Zhao Tianyi sneered, his tone full of ridicule: "You don't think that I have a good impression of you because I married you, right?"

I shivered under his thin, cold gaze. I knew in my heart that Zhao Tianyi didn't marry me because he liked me. No matter what goal he had in marrying me, I never thought that Zhao Tianyi would mock me in such a straightforward manner.

I sucked in a breath of cold air. When I saw the complicated look in his eyes, I opened my mouth but no sound came out from my throat.

He leaned close to my ear and lowered his voice. "Xia Zhen, don't be emotional with me. You can't afford to lose."

For a moment I was frozen, staring at him with dilated eyes.

He told me not to have any feelings for him...

Zhao Tianyi suppressed all the emotions on his face. He straightened his body and brushed past me before leaving, leaving me alone on the spot. For a long time, I couldn't get my mind back.

"What doesn't Miss Xia understand about the contract?" Qi Chen laughed, "The contract term is three years. During these three years, you and Director Zhao will be husband and wife, of course, you will have all the rights and interests of Mrs. Zhao, Director Zhao will not interfere with your life, but the premise is that you and the opposite sex have a certain distance within the contract, if necessary, you must attend with Director Zhao. After the contract ends, Director Zhao will give you the appropriate compensation." "But I hope you can understand that you and Director Zhao are only in a cooperative relationship, so don't interfere too much in Director Zhao's private life. Director Zhao hates acting the truth the most, Miss Xia should understand what I mean."

Qi Chen said with a hint of warning.

I looked up at him and said nothing.

"Miss Xia, if there's no problem with the contract, you can sign it now." Qi Chen pointed at the contract on the table and reminded them.

I signed my name neatly on the contract and said hoarsely, "I happen to hate acting."

Qi Chen put away the contract and smiled in satisfaction: "Miss Xia being able to think like this is definitely the best."

I licked my dry lips. My throat was very dry. "How is my father?"

"Your father's situation isn't too good. Right now, transferring to the hospital isn't good for Director Xia's health. Director Zhao has already arranged for the most professional medical team to come here. Tomorrow morning, he will conduct a comprehensive examination for Director Xia and then formulate a treatment plan. Miss Xia doesn't need to worry." He spoke in a businesslike manner.

My hanging heart finally settled, and I collapsed into a chair.

"Miss Xia can call me anytime if she wants." Qi Chen glanced at me before leaving.

The moment Qi Chen left, I received a call from Assistant Lin. He panted heavily and said with a teary voice, "Miss Xia, come here quickly. Zhao Benyuan wants to kick you out of the company!"

After hanging up, I hurried to the company.

From a distance, I saw Assistant Lin standing at the entrance of the company looking forward to the future. I walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Assistant Lin held my hand tightly: "There's a problem with the cooperation that you're in charge of, and the partner suddenly has to stop the cooperation. Because of this, Zhao Benyuan wanted to kick you out of the company.

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know that the Kantai was going to stop the cooperation?" I scratched my hair in frustration.

I have prepared a cooperation with Kantai for most of the year, and Kantai has always walked into the export trade. As long as we reach a long-term cooperation with Kantai, Xia's would only earn us profit without losing anything. My father intentionally cooperated with Kantai on purpose. He invested too much money into the early stages of this case, and furthermore, at this time, the interior of Xia's was in turmoil. If our cooperation with Kantai turned sour again, then Xia's …

I dare not think of this.

"So many things have happened and Director Xia is now in the hospital. I wanted to tell you more than necessary so I didn't tell you. Who knew that Zhao Benyuan would take this opportunity to kick you out of the company?" I still don't know how Boss Xia's situation will turn out, but at this juncture, you must not be kicked out of the company, otherwise Xia's will really change its name! "

I secretly clenched my fists. I definitely couldn't let my Xia's fall into Zhao Benyuan's hands.

Assistant Lin and I walked into the company. My colleagues looked at me and stared at me strangely. They whispered to each other. I ignored him and walked straight back to my office.

The office door was wide open, and from time to time, objects were thrown out, letting out ear-piercing sounds.

I walked over and saw Qi Shan leaning against my chair in a bright red dress, commanding the men to throw my things out.

"What's the matter with you?" I gritted my teeth and snapped at her.

Qi Shan looked at me with a smile that was like a blossoming flower that was trembling, and asked with a ridiculing expression: "Xia Zhen, I'm the chairman of Xia's now, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like that?"

My heart hurts. My dad has been smart all his life, plotting against this and that. Even I didn't tell him about his wealth, but now Qi Shan has taken it from him. Whenever I think about how Qi Shan took my dad's money and Zhao Benyuan's money, I want to tear the two of them into pieces.

"It just so happens that you're here. Let's take this trash away." Qi Shan stood up and walked towards me with a pair of stiletto heels. "I'll formally inform you that you've been expelled."

Qi Shan was extremely beautiful. When she smiled, her eyes were curved and her face looked harmless. She was just like a dog that could bite. She never barked.

"In your dreams."

She leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Xia Zhen, you still don't know, right? Five years ago, the things you did with a bewitched girl were done by your source. He said he couldn't be bothered to touch a woman like you.

I shivered at what Qi Shan had said, and the memory of that night five years ago replayed in my head.

An unfamiliar smell, pain, and screams.

That night was a past I would never forget no matter how hard I tried. Midnight's nightmare almost drove me crazy.

But Qi Shan told me that the mastermind is Zhao Benyuan!

My eyes reddened and my lips trembled uncontrollably. "What did you say?"

Qi Shan laughed even more and was surprised. "You still don't know? It's no wonder that you are as stupid as that old fogey. Just a few words of flattery could cause you to spin around. After being toyed with for so many years, you even ended up with a bad reputation. Xia Zhen, tell me about you. How could you be so stupid? Just take this lesson as something that I taught you, take this old man and leave the Qi City quickly, you are just a street rat right now, everyone is shouting and hitting you, don't embarrass yourself here! "

Gritting my teeth, I used all of my strength to slap him. "I really should have seen your ugly appearance earlier. You deserved to be sold that year. You asked for it!"
