Chapter 199: Chapter 199 It seems that the affection between you is just so-so
Xiao Yu, as the male protagonist of the novel, indeed possessed extraordinary capabilities.
After losing the cooperation of President Wang and the Su Family, he found another company’s president to discuss a partnership.
Knowing that the president was resting at the resort, Xiao Yu specially took a taxi to et him.
Luckily, their conversation went very smoothly, and within less than an hour, they had signed a contract.
Xiao Yu looked at the contract with the signed nas, and a smile finally appeared on his stern face.
“It’s raining outside, and it might be hard to get a taxi now. How about I have my driver give you a ride?” the man said.
...
“It’s fine, I can just wait here for the rain to stop,” Xiao Yu declined his offer.
The man didn’t insist on sending him with the driver, “I have other things to do next, so I’ll head back to my room. Let’s stay in touch by phone.”
“Alright, goodbye, President Li,” Xiao Yu nodded and watched as the man entered the elevator.
Just as he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of Ji Yuqiao out of the corner of his eye.
His expression imperceptibly froze for a mont, then he indifferently averted his gaze.
Xiao Yu put the contract into his backpack and was about to head outside when Ji Yuqiao caught up with him.
“Xiao Yu!” she grabbed his arm, her voice urgent, “Why haven’t you replied to my ssages these past few days? I’ve already given you the docunts. What did Wen Li say?”
“What docunts? Who is Wen Li? I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Xiao Yu said coolly, shaking off her hand.
Ji Yuqiao’s expression froze for a mont, and she numbly said, “Didn’t you say, as long as I gave you the core technology docunts from Ji’s, you would get Wen Li to destroy all the evidence?”
“Evidence? What evidence?” Xiao Yu scoffed as if he had heard a joke, his tone tinged with scorn, “How can you be so naive, believing whatever others tell you?”
“That statent was just to deceive you. Who knew you would actually believe it so easily, even going as far as to steal the docunts.”
Ji Yuqiao’s head buzzed, her mind suddenly blank, and she felt as if she had been frozen in that mont, unable to move.
Her voice turned hoarse, “You’re deceiving ?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yu sneered.
“What about the docunts I gave you?”
“I’ve already handed them to a competing company of Ji’s. Guess how long it will take them to bring down Ji’s?”
Ji Yuqiao opened her mouth silently, her throat seeming choked, unable to utter a single word.
Her eyes reddened, brimming with tears that slid down her cheeks to the ground.
Xiao Yu’s eyes flickered with a hint of mockery, just as he was about to turn and leave, soone rapidly approached and shielded Ji Yuqiao behind them.
Lin Xu, wiping her tears with a tissue, asked, “Why are you crying? Did he bully you?”
Ji Yuqiao sobbed quietly, unwilling to speak a word.
Ji Tingyang’s eyes dark and sharp as a blade, glared at Xiao Yu, “What did you do?”
With no hint of fear, Xiao Yu t his gaze, “What do you think?”
Ji Tingyang, not in the mood for riddles, turned to the nearby waiter, “Check the surveillance here. If there’s any inappropriate behavior captured, call the police imdiately.”
Xiao Yu laughed, “President Ji really cares a lot about his little sister, just unsure if this sister cares as much about you.”
Upon hearing his words, Ji Yuqiao’s heart felt as though it was being squeezed, painfully and fearfully looking at Xiao Yu.
Ji Tingyang gave him a contemptuous glance, his face showing disdain from a position of superiority.
Inside, a dark vine in Xiao Yu’s heart wildly grew, eager to disrupt his composed facade, “Ji Yuqiao gave a docunt, do you know what it was?”
“Xiao Yu!” Ji Yuqiao called out to him frantically.
“It’s the core technology of Ji’s new energy.” Xiao Yu said slowly, his lifted lips sneering, “The sister you’ve been protecting has been stealing your company’s docunts for . As it seems now, the sibling love between you isn’t much at all.”
Ji Tingyang was stunned for a mont, then turned to look at Ji Yuqiao.
And Lin Xu was just as shocked as she stared at her.
Ji Yuqiao heard a buzzing in her ears, and suddenly all other sounds disappeared.
Ji Tingyang and Lin Xu were saying sothing to her, but she couldn’t hear any of it.
Her thoughts were drained. Her body stiffened, rooted to the spot, she opened her mouth, lost her voice, and the thousand words she wanted to explain couldn’t co out.
By the ti Ji Yuqiao ca to her senses, she had already unconsciously rushed out of the hotel.
Rain and tears mixed together, blurring her eyes.
She ran aimlessly, in a ss, not daring to look back, afraid to et her elder brother’s gaze, nor daring to hear their accusations against her.
Not knowing where she had run, her foot slipped, and she instantly lost her balance, falling to the side.
Just then, a hand grabbed her.
However, it couldn’t pull her back from the edge of the slope, and the two of them rolled down together for several ters.
Her head was spinning.
After a long while, Ji Yuqiao finally ca to, pain spreading from her foot to her whole body; she held her ankle, her face deathly pale.
Lin Xu propped herself up and asked anxiously, “Did you twist your foot? Let help you back.”
Lin Xu reached out both hands, just about to help her up, but Ji Yuqiao dodged away.
“I’m not going back,” she sobbed, looking down, “I did wrong, my brother must hate now… ”
When she used to stubbornly pursue Xiao Yu, her brother used to get so angry.
But even then, even when he was angry, he still worried about whether she was comfortable in the dormitory, whether she had enough pocket money.
Before, she could say her brother was just a tough-talker with a soft heart, but now, he probably was really disappointed in her.
Perhaps Lin Xu didn’t like her anymore either.
Ji Yuqiao’s eyes were red and swollen, her chest heaving dramatically, crying breathlessly, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have stolen my brother’s docunts… It was Xiao Yu who fooled , wanting to get my brother thrown in jail.”
“Before I gave the docunts to Xiao Yu, I got scared and secretly replaced them with sothing else… I’m sorry, can you not hate , please?”
Lin Xu paused for a mont, then smiled wryly.
In fact, she had been paying attention to Ji Yuqiao’s movents all along, worried that Ji Yuqiao would be deceived by Xiao Yu into doing sothing irreversible.
As early as the first ti Ji Yuqiao entered the study, Lin Xu had advised Ji Tingyang to secure important docunts.
Therefore, anything Ji Yuqiao could get her hands on was insignificant.
But she hadn’t expected Ji Yuqiao to actually switch the docunts too.
“I will never hate anyone from Lanyue, and neither will your brother. How could he possibly bear to hate you?” Lin Xu soothed her cheek.
Ji Yuqiao threw herself into Lin Xu’s arms, sobbing loudly, “Wuuu… I’m sorry… ”
“Mom, I’m sorry, I won’t ever trust Xiao Yu again…”
Lin Xu stroked her back, then froze for a mont, “What did you just call ?”
