Chapter 53 - 53 0053 Picking Up from the Airport
?53: Chapter 0053: Picking Up from the Airport 53: Chapter 0053: Picking Up from the Airport Three o’clock in the afternoon, Jiangzhong City International Airport!
A Bentley Continental slowly drove up, attracting the attention of many onlookers.
Although Bentley sedans are world-renowned luxury cars, and words such as prestigious, elegant, and extravagant have become synonymous with them, with the increasing number of wealthy people, Bentleys have become less of a rarity.
They may not be as ubiquitous as BMWs, but they are no longer a novelty that can attract countless gazes.
The reason this particular Bentley Continental drew so much attention was completely due to its eye-catching license plate, a string of number nines!
Anyone with a bit of sense, upon seeing this license plate, would undoubtedly know that the owner of this Continental is no ordinary person!
One should know that being able to sport a string of nines on a license plate is not something money alone can accomplish.
Under everyone’s gaze, the car door opened slowly.
A black high-heeled shoe emerged from the car; a dainty shoe with a slim heel, every part meticulously crafted.
Then came a pair of pristine white legs.
The legs were long and not clad in excitement-inducing stockings, yet the smooth curves of her hips had a perfect arc, dazzling all who saw them…
Nobody expected that the person alighting from this mighty car with an equally impressive license plate would turn out to be an extraordinarily charming beauty.
Accentuated by the black stilettos, the woman’s legs appeared even longer and more enticing, especially the curve of her hips, which provoked thoughts of a certain blood-boiling scene.
Her flawless oval face, though not heavily made up, was not bare either, but had received special attention.
Her black hair was swept up high atop her head, leaving only two strands draping down by her ears, sporting a style that was the latest trend yet rarely seen, because most women simply couldn’t pull off such an elegant hairstyle—attempting it would only make them look more vulgar.
However, this woman managed to make the hairstyle look perfect, as if she were a proud white swan.
Regal and refined, she seemed like a goddess standing above the clouds.
Although she did not exude dominance, she carried a cold temperament that kept people at bay, creating a special aura around her that made others hesitate to approach.
Upon seeing this woman, many men found themselves involuntarily swallowing, unable to imagine that a woman could be this perfect.
She was a marvel, a masterpiece of God.
Other women, after setting eyes on her, hung their heads in shame.
Compared to her, they felt like ugly ducklings, mere stars, while she was the bright moon surrounded by stars, stealing all their light.
This woman was none other than Qiu Ruoxi, who had hurried from the Huangtu Corporation to pick up her parents.
Qiu Ruoxi stepped out of the car and raised her hand to check the expensive and delicate ladies’ watch on her wrist.
She then looked around the airport as if searching for someone.
Indeed, Qiu Ruoxi was looking for someone.
Looking for her good-for-nothing husband, Ye Xunhuan!
She had told Ye Xunhuan that her parents would be arriving in Jiangzhong City at three in the afternoon and asked him to accompany her to the airport to pick them up.
However, this bastard had disappeared, and she had not been able to find him.
Reflecting on the phone call from her parents yesterday, when they mentioned that it was fine if she didn’t come, but Ye Xunhuan must, Qiu Ruoxi felt drained.
It was as though she was not their biological daughter, while it seemed like Ye Xunhuan was their real son.
It apparently didn’t matter if she came to pick them up or if they saw her, but it was imperative they see Ye Xunhuan.
Where had that scoundrel run off to?
Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but complain about Ye Xunhuan in her heart.
After all, her parents would be arriving soon.
When they walked through the arrival gate and saw only her without Ye Xunhuan, they would surely jump to conclusions and speak ill of her…
Just as Qiu Ruoxi was feeling anxious, two familiar figures suddenly caught her eye.
These two people were none other than the parents of Qiu Ruoxi, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong!
Qiu Shuihan was in his fifties, with a burly figure and a slightly protruding belly.
