C9 A Life-saving Straw

A life-saving straw in chapter nine.

The sound of water flowing came from the bathroom. Qi Xiuchen's face was cold. He took out his phone and looked at the time.

Bai Qingyu did not know that all of this was Lo Tianying's plan. She knew how to treat medicine and it was also that woman's meticulous arrangement.

She only knew that she no longer had any way to turn back.

"Damn it!" Rubbing her body fiercely, she cursed angrily.

Even though she already knew that to Murong Jue, the meaning of her existence had always been related to his interests. Even a moment of tenderness in the past was only vanity, without any true meaning.

Even if she knew that Qi Xiuchen had a relationship with her to save her.

However, the despair and pain in her heart was still devouring her bit by bit.

She didn't know that Qi Xiuchen had already put on his clothes and left the room.

In the meeting room next to the main hall of the villa.

Qi Xiuchen crossed his legs and looked indifferently at the coffee table in front of him. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

Not long after, the sound of the door opening came from the door.

"Young Master Qi, I have been waiting for a long time."

A man with a handsome face and a strong body walked in from the door.

He had a calm smile on his face. His original baby face looked mature and mature.

He was the owner of this villa, Lo Tianyu. He was also Lo Tianying's elder brother, the eldest son of Luo Guizhen Industries.

"Young Master Luo, get straight to the point. I believe you know what your sister did today."

The corner of Lo Tianyu's mouth darkened. Of course, he knew that every move in the villa was under his control.

He liked the feeling of being in control. Whether it was at home or in business.

Therefore, Qi Xiuchen was undoubtedly a powerful competitor to him, and also a partner that he had to win over.

"Younger sister is just joking. I hope Young Master Qi doesn't think too much and affect the relationship between our two families."

After saying that, Lo Tianyu walked up and sat down on the sofa opposite Qi Xiuchen.

Friendship?

Where did friendship come from in business? What they said was all about benefits.

Whoever brought more benefits to who would have a deeper friendship.

"Young Master Luo really knows how to joke. If your sister's actions are a joke, I don't mind having a similar joke with her."

Qi Xiuchen's expression turned cold, and his body emitted an aura that couldn't be ignored.

Lo Tianyu completely believed that Qi Xiuchen was serious. Was it because of this woman who suddenly appeared, Bai Qingyu?

He did not believe that the dignified Qi Xiuchen, the proud son of heaven who could call the wind and summon the rain in the business world, would be interested in a female lead who appeared in front of the media.

"Young Master Qi, could it be that you don't know what little sister is thinking about you?"

"I don't care about unimportant things." Qi Xiuchen used a simple and clear sentence to express his attitude.

"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. But this time it is indeed my fault for being rude. Young Master Qi, let's not bicker with a little girl like her!"

Lo Tianyu slightly raised his eyebrows, looking like a carefree person. He did not believe that Qi Xiuchen would not give him face.

As expected.

"Don't do it again. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."

After saying this, Qi Xiuchen stood up and tidied up the sleeves of his suit. He turned around with an indifferent expression.

"I heard Miss Bai is the beloved daughter of Bai's Group. She has a lot of shares in her hands."

Lo Tianyu's meaning was very clear. If Qi Xiuchen was interested in Bai Qingyu, it would be more accurate to say that he was interested in the benefits of this woman. It was more convincing.

"What Young Master Luo said makes sense."

After saying that, Qi Xiuchen smiled coldly, and his footsteps did not stop. How could his feelings towards Bai Qingyu be so easily seen through?

If she was seen through, wouldn't it be the same as exposing his weakness?

The third floor of the villa, Bai Qingyu's room.

"I can only take it one step at a time."

Bai Qingyu wiped her wet hair as she looked at herself in the mirror and muttered to herself.

There was tiredness between her brows and her face looked a little pale.

Her pure face was filled with melancholy.

She didn't know how to deal with the troublesome matter of the video. Moreover, his godfather hadn't woken up yet. He was really worried that the Bai's Group would fall apart because of him.

Murong Jue wouldn't give up so easily either!

"Is the bath done? It's done. Let's go."

"It'll be done soon."

Qi Xiuchen's quiet voice came from outside the bathroom door. Bai Qingyu's hand stopped moving and immediately replied.

After a while, Bai Qingyu walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

Bai Qingyu did not want to face Qi Xiuchen at this moment. After all, that had just happened to them.

"Miss Bai, don't worry. I, Qi Xiuchen, will take responsibility for you."

Qi Xiuchen smiled evilly. The corner of his mouth was lifted up, revealing an ambiguous expression.

He was the kind of person who had a very bewitching appearance. Bai Qingyu lifted her eyes to take a look and instantly lost her senses.

"I don't need you to be responsible for me. You said you would help me."

Right now, she wasn't that pretentious.

"You really don't need me to take responsibility?"

Qi Xiuchen did not want to talk about this topic so easily. He turned around and walked to the front of the bed, picking up the clothes that were scattered on the ground.

"Put on the clothes. I will take you back."

Take me back. Take me away. These two sentences sounded to Bai Qingyu's ears with a different meaning.

Bai Qingyu was silent for a while. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have heard someone say those words in her ear, I will take you away.

Seeing that Bai Qingyu did not speak, Qi Xiuchen walked towards her and passed the clothes in his hands to her.

"If you want to protect Bai's Group, you better listen to me obediently."

"What do you mean?"

At this moment, countless doubts arose in Bai Qingyu's heart.

Until now, she still did not understand why this man wanted to help her.

Could it be that he also wanted the shares of the Bai's Group in her hands?

"Can't you think of the person who planned all of this behind the scenes?"

"You mean..." Bai Qingyu took the clothes and stood still in a daze. Murong Jue actually wanted to harm her again?

"With Murong Jue's means, I'm afraid the Bai's Group will be his sooner or later."

He was not looking down on Bai Qingyu, but was speaking the truth.

Since Murong Jue had chosen to release the video at a lightning speed, it would definitely speed up the progress of the Bai's Group.

"I never thought that I would be schemed against by him to this extent after my match with him."

Obviously, Bai Qingyu had also counted what had happened today on Murong Jue.

Qi Xiuchen naturally heard her misunderstanding, but there seemed to be no need to explain anything.

"Can you really help me?"

Bai Qingyu looked up at Qi Xiuchen, there were too many uncertain feelings in her eyes.

But now, she was alone. There was no other way. Qi Xiuchen's appearance was no different from a life-saving straw.

"How do you want me to help you?"
