Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "What a nice day."...
After hanging up the phone, Nie Yuan tried to contact the boss's other assistants and drivers, but the responses he received were that he had not seen Mr. Shen in the past two days.
It was indeed very strange that he did not go to see Miss Yao and was not in the company for two consecutive days.
Nie Yuan knew that he shouldn't bother his boss so late, but he still tried to call him using another mobile phone number that he rarely used. Sure enough, his boss's phone was turned off.
No wonder Miss Yao was anxious.
However, Nie Yuan didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at that time. After all, the boss always had no bottom line when it came to Miss Yao.
The next day was the May Day holiday, and although Nie Yuan didn't have to go to work, he was still woken up by the sound of rain. A typhoon was about to pass, and the weather in City A had been gloomy under the cover of low pressure for several days. Finally, it rained on this day.
He glanced at the time. It was just past six o'clock, which was really early. But worried about the difficulty in traveling on the road, Nie Yuan got up, washed up, and left home before seven o'clock.
The road was indeed jammed. It was slippery due to the rain and visibility was low. In just a few kilometers, Nie Yuan had witnessed several car accidents. The main road was completely blocked.
Nie Yuan was stuck in the middle and no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do. It was not until an hour later that the car in front began to move slowly.
By the time Nie Yuan finally arrived at his boss's house after much difficulty, it was already past half past eight. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell.
The door opened almost immediately.
Nie Yuan smiled calmly and politely, saying, "Good morning, Miss Yao."
"Good morning, Nie Yuan." She probably wanted to see her boss more, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her drooping eyes.
Nie Yuan felt a little disappointed, but fortunately it was not serious. He was more worried about Miss Yao's health.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept all night, her condition was a little bad. Even though she was young and there were no obvious marks on her face, her eyes were lifeless.
Nie Yuan then asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Yao Yingxia shook her head: "Let's just go."
Nie Yuan was driving and she was sitting in the passenger seat, but she had no idea where to look next.
Nie Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I know Mr. Shen's several properties in City A. Why don't we go take a look first?" In such bad weather, Mr. Shen would probably have to stay at home.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, making it almost impossible to see. Nie Yuan drove very carefully, but was still almost hit by the car behind him. He really wanted to persuade Miss Yao to wait until the typhoon was over before looking for Mr. Shen, but seeing her dazed look, she probably wouldn't listen.
The two of them arrived at a lake view villa with great difficulty. However, the security of the high-end residential complex was very strict and required the consent of the homeowner before they would be allowed in. Even though Nie Yuan found the marriage certificate that his boss had posted on his WeChat Moments, the other party refused to give in.
Because he ran to negotiate with the security, Nie Yuan's clothes were almost soaked by the rain. His shirt stuck tightly to his body, clearly outlining every line, and even the base color of his skin could be seen clearly.
Even though Miss Yao's attention was not on him, Nie Yuan still felt very uncomfortable. With every breath, his skin inevitably rubbed against his wet shirt. The rain was obviously cold, but he didn't know why he felt hotter and hotter.
If he continued like this, he was afraid he would have some unbelievable thoughts, so Nie Yuan finally suggested, "Can you accompany me to buy some clothes?"
This sounded too boundless. Even if it was a request, it shouldn't have come out of his mouth. Nie Yuan then added: "I have a very serious difficulty in making a choice."
If Pan Yue heard this, he would probably laugh out loud, but Nie Yuan said it without changing his expression.
Fortunately, Yao Yingxia didn't find it strange and just nodded: "It's my duty."
The two went to a nearby shopping mall. Yao Yingxia was not in the mood to look at clothes. She just subconsciously picked an outfit that would not go wrong: a dark grey off-shoulder T-shirt with black shorts.
Usually, Nie Yuan wears a shirt and trousers welded together, and he insists on dressing like this even on his days off. It’s not that he is deliberately maintaining his elite image, but he is simply too lazy to change because he is used to wearing them.
Suddenly trying a new style, Nie Yuan found that he was also quite suitable for casual wear.
Yao Yingxia briefly explained, "It's raining heavily, so shorts won't get wet easily. A T-shirt would be better."
It turned out that Miss Yao had not failed to notice his daily dressing habits.
After realizing this, Nie Yuan took a deep breath. He finally began to understand why his boss had become such a love-brained person.
When Nie Yuan went to pay, he realized that Miss Yao had already paid. The cashier even smiled and praised: "Your girlfriend has a good taste."
Nie Yuan's cheeks flushed instantly. A sensible person like him should distinguish between public and private affairs and only take what he deserves. However, he selfishly wanted to accept this gift, so after returning to Miss Yao, he only said "thank you".
Yao Yingxia actually already had an idea of where she was going next, even though that place was the source of all the chaos and had brought her endless pain.
Yao Yingxia still spoke to Nie Yuan: "Please take me to Tinglan Mansion." That was the villa where Shen Changhe lived for a long time. She and Xu Nian lived there for three years.
But when Nie Yuan just started the car, the central control screen lit up and a call reminder appeared on it. It was actually from his boss.
The two looked at each other, and Nie Yuan answered the phone. Mr. Shen's voice sounded as calm as ever: "Nie Yuan, come to the company. I'll wait for you in the conference room on the third floor."
