756 Get What You Want
After receiving the signal, Chen Liang held his breath and continued to probe, “This is pure gold with diamonds, right? It’s rare that the design is not tacky. It’s both simple and stylish and highlights elegance. A small tie clip is enough to show one’s taste. What brand is this? It must be hard to buy, right?”
Help! Was he crazy or was his CEO crazy? He had been by Ji Yan’s side since he entered the Ji Corporation at the age of 19. He had watched Ji Yan’s decisive and ruthless means at a young age. He was as calm as an old fox in the business world and easily stirred up the financial market of S City. Where was his talented and steady boss? Who was this childish person?
“Yes,” Only then did Ji Yan respond in a dignified manner and said casually, “My wife gave it to me. I’m not sure.” After saying that, he raised his hand and took the tablet.
Chen Liang felt suffocated. He came to work for a salary, so why did he have to witness his boss and his wife’s display of affection? Thinking of his high salary, he finally smiled and said, “You and the boss lady are really a match made in heaven!”
Ji Yan’s expression visibly softened, but compared to his good mood, Qiao Xi’s feelings were not so pleasant. She unknowingly held her breath and gritted her teeth. Her mouth reeked of blood as she ran as fast as she could. She only stopped when her legs went weak and she was completely out of the Ji family’s territory. The lack of oxygen caused her vision to turn black and her mind to be dizzy for a moment. She panted as she held onto the suitcase, tears falling down her face. She was in such a sorry state. She didn’t even need to look in the mirror to know how pathetic she was. She was crying like a dog, but what did she do wrong? She just fell in love with someone and couldn’t hide her feelings, so she wanted to say a few more words and make more memories.
Qiao Xi’s heart ached as if two invisible hands were tearing at it. Embarrassment, shame, inferiority, unwillingness, and the despair of not being able to see him again were all mixed together, making her heart ache. She looked at her yellow dress and suddenly broke down. She threw her luggage aside, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and cried out loud. What did she do wrong? What did she lack? Why was it that in her life, she was always retreating and always losing?
“Can crying solve the problem?” Just as Qiao Xi was bawling her eyes out, a mocking female voice rang out not far away. Qiao Xi froze and her muscles tensed up. She put on a vigilant posture and looked over with reddened eyes. She didn’t know when an expensive-looking car had stopped not too far away from her. The car window rolled down, revealing a beautiful and gentle face. However, the sarcasm and arrogance on her face made her face not as harmless as it looked.
Qiao Xi sharply sensed the other party’s disdain. She pursed her dry lips and only realized that her voice was hoarse when she opened her mouth. “You… Who are you?” Why did this woman come out and mock her for no reason? Even though the woman didn’t get out of the car, her exquisite makeup, the necklace around her neck, and the style of her whole body showed that she must be very rich. Why would such a high and mighty person pay attention to her?
“Qiao Xi, right?” Su Ling laughed. It was hard to tell if her eyes were filled with pity or disdain. She rolled down all the windows and looked down lazily. She leaned on the window and said in a condescending tone, “You’re really ugly and disgusting when you cry. The sour and stinky smell from your whole body is about to hit my nose.”
“Who are you?” Qiao Xi frowned, her teary eyes filled with anger. She wasn’t made of clay, and being humiliated like that made her feel embarrassed and angry. She couldn’t help but say, “What right do you have to say that about me?” Her tone was a little soft. She was clearly aware of the difference between herself and the person in front of her, so she didn’t even dare to fully express her anger.
“Am I not telling the truth?” Su Ling laughed nonchalantly and continued to look at Qiao Xi with an uncomfortable gaze. She smiled and asked, “Were you thrown out like trash? In the end, you were basically abandoned, right? Are you really willing to accept your fate? How are you worse than Shen Hanxing?”
Qiao Xi opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she wasn’t thrown out but that she wanted to move out. She wanted to say that she wasn’t abandoned and that she wanted to start a new life. However, Su Ling didn’t give her a chance to speak. She retracted her hand and sat back in the car. She only showed the side of her face and said casually, “Get in the car. I can help you get what you want.”
