C24 Don't Overdo It

Chapter XXIV

The next day, the negative opinion of the media about Chu's was gradually suppressed, and Chu's's shares also gradually recovered, all thanks to Qi Jingyuan's help.

Chu Liangyun could not help but feel grateful when she thought about how she had repeatedly targeted Qi's. Although she had her own reasons for doing so, Qi Jingyuan did not know about it.

On the other side, Chu Xinlian watched the news move forward and swept the glass off the table, scattering broken glass all over the floor.

She wore a dress as pure as snow, and her pale, delicate face was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.

Why?

How could Chu Liangyun escape when things had developed to this point?

Why did Qi Jingyuan want to help her?

The news on her phone captured the photos of the two of them kissing each other. She turned off the news and quickly retracted the bad expression on her face. She put on a weak expression and dialed Qi Jingyuan's number.

The man's usual cold greeting was heard.

"What is it?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qi Jingyuan asked.

A soft cry came from the other side of the phone. Chu Xinlian's soft voice sounded, "Jingyuan, when are you going to marry me?"

The question came out of the blue. Qi Jingyuan frowned as he looked at the company documents and asked, "Why do you ask this question?"

"I am... Seeing the news, you said that the two of you are very fond of each other, so are you not planning to marry me? "

Chu Xinlian's voice was full of questions for the first time. Qi Jingyuan was a bit impatient, but he still tried to comfort her.

Chu Xinlian continued to sob, "Jingyuan... You should get divorced as soon as possible and marry me, okay? "

"I'm so scared, so afraid that you won't want me anymore …"

"You know I can't do without you."

Qi Jingyuan suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Ok."

Actually, marrying anyone was the same, except Chu Xinlian was his savior.

He told himself this, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart.

Hearing that Qi Jingyuan had agreed, Chu Xinlian was overjoyed, but she continued to sob, "Jingyuan, you said … Is that true? "

"Yes." Qi Jingyuan replied faintly and comforted him, "Don't cry."

"Alright!" Chu Xinlian agreed. In her mind, she was already imagining the wedding ceremony with Qi Jingyuan, as well as Chu Liangyun's bedraggled appearance.

After hanging up the phone with Chu Xinlian, Xia Mingzhe walked into the office.

"Director Qi, Madam is here."

However, that one sentence swept away Qi Jingyuan's vexed expression that was on his face due to Chu Xinlian's argument.

"Let her in."

This was the first time Chu Liangyun had ever been to Qi Jingyuan's office. It was a low-class, elegant, and black department design. On the table, steaming hot coffee was still placed there, and the fragrance was still drifting in the air.

"What is it?" Qi Jingyuan asked lightly.

There was a trace of a smile on Chu Liangyun's face as she said sincerely, "I came to thank you for clarifying this."

Qi Jingyuan looked at the woman's fair face and said in an emotionless voice: "Don't think too much about it."

"You're Mrs. Chi. For the sake of the Qi Family's face, it's my duty to help you clarify things."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what, I have to thank you." Chu Liangyun's voice was slightly lighter, but there was no trace of dejection in her tone.

The man looked at her indifferent appearance, as if he was used to it. Anger rose in his heart, and he mocked her with his lips.

"Then I'll tell you one more thing."

The cold tone was somewhat mysterious.

"Hmm?" Chu Liangyun sat on the sofa and looked at him. Her expression was natural and innocent. She looked unusually obedient. It was the first time Qi Jingyuan was stunned.

He lit up a cigarette and tapped the desk with his fingers. His eyes regained their clarity as he said, "I want to marry Chu Xinlian."

Only then did the woman on the sofa react. Her face instantly turned paler, but she still maintained her polite smile and said, "Congratulations, Director Qi."

"What don't you want to say?" Qi Jingyuan frowned and his voice turned slightly colder.

Chu Liangyun was still lost in her own thoughts. She turned a deaf ear to his words and hastily said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Stepping on his high heels, he left the office as if he was fleeing for his life, leaving Qi Jingyuan with a slim and slim back.

He put out the cigarette and his frown deepened.

Chu Liangyun walked out of the Qi's Group with trembling shoulders, the corner of her lips curving into a desolate arc.

Chu Liangyun, what are you dreaming about?

If you're healthy, you might have the strength to compete with Chu Xinlian. But now …

This man, Qi Jingyuan, is destined to be unattainable for you.

A few days later, it was time for the banquet hosted by the Gu family. The CEO of each of the big companies in the industry was invited, including Qi Jingyuan and Chu Liangyun.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the Gu Estate. The hall was filled with a lively atmosphere. The sounds of the dining car sliding and the clinking of wine cups overlapped, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Chu Liangyun was the one who should not let Gu Nanyi lose face the most when she was working with the Gu family. She arrived a long time ago, wearing a wine red dress with snow-white fur that accentuated her fair skin, making her look like a queen.

She exchanged a few words with Gu Nanyi about business matters and searched all over for a while, but she still couldn't find Qi Jingyuan.

Ten minutes before the banquet started, Qi Jingyuan was already there, which wasn't surprising at all.

Surprisingly, he had also brought someone with him.

A petite and weak girl wearing a snow-white dress stood beside Qi Jingyuan like a princess who had no knowledge of the affairs of the world. It was really out of place for such an occasion.

"Isn't that your sister?" Ji Shaozhan, who was at the side, seemed to want the world to be in chaos as he whispered into her ear. He looked at her pale face with interest.

"It's already like this, why aren't you getting a divorce and throwing yourself into my arms?" He smiled bitterly.

"Soon."

Chu Liangyun replied in an unknown tone, gulping down the red wine in her cup. She instantly coughed a few times as a sweet taste welled up in her throat, which was suppressed by her out of habit.

Seeing that, Ji Shaozhan didn't want to provoke her anymore, so he helped her go along with it.

Qi Jingyuan and Chu Xinlian's appearance seemed to be very casual, but it actually attracted a lot of discussion from the crowd.

"Isn't Qi's supposed to be an alliance?"

"The one he married is Director Chu, why did he bring another woman here?"

"Didn't Chu Liangyun create a scandal a while ago? From the looks of it, it is most likely true! "

"Are you talking about that Qi's Mistress' water attribute Yang Hua?"

"That's right!"

Qi Jingyuan was a cool looking man. In the business world, he had always been the dream lover of many women. There were many women who coveted Mrs. Chi's identity.

A few women were walking towards Chu Liangyun.

One of them, who was wearing a goose-yellow bra and knee-length skirt, smiled sweetly and asked politely, "Aiya, isn't this Mrs. Chi?"