He was just about to tell his boss that Miss Yao was right next to him when Shen Xingchuan hung up the phone.
This is better than being like a headless fly, but Miss Yao became obviously nervous.
Nie Yuan finally couldn't help but ask: "Is there any problem between you and Mr. Shen?"
Just at this moment, a flash of purple-red lightning streaked across the gloomy sky, followed by rumbling thunder that roared for a long time.
He thought he would never get an answer, but after the thunder died down, Nie Yuan heard Miss Yao say, "He said he wanted to divorce me and stop treating my mother."
Nie Yuan thought this was simply a fantasy and blurted out, "How is this possible?!"
As the most capable assistant, he knew too well how his boss felt about Miss Yao. If this feeling was even a little shallow, it would not support him in doing so many crazy things.
Although people's hearts are fickle, Mr. Shen has always been self-disciplined. Over the years, he has only had one Miss Yao, so how could he let go easily?
Nie Yuan quickly comforted her: "Mr. Shen is probably just too angry, he doesn't really want a divorce."
Yao Yingxia smiled. She hadn't slept all night last night and figured this out. If Shen Xingchuan was really determined, he could just sit down and talk to her frankly. There was no need to tease her like a mouse, torturing her for fun and trying to break her mentality.
This all feels more like a deterrent.
This was so that Yao Yingxia could clearly realize that even though they had obtained a marriage certificate, they were not on an equal footing. As long as Shen Xingchuan wanted to, he could easily crush her in his palm.
It is undeniable that Shen Xingchuan is sometimes very happy to show his "deep affection", and therefore he will indulge Yao Yingxia in doing some things, such as occasionally biting him sharply, but his indulgence is always limited, just like his patience.
This time he was determined to clean himself up, and the outcome would depend on her attitude.
It turned out that Shen Xingchuan just felt that her waist was not bent thoroughly enough.
Nie Yuan originally wanted to park the car in the underground parking lot of Chuanhe Group so that he could take the elevator directly up and save Miss Yao from getting wet in the rain. After all, the wind was raging outside and an umbrella was of no use.
But when Nie Yuan drove to the entrance of the underground parking lot, he found that it was closed.
He could only return the same way and stop at the location closest to the main gate.
There was only one umbrella in Nie Yuan's car. He tried his best to protect Miss Yao under the umbrella and tried to use his body to block the wind, but the two of them still couldn't move forward.
The main problem lies with Miss Yao. She is too thin and weak to withstand such a strong wind. She looks like she is about to be blown away.
Nie Yuan was just thankful that she was wearing a black velvet dress today. Even though the hem of her dress fell heavily after being soaked by water, it didn't expose her.
However, the collar, which was already a bit wide, was pulled down even further. Nie Yuan had just lowered his head inadvertently, and for a moment he could no longer hear the sound of the heavy rain.
He finally reached out, held the slender shoulders, and helped her to the glass awning in front of the company's gate in the rain.
Everything went so naturally. Miss Yao even whispered thank you, and Nie Yuan let go of her hand at the right time.
However, they didn't expect that just when they wanted to enter the hall, they would be stopped by several security personnel.
It was not a working day, so it was very strange that there were so many security personnel. Nie Yuan was even more shocked by their attitude towards Miss Yao.
One of the more senior security supervisors said, "Assistant Nie, Mr. Shen only allows you to go up."
Nie Yuan is a very stable person, rarely revealing his true thoughts, but at this moment he frowned deeply: "This is Mr. Shen's wife. I think you have all seen the previous news."
But no one moved, and the security director just repeated what he had just said: "I'm very sorry, we are just following orders. Mr. Shen only allows you to go up."
It turns out that the boss already knew about this in advance. Did he bring Miss Yao here?
Nie Yuan was about to say something else, but Yao Yingxia had already stepped back, staring at her dripping skirt and said, "You go in first."
It was just a way to continue to temper her. Yao Yingxia calmly accepted the hardships he imposed on her. Since Shen Xingchuan wanted to see her suffer, she would certainly suffer countless hardships.
Nie Yuan looked back at her and found that Miss Yao was as calm as a job applicant who was rejected without an interview. She even smiled and waved at him.
Nie Yuan handed her the umbrella and car keys. "When the wind dies down a bit, you can go back to the car and turn on the heater. The clothes will dry faster."
She nodded obediently, as if taking his words seriously to heart.
No matter how hesitant Nie Yuan was, he had to go see his boss first. The conference room on the third floor was rarely used because it had a full wall of glass that was very glaring when the sun shone directly on it. Since Nie Yuan joined the company, he had never participated in any meetings there.
As it happens, today is the first day of the May Day holiday. With such bad weather, Nie Yuan didn't understand why his boss insisted on coming to the company to see him.
He stopped at the door of the conference room and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The boss's voice was clear and gentle amidst the sound of rain. When Nie Yuan walked in, he found him standing by the window enjoying the rain.
The raindrops fell like fine silver needles, as if they could penetrate the ground, and all the vegetation in sight was blown to pieces.
Nie Yuan heard the boss say with a smile: "What a nice day."
