The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

After a long and arduous journey, the treasure hunting team finally arrived near the signal base station.

The team members were all out of breath and exhausted, so they decided to take a short rest here.

Xu Yiyu slowly sat down on a stone, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and first opened the Yixin application to check if there were any new messages.

Just then, a cold mountain breeze blew, making her hair a little messy.

She took off the windproof cotton hat on her head and put it aside to prevent her voice from being drowned out by the whistling mountain breeze when she made the next phone call.

Xu Yiyu quickly browsed the messages in her inbox and found that in addition to Sanshi, the two special assistants sent by her Vice President Xie to assist her also sent her messages.

However, to her surprise, these messages had almost nothing to do with work and were mostly concerned about her personal safety.

One of them read: "Sister Yi Yu, how is the situation over there? Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Another said: "Chairman, I hope you are well and don't take any risks."

Seeing these caring words, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.

Despite being in a special environment, she felt warmed by the care of her colleagues.

Although my fiancé is usually low-key, his abilities are no joke. The fact that he successfully acquired the shares of Zhan and Liang is indeed something he can do with his ability.

But she was quite surprised that Zheng Qi and Wang Yu, who seldom contacted her, would send her Yixin messages.

Although they were all normal daily greetings, she keenly sensed that something was slightly amiss.

After the class reunion at Qiyun Holiday Hotel, she had been very busy and had never had time to fulfill the dinner plan she had agreed to have with them.

She knew that these two old classmates would not be angry about this, but Xu Yiyu had always prioritized this matter after work, and she really felt a little guilty towards them.

Moreover, her intuition told her that these two classmates contacted her at this time not just to reminisce about the past, but to tell her something important.

After replying to other people's messages, Xu Yiyu hesitated for a few seconds, stopped typing, quickly deleted the few lines he had just typed, and sent a voice message directly to Wang Yu.

Judging from the time when Wang Yu sent the Yixin message to him, it should have been around 12 noon but less than 1 o'clock in China. Now it was almost midnight in China. Calling her at this time might disturb her rest, and it was difficult to explain the specific situation in text, so Xu Yiyu simply compromised and sent a voice message directly.

Xiao Yuzi: [Sister Yu, I want to give you a bad review. We agreed to have dinner together next time but you haven’t shown up yet. Be careful or I’ll jump up and hit you on the knee! ]

Although the message Wang Yu sent was in her usual speaking style, many people nowadays discuss matters through their mobile phones. If it is not an important matter, most people would not choose to discuss it in person.

"...It seems that what Sister Yu wants to say is not a trivial matter."

Xu Yiyu was looking at the screen of his mobile phone and muttering to himself, a certain premonition in his heart becoming stronger and stronger.

Following Xu's own logic, she felt more and more that her previous intuition was correct.

Not surprised: [Sister Yu, I'm not in the country right now, I don't think you can succeed~]

Less than two minutes after Xu Yiyu sent the voice message to Wang Yu, while he was still typing and checking the work progress with Xie Yun, he saw a pop-up voice call from Wang Yu on Yixin.

After hurriedly saying "wait a moment" to Vice President Xie who usually stayed up late, Xu Yiyu cleared his throat, walked to a relatively sheltered position, and pressed the green answer button.

"Hello, Sister Yu, it's me."

"Your sister Yu is a little depressed now because she couldn't succeed. Sister Yu, how are you going to compensate me for the mental loss you caused me?"

I haven't contacted this old classmate for more than a month. Wang Yu's voice on the phone still sounds as carefree as before, as if he will never have any worries and is still full of energy.

Xu Yiyu's worries were not dispelled by Wang Yu's usual tone. Instead, he became even more worried about Wang Yu's true condition.

Although she also hoped that her previous intuition was wrong, there was always a voice in her head telling her that things were not as simple as she heard.

"How do you want to punish me, Sister Yu? How about I invite you and Lao Zheng to stay in the penthouse suite of Qiyun Holiday Hotel for a few days to relax, and eat as much as you want at Tianqiong's buffet, as my compensation. What do you think of the sincerity of my apology? Do you want to consider delaying the execution of the sanctions against me?"

Xu Yiyu pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and expressed his sincere apologies in a half-joking tone.

Wang Yu on the other end of the phone did not laugh and curse back as usual, but instead remained silent for a while, which was unusual.

At that moment, Xu Yiyu knew that his attempt to pretend to know nothing must have worked.

This carefree sister Yu during her student days must have some difficulties that she was unable to express but wanted to resolve quickly.

She understood why Wang Yu hesitated and didn't speak directly, and she had no intention of revealing it at all.

The friendship between her, Xu, Wang Yu and Zheng Qi has continued since high school. It has never been tainted by any human feelings or reality, and it will not make the relationship between the three of them become unequal.

What Wang Yu was worried about was probably that as long as she asked Xu for help, the pure friendship between them would slowly deteriorate because of this incident.

Wang Yu and Zheng Qi probably don't know that Xu Yiyu never minds giving the people around her a better life or more suitable opportunities within her ability. As long as that person is worthy of her doing so, she will not be stingy with her help.

Adults often consider the cruel and indifferent reality, but these people made Xu Yiyu feel the rare tenderness in high school, and she would never look at them from the selfish perspective of an adult.

Everyone will change to some extent after a dozen years, maybe for the better, or maybe to become more realistic. Xu Yiyu himself cannot say that he has not changed at all compared to himself in high school.

But just like she and Qiuqiu said, as long as it is a positive change, just embrace it generously and freely without feeling anxious or panic.

Xu Yiyu just waited quietly for Wang Yu to speak. Wang Yu's breathing rhythm on the other end of the phone changed many times in just a few dozen seconds. Finally, as if he had made some extremely difficult decision, he finally spoke with some caution.

"I'm afraid it won't be possible in the near future. Let's not talk about Old Zheng for now. The situation around me these days... I'm afraid it won't allow me to be so leisurely."

Xu Yiyu could hear the worry and melancholy in Wang Yu's tone, and since her old classmate finally decided to reveal some emotions that were unknown to outsiders, there was no need for her to continue playing dumb.

"Sister Yu, have you had any difficulties recently? You also know that I, Xu, have a small business now. If there is anything I can help you with, please don't keep it to yourself because you are afraid of owing me a favor! If you still treat me as an outsider at this time, I will really be angry!"

Fearing that Wang Yu would hesitate again, Xu Yiyu deliberately spoke more harshly. She knew that only by making her attitude clear would Wang Yu have fewer concerns.

"Sister Yu, please stop. I'm telling you. Don't be angry!"

Xu Yiyu's alternative "step" successfully forced Wang Yu to tell the truth, and also made Wang Yu's tone, which had just been pretended to be calm, become a little anxious.

The members of the treasure hunting team looked at Xu Yiyu with some curiosity, as she revealed a new side of herself. They were also somewhat curious about what had happened to her friends in her country that caused their leader to treat them with such a serious attitude.

Hearing Wang Yu relax, Xu Yiyu's mouth curled up slightly. He stopped urging him and waited patiently for Wang Yu to organize his words.

Although the contact with these high school classmates is not as frequent as that with Mu Xuan, the changes in their personalities and behaviors over the years were already apparent from that class reunion.

Xu Yiyu was very glad that these friends who had made friends with her at the beginning were all experiencing positive changes.
