Chapter 18: Visiting to Apologize
Regardless of his background, Qi Wang seems to be more of a natural king than that person.
He just stood in front of Chi Yuan, raised his eyebrows slightly, and with just a few words he could break down the defenses in her heart.
"so what?"
There seemed to be a fire burning in my chest.
How she wanted to scold him without caring about anything.
Anyway, the land has been acquired, so what if we get divorced like this?
But no, she couldn't be willful.
Qi Wang is a rising star in the business world. To offend him now is equivalent to offending a group of opportunistic businessmen in the entire business world.
It does not do any good to the Chi family.
"Life is long, and there will always be times when you need help. I'm asking for your help, but are you trying to control me for the rest of my life?"
There was a severe blockage in his throat, and the sound he made was hoarse with a slight cry tone.
Chi Yuan didn't want to show weakness in front of Qi Wang, but some emotions were beyond her control.
Ever since the night Qi Wang met Bai Qinghe, he has never given her a good look.
"Feeling wronged?"
The man's expression remained unchanged, and not even a reflection could be seen in his dark eyes.
"Even if I keep using this to control you, what can you do to me?"
The taut string in my heart suddenly broke at this moment.
Chi Yuan pushed the man in front of her desperately. When she couldn't push him away, she used her hands and feet. The man held her shoulders, so she bit his forearm directly.
Her teeth hurt a little through the thick and hard fabric of her suit, but she didn't care, as if all the strength of her body was hitting her teeth.
That's not enough.
"Heh! Kitten scratching."
Chi Yuan suddenly stopped and slowly looked up, with a playful look in the man's eyes.
Obviously, in his eyes, her counterattack was nothing more than scratching an itch.
"Why don't you continue?"
His thumb rubbed her chin, gradually moved to her lips, and brushed against some of the bright spots nearby.
The man's eyes darkened.
Chi Yuan was very familiar with this expression.
"asshole."
She stepped on the man's polished shoes and punched him in the chest.
After breaking free from the shackles, Chi Yuan turned around and ran, not daring to look back, as he didn't want to be looked down upon by him again.
Maybe it hit a bone, and the pain made her gasp.
But how could this little pain compare to the humiliation in her heart?
Even though the Chi family had wronged him in the past four years, she had never humiliated him to this extent.
Will he retaliate more severely?
Chi Yuan kept running, and finally she reached the side of the road, where she squatted down to catch her breath.
That kick just now finally let her vent her anger, but now she is a little scared.
After his breathing completely calmed down, Chi Yuan touched his forehead, with a hint of regret visible on his face.
A black car suddenly stopped in front of her.
The door opened automatically.
"Ms. Chi, please get in the car."
He is Qi Wang's assistant.
Chi Yuan looked up and said in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"
"Boss Qi sent me to take you home."
Chi Yuan took two steps back and said in a colder tone, "No need."
He just belittled her to the point of being worthless, and now he's pretending to be a good person?!
The assistant had no intention of leaving: "Ms. Chi, you are a smart person. It will do you no harm to listen to Mr. Qi."
After calming down, she naturally knew that what the assistant said was right.
But……
After a brief thought, Chi Yuan finally got in the car.
Facing Qi Wang, she can only compromise now.
The assistant just followed Qi Wang's instructions and sent her home without saying a word on the way.
When they arrived at the Chi family mansion, the assistant suddenly spoke, as if reminding her of something.
"Mr. Qi never intended to develop the manor land from the beginning. Even if you entrust someone else to bid for it, he will eventually return it intact after purchasing it. But it seems that Miss Chi does not appreciate it."
Chi Yuan rested his right hand on the door handle: "Everyone can say it after the fact."
Besides, she couldn't trust Qi Wang.
"If Mr. Qi hadn't given up the bid, do you think your client would have won? Miss Chi, you're taking advantage of me and still acting so ungrateful. I feel so sorry for Mr. Qi!"
Chi Yuan didn't want to listen anymore, so he opened the door and got out of the car.
She should have been happy that her ancestral land was saved.
But why do I still feel depressed?
His parents had already learned that the land had been saved, and had prepared a large table of food waiting for Chi Yuan to come back.
Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Wen Yurong asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did someone bully you?"
Chi Yuan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head: "Mom, should I thank Qi Wang? Or... apologize?"
…
After listening to Chi Yuan's explanation, the couple fell into deep thought.
When asking this question, Chi Yuan already had the answer in his mind.
But she was unwilling to give up.
After being humiliated by him like this, why should she take the initiative to come and thank him?
What Qi Wang said to her was clearly the truth...
Father Chi sighed, somewhat reluctantly: "Yuanyuan, from a businessman's perspective, you should thank him. He did give in on the bidding. Reciprocity is the norm. Not only should you thank him, but if Qi Wang needs help in the future, it is our responsibility as the Chi family to help him if we can."
Chi Yuan did not refute, but was stunned for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
"As for the apology you mentioned..." Father Chi paused, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her changed a little: "Yuanyuan, tell me the truth, are you in love with Qi Wang now?"
As if touching a forbidden zone, Chi Yuan blurted out, "Impossible! How could I like him?!"
Being quick to deny only makes things worse.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yuan found that his whole body was shaking.
She was afraid and terrified.
She never wants to experience the sadness that comes only when you like someone again in her life.
If she hadn't liked that person, her ill-fated relationship with Qi Wang wouldn't have happened.
Not to mention liking Qi Wang during such an extraordinary period...
Just thinking about it makes me suffocate.
I dare not like it, let alone like it.
Father Chi saw her series of reactions.
"Yuanyuan, go and apologize to Qi Wang." He said earnestly, "Dad doesn't like you to regret because of a momentary pride."
As parents, after living for most of their lives, they still know their children's personalities very well.
"Dad?" Chi Yuan was puzzled: "What does this have to do with my regret?"
Could it be that even her father thought she liked Qi Wang? And she just didn't realize it?
Father Chi did not point it out, but patiently explained: "We should leave a way out for others. Our Chi family did treat Qi Wang unfairly in the past. We apologize to avoid obstacles in the future. Dad doesn't want you to be wronged in front of him like you are now."
Thinking back on my experiences these days, nothing seemed too strange.
When Qi Wang was not around, she did the normal work of a waiter, not the drinking companionship she thought.
After all, he never really made things difficult for her.
After the discussion, Chi Yuan became even more confused.
She never could see through him.
"I... understand. I'll find a chance to personally thank you and apologize."
