Chapter 1652 gave away a turtle.
One day, Ye Junhao, who had vanished without a trace, suddenly reappeared in the public eye in a very high-profile manner.
The cameras of major news media outlets focused on him, as if he were a dazzling shooting star that suddenly streaked across the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
He wore a well-tailored black suit with a snow-white shirt underneath and an elegant blue tie at the collar, making him look both capable and elegant.
He was slowly pushed by his assistant onto the stage covered with a red carpet, a seemingly gentle and friendly smile on his face. The smile was like the spring sunshine, seemingly warm, yet somewhat unfathomable.
On stage, Ye Junhao stood under the spotlight, his chin slightly raised, his eyes revealing an undeniable domineering aura.
He cleared his throat, his deep, magnetic voice carrying clearly through the microphone throughout the venue: "Today, I officially announce that I will be fully 'entering' the three major sectors of real estate, finance, and entertainment in the capital. I believe that with my abilities and wisdom, I will definitely be able to carve out my own niche in these three sectors and contribute my share to the development of the capital."
His words were powerful and resonant, each one carrying an invisible force that echoed in the air.
At this moment, in Nan Weiwei's home, she and Xu Xiaoxiao were nestled on the comfortable sofa, eating snacks and watching TV.
The television was broadcasting news footage of Ye Junhao announcing his entry into three major sectors in the capital.
Xu Xiaoxiao pointed to the TV screen and turned to Nan Weiwei, saying, "This is Ye Junhao, the one who made you and Nan Yifeng argue."
Nan Weiwei was stuffing a potato chip into her mouth when she heard Xu Xiaoxiao's words. She nodded, her eyes still fixed on the TV screen, and mumbled, "How is it? I'm alright looking, right?"
Her eyes held a hint of curiosity, as if she wanted to take a closer look at this man who had suddenly appeared and caused such a stir on the television screen.
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned, carefully examining Ye Junhao on TV. Then she pursed her lips and said dismissively, "Not so great, just a pretty boy. But..." She paused, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, "I feel like those eyes look familiar, like someone, but I can't quite place who." She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Then, Xu Xiaoxiao began to analyze Ye Junhao's personality.
She sat up slightly, her gaze becoming focused, as if she were a professional psychoanalyst.
"Judging from his personality, looking at him like this... tsk tsk tsk, I think he gives off a mysterious and unpredictable vibe, as if he has a deep mind and is a scheming dog."
Nan Weiwei... isn't that right?
“Weiwei, look at his face. Although he’s smiling, that smile… it’s a forced smile.”
"How did you figure that out?" Nan Weiwei asked, puzzled.
"Look at his cold eyes, you can't see a real smile. The smile on his face is like a mask, tightly covering his true thoughts."
Nan Weiwei said, "Why don't you open a psychological counseling center? You'll definitely have business there."
“Look at his tone of voice. It’s always steady, slow and rhythmic, without any ups and downs. He’s deliberately restraining his emotions. It’s hard for others to guess what he’s thinking.”
As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to express her feelings more vividly.
Nan Weiwei couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Xu Xiaoxiao's analysis.
She gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder and teased, "Xu Xiaoxiao, you're doomed! Your behavior is becoming more and more like Fu Yanchen's. Look at how eloquently you analyze people; you're just like that old fox, Fu Yanchen." After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xu Xiaoxiao was amused by Nan Weiwei's words and laughed. She lightly hit Nan Weiwei and said, "Get lost, I'm just stating the facts. But seriously, this Ye Junhao seems really not simple. You and Nan Yifeng have to be careful in the future, don't let him scheme against you, it might even affect the Nan Group."
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed a hint of worry, after all, Ye Junhao's appearance had already brought considerable turbulence to Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng's lives.
Nan Weiwei's smile faded, and she nodded, saying, "Don't worry, the Nan family isn't someone to be trifled with. If he dares to play any tricks, we won't let him off easily." A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, as if she were assuring Xu Xiaoxiao, and also as if she were encouraging herself.
Little did they know that Ye Junhao's sudden appearance, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, would unleash a storm in their lives...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the thin curtains, gently bathing Nan Weiwei's room in a warm golden glow.
