Is this an attempt to evict them?
Liu Yunqi rolled her eyes at him, then picked up her bag and swaggered away.
Jiang Xiaoling was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. Even now that she's out, her heart is still pounding wildly.
Although she hadn't done anything wrong, the feeling of being caught in the act was unpleasant, especially since it was Liu Yunqi, who had never liked her.
She bought another bottle of mineral water outside, and after taking a few sips, she saw Liu Yunqi come downstairs.
She looked quite displeased, as if she were a princess and no one could bully her.
Jiang Xiaoling sat in the shade of a tree in the corner, and luckily Liu Yunqi didn't notice her.
She drank a few more sips of water, thinking that going up now would be pointless and would only lead to Xu Yi catching her, so she simply skipped work.
Although this is not good, there is no other way. Xu Yi is pestering her, and Liu Yunqi has always been unhappy with her. After thinking it over, this is the only way.
Jiang Xiaoling went straight home and, because she was a little tired, she fell asleep immediately.
I was woken up by the phone ringing at night.
She answered groggily, "Who is this?"
"Come here quickly, Xu Shi is dying." It was Xu Yi's voice.
Jiang Xiaoling was so startled that she jumped out of bed, hurriedly tied her hair up, put on a simple cotton-padded jacket, and went out.
She used to never want to take a car to work, but now it was already 10 p.m. and Xu Yi sounded quite anxious on the phone, so she didn't care and just took a taxi there.
It was the same conference room as last time, and there was no one else there except Xu Haicang and Xu Yi.
Jiang Xiaoling walked over quietly and noticed that both of them looked serious, so she had a general idea of what was going on.
Jiang Xiaoling had to admit that this was the first time she had seen Xu Yi sitting here so calmly. He kept his head down and didn't say a word, so quiet that it was as if it weren't him.
A long silence followed before Xu Yi finally spoke: "Liu Yunqi came to see me this afternoon."
Jiang Xiaoling felt a pang of unease. Was he going to bring up their past relationship? There was no reason for it. If he were to say something like this at this crucial moment, it would be incredibly thoughtless.
He continued, "She said she could help us get through this difficult time, but on the condition that..."
He glanced at Jiang Xiaoling.
Her eyes happened to meet Xu Yi's, and something flashed through her mind.
"What are the conditions?" Xu Haicang asked anxiously.
Xu Yi kept looking at Jiang Xiaoling. Liu Yunqi hadn't revealed the exact conditions, but it was easy to guess that it was for him to marry her. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to test Jiang Xiaoling by revealing this to others.
He coughed and said, "The condition is that I marry her."
After speaking, he stared intently at Jiang Xiaoling, hoping to glean some information from her face. But whether she was genuinely indifferent or just pretending too well, her face remained calm throughout, devoid of any emotion.
Xu Haicang was clearly more anxious than they were: "Then marry her. Anyway, she has connections, and a woman like that isn't bad enough for you. Besides, we only have her to rely on right now."
Xu Yi's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xiaoling: "Then I'll talk to her again tomorrow."
Xu Haicang seemed to see a glimmer of hope and immediately agreed.
Jiang Xiaoling didn't hear what they said next very clearly. She only knew that she couldn't stay there any longer. The father and son were talking about everything related to Liu Yunqi, and she had no interest in listening to them.
late at night
Jiang Xiaoling took a taxi back alone. She felt like she had come for nothing; not only had she spent so much on the fare, but Xu Yi had also called her over to listen to him and Liu...
