Ling Chuxia abruptly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed those images flashing through her mind. Her voice was dry and ice-cold, "Xinxin, don’t ask anything, okay?"
"I and Shi Che are over." She paused, then laughed mockingly, "No, we never started, nor ended. We’ve simply returned to our respective places, back to the very beginning."
Ling Chuxia said this last sentence in a voice so low, almost a murmur, that Ji Xinxin could hardly hear it. All she could sense was the calm despair in Ling Chuxia’s words, and her own heart couldn’t help but tighten.
Although she really wanted to know what had happened, since Ling Chuxia didn’t want to talk, it was not right for her to press for answers at this time. She could only say, "Okay, I’ll contact a lawyer for you, Xiaxia. No matter what happens, you must remember you still have me. Whatever decisions you make, I will support you."
A glimmer of tears appeared in Ling Chuxia’s eyes, and her voice grew even lower, unintentionally choked with emotion, "Xinxin, thank you."
When Shen Qian rushed to the apartment, Xiao Zhao was already anxiously pacing like an ant on a hot pan.
As soon as Shen Qian entered the apartment, Xiao Zhao lit up as if he’d seen the Lord himself and immediately pounced on him, "Young Master Shen, you’ve finally arrived!"
Shen Qian was suddenly engulfed in Xiao Zhao’s bear hug, stumbling back a couple of steps until he hit the wall, as if he had been ’wall-slammed’. His handsome face immediately turned green, and his voice dropped sharply, "Give you one second to get off me!"
Xiao Zhao then realized that his excitement had been excessive, and quickly let go of Shen Qian, stepping back several paces to maintain a safe distance.
Shen Qian dusted off his clothes disdainfully, then lifted his gaze and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"I’m not entirely sure, but last night President Shi drank himself into a stupor, and when he woke up, he continued to drink, refusing to listen to any persuasion. He’s got a headache sickness, and if he keeps drinking , even an iron body can’t hold up!"
Shen Qian’s brows furrowed, "Last night? Wasn’t he supposed to meet with Xiaxia last night?"
He had called yesterday at noon to invite him out to Four Seasons, but he was turned down because he had an important date. Shen Qian even teased him about choosing love over friendship. How could he end up drinking himself into a stupor alone?
"Yes, President Shi even specifically cleared all his engagements yesterday, asking me to book a restaurant. When he left the company, he was all smiles. I don’t know what happened after that, but President Shi was drunk, and Young Madam... was in a car accident."
"Xiaxia was in a car accident?"
Xiao Zhao nodded, "This morning, President Shi called Sister Hua to ask her to take care of Young Madam, but he himself didn’t go and has been drinking in his room instead. I think there might be some problems between President Shi and Young Madam again. Their relationship has been cold for three years, and President Shi has never really been happy. It’s only these days, with their relationship easing a little, that he’s shown some smiles. Yesterday all was good, but today, I don’t know why it’s turned out ."
Xiao Zhao, speaking, couldn’t help but sigh.
He looked up at Shen Qian with a hint of hope in his eyes, "Young Master Shen, you have a good relationship with President Shi. Please help to talk some sense into him."
