Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Chi Ming still had a pure and gentle smile on his face as he answered her questions one by one. “Before you woke up, I had already talked to Grandfather Shen. I told him that I didn’t touch you… and I don’t want to wander the virtual world anymore because there are more important things to do now.”

Shen Qingyue could not believe it. “He believed you?”

Although it was true, being alone in a room with a man could easily lead to misunderstandings, right? As for the more important matters that Chi Ming mentioned, they were probably related to the Chi family’s own affairs.

Chi Ming replied, “He believed me.”

Shen Qingyue was skeptical.

The person in front of her had a pair of charming peach-blossom eyes, but he was good at acting. There was a hint of innocence and purity in his eyebrows, and when he smiled, he looked like a harmless big dog, very deceptive. So, her grandpa must have been deceived!

Shen Qingyue waved her hand. “Alright, let’s turn the page on this matter. You can go home now.”

Things were messy at the moment, and she did not know how to face this old friend.

Chi Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say anything. He slowly lowered his head, looking obedient and restrained. Emotions flickered in his eyes, finally settling on a disappointed ‘Hmm’.

Although Shen Qingyue knew he was up to something, she felt a deepening sense of guilt for some reason. With that thought, she quickly went to work, out of sight, out of mind.

After she left, all the negative emotions on Chi Ming’s face vanished completely, replaced by a face full of doting. He had kept his phone turned off last night to avoid disturbing Shen Qingyue. Now he finally turned it on and received various messages.

The most messages were from his younger brother, Chi Yan.

[Big Brother, where did you run off to? Weren’t you supposed to come back? Where are you? Today was supposed to be your official start! Don’t even think about running away. Let me tell you, Dad is furious…]

Chi Ming replied briefly. [Chasing after your future sister-in-law, busy, hang up.]

Chi Yan was dumbfouonded.

…

Due to her hangover, Shen Qingyue arrived at the company at half past nine. As soon as she arrived, her assistant informed her that Wei Jiu’er was in the meeting room and asked if she wanted to see her.

“I got it.” Shen Qingyue thought for a moment and decided to go see her. The matter with Qin Zhen had been dragging on, and Wei Jiu’er might be an assist!

It was just the two of them in the room, and Wei Jiu’er could not be bothered to pretend anymore, revealing her original spiteful demeanor. She sarcastically said, “Missy is truly different. She comes to work whenever she feels like it.”

Shen Qingyue smiled and said, “It’s not too bad. I have more money than I can spend. I don’t have to worry about not having money at all! I envy you. You always have endless work, such a fulfilling life.”

Wei Jiu’er had intended to say something sarcastic, but she ended up angering herself.

Shen Qingyue pulled out a chair and sat down. “What’s the matter? Just get straight to the point. We don’t need to reminisce.”

Wei Jiu’er also laid it out on the table. “Shen Qingyue, I underestimated you. Recently, Zhen has been ignoring me because of you, and it’s even made me feel threatened…”

“Stop. I don’t want to hear any of that. Get to the point!” Shen Qingyue raised an eyebrow.

Wei Jiu’er smiled and suddenly took something out of her bag and stuffed it into Shen Qingyue’s hand. Before Shen Qingyue could react, Wei Jiu’er grabbed her hand and stabbed her own abdomen, letting out a scream.

As soon as she finished screaming, the sound of an ambulance’s siren could be heard from downstairs.

Shen Qingyue looked coldly at Wei Jiu’er, unmoved. She could feel that there was something protecting Wei Jiu’er’s belly. As for the blood, it was probably prepared in advance in blood bags. Her acting was too clumsy, and Shen Qingyue could not be bothered to cooperate. She really wanted Wei Jiu’er to see Chi Ming’s acting skills!

Although this incident was quite disgusting, it happened to be what she needed. She kicked Wei Jiu’er with her foot. “Be smart later and focus on bringing up the matter of divorcing Qin Zhen with me! Get the important matters done quickly and stop screaming.”

Wei Jiu’er, who was writhing on the ground, was stunned. “What?”

By this time, the medical staff she had arranged in advance had rushed in and carried away the shocked Wei Jiu’er.

The employees were horrified to see Wei Jiu’er covered in blood as she was taken out.

Shen Qingyue walked out. “This is a movie I’ve invested in. Pretend you didn’t see anything. If this film leaks out…”

She glanced around the office.

The employees vigorously nodded.

Shen Qingyue did noot say anything more and quickly followed the ambulance.

…

Qin Zhen asked his assistant to prepare a bouquet of yellow roses to apologize to Shen Qingyue.

The meaning behind yellow roses was: Apology for love.

After thinking about it all night, he realized that he had indeed done a few things that went too far recently, and it would not be embarrassing to apologize to Shen Qingyue once. But as soon as he bought the flowers, he received a call from the hospital saying that Wei Jiu’er had been stabbed and injured by Shen Qingyue!
