Today, she wore a hat and walked slowly, clearly still suffering from the leg injury from last night. After waiting all night and being unable to contact her, Qin Zhenâs anger grew stronger. However, seeing her appearance and considering her injury, he swallowed his anger and could not express it. It was his carelessness last night that caused her injury, and it was understandable that she was angry and did not answer his calls. He consoled himself in this
wayâ¦
However, as he walked over to ask her where she had been last night, he saw Chi Ming catching up to her and handing her something, and they were chatting and laughing. Shen Qingyue even pushed Chi Ming lightly, and he patted her head with a smile before leaving.
Watching Chi Mingâs departing figure and the smile on Shen Qingyueâs lips, Qin
Zhenâs face gradually darkened.
Shen Qingyue did not even notice Qin Zhenâs presence and walked inside with the crowd.
Qin Zhen quickly walked over, his face dark as he shouted, âShen Qingyue! Stop right there.â
Upon hearing his words, Shen Qingyue stopped in her tracks. âWhy are you here?â
âWere you at that wild manâs house last night? Yes or no?â Qin Zhen only wanted one answer now.
It was during the morning rush hour on a workday, and many people had gathered at the entrance.
âIsnât that President Shen?â
âWho is that man?â
âDonât you pay attention to the news? Itâs the century wedding of the Shen
Group and the Qin Group! Arenât they the main characters of that weddingâ¦â âAre they suggesting that President Shen is having an affair?â
âAre you out of your mind? They have already divorced. Now the ex-husband comes to question her, obviously not wanting to see his ex-wife doing better than him!â
âThatâs right, I remember seeing the news before. President Qin was seen entering and leaving hotels with a woman. Theyâve been caught so many times. Now, what face does he have to question others, especially his ex-wife! This man is sick. He can find a girlfriend himself, but his ex-wife has to remain single? What kind of reasoning is thatâ¦â
âNews is always a mix of truth and falsehood. Theyâre probably both having affairsâ¦â
People were discussing animatedly, as they were all eager for gossip. Shen Qingyueâs face turned unpleasant, and a sharp gaze swept over them, silencing everyone. After all, they were still working in the Shen Groupâ¦
Shen Qingyue turned around to face this big trouble.
âFollow me.â Her leg was not feeling great, so she found a corner and sat down, looking up at him. âQin Zhen, be more mindful of the occasion next time. You have no shame, but I do!â
âHuh, you still have the audacity to talk about shame when you slept at a wild manâs house!â Qin Zhenâs face darkened. He could not believe Shen Qingyue could do such a thing.
Shen Qingyueâs voice was lazy as she leaned back in her chair, mocking him.
âQin Zhen, are you telling jokes? What do you mean by a wild man? Both Chi Ming and I are single. Whatâs the big deal if we do whatever we want? Itâs none of your business! If thatâs how you see it, youâre with Wei Jiuâer every day, arenât you fooling around?
Qin Zhen gritted his teeth. âYou have no sense of shame!â
âTsk!â Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes at him. There was no way to communicate with this idiot. She said directly, âStop wasting time. What exactly do you want from me? Do you really want to know where I slept last night?â
Qin Zhen fell silent, indeed, that was one reason. He also wanted to see how she was doing after the injury. But now, he could not bring himself to say either reason. His pride did not allow him to bow his head.
Seeing him not responding, Shen Qingyue lost her patience. âIs that the only reason? Qin Zhen, youâve been pestering me time and time again. It makes me wonder if you like me.â
At her words, Qin Zhenâs face turned dark, and he said decisively, âEven if all the women in the world were dead, I still wouldnât like you, Shen Qingyue!â
âIs that so? Well, thatâs great!â Shen Qingyue stood up. âSince you saved me last night, I, being a person who values righteousness, wonât scold you today. Also, please have some self-awareness and stop looking for me. Because if you really do like me, I wonât be happy; Iâll just feel disgusted. Of course, I appreciate that you donât like me.â
After speaking, Shen Qingyue turned and walked away, leaving Qin Zhen with her back.
After Yu Zhuong reported a few work matters, he took out an invitation. âPresident Shen, this is an invitation to an auction. Weâre almost ready for that piece of land.â
Shen Qingyue nodded and then said, âHelp me make an appointment with the chairman of Xuri Group. I want to meet him tonight.â
âDonât you know?â Yu Zhuang was taken aback and continued, âXuri Group is under investigation due to a coal mine collapse incident. Moreover, most of their senior management were involved in wrongdoing. In the early years, during the mining disputes, they even caused deaths and buried the bodies in the mine. Now theyâve been taken away. Itâs better if we donât have any contact with them
