Chapter 555 Kneeling down to apologize
After a long time, Ji Wan slowly put down the coffee cup. The bottom of the cup hit the table, making a crisp sound.
She finally raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Zhao Xiyue who was kneeling on the ground, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
"Ms. Zhao, look up."
Zhao Xiyue's body shook violently, and her nails dug deeply into her palms.
"I told you to look up." Ji Wan's voice was still calm, but it carried an irresistible pressure.
Zhao Xiyue raised her head little by little in humiliation.
The face with makeup smudged from tears and vivid slap marks was exposed under the bright light, looking ugly and pathetic.
"Oh," Ji Wan chuckled, dragging out the last syllable, "Isn't this Miss Zhao? You weren't like this when we were plotting behind my back. Why are you like this now?"
"Why are you so weak today? Where's your fighting ability?"
Every word was like a poisoned knife, stabbing precisely into Zhao Xiyue's heart.
Zhao Xiyue's face instantly turned purple. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but she couldn't say a word.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Ji Wan put away his smile and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Zhao Xiyue, I'm warning you, this is the last time."
"If you dare to do those shameful little things behind my back again, next time, it won't be as simple as kneeling here."
Her voice was not loud, but every word carried weight.
"You, your father, and your entire Zhao family must get out of City A completely."
Zhao Xiyue's eyes suddenly widened, her pupils filled with fear.
She had no doubt about the truthfulness of Ji Wan's words.
Chi Wenyan didn't say a word from beginning to end. Only when Zhao Dehai was about to drag Zhao Xiyue away did he raise his eyelids and utter a word coldly.
"roll."
The word "get out" struck Zhao Dehai and Zhao Xiyue's hearts with a bone-chilling chill.
After Chi Wenyan finished speaking, he never looked at them again.
He stood up and adjusted the cuffs of his suit condescendingly. His movements were elegant and dignified, yet revealed a suffocating sense of oppression.
Ji Wan also stood up. She stretched, and her bones made a slight sound. She was as lazy as a well-fed cat.
She walked up to Chi Wenyan and naturally took his arm.
"Let's go. I'm hungry."
"Hmm." Chi Wenyan's eyes softened instantly when they landed on her. "What do you want to eat?"
"Hot pot, I want the spiciest kind."
"good."
The two of them talked as if no one was around, then took long strides and walked straight towards the office door.
From beginning to end, they didn't even give a glance to Zhao Xiyue who was kneeling on the ground, and Zhao Dehai who was groveling beside her.
It was an extreme indifference that came from the bottom of his heart.
It is more embarrassing than any vicious curse.
"Bang."
The office door was closed, isolating the two worlds.
Zhao Dehai's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
He looked at his daughter who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and the anger and fear in his heart intertwined, finally turning into a loud slap.
“Bang!”
"Don't you think it's embarrassing enough if you still don't get up?"
Zhao Dehai roared, roughly pulled Zhao Xiyue up from the ground, and dragged her out.
Underground garage.
The atmosphere in the black Rolls-Royce was quiet.
Before starting the car, Chi Wenyan took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The call was connected quickly.
"Hello, it's me."
His voice was cold and emotionless.
"Zhao's side, please stop for now."
The person on the other end of the phone responded.
Chi Wenyan added: "Let's see how she performs later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly and threw it aside.
Ji Wan tilted her head to look at his perfect profile and raised her eyebrows.
"You're just going to let her go like that? I thought you were going to bankrupt the Zhao family."
Chi Wenyan turned his head, her figure reflected in his dark eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Just crushing her to death would be too easy for her."
He started the car, and his deep voice was particularly clear in the enclosed space.
"Wouldn't it be more interesting to have her live in constant fear, hanging on her brow, worrying about what she'd done?"
Ji Wan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
"Chi Wenyan, you are such a sinister person."
The man raised the corner of his lips, freed one hand, and accurately held her hand, stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips.
"I'm only good to you."
His words were like an invisible rope that tied Ji Wan tightly to him.
Ji Wan's heart trembled.
She turned her head and stopped looking at him, but the corners of her lips rose slightly uncontrollably.
The neon lights outside the car window quickly receded, flowing into a brilliant river of light in her eyes.
The other side.
After leaving the Chi Group, Zhao Dehai dragged Zhao Xiyue all the way and stuffed her into the car.
The atmosphere in the car was so oppressive that it felt like water could be squeezed out of it.
Zhao Dehai's chest heaved violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
He started the car without saying a word, stepped on the accelerator very hard, and the car rushed out suddenly.
Zhao Xiyue was thrown into the car door by inertia, her shoulder hurt, but she didn't even dare to make a sound.
She lowered her head, her long hair hanging messily, hiding all expression on her face.
Only her tightly clenched hands, with white knuckles, revealed the overwhelming hatred in her heart.
Season evening,
Chi Wenyan,
The humiliation she suffered today will be repaid a thousandfold in the future.
Just then, Zhao Dehai's cell phone rang.
The shrill ringing of the bell broke the silence.
Zhao Dehai glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the company's vice president. He took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and turned on the speakerphone.
"Mr. Zhao, stop, stop everything,"
On the other end of the phone, the vice president's voice was filled with excitement and trembling of having survived a disaster.
"The attacks on our overseas projects and the malicious short selling on the stock market have just been withdrawn."
Zhao Dehai's grip on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
The sword of Damocles hanging over my head was finally removed.
He seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned heavily against the chair, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.
After hanging up the phone, he slammed the car on the side of the road.
Zhao Dehai turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on his daughter.
That look was no longer filled with pure anger, but was mixed with cold scrutiny and warning.
"Did you hear that?"
His voice was frighteningly hoarse.
"This is the last chance Chi Wenyan gives us."
Zhao Xiyue shuddered and murmured "hmm" softly.
"I don't care what you're thinking, how unwilling you are, or how much hatred you have," Zhao Dehai almost gritted his teeth, squeezing out each word from between his teeth.
"From today on, put away all your little thoughts."
