Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Stood Him Up Again
After Ella left ho, she didn’t go back to the company.
The call she received at ho was actually from Shao Chuan.
Just half an hour ago, Shao Chuan noticed her brother’s hand moved slightly.
This was sothing that hadn’t happened in the past five years.
She originally intended to tell her parents about it, but fearing their disappointnt, she decided to keep it secret, using an excuse to go out instead.
By the ti she arrived at the hospital, forty minutes had passed.
She gasped for breath and pushed the door open.
In the ward, only Shao Chuan was keeping watch.
“How is it going?”
She rushed over to the hospital bed in two quick steps.
Shao Chuan looked at her and said, “The doctors have already checked, but they didn’t find anything.”
Ella furrowed her brow, “Didn’t you say you saw my brother’s fingers move?”
Shao Chuan replied, “I definitely saw it. But afterward, the doctors tested him, and there was no response from the young master.”
Upon hearing this, Ella stared intently at the man on the hospital bed, silent for a mont.
Soon after, she raised her head, looked at Shao Chuan, and asked, “Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”
Shao Chuan shook his head, “Second Miss, I’m sure I didn’t see it wrong.”
Ella closed her eyes briefly, took a deep breath, and then sat down on a nearby chair, like a deflated balloon.
On the way to the hospital just now, she kept her heart in suspense, both scared and happy.
Scared because she was worried it might have been a mistake.
Now upon hearing this answer, she wasn’t too disappointed; neither happy nor unhappy.
She looked at the person in the hospital bed and said, “Then at least this is not bad news; it’s a good beginning.”
Shao Chuan responded, “Second Miss, don’t worry, the young master will surely wake up.”
She replied with an “Um,” then added, “Let’s keep this a secret for now. Apart from you, the attending physician, and myself, don’t tell anyone else.”
“Alright, I understand.”
She worried that if soone with harmful intentions heard about it, it could bring unnecessary trouble.
After all, the crisis is not yet resolved.
Ella didn’t stay long at the hospital before leaving.
“Second Miss, are we heading back to the company directly?” Ah He asked.
“Yes, back to the company.”
“Alright.”
Ella leaned back in the chair, tilted her head up, and closed her eyes, trying to relax.
Soon, her phone buzzed a few tis.
Initially, she didn’t want to respond, but worried about missing sothing important.
She opened her phone and saw it was a ssage from He Miao.
He Miao said: “Helan Tianyu plans to take to et Old Mr. Helan this afternoon. Is there anything I should be mindful of? Or anything I should do?”
After reading it, Ella replied: “No need, just et normally. Old Mr. Helan won’t make it difficult for you.”
After sending it, she deleted their chat history.
Similarly, He Miao who was in the company at that mont read the reply and also deleted it directly.
Holding the phone, He Miao took a deep breath; going to et Old Mr. Helan, she was actually quite nervous.
She agreed to help Helan Tianyu with things on the condition that he marries her.
It was Ella who suggested she propose this condition.
At that ti, she worried that Helan Tianyu wouldn’t agree to such a ridiculous condition. If he didn’t agree, it would an she…
But unexpectedly, he agreed without hesitation.
That made her even more anxious for a while.
Suddenly she felt as if she had stepped into so kind of trap, worried that she might ruin Ella’s plan.
Yet, having made her choice ant there was no turning back for her.
No matter how scared she was, she had to forge ahead, bravely.
It was then that Zhuo Xiao ca over.
But she was preoccupied with her thoughts and didn’t notice him.
Zhuo Xiao, seeing she hadn’t responded, raised his hand and knocked on her desk.
“He Miao.”
Upon hearing the voice, He Miao snapped back to reality.
She looked at him and asked, “What is it?”
Zhuo Xiao slightly frowned, but didn’t criticize her; he simply said, “From today onward, you’ll be the Second Young Master’s personal assistant, and also, Second Young Master wants to see you—find him in his office shortly.”
He Miao had no right to refuse and could only obey.
With no expression, she replied, “Alright, I understand.”
Zhuo Xiao turned and left after speaking.
He Miao straightened her clothes, stood up, and overheard a couple of female colleagues behind her discussing her.
It was nothing more than so unpleasant gossip.
He Miao neither listened nor stopped them; she left her workstation and headed toward Helan Tianyu’s office.
“Her looks are just average, why is Mr. Yu interested in her?”
“She hasn’t been here long and already caught Mr. Yu’s attention. She seems demure on the outside but is quite ambitious, apparently.”
“…”
She always turned a deaf ear to the gossip from behind.
After all, the mouth belongs to others and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Just as she reached the door of Helan Tianyu’s office, she ran into Helan Yaoyue who was storming out.
They almost collided.
He Miao reacted quickly by stepping back.
