Chapter 119: Unfamiliar Xia Yiqing felt a strange pain in her eyes and blinked...
Xia Yiqing felt an inexplicable dryness in front of her eyes and blinked twice. Fortunately, her tear incontinence was not triggered at this time.
Xia Yiqing managed to put on a forced smile, "Miss Gongsun, since you have something to do, go ahead and do it."
The words in her mind, "Can you please ask if Third Master is doing okay?" were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out loud.
Facing someone who seemed to be mocking her, Xia Yiqing could only refrain from retorting, but she could no longer give in.
Luo Miao really didn't want to offend either side, so he raised the Blue Mountain coffee beans in his hand and said, "Miss Gongsun, it's not that the Third Master doesn't want to see Mr. Xia, it's just that he's really busy.
"Well, give me the things and I'll take them upstairs. Please go back."
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yang glared.
"This is the soup that the old lady made. She told me to personally deliver it to the Third Master. Who are you to deliver something for me?"
Xia Yiqing is not a very kind person. She will judge the situation and know that she can't afford to offend Gongsun Yang, so she will make herself thick-skinned and endure a few scoldings.
But perhaps it was because of a genetic mutation when her parents gave birth to her, Xia Yiqing has a rebellious spirit in her bones.
She had previously teamed up with Su Huanhuan to fight a small group of troublemakers in the school. Now, that passion inexplicably came out again to cause trouble.
"Secretary Luo, please speak nicely. Why are you humiliating him like this?" Xia Yiqing took a step forward and met Gongsun Yang's gaze without fear.
"If you don't want to, just say it nicely. Secretary Luo has been with the Third Master for many years. I'm afraid that even if the Third Master knew what Miss Gongsun said, he would be unhappy."
"That's none of your business."
Gongsun Yang was wearing a thick coat, through which her snow-white skin was faintly visible. Thinking about the reason why the old lady asked her to deliver the soup, she roughly realized that it might be a beauty trap.
It is said that people of the same kind understand each other best. How could Xia Yiqing not know this? Gongsun Yang's delicate skin, which seemed to be there and not there, was like a small knife, gently cutting the edge of Xia Yiqing's heart.
It's not serious, but it will leave a small cut that bleeds from time to time.
"Even if he has been with the Third Master for a long time, he is still a dog. Also, I really don't like your pitiful look. Who would help you?" Gongsun Yang took a step forward and spoke in a sharp voice, which happened to be heard by everyone present.
"Get out of here now."
Xia Yiqing clenched her fists hanging by her side.
She pressed her nails tightly against her fingertips, and only when she felt the piercing pain did Xia Yiqing slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the arrogant Gongsun Yang in front of her, Xia Yiqing repeatedly reminded herself that this is the result of not being strong enough. He has the entire company as a foundation, but she does not.
Gongsun Yang actually laughed to himself.
Seeing Xia Yiqing take a step to the side, she casually brushed her hair, which had just been carefully styled, and said nonchalantly, "Get out of here. Is this the correct posture? You've offended me, so you must apologize anyway."
More and more people gathered around, but they were blocked outside by a few people and were asked to put down their mobile phones and not take photos or record videos.
Gongsun Yang did not come alone, she was followed by three or five ferocious bodyguards.
Gongsun Yang's beautiful eyes and eyebrows had lost their non-competitive gentleness at this moment, and were now filled with a bit of contempt and disdain. The way he looked at Xia Yiqing was no different from the way he looked at the garbage on the roadside.
Slowly, Xia Yiqing heard the words, "Then bow to me, A-li, and show President Xia how to do it."
A burly man with muscles all over his body and a height of nearly 1.9 meters came from behind and bowed firmly to Gongsun Yang at an angle of nearly 120 degrees.
Everyone's eyes were like heaters, coming from all directions and roasting Xia Yiqing on the fire.
Whispers could be heard from time to time. Every time Xia Yiqing raised her eyes, she would meet a pair of surprised eyes. They seemed to be saying, how did you offend Miss Gongsun?
This is actually unreasonable.
If we could reconstruct the events and analyze them in detail, it would not be certain who was right or wrong. However, the adult world is so cruel that it only considers power and relationships, regardless of right or wrong.
Gongsun Yang and her family are strong, but Xia Yiqing and Luo Miao combined are still weak, that's it.
At this moment, Luo Miao stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Gongsun Yang. "Miss Gongsun, I'm sorry. Mr. Xia is also a guest of our Qi family. Please don't make it difficult for me."
"Don't make it difficult for me," Gongsun Yang stretched his right hand horizontally in a straight line, with his left elbow resting on the edge, the back of his hand supporting his chin, a very standard posture of a superior looking down.
"Then I'm going to make it difficult for you, Ah Li, please bow for President Xia."
Her eyelids slowly drooped, and Xia Yiqing held her breath, unable to let it out. When the silent man came in front of her, her eyes widened, with red bloodshot veins clearly visible in them.
Even though she was already at a great disadvantage, an indescribable pride still supported Xia Yiqing and prevented her from kneeling down and begging for mercy.
This is not the first time Xia Yiqing has been targeted.
On the bright side, she's very experienced.
Those who bully the weak will most likely become more aggressive.
Once you agree to a request, they will always find fault with you and make even more unreasonable demands until you are unable to do so. Then they will start to mock you and embarrass you in public.
