The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

In the Xu family's old house, the old housekeeper was arranging people to clean and decorate the courtyard.

Old Mr. Xu walked around the old house with a cane, looking around and occasionally offering suggestions to the workers for improvement.

"Butler, the thank-you banquet will be held in a few days. Have you notified everyone who should be invited?"

"Don't worry, sir, I've notified you all."

"That's good. What about Zehao? How is he doing lately?"

"Young Master... He has indeed been very busy recently. He is either at the company or at home every day." The old butler hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

"That's good. It's the end of the year soon, so it's normal for him to be busy. You go to the Qin family in the name of Zehao and buy some expensive gifts. Don't let them think we are neglecting them. The Qin family's connections are very important." Old Master Xu half-closed his eyes and lazily lay on an expensive rattan chair. Although he looked much kinder due to his old age, he still revealed the shrewdness and cunning of a businessman.

The old butler had followed Master Xu for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, Master. I will make the arrangements."

"The troublemakers in the company haven't stopped lately, which is enough to keep Zehao busy. We will do what we can for him so that he can spend more time on the company's business."

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

The old butler was efficient and had strong execution ability. The next day, he personally visited Qin Shichao with some things.

"Master Qin, I am here to visit you two on behalf of the young master. The New Year is coming soon and the company is very busy. The young master really can't spare the time, so he can only ask me to come and greet you two. I hope you will forgive me and be more tolerant." In order to express his apology and respect, the old butler bowed and greeted Qin Shichao as soon as he got out of the car.

Qin Shichao smiled and waved his hand generously, then walked forward to shake hands with him, "Hey, Uncle Liu, it's a good thing for young people to be busy with work. You're so thoughtful. Come in and sit down."

The old butler turned around and signaled the people behind him to move the things prepared in the trunk into the house. The things were placed in the Qin family's living room, as high as a small mountain. They were all valuable tonics and precious jewelry.

"This is a gift that the young master specially prepared for you two elders. I hope you two will like it."

Qin Shichao and his wife politely declined, "Why is Zehao so polite? It's good that he is thoughtful and spends so much money. We are very happy that he can think of us two old people."

The old housekeeper knew that although Qin Shichao was declining, he must be happy in his heart, "Master Qin, Madam Qin, the young master has always been respectful to you two elders. I still hope that you two elders can accept this small gift. This is the young master's heart."

After a few simple greetings, the old butler left the Qin family.

Qin Shichao looked at the pile of gifts and said to Madam Qin, "Zehao is a very thoughtful boy."

Madam Qin walked over and casually picked up a gift box and opened it. Inside was a pure gold bracelet. "It looks like he spent quite a bit of money on it. I'm afraid he has other intentions than this."

"Yeah, you said he was trying to refuse last time, saying that his relationship with Yinong had faded, but today he went to such great lengths to send a gift. It seems that the Xu family is trying to make friends with our family."

"It's OK that the man has feelings for the woman, and I like Zehao as well. I'm just afraid that our precious daughter doesn't like him." Mrs. Qin felt a little worried when she remembered the indifferent and rejecting look on Qin Yinong's face when she introduced her to a date.

"Hmph, I don't know what this child is thinking every day. She doesn't want this or that. Being emotionless can be cultivated. Besides, in the whole Tianshui City, apart from the Xu family, who else can be worthy of our Qin family? Now that others have taken the initiative to make friends with her, if she doesn't seize the opportunity, then there will be no more opportunities." Qin Shichao was furious when he talked about his rebellious daughter.

"Okay, look at your bad temper. You promised to respect your daughter's ideas when she came back. But she has only been back for a few months and you can't control your temper again. You really made her so angry that she went abroad and didn't want to come back. Let's see what you will do." Mrs. Qin advised Qin Shichao kindly. In front of her husband and daughter, she was more worried about Qin Yinong. She was too independent and opinionated. She would really give up everything for freedom.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. We'll see when the time comes." Qin Shichao sighed helplessly. Apart from talking tough, he really had no other way to deal with his precious daughter.

Qin Yinong was busy in the studio when she sneezed a few times for no apparent reason. She muttered softly, "Is someone scolding me?" Because someone had told her before that when she sneezed for no apparent reason, it meant someone was scolding her.

She knew it was a joke from the other party and had no scientific basis, but she just thought it was funny and remembered it. Thinking of this, she took out her phone and sent a message to the other party: I miss you.

The other party replied immediately: I miss you too. Then, there was a soft and sweet expression pack attached. Qin Yinong smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. Her cold and distant face showed a rare happy and sweet look. If she was seen like this by Qin Shichao and his wife, they would definitely ask about her.

Qin Yinong looked at the emoticon, her eyes filled with love and tenderness that could not be concealed. The softness in her heart was gently touched by the other party, as if she was wrapped in a warm current.

Her fingertips quickly tapped on the phone keyboard, and she replied: I'm busy, let's chat later. The other party replied again in seconds, this time with a cute emoticon package, and then replied OK. Seeing this, she put down the phone with satisfaction and threw herself into work again. Her heroic face was expressionless and looked a little cold, as if the scene just now had not happened.

The lights are coming on, it’s rush hour after get off work, and the streets are bustling with people.

In a large commercial building, Xia Xue was shopping in the mall holding Xu Zehao's hand, and the two people working behind them were already carrying many large and small shopping bags in their hands.

"Zehao, how come you are free to ask me out for dinner and shopping tonight?"

"I heard you got a new role, let me celebrate for you."

Xia Xue was secretly delighted, it turned out that he had been paying attention to her movements. She hadn't seen Xu Zehao since he sent her home that night. His attitude was also cold and indifferent when she sent him messages. She originally thought that he had no interest in her, but unexpectedly, he asked her out for dinner and shopping tonight, and even bought her a lot of luxury goods. It was his attitude that made her dare to take his arm tonight, and he didn't refuse. The two of them were as intimate as a lover.

"Is the company busy recently?" Xia Xue actually secretly sent someone to check Xu Zehao, but she couldn't find out his background. She only knew that he opened a company and his family had some money, but she didn't know what kind of company it was or what it did. This was why she wanted to hook up with him. A rich second-generation who was rich, handsome, young and mysterious was always popular.

"Fortunately, it's the end of the year."

She felt that Xu Zehao didn't seem to like chatting with her. Every time she asked him something, he was vague or just brushed it off with a few simple words and was never willing to elaborate.

"You're such a big star, and you accompany me to eat and go shopping. Aren't you afraid of being photographed and made a big fuss?" As he said this, Xu Zehao deliberately raised his head and looked around, as if he was afraid that there really were paparazzi hiding in the dark and taking pictures.

"What am I afraid of? I behave properly and do things in an upright manner. So what if I have a love relationship?"

"Fall in love?" Xu Zehao frowned in dissatisfaction, obviously disliking the word "love".

Xu Zehao suddenly stopped, stood there handsomely, looked at her straightly, his eyes instantly turned cold, and said word by word: "I, I don't think I have ever said, you, are my girlfriend?"