However, Helan Yaoyue unleashed a string of curses at her: “Are you blind when you walk? What did your mom give you eyes for?”
He Miao: “…”
She recognized Helan Yaoyue, an arrogant and brainless young lady.
Helan Yaoyue might have also known her, as many years ago she always worked alongside Helan Tianyu, though she might not recognize her now.
“Are you mute? Can’t you apologize for bumping into Miss Helan?”
Helan Yaoyue had just been reprimanded by her brother again, and her mood was foul, naturally making her want to vent it on whoever she t.
Unluckily, He Miao beca her scapegoat.
If it were in the past, He Miao might apologize to her.
But tis have changed; she was no longer the He Miao she used to be.
Besides, she’s about to marry Helan Tianyu, making her essentially the sister-in-law.
“Miss Yaoyue, that doesn’t seem right; I didn’t bump into you, why should I apologize? One cannot bully us low-level staff just because you’re a Helan.”
He Miao looked at her calmly, neither humble nor arrogant as she replied.
Helan Yaoyue felt even more irritated hearing her retort.
The grievances she faced these days had no outlet.
She raised her hand, ready to slap her.
He Miao initially wanted to dodge, but then decided against it and endured the slap from Helan Yaoyue.
A crisp “slap” sound echoed.
He Miao’s head was tilted to the side.
“What are you, daring to argue with !”
This scene was just seen by Helan Tianyu and Zhuo Xiao.
Helan Tianyu stepped forward, looked at the two, and clicked his tongue a few tis.
“Yaoyue, you’re quite bold and beautiful while hitting soone,” Helan Tianyu said.
Helan Yaoyue rolled her eyes at him, remaining silent.
Helan Tianyu continued, “Yaoyue seems quite angry, who upset you? Could it be you were scolded by Second Brother and are taking it out on an innocent person?”
He glanced sideways at He Miao, who had just been slapped.
He Miao kept silent despite being hit.
“None of your business!” Helan Yaoyue snapped at him.
Helan Tianyu shrugged, “True, it’s not my business, just curiously asking. You can ignore my question.”
“…”
Then he added, “Yaoyue, as far as I rember, aren’t you banned from the company? How did you get in? Aren’t you afraid of being thrown out again?”
The scene of being thrown out last ti was still vivid.
His ntion was like sprinkling salt on the wound.
She recalled the incident, and her hatred for Helan Lingshuang intensified.
Helan Tianyu always appeared as if watching the show.
She glared at him fiercely, “I’m a daughter of the Helan Family, who dares to throw out!”
Helan Tianyu laughed ambiguously, “You’re not the only daughter in the Helan Family, it’s no big deal.”
“You…”
“Besides, it’s not the first ti you’ve been thrown out.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two security guards ca over.
The two security guards looked at Helan Tianyou and respectfully called out to him.
Helan Tianyou smiled and nodded, then looked at Helan Yaoyue and said slyly, “Look, the people here to throw you out have arrived.”
Helan Yaoyue was so angry that her face turned green.
She glared at Helan Tianyou as if she could tear him apart.
“Don’t look at like that. It’s not who asked them to co, they’re just here to do their job,” Helan Tianyou said.
At this ti, one of the security guards looked at her and said, “Miss Helan, please co with us and leave as soon as possible.”
The security at the door let her up today because the two guards were new and didn’t recognize everyone, so they let her in.
As for how she got past the front desk, they had no idea.
They only knew that if President Ling found out they let soone in again, they’d definitely be punished.
At this ti, Helan Tianyu ca out of the office, leaning on his cane.
In fact, he had heard the conversation outside.
He looked at everyone and glanced coldly at He Miao, who had been slapped. The fingerprints on her cheek were very evident, indicating how much force Helan Yaoyue had used.
He only glanced at her before shifting his gaze.
Then, he looked at Helan Yaoyue, his eyes sharp and his tone indifferent and cold, “From today on, don’t let see you in the company again.”
Helan Yaoyue was unwilling, “Brother, I…”
Helan Tianyu didn’t listen to her at all, “Zhuo Xiao, take her out for !”
Zhuo Xiao was montarily stunned, then replied, “Yes, Second Young Master.”
Helan Yaoyue looked at the man before her in disbelief.
“Brother, what did you say?”
Helan Tianyu ignored her.
Zhuo Xiao stepped forward, took her hand, and started pulling her toward the elevator.
But after just two steps, Helan Tianyu spoke again, “Wait.”
Zhuo Xiao thought he had changed his mind and stopped.
Helan Yaoyue also thought that her brother couldn’t bear to do it.
But in the next second, she heard her brother say two words to her, “Apologize!”
For a mont, she thought she was hallucinating.
He Miao was also surprised.
She never expected Helan Yaoyue to apologize to her; it seed impossible just to think about it.
“Brother, what are you saying?”
