But this matter is very serious, he must take it seriously.
âGrandpa, I think itâs better not to tell Xiaotang about this for now, so she wonât be distracted from her studies. I will arrange for someone to protect her secretly.â Dongfang Yu suggested.
The old man nodded, âYouâre right, then Iâll have to trouble you.â
âItâs my duty.â Dongfang Yu stood up, âI want to go upstairs and check on her.â
âOkay, go ahead.â At this time, the old man was full of worry, not caring about what he was about to do.
Dongfang Yu went upstairs, gently pushed open Hai Xiaotangâs door, and saw her sitting at her desk studying intently.
She didnât even notice him as he approached.
Hai Xiaotang was doing exercises, and she was muttering formulas under her breath.
Looking at her soft profile, Dongfang Yuâs gaze softened a lot.
He didnât disturb her, just stared at her for a while before turning around to leave.
The moment he closed the door, Hai Xiaotang slightly lifted her head, her gaze flickered.
Actually, she knew that Dongfang Yu was behind her.
Because his shadow was projected on the wallâ¦
But since he didnât make a sound, she strangely pretended not to know he was there.
Because she didnât know what to say to him, and she didnât want to face him either.
As for how he dealt with things between him and Lin Xinxin, she didnât want to askâ¦
If possible, she wished he wouldnât contact her anymore.
Unaffected by anything, Hai Xiaotang went to class as usual the next day.
School let out early in the afternoon.
As soon as she walked out of the school gate with her schoolbag, she was suddenly stopped by Lin Xinxin, who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere!
Upon seeing her, Hai Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment.
Despite looking exhausted, Lin Xinxin held herself with an air of aloofness.
âHai Xiaotang, letâs find a place and talk.â Her voice was also tinged with intense weariness.
With an indifferent look on her face, Hai Xiaotang ignored her and continued walking.
Lin Xinxin blocked her way again, âI came to beg you!â She suddenly said.
Hai Xiaotang was slightly surprised.
Lin Xinxin was begging her?
Without caring about formalities anymore, Lin Xinxin said directly: âIâm willing to drop the charges, I wonât pursue anything anymore. Can you ask the CEO not to fire me?â
Hai Xiaotang was even more surprised. Dongfang Yu was going to fire her?
With a distraught expression, Lin Xinxin said, âDo you know how much effort I put in to get into Dongfang, and how much effort I put in to get to where I am today?
I admit I shouldnât have fallen for the CEO, but Iâve always liked him secretly, and I never thought about ruining your relationship.
It was only after this incident happened that I felt very distressed, which is why I said those things to you that day.
But I promise that I will stay away from the CEO in the future and try to forget him. I only ask to stay in Dongfang, I really donât want to lose this job!â
By the end of her words, Lin Xinxinâs eyes were red from distress.
It seemed that losing this job was as grave as losing her life.
Unfortunately, Hai Xiaotang was unmoved after hearing her words. âLin Xinxin, youâre begging the wrong person, you should go to Dongfang Yu!â
âI went to him, but he still wants to fire me. I can only come to you nowâ¦â
âItâs useless to come to me, I canât do anything.â Hai Xiaotang said coldly and walked away.
Lin Xinxin caught up with her and said in pain, âHai Xiaotang, I beg you, I really canât lose this job, because itâs very important to me!â
Hai Xiaotang didnât stop walking, her expression was devoid of any emotion, as if she hadnât heard a word.
