857 I Can’t Keep You
She had neglected Shen Hanxing’s ability, intelligence, strength, and charisma. Even her superficial appearance was no match for Shen Hanxing. Qiao Xi had lost completely. Not only had she lost Ji Yan’s love, but she had also lost to her own uselessness. She had always been the girl who had escaped from the mountains, penniless, and had nothing to offer.
It was ridiculous that she had once seen the moon up close and felt that she could pluck the stars with her bare hands. Qiao Xi hugged her knees and whimpered like a little beast.
“What you have done has already constituted a crime.” Shen Hanxing looked down at Qiao Xi and said coldly, “Since you’ve helped me before, I won’t hold it against you. You can leave now. We can’t keep you in the foundation and I can’t keep a person with wild ambitions by my side. ”
In fact, Shen Hanxing was not as calm as she appeared to be. She had once taken Qiao Xi close to her side and sincerely cared about her. She was also truly grateful for Qiao Xi’s help and felt sorry for her experience. Unfortunately, not everyone in this world was worthy of the sincerity and kindness of others.
Shen Hanxing felt a little tired. At this moment, a warm palm wrapped around her hand. Ji Yan squeezed Shen Hanxing’s hand and looked at her with concern.
Shen Hanxing’s heart was filled with warmth. She forced a smile and gave Ji Yan a comforting smile.
Hearing Shen Hanxing’s words, Qiao Xi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her expression turned very ugly. Did Shen Hanxing not want her anymore? She was not allowed to show up again in the future. She was not allowed to continue working at the Golden Foundation. Was that what Shen Hanxing meant? Qiao Xi had chosen this path, but when she heard the verdict, she felt like her world had collapsed. What else could she do if she wasn’t at the Golden Foundation? Was she going to continue working as a waitress at nightclubs? She would be groped by customers and live a hopeless life, right?
Qiao Xi panicked and tried to grab Shen Hanxing’s clothes. “Mrs. Ji, I know I was wrong. Don’t treat me like this. Don’t kick me out of the Golden Foundation. Mrs. Ji, I beg you…”
“Get lost!” With a bang, Ji Yan raised his leg with a cold expression and kicked Qiao Xi to the ground. His eyes were filled with disgust. “Don’t you understand what she said? Get lost and don’t appear in front of her again.”
The man she once admired looked at her with undisguised disdain. Qiao Xi could no longer care about her shame. She knew that once she left, she would lose her future that was originally filled with light and hope. She cried bitterly and begged humbly, “I was wrong. I ‘m really sorry. Please, Mrs. Ji, I won’t dare to covet President Ji anymore. Please, let me stay…”

“Madam is soft-hearted, but I don’t mind being ruthless.” Hearing Qiao Xi’s ear-piercing voice, Ji Yan frowned slightly and narrowed his long eyes, revealing a hint of danger. “If you’re not happy with Madam’s arrangement, then have a taste of my methods. It will be too late for you to regret then.”
Qiao Xi shivered. Devil. This man was the real devil. He had shed his cold and noble skin. He was not as gentle as he was in front of Shen Hanxing, nor was he as aloof as he usually was. At this moment, he was filled with a murderous aura like a demon king. Qiao Xi was so scared that her legs went weak. She did not dare to continue begging.
“I… I’ll get lost now.” Qiao Xi didn’t dare to say another word. An extreme chill rose in her heart. What gave her the illusion that she could conquer a beast like Ji Yan? He clearly had the most dangerous and bloodthirsty claws. He might kill someone one day. Qiao Xi was completely afraid. She stood up shakily and did not dare to stay any longer. She staggered and ran away.
Looking at Qiao Xi’s sorry state, Shen Hanxing’s eyes did not show the slightest smile. “Sometimes, I wonder if it’s my fault.” She muttered softly, not knowing if she was talking to herself or asking someone else, “If I hadn’t brought Qiao Xi into this circle and let her see the wider world, perhaps she wouldn’t have such ambitions.” Perhaps she wouldn’t have become a completely different person and become a slave to her desires. She would have worked hard to survive in her original world with good intentions in her heart. Although life was difficult, it was also sincere.
