Now that things have come to this, Chu Xing understands that it was Liu Jia'er who was behind it all.

He glanced at Liu Jiaer, who was standing silently to the side, and gently picked up the teacup in front of him, saying in a low voice, "This is the company's arrangement."

"Isn't the company yours?" Qin Jizhi gradually lost patience.

"I have no right to interfere with the company's decisions."

Seeing Chu Xing's businesslike demeanor, Chu Mingqian, though not angry, exuded an air of authority and looked at him coldly.

“Jia’er is someone your mother and I watched grow up, and we will never allow her to suffer any injustice. It just so happens that we encountered a flood this time, so why don’t we just turn back?” He made the decision directly, in a businesslike manner.

Liu Jiaer looked at Qin Jizhi with anticipation and said in a low voice, "Ah Xing, I've suffered a lot of grievances while I was abroad. I know in my heart that you don't like me going to your company."

As she said this, a tear rolled down her cheek.

Tears streamed down her face, and her teary eyes broke Qin Jizhi and Chu Mingqian's hearts.

Chu Xing took a deep breath, subconsciously frowned, and said in a low voice, "Go to the company to handle the procedures yourself."

These words immediately delighted Liu Jia'er, who nodded repeatedly: "I knew Ah Xing wouldn't just stand by and watch me suffer."

Qin Jizhi, standing to the side, also looked relieved and nodded: "In that case, I can rest assured."

However, Chu Xing's next words caused the smiles on their faces to freeze instantly.

"There's no need to come to Yunxing again in the future."

"Ah Xing..." Liu Jia'er hadn't had time to wipe away the tears on her eyelashes, and she looked extremely flustered.

She understood Chu Xing's personality; he always meant what he said.

Seeing Chu Xing's indifferent expression, she immediately turned to Qin Jizhi and said in a choked voice, "Auntie, I know I was wrong, but I really understand my mistakes now."

Qin Jizhi frowned, unable to bear it any longer, and looked at Chu Xing, saying helplessly, "Jia'er has already realized her mistake, so why are you being so aggressive?"

"There's no need to bring this up again."

Song Mai is now her bottom line. Liu Jiaer has crossed this line time and time again, so she cannot be easily taught a lesson.

Chu Xing looked at his angry parents, then turned away in disappointment.

"Ah Xing, I'll go back tomorrow, please don't be angry."

Liu Jia'er spoke pitifully, but in her heart she was silently praying that Chu Xing would soften his heart.

However, such coquettishness had no effect on Chu Xing at all. He didn't even stop walking and turned around to leave.

"Chu Yunxing! You'd better think this through. Do you really want to cause trouble for all of us because of that woman?" Qin Jizhi couldn't hold back any longer and directly cursed.

Chu Xing lowered his eyes and strode away.

His back view appeared calm, but in reality, his heart was already filled with anger.

He didn't want anyone to interfere with his affairs, not even his parents.

As expected, Liu Jiaer took the earliest flight abroad the next day. Chu Xing listened to Assistant Lu's report in his office without any reaction.

He said coldly, "No need to pay too much attention."

"Madam is also going abroad in three days to conduct project research. According to reliable sources, the disaster situation in the south has been ongoing these past few days. Do you think we should postpone the trip?"

The moment Chu Xing heard Song Mai's name, his expression immediately turned cold.

He unconsciously tapped the table with his fingertips, a small gesture he often made when thinking about difficult problems.

"No need, just book me a flight for three days from now."

The last-minute cancellation of the trip will definitely arouse Song Mai's suspicion.

Moreover, he knew that what Song Mai needed most right now was to improve her skills. As long as he was there, Song Mai wouldn't have any problems. This was Chu Xing's confidence, and the result of his hard work over the years.

Two days later, Song Mai happily packed her luggage, but looked at Chu Xing who was silently helping her find her belongings, and said helplessly.

"You look gloomy as soon as you come back."

"The disaster in the South has not been completely resolved. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go now?" At this moment, Chu Xing suddenly felt a little hesitant.

Although he wanted Song Mai to have a good training opportunity, the thought of the risks she might encounter upon arriving in the South made his heart clench with anxiety.

"It's alright. Since flights are allowed to enter, it means there's not much of a problem. Besides, the place I'm going to is quite a distance from the disaster area, so there won't be any issues."

Although the city Song Mai visited this time was not a disaster area, it was still closely connected to the disaster area.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. Besides, the company has prepared a lot of protective measures this time, and we've even contacted the embassy in advance, so there won't be any problems. If you're really worried about me, just contact me more often." Song Mai gently hugged Chu Xing.

She rested her chin gently on Chu Xing's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry about me, take care of yourself."

How could she not worry? Song Mai's brows furrowed, and her eyes revealed an undeniable concern.

He specifically instructed his assistant Lu to make all the necessary preparations, but his biggest worry was an unexpected event.

Unexpected events are unpredictable; how could Song Mai, with her small frame, possibly cope with them?

He gently gripped Song Mai's slender waist with his large hand and whispered, "You're too thin. You should eat more."

“That’s called staying in shape.” Song Mai pushed him away and continued packing her luggage.

Chu Xing barely slept that night.

Under the dim moonlight, he turned to look at the sleeping Song Mai. He reached out and gently stroked her face, sighing silently.

That carefree attitude is truly enviable.

After dropping Song Mai off at the airport, Chu Xing got up to board the plane, but suddenly received a call from Shen Que.

"Master Yun, a riot has broken out at a construction site, and I'm afraid we'll need your intervention. The person in charge of the other company is already waiting for you in the office. This matter cannot be delayed; the consequences could be dire."

Chu Xing frowned, unsure of what to do.

While Song Mai's situation is important, I also need to be responsible to the company.

He pondered for a long time, then said in a low voice, "I'm going back now."

The reason he returned to the company with such certainty was because he guessed that the other party wouldn't drag things out for much longer.

The purpose of making a big fuss is to demand an exorbitant amount; Chu Xing has dealt with far too many such situations.

After checking in, Song Mai followed the flight attendant's directions to her seat.

Looking at the spacious area, I couldn't help but think, "I didn't expect the company to book first class; they're really generous."

While I was still looking around, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"When did your curiosity become so great?"
