Chapter 16 Even Brothers Have to Settle Accounts
The sweet voice was carried by the wind and blended into the night, as if it had never appeared.
Ye Ranran did not stay beside her. After passing her, he walked straight into the darkness.
Chi Yuan did not turn around, nor did she look at the car parked a few meters away from her.
I didn't do anything, but everything seemed to have changed.
The car she called was less than a kilometer away from her, and Chi Yuan waited there, her eyes gradually becoming empty.
Until the whistle sounded.
The yellow light inside the car was still on. Qi Wang frowned slightly and honked his horn to urge her to get in the car quickly.
Chi Yuan simply ignored it.
The man in the car seemed to finally realize something was wrong and got out to pull her, but was quickly avoided.
Qi Wang's face suddenly darkened: "What do you mean?"
Chi Yuan didn't intend to pay any attention and wanted to bypass him directly, but of course he was not allowed.
"What are you making a fuss about?"
Only then did Chi Yuan meet the man's angry eyes.
"Making a fuss?" She laughed at herself. She had so much to say that it almost poured out.
But she held back.
Now they are in the cooling-off period for divorce. As a couple about to divorce, what qualifications do they have to interfere with his behavior?
"If you think you're making a fuss, then so be it." Chi Yuan took a few steps back and suddenly bowed deeply to the man, which caught Qi Wang off guard.
"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your care these days. After the auction ends tomorrow, I will go and sort out the divorce matters and will not delay you any longer."
Because she spoke with her head down, she naturally didn't see the surprise that flashed across the man's eyes. She took this opportunity to escape from his obstruction and quickly got into the car.
This was also the first time she took a taxi home in the more than half a month she worked at the club.
I spent a little more money, but I didn't feel like I was living under someone else's roof.
Even Chi Yuan herself didn't know what she was thinking about.
But she knew very well that if she had known from the beginning that Qi Wang had sent Ye Ranran home before coming to pick her up, she would rather not save the fare and would rather walk home than get in his car.
Before arriving home, Chi Yuan sorted out his emotions, and after returning to the bedroom, he immediately talked about the auction with Bai Qinghe.
She had transferred all the money in the check and the money that Qi Wang had transferred to her in batches to Bai Qinghe's account.
"Brother Bai, this is all I can get for now. If it's not enough, you can only owe me money first, and I'll find a way later."
During the call, Qi Wang sent her a message, but she was busy discussing plans and had no time to check it.
"Don't worry, I have enough liquid funds to buy this piece of land. Don't worry about it."
Bai Qinghe paused and said tentatively, "Yuanyuan, you don't have to be present at tomorrow's auction. Just leave everything to me."
Chi Yuan also hesitated about whether to attend the event.
Based on the previous relationship between the Chi family and the Bai family, some people would have speculated about Bai Qinghe's reasons for bidding. If she were still present, she would definitely be suspected.
If Bai Qinghe's eligibility to bid is cancelled, all efforts will be in vain.
Chi Yuan was about to agree, but Bai Qinghe told her something else.
"Qingcheng's plane will land tomorrow morning. I think she will be very happy if you go to pick her up."
Chi Yuan couldn't help but be surprised: "Qingcheng returned to China?"
This girl didn't reveal any information at all.
"She asked me to keep it a secret, wanting to give you a surprise. Now, if you go to pick her up, you can give her a surprise."
Chi Yuan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"Leave it to me. I'll come right over after I meet up with Qingcheng."
She entrusted someone to participate in the auction, so she couldn't really leave him alone.
After agreeing on everything, the two hung up the phone one after another, and only then did Chi Yuan see the several messages sent by Qi Wang.
This was the first time he sent several messages in a row since the Chi family incident.
"You owe me an explanation for what happened today."
"You'd better find a chance to explain clearly."
"I won't hold back when bidding."
…
baffling.
The fire in Chi Yuan's heart had originally subsided a little, but when he saw these almost threatening words, the flames rose again.
It was the middle of the night, so she thought about it and decided to reply.
"Do I need a reason to reject you?"
She didn't want to admit that it was because of Ye Ranran, as if that could cover up her embarrassment.
There was no reply from the other party, probably he had gone to rest.
Chi Yuan ignored him, turned off the lights and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, she woke up before the auction started.
The entire auction will be broadcast live, so even if she is not present, she can know everything.
Bai Qingcheng's plane landed at 10:30 in the morning. Chi Yuan packed up simply and took a taxi to the airport.
On the way, she watched the live broadcast with her mobile phone.
To her surprise, Bai Qinghe's bidding went very smoothly, and there were only a few people who rushed to bid at the price he quoted.
And... Qi Wang seemed to have remained silent.
Chi Yuan originally thought that he would only get involved at the last moment, but Qi Wang did not show up until Bai Qinghe acquired the land.
The car just arrived at the airport.
Despite his doubts, Chi Yuan had to pause the live broadcast and look for Bai Qingcheng after getting off the car.
The plane usually lands earlier than expected, and at this time there are less than ten minutes left until half past ten.
Chi Yuan simply called Bai Qingcheng directly.
As the call was connected, another ringtone rang out under the scorching sun.
There were three or five people between the two of them, and just dialing the phone was not enough to tell where she was.
It wasn't until the call was picked up that Chi Yuan saw the woman in the purple dress with a look of surprise on her face. She immediately ran over and hugged her to her shock.
"Wish?"
Bai Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood: "My brother asked you to come, right? Damn it! I hid the surprise for so long, and in the end you got to surprise me."
Chi Yuan was so excited that she almost cried: "Being able to see you again is the biggest surprise. Let's go, I'll take you home first."
"I remember there wasn't an auction this morning? Aren't we going to see the results first?"
Chi Yuan shook his phone and said, "Brother Bai has successfully acquired the land. He just sent me the agreement and it has been signed."
This means that the land has been acquired.
Only then did Bai Qingcheng agree to go home with her.
Because her return was kept secret, even the Bai family did not know about her return, and naturally no servants came to pick her up.
She refused to take a taxi home and suggested taking the bus, because she wanted to stay with Chi Yuan for a while longer.
"Uncle and aunt are really something. The Chi family has encountered such a big problem, why don't they ask father for help? Considering our many years of friendship, father will definitely help out."
Chi Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Maybe it's really been too long since we last contacted each other, so my parents didn't feel comfortable asking. Besides, brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's precisely because we have a good relationship that they don't want to ruin the friendship because of money."
If she had no other choice, she would not have asked Bai Qingcheng this.
"But I think that good friends and partners are different after all."
Having said that, Chi Yuan understood that Mr. Bai's failure to help in this matter had already revealed his attitude.