“Helan Yaoyue, apologize to Secretary He, don’t make say it a third ti!”
“I won’t, I did nothing wrong, why should I apologize to soone so lowly?”
Helan Tianyu’s gaze was filled with disappointnt and barely contained anger.
The tension around him was almost palpable, instantly lowering the air pressure.
Zhuo Xiao whispered a reminder, “Miss Yue, you’d better listen to the Second Young Master. You know that if he really gets angry, you won’t escape punishnt either.”
Helan Yaoyue bit her lip, refusing to relent.
Helan Tianyou was silently watching the spectacle from the side, even secretly taking out his phone to start recording.
“Miss Yue, now’s not the ti to be at odds with the Second Young Master,” Zhuo Xiao quietly advised again.
He Miao was just about to speak when Helan Yaoyue suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”
But her attitude showed no sincerity.
After speaking, she shook off Zhuo Xiao and just turned and left.
The drama ca to an end just like that.
Helan Tianyu looked at He Miao, his gaze cold and dim, and said lightly, “Go treat your injury before coming back.”
Originally, he had planned to take her to see the Old Mr. Helan this afternoon, but now it seed today was not the day.
He Miao nodded and turned to leave.
At this mont, Helan Tianyou appropriately asked, “Second Brother, is this Secretary He going to be my future sister-in-law?”
Nobody had seen the person Helan Tianyu ntioned at the family estate that day.
But He Miao had been Helan Tianyu’s person before, and now she suddenly returned, and they even had a daughter together, so…
When Helan Tianyu spoke that day, the first person he thought of was He Miao.
Helan Tianyu didn’t answer him but directly asked, “You ca to see about sothing?”
Helan Tianyou wasn’t one to keep pressing, so he backed off.
“Oh, yes, there is sothing. It’s about the resort project.”
“Co in and talk.”
“…”
Ella arrived at the company and received the video Helan Tianyou sent.
She got out of the car and walked straight into the company, then opened the video.
When she saw Helan Yaoyue appear in the company again, she frowned slightly.
Wasn’t anyone taking her words seriously?
Just then, as she reached the elevator, the employee elevator next to her opened.
And the main character from the video appeared.
Ella tilted her head and glanced at her.
She said nothing, rely glanced at her before looking away.
Helan Yaoyue was taken aback when she saw her.
Zhuo Xiao had not expected her to be there and respectfully called out, “President Ling.”
Ella responded with an unemotional “Mhm.”
She pressed the elevator button, the door opened, and she went straight in.
Helan Yaoyue had thought she would say sothing, but until the elevator doors closed, not a word was said.
She glared at the elevator as if she could bore a hole in it with her eyes.
Zhuo Xiao reminded her from the side, “Miss Yue, you should hurry back.”
Helan Yaoyue turned back to glare at him, “Get lost, don’t follow !”
With that, she strode out the main door.
Zhuo Xiao: “…”
After returning to the office, Ella called ng Ye in.
“President Ling, what’s the matter?”
Ella sat in her office chair, her slender fingers tapping the desk, “Go find a picture of Helan Yaoyue and post it downstairs.”
ng Ye was confused about the aning of this, “President Ling, our company isn’t short of spokespersons.”
Ella gave him a sidelong glance, “Who said I want her to be a spokesperson? Am I that blind? Helan Yaoyue ca to the company again today, didn’t you know?”
ng Ye shook his head. He had a pile of work every day; how could he have known?
Plus, President Ling already gave orders last ti, so why was Miss Yaoyue here again?
“Make a sign and place it at the hall entrance with the words ‘This person is not allowed inside’ clearly marked.”
“…”
ng Ye was stunned, he thought President Ling being tough enough to throw her out was already bold, but this was even harsher!
If this continued, wouldn’t Miss Yaoyue feel like she was being publicly humiliated every day?
If she found out, wouldn’t she go crazy?
“Also, inform the head of security: if she sneaks in again, he’d better just pack up and leave.”
“But, President Ling, what if Mr. Yu… you know, intervenes?”
Ella narrowed her eyes, looking at him, “Is this company under his say, or mine?”
ng Ye blinked and imdiately replied, “Understood, I’ll take care of it at once.”
With that, he turned and hurried out.
The security departnt was very proactive; by the afternoon, the sign was made and placed there.
…
At seven in the evening.
After finishing her work, Ella finally left the office.
She had just gotten into the elevator when she received a call.
“Finished work?” Ye Jiuqing asked.
She responded, “Yes, what’s up?”
Ye Jiuqing said, “I’m waiting for you downstairs at your company, there’s sothing I want to discuss.”
“Okay, wait for .”
Ye Jiuqing was worried she’d bail on him, so he emphasized, “I really have sothing to discuss, don’t sneak away again.”
After all, this wouldn’t be the first ti she did that.
“…”
