"I agree to this deal."
After some ideological struggle, Chi Yanchen signed the agreement. He closed his eyes, filled with guilt for Ye Mingqian.
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Shu Qiaoqiao was overjoyed.
Finally, on the fourth day, the Huo scandal, which had dominated the rankings for three days, was replaced by other headlines.
[The prince of H City and the daughter of the Shu family are married, and a luxurious banquet will be held at the largest hotel in the city. 】
The article wrote a lot about Chi Yanchen's mental control by Huo Jili since childhood, and the huge harm caused to him by the death of his biological mother Chi Wanqing.
He appeared in the eyes of netizens as a victim, earning a wave of tears and hundreds of thousands more curses against Huo Jili.
The focus was naturally his wedding to Shu Qiaoqiao. A quarter of the page was used to introduce this wedding of the century, including the time, location and attendees.
"The golden boy and the beautiful girl are made for each other."
Ye Mingqian's hand holding the magazine was trembling slightly. She was reading the praises of the couple in the magazine, and for a moment she felt that she was the biggest joke in the world.
"Ye Mingqian, this is the man you were thinking about before you died."
Her tears flowed down uncontrollably.
She drifted at sea for three days before being pushed onto the beach by the low tide. She was penniless, had no documents and no mobile phone, and relied on seaweed to satisfy her hunger. She walked like this for a day and night before returning to H City.
If an old woman hadn't given her a bowl of leftover rice because she felt sorry for her, she would have died on the way to H City on her first step.
What Ye Mingqian didn't expect was that she relied on her will to see Chi Yanchen and came to the downstairs of Tengtian Building. The employees who were coming in and out were all holding a magazine, and they picked up a magazine that others had dropped on the ground. , the picture of Chi Yanchen and Shu Qiaoqiao embracing each other on the cover came into view.
She fell to the ground as if all her strength had been drained from her.
No one coming and going paid attention to a dirty woman covered in white dust.
Yes, her whole body is covered with white salt after the evaporation of sea water. Isn’t it just ashes in their eyes?
Cinderella?
Ye Mingqian curled up her body mockingly. The soles of her feet were covered with wounds, and the places she stepped on were stained with blood. She was so numb that she pretended not to see them.
Cinderella at least had a pair of glass slippers, but all she had on her feet was a pair of ill-fitting rag shoes picked up from the trash can.
You have nothing.
She stood up unsteadily and looked up at the top floor of Tengtian Building, where Chi Yanchen's office was.
"Ye Mingqian, I wish you and Shu Qiaoqiao a happy marriage."
Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Mingqian left decisively.
In the place where she had just stayed, Secretary Zhong looked doubtfully in the direction she left.
"Why are you in a daze, Secretary Zhong, is Mr. Chi angry again today?"
A colleague passed by after get off work and touched Secretary Zhong’s shoulder.
People who heard about the project said that a cup was smashed, which had never happened before. The prince had always been a noble person and rarely spoke, let alone breaking things.
"I think I saw a familiar person."
Secretary Zhong raised his eyebrows and felt that he had seen it wrong, "It just looks like it, but it's definitely not the case."
Ye Mingqian has always been decent and elegant, how could he be so downcast.
"Let's go. Our future CEO's wife has specified that all our employees should attend the wedding tomorrow. Without Ye Mingqian, no one will dare to say anything to the CEO's wife in the future."
The colleague shook his head and walked away.
Secretary Zhong bit her lip, but the terrifying look on Chi Yanchen's face before get off work appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it now.
"Ye Mingqian is dead. He was photographed falling into the sea with Qin Luoying. They haven't been seen for so many days. When the tide rose that day, they would definitely die."
Shu Qiaoqiao put a few photos on the table, "For the Huo Group, you can no longer hesitate. Tomorrow is the wedding, and I hope you can attend."
She happened to hear this when she went in. When she saw the scene in the photo of Ye Mingqian falling into the sea, she turned pale with fright.
Then Mr. Chi got very angry and smashed everything in the office. That was a side of Chi Yanchen that she had never seen before.
Secretary Zhong sighed and left the gate of Tengtian Building.
Top floor of Tengtian Building
Chi Yanchen sat in the mess on the ground, crushed the photo of Ye Mingqian falling into the sea into his palm, and punched it on the ground.
"If I can't see the body, I won't give up and keep looking."
He tore the photo into pieces and threw them into the air. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtain. When he lit a cigarette, he looked up. He seemed to see Ye Mingqian's figure in the corner of his eye. When he looked at it again, it was gone.
"I'm already hallucinating."
Chi Yanchen fell back on his chair and hid himself in the darkness.
Ye Mingqian dragged her weak body up and down the street, and unknowingly arrived at the door of Xu Yue's shop.
"welcome."
The sensor bell on the door rings automatically.
"Sorry, I'm getting ready to get off work. Please come back tomorrow."
Xu Yue packed up her tools and raised her head to meet a pair of familiar eyes.
"Are you?" She stared at the woman in front of her, whose clothes were stained with dust and whose hair was knotted, covering most of her face. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she became.
"Qianqian?"
Xu Yue spoke tentatively.
"Um."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Mingqian was hugged by Xu Yue.
"Where the hell have you gone? Do you know how worried I am about you? I heard that something happened to the Huo family but there was no whereabouts of you. I looked for Chi Yanchen many times, but I didn't even see his face. , how did you become like this? Is what is said in the news true? Is Mr. Huo really that human-like and animal-like? Were you locked up and abused by him? "
Being hugged tightly by her friend, with her worried words filling her ears, Ye Mingqian's cold and numb heart gradually began to beat.
"I'm fine."
She sniffed.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Xu Yue couldn't tolerate Ye Mingqian's refusal and took her home. First she took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Then she went to the kitchen to cook noodles and specially broke two eggs to lie on them.
"Eat slowly and be careful when it's hot."
Ye Mingqian buried her head in the bowl, crying while eating.
"Suffering such a heavy punishment." Seeing her like this, Xu Yue also secretly wiped away her tears, "I know your father is not at ease. Where is he going to enjoy happiness? Is it easy for everyone to get into the high school? A rotten person without a heart, I Pooh."
She didn't know who she was scolding until the end, maybe she scolded them all.
"Chi Yanchen is not a good person either. The old one is bad and the young one is scum."
"Yeah, he's a scumbag."
Hearing this name, Ye Mingqian immediately put down his chopsticks indifferently.
"It's so bad. He didn't even see me. He went to Tengtian Building several times and was turned away." Xu Yue didn't notice that his friend's bad mood was because of Chi Yanchen, and continued to clear away the dishes while complaining.
"Huo Jili has already gone in, what are your plans for the future?" She washed the dishes and sat down opposite her friend. "Fortunately, your engagement has not been made public yet, and few media have mentioned you."
"Isn't this great?"
Now it's Chi Yanchen and Shu Qiaoqiao, who still remembers her, Ye Mingqian?
