After Ye Mingqian exited Huo Jili's ward with a sullen face, he couldn't hold on anymore. He covered his heart that was still beating wildly and gasped for air.
There was only one thought in my mind.
It's over.
Things were revealed.
She got into the car unsteadily, her hand holding the phone trembling a little, and she pulled out her newsletter and dialed Chi Yanchen's number.
But no one answered the call after several calls. Ye Mingqian threw away the phone in frustration and drove directly to the downstairs of Tengtian Building.
Fighting all the way to Chi Yanchen's office, he was nowhere to be seen inside.
"Where are the others?"
Ye Mingqian asked Secretary Zhong.
"Are you asking Mr. Chi?" Shocked by her momentum, Secretary Zhong hurriedly came from behind, "He is having a meeting up there."
Realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, she had no choice but to put away her anxiety and apologize to Secretary Zhong sheepishly: "I have something urgent, so I'll go to the meeting door and wait for Mr. Chi first."
Chi Yanchen was indeed in a meeting. Ye Mingqian sat on a bench outside and waited for more than half an hour before she saw a group of company executives filing out. She waited until the crowd was almost gone and stopped him at the end.
"how?"
Perhaps Chi Yanchen had just finished the meeting, and Chi Yanchen still had the unique majesty towards his subordinates. For a moment, she seemed to see him in the past.
Cold and inhumane.
"I'm afraid Huo Jili knows that the surveillance camera in the study has been replaced."
Ye Mingqian calmed down and spit out softly.
"Yeah." Chi Yanchen just nodded gently, "I know, just go back and rest if you have nothing to do."
She bit her lip gently, "Do you still want to keep me out of the plan?"
Chi Yanchen was silent for a few seconds before saying coldly:
"I don't want to expose you to danger."
"What happened to Wu Jing was just an accident. The day you fall out with Huo Jili, your life will be in danger. You and I are at loggerheads. Do you think I can stay out of it once you fall?"
Ye Mingqian straightened her back and looked up at him.
"Is Lu Xiaosi's incident an accident?" Chi Yanchen curled his lips and said in a calm voice, "Sometimes, your gender is a sign of weakness and a weakness."
"I don't like what you said." She frowned.
"It's not meant to be disparaging, on the contrary, I respect women very much." He wanted to touch the cigarette out of habit, but his hand reached into his trouser pocket, but it was empty. He had to slowly pull it out and wipe the sweat from her ears. , "Qianqian, you have an advantage in front of Huo Jili, but no matter how much you deny it, you can't open up the situation in H City without my help from behind."
Chi Yanchen paused, controlled his desire to pinch her earlobe, retracted his hand and continued:
"This has nothing to do with your ability, but with your status in the future. Huo Jili is letting you run up and down the sky just to see how fresh you are. When you really marry into the Huo family, you will become the second Mrs. Huo, just like my mother."
His eyes were deep and the ink was bottomless, "No matter how hard you struggle, you are just a canary with broken wings."
Chi Yanchen suddenly mentioned Chi Wanqing. Ye Mingqian was startled, lowered his eyes, and asked softly: "Isn't Mrs. Huo happy in the Huo family?"
He did not answer this question, but took steps forward, leaving only one sentence as he passed her: "I am doing this for your own good."
Is it good for me?
Ye Mingqian turned her back to Chi Yanchen and did not look back. She looked at the window at the end of the aisle on her left. The sky outside was covered with clouds, and it was so dark that it seemed like water could drip from it.
Just like her mood.
Terrible.
"Miss Ye."
Just as he was feeling low, Secretary Xu suddenly came out of the bathroom at the other end of the corridor. When he saw her, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "I heard that you were in danger, weren't you injured?"
"Who did you listen to?"
Alarm bells rang in Ye Mingqian's heart. Although the incident of Wu Jing's home invasion and robbery was a big deal, except for Chi Yanchen, Huo Jili, and Assistant Zhu, she didn't even tell Xu Yue. How did Secretary Xu know about it?
Chi Yanchen would definitely not gossip enough to tell a little secretary.
"Guess."
Secretary Xu pushed up his glasses, still looking elegant, but the eyes under the lenses were unpredictable.
"I still have to report to Mr. Chi. Miss Ye, please excuse me."
After he left, Ye Mingqian realized what he was doing and took out his cell phone to make frantic calls to Chi Yanchen.
[Is Secretary Xu yours? 】
Chi Yanchen: [No, but he is a neutral person and will not favor Huo Jili and me. 】
What kind of strange statement is this?
Ye Mingqian frowned and typed quickly: [Are you sure? How did he know I was injured? 】
Chi Yanchen quickly answered her questions.
[Xu Qiang used to study criminal investigation. 】
Secretary Xu, who has a gentle image as a university teacher, actually learned this? The sea water is really immeasurable, Ye Mingqian exclaimed, "Then how come he can be a little secretary in your Tengtian?"
[It’s hard to describe, but I trust him in Tengtian because he doesn’t favor Huo Jili. 】
【Hopefully. 】
She took the elevator back to the top floor and returned to her work station as if nothing had happened. As soon as she sat down, she saw Secretary Zhong opposite her peeking over at her from time to time.
"Is something wrong? Secretary Zhong."
After finally not knowing how many times it was, Ye Mingqian couldn't help but ask her.
Secretary Zhong looked constipated.
"Miss Shu is here."
When she heard that Shu Qiaoqiao came to see Chi Yanchen, she skillfully opened the computer and started processing the files that had been piled up for several days without even moving an eyebrow.
After turning two pages, Shu Qiaoqiao came out of Chi Yanchen's office, her eyes red as if she had cried.
"What are you looking at?"
Secretary Zhong scolded Secretary Zhong, glared at her fiercely, and then left bitterly.
Is this a quarrel?
Ye Ming raised her eyebrows slightly and looked into the office. Chi Yanchen did not chase him out, and she could not see where he was from her corner.
"Miss Shu comes here almost every day."
Secretary Zhong pointed to the cheek under the eyes, "I cry every day."
"The young couple is having a tantrum."
Ye Mingqian disagreed after hearing this. She understood that it was Chi Yanchen who had restored his previous attitude towards Shu Qiaoqiao, and she came to Tengtian every day because of the gap.
It would be great if this man, Chi Yanchen, was really so easy to control. It was only two days ago that he had a heart-to-heart relationship with him that broke through the unexplained window. I didn't see any change in his attitude towards her.
She didn't want to get involved in the matter between Shu Qiaoqiao and Chi Yanchen, and she had already thought of her way out.
Since both she and Shu Qiaoqiao wanted to marry into the Huo family, the day Huo Jili fell was the day she left the Huo family.
But Shu Qiaoqiao was different from her. The Shu family, which had separate interests with the Huo family, acted as a strong shield, and Chi Yanchen could not easily separate from her.
“It’s come full circle and we’re back to square one.”
So was it a dead end between her and Chi Yanchen from the beginning?
Ye Mingqian stared at the computer, his thoughts racing wildly.
