Chapter 721. I'm Still Me, What About You? (1)
On the second day of the New Year, the entire city remained in a joyous state of celebration. It was a brand new scene all around. The air was even filled with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, and everyone could not help but feel spirited by this.
Qi Lei had both his hands at the back of his head as he leisurely walked through the long corridor and was shocked to see overflowing plum blossoms in full bloom. He could not help but ask Yang Sheng in awe, “Since when was the backyard planted with plum blossoms? And can they survive? I thought City Z’s weather isn’t suitable for plum blossoms.”
“It was planted the year before the last, but it didn’t blossom during winter last year. A lot were planted and only a few survived. Initially, the butler wanted to take them all out and change them to peach blossoms, but the Missus said to wait until after the season. There were so many of them planted, and she hoped at least some would make it,” Yang Sheng said softly.
When Qi Lei heard the reply, he pondered for a moment, and then those profound eyes looked down at the plum blossoms. There were mixed emotions in his eyes. He did not say anything and just pulled his hands back to stuff into his pockets.
“Right, Master Qi, there’s news from Chairman Mu’s end.” Yang Sheng recalled the news he received from Li Si.
“Oh? What is it?” Qi Lei very quickly gathered his thoughts and looked at Yang Sheng.
“Director Xi gave birth at dawn yesterday at Hospital T,” Yang Sheng reported softly.
When he heard the update, Qi Lei instantly frowned. He thought about it and was puzzled. “That shouldn’t be. I remember the last time someone said that she was due in another two more months. Why did it happen so soon?”
“Master Qi, that’s because something happened to Director Xi on New Year’s Eve. I heard she was pushed down by Xi Xinyi, and then she had to deliver prematurely. If Chairman Mu hadn’t rushed over in time, who knows what would’ve happened?” Yang Sheng only knew the rough situation and was not quite sure about what actually happened.
