As Liu Yida was about to speak, Xiao Yi swept him with an icy glare. He suddenly came to his senses and sullenly shut his mouth.
The latter lounged against Xia Wei Liang, appearing lazy and casual, but in reality, possessive to the extreme, as if he were about to announce to everyone present that she was his.
Liu Yida retreated to the side. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xi Chi and froze again.
At this point,
Liu Yida seemed like a different person, bowing his head and retreating to the side respectfully.
"Yida~ my dear, why don't you say something!" Yan Yi Shuang had suffered such a great humiliation, losing both face and dignity. Now she could only hope Liu Yida would help her get justice.
To her surprise, Liu Yida completely ignored her!
"Yida! Did you hear me?"
Yan Yi Shuang stepped forward and grabbed his arm, shaking it. Liu Yida quickly pushed her away and said decisively, "Look at the mess you've caused! Hurry up and apologize to the two young ladies!"
This turnaround was quite swift.
Xia Wei Liang and Chu Qiao exchanged a glance, then smiled.
But they liked it!
"You, you want me to apologize? Liu Yida! I'm the one being bullied by them right now!" Yan Yi Shuang said in exasperation.
Everyone outside knew what was happening inside. If she admitted fault today, how could she ever leave this room?!
"Then do as you please. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by to discuss investment matters with Mr. Jiang."
"What do you mean? You're not getting involved?"
Yan Yi Shuang exploded on the spot, crying and making a scene at Liu Yida.
Mr. Jiang and Director Du stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or intervene.
Xia Wei Liang, however, watched with great interest!
She really wanted to connect with Assistant Director Wang; he would definitely like this scene!
"Let's go."
The person behind her spoke, then directly grabbed her arm and pulled her outside.
"Where are we going? I want to watch a bit longer..."
Xiao Yi ignored her. As he passed Xi Chi, he merely glanced at him faintly, said nothing, and dragged Xia Wei Liang away.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Teacher Xiao, God Yi, this is my turf after all. Don't I have any face, or am I faceless?!"
"Too much talking."
"..."
Xia Wei Liang's eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.
Teacher Xiao was too arrogant!
Seeing Xia Wei Liang leave, Chu Qiao also prepared to depart. After all, she had vented her anger and had no need to linger. Being ruthless wasn't Sister Qiao's style.
"Wait a moment."
Xi Chi gently tugged at her.
He looked up at Liu Yida, who was being pestered by Yan Yi Shuang, and slowly walked forward, "President Liu."
Liu Yida's body stiffened. He looked at Xi Chi blankly, not daring to move.
Yan Yi Shuang, still furious, stepped forward and shoved Liu Yida hard, "Are you even a man? He's just Chu Qiao's lapdog! Don't tell me you're afraid of him too?!"
Only the foolish Chu Qiao couldn't see Xi Chi's feelings for her!
But what good was that? He was just an assistant, a pipe dream!
Liu Yida's expression changed instantly.
Xi Chi still wore a gentle smile, as if he didn't care what she said. But Chu Qiao, protective, rolled up her sleeves and was about to join the fray again.
Just then, Liu Yida suddenly turned around and slapped Yan Yi Shuang across the face: "You idiot! If you want to die, die alone. Don't drag me down!"
This illegitimate young master of the Xiao family was ruthless and held grudges. Liu Yida would be insane to offend him for a woman!
Ignoring the stunned Yan Yi Shuang, he approached Xi Chi and said respectfully, "I apologize. I will discipline her when we get back."
"Heh heh... President Liu is too polite. But I'm just curious, is President Liu's taste always this peculiar?"
Liu Yida understood in an instant with that sentence.
He made a decisive move, "From now on, I have nothing to do with this woman. Whatever happens to her is none of my business!"
Yan Yi Shuang, clutching her face, was so enraged that she lunged forward, clawing and scratching at his face, "Liu Yida, you're turning your back on me! Do you think I'm easy to sleep with, that you can just discard me like this!!"
"Get lost! You crazy woman!"
"You call me crazy? Fine, then I'll show you how crazy I can be!"
"Ah! How dare you bite me... Ah—"
No one expected this farce to end in such a manner.
As they walked out, Chu Qiao had a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Chi asked her softly.
After considering for a few seconds, Chu Qiao turned and said seriously, "Xi Chi, even if you have no money or power, as long as you work hard, it's fine. But you must never take the wrong path!"
"?"
"Uh, seeing President Liu's attitude towards you, uh... although I don't have prejudice against such things, I still hope you, uh... you know..."
She stammered for a long time, and Xi Chi finally understood.
A large hand landed on her head.
Chu Qiao stiffened.
"I'm not."
"Then..."
"I like women."
"...Oh."
Chu Qiao was indeed extremely embarrassed.
She quickly changed the subject, "Where's Xiao Xia? I haven't seen her since we came out?"
Xi Chi glanced towards the end of the corridor, "She's probably been dragged away for a lecture."
Chu Qiao found it hard to understand, "Does the film emperor have to be so controlling?"
Xi Chi smiled slightly, his gentle eyes fixed on her, "That depends on who it is."
"..."
Why did she feel the atmosphere was unusual?
Why did she feel uncomfortable looking him in the eye?
"Uh... let's go."
She walked ahead, feeling awkward no matter how she thought about it.
However, thinking about the way Xiao Yi looked at Xia Wei Liang like a dean, she instantly felt that the world was beautiful, and all problems were no longer problems.
—
Xiao, the "Sect Leader" Yi, sat in the van, looking down at the person opposite him. He slowly crossed his legs and casually spun his green wristwatch.
"Fighting? Are you in elementary school?"
After speaking, he shook his head again, "Even elementary schoolers today know how to solve problems with their brains."
Da Yang, driving, commented truthfully, "Kindergarten middle class, can't be any older."
Xia Wei Liang's lips twitched fiercely, and she said unhappily, "Chu Qiao, that idiot, was pinned down and beaten. Is a war of words useful now?"
"So, fighting is justified?"
"Well... they had a knife to my throat, what else could I do? Besides, this whole thing started with me! Yan Yi Shuang insulted me, saying I sleep around to get resources, which is why Xiao Chu..."
"What did she say about you?"
Xiao Yi's eyes darkened.
"She said my resources were obtained by sleeping around, and also... that I was involved with you." Her voice grew softer and softer.
Xiao Yi glanced up at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Did she say it wrong?"
"..."
Xia Wei Liang really wanted to tape her own mouth shut.
The person opposite her suddenly leaned in, and the ambiguous atmosphere filled the air. Xia Wei Liang almost couldn't breathe and widened her eyes at him, "Teacher Xiao, can you please be mindful of the impact? I'm still in my rising phase! I can't have scandals!!"
Even if Da Yang had no observational skills, he knew what "indecent" meant and that he absolutely could not witness it. He quietly opened the car door and got out.
Xiao Yi slowly placed a hand on her face, his voice still languid, "So... you want it to be underground?"
