At the entrance of the company.
Luo Lixi was stopped by the receptionist from going in. She didn't get upset and asked politely, "Can you tell Sheng Ruming that Xixi has come? I have to meet him right now. It's urgent!"
The receptionist remembered Luo Lixi as she was thrown out with Pan Er Jiu yesterday. She labelled her as a troublemaker. Thus, she didn't act politely and replied stiffly, "Sorry, you can't. Please leave."
"Just notify him once. If he doesn't want to see me then I will leave immediately." Luo Lixi said calmly. She was a bit embarrassed as she saw the look in the receptionist's eyes.
How could she forget that yesterday, both she and Pan Er Jiu were told to leave the company by Sheng Ruming's instructions?!
'That man… he will pay for it!' Luo Lixi gnashed her teeth and stared at the receptionist with firm eyes. Looking at the serious expression on her face, the receptionist was taken aback.
She hesitated for a moment and then dialled Ji Yanli's number.
"Miss, the lady who came yesterday is asking to meet the CEO again."
"Oh?" Ji Yanli blinked her eyes and remembered the things Xiao Huang did. How could such obvious movements be hidden from her?
Ji Yanli glanced at the other three men in the room. She tsked in her mind and replied, "Tell her the truth."
"Alright." The receptionist said and then turned to Luo Lixi. "CEO Sheng hasn't come to the company yet."
"Ah!" Luo Lixi frowned and then glanced towards Zhao Yichen subconsciously whose face had turned gloomy. To the man, it seemed as if the receptionist was lying to Luo Lixi on purpose.
Luo Lixi told him to control his expression with her eyes and then asked the receptionist, "Can you give me his number? Xiao Huang's number will do too."
"Sorry. I can't." The woman shook her head. Her eyes held disdain for the futile attempts of Luo Lixi.
Zhao Yichen felt anger rushing in his heart. He grabbed Luo Lixi's hand tightly and murmured, "If you want to open a studio in this city, we can do it without others help! Let's leave now!"
"Eh?! But! But!"
But the man didn't want to hear her words and dragged her out. At that time, Luo Lixi felt she would lose too much face if she returned to give her number to the receptionist.
Zhao Yichen had already called someone with his phone. In no time, a helicopter came to the front of the company and landed. Zhao Yichen led her and Pan Er Jiu towards it and soon the helicopter left the ground.
Wang Haixiao stood in front of the glass wall and frowned. Ji Yanli, who was beside him, turned around and said, "Isn't that woman… Er Jiu? What a coincidence."
Wang Haixiao stiffened by her comment. He hurriedly walked away and went to his desk to work. Ji Yanli smirked as she made her way outside.
Chen Shubin glanced at Wang Haixiao and asked, "What's wrong with you two again?"
"Nothing." Wang Haixiao replied and then glanced at his keyboard. After working for a few minutes, his phone dinged as a message came.
His eyes changed as he saw it and then called Ji Yanli.
"You got the offer?"
"Hm. You too?"
"Shall we go together?"
"I will think." Ji Yanli whispered and then glanced at the blue sky. On the terrace of the Sheng Industry and Corporation, she would always come to spend time for herself.
Ring~ Ring~
Suddenly as if to ruin her melancholy mood, her phone buzzed out abruptly. Ji Yanli frowned as she glanced at the phone with annoyance. She put down her boba tea and glanced at the screen.
"Mr Yan, how can I help you?"
Hearing the cold voice, Yan Luhan chuckled. He glanced at the clock and asked, "Want to go for breakfast?"
"No, thanks. I was having my breakfast on the terrace garden when you disrupted me." Ji Yanli didn't sound polite as she picked her tea and sucked the straw hard.
Hearing the sound, Yan Luhan could imagine what was happening on the other side. His eyes darkened as he glanced outside. From the top floor of the Yan Business Group, the building of the Sheng Industry and Corporation could be seen.
Even though the building looked very small, Yan Luhan felt as if he could see the woman, sitting on a table and drinking something.
