Chapter 21 Shen Yubai, it’s too late
Shen Yubai hugged Li Ruochu tightly and whispered in her ear: "Chuchu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have given the project to Gu Qiuying before. If I had given it to you earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
His eyes were filled with regret, and his forehead wrinkled slightly, as if he was blaming himself for his original decision.
Li Ruochu struggled hard, his face full of anger and disdain, and responded coldly: "It's worth knowing earlier. You deserve to pay the money."
She knew clearly that the cost of purchasing materials must have reached a huge amount of millions, and this money was now undoubtedly counted in Shen Yubai's name.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of mocking smile, although this little money was nothing to Shen Yubai.
But that feeling was like letting Shen Yubai eat a fly, and it lingered in his heart.
Shen Yubai hugged her tighter, as if he could keep Li Ruochu like this. His voice was almost pleading: "Chuchu, you didn't want to talk to me these past few days. I know you're angry about Gu Qiuying's matter. Don't worry, I won't let her affect our relationship again in the future."
During this period, Li Ruochu lived in the guest room, and he tossed and turned in bed every night, unable to fall asleep.
In the past, he could only fall asleep peacefully while holding Li Ruchu in his arms. That kind of secure feeling has now become a luxury.
He knew very well that what happened between him and Gu Qiuying had deeply hurt Li Ruchu, and he felt filled with guilt. He secretly vowed to compensate her.
"Chen Yubai, it's too late!" Li Ruochu gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
When Shen Yubai heard this, he was shocked and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
He quickly let go of Li Ruochu, held her shoulders tightly with both hands, looked at her anxiously, and explained: "It's not too late, it's not too late for everything!"
Li Ruochu shook his head gently, looked at Shen Yubai calmly, and said lightly: "Shen Yubai, I will resign voluntarily after this project is over. It will be the last respect for our relationship as husband and wife."
After all, they have been in love for so many years, and she doesn't want to make things too ugly. She still wants to leave each other with the last bit of dignity.
"Chu Chu, do you have to be like this? I just made a mistake that all men in the world would make. Why can't you give me a chance?" Shen Yubai was unwilling, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
He felt that he had just made a mistake that most men would make, and he didn't understand why Li Ruchu was so determined.
When Li Ruochu heard this, the anger in his heart was ignited again.
She frowned, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and then she pushed Shen Yubai away with force, shouting: "Chen Yubai, don't disgust all the men in the world, not all men are like you!"
"So, you have your eyes on Feng Yizhou, right?" Shen Yubai asked in a questioning tone, his eyes full of suspicion and jealousy.
He had seen more than once that Feng Yizhou looked at Li Ruochu with something strange in his eyes.
And regarding this project, it was obvious that Feng Yizhou was deliberately helping Li Ruchu.
He admitted that every time he saw Feng Yizhou being gentle to Li Ruochu, he felt like there were millions of ants gnawing at his heart, and he went crazy with jealousy.
But he really wanted to live a good life with Chuchu and didn't want to lose her.
"Are you trying to throw dirty water on me and Mr. Feng? Don't say that there is nothing wrong with me and Mr. Feng. Even if there is, you have no right to blame me."
Li Ruochu's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire. He stared at Shen Yubai intently, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
After saying that, she turned around without hesitation and strode towards the door.
She still had a lot of important things waiting for her to deal with, and she really didn't have the time to argue endlessly with Shen Yubai here.
Shen Yubai looked at Li Ruchu's resolute back as he left. The anger in his heart exploded instantly like a ignited gunpowder barrel.
His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, like an enraged beast.
With a "bang", he suddenly stretched out his arm and swept all the documents, tea cups and other things on the table to the ground.
Outside the office, Li Ruochu heard the loud noise and paused slightly, with a sneer of disdain on his face.
She secretly despised him in her heart: Humph, when he gets angry he just loses his temper and throws things, what a lack of manners!
She didn't even turn her head, but just glanced at the trembling Chen Chen beside her, and said calmly: "Go in and pack your things!"
When Chen Chen heard this, an embarrassment appeared on his face. He secretly glanced at the closed office door and listened to the roars coming from inside, feeling frightened.
He knew that Mr. Shen was in a state of extreme anger at the moment, and he didn't dare to go in rashly and get into trouble.
Chen Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but closed it again and just lowered his head helplessly.
Li Ruochu was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Chen's hesitation. She sighed softly, shook her head, and walked towards her office.
At the same time, on the company's rooftop, a gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.
Gu Qiuying was wearing a black dress and standing on the edge of the rooftop. Her hair was flying wildly in the wind, covering half of her face.
Next to her stood a burly man wearing a tattered black jacket, with messy hair and a ruffian look on his face.
The man lowered his head slightly, with a respectful smile on his face, but a sly light flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Miss Gu, what do you want me to do?"
Gu Qiuying turned around slowly, the wind blew her hair away, revealing her fierce face.
Her eyes narrowed into slits, and there was a cold light flashing in them, like a poisonous snake ready to strike.
"You guys did a good job in everything I asked you to do before. I asked you to come here today because I want you to help me kidnap someone!" Her voice was low and cold, as if it came from hell.
When the man heard this, his originally depressed spirit instantly perked up, and his eyes flashed with excitement, like a shark that smelled blood.
He took a step forward, rubbed his hands, and asked anxiously: "Miss Gu, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
A greedy look appeared on his face, as if he had seen a large sum of money beckoning to him.
"There is a person named Li Ruochu in the Shen Group. As long as you kidnap her and find a few men to lock her up, I don't need to tell you what happens next!" Gu Qiuying gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.
When the man heard this, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. He licked his lips, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Gu, this is not a simple matter. What if we are discovered..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Qiuying's cold eyes.
Gu Qiuying snorted coldly, took out a check from her bag, waved it in front of the man, and said, "As long as you do a good job, the money will be yours."
The man's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was instantly filled with a flattering smile. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Miss Gu, these things are normal for us, just wait and see!" After that, he couldn't wait to reach out for the check, but Gu Qiuying suddenly pulled the check back and said coldly, "The money is yours when the matter is settled."
The man smiled awkwardly and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Miss Gu, I'll get ready right away." After that, he turned and left in a hurry, his steps hurried and flustered.
Gu Qiuying looked at the man's departing back, her eyes filled with viciousness: "Li Ruochu, I want you to know the consequences of offending me!"
