Ji Yan stood dejectedly in front of the French windows, looking at the rain outside.

The scene of Yingying kicking him out and the words she had said to him kept replaying in his mind.

She said that people can make mistakes, but not all mistakes deserve to be forgiven.

She said that when something is right in front of you, you don't know how to cherish it, and once you miss it, it will no longer belong to you.

Yingying, I still can't believe that I actually fell in love with you. I thought this abnormal feeling would slowly dissipate, but it didn't. It has even pushed me to the brink of collapse. What should I do to make you forgive me?

In the next room, with the same floor-to-ceiling windows, Ji Fuying held a teacup and stared intently at the raindrops that kept falling on the glass.

Tears welled in her eyes, and her usually cool and aloof face was filled with clear worry and sorrow.

Ji Yan, do you know? From the moment I could no longer call you "Big Brother," I was utterly disappointed in you. Your feelings are a burden and a source of pressure for me.

Once your heart is wounded, how can you properly love someone?

She can't do it, she really can't.

That night, both of them suffered from insomnia until dawn.

Ji Fuying put on sunglasses to hide her exhausted expression, and only took them off after entering the office, much to Xu Nuo's surprise.

"Wow, Fuying, did you go out and steal chickens and dogs last night?"

"Heh, it's even worse than that."

It's said that love that comes late is worth less than grass, and the same goes for a confession that comes late.

It's clearly useless, yet it makes people lose their appetite and can't sleep.

"By the way, don't schedule anything for me after get off work today, I already have plans."

Ji Fuying remembered that she had made an appointment with Lu Ci and Lu Ang, and she knew she would definitely need to set aside time for them that evening.

"Okay, I understand. I don't have any scheduled activities today, so I can go home after I finish approving the documents."

"That's perfect. Xu Nuo, I need your help with something."

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just say it."

"There's a girl in the design department named Li Muning. Could you help me see if she's been bullied at work lately?"

Both of them were close to her, and since Xiao Le has already had an accident, Mu Ning probably won't have it too easy either.

She was afraid of worrying herself, so even if she was bullied, she wouldn't easily seek her help.

"This is no small matter. I'll go right away."

After Xu left, Ji Fuying began to focus on her work for the day.

Suddenly, a special document appeared in front of her; it was about the victory celebration banquet on Floating Firefly Island.

She was now in charge of this whole matter, even though just a few days ago she had asked her second brother to help her find invitations.

Design Department.

Li Muning went to the tea room to get some water as usual, when suddenly a cup of scalding hot coffee was splashed in her face.

She quickly bent down to avoid the coffee, but her forehead hit the counter, leaving a red and swollen mark.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, it was too hot and I couldn't hold it."

The woman standing next to Ji Yingying covered her mouth and said insincerely.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Even with her good temper, she couldn't stand it anymore. Yesterday, the water accidentally splashed on her back, and today it happened again. How could there be so many accidents?

"Why are you angry? It hasn't even been splashed yet!"

“Wang Yan, if you keep acting like a bully by Ji Yingying’s side, one day you’ll regret it.”

Li Muning knew perfectly well that Wang Yan was deliberately targeting Ji Yingying in order to curry favor with her.

Unfortunately, her plan backfired; Ji Yingying was not the real heiress of the Ji family at all.

She went to such lengths to bully others for the sake of a fake heiress; when she finds out the truth, she'll be too ashamed to lift her head.

"You bitch, you dare to sow discord between me and Yingying? I'll beat you to death!"

Wang Yan was originally a willful and capricious person, and her arrogance only increased after she started following Ji Yingying.

She rushed forward and grabbed Li Muning's hair, intending to slap her face from both sides.

Just then, a very abrupt sound came from behind.

"Excuse me, is Li Muning here?"

Xu Nuo went to the design department and asked someone outside. She learned that Li Muning was in the tea room, so she made a special trip over.

She never expected to witness this malicious bullying. Her intuition told her that Li Muning must be inside.

"What do you want with Li Muning?"

Jiang Xuan deliberately blocked her view, preventing her from seeing Li Muning who was about to be beaten.

"Are you Li Muning? If not, please step aside and let Li Muning come out to talk to me." Xu Nuo's words were still relatively polite.

"You're not part of our design department, so why should she come out to see you just because you want to?"

"Which company rule says other departments can't come to the design department? Li Muning, are you there?"

Li Muning knew that Fu Ying should send someone to find her. She struggled to break free from Wang Yan's hand and was about to run out when Jiang Xuan blocked her way.

During this delay, Wang Yan grabbed her hair again.

"Go back, but don't tell Fuying about this."

Last time, in order to save Xiao Le, she put Fu Ying on the verge of such danger. This time, she absolutely couldn't trouble her again.

"you……"

Xu Nuo finally understood why Fu Ying, even though she was already the general manager of the Ji Group, still cared about her and worried about her so much.

Li Muning deserves Fu Ying's help.

Xu Nuo's patience was running out. "I'll say it one more time, release Li Muning."

Fu Ying invited her over because she trusted her enough, and she absolutely could not betray that trust.

"Such arrogance! Who are you?"

"The general manager's assistant promised that if you don't let her go, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Assistant General Manager?"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Yan's hand instantly loosened, after all, she couldn't afford to offend such a powerful figure.

If she complains about her to the general manager, she'll lose her job.

"What a loser. He's just a general manager, what's there to be afraid of? Yingying is the daughter of the Ji family, the entire company belongs to the Ji family."

"Hahaha, what? The Ji family's daughter? Did I hear that right?"

Xu Nuo couldn't help but laugh out loud. No wonder he was so arrogant; he had gotten a sense of accomplishment from passing off inferior goods as superior ones.

"What are you laughing at? Do you believe you won't even keep your position as the general manager's assistant?"

"Let me see if you can't keep it up. All you can do is talk big."

Xu Nuo walked directly in front of Wang Yan, forcefully slapped her arm away, and pulled Li Muning to her side.

"Yingying, she looks down on you so much, why don't you fire her?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Ji Yingying in disbelief. Ji Yingying had really stepped on her head like that, yet she didn't react at all.

"So, do you want to fire me? Otherwise, I'm leaving."

Xu Nuo looked at Ji Yingying provocatively.
