Chapter 17 Have you forgotten everything you did?

Bai Qingcheng is the apple of the Bai family's eye and is well protected. In addition, her relationship with Chi Yuan is purer than that of their parents, so naturally it is simpler.

Chi Yuan changed the subject and stopped talking about help.

She didn't want Bai Qingcheng to ask Old Master Bai for her.

If that day ever comes, she will use her own strength to get Mr. Bai's help.

The airport is not far from the Bai family mansion, and an hour's drive is enough.

Bai Qinghe sent a text message to inform her that he needed to have lunch with the participants and asked her not to rush over.

Chi Yuan was still uneasy and wanted to rush over immediately.

After all, this matter was commissioned by her. Now that the auction is over, she feels bad if she doesn't rush over.

Finally, the bus stopped near the Bai family manor.

After getting off the car, Chi Yuan looked in the direction of the manor.

Just walk a little further and you can see the huge manor.

She and the Bai brothers and sisters used to play in the manor all the time, but since she became an adult, she has never set foot there again, and the Bai brothers and sisters have gone abroad to study one after another.

"Yuanyuan, let's go. You haven't been here for a long time."

Bai Qingcheng pulled her towards the manor, but Chi Yuan stood there without moving, shook his head, and withdrew his hand under the other party's surprised gaze.

"Next time, when I have finished dealing with some things and have enough confidence to seek cooperation from the Bai Group, I will come."

Chi Yuan smiled and said, "Believe me, it won't be long."

Now, Bai Qinghe has already helped her a lot, and she can't drag Bai Qingcheng down anymore.

The other party did not refuse when he heard this and nodded heavily to Chi Yuan.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Bai Qingcheng knew that Chi Yuan was arrogant and would not ask for help from anyone unless it was absolutely necessary, especially from his very good friends.

Now that the crisis has been temporarily alleviated, Chi Yuan no longer relies on the help of others and even declined his own proposal.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, Bai Qingcheng thought that maybe she could try to mention it occasionally in front of her father.

My father admires people who are hardworking and capable the most.

Chi Yuan went straight to the auction site and contacted Bai Qinghe to ask about his current location.

When we arrived at the exhibition hall, the bidders were no longer there.

Chi Yuan originally wanted to ask the staff where everyone was going, but unexpectedly... he ran into Qi Wang head-on.

During the live broadcast, Qi Wang did not participate in the bidding, so she naturally assumed that he was not present.

Now that she encountered this...she felt a little overwhelmed and even wanted to turn around and leave.

After some mental struggle, it was too late to leave.

Qi Wang stopped in front of her, his expression calm: "You come now? The auction is over."

"I know." Chi Yuan didn't meet his eyes.

There seemed to be nothing much to talk about between them.

Silence stretched between the two.

"Chi Yuan."

He suddenly spoke, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "As long as I want the manor and land, Bai Qinghe has no chance."

Chi Yuan shuddered all over and almost lost his balance.

She still kept her head down, which just concealed the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

"Do you think you defeated me?"

The shadow in front of her seemed to move away, and warmth covered her shoulders.

"Think carefully about what path to take in the future."

As if to remind her of something, the man patted her shoulder gently.

The footsteps gradually faded away until they disappeared completely, and then Chi Yuan raised his head.

His eyes were full of reluctance, yet powerlessness.

Qi Wang was clearly telling her that everything she had fought for now was just his charity.

What can she do to him as long as he doesn't want to?

"Miss, the hall needs to be cleared. Please move to the lounge."

A staff member came over to inform him, and Chi Yuan came back to his senses. He then asked, "Sorry, I'm here to look for someone. Where are they going for lunch after the auction?"

…

When Chi Yuan rushed to the side hall, Bai Qinghe had just come out of the box.

There were only ten people participating in the auction, so after it was over, they naturally had to drink and exchange pleasantries.

Bai Qinghe's face was a little red, but his steps were steady, and Chi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no one else following him, and it seemed that he had already declined the banquet.

But I inevitably drank some.

"Brother Bai, how are you?" Chi Yuan was about to reach out to help, but another pair of arms held Bai Qinghe's hands before her.

Two pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

Qi Wang handed the man over to his assistant and ordered, "Send Young Master Bai back."

Bai Qinghe was naturally unwilling to do so. Before he could speak, Qi Wang continued, "The prerequisite for you to get the land today is that I give up the bidding."

He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Mr. Bai, please go back. My wife and I have some private matters to discuss."

Obviously, he wanted to get rid of them.

Bai Qinghe drank a little, but not drunk, and could still understand what Qi Wang said.

He had originally intended to inform Chi Yuan about giving up the bid, but now that he was here, it was naturally not his turn to explain.

"Boss Qi, don't go too far with some things."

Looking at Bai Qinghe's leaving back, Chi Yuan felt sad.

He was an outsider, but he got dragged into it himself.

"He cares about you."

Qi Wang's cold voice brought her back to reality.

"Unfortunately, after divorcing me, you are not qualified to marry him with your status."

Chi Yuan frowned, not understanding what was going on: "Why are you saying this?"

Besides, she had never thought of marrying Bai Qinghe.

Qi Wang laughed sarcastically: "That's right, I was overthinking it. After all, the one you like is someone else."

"I don't!"

As if deliberately provoking her, Qi Wang's smile deeply hurt her eyes.

Plus the person he mentioned... Even though she felt unwilling at first, now she just wanted to draw a clear line with that person!

"Is it interesting to talk about him now?" Chi Yuan clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she was unaware: "Since I married you, he and I have no relationship at all."

Sure enough, everything he did during this period was for revenge.

Qi Wang, however, looked slightly surprised: "It just suddenly occurred to me and I mentioned it. Why is Miss Chi so excited?"

He walked closer, grasped her shaking hand accurately, pried open her fist with force, and interlocked his fingers with hers, which were covered in blood.

Chi Yuan struggled in vain, and at the same time, the man's low voice fell into her ears.

"Why are you hiding? We are still husband and wife. It is legal for me to hold your hand."

Just listening to the voice, it seemed to be mixed with some tenderness, but Chi Yuan inexplicably felt that the man in front of him was very scary.

After four years of living together day and night, she felt like she was getting to know him for the first time.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chi Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It was you who filed for divorce, and it was also you who was close to me..."

"No." The man put his finger on her lips: "I was the one who filed for divorce, but you are the one who refused to sign."

"I……"

Chi Yuan kept shaking his head.

She is not refusing divorce, she just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to maximize her benefits.

"To achieve your goal, you were the one who got close to me and tried to please me. Chi Yuan, have you forgotten what you did?"