"Yanli, what do you think of me?" Yan Luhan suddenly asked.
"Cough!" Ji Yanli suddenly choked by his question and glanced at the tea which spilled on her food. Her mood became bad instantly and the thought to irritate him flashed in her mind.
"I have someone I like. The fondness I had for you has died a long time ago. So don't ask these kinds of questions in the future. You will only face my rejection. I guess a big man like you doesn't like that bitter feeling either."
After giving the man a piece of her mind she directly hung up the call. She didn't have the mood to enjoy the atmosphere anymore and stared at the clouds with a frown.
Then she remembered that once her father also asked her to marry and settle down. She wondered if the man had approached her father or not. 'The matter will get complicated if father intervenes in my life…'
After thinking for a while she finally came to a decision. She called Wang Haixiao and suggested with a smile, "Let's go abroad. It's time to broaden our horizons!"
"Hmm." Naturally, the man didn't have any objection. Rather, he was happy and gladly agreed.
…
When Sheng Ruming went back to the Sheng Villa, to his shock Luo Lixi wasn't there. But luckily, he had already figured out the real identity of the other person. He went to his bedroom and closed the door.
Then, he opened the social media platform and began to search for Lili Xi. When he saw the familiar eyes on the profile picture, his heart softened.
He directly sent her a friend request and eagerly waited for her reply.
…
At the Long city, Luo Mansion.
Luo Lixi walked in with hurried steps while Pan Er Jiu and Zhao Yichen followed her closely. As soon as she saw her mother and grandmother, she ran up to them.
"Grandma, ma, I have returned!" She excitedly said and then pounced on the two women. They were waiting for Luo Lixi for a long time too and upon watching her enthusiastic behaviour, their eyes softened.
"Welcome home, my child." Madam Tang whispered and then rubbed Luo Lixi's head.
Sun Xumei moved towards Luo Lixi when the latter sat between the two old ladies. She stared at her worriedly and inquired, "Is your work done in the Ming city?"
Luo Lixi paused and then shook her head bitterly. "It's fine. I can go back later." Then she turned to Madam Tang and asked worriedly, "How is grandfather? I heard he's not well?"
"Hmm." Madam Tang remembered something and her lips twisted as a bad feeling crawled in her heart. To hide it, she coughed gently and said, "It is me who has been unwell for a long time yet… sigh!"
Luo Lixi became anxious as she remembered the content of the previous world. She clenched her palms and whispered, "There must be a way. We can bring him to the capital. If needed, to the best hospital in the world!"
Madam Tang's mood brightened by her words. She nodded, "If needed, we will. Now that you are here, I am much assured. He will surely agree to get it."
Luo Lixi nodded but then she felt something was wrong with her grandma's words. But she didn't have the time to ask as her phone rang out.
It was Pan Er Jiu who brought this after Zhao Yichen's instruction. She glanced at the screen and her heart began to throb violently.
"What's wrong? Did something go wrong with your work?" Sun Xumei asked worriedly. The person she cared the most was still the girl in front of her.
Even if Luo Lixi had gone abroad and became successful, she still couldn't help but worry for her every day.
"It's… fine." Luo Lixi replied and then glanced around. Sun Xumei realised what her eyes were searching for and answered for her.
"The others are in the company."
"Grandfather too?! Isn't his health bad?" Luo Lixi asked worriedly.
"Ah, don't you know his personality? Is he someone who'll listen to others?" Madam Tang said with a wry smile as she stood up, "Child, you go to your room and freshen up first. Then come down to eat something."
Luo Lixi nodded and then hurriedly walked up the stairs. Sun Xumei had some matters to talk about but she held herself back. Madam Tang saw this and said expressionlessly.
"You can talk with her later. She has just come. It's not the right time to discuss those."
"Yes." Sun Xumei obeyed and followed Madam Tang to the kitchen. Her eyes went to the second floor from time to time as she was worried for some unknown reason.
