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 283 What if I refuse?
"What's wrong? You're crying again."
When Qi Wang was still at home, Nian Nian didn't cry so often. Xiaoyu had been taking care of her since she was more than one month old.
Can such a young child also feel the departure of a blood relative?
"I'm sorry, miss. I didn't take good care of the little miss. I will coax her back as soon as possible."
Chi Yuan put down his bag and took the child: "It's not your problem, let me do it."
But even lying in her mother's arms, Nian Nian was still crying loudly.
Chi Yuan could only carry the child back to the room and play with him with some toys.
Today, even the toys that Nian Nian usually liked couldn't make her happy.
After fiddling with it for a while, Chi Yuan felt dizzy.
She suddenly found a harmonica among the pile of toys.
I have no idea when I bought the Chiyuan, but it looks and feels good.
She whistled a simple lullaby.
This kind of harmonica is originally used to entertain children, and it is not difficult to learn.
The gentle melody slowly flowed out, gradually drowning out Nian Nian's crying.
Finally, the crying stopped, but the playing continued.
Chi Yuan put down the harmonica and saw Nian Nian, who was about to close her eyes but didn't, and was already drowsy.
Only then did she remember that it was dinner time and she didn't know whether the child had eaten dinner.
But seeing that Nian Nian was quiet, Chi Yuan chose to let her continue sleeping and couldn't bear to wake her up.
After making sure that the child was really asleep, Chi Yuan quietly left the bedroom and asked Xiaoyu about the child's day.
"Nian Nian had already eaten dinner. When she cried, I even suspected that she was too full, but I didn't feed her much at night."
Chi Yuan asked casually: "What did you have for dinner?"
"It's the kind of rice noodles that babies eat... Oh, I think I know the reason. Today's rice noodles have a special flavor, bitter melon. He wouldn't cry because he thinks it tastes bad, right?"
“…”
Xiaoyu has some "talent" in taking care of children.
"Where are my parents? Haven't they come back yet?"
Without the sound of the child's crying, the villa was very quiet.
She noticed that her parents' slippers were still at the entrance.
"Not yet. I called half an hour ago and asked to work overtime tonight. If you come back first, you can eat first."
How could she have any appetite now?
Chi Yuan nodded calmly and waved his hand: "Just make some simple dishes. I don't have much appetite, so I won't eat the staple food."
After sitting down on the sofa, Chi Yuan began to browse his phone aimlessly again.
It's not for finding information, it's just to indulge, or maybe... it's just because I'm too tired and don't want to think too much.
It is inevitable to see some unpleasant news on social platforms, especially now that big data is so powerful and can be pushed precisely.
"Did Qi Wang really go abroad? There are rumors that he has been secretly arrested and may have committed something serious."
"What's gossip? Why don't you tell it? Otherwise, it's just spreading rumors without any evidence."
"I'm not spreading rumors, but the news will be censored once it's released. Think about it carefully. Chi Yuan's reputation isn't much better these days. One of them must be a murderer."
…
It is indeed a rumor, and there is indeed evidence, and it will be harmonized if it is released.
But this time, it was not the Chi or Bai families who were doing the public relations, but the police station.
If Qi Wang cooperates in carrying out the mission, the person assigned will naturally be responsible for handling the remaining issues.
But it was precisely this point that made Chi Yuan feel terrified when he thought about it carefully.
Even the police don’t know the details... What kind of confidential matter is that?
What kind of people...or organization is behind this?
At this time, another phone call came in. Chi Yuan vaguely felt that the phone number was familiar. She hesitated for a moment and decided to answer it.
The next moment, a burst of curses came from the phone.
"Chi Yuan! Where's your conscience? Wouldn't you lose sleep after killing someone? God is watching what you do. I'm telling you, be careful when you go out in the future. I can take your life at any time!"
Chi Yuan remembered that the voice was Liu Zhiming's mother.
It didn't seem like long had passed since the last threat.
Why does she always insist that she is the murderer?
It had been two months since the incident and they hadn't even met each other.
But this time, Liu's mother didn't say much. After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Chi Yuan opened the settings and wanted to block the number, but after thinking about it, he canceled it.
Blocking is not the best option. Since Liu's mother wants to call, let her do it.
As for what she said about taking her own life... Chi Yuan was waiting for that day.
If possible, she would like to talk to Liu's mother.
It wasn't her who killed him, nor was it Qi Wang who killed him, so why did Liu's mother think it was their fault?
If Liu Zhiming hadn't intended to harm anyone, why would Qi Wang have arrested him? In the end, he was used as a weapon to smear Qi Wang.
Chi Yuan put down his phone, and Xiaoyu came out with the dishes.
"Miss, it's time to eat."
Today, Chi Yuan ate very simply and didn't even finish the small portion of seafood and egg custard.
My parents came back very late that night.
In fact, in the past few days, the Chi, Bai and Qi families have all had to deal with a lot of work issues.
There are too many chain reactions caused by public opinion, and many projects have been affected. The biggest impact is on projects that have not yet started and are in progress. As for those that have already ended... there are also some minor problems to deal with.
Chi Yuan became the one with the most free time.
But her current leisure time is only short-lived, and greater responsibilities are waiting for her.
But Chi Yuan didn't expect that her "responsibility" would come to her so soon.
Qi Jianping originally gave her a month to prepare, but he called her a week later.
"Ms. Chi, the board of directors has collectively requested that you attend the meeting. I will try my best to find a way to turn it down for you, but if I really can't, you must be prepared."
As soon as he heard the tone, Chi Yuan knew that the group of people had ill intentions.
Qi Wang's abilities are recognized by most people in the Qi family.
Recognizing Qi Wang does not mean recognizing his wife.
"I see. Tell me the time first. Do they... not want me to participate in the decision-making?"
Chi Yuan actually said it very tactfully.
To put it bluntly, that group of people probably wanted to erode her equity.
Now, no matter how poor her ability is, the equity is indeed in her hands.
It was given to her by Qi Wang.
Now thinking about it, Qi Wang’s move was quite brilliant.
If he still holds the shares and he suddenly disappears, I, as his wife, may not even have the right to deal with this part of the shares.
But it would be different if it was handed over to her. As long as she refused to hand it over, that group of people would not be able to do anything to her no matter how much they objected.
"As long as you hold the largest proportion of equity, you are the final decision-maker, and no one can change this."
