"Brother-in-law?"
Ye Heng snapped out of her thoughts when he heard Su Ming Yuan's voice. He looked at the man beside him and saw the concerned look in Su Ming Yuan's eyes.
A helpless sigh escaped his lips. "I'm fine. I just had something in mind."
Su Ming Yuan looked in the direction where Tang Shi Yi and Quan Lian had disappeared earlier. "That woman just now... was she the friend you mentioned?"
"Mmm..." Ye Heng lowered lowered his gaze. "She's my classmate at university. It has been a while since we saw each other." A sigh escaped him. "In the past, I always wanted to bring her to work with Ye Group. Seeing her with a new company like A-Link worried me."
"I'm sure that he will be fine," Su Ming Yuan said. "A-Link isn't a bad company. I think they have the potential to grow bigger in a few years."
Su Ming Yuan observed his brother-in-law for a while. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. Su Ming Yuan wondered if he should talk to his wife later.
But then again, Su Ming Yuan felt that he should meddle in his brother-in-law's private matters.
...
Tang Shi Yi's emotions were rather complicated after running into Ye Heng once again.
She thought that Y City was big enough. But it seemed that as long as she was in Y City, she would always run into him.
However, now that she had become a partner of A-Link, it would be difficult for her to leave the city. Moreover... Xiao Xiao needed to stay in Y City for her treatment. It was not easy for her to find a suitable doctor for Xiao Xiao.
She can't leave Y City for now.
Even after Xiao Xiao's operation, the little girl will need to come to the hospital for her regular check-up. Until the doctor tells her that Xiao Xiao no longer has her heart problem, Tang Shi Yi could not be at ease.
Then... what was she supposed to do with Ye Heng?
It seemed that one of these days, she would have no choice but to face this man.
Perhaps she could still keep Chen Chen and Xiao Xiao a secret.
Ye Heng did not have to know about them.
"Shi Yi."
Tang Shi Yi looked up and saw that Quan Lian was looking at her. The look on his face told her that he had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask.
"Quan Lian, just say what you want to say."
The smile on Quan Lian's face widened. He let out a cough before he finally spoke, "Those young masters... How did you become acquainted with them?"
"Young masters?" Tang Shi Yi had a puzzled look on her face. She did notice that her harasser has been addressing those people who came with Ye Heng as Young Masters. However, other than Ye Heng, she did not recognize any of them.
Quan Lian looked embarrassed. He realized that it hadn't been a long time since Tang Shi Yi moved to Y City. Of course, Tang Shi Yi would not know anything about the men he mentioned.
"That's right. I remember that Young Master Ye Heng is your classmate from university," Quan Lian said. "The young masters that I was referring to were the two men who came with your friend. Hmm... that man in the suit and tie earlier is called Young Master Su Ming Yuan and the one who wore more casually is called Young Master Feng An Yu. They were both very influential in Y City."
Tang Shi Yi felt that she now understood the reason her harasser became very scared once they knew the identity of the young masters.
It turned out that they were very influential.
Seeing the look on Tang Shi Yi's face, Quan Lian decided to explain to her about the young masters from the influential family.
The group of young masters might come from an influential family. However, they were not without talent. That was what made others respect them a lot.
"Shi Yi, it was said that the project that the young masters were interested in will be successful." Quan Lian sighed. He rubbed the tip of his nose and continued, "Actually, I have been wanting to contact one of the young masters and pitch our project to them but my connection was not that strong. It would be good if we could get them to invest in our company."
Tang Shi Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Even though Quan Lian had not said it out loud, Tang Shi Yi was still able to figure out what her friend was trying to say.
She lowered her head to ponder upon this matter.
If she was merely Ye Heng's classmate and nothing else, perhaps she would not be that embarrassed to find him and ask for his help.
However, her situation made her want to keep a distance from that man.
When she came to Y City, Tang Shi Yi never thought to reconnect with Ye Heng. After all, she thought that Ye Heng was still managing the company business overseas.
"Shi Yi..." Quan Lian hesitated. He was embarrassed by the favor that he was about to ask from his friend. "Do you think that perhaps you could ask your friend to help us?"
Tang Shi Yi pursed her lips into a thin line. "Then, I will have to think about it first." She looked at Quan Lian and smiled when he saw that the man was looking at her anxiously. "You also know that it has been a few years since I spoke to Mr. Ye. It would be strange if I suddenly mention wanting to get to know those young masters."
"I understand." He wanted to get to know the young masters, but he did not want to make things difficult for his friend.
"Just give me some time to think it over," Tang Shi Yi spoke. "I did not want my friend to think that I was getting close to him for the sake of getting of making a connection."