His eyebrows were very thick and bushy, resembling those of a great man from Huaxia, giving him an imposing aura without anger.
Xiahou Yutong, on the other hand, appeared very young, perhaps due to excellent maintenance; her skin was fair, and her figure was graceful.
Time had not left many traces on her, but instead added an unusual charm to her, a charm of mature allure!
There’s a saying that daughters resemble their fathers, but Qiu Ruoxi didn’t resemble Qiu Shuihan at all; she was the spitting image of Xiahou Yutong.
Those unaware would definitely think the two were sisters, rather than mother and daughter, based solely on their appearance.
Upon seeing her parents, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t notice Ye Xunhuan and couldn’t help but curse him in her heart.
This bastard, he must have done it on purpose, he must have wanted to make her get scolded for not showing up.
Although Qiu Ruoxi knew that her parents would be unhappy not seeing Ye Xunhuan, and might even scold her, she still had to bite the bullet and go over; surely she couldn’t just retreat because Ye Xunhuan didn’t come?
Then, Qiu Ruoxi walked toward Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong.
“Dad, Mom…”
When Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong saw Qiu Ruoxi, thick smiles immediately appeared on their faces, but they quickly vanished as their gazes began to sweep around the vicinity.
As Qiu Ruoxi approached Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong, their eyes were still scanning the surroundings restlessly.
“Ruoxi, where’s Xunhuan?
Why don’t I see him?” Xiahou Yutong asked while continuously looking around.
“Did you bully him again?”
Although Qiu Ruoxi had guessed that her parents would ask about Ye Xunhuan’s absence, she hadn’t expected her mother to think that she was the one bullying Ye Xunhuan.
Could she even bully this bastard?
It would be good enough if this bastard didn’t bully her!
Just as Qiu Ruoxi opened her mouth to speak, Qiu Shuihan let out a cold snort, “Is that even a question?
Surely it’s her bullying Xunhuan, that kid, or maybe she didn’t even tell Xunhuan we were coming, deliberately preventing him from picking us up!”
“Dad, I…”
“If Xunhuan isn’t coming, then what are you doing here?” Qiu Shuihan immediately interrupted Qiu Ruoxi, speaking somewhat angrily, “Haven’t I told you already, if Xunhuan doesn’t come, you might as well not come either?”
Qiu Ruoxi’s face was instantly filled with an aggrieved expression.
Are these really her own parents?
Is she truly their biological child and not some wild-born?
And just at that moment, an extremely excited voice rang out, “Dad, Mom!”
Upon hearing this voice, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong immediately looked toward the source of the sound.
When they saw Ye Xunhuan, the frowns on their faces relaxed at once, and the displeasure turned into joy.
“Xunhuan, you’re here!”
Ye Xunhuan grinned and said, “I thought you would have to wait a while longer, so I went to buy two bottles of water first.
You must be tired after sitting on the plane for hours, and with the heat right now, coming off the plane must be a bit uncomfortable…”
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong smiled broadly.
They couldn’t help but glance at Qiu Ruoxi as if to say, look at how caring and affectionate our son-in-law is, and then look at you, our daughter!
After deciphering the meaning in Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong’s eyes, Qiu Ruoxi felt even more wronged and hated Ye Xunhuan to the core—this bastard was definitely doing it on purpose!
“So I asked Ruoxi to wait here for you while I went to get water, but I didn’t expect to miss the chance to see you first,” Ye Xunhuan said as he wrapped his arm around Qiu Ruoxi’s slender waist: “But that just gave her an advantage!”
When Ye Xunhuan suddenly encircled her like that, Qiu Ruoxi’s body trembled reflexively, wanting to break free.
But remembering her parents were there, she had no choice but to allow Ye Xunhuan to hold her while also forcing a smile on her face.
Although she smiled outwardly, anger was raging within Qiu Ruoxi.
This bastard, he was definitely taking advantage of her on purpose!
