Ye Junli didn't say anything else. He just told me to wait.

"Hey, Zhou Xiang, when do you think Young Master Li will help us find the culprit?" Wu Meng could not help but grumble at lunch that day, but her words were filled with anticipation for Ye Junli.

Who would have known that such a simple question would cause Wu Meng's face to redden. She lowered her head and said bashfully: "Of course Young Master Li is very outstanding, he is such a haughty and aloof person, yet he stood up for us. I feel that this is like a dream, Zhou Xiang, don't you think that he is very handsome?"

"Wu Meng, do you still remember what I told you that day? There are countless beauties by Ye Junli's side. He isn't someone you can control. " I tried to persuade his.

Wu Meng's eyes dimmed, and after eating a mouthful of food, he said: "I understand what you're talking about, and I know what kind of person he is, but I never thought of doing anything with him. After all, with his identity, even Miss Yan Yue is unable to do anything to him, let alone me."

I heaved a sigh of relief, I was relieved that Wu Meng could think like this, after all, every girl had thought about this before, she would definitely calm down.

"Zhou Xiang, are you worried that I have fallen for Young Master Li?" Wu Meng suddenly asked me.

I was stunned. She had already seen through my thoughts. I felt a little embarrassed and replied, "I just … …." I was afraid you'd get hurt. "

Wu Meng laughed, "I know what I am capable of, and I don't want to waste my time thinking about that right now, I just want to participate in the competition. Maybe one day I will succeed, and then I will be worthy of Young Master Li."

I also laughed, Wu Meng was still too innocent even when she was in Earth Realm, but I was relieved that she could think like this.

After lunch break, the two of us returned to the company. We were already used to their busy work, but we still felt a bit frustrated.

It wasn't easy for me to get off work, but I didn't say anything to Ye Junli on the way. With Ye Junli's depressed personality, he probably went through a day of hard work, so he didn't say anything to me.

In the end, unexpectedly, the two of us had just finished eating dinner and we were greeted with an unexpected guest.

When the servant brought Madam Ye and Liu Rui in, I was really shocked. My intuition told me that there was definitely nothing good going on.

Liu Rui was still the same as usual. She didn't even look at me and directly greeted Ye Junli, but Ye Junli was also extremely cold towards her.

Madam Ye's face did not look good. She was obviously angry, and immediately questioned Ye Junli, "Junli, do you know about the matter of the company's Design Draft being lost?"

My heart sank. I didn't think that they would actually come here to talk about the Design Draft. I was flustered.

However, Ye Junli was clearly not as nervous as I am. He calmly sat on the sofa, flipped through a financial magazine and lightly said, "It's just a matter of a Design Draft, and I have to trouble you to come personally? Isn't that a bit too much of a fuss? "

Madam Ye didn't continue to talk to him. Instead, he looked at me with a sharp gaze and sneered: "You really don't care about the Ye Family's face anymore. You actually started living together with such a woman?"

Ye Junli put down the magazine, looked up at her and said, "Madam Ye, I advise you to not meddle in other people's business, whatever happens between the two of us has nothing to do with you. Also, even if the Ye Family loses face, you don't have to be responsible for it."

I looked at Madam Ye, whose expression had clearly changed. Liu Rui opened her mouth at the side and said, "Junli, why do you say that? We are all members of the Ye Family, you don't have to be like this …"

"You call yourself a member of the Ye Family?" Ye Junli interrupted her coldly.

Liu Rui was probably used to Ye Junli's attitude and did not display any expression of shame or anger. Instead, she gave a rather calm smile and said, "Miss Zhou, the mother and son pair here need to discuss some matters regarding the management of the company. Why don't the two of us leave for a while?"

I raised my head to look at her, not knowing what else she was planning, but I saw Ye Junli and Madam Ye who were staring at each other with their eyes, and knew that it was not appropriate for me to stay here, so I could only nod and follow Liu Rui out.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back to glance at Ye Junli, but he didn't expect to meet his unperturbed eyes.

For some reason, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I followed Liu Rui out of the study room and sat outside for a while. I didn't really want to talk to her, but she obviously had something she wanted to say to me. She opened her mouth a few times before asking, "Zhou Xiang, how have you been recently?"

When I heard her tone, I felt that it was laughable. I opened my mouth and bluntly said, "Just ask what you want to ask. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Contrary to my expectations, Liu Rui had a trace of awkwardness on her face. She had a completely different expression than when she was facing Ye Junli, and instead, looked like a different person. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Zhou Xiang, I know you hate me, but I was forced …"

"Forced?" Hearing her words, I immediately became angry, "Liu Rui, why are you saying that there is no other choice? Do you know how Xiao Nian and I have been doing all these years? Do you know how much suffering we've endured … "

I choked with sobs, unable to continue. I remembered how Xiao Nian looked when he fell into a pool of blood, if it wasn't for this woman abandoning me, who was still young then, how could we have gotten into trouble with someone like Hei Baozi. Xiao Nian, he wouldn't have left just like that.

"Zhou Xiang, I …" Tears welled in her eyes as she lowered her head to wipe them away. She then continued, "I really had no other choice, I actually went to look for you later, but you guys had already left, I couldn't find you guys …"

"Stop being so hypocritical!" I coldly asked, "Why are you looking for us?" At that time, Xiao Nian and I would have already lost our way, that's why we chose to leave. Even if you did go back, it's already too late! "
