Arson

The night Chi Yuan and Qi Wang consummated their relationship, Qi Wang, as an illegitimate child, had just been acknowledged by the Qi family.

At that time, the Chi family was at its peak, an...

Chapter 14 Do You Really Want to Choose Him?

Chi Yuan didn't dare to leave after all.

The final ownership of the manor land was in Qi Wang's hands, and she had no way to deal with him.

I wanted to go home after finishing this, but now I can’t go back.

Chi Yuan's parents took turns calling, but he didn't dare to answer. He just replied to the message to let them know that he was fine.

"Mom and Dad, you should get some rest early. I'm at Guibai Road. Qi Wang and I haven't divorced yet, so this is my home. I'll be fine."

Then she saw the greeting message from Bai Qinghe.

"How was your day? Are you okay?"

Chi Yuan did not reply.

The outcome was still unknown, and she didn't want him to pay such a large sum of money for her.

Qi Wang did not come back all night, and Chi Yuan slept in the former master bedroom after taking a shower.

She was so tired that she slept until dawn. When she looked at the time, she packed up and went to work.

Chi Yuan sat up and suddenly realized that she lived on Kuibai Road and had no clothes suitable for work. There was a knock on the door at the right time.

"Ma'am, are you awake?"

She cleared her throat. "What is it?"

"The young master ordered something for you. I left it at the door."

“…”

Chi Yuan couldn't explain how he felt, and he didn't want to thank him.

Only after making sure that the housekeeper had gone far away did Chi Yuan put on his coat and open the door.

There were three or five shopping bags placed at the door. When I brought them in and opened them, as expected, there was a whole set of clothes and a pair of shoes.

She was really finding it increasingly difficult to understand Qi Wang's thoughts.

After tidying himself up, Chi Yuan went downstairs. The door just opened and Qi Wang came back.

She subconsciously glanced at the time.

Ten thirty in the morning.

After Qi Wang came back, he didn't seem to look at her. He sat directly on the sofa, supported his knees with his elbows, rubbed his eyebrows, and seemed extremely tired.

Chi Yuan slowly moved and sat opposite him.

"What? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Before she spoke, she repeatedly told herself to keep her tone as calm as possible.

But once the words came out, they sounded... weird.

It seemed that she wouldn't be able to have a good conversation with him in the short term.

"good."

Qi Wang didn't seem to care about her tone and took out a check.

"Take it, as compensation for last night."

The check was moved in front of him, and Chi Yuan stared at the number on it.

Seven zeros.

This is already a considerable sum of money, and she got what she wanted.

The long knuckles of his fingers pressed against the thin check.

Thirty million was not enough to sustain the Chi family for too long, but she managed to get it by any means.

Chi Yuan laughed at himself: "So... this 30 million, is it my reward for serving you last night, or... are you apologizing to me on behalf of Ye Ranran?"

The man let go of her hand without even raising his eyelids. “Whatever you think, it’s up to you. This money is what you need, isn’t it?”

Chi Yuan smiled silently and took the check.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi." She stood up and was about to leave, but still asked unwillingly, "So Mr. Qi will still participate in the auction, right?"

Given the compensation, in return, he will not give up the auction.

"It's none of your business."

The voice was so cold and emotionless that it extinguished her unrealistic hope.

"I see."

Leaving the villa, the midday sun was extremely dazzling, and the sunlight fell on her skin, bringing warmth.

Chi Yuan lowered his head and noticed the silver thread on his clothes.

I have to say, the clothes Qi Wang picked suit her very well.

He seemed to understand her better than she gave him credit for.

Without thinking any more, Chi Yuan took a taxi back to Chi's house and informed his parents of the results of last night's negotiation, but did not tell them the amount of money, nor did he tell them that Bai Qinghe had agreed to help with the money. He only told them about helping with the auction.

Father Chi was a little surprised: "The Bai family... Mr. Bai and I haven't had any business contact for a long time, and I'm embarrassed to bother him now."

"Dad, it's okay. I will find a way to handle everything in the company from now on, and I will take care of the Chi family." Chi Yuan said firmly, his eyes bright.

She thought it through. As long as she could keep the land, she would find other ways to solve Chi's debt problem.

Working in the club, a day's salary is not enough to pay the interest on the debt.

If Qi Wang hadn't promised her 50 million, she wouldn't have agreed.

"Alas, it's your parents who are dragging you down."

The guarantee sounded flimsy and lacked credibility, so Chi Yuan was in no hurry to prove it.

She didn't dare to say anything too confident before the auction results were finalized.

After a simple lunch, Chi Yuan rushed to the club.

On the bus, he explained his current situation to Bai Qinghe.

Taking into account the 10 million previously obtained, 40 million may not be enough to acquire the land.

But for the rest, she could only ask Bai Qinghe for help.

After the message was sent, the other party did not reply. Chi Yuan just thought it was the time difference and did not take it seriously.

It was not until the end of the work day that she saw Bai Qinghe at the club's door.

Chi Yuan thought he was seeing things.

But the tall figure gradually approached him, and Chi Yuan stared at it intently.

A car headlight swept by, just illuminating the other person's face.

"Yuanyuan, how can you work in a place like this?"

The voice is familiar yet strange, different from what I remember, and more real than the one coming from the phone.

"Brother Bai? Is it really you?" Chi Yuan was still in disbelief until the other party suddenly hugged her tightly.

They have a childhood sweetheart friendship, more like family than friends.

After not seeing each other for many years, this was just a simple hug.

"You scared me to death."

Bai Qinghe's voice was terribly hoarse, obviously he had suppressed too many emotions.

"What's wrong? I'm fine, aren't I? But you came back early, why didn't you tell me? I could have come to pick you up."

Chi Yuan's hands were hanging down, not hugging him.

Bai Qinghe also knew that he had lost his composure and quickly let go.

In the darkness, Chi Yuan couldn't see his expression, but he could hear a hint of sob in his voice.

"You didn't reply to me last night. I was worried that something happened to you, so I came back early."

Chi Yuan quickly understood his concerns.

The Chi family is in debt, so someone will definitely target her, the only daughter of the Chi family.

"Don't worry, what can happen to me? Qi Wang and I haven't divorced yet. Even if someone has their eyes on the Chi family, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

She said it easily, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. Bai Qinghe just responded softly: "I'll take you back first, just in time to meet your uncle and aunt."

Chi Yuan nodded, and suddenly felt very friendly.

Having childhood friends around me seems to make me feel a lot more stable.

Before the two of them had gone far, a male voice suddenly rang out.

"Chi Yuan, do you want to go with him?"

The middle of the night was already chilly, and Qi Wang's voice sounded as if covered with a layer of ice.

Qi Wang came to pick her up every night, although Chi Yuan didn't understand why he insisted on doing so.

"He's a friend I grew up with. He can just take me home tonight. I won't bother Mr. Qi."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold feeling suddenly gripped her wrist.

At the same time, on the other side, Bai Qinghe also caught her!
