Ever since Qiao Yaruan had known about Shui Anluo background, she would be at a loss on how to console her friend whenever the Shui family was brought up in a conversation.
The two casually said a few other words before ending the call to rest.
Shui Anluo kept staring at the phone in her hand after the call. She wanted to ask for the audio recording pen back and wondered if Chu Ningyi was finished with whatever he wanted to do.
Aside from the little darling’s gurgling noises, the atmosphere around the breakfast table was oppressively quiet.
Shui Anluo wanted to bring up the matter concerning the audio recording pen but Chu Ningyi’s expression was so dark that he could be mistaken for Bao Zheng’s brother.
“Spit it out.”
Chu Ningyi suddenly spoke and caused Shui Anluo’s small body to tremble slightly. No matter how she tried to interpret it, she felt as though he was saying that she should say what she wants but she should prepare to walk into her grave once she does.
“Feng Feng and Yaruan are staying together.”
After Shui Anluo had spoken, she dearly wished that she could slap herself to death. This was not what she had wanted to say. This was not what she had wanted to say!
Chu Ningyi heard what sounded almost like a howl from Shui Anluo but he only looked at her calmly as if to ask whether that was all she had to say.
Shui Anluo was already feeling vexed with herself for not stating the crucial point but when she thought about how this was a problem that she wanted to talk about as well, she continued the topic. “Is Feng Feng very poor? Why must he co-rent with Yaruan?”
“Feng Feng gets an advance of ten million for starring in one movie, do you think that he’d be poor?” Chu Ningyi scoffed coldly.
“Why must he co-rent with Yaruan then?” Shui Anluo felt even more confused. “Has he fallen in love with Yaruan at first sight?”
Chu Ningyi threw her a look as if he were staring at an idiot and continued to eat.
“Or is it because I’ve crossed him so he wants to take it out on my friend?” The more Shui Anluo thought about it, the more plausible this sounded. Hence, she quickly said, “Chu Ningyi, you must tell Feng Feng that he can’t touch my friend.”
“I must?” Chu Ningyi coolly repeated those words. Was this person still able to order him around? Where did this girl find the courage to say these words? “Shui Anluo, who are you to me? What gave you the right to think you can order me around?”
“I…” Shui Anluo trembled to her very bones over his icy tone and was rendered speechless for a long while. Chairman Chu could switch personalities just like that. Sometimes, he would flirt with her so much that she would not be able to take it but other times he would try to freeze her to death.
“Shui Anluo, my attitude toward you has always been determined by you.” Chu Ningyi seems to know what she was thinking and he sounded even icier the more he spoke. He put his chopsticks down before he turned his wheelchair around and left.
‘My attitude toward you has always been determined by you.’
That sentence landed on her heart without a single word left out.
Shui Anluo looked down at her son who was holding a toy with one hand and waving the other around. In the end, she knocked her head on the table. What was she going to do?
Shui Anluo carried a stomach full of questions and headed to the hospital in confusion. She was then dragged by Qiao Yaruan to see an announcement.
The announcement clearly stated how the previous incident had been handled and proof of Shui Anluo’s innocence.
“See, Chairman Chu is still quite nice to you. This way, your innocence is clear.” Qiao Yaruan held Shui Anluo and said, “Are you really not going to consider his intention to court you?”
Shui Anluo looked at Qiao Yaruan and followed her back to the office “Did I tell you that Chu Ningyi is acquiring Soaring Distance Technologies?”
“He’s acquiring Soaring Distance Technologies? The company that your grandfather had founded?” Qiao Yaruan asked curiously.
“That’s right. Even though I’ve been chased out, I still have thirty percent shares in the company. Do you know…”
