Chapter 456 Crocodile Tears
His voice was filled with rage and hatred towards Su Jiujiu, but part of this hatred was transferred to Zhao Xiyue.
"I can't find her. Nian Nian's surgery cannot be done without her." Zhao Xiyue's voice trembled slightly, and she had to reveal her helplessness and despair.
Chi Wenyan approached her step by step, his eyes like a beast staring at its prey.
"Can't find it? Zhao Xiyue, did you collude with her? First let her act out a bone marrow donation scene to let me let my guard down, and then she attacked me and left, leaving you to beg me and force me to surrender?" His tone was full of malicious speculation, pouring out all his anger.
Zhao Xiyue's eyes were red with discomfort and anxiety.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I can't help it. I just want to save Nian Nian."
Chi Wenyan stood in front of her, looking down at her condescendingly, his eyes as if he were looking at a humble beggar.
"Sorry is useless. When you plotted against me, did you know what the consequences would be?"
His voice was like a knife, cutting into Zhao Xiyue's heart.
"That's not what I meant..." Zhao Xiyue defended herself, but her voice was drowned out by Chi Wenyan's sneer.
"I know exactly what you mean." Chi Wenyan's eyes were cold and sarcastic.
Zhao Xiyue was still begging, "Please help me, help Nian Nian. Nian Nian really needs you. You've raised her for such a long time, so you have feelings for her, right?"
The man was silent, staring at her sharply.
Ji Wan had just come out of the hospital. Nian Nian's pale little face and desire for life were still lingering in her mind. She deliberately took a detour to talk to Chi Wenyan about the child's condition, but when she reached the door of the president's office, she heard a suppressed quarrel inside.
She paused, pushed open the half-closed door, and the scene before her made her heart tighten.
Chi Wenyan had his back to the door, but his tense shoulders and the biting coldness emanating from his body were so familiar that it made her heart palpitate.
Opposite him, Zhao Xiyue was in tears, her face full of despair, and was on the verge of collapse from his ruthless verbal attack.
“…Dream on!” Chi Wenyan’s last two words fell like hail, without a trace of emotion.
Zhao Xiyue's body swayed and she almost fell down. Tears blurred her eyes and she could only shake her head in vain.
"Wen Yan?" Ji Wan called out softly, breaking the tense atmosphere in the office.
Chi Wenyan turned around suddenly and saw that it was Ji Wan. The violence in his eyes subsided a little instantly, but the anger between his brows was still clearly visible.
He walked quickly to Ji Wan's side, his voice unconsciously softened: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to the hospital to see Nian Nian?"
Ji Wan's eyes wandered between Chi Wenyan and Zhao Xiyue, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I just came back from the hospital and wanted to tell you about Nian Nian's situation. What happened here?"
Her eyes fell on Zhao Xiyue's red eyes and pale face, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
Zhao Xiyue saw Ji Wan, as if she had grabbed the last straw, and cried anxiously: "Miss Ji, please persuade Wen Yan quickly. Su Jiujiu is missing, and Nian Nian's surgery... Nian Nian can't wait any longer!"
"Su Jiujiu is missing?" Ji Wan was shocked. She certainly knew the importance of Su Jiujiu to Nian Nian's surgery.
She looked at Chi Wenyan, her eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of barely perceptible worry.
Chi Wenyan snorted coldly, and the look he gave Zhao Xiyue turned icy cold again. "Persuade me? What right does she have to ask you to persuade me? She treated me like a fool, and now Su Jiujiu has disappeared again, and she wants me to clean up her mess for her?"
His anger was ignited again, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Ji Wan pulled Chi Wenyan's sleeve and said softly, "Wenyan, don't get excited. What's going on? Why is Su Jiujiu missing? What about Nian Nian's surgery?"
She didn't know why Chi Wenyan had such strong hatred towards Su Jiujiu and Zhao Xiyue, but the most important thing at the moment was Nian Nian's illness.
"What should I do?" Chi Wenyan raised the corner of his lips sarcastically, and turned his gaze to Zhao Xiyue with undisguised sarcasm, "Didn't she come to beg me? Zhao Xiyue, tell me, what do you want me to do? Should I dig three feet underground to find Su Jiujiu, and then let her continue to use me with peace of mind?"
Zhao Xiyue was speechless and could only shake her head desperately, tears pouring out: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done that, now I really know I was wrong."
Chi Wenyan seemed to have heard a huge joke, and his laughter was filled with sadness and anger.
He took a step forward and stared at Zhao Xiyue, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Zhao Xiyue, put away your crocodile tears! Neither you nor Su Jiujiu will have an easy life."
Ji Wan looked at the scene in front of him and understood.
Su Jiujiu's disappearance undoubtedly pushed Nian Nian's surgery into a desperate situation, and also completely detonated Chi Wenyan's long-accumulated anger.
Ji Wan's heart sank. She could feel the almost biting hatred in Chi Wenyan's tone.
This was not just anger because Su Jiujiu's disappearance made the operation impossible, but more like a rage after being deeply betrayed and fooled.
She took a step forward and gently held Chi Wenyan's arm. The muscles in his arm were tense and as hard as stone.
"Wen Yan," her voice was soothing, but her eyes looked at him intently, "Miss Zhao and Su Jiujiu...what on earth did they do to you to make you so angry?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "what did I do to you". She realized that a considerable part of Chi Wenyan's anger was due to some humiliation he had suffered.
Chi Wenyan's gaze shifted away from Zhao Xiyue and fell on Ji Wan's worried face.
Her clear eyes were full of concern, without a trace of impurities.
The thought of the shameful plot and the humiliation of waking up in the hotel after being set up made him feel sick. He was even more unwilling to let these filth pollute Ji Wan's ears, causing her to worry about him or even have bad associations.
His heart ached, and he suppressed his surging emotions. His voice remained cold, but he deliberately avoided the core of Ji Wan's question: "What they did was despicable and shameless, not worth mentioning!"
Changing the subject, he suddenly shook off Ji Wan's hand. His action was resolute, but at the moment of shaking it off, there was an imperceptible pause, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
His gaze shot out again like a sharp sword towards the trembling Zhao Xiyue. Anger burned fiercely in his chest, almost bursting out: "Zhao Xiyue, what are you still doing here? Are you waiting for me to ask you to leave?"
Every word was like a poisoned icicle, piercing Zhao Xiyue's heart.
"I..." Zhao Xiyue opened her mouth, but no sound of defense came out.
