Chapter 217 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

"Eh~"

"You two are going too far. You kissed for so long in the afternoon, and now you want to show your affection, right?"

"That's right, it's too much!"

Chen Qingqing was a little embarrassed by what she said, and turned aside to stop Xu Ye from looking any further.

But she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Girls are always happy when they are praised by their favorite boys.

The five people stayed here until half past six, and returned after dark. After Xu Ye sent them to the dormitory, he wanted to keep Chen Qingqing in the car to talk, but thinking that they had been together for so long in the afternoon, he didn't say anything.

But Chen Qingqing, when she got off the car, repeatedly told Xu Ye to go to bed early tonight and not to sleep in tomorrow morning.

After saying that, Chen Qingqing blinked her eyes, as if hinting at something.

Xu Ye understood what she meant in seconds, because tomorrow was Shen Xinyi's birthday, and she had to prepare a birthday present for Shen Xinyi in the morning.

After Xu Ye watched them go upstairs, he drove back to the hotel alone. Just after arriving at the hotel, Qin Zhiwei called him before he even took off his shoes.

Qin Zhiwei: "Hey, Xu Ye, come pick me up early tomorrow."

Xu Ye: "What time?"

Qin Zhiwei: "Around eight o'clock."

Xu Ye: "Get lost, if it's around eight o'clock, I have to wake up at around seven o'clock."

Qin Zhiwei also felt that his request was a bit "excessive", so he quickly changed his words and said: "Then try to come earlier."

Xu Ye: "Is the birthday gift ready?"

Qin Zhiwei: "Yeah, I bought it at the counter today."

Xu Ye: "Why don't you come today?"

Qin Zhiwei: "I changed to a four-person dormitory. Now it's much more normal to have three roommates. The previous roommate was too fucked up. I should have told you, right?"

Xu Ye: "Well, let's put it this way first. My mother sent me a message."

Qin Zhiwei: "Okay."

Xu Ye hung up the phone and clicked on the chat page with the note name "Empress Dowager Zhang".

Zhang Hong: "Son, have you eaten?"

Whenever Zhang Hong had nothing to do and went to Xu Ye, she would basically start with this question, regardless of whether it was time for dinner or not.

In fact, most parents would ask this question as the first sentence when chatting with their children who were studying in college.

Xu Ye quickly sent a video invitation.

Zhang Hong answered the video almost immediately.

Zhang Hong and Lao Xu, who were sitting on the sofa, soon appeared on Xu Ye's mobile phone screen.

After the video was connected, Zhang Hong slapped Lao Xu on the thigh and yelled: "Can't you see that I'm video chatting with my son? Turn off the TV sound!"

Lao Xu screamed in pain, but he still rubbed his thigh and turned off the news broadcast directly.

"Son, have you eaten yet?"

"Yes."

After seeing the background wall of the hotel, Zhang Hong quickly asked: "You are not in the dormitory, are you?"

Xu Ye confessed directly: "I am in the hotel next to your daughter-in-law's school."

Zhang Hong chuckled: "Will the girl say anything about you if you say that?"

"She is not here now."

Xu Ye quickly added: "But it's okay. I call her mom in front of her."

Old Xu raised his thumb and said: "Son, you are better than me in this respect."

"Pa."

Zhang Hong slapped Old Xu again, and said proudly: "Nonsense, of course my son is better than you."

Old Xu felt so wronged. He wanted to say "Your son is my son, without me, where would he come from?" But seeing Zhang Hong's happy face, he was too lazy to say it out loud to avoid another slap later.

"Son, tell me today what the adults in his family do?"

"I've said it before." Xu Ye said concisely: "His parents divorced a few years ago. His father is the president of a city bank and his mother is the vice president of a multinational beauty company. But they are still in contact and will probably remarry in the future."

After listening to this, Zhang Hong said with some worry: "Their family is so good, how can they be attracted to ours?"

"Mom, am I not excellent?"

"Their family is much better than ours. Now people pay attention to matching."

Xu Ye smiled and said: "Mom, don't forget that your son is now a small boss. In two years, he may become a big boss. Don't worry about this. You don't know how much his mother likes me."

"Anyway, you can have a relationship, but you haven't graduated yet, so you should pay attention to safety."

The mother and son were chatting.

Jiang Meilin also sent a message at this time.

Jiang Meilin: "Xiao Xu, are you with Qingqing this week?"

Xu Ye glanced at WeChat, told Lao Zhang that his mother-in-law was looking for him, and then hung up the video in a hurry.

"Haha, you are dumbfounded, your son hung up the video as soon as his mother-in-law sent a message. He has forgotten his mother because he has a mother-in-law."

Zhang Hong grabbed Lao Xu's ear: "What are you gloating about here? Go mop the floor."

"Didn't I mop the floor once when I got home from get off work?"

"Then mop it again."

"Wife, if you treat me like this again, I will go to your parents to complain."

"Have some shame."

Every time Old Xu went to his father-in-law's house, he would complain to the two old people. In the early years, the two old people would help their son-in-law to scold their daughter, but after so many times, the two old people were no longer surprised. Now they just comforted Old Xu.

After seeing the message from Jiang Meilin, Xu Ye quickly replied: "We just came back from outside and sent her back to the dormitory. I am alone in the hotel now."

After Xu Ye sent this message, he picked out a few photos taken in the afternoon at Binjiang Greenland and sent them to Chen Qingqing.

Jiang Meilin quickly called a video.

She should be in her office, with a large floor-to-ceiling window in the background, and she can see the night view of the city outside. The location is most likely the central business district of a first-tier city.

"Where did you go today?" Jiang Meilin changed her serious look when she was in the company and smiled gently.

Xu Ye also smiled and said, "It's not far, just over the riverside green space, also by the Huangpu River, and across from the Shanghai Expo Cultural Park."

"I saw Qingqing just posted a circle of friends."

"Really? I haven't had time to see it yet."

Jiang Meilin has seen the changes in Chen Qingqing in the past six months. The number of Moments posted by Chen Qingqing in the past six months is almost more than the total number of Moments posted in the three years of high school. Although most of them are just some landscape photos, it is enough to explain many problems.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Qingqing's roommate has a birthday tomorrow. Qingqing and I will go shopping in the mall to buy a gift in the morning. Let's see in the afternoon. We will have dinner together in the evening, and then I will go back to school."

Jiang Meilin smiled and nodded, then turned the topic to Xu Ye: "How is the game company you invested in?"

"The turnover in the first quarter increased by 12% year-on-year, and I am very interested in their next project. If nothing unexpected happens, their studio's next game "Honkai Impact 3" will be launched next year."

"If you don't understand anything about investment, you can ask me. I know a lot of people in the investment industry and may be able to provide you with some help."

"Okay."

The two chatted for about a quarter of an hour. Jiang Meilin heard the assistant knocking on the door outside, so she hung up the video and continued to work.

Xu Ye quickly sent a message to Chen Hansong: "Auntie is working overtime. If you know the location of Auntie's company, please order a cup of coffee for Auntie."

After the message was sent successfully, Xu Ye also sighed to himself: "This is really the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
