Chapter 2528: Chapter 332

Momo chuckled lightly. "If you say that to Ziyi, he’ll definitely make you start work right away."

"Really? I was worried Young Master Yi wouldn’t take me in. Now that you say that, Sister-in-law, I’m relieved."

Chu Junming had a look of surprise and relief on his face, like he really might one day run the Chu Family into the ground and then come to Haochen to look for a job.

While they were eating breakfast, Momo got a call from Qingqing.

She asked if Momo wanted to go see Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao off.

"Yes, I’ll head straight to the airport in a bit."

A trace of annoyance flashed through Momo’s eyes; she’d almost forgotten about it.

Ye Zhan was sitting beside her. He clearly heard what she and Qingqing were talking about, and as soon as she hung up, he said, "I’ll go to the airport with you later."

Momo shot him a reproachful look, meaning it was all his fault. If he hadn’t seduced her into coming here last night...

She wouldn’t have forgotten such an important thing today.

Ye Zhan smiled, ignoring the two giant third wheels at the table. He raised his hand to brush a stray lock of hair off her forehead. "Eat breakfast first."

After breakfast, just as Ye Zhan and Momo were about to leave for the airport, his phone started ringing again.

No one knew who was calling or what they said. They just saw Ye Zhan frowning, his expression turning ugly. "I’ll head over right away."

"Did something happen?"

Momo looked at his broodingly handsome face with concern.

Ye Zhan nodded, the knot in his brow never loosening. "Momo, I can’t take you to the airport."

"Big Brother, go take care of business. I’ll drive Sister-in-law to the airport."

Chu Junming immediately chimed in.

Anyway, there was more than one car at Ye Zhan’s home. He could drive Momo himself.

Feng Yize followed up with a guarantee. "Big Brother, Third Brother and I will take Sister-in-law to the airport together. You go handle your stuff, don’t worry."

Ye Zhan looked at Momo, as if waiting for her answer.

He’d always been a man of his word; he’d just said he’d take her, but now a last‑minute emergency meant he couldn’t.

He was afraid Momo would be upset.

Momo wrinkled her brows and urged him, "Isn’t it something important? Hurry and go deal with it. Junming and Yi Ze can take me."

"Alright. Call me if anything comes up."

Only then did Ye Zhan nod and stride out of the dining room.

"I’ll go check on him. You two eat slowly."

Momo said a quick word to Chu Junming and Feng Yize, then went after Ye Zhan, chasing him upstairs.

After seeing Ye Zhan out the door, Momo waited a few more minutes for Feng Yize and Chu Junming.

All because Feng Yize insisted on washing the dishes and refused to let Momo lift a finger.

"Sister-in-law, just sit there and chat with Third Brother or something. Leave the dishwashing to me."

"Can you wash them clean?" Momo eyed Feng Yize a little skeptically.

Being doubted made Feng Yize instantly aggrieved. "Sister-in-law, you’re underestimating me way too much. I’m no worse than Big Brother. Whatever he can do, I can do; whatever he can’t do, I still can. By the way, when is the housekeeper coming to work? He didn’t really fire her, did he?"

"Housekeeper?"

A hint of surprise flickered through Momo’s eyes.

Since when did Ye Zhan have a housekeeper?

Seeing Momo’s completely baffled expression, Feng Yize asked, "Sister-in-law, you didn’t know Big Brother has a housekeeper? When Zirui had his birthday and we stayed here, the housekeeper even cooked for us."

"Really?"

Momo asked in a flat tone.

She remembered Ye Zhan got injured on Zirui’s birthday.

She’d said she would hire a housekeeper for him, but he refused, using the excuse that he didn’t like strangers coming in and out of his home.

"Mm, if you don’t believe me, ask Third Brother."

Chu Junming had been watching Momo’s expression and listening to the change in her tone this whole time. He also had no idea why she didn’t know their Big Brother used to have a part‑time maid coming in.

But judging from her look, she really didn’t know.

Being called out, he smiled gently and said, "Sister-in-law, Big Brother did hire a part‑time maid for a while. Maybe he wasn’t used to it, so he let her go."

"Maybe."

Momo wasn’t stupid. From what Feng Yize said, it was clear Ye Zhan had lied to her before.

He might really have fired the part‑time maid.

But not because he wasn’t used to it.

He’d done it to trick her into coming over to cook for him.

And she’d stupidly believed him, feeling sorry for his injury and actually running over to make him meals.

Hmph, just wait till he gets back—she’d definitely settle this with him!

By the time Momo, Chu Junming, and Feng Yize arrived at the airport, everyone else was already there.

In the VIP lounge, Bai Qingling was hugging Bai Xiaoxiao tightly, reluctant to let go. "Mom, you have to call me often, or I’ll really miss you."

"Junming, Yi Ze, I’ll be going home with my parents later," Momo told Chu Junming and Feng Yize before going in.

"Got it. We’ll say hi to Uncle Mo and the others, then head out."

Chu Junming and Feng Yize weren’t strangers to the Mo elders.

They’d met all of them when Zirui had his first birthday. Now, with Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao heading off on a world tour, it would be even more inappropriate not to pay their respects.

Mo Ziye squinted slightly as he saw Chu Junming and Feng Yize come in with Momo, then smiled and greeted them.

Luo Haofeng was also a bit surprised to see Chu Junming.

After the greetings, he remembered what Ziyi had just mentioned about letting Qingling take over the cooperation case with the Chu Family.

Afraid his daughter might make mistakes or be wronged later, he said to Chu Junming, "Junming, Ziyi just told me that the cooperation between Haochen and the Chu Family will be handled by Qingling. She’s a newcomer at Haochen. If there’s anything she doesn’t understand, I’ll have to trouble you to look after her."

"I’ll be counting on your guidance in future, President Chu."

Bai Qingling didn’t have a deep impression of Chu Junming—neither particularly good nor bad. Even though he’d joined their family group chat lately, he wasn’t like chatterbox Feng Yize. With everyone, he was polite and courteous, full of gentlemanly manners.

Facing Bai Qingling’s polite and modest formality, Chu Junming gave a gentlemanly, warm smile. "Miss Bai, I look forward to working with you."

"I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

Seeing Chu Junming extend his hand, Bai Qingling immediately reached out as well.

Chu Junming gave her hand a brief shake and let go.

Then he turned to exchange a few words with Luo Haofeng. Mo Ziye checked the time and spoke up at just the right moment. "Since President Chu got to G City ahead of schedule, if you don’t have anything else urgent, why don’t we head to Haochen later and finalize the development of the new project?"

"No problem."

Chu Junming agreed readily.

He said to Feng Yize, "Yi Ze, you’re free to do whatever you want today. Here, take the car keys."

"Sure."

Feng Yize lifted his brows and took the keys from Chu Junming.

At

Chu Junming then asked Mo Ziye, "Mo General, you don’t mind giving me a ride, do you?"

He figured Mo Ziye wouldn’t be that petty. This was his turf, and they were partners.

Who knew Mo Ziye would actually turn him down.

He just saw him smile slowly. "I’m really sorry, there actually isn’t room in my car. I have to take my sister and Qingqing home first before going to the company. You can ride with Qingling. She drove herself, and she’s going to the company anyway, so it’s on the way."

Mo Ziye was doing it on purpose.

Looking at his smile, Chu Junming thought, this must be because he bet on Big Brother Ye Zhan to win in the group chat!
