Chapter 242 Why wasn't it him?



What was a perfectly normal tone sounded like a child's coquettishness to Chu Xing.

He gently stroked Song Mai, and felt a strange sensation rising from her lower abdomen.

Chu Xing kissed her lips directly, his kiss lingering and deep.

"sure."

Just as Chu Xing began to grope her, her phone rang at an inopportune moment.

Song Mai also came to her senses and immediately pushed him away, turning her head to the other side so that he wouldn't see her blushing and shy appearance.

Chu Xing, with a dissatisfied expression, went to the side to answer the phone.

Liu Jiaer's voice came from the other end of the phone, extremely weak.

"Ah Xing, I've been in a car accident, can you help me?"

Chu Xing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied calmly, "I'll have Assistant Lu go find you now."

"Ah Xing, I want you to come pick me up. Can't you even grant me this small request?" Liu Jia'er's tone was filled with fear, panic, and coquetry, which would make any man's heart surge.

But how could Chu Xing let such a small action disrupt his thoughts?

He rubbed his temples wearily, gradually losing patience: "Assistant Lu will be here in ten minutes."

Chu Xing hung up the phone without hesitation and turned to look at Song Mai.

Her watery eyes stared straight at him, with a hint of anger in them.

"It's about the company."

To avoid upsetting Song Mai, Chu Xing subconsciously felt that it was better to avoid trouble, so he simply didn't confess directly.

Song Mai looked at him with some doubt, but as if she had made up her mind, she said in a low voice, "Actually, I don't care about other people, I only need your feelings."

Chu Xing didn't say a word, but his icy eyes melted instantly at those words.

At this moment, Liu Jiaer was sitting in the car, watching Assistant Liu rush over, and only then did she believe that Chu Xing had really been heartless enough to leave her outside.

She honked the horn in a fit of rage, glaring angrily at Assistant Lu.

Why are you only arriving now?

Assistant Lu had no choice but to suffer in silence. He suddenly received a call from his boss at this time, which was practically forcing him to work overtime.

After Chu Xing briefly told him about Liu Jia'er's situation, Assistant Lu had a general plan in mind.

Over the years, there have been many people who have tried every means to get close to their boss.

The saying "practice makes perfect" perfectly describes Assistant Lu.

"The boss asked me to handle this for you," Assistant Lu replied expressionlessly.

Liu Jia'er, completely devoid of her previous delicate demeanor, snapped angrily, "Hurry up and resolve this!"

Not seeing Chu Xing, she vented all her anger on Assistant Lu.

When the police were handling the matter, they subconsciously assumed that Assistant Lu was the driver who caused the accident.

While waiting for the matter to be processed, Liu Jia'er became increasingly angry and couldn't help but turn around and glare at Assistant Lu.

Assistant Lu subconsciously turned his head, knowing that she was about to question him.

As expected, Liu Jiaer quickly vented her dissatisfaction, then took out her phone and dialed Qin Jizhi's number directly.

The moment the call connected, Liu Jia'er's tone softened considerably as she tearfully recounted what had happened.

Although they didn't know what Qin Jizhi said on the other end of the phone, seeing Liu Jiaer's appearance, they could tell that their boss was about to become even angrier.

At this moment, Chu Xing handed over a glass of water, feeling heartbroken at Song Mai's exhausted appearance.

Remembering Jiang Jibai's words, he carefully examined Song Mai once again.

I always thought Song Mai was thin because girls need to maintain their figure, but I never expected it was because of malnutrition.

Seeing that Chu Xing was staring at her, Song Mai shyly looked away and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. How about we go out for dinner tomorrow night to celebrate your return to work?"

Song Mai chuckled: "What's there to celebrate?"

Chu Xing didn't speak, and his phone rang again.

This time it's Qin Jizhi.

Chu Xing's smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a look of anger that made Song Mai instinctively tense.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xing shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go answer another call."

Song Mai watched his departing figure thoughtfully. Chu Xing was acting strangely today. Could it be because of Liu Jiaer?

When the name suddenly popped into her mind, Song Mai suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, and her heart skipped a beat.

I thought she was just a passerby, but now it seems that Liu Jiaer has brought me a considerable sense of crisis.

Song Mai rubbed her temples wearily. Although she was playing with her phone, her attention was not on the phone at all. Instead, she kept staring at the door.

After Chu Xing answered the phone, he deliberately concealed his voice, making it completely inaudible.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch Liu Jia'er get into trouble?" Qin Jizhi said angrily, unable to contain his rage.

Chu Xing frowned and said coldly, "Does she only know me here?"

"You! You know how she feels about you, and your Uncle Willow and your father are old friends. If you don't even give her this much face, what will your father do if word gets out?"

"Do what you have to do, it has nothing to do with me." Chu Xing further warned, "I already said before that you shouldn't interfere in company affairs, but now you're directly and legitimately installing Liu Jia'er to replace her. I really don't know what you're trying to do."

"Of course I'm doing this for your own good..."

Qin Jizhi was prepared to continue her earnest persuasion, but Chu Xing hung up the phone directly, completely ignoring her explanation.

Back in the bedroom, I found Song Mai already asleep, so I had no choice but to cover her with the blanket.

Perhaps because it was too hot, Song Mai kicked off the corner of the blanket, revealing the fair and tender leg in Wei's hand.

The remaining blanket was just enough to cover her waist, but her slightly disdainful pajamas still vaguely revealed her stunning figure.

If I didn't know her well, I probably would have thought she was pretending to be asleep.

When Song Mai woke up in the morning, she found that Chu Xing had gone to the company early, but Liu Jiaer was not there.

This reminded her of the phone call she received yesterday.

Ji Fenghe stepped forward, gently tapped on her desk, and said in a low voice, "Come to my office."

Song Mai didn't understand, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Ji Feng smiled and said in the office, "You don't need to be too nervous. I just want to talk to you about the new project."

New energy projects are currently very popular and are also the development direction that Yunxing Group values ​​most.

Song Mai nodded and succinctly explained her current follow-up plan.

Ji Feng gave her an approving look, not expecting Song Mai to be able to think so thoroughly.

"What you said is not wrong, but there is one point that needs to be added."
