao sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

Mrs. Qin was very pleased to see the uncle and nephew chatting so happily. When Xu Zehao was a child, he often came to the Qin family to play with his parents. Later, after his parents got into trouble, he seldom came. She hadn't seen him since he went abroad many years ago.

"Zehao, you disappeared for the past few years and didn't contact me. I was worried that something happened to you. Such a good person suddenly disappeared without a trace." Qin Shichao looked sad when he talked about the past.

"Uncle Qin, I'm sorry for making you worry." Xu Zehao apologized with guilt. When the incident happened, he left suddenly without saying goodbye, which really made those who cared about him worried.

"By the way, you and Yinong haven't seen each other for many years, right? It's a pity that you came at the wrong time today because she is out. Otherwise, you could have a good reunion. When she was a child, she loved to follow you, her foster brother." When they met again this time, Qin Shichao was very satisfied with Xu Zehao and wanted to bring them together.

"Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we feel a little strange." Xu Zehao's few short words were intended to explain that both of them have grown up and their feelings are different from before.

"It's okay. There's a long way to go. You can talk more then." Qin Shichao didn't care about Xu Zehao's words. His meaning was very clear.

"it is good."

As the night deepened, after dinner Xu Zehao drove away from the Qin family and came to MG alone.

Xu Zehao likes quietness. Apart from necessary social engagements, he often comes to drink alone, without asking for company or bringing other people. He just sits there quietly for a long time with a glass of wine.

He silently played with the empty wine glass in his hand. Since leaving Qin's house, he kept recalling some things from the past.

Those dusty memories came back today. Those experiences and entanglements about parents, the Qin family, Zhou Yian, and myself were interwoven into a complex picture in my mind.

That cold yet charming face that night, the way she frowned and loved him under him made him extremely obsessed, and it has been lingering in his mind since she left.

He pulled his tie irritably, trying to vent his emotions.

Finally he got up and walked to the bell, pressed the button, and after a ring, he was connected to customer service.

"Take over the public relations department." The tone was indifferent and cold.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

Soon the door of the box opened, and a tall young woman in a black professional dress came into the box.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, how can I help you?"

Xu Zehao did not answer immediately. He examined the woman in front of him with deep eyes, then lowered his head and stared at the wine glass in his hand, and was reluctant to speak.

"Mr. Xu..." Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, she called him softly.