As usual, Nan Weiwei groggily got out of bed, stretched, and then slowly walked to the living room, ready to start her new day.
Just then, there was a knock on the apartment door. Nan Weiwei opened the door, and it was the deliveryman who said there was a package for her.
Nan Weiwei didn't pay much attention, assuming it was a gift from Nan Yifeng's mother. The cardboard box was beautifully packaged, with a pretty ribbon tied on it, clearly indicating that it had been carefully prepared.
Nan Weiwei frowned slightly. Nan Yifeng's mother wouldn't send such a flashy but impractical gift. Nan Weiwei was filled with doubt. She tried hard to recall if she had bought anything recently, or if any friends had said they wanted to give her a gift, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't think of anyone who would send it to her.
With curiosity, she carefully untied the ribbon and opened the box.
When she saw what was in the box, her eyes widened instantly, and an expression of utter speechlessness appeared on her face. It turned out the box contained a turtle.
This turtle is neither too big nor too small, and its shell has unique patterns that resemble a mysterious design.
Its head would occasionally peek out from its shell, its little eyes darting around as if curiously observing its new environment.
Just as Nan Weiwei was staring blankly at the turtle, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and saw it was a call from Ye Junhao. She hesitated for a moment, then answered. Ye Junhao's deep, magnetic voice came from the other end: "Weiwei, did you receive the gift? That turtle was left to me by someone very important to me; it has special meaning. However, I really don't like small animals, and I can't bear to throw it away, so I hope you can take care of it for me."
Upon hearing Ye Junhao's words, Nan Weiwei felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
She glared at him angrily and muttered irritably, "Ye Junhao, aren't you too idle? You don't want to raise this damn tortoise anymore, so you just dump it on me! Please, I work so hard every day, I'm spinning like a top, I'm exhausted, I can barely support myself, where would I find the energy to take care of that little tortoise!"
Her voice trembled slightly with anger; she simply couldn't understand why Ye Junhao would push such a troublesome matter onto her.
Ye Junhao seemed to have anticipated Nan Weiwei's reaction. He said calmly, "Weiwei, don't be angry. I know this might cause you trouble, but I really have no other choice. Besides, this turtle isn't difficult to raise. You just need to feed it occasionally and change its water. Just consider it a favor to me, okay?" His tone was pleading, which softened Nan Weiwei's heart.
Nan Weiwei shook her head firmly. Although Ye Junhao couldn't see it, she still said, "No, I really don't have the time or energy to take care of it. You should think of another way." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Nan Weiwei looked at the turtle in front of her and felt a headache coming on.
She thought to herself, she couldn't really throw it away, after all, it was left by someone very important to Ye Junhao. But she really didn't want to keep it. What should she do?
Suddenly, she thought of her good friend Xiaomei. Xiaomei was a very thoughtful person and especially loved animals. She used to have several pets at home, and she took meticulous care of them.
Nan Weiwei felt that entrusting the turtle to Xiaomei was definitely a good choice.
So, I knocked on Xiaomei's door and called her.
Xiao Mei opened the door, yawning. "Weiwei, what's up? Is there something you need?"
Nan smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Mei, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. I received a turtle; someone asked me to take care of it, but I really don't have time to look after it myself. Could you take care of it for me?"
When Xiaomei heard that she could keep a turtle, she immediately became excited and said, "Of course! I love animals the most. Don't worry, I will take good care of it." Nanwei felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.
Nan Weiwei handed the item to Xiao Mei. As soon as Xiao Mei saw the turtle in Nan Weiwei's hand, she excitedly ran over, took the box, and eagerly opened it to take a look.
"Wow, this turtle is so cute!" Xiaomei said, gently stroking the turtle's head.
The turtle seemed to sense Xiaomei's kindness, and slowly stretched its head out even longer, blinking its little eyes as if to greet Xiaomei.
Watching the heartwarming scene of Xiaomei interacting with the turtle, Nan Weiwei smiled and said, "Xiaomei, then I'll leave it to you. This turtle is in your care; please take good care of it." Xiaomei patted her chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely raise it to be plump and healthy."

