Perhaps because Xie Zhuzhou felt that changing his clothes made him a different person, he wasn't embarrassed at all, since no one would recognize him later anyway.
"Let's go, let's set off." Xie Zhuzhou's attire was a bit out of place in the library, but fortunately, no one recognized him for the time being.
Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang both wore masks and walked into the library's coffee corner together.
The coffee corner is a place where you can talk at a normal volume, because it's not inside the library, but rather a spacious corner at the end of the corridor, with a view of the flowers and plants outside through a glass window.
Xie Zhuzhou walked straight to the coffee corner, where a sophisticated-looking woman in a dark trench coat and sunglasses was already sitting.
" Mr. Xie, I've long admired your name." The woman smiled slightly, her gaze subtly shifting from Xie Zhuzhou's ear behind her sunglasses.
She looked at Chu Yanzhang, her tone seemingly probing. "And who is this?"
"He's my boyfriend," Xie Zhuzhou introduced Chu Yanzhang calmly, while subtly observing the woman's reaction.
Chu Yanzhang nodded slightly in acknowledgment and silently sat down beside Xie Zhuzhou.
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.
Xie Guanxia has already reviewed everyone Xie Zhuzhou has recently come into contact with, and she must eliminate any potential threats.
She could easily find out what she wanted to know, and thus she also learned that Chu Yanzhang was actually the person in charge of the Divine Sea Group.
Divine Sea is gradually gaining financial strength and value comparable to Aurora Future, and its future is immeasurable. Therefore, Chu Yanzhang's strength should not be underestimated.
"Hello, Mr. Chu." Xie Guanxia smiled slightly, without making any other unnecessary movements. Having received a definite answer, she no longer had any doubts about Xie Zhuzhou.
But... isn't her son changing a little too fast?
Or is it because you have a boyfriend that you're starting to try different styles?
When Xie Zhuzhou's blue hair appeared, Xie Guanxia almost didn't recognize him.
"Madam, let's get straight to the point without any pleasantries."
"Please tell me, why are you following me? What is your purpose?" Xie Zhuzhou didn't know why, but after seeing this woman, he felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her.
Of course, he didn't forget the purpose of his visit, which was simply curiosity.
Xie Guanxia rested her chin on her hand, observing her son whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Faced with her son's innocent question, she really didn't know what to say first.
There's no particular reason, I just missed you and wanted to come see you.
Chu Yanzhang turned to look at Xie Zhuzhou.
Xie Zhuzhou: "!"
Xie Zhuzhou felt wronged after being given a resentful look by Chu Yanzhang, and thought to himself, "What nonsense is that guy talking about!"
"I don't think we know each other. Saying that could easily lead to misunderstandings."
Xie Guanxia nodded, glanced at his watch, and decided that he shouldn't be exposed to the elements for too long.
Her tone was similar to Xie Zhuzhou's, habitually carrying a carefree air, "We know each other. We've known each other since you were very young."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Wait, what's this lady doing? Didn't she see the look in his Little Yan's eyes?
I'll have to coax her when I get back.
Xie Zhuzhou glanced around and, seeing that no one recognized him, continued in a calm tone, "Stop beating around the bush, who exactly are you?"
"I am your mother."
Xie Zhuzhou looked at her speechlessly, "You can talk, but why are you swearing? Don't think I'll give in to you just because you're a girl."
Xie Guanxia chuckled upon hearing this. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it. What I meant was, I'm your mother, and like you, I share the surname Xie. Do you understand now?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou took a long time to react, then he looked at Xie Guanxia suspiciously. "Are you still asleep?"
Why am I still not fully awake?
"In short, my mother wouldn't do that. Although I don't remember clearly, she wouldn't play games with people like you do." If the person in front of him really was Xie Guanxia, Xie Zhuzhou didn't know how to face him.
"There's no way I can show up here, so we'll just have to play hide-and-seek."
"Didn't you start a family abroad? What's the point of you coming back to China this time?" Xie Zhuzhou's eyes were calm. If the original owner of this body were here, she might have some emotional fluctuations.
But he wasn't the original owner of this body.
There's no emotional fluctuation involved.
"Starting a family was my excuse for working away from home; I can't say the real reason right now. You ask me what's the point of coming back? It's to see you."
Even though Xie Guanxia had a very open-minded view of life, she still felt a touch of loneliness when she met Xie Zhuzhou's indifferent gaze.
"You have your own life, you have your own reasons, no need to explain." Xie Zhuzhou noticed her frequently checking her watch, yet she pretended to be nonchalant.
There must be some unspeakable reason behind it.
He slowly stood up and smiled, "Let's leave it at that for today. You can go and do what you need to do."
The faint smile on Xie Guanxia's lips disappeared as Xie Zhuzhou left.
It would be a lie to say I'm not sad.
She hadn't been unaware of this situation, and it was normal for her son to hate her, but hearing Xie Zhuzhou's last two sentences still made her sad.
She pulled a toy she had made herself from her coat pocket, but ultimately couldn't give it to him. Her son had grown up and no longer needed those things he had never received.
But it's okay if her son doesn't want the gift she gave him.
Should I deliver it tonight, or tomorrow?

Chu Yanzhang was pulled to the parking lot by Xie Zhuzhou. After getting into the car, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. " Zhouzhou, you're leaving like this. Aren't you sad...? You must have a lot of things you want to ask her, right?"
Xie Zhuzhou quickly fastened his seatbelt, and then fastened his own.
The car started, Xie Zhuzhou didn't stop at all. Many thoughts were running through his mind. If he had known Xie Guanxia would be here today, he wouldn't have worn any high-street clothes, and he certainly wouldn't have gotten a blue haircut!
Also, he's not good at dealing with this type of mother. It's strange that he reconciled with her right away after so many years apart from the original owner.
The original owner only allowed him to meet his father Ji Wuqiu, but didn't mention his mother at all. What else could he do?
When faced with a problem, the best course of action is to procrastinate.
Moreover, he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Xie Guanxia. It wasn't that the danger was directed at him, but rather that his intuition told him he had to leave Xie Guanxia's side immediately.
The car drove out of the quiet neighborhood and merged into the main avenue of City A. Xie Zhuzhou, having regained his composure, said calmly to conceal that he hadn't fled in panic, "Who knows if she's really Xie Guanxia?"
Chu Yanzhang nodded. " Zhouzhou, you're sweating."
Xie Zhuzhou: "... In short, I need to confirm with my father before I can know if it's her."
