"Old Dean, I went abroad for a while before, and I'm not sure how Han Qing's relationship with her parents is now. Do you know anything about it?"

"It's neither good nor bad!" the old dean sighed slightly.

"Then that's already a good situation. What do they want from you?"

"Mr. Su told me that his father is getting old and his birthday is coming up. He often talks about Han Qing, wanting to see her. But you know Han Qing's temper!" the old dean said with some helplessness, "She doesn't want to go back, and I've talked to her about it, but she still hasn't agreed!"

"Can you help persuade her for me?"

The old dean, being elderly himself, naturally understood that as people grow old, most don't care about those so-called benefits and rights!

What they long for is family affection!

Even though the old dean has no children in his life, he deeply hopes that the children who left the welfare institute can come back to visit.

He doesn't expect those people to contribute to the welfare institute, just hopes they'll come by and sit for a while.

Now that Mei Hanqing has been missing for so many years, and the Su family has finally found her, naturally, the old Mr. Su wants to see his granddaughter whom he hasn't seen in over twenty years!

The old dean understands this feeling, which is why he called Ye Xunhuan, hoping Ye Xunhuan could persuade Mei Hanqing to visit the Su family.

Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll try, but I don't know if I'll succeed!"

"Do your best and let fate decide!"

"Alright, I'll talk to Han Qing later. Please take care of your health and don't work too hard. Call me directly if there's anything!"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Xunhuan didn't say much more to the old dean and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan slowly let out a sigh, not expecting that the old Mr. Su wanted to celebrate his birthday and also wanted Mei Hanqing to return.

But even the old dean couldn't persuade her; could he himself do it?

Regardless, since the old dean called, Ye Xunhuan naturally had to try to persuade Mei Hanqing, whether successful or not.

What puzzled Ye Xunhuan was why Jian Yunong hadn't contacted him but only the old dean. Did she expect that if the old dean couldn't persuade Mei Hanqing, he would definitely seek Ye Xunhuan's help?

Could this woman have calculated even this?

Then, Ye Xunhuan let out another sigh, stopped pondering, and got up to leave his office to find Mei Hanqing.

Soon, Ye Xunhuan arrived at the PR department.

After reaching the PR department, Ye Xunhuan headed straight for Mei Hanqing's office.

For Ye Xunhuan, no matter whose office it was, he never had the habit of knocking. He always just pushed the door open and entered.

"Creak!"

The office door opened in response.

Mei Hanqing, who was previously working at her desk, instinctively looked up towards the door upon hearing it open.

When she saw it was Ye Xunhuan, a surprised expression appeared on Mei Hanqing's face, but then she seemed a bit excited.

"Why are you here?" Mei Hanqing put the file in her hand on the table and softly asked Ye Xunhuan.

"Why, does Little Qing Qing not want to see me?"

"No!" Mei Hanqing immediately shook her head, "It's just that the last incident happened only two days ago, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

"Things that should come will always come; there's no use avoiding them!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "Besides, even if you're scared, does it mean what's meant to happen won't happen?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Mei Hanqing gave a small smile.

Ye Xunhuan was right; such things don't just disappear because you're afraid.

"Alright, but why do you suddenly have the time to visit me, where's your little secretary?"

"Bodhi is busy with something, I don't know what!" Ye Xunhuan said as he slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

"You really have it easy as the department head, having your secretary handle everything!"

"That's called the upper person does the labor, the middle person does the thinking..."

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's leisurely and carefree attitude, Mei Hanqing couldn't help but interrupt, "Know what I like most about you?"

"Handsome!"

Saying that, Ye Xunhuan narcissistically reached out to touch his face!

"Wrong!"

"Is it my cool?"

"It's shamelessness!" Mei Hanqing said earnestly.

Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This woman is actually mocking him.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's face going dark, Mei Hanqing laughed brightly, "I really don't know who taught you to be so thick-skinned, to such an extent!"

"Are you saying I'm thick-skinned?"

"Isn't your face very thin?"

"Of course!" Ye Xunhuan said seriously, "Whenever I speak to a girl, I blush!"

Mei Hanqing was at a loss for words.

This guy's shamelessness was unmatched by anyone.

After trading a few jokes, Ye Xunhuan started to talk about the serious matter.

"I've been quite busy lately, so I'm not sure how things are between you and your mother now?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan mention Jian Yunong, an expression of complexity crossed Mei Hanqing's face, followed by a soft sigh, "I haven't completely accepted it, but I don't reject it either!"

"That's a good sign!" Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, "Just interact a bit more, it'll get better!"

Mei Hanqing smiled but said nothing more.

Seeing Mei Hanqing's silence, Ye Xunhuan spoke again, "So, she didn't mention taking you back to the Su family?"

Mei Hanqing's eyes swept over Ye Xunhuan with suspicion, she spoke softly, "Are you here to act as her spokesperson?"

"What spokesperson?"

"What, isn't she asking you to talk to me about going back to the Su family to wish Mr. Su a happy birthday?"

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan realized that trying to subtly hint was impossible, this woman was too smart and caught on with just a word.

"She didn't contact me, it was the old dean, the old dean called me and told me!" Ye Xunhuan said honestly without hiding anything, "The old dean asked me to persuade you to visit the Su family!"

Mei Hanqing had initially thought Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi hadn't persuaded her and had specially sought out Ye Xunhuan. But unexpectedly, it was the old dean who proactively contacted Ye Xunhuan.

This left Mei Hanqing momentarily unsure of what to say.

"What are your thoughts?"

"Do you want me to go back?" Mei Hanqing asked in reply.

"I know even now, you must have some resentment in your heart, but Mr. Su must be quite old. To put it bluntly, he may be here today, but tomorrow is uncertain!" Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly, "Grant his wish, go back and see him, celebrate his birthday!"

An expression of struggle and hesitation appeared on Mei Hanqing's face.

These days, she had been wondering whether to go back or not.

Now, with Ye Xunhuan's words, she felt even more conflicted inside.

Biting her lip, Mei Hanqing looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Can you accompany me back?"
