Mr. Xia sighed, "Don't even mention it. At today's shareholders' meeting, those old fogies protested to Mu Nanxun and even threatened to resign. Who knew that Mu Nanxun wouldn't listen to either. He not only scolded them but also said he wouldn't keep anyone who wanted to resign. Those old fogies were just saying that; they wouldn't dare to resign easily. Where would they find such a good company if they resigned? So, at today's meeting, our people didn't gain any advantage whatsoever. You, you tell me..."
"How could this be? Why is Brother Xun so adamant about this? Is he determined to break off our engagement?" It must all be because of that damned little bitch!
A sinister glint appeared on Xia Bingqing's face. "Yi Yi, I will definitely drive you away from Brother Xun, I will!"
"Daughter, don't worry about that now. If things really don't work out, just come back. Dad will think of something for you." Although he wasn't willing to let go of Mu Nanxun, this incredibly wealthy and eligible bachelor, if things were truly beyond repair, he would have no choice but to consider other options and take a risky approach.
Of course, what he didn't want to let go of was the entire Mu Group, and everything the Mu family owned.
“I’m not going back, Father. I must have Brother Xun. I won’t marry anyone but Brother Xun. If I can’t marry Brother Xun, I’d rather become a nun.”
After a pause, Xia's father's voice rang out again, "Alright then, I'll think about it some more. Be careful."
The call was immediately disconnected. Xia Bingqing was unaware that her father had another idea in mind.
Xia Bingqing put away her phone, pretending to have blank stares, and called out to the door, "Xiaomai, come in!"
Xiaomai was a servant she brought from the Xia family, who was responsible for taking care of her daily needs.
The words had barely left her lips when the door was pushed open. But it wasn't Xiaomai who walked in; it was Yi Yi.
How could it be her?
How long has she been standing outside the door? What has she heard?
A hint of surprise and panic flashed across Xia Bingqing's face, but she quickly pretended nothing had happened, reached out her hand, and said calmly, "Xiaomai, what are you standing there for? Help me down. Don't just sit around all day. Help out when you need to, so you don't cause trouble for Brother Xun and the others."
Yi stood still, not moving for a long time. Xia Bingqing was even more unsure whether Yi had heard her conversation with her father. After a pause, she continued,
"What's wrong, Xiaomai? I'm talking to you. Come help me downstairs."
"Miss Xia, I am Yi Yi."
As soon as he spoke, he walked up to her and scrutinized her with his gaze.
Xia Bingqing felt extremely uncomfortable under that gaze; she was completely uneasy. She had a premonition that this little brat had likely overheard her conversation with her father. But what about Xiaomairen? Wasn't she supposed to be guarding the door the whole time?
"Oh, is that so?" Xia Bingqing's tone was a little unsteady, and the muscles on her face twitched. She tried to remain calm and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is Xiaomai? Where did she go?"
"Xiaomai ate something that upset her stomach and went to the bathroom. She happened to see me and told me to stand at the door and wait for your instructions."
Yi half-closed her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips, which made Xia Bingqing's heart tremble with fear.
"Then, then help me downstairs."
"Why should I help you up? You can see it."
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing's fingertips trembled. She had actually heard everything!
