Chapter 21 The icy CEO actually likes this!
The atmosphere in the spacious and bright conference room was solemn.
Jiang Yuli's cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and several consecutive rings broke the silence.
This is almost the first time since Jiang Yuli returned to China to take charge of Baichuan Group.
His cell phone is always on silent mode during meetings.
The meeting continues.
Jiang Yuli picked up his phone, and all the messages popping up on the screen were from Su Lingyu:
Uncle, I feel a little uncomfortable.
【Uncle, I'm going back first. 】
Don't worry, I won't stand you up tonight.
She is leaving?
Jiang Yuli suddenly grabbed his phone and stood up.
The conference room fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"The acquisition plan was approved."
He announced in a cold voice and then strode out.
The moment the door closed, the tense atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed, and everyone's faces showed relieved smiles.
This acquisition plan, which has been brewing for half a year, has finally been finalized!
Oh my God, what a wonderful day today is!
"Guess who made the president leave so hastily?"
"Who is it?"
"Who else could it be...the delicate eldest daughter of the Su family, our Vice President Shen's ex-girlfriend!"
"Wow! This generation, this ethics... I didn't expect that icy President Jiang would actually like this!"
Jiang Yuli walked hurriedly with his long legs and pushed open the office door.
His eyes happened to meet Su Lingyu who was about to leave.
She pressed one hand to her chest, her face looking even paler than before.
The situation is not good.
Jiang Yuli felt a surge of self-blame in his heart. If he could be Su Lingyu's psychological support, she would not be suffering so much from separation anxiety at this moment.
"I send you."
There was unmistakable nervousness and worry in his voice.
"Thank you for your help."
Su Lingyu did not refuse and responded weakly.
Soon, the car was speeding on the road.
Jiang Yuli frowned slightly: "Is there anything I can do to help you feel better?"
Su Lingyu felt a headache and chest tightness. She subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Yuli and boldly took his arm. "Uncle, what do you think... should I go for compulsory treatment?"
"Being sick is already very uncomfortable. It's up to you to decide whether to seek treatment or not." Jiang Yuli's voice was low and gentle.
Su Lingyu rested her forehead on his arm uncomfortably, her voice as thin as a mosquito's: "You don't understand... I want to go to many places, but there are only a few people who make me feel safe. They also have their own lives, and it's impossible for them to be around me all their lives..."
She was worried that she would never be able to establish that kind of completely trusting and dependent relationship with others, and that she would never find someone who was willing to travel around the world with her, see the scenery, and record the beauty.
Jiang Yuli's usually cold eyes were now filled with pity and unspeakable emotions.
"sorry."
"Why are you apologizing again?" Su Lingyu forced herself to raise her head. "What did you do?"
"If I had made you feel safe earlier, you wouldn't be feeling so bad now."
"I don't blame you, it's all Chen Qiao's fault! He has done so much harm to others!" Her tone was filled with grievance and resentment.
Having just experienced a breakup, she couldn't fall in love with another person so quickly.
Shen Qiao's words today were harsh but true - pity and sympathy are not love.
She and Jiang Yuli seemed like two fellow patients who understood each other.
The disease is in one place.
Although I haven't established that kind of safe dependence on Jiang Yuli yet, the feeling of having him sitting next to me is indeed much better than when I was alone in the office just now.
Jiang Yuli's presence has a somewhat soothing effect.
The car stopped in front of the Su family villa and Su Lingyu got out in a hurry.
"Uncle, see you tonight!" she shouted, turning around.
Jiang Yuli stood beside the car, watching her disappear through the gate, and replied softly, "See you tonight."
Su Lingyu trotted into the living room and saw her brother Su Huainan and sister-in-law Lu Xiang sitting on the sofa.
She rushed over and hugged Lu Xiang's arm, like a little animal seeking warmth: "Sister-in-law, let me hold you close~ Woo~"
Lu Xiang stroked her hair gently.
Su Huainan pushed a glass of water in front of her and said, "You know you have separation anxiety, but you still run around everywhere. Tell me, you disappeared so early in the morning, where did you go?"
