Chapter 116 Bo Wei, what do you take me for?

Bo Wei entered the building and headed towards the elevator.

A tall figure stood there.

Her heart tightened, and she paused slightly.

The sound of high heels stopped abruptly, and Li He looked at her.

Bo Wei met his gaze and instinctively looked away.

Under that gaze, she felt immense pressure. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly stepped forward.

Li He withdrew his gaze and stepped into the elevator.

Bo Wei followed behind.

An arm reached out and pressed the close button, but instead of moving away, it trapped her between him and the elevator.

"Wife?" Li He stared into her eyes, his handsome face getting closer and closer. "You call me that so intimately. Are you married? Is it legal? Why are you calling me that like that? Aren't you afraid the police will arrest you?"

His words were too childish, so Bo Wei didn't reply. She just pushed against his arm to stop him from getting any closer. "President Li, this is a normal way for couples to address each other."

"President Li? A couple!" Li He's brows furrowed with anger. "Bo Wei, you're so unpredictable, one day sunny and the next cloudy. Are you a hermaphrodite?"

Bo Wei lowered her head and pursed her lips, "I'm sorry, I can't keep what I said before."

Li He grabbed her chin with one hand, forcing her to look at him, his eyes cold. "Bo Wei, what do you take me for?"

"sorry."

"What's so great about him?" He slammed his hand on the elevator wall, startling her. "Don't play the 'I'm caught in the middle' game with me."

Bo Wei couldn't voice her objections; she was truly caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to say to quell his anger.

“It’s only been one night. You said you wanted to break up yesterday, and you’ve already changed your mind today. Do you like someone so easily? Is my affection, Li He’s affection, worthless in your eyes? Can you just casually disregard it? Or can you take back your feelings for me at any time?” He stared straight at her, his eyes demanding.

Bo Wei knew that there was no point in saying anything now.

She hurt two men at the same time.

She's a mess, she lives a mess, so she shouldn't have, shouldn't have, had that broken heart.

Her throat tightened, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she suppressed them.

Of the three, she was the one least entitled to complain.

"I'm sorry." She caught her breath. "Ji Mingxiu and his family saved my life. His grandfather even gave me all his savings when I was hospitalized. They are all very kind people. Now, Grandpa Ji is hospitalized and his condition seems very bad. He wants to see me, which means something that is self-evident. I don't want to, and can't, hurt his family at this time. Otherwise, it would be too ungrateful."

"Then hurt me?" He released his arm, took two steps back, his eyes filled with disappointment and coldness. "Bo Wei, do you know what's most hateful about you? It's that you're always afraid of hurting others."

The elevator had already arrived. Li He pressed the open button, strode out, and his departing figure was resolute and cold.

Watching his retreating figure, her heart felt as if it were breaking.

As the elevator doors closed, she leaned against the elevator wall, squatted down helplessly, and let tears well up in her eyes.

She knew she was the most hateful one, but what could she do now?

Does she break up with Ji Mingxiu and then ask him to cooperate in putting on an act in front of Grandpa Ji and his family?

Putting aside the fact that Ji Mingxiu wouldn't agree, how could he possibly bring himself to say it?

As soon as Jiang Chengli entered Li He's office, he felt an extremely oppressive and violent atmosphere.

All I could see was President Li's dark eyes, staring intently at the computer screen, looking at something.

His tie was ripped off and carelessly tossed on the table, and the buttons of his white shirt were undone all the way up to his chest.

This is clearly a case of being consumed by rage.

"Mr. Li, you wanted to see me?"

“There’s a project overseas that’s short-staffed. We can’t just hire people from outside. You need to arrange for two people to be transferred there. Those who are willing to go will be promoted and given a raise. Those who don’t comply with the arrangements will be let go.”

The printer made two beeping sounds, and Li He handed him the printed document.

Jiang Chengli took it and quickly read it.

Ji Mingxiu, this name...

"Yes, Mr. Li, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Having received the task, Jiang Chengli quickly left, fearing that President Li's anger would affect him.

Bo Wei didn't go upstairs all morning.

Having reached this point, resignation is unavoidable.

"Weiwei, let's go." Wendy called out to her as she got up during lunchtime.

"Okay, you guys go ahead." She quickly pressed the shortcut key to exit, not wanting to be seen.

Once everyone left, the office became quiet.

She stared at the short resignation letter for a long time.

It was a mistake for her to come here, and it's a mistake for her to leave now.

I gave a sad smile and clicked print.

The office was quiet, with the printer whirring softly.

She got up, took the resignation letter, and put it in the drawer.

She picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhao Xiaoyu calling.

Zhao Xiaoyu?

Bo Wei, Ji Mingxiu's colleague, answered the call.

An urgent voice came from the other end immediately, "Weiwei, Lao Ji just fainted. We've already called 120, and he's at the hospital now. The doctor is examining him. I thought I should let you know."

Bo Wei's expression tensed instantly. She took her bag out of the closet and walked quickly outside. "What happened to him? Which hospital?"

"I don't know yet. She just stood up and suddenly fainted. You should come and see for yourself to know for sure."

I took a taxi to the hospital and saw Zhao Xiaoyu at the door of the ward.

He rushed forward and asked, "How is he? Is he alright?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Zhao Xiaoyu immediately shook her head, "It's nothing, the doctor said it was caused by overwork, just rest for a couple of days and you'll be fine."

Exhausted, Bo Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way here, she had a lot of random thoughts, but thankfully nothing serious happened.

In the ward, Ji Mingxiu had already woken up and naturally heard the conversation between the two.

Seeing her enter, he smiled at her and gently reassured her, "It's alright, don't worry."

He was alone in the ward. Bo Wei walked over and sat down by his bedside.

"I'm glad you're okay. I told you to take the day off this morning."

"I never expected this to happen." He said somewhat awkwardly.

Neither of them had lunch, so Bo Wei ordered takeout.

After finishing her meal, Ji Mingxiu needed to catch up on sleep and rest, while she had to keep an eye on the IV drip.

He then directly asked Jiang Chengli for half a day off via WeChat, saying he wouldn't be going to the company in the afternoon.

Jiang Chengli scratched his head and agreed.

I went upstairs, knocked on the door, and went inside.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Li He paused in signing, then continued his work with a blank expression.

But when he heard the footsteps clearly, he looked over with a cold gaze and saw that the pen in his hand was being gripped tightly.

Jiang Chengli felt a chill run down his spine when he met President Li's cold gaze.

"President Li, this is a brief outline of the afternoon's meeting. Please take a look."

Li He didn't answer. "It seems you're lacking in workload. You even have time to deal with such a small matter."

Jiang Chengli hurriedly explained, "This matter was originally Secretary Bo's responsibility, but she took leave this afternoon."

"A request for leave? What kind of leave?"

"Her boyfriend fainted, and she's taking care of him at the hospital."

Jiang Chengli could see with his naked eye that President Li's expression darkened even more.
