Chapter 192 Refusing to Help Those in Dire Need
As Yu Li got into the car, her phone vibrated twice.
She picked it up and saw it was a message from Qi Chenyan, but she didn't open it, so she didn't know what he had sent.
Yu Li was puzzled. They were already together, so why couldn't they talk about it face-to-face, and instead send her a WeChat message?
When Yu Li opened the message and saw its contents, she was stunned.
"This is……"
Qi Chenyan's slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, like the finest jade, reflecting a flawless luster in the sunlight.
"You can contact Teacher Deng directly via WeChat regarding matters related to the program."
Yu Li joked, "Is Director Qi openly giving me preferential treatment?"
“My wife is highly skilled, kind and principled. She is someone that Teacher Deng greatly admires and likes. I only mentioned the program to her, and she took the initiative to say that she wanted to be invited.”
You wouldn't believe he's a diplomat; his linguistic skills are superb. He speaks in a way that is not only not offensive, but also makes people feel exceptionally comfortable.
Although Qi Chenyan didn't take credit, Yu Li understood perfectly well that if Qi Chenyan hadn't suggested the interview program, and must have said other things as well, Deng Bailing wouldn't have agreed so readily.
Yu Li snapped her fingers and said, "So, does that mean it's a joint achievement? To celebrate my opening and the successful invitation of guests, I'll cook for Director Qi tonight and let him taste my cooking skills, how about that?"
Qi Chenyan smiled and said, "But you haven't tried all my cooking yet, Lili. Just order whatever you want to eat tonight."
Yu Li understood perfectly well that Qi Chenyan was just making excuses to avoid tiring her out, so he insisted on cooking.
This man was always so considerate and thoughtful, handling everything so subtly and without ever making anyone feel offended.
"Also, there's another surprise; you'll find out when you go to work tomorrow."
As they approached the villa's entrance, Qi Chenyan suddenly added this sentence.
This piqued Yu Li's interest once again.
She blinked curiously, turned to the side and asked, "What surprise? Can't you tell me now? What's it about? Why do I have to wait until I start work to find out?"
"I already know about Teacher Deng's interview. Could there be an even bigger surprise than this?"
Yu Li was completely baffled.
However, Qi Chenyan maintained his mysterious tone this time, deliberately revealing nothing and keeping his mouth shut, which really kept Yu Li in suspense, wishing that the next day would arrive in the blink of an eye.
Just then, someone suddenly rushed in front of the car.
Fortunately, Qi Chenyan braked quickly enough, but Yu Li was still caught off guard and was thrown forward by inertia.
At the same time, Qi Chenyan reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to block her.
Yu Li's head bumped into Qi Chenyan's palm, while Qi Chenyan's hand hit the dashboard.
"Were you injured in the collision?"
Qi Chenyan immediately asked about her condition, while Yu Li grabbed his wrist and turned it over, and sure enough, she saw that the back of his hand was red from being bumped.
When it swooped down and crashed into them, Yu Li heard a loud thud; it was quite heavy.
If Qi Chenyan hadn't shielded her with his hand immediately, she would be the one with a red forehead right now.
"That's what I should be asking you. Your hands are all red from the bump, are your bones broken?"
Qi Chenyan said it was nothing, but Yu Li was very angry and was about to get out of the car to settle accounts with the person who had suddenly rushed out without thinking.
Unexpectedly, the other party rushed over and leaned against the car window like a ghost, almost scaring Yu Li.
"Little Pear, it's Mommy!"
Seeing a familiar face outside the car window, Yu Li's anger not only didn't subside, but instead surged even higher.
Yu Li knew that Sun Wenxiu was in such a hurry because she had come for Ren Qingxue's sake.
For so many years, as a mother, she has ignored her eldest daughter.
Now that his youngest daughter is in trouble, he's in a real hurry, even risking his life to stop a car.
It was one thing for her to be courting death, but she almost endangered the people on the bus, filling Yu Li with rage.
But just as she unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out to confront Sun Wenxiu, Qi Chenyan grabbed her arm and held her down.
"Lili, let me go down and handle this. You stay in the car."
Seeing that Yu Li was clearly angry, it was clear that she was about to have a fight with Sun Wenxiu.
If it's just a verbal argument, that's fine, but what if a physical altercation occurs? Yu Li is pregnant now, and she can't afford to take any risks.
Yu Li naturally understood Qi Chenyan's meaning, so she held back and said in a deep voice, "Just kick her out and say that we don't know anything, and let her go to the police herself."
Qi Chenyan said okay, but then added worriedly, "I'll handle things outside. No matter what happens, don't come down, understand?"
Yu Li nodded and gave an OK sign.
"You're stopping a car so late at night, are you perhaps going back to your hometown and saying goodbye to us?"
When Sun Wenxiu saw Qi Chenyan get out of the car but not Yu Li, she was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still grabbed Qi Chenyan's arm first.
"Son-in-law, I've come to ask for your help. I don't know what happened, but the police suddenly took Qingxue away. Qingxue has always been smart and sensible since she was little. She wouldn't even step on an ant. How could she do something illegal?"
"I know you're a very capable person, son-in-law. Please go and talk to the police to get Qingxue out of here. She must be terrified to be alone in the police station!"
Qi Chenyan calmly replied, "Mother-in-law, I don't own the police station. How can I interfere with the police's affairs? Besides, if Ren Qingxue didn't do anything illegal or wrong, the police wouldn't wrong any innocent person."
"Instead of wasting your time stopping cars here, you'd be better off going to the police station to get a better understanding of the situation. As for the rest, there's nothing I can do to help."
Seeing that Qi Chenyan had no intention of intervening, Sun Wenxiu became even more anxious and grabbed his arm, refusing to let go.
“You live in such a luxurious villa and drive a luxury car, you must be rich and powerful, how could you possibly be helpless? If you don’t help me rescue Qingxue, I’m going to Xiaoli’s workplace right now.”
"I want to tell everyone that Xiaoli mistreated her biological mother and refused to help her younger sister when she was in danger. If things come to a head, we will all look bad!"
Unexpectedly, in order to protect her youngest daughter, Sun Wenxiu, as a mother, truly didn't care about the life or death of her eldest daughter at all.
Qi Chenyan had initially been mindful of the fact that the other party was Yu Li's biological mother, and was giving her some face.
But upon hearing these words, he immediately lowered his gaze, and the oppressive aura of a superior descended upon him like a tidal wave.
Are you threatening me?