Su Lingyu felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to talk.
Su Huainan's face changed: "Su Lingyu, don't tell me you went to find Chen Qiao to reconcile? How can a man who abandoned you at the airport and strangled you be worthy of you? If you want to reconcile with him, don't recognize me as your brother!"
Lu Xiang immediately gave him a look that said "Don't talk nonsense".
Su Huainan didn't dare to offend any of the three women in his family - his mother, sister and pregnant wife, especially his wife who was blessed with the powerful buff of pregnancy.
He took a deep breath and softened his tone: "Brother, that's not what I meant. He is just not worthy of you."
Su Lingyu also recovered a little. Usually her discomfort was psychological, but in severe cases, her immunity would be weakened and she would actually get sick.
She picked up the water cup and said softly, "It's... Jiang Yuli."
"who?"
"Jiang Yuli."
Su Huainan frowned. "Do you like the Shen family so much? Did the Shen family man cast a spell on you?"
He really couldn't understand it. There were so many men in the world, first it was his nephew, and now he was targeting his uncle?
"Hmm..." Su Lingyu sipped the water. "I don't know, what do you think?"
Su Huainan held his forehead helplessly.
That's all.
Back then, little Su Lingyu was kidnapped and locked in a dark hut for three whole days. When she was rescued, she was filthy, her bright eyes filled with tears, and she burst into tears at the sight of them. The image was deeply imprinted in Su Huainan's mind.
Not surprisingly, he will never forget it in his life.
As for my sister, as long as she is happy.
"I don't know what kind you like, but I like someone like your sister-in-law." Su Huainan said, and gave Lu Xiang a loud kiss on the face, showing off and displaying his affection nakedly.
"That's too much!" Su Lingyu protested.
"Not everyone is as lucky as you two." She also wanted to have a relationship that would be successful at first try, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to be that lucky.
"Jiang Yuli has been abroad for eighteen years. In the two years since he returned to China, he has a reputation for being cold-blooded and ruthless. And you are a clingy little thing... Can you get along with him?" Su Huainan's worries deepened.
One is aloof and abstinent, keeping strangers away; the other is extremely insecure and longs for clingy companionship.
With Jiang Yuli's personality, could he tolerate Su Lingyu sticking to him and controlling him like a little pendant all day long?
Su Huainan felt uncertain.
"Brother, don't be too nervous. I'm just trying it out. I won't force you if it's not suitable. Don't worry." Su Lingyu promised sweetly.
Apart from the kidnapping in childhood, Su Lingyu's life was smooth sailing and she had never suffered any grievances, until she was cruelly abandoned at the airport by Shen Qiao.
Su Huainan asked tentatively: "Baby, I happen to be on vacation today. Can I accompany you to see a psychologist this afternoon?"
Su Lingyu's separation anxiety has never been cured, and the reasons are complicated.
She was reluctant to see a doctor because of her illness, and her family spoiled her too much, so she kept delaying treatment.
They also tried "desensitization" by leaving her alone and observing her secretly.
It was fine at first, but after a while she started crying, her face turned pale, and she even vomited once, which scared them so much that they rushed her to the hospital.
In the end, I can't bear to go down the path of compulsory treatment.
"No, no!" Su Lingyu shook her head repeatedly, "I promised Jiang Yuli we'd have dinner together tonight, and I already broke the promise yesterday."
"You didn't come downstairs for dinner last night." Lu Xiang reminded.
"Yes, sister-in-law! I put on full makeup! Full makeup! But... I fell asleep with full makeup on..." Su Lingyu still feels upset when she thinks about it now.
Given Jiang Yuli's personality, he must have waited in the restaurant for a long time last night.
"Poor baby." Lu Xiang touched her face distressedly, "Remember to call me sister-in-law next time. I'm in the third trimester of pregnancy now. I can't sleep all night. I'm very energetic."
The little guy in my belly looks very much like Su Huainan, as if he has endless energy.
"Yeah!" Su Lingyu nodded vigorously.
