"I wouldn't say I'm worried," Ye Zhi calmly looked at him. "To be precise, I don't care. Qi Xuan, you saw that exposé too, didn't you? Not everything in that exposé was unfounded.
Back then, my mother had trouble conceiving due to health issues, so my father accompanied her to many hospitals. But they went to well-known hospitals in big cities. People who could afford to go to those hospitals generally weren't in a bad financial situation. However, back in that era, they couldn't determine gender, but many families wanted boys.
My parents told me that I was wrapped in a blanket, the kind you can buy anywhere in a department store, and left by the roadside. When they found me, I was blue and practically at death's door. It was they who took me to the hospital and saved my life.
So, for me, regardless of the reason, whether it was voluntary or involuntary, I have no familial connection with my biological parents. The moment they abandoned me, I had essentially already died. I don't care who they are, because the ones who gave me life are my current parents."
Ye Zhi exhaled slowly. She truly didn't care about her biological parents because their daughter had genuinely died then; she was just a soul from another world.
Qi Xuan's gaze fell on her, his eyes deep. He could feel the sincerity in Ye Zhi's words. He asked in a low voice, "Don't you have any regrets?"
"No," Ye Zhi smiled faintly. "Because my parents gave me complete parental love! And now I have a happy family, a successful career, a house, a cat, and good girlfriends, plus a fantastic neighbor like you. Isn't this the peak of life? Where would I have regrets?"
Qi Xuan's eyes flickered. "Don't you really feel like something is missing?"
"Missing what?" Ye Zhi pondered seriously, then nodded and said with emotion, "If the Taoxun Technology Park is officially completed, then it will truly be the pinnacle of my life!"
Qi Xuan: ...
Just spend your life with your career!
"Aren't you considering your personal affairs?" Qi Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Personal affairs?" Ye Zhi thought again. "I've bought enough houses, I can't live in more... As for money, it's no different from numbers to me now! I don't really have very high demands for personal enjoyment..."
Qi Xuan looked at her with a mournful expression. This girl's mind didn't have a trace of thought about romance!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Zhi asked, somewhat confused.
Qi Xuan's gaze deepened. Since she had never thought about it, he might as well bring it up himself.
"Haven't you considered addressing your personal romantic life?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Hahaha, I haven't!" Ye Zhi smiled frankly.
Qi Xuan's heart gradually sank.
Ye Zhi then casually added, "After all, I've met men like you who understand how to respect women, have excellent character, and are also good-looking. As for others, how could I possibly take a liking to them!"
Qi Xuan was stunned. What did Ye Zhi mean by that?
Was she implying that she wouldn't even look at men who couldn't compare to him?
In that case, her standards for a partner were higher than his? Wait, was he even within Ye Zhi's partner selection criteria?
Just as Qi Xuan was about to ask for clarification, Ye Zhi's phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Ye Yongxian. Ye Zhi quickly pressed the answer button.
The words Qi Xuan was about to ask had to be swallowed silently.
"Xiao Zhi," Ye Yongxian began with some hesitation, "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"
Ye Zhi: ...
This Ou Minghan is truly disgusting to her. Although his exposé hadn't caused much of a stir, it had genuinely affected her life!
"Dad, why would I look for them? You are my parents, I don't acknowledge anyone else!" Ye Zhi said crisply.
Ye Yongxian still seemed hesitant. He asked anxiously, "Perhaps they had some difficult circumstances back then? Shouldn't you find them and ask for clarification..."
"Dad, really, no need!" Ye Zhi helplessly pressed her forehead. "Regardless of whether they had difficult circumstances, I have no familial connection with them."
This answer clearly did not comfort Ye Yongxian. He sighed and persuaded again, "Xiao Zhi, if you want to find them, then go ahead and look. No matter what, we treat you as our own daughter, and that will never change..."
Ye Zhi was speechless. She understood that Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu were currently very uneasy, and a few words over the phone wouldn't be able to console them.
"Dad, I'll come back later. We can talk face-to-face about anything." Ye Zhi said in a deep voice.
Then, Ye Zhi hung up the phone and stood up directly. "Qi Xuan, I'm going home first. Please apologize to the butler for me. I barely ate the dinner he so meticulously prepared..."
Qi Xuan looked at her with a deep gaze. He still had questions to ask!
However, it was clearly not the time to ask questions.
"Okay," he replied helplessly.
Ye Zhi left in a hurry. After rushing back to the Ye family, she spent a long time persuading Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu before they believed that she truly had no intention of seeking out her biological parents.
That night, Ye Zhi stayed at the Ye family's residence. The next morning, she went to Taoxun to welcome the sponsors... ahem, guests, who were coming to visit Taoxun.
These guests had arrived successively yesterday. Ye Zhi had already arranged for them to stay at a five-star hotel near Taoxun.
This morning, Chen Wei and Shi Fan went to the hotel together to pick them up.
When these guests learned that their escorts were the Vice President of Taoxun and a treasure software engineer from Taoxun, they immediately felt valued.
When the group arrived at Taoxun in a grand procession, they were even more flattered to see Ye Zhi herself welcoming them.
Although they had received invitation letters, they had originally thought they were just coming for a tour of Taoxun and to learn from its advanced experience. They hadn't expected Taoxun to show them such great respect.
After a brief meeting with Ye Zhi, the guests were accompanied by Shi Fan throughout their tour of Taoxun's various departments.
The guests were both curious and envious. It had been rumored online before that Taoxun's working conditions were very good, and only after their visit did they truly realize how good they were.
At noon, the guests had lunch at Taoxun's restaurant. Afterwards, Shi Fan led them to Taoxun's game department.
This was the highlight of the day. After touring the game department, Shi Fan directly led them to a room filled with computers.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Shi Fan said with a smile, "Taoxun Games is planning to launch a new game recently. This game has not yet been released. Would you be interested in trying it out?"
The crowd was very cooperative and found computers to sit down at.
