C46 Never Again

Ling Muxue's eyes trembled as she listened to his words. Of course, she remembered Xiao Qinghan's warning. "I told you that I have resigned. As for the contract between Charm Jewelry and Xiao's, the CEO will arrange for a more suitable candidate. He will not disappoint you." Ling Muxue said firmly.

"Good! Very good! I will make you beg me!"

With that, he turned around and left with a cold expression on his face. He was really out of his mind to come here and suffer Ling Muxue's anger.

In the next few days, Ling Muxue was busy submitting her resume online and looking for a job. She was surprised that Xiao Qinghan did not return to the villa in the Western suburbs, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Over the course of the next few days, she had interviewed a dozen companies, and she had been turned down for all sorts of reasons, despite the fact that she was qualified to be recruited by one of them.

After leaving the company, she looked up at the blue sky with a tired expression.

Suddenly, the phone in her bag rang. Ling Muxue thought it was from some company. She opened her bag and picked up the phone. She received the call, "Hello..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Xueqing's furious voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"Ling Muxue! Did you not pay for Yiyue's treatment? Why did I get the news from the hospital that the treatment had stopped? Do you have a conscience or not? You are really a vicious woman. You want to watch Yiyue suffer, and I will tell you that if anything happens to Yiyue, I will not spare you. You have to pay for Yiyue's medical fees now."

Originally, Ling Muxue was in a bad mood, but her tone and Lin Xueqing's words made Ling Muxue really unable to take it anymore and she could not help but roar in anger.

"Lin Xueqing, don't go too far!"

Lin Xueqing obviously did not expect Ling Muxue to shout at her, so she became even more furious, "Ling Muxue, what do you mean by me going too far? Huh? If it hadn't been for your uncle and me, your crazy mother would have been in the sanatorium, and you would have been rich, and you would have lived the life of one of your rich young ladies, and you wouldn't have cared about us..."

In fact, Lin Xueqing did not know who Ling Muxue was married. When Gu Shaochen left, logically speaking, she should not have been able to get married.

When she had moved out of the Ling family, they had found out that she was married for no reason. She did not invite anyone to a banquet, but they knew that her husband's family was very rich, so Lin Xueqing and Ling Yetian kept trying to get something out of her.

"Enough!"

Ling Muxue hung up the phone fiercely. She held the phone tightly and frowned. Her eyes were filled with anger as she stared at the phone screen.

Even if she hated Lin Xueqing and Ling Yetian, she couldn't just leave Ling Yiyue alone. But she had already paid the medical fees this month, how could she...

Taking a taxi to the hospital, Ling Yiyue's ward, she had already fallen asleep. Ling Yiyue, who was lying on the bed, was like a porcelain doll that could break at any time. That pale and powerless little face stung Ling Muxue's heart.

Ling Muxue left the ward and went to look for the attending physician, but in the face of Ling Muxue's questioning, the attending physician did his best to avoid her and told her to complete the discharge procedures tomorrow at the latest.

Sitting in the ward, she looked at Ling Yiyue worriedly. A strong sense of helplessness made her feel uncomfortable, and she could no longer breathe.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Yin Xiaoxiao.

"What happened to Xiaoxiao?"

Yin Xiaoxiao stuttered, "Muxue, I..."

Ling Muxue suddenly had a bad premonition and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Xiao-Xiao? Tell me quickly!"

"Muxue, I was fired!"

Suddenly, Ling Muxue felt as if it was raining. Immediately after that, Bald Ceo kept on calling her and begging her to go back to work and pay her double her salary.

The nurse in the sanatorium who took care of her mother called her and asked her to come and pick her up.

Ling Muxue immediately understood why she couldn't find a job. Who else could it be other than him?

Xiao's Group Building. This was the first time Ling Muxue had ever come to the Xiao's Group.

The staff in the secretary's office was shocked when they suddenly pushed open the CEO's office. Did this woman not want to live anymore?

When Ling Muxue entered the office, she was too busy to be surprised by the luxurious structure of the office. She glared at Xiao Qinghan who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cigar in his hand. His perfect profile was impeccable. His short maroon hair fluttered in the wind, and the sun enveloped his body. He looked like a handsome man in a painting.

But in Ling Muxue's eyes, he was a devil.

"Xiao Qinghan, what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Qinghan did not turn around to look at Ling Muxue. He slowly raised his finger, put the cigar on his lips, and took a deep breath.

He turned around, but his eyes were not on Ling Muxue. He walked towards the sofa and sat down on the leather sofa, extinguishing the cigarette butt. Then he leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. He looked at Ling Muxue with cold eyes and a face full of anger.

"I told you that you would come and beg me."

Ling Muxue stepped forward and said in a harsh voice, "Don't you just want to humiliate and torture me? You can torture me however you want to, but how can you make the hospital stop treating Yiyue? You even made my mother move out of the sanatorium and made Xiao-Xiao lose her job?"

Xiao Qinghan's eyes darkened as he sneered and said, "I have always been someone who can do what I say. Don't you know that?"

"You ..." She was powerless to fight against Xiao Qinghan, and she tried her best to avoid direct contact with him. She would dodge whenever she could, but there were many times when she couldn't control herself and quarreled with him. In the end, she would always be the one who was injured. So what if someone as cold-blooded as Xiao Qinghan hurt her family and friends?

"What will you do to let me and them go?" Ling Muxue tried her best to hold it in.

"Humph! Is Miss Ling suffering from amnesia?"

Ling Muxue lowered her eyes and paused for a moment. She said in a weak and deep voice, "Alright, I'll take over the contract. I hope Mr Xiao won't make things difficult for my mother and the others after this contract is over."

Xiao Qinghan's thin lips curled into a mocking smile as he listened to her surrender. "Why are you begging me now?"

Ling Muxue suddenly raised her eyes and looked into Xiao Qinghan's cold eyes that were filled with playfulness. She really wanted to get angry. His words could provoke her anger, so she tried her best to endure it. She could not get angry. Once she got angry, she didn't know what Xiao Qinghan would do.

In these helpless moments, the image of a person would come to her, and she would have the urge to cry, to wonder why God was torturing her, to wonder what she had done wrong, to want to live a simple life, but such a simple wish was so extravagant to her now.

"What do you want me to do?"

Xiao Qinghan stared at her as if he could see right through her. The helplessness in her eyes, the pain in her heart, the sadness in her, all of them had undoubtedly pierced his heart, and she was actually thinking about him again.

He only had the same wish as her, but it was forever impossible.