周末
Sunlight filters through the dappled leaves, casting dappled patterns and adding a touch of languid charm to this leisurely weekend.
The sunlight gently fell on the turtle tank in the corner, where the turtle was slowly crawling at the bottom.
Xiao Mei squatted beside the turtle tank, holding a special turtle food in her hand. She spoke softly to the turtle while carefully dropping the turtle food into the tank one grain at a time.
"Weiwei, what are you planning to do today since it's your day off?" Xiaomei tilted her head, looked at Nan Weiwei sitting in a wicker chair, leisurely flipping through a magazine, and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing Xiaomei's voice, Nan Weiwei put down the magazine in her hand, looked up, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm going to see Nan Yifeng's mother. Will you come with me?"
There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes. After all, Xiaomei was her best friend. With her by her side, she would have company on the journey and the atmosphere wouldn't be so dull.
Xiao Mei shook her head vigorously after hearing Nan Weiwei's words, and quickly said, "I'm not familiar with her, I won't go, it would be awkward."
A troubled look appeared on her face, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she could already imagine the awkward scene of having nothing to say when she met Nan Yifeng's mother.
She continued, "Besides, I'm not good with words, and it would be bad if I said something wrong. You should go by yourself, and I'll stay home to take care of our little turtle."
As she spoke, she tossed a few more turtle pellets into the turtle tank, watching intently as the turtle ate.
Nan Weiwei thought about it and agreed. Xiao Mei and Nan Yifeng's mother hadn't really had much contact, so going together suddenly might make them feel a little awkward.
She stood up, stretched, and said, "Alright then, you stay home and take care of the turtle. I can go by myself; it'll be fine, and I can have a good chat with Auntie."
Afterwards, Nan Weiwei returned to her room and began selecting things to take to visit Nan Yifeng's mother.
She stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time, carefully selecting a decent and elegant dress. After changing into it, she carefully tidied her hair and makeup in front of the mirror to ensure that she looked energetic and neat.
Next, she went to the living room, picked out some fresh fruit from the fruit basket, and took out a box of exquisite health products from the cabinet. These were all carefully prepared by her, hoping to let Nan Yifeng's mother feel her sincerity.
After everything was ready, Nan Weiwei picked up her things and said goodbye to Xiao Mei: "Xiao Mei, I'm leaving now. If you're bored at home, watch TV or go out for a walk."
Xiao Mei stood up, saw Nan Weiwei to the door, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and the little turtle. Be careful on your way, and send me a message when you arrive." Nan Weiwei nodded and went out.
Along the way, the warm sunshine shone on her body, and a gentle breeze caressed her cheeks, making Nan Weiwei feel exceptionally relaxed.
She imagined the scene when she met Nan Yifeng's mother, silently thinking about what she should say.
Soon, she arrived at the residential area where Nan Yifeng's mother lived.
The neighborhood has a beautiful environment, with shady trees and lush flowers and plants, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. Nan Weiwei arrived at the door of Nan Yifeng's mother's house.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then gently knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and it was Nan Yifeng's father who opened it. Nan Yifeng's mother was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Nan Weiwei, her face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, and she said warmly, "Weiwei is here! Come in, come in!"
Nan smiled and walked into the house, handing the things in her hands to Nan Yifeng's father, saying, "Auntie, I've come to see you. These are some small gifts I brought for you. I hope you like them."
Nan Yifeng's mother took Nan Weiwei's hand and said, "My dear child, you've come all this way, why did you bring anything? You're too kind. Please sit down." With that, she pulled Nan Weiwei to sit on the sofa and asked her husband to go to the kitchen to get some water.
Nan Weiwei sat on the sofa, looking around at the room's furnishings; everything was still so familiar and cozy.
A moment later, Nan Yifeng's father came over with a glass of water and placed it in front of Nan Weiwei. Nan Yifeng's mother said, "Weiwei, have some water. Have you been busy with work lately? How are you feeling?"
Nan Weiwei took the water and said with a smile, "Auntie, work is alright, not too busy. I'm feeling fine, so you don't need to worry. How have you been lately? Is your foot feeling better?" Just then, the doorbell rang...
