"So, you mean that even if you're about to marry the boss, you won't cut ties with Qi Shifeng, right?" Zhang Wan was almost going crazy.
She was so daring! No wonder she could handle these two top - tier men with ease.
"Qi Shifeng is, after all, my son's father. How do you expect me to cut ties with him?" Xu Tingyu deliberately scoffed, her eyes full of contempt and pride.
Then, regardless of what Zhang Wan thought, she continued walking towards the dining table.
Zhang Wan was really infuriated by her attitude. She immediately stepped forward and blocked her way.
"So, this is your true face, isn't it? You've been putting on a non - compliant act in front of the boss these days just to boost your value, right?"
"Now that Qi Shifeng is here, you don't want to lose this big backer, so you want to have the best of both worlds? Xu Tingyu, aren't you ashamed?"
She was really excited, as if she was convinced that Xu Tingyu was a promiscuous woman. She even wished she could teach her a lesson on Qi Ye's behalf.
"Don't you know the boss is in poor health? Stimulating him like this is like trying to kill him."
"What on earth do you want?"
To be honest, it was the first time Xu Tingyu had seen Zhang Wan so emotional.
"Don't put it so harshly. Isn't all this just because your boss forced it? I think he quite enjoys it."
"But why are you so excited? Since he's happy, aren't you happy?"
"If you're not happy, then have the guts to convince him to stay away from me."
Xu Tingyu was too lazy to waste her breath on her. After a sarcastic remark, she was about to continue having her meal.
Leaving aside whether her outrageous remarks were true or not, what right did Zhang Wan have to criticize her?
Don't forget that it was she who helped Zhang Wan plan all this and got her tied up here.
As an accomplice, now she was standing on the moral high - ground.
What? In her mind, only Qi Ye was allowed to wrong others, and others weren't allowed to do the slightest thing wrong to him?
"You... you're going back on your word."
Zhang Wan simply couldn't argue with her and couldn't stop her either. She could only follow her step by step, still chattering non - stop.
"Shut up. I'll do whatever I want. It's none of your business. Got it?"
Xu Tingyu gracefully sat down on the chair.
On the dining table, a full table of dishes had already been served.
She hadn't been able to eat or sleep well for a while. Now that she was completely relaxed, her appetite naturally came back.
There were still many things to do next. She had to eat her fill.
She didn't invite Zhang Wan. She picked up her chopsticks and called Jiang Li beside her, "Let's eat, Jiang Li."
Jiang Li sat down on the other side. Looking at the healthy and lively Xu Tingyu, he was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Miss Xu, it's really great that you're okay."
During this period, so many things had happened in the Qi family. He had watched Qi Shifeng getting visibly thinner, and he was extremely anxious.
Fortunately, now both Xu Tingyu and Qi Shifeng were still alive. As long as Youyou came back, everything would be fine.
"Thanks for all your hard work during this period. Thank you. Have a drumstick."
Xu Tingyu said with a smile, and picked up a drumstick for Jiang Li.
The weather was not good today. It was gloomy outside, and the lights were on in the living room.
She had changed into a dress, and her long hair was scattered on her shoulders.
Under the light, her features seemed to be haloed with a hazy glow, exuding a completely different kind of charming beauty from when she was with Qi Ye.
Zhang Wan had been watching from the side.
Xu Tingyu didn't invite her to have dinner together, and she had no appetite either.
She knew she had lost control again just now.
It was really ridiculous. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been the exemplary child.
She had a good family background, was beautiful, and had good grades.
After her family went bankrupt, there was a period of hardship, but she had soon overcome it.
By Qi Ye's side, she had become more and more at ease, and everything she did was very proper.
But when it came to Xu Tingyu, she had repeatedly tasted the bitter taste of setbacks.
At this moment, she finally understood why Chen Chunyao had fallen out with her and gone crazy with jealousy.
She just had this ability to make people hate her.
Just as she was staring blankly at Xu Tingyu, she suddenly received a call.
She glanced at it, her face changed slightly, and she walked back to the room before answering it.
After seeing her leave, Xu Tingyu asked Jiang Li, "How did you guys come here? And what's the deal with those mercenaries?"
Coming here with a group of people and directly breaking into Qi Ye's mansion, and successfully taking her away, couldn't be achieved just by using some goading tactics on Qi Ye.
Moreover, no police had come until they left. She didn't think Qi Ye was that kind - hearted.
"Didn't BOSS tell you?" Jiang Li asked in confusion. Then he immediately realized something, and his face became unnatural.
These two had gone into the room as soon as they came back. Obviously, they were like newlyweds after a long separation. How could they have time to talk about other things?
Xu Tingyu knew he must have misunderstood.
It was true that they had gone into the room as soon as they came back, but in the end, they hadn't done anything. She had looked at the bloodshot eyes in Qi Shifeng's eyes and reminded him not to overdo it.
Qi Shifeng had laughed uncontrollably and then teased her for a while. In the end, he had obediently listened and just hugged her and slept for a while.
Even if he didn't say anything, she knew he must have been very hard - working during this period, which was why he had become so thin and the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were so startling.
So after lying with him for a while, she had gotten up to take a shower and then come out.
Qi Shifeng had probably suddenly relaxed, so he had slept very soundly.
However, it was not appropriate for her to explain these things to Jiang Li, so she could only default and explained somewhat awkwardly, "There was too much to say. We didn't manage to make it clear in a short time."
Jiang Li, who had realized his misunderstanding, quickly nodded and explained what had happened during this period.
Since Qi Shifeng had woken up from the hospital, he really hadn't had a single day of good rest.
He had mobilized all the connections he could, and money had been spent like snowflakes, just to get some news about Youyou.
During this period, there had been a lot of feedback, but when their people had rushed over, they had found out that it was all false.
It was really easy to hide a four - or five - year - old child.
Qi Shifeng had been undergoing treatment on one hand and working under high - intensity on the other. It had made Jiang Li tremble with fear, afraid that he would suddenly die.
"Then why did the news of his injury spread so widely? Is the public relations department of Qi Group so incompetent?"
Xu Tingyu still couldn't describe her feelings when she had found out that he had been seriously injured.
And those comments.
Those people had laughed at him as a cuckold, a poor wretch, and a lick - dog who ended up with nothing.
When Qi Ye had shown her these news, she hadn't shown any reaction.
Because she had to grit her teeth tightly to restrain the urge to kill.
She didn't mind being scolded herself. After all, she had experienced online violence more than once and didn't care anymore.
Even in the face of these, she had already learned to turn the negative into something positive. Just like when the company had faced several waves of negative publicity before, she had handled it in this way. Free traffic should not be wasted.
But Qi Shifeng couldn't.
How could he be humiliated like this?
Was the public relations department of Qi Group just watching their boss being bullied?
