Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 81

Xi Jian breathed a sigh of relief after facing two women who suddenly turned crazy. They cried and laughed at the same time without him knowing why. He urged the two women out of there before his neck grew one more head. Yang Zi and Hui Jia bid farewell after nearly two hours of pestering and interrogating who might be the wife who even Xi Jian did not know existed.

After leaning his head for a while, Xi Jian called Bai Xu and resumed his office matters. King Empire’s shares were still not stable, some people who own shares under one percent even dare to sell their shares out. although not cost much but in the eyes of other businessmen who had waited a long time to defeat King Empire, it was a golden gap. Xi Jian needed to think quickly before the rats below him take action.

He dealt on a hospital bed with a scary aura. When something keeps coming up, he just had to take care of it with cold hands like he has been doing for years. There were no businessmen who do business really clean. So Xi Jian was. He did not hesitate to use his source to crush anyone who got in the way. In this forest called the business world, only the top-ranking people will be feared. Bai Xu listened to Xi Jian’s instructions without falling behind. A smile hung over his stiff lips.

“If you think it’s an emergency and can’t wait for me, finish it your way.” Xi Jian ended his order.

Xi Jian’s trust was more valuable to Bai Xu. Xi Jian saved him, gave him work and shelter. He would not waste it just like that. Whoever was Xi Jian’s enemy, they would become his enemy too.

Ling Yue paced the room. The conversation with his grandfather ended awkwardly. Before she left, grandfather gave him a paper folder. Ling Yue looked at the paper folder on the bed. Ling Yujin asked him to persuade Xi Jian to sign the contract marriage. Ling Yue looked at the contents of the contract many times. As a lawyer, she saw the contents of this contract benefiting the Ling family, but as a person, Ling Yue felt his grandfather wanted to rob the King Empire. Ling Yue took the folder and stuffed it in her closet. She won’t do it.

The next day, Ling Yue chose to come to the office rather than to the hospital. Although Xi Jian said that her job was transferred to the hospital, she did not care. She could not meet Xi Jian now when her mind was in a mess.

Ling Yue was greeted with insulting glances from Xi Jian’s two secretaries, not to mention the whole way to the elevator. Ling Yue didn’t bother. She did not say hello either and entered her room. She began to look through the documents of King Empire’s agreement with several other companies. Catching the word ‘contract’, her mind returned to the Ling Yujin paper folder.

“What did Grandfather think to suggest this?” Ling Yue really felt this was embarrassing. “Do you really want King Empire shares?”

Ling Yue spent the day without enthusiasm.

Meanwhile Xi Jian turned his head every time the VIP door opened. Doctors and nurses went in and out to check on him, several of his subordinates came to report, and his mother came again. No matter how many times he stared at the brown door, the person he wanted appeared from behind it didn’t appear.

His mood got worse when Ling Yue didn’t show up the next day and the day after and even after that. The bandage was almost opened and he had no one else to celebrate this. He called Bai Xu.

“Is Ling Yue in the office?”

Bai Xu caught Xi Jian’s unfriendly voice. He looked straight not far from where he sat. Now at lunchtime, Bai Xu accidentally eats in the canteen to reduce his fatigue, who would have thought his boss called at this exact time.

“Miss Ling is having lunch in the canteen.”

“Is she with you?” Xi Jian’s sharp voice made Bai Xu release his spoon.

“No. No. She’s sitting at another table with other employees.”

“Male or female?”

Bai Xu needs to blink to understand Xi Jian’s question. “Most of them are men … but there are also women too!” Bai Xu added quickly, but too late, Xi Jian only heard the first part.

“Get her here now!” Xi Jian closed his call furiously. The boss here was sick and injured, but instead she was busy chatting with other men. It couldn’t be forgiven!

Bai Xu approached Ling Yue with a guilty face. Seeing Bai Xu standing beside their table, the other employees stood up and greeted him.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?” Ling Yue looked at him questioningly but Bai Xu didn’t say anything else after that. Ling Yue stood up and followed Bai Xu.

Ling Yue’s new friends who were still sitting at the table began to whisper.

“Look, Mr. Bai rarely interferes with other people while eating. What happened?”

“Are they perhaps …?”

They looked at each other and exchanged meaningful smiles.