Sometimes, even people with no temper will be motivated when they are forced into a desperate situation.
What's more, Xia Yiqing already had an experience of being unyielding.
"Miss Gongsun is bringing her bodyguards to the Qi family to cause trouble today. This will not benefit anyone. Miss Gongsun, are you trying to use the old lady as an excuse to drive a wedge between her and the Third Master?"
The light pink coat on the girl was not very expensive, but it was one that Qi Hanmu had given her before.
At this moment, the pair of purple grape-like eyes were wide open, like a mirror, reflecting all the ugliness in the world.
And Xia Yiqing's pupils, which were clear to the point of being transparent, also reflected Gongsun Yang's exasperated look at the moment.
"Who told you to talk nonsense here? Ah Li, shut her mouth and kick her out!"
The three or five bodyguards had been following Gongsun Yang since childhood and were very loyal. Upon hearing the order, they rushed forward and prepared to twist Xia Yiqing's shoulders behind her back to push her out.
"stop."
A faint voice came from the corner. It was Qi Hanmu.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair. His suit was still expensive and was hand-made, but it looked a little loose on him.
If you listen closely, Qi Hanmu's breathing with a slight wheezing sound will be very obvious.
In order to come down and see people, he deliberately did not wear a nasal oxygen tube.
Her face was pale and her lips were probably bloodless. Qi Hanmu originally didn't think that appearance was something to boast about or feel inferior about, but the moment Xia Yiqing looked at him, his heart trembled.
Qi Hanmu's hands hidden under the blanket also began to tremble slightly.
It was a very strange feeling, and Qi Hanmu couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart.
He clearly didn't know Xia Yiqing, so why did his hands go out of control and slide down the wheelchair when he saw her arguing with someone else?
Even now, when he saw Xia Yiqing being pushed aside by Gongsun Yang's bodyguards, his heart ached, and he didn't know what had stimulated him.
"This is a company, so if you have something to say, please talk it over nicely and don't let others make fun of you."
Qi Hanmu's words seemed fair and just, but in fact, he knew how much water was in them. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely disdain such things.
Other people’s struggles have nothing to do with him. As long as it doesn’t affect his ability to make money, it doesn’t matter.
But now, seeing Xia Yiqing's eyes that seemed to have been washed by water, the balance in his heart shifted.
He is no longer just a cold-eyed and impartial judge.
"Third Master," Gongsun Yang saw that it was Qi Hanmu coming, and he quickly twisted left and right, carrying his lunch box and happily walked forward.
"Grandma asked me to come over and bring you some soup. It's a soup she made herself, and she told me to personally deliver it to you."
As she spoke, she handed the lunch box towards Qi Hanmu, her face full of shyness.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. Please give this lunch box to Luo Miao."
Being rejected in public, Gongsun Yang's face looked unhappy, bruised as if he had been beaten.
"But, Third Master, grandma said..."
Luo Miao took a step towards Gongsun Yang. Although he lowered his head, his voice was firm, "Miss Gongsun, please give me the things."
Gongsun Yang had just rejected Luo Miao not long ago, and her face flushed red, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground.
From beginning to end, Xia Yiqing stood behind them, with her almond-shaped eyes lowered, revealing only half of her sight.
Her lips were relaxed and red without any makeup, but her hands hanging by her side were slightly sweaty.
Does Qi Hanmu still have her in his heart?
"Third Master," Xia Yiqing mustered up her courage and walked past Gongsun Yang. She actually saw someone coming behind Gongsun Yang, but she didn't expect it to be Qi Hanmu.
"I've accepted your coffee beans. In return, can you let me grind the beans myself and make you a cup of coffee?"
The girl's eyes were indifferent, but Qi Hanmu could clearly feel the eagerness in them.
This didn't feel good, as if Xia Yiqing was looking through him at the person she liked.
He was used as a stand-in.
Or when he was still unclear about it.
There was a strange feeling in my heart for no reason, like a cola soda being shaken, with small bubbles piling up towards the bottle cap, trying to push the bottle open with pressure. I shook it, letting it out completely, but when I licked it, it tasted astringent.
Strange, could he feel bitter too?
He has everything now, except his health. The company is under control, his grandmother is still alive, and she has even found a marriage partner for him.
In the eyes of others, Qi Hanmu is young and promising. Not only does he have the right to take over the family business, he is now also preparing to get engaged to the daughter of the Gongsun family, joining forces to expand the business empire of both parties.
But for some reason, in front of the girl's pair of purple grape-like eyes, Qi Hanmu felt that he had nowhere to hide.
His right hand slowly rose to the height of half a palm, and finally fell down due to weakness.
Strangely, the hand actually wanted to touch the scar on the right side of its cheek.
Xia Yi looked at him from across three or four people, her eyes filled with sadness and a hint of expectation that he couldn't understand.
What on earth was she expecting?
I look forward to him and grandma, and just as Luo Miao described, putting aside their past grudges and treating her well.
"Luo Miao will take care of making the coffee, so I won't bother Mr. Xia. After all, we're not familiar with each other."
Qi Hanmu's words were also very calm, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him.
But the shock on the girl's face could not be concealed.
As Qi Hanmu watched, he began to feel a little breathless.
