“I heard that Qin Chu has a girlfriend?” Ji Heng Yu’s lips curled up without a trace of warmth.
The sharp eyes flickered slightly as if he thought of something. He calculated the range where the sound could be heard properly for his subsequent words and deliberately lowered his voice.
“It is apparent that I should recommend an eye doctor to Qin Chu as his good friend?”
“If Qin Chu really can’t even recognise dogs or cats and is blind, I think I should also reconsider the cooperation with Shangcheng in the future.”
His gaze was as cold as winter. Qi Yan’s face was in pain as if a cold wind had scraped her face.
“You’re merely a plaything. Don’t place so much importance on yourself.”
The man spoke with indifference. He said these words and left. However, the comments directed at the involved party made her feel like she had fallen into the ice lake.
Her eyes were out of focus for a moment. Fear appeared on her face. Her face turned blue and white as she bit her lips tightly.
It was utterly embarrassing.
Just when the other people looked at Ji Heng Yu’s back and were about to let out a sigh of relief, they saw the smiling Executive Assistant Zhang approaching them.
Executive Assistant Zhang habitually pushed his glasses and spoke affectedly, “Our Chairman Ji is still very approachable. I hope that you do not chew in private. In particular, certain people shouldn’t accidentally ‘ offend’ our Chairman Ji.”
He deliberately emphasised the word, making one’s heart and mind suddenly stop for a moment, and the core of their soul couldn’t help but shiver.
(Whimper) Mummy, the society outside is so scary.
They were so frightened that they nodded their hands repeatedly to assure that they wouldn’t do that.
On the other side, Xiang Yi Mo had just sat down when she returned to her desk. The Love Value +10 echoed in her head.
Xiang Yi Mo: !!!
She was so surprised that she almost bounced up from her chair.
She thought that the Love Value would turn negative when she touched the gynophobic Ji Heng Yu. Thank goodness.
But she didn’t expect that it wouldn’t drop and increase instead?
Maybe… She is a genius too!
Xiao Qi, who inadvertently heard this: ….
Xiao Qi expressionlessly posted a post on the God’s World Forum: #My current host is a narcissistic fool, what should I do?#
I’m waiting online! It’s urgent!
As Xiang Yi Mo was deliberately planning her next move, Ji Heng Yu had been sitting in the President’s office with Qin Chu for a while. They discussed business and private matters.
Ji Heng Yu’s eyes darkened slightly as he mentioned Xiang Yi Mo. “I just saw Mo Mo in the lobby.”
“Mo Mo?” Qin Chu’s eyebrows twitched. “She came to Shangcheng today?”
Ji Heng Yu chuckled. “Why do you sound as if it’s very unexpected? I thought Mo Mo is doing an internship in your company?”
The man laughed helplessly and sighed. “That’s true. But Heng Yu, you also know, right, as I said before, Mo Mo has changed a lot. Also, the other day, she….”
Qin Chu slowly narrated the past events.
The more he heard about it, the tighter Ji Heng Yu’s brows knitted. Should he really take this guy, Qin Chu, to see an ophthalmologist?
“Qin Chu, how many years have you and Mo Mo known each other?”
“Probably sixteen years? Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Ji Heng Yu opened his mouth and was about to remind Qin Chu that Qi Yan was not as virtuous as how he described. He wanted to tell what happened in the lobby and speak on behalf of Xiang Yi Mo.
However, for some reason, he suddenly didn’t want to remind Qin Chu when the many words were just around his lips.
An inexplicable feeling drove him to stop speaking.
In the end, he only let out a meaningful sigh.
“Sixteen years? That’s so long….”
So Qin Chu, why do you prefer to believe a woman you have known for less than a year rather than trust the little girl you have known for sixteen years and someone you know very well and has doted on her since she was a child?
