Zhan Jiayi could not hear the words of persuasion from Susu behind her. She only heard that Susu had agreed to talk to Qin Tianyi about it, and then happily said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if it works out or not, as long as you help me talk to President Qin and see what his attitude is, I'll have a better idea."
"Mm, that's no problem." Susu thought about mentioning it to Tianyi when she got back, it was a casual matter, and she would help if she could.
...
Xie Huibing cried like a tearful person in Feng Rou's room, "Mom, Mom! I can't reach Chengyi at all, and I don't know how he is now. Please help me."
Feng Rou looked at her second daughter with a indifferent expression, never expecting that Bai Chengyi would also have a hand in the recent sharp drop in Xie Group's stock price.
At first, this girl promised to help her and stand by her side, but for the Bai family, she turned around and begged Xie Zhendong, leaving her aside.
When she was locked up in the psychiatric hospital, she didn't even come to see her.
Now that Bai Chengyi was in trouble and came to beg her, she had seen through it completely. Xie Huibing didn't treat her as a mother at all.
"What are you panicking about? Bai Chengyi will at most go to jail for a few years, he won't die."
Xie Huibing cried and said, "If he goes to jail, what will happen to the Bai family, and what will happen to me?"
"I can't do anything about that either. I've been kicked out of the Xie family by your father, and I'm living under someone else's roof, unable to protect myself..."
"Uncle has always been the most important supplier to Xie's, will he know where Chengyi is locked up?" Xie Huibing only had her husband in her heart and wanted to find him as soon as possible.
Feng Rou finally understood that Xie Huibing wasn't really asking for her help, but wanted to ask Feng Yan for help.
"Your uncle is an outsider to Xie's after all, how would he know about Xie's internal affairs?" She said with some annoyance, "Stop crying and making a fuss here. You should think about how you will live after Bai Chengyi goes to jail."
"Mom!"
"I don't have a daughter like you!" Feng Rou said impatiently, "Do you know how your father treated me! But did you ever help me? Now if you have something, go find that old thing Xie Zhendong!"
"I want to find my dad too, but I can't find him anywhere. Could it be that he has already been harmed to death by that woman Zhan Jiayi?" After Xie Huibing left Zhan Jiayi's office, she went directly to Old Zhou.
But Old Zhou's secretary said that Old Zhou was not in the company and was avoiding her.
Later, she went to the Xie family again. At the door, she said she wanted to see the old lady, but the servants at the mansion wouldn't let her in.
She made a scene at the gate for a while. Lian Ma came out from inside and told her that the old lady was not feeling well and was recuperating, so she should stop making trouble, or they would have her thrown out.
She was so desperate that she found Feng Rou, thinking that her uncle Feng Yan, who had been doing business with Xie's, might be able to help her find Bai Chengyi's whereabouts.
But her mother also wanted to send her away. She really had no other way and slumped to the ground, crying even louder.
Feng Rou heard what she had just said and grabbed her with a terrifying grip, asking, "Stop crying! Where have you looked? Xie Zhendong won't die!"
Xie Huibing said nonsense, "If he doesn't die, how can Zhan Jiayi have absolute power... He's not in the group, nor is he at home... What kind of injury did he suffer that he hasn't shown up for so long? What else could it be if he's not here..."
Feng Rou was stunned and said, "Impossible, he won't die, and he can't die... He's just injured, he's definitely still alive."
"Mom, if Dad is just injured, which hospital is he staying in? Have you checked all the hospitals in Lancheng?" Xie Huibing retorted.
Feng Rou shook her head. After knowing that Xie Zhendong had an accident, she had only checked a few hospitals that Xie Zhendong might have gone to, but she found nothing.
She thought that maybe the old lady of the Xie family had arranged for Xie Zhendong to go to a private hospital. Anyway, no matter what, he would show up after his injuries healed.
With Xie Group here, he wouldn't abandon Xie Group.
She had been with Xie Zhendong for so many years, and she knew best that nothing was more important to him than Xie Group.
But now Xie Group was in such a crisis, and Xie Zhendong still hadn't shown up. Could it be that he was really, really gone?
Revenge against Xie Zhendong was the only belief she had to live on. If Xie Zhendong was dead, what was the point of her living!
"Mom." Xie Huibing crawled to Feng Rou, hugged one of her legs, and cried, "Let's go together to find that vixen Zhan Jiayi and force her to tell us my father's whereabouts. She must know..."
"Get out, stop crying and mourning here, go!" Feng Rou pulled her up, pushed her out of the room, and closed the door.
No matter how much she knocked on the door, Feng Rou just sat in the room without opening it again.
She had to confirm whether Xie Zhendong was still alive, but she wouldn't go to Zhan Jiayi directly with Xie Huibing. She had to find other ways.
...
Susu and Zhan Jiayi had dinner and returned home. Xiao Mei told her that Tianyi was in the study.
She checked on the children first, then went to the study to find him.
She pushed open the door and saw that he clearly saw her come in, but he was still wearing a stern face and pretended not to see her.
She thought he was unhappy again and stepped forward to coax him, saying, "Are you angry? I said I would definitely make you special dishes tomorrow."
"What if you have to work overtime again tomorrow?" Tianyi asked with a straight face, "Between your work and me, who is more important?"
Susu smiled and put her arm around his shoulder, saying, "You sound like a resentful woman. Of course, you are the most important."
"Liar." Tianyi still felt dissatisfied, but he also felt that he was being like a woman, having such resentment.
Susu chuckled and imitated him, pinching his face with a charming smile, "Baby, I won't lie to you."
"Woman, you are challenging my bottom line." Tianyi grabbed her wrist in return, stood up, and forced her into a corner.
"Ah, ah, it hurts! My wrist!" Susu gritted her teeth and cried out.
Tianyi smiled and released her, asking, "What did you eat outside tonight? It smells like mushroom soup."
Susu shook her wrist, which he had pinched painfully, and dared not look him in the eye, saying, "Actually, I didn't work overtime. Zhan Jiayi called me to have a meal."
"You said you were working overtime, you really lied to me..."
Before he could finish complaining, Susu interrupted him, "We ate healthy dishes. That restaurant is good. I'll take you to try it next time."
"No." Tianyi pretended to be angry and turned his back to her.
Susu said stubbornly, "If you don't want to go, then forget it. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to my room to take a bath and sleep."
She made a move to leave the study, but as soon as she reached the door, he pulled her back.
"You lied to me about working overtime, but you went to eat good food yourself, and you want to leave." He pulled her into his arms and carried her directly to the single sofa in the study.
Before Susu could say no, she was engulfed by his kiss and domineering presence.
The two of them tossed and turned in the study for a while. As Tianyi held her, she heard his stomach growl.
