Chapter 144 - The People Who We Missed

In the blink of an eye, two weeks had gone.

The sun came out every day, but the north wind was more violent. After that day, nothing changed.

Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin finally had no contact. Since that day, Chen Kexin’s mobile phone had been turned off. Moreover, Wang Weixi could not get close to Chen Derong’s villa within 100 meters. Chen Derong was afraid that Wang Weixi would disturb Chen Kexin, so many bodyguards were arranged around the villa.

In the early morning, Chen Kexin woke up early and looked at the ceiling listlessly. How many days had passed? She didn’t know, but she knew that Wang Weix seemed to come every day. Even though nobody said it, she could feel it.

Chen Keren opened the door and came in. She looked at Chen Kexin, who was lying in bed and said nothing, whispering, “Are you awake? Go downstairs to have breakfast.”

Chen Kexin turned away and looked at Chen Keren. Recently, she also looked seedy. “Haven’t you contacted with Duanfang?” Chen Kexin asked with some concern.

Chen Keren hesitated for a second and said, “No, I said good night last night.”

Chen Kexin nodded, “I’m sorry…”

Chen Kexin knew that Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang had conflicts because of her.

“What are you talking about? We didn’t have any big problems in our relationship. Get up to have a meal. You’re not allowed to abuse my little nephew.”

Chen Kexin touched her lower abdomen and smiled gently, saying, “How dare I? Ok, I’ll get up.”

Since she came out of the hospital, Chen Kexin had not slept late. Perhaps she had so much to think about. Although she slept very early, she was always groggy after waking up.

“Where’s Dad?” Chen Kexin went downstairs to eat, looking at the empty hall, strangely asked.

During this period, Chen Derong was eagerly attentive. In addition to working hours, he ate and drank tea at home with Chen Kexin. Although Chen Keren was still icy, it could be seen that her relationship with Chen Derong was no longer the same as before.

However…

“He seems to begin to set foot into tourism. He went on a business trip early this morning. He may come back after several days.” Chen Keren took a sip of tea and said simply. “Go and eat.”

Chen Kexin nodded and hesitated before asking, “Dad hasn’t contacted with the aunt?”

Chen Keren did not look up and said, “I don’t know. What’s wrong? Should it matter?”

Chen Kexin did not speak but ate quietly.

“If he’s available, ask Duanfang to come… I miss him.” After a while, Chen Kexin said.

As Chen Keren stopped, Chen Kexin’s heart missed a beat. As expected, they hadn’t reconciled. She felt remorseful again.

Chen Kexin put down the glass and folded the newspaper. She said simply, “I’ll tell him. After you get well, let’s hang out again.”

After hearing it, Chen Kexin nodded happily and said, “You can’t lie to me.”

Chen Keren nodded, “Hmm.”

…

11 o’ clock at noon.

Chen Keren hadn’t got off work. Chen Kexin rode in a car and went to a place near Wang Weixi’s company.

The driver was Little Six.

“Miss, why do you come here again? Do you want to see your husband?” Little Six asked with puzzlement. Although he knew that he was entitled to interfere with her, he couldn’t help but ask.

Looking at Chen Kexin in the back seat, Little Six had mixed feelings. Since he came to the Chen family, he fell in love with her… At that time, he thought it was an impossible dream. Later, he found that he was wrong. Finally, Chen Kexin chose an ugly duckling instead of a rich childe. The man was so ordinary that Little Six disdained him. What’s more, the man did not cherish her at all.

“She’s so kind. How can he make her sad?”

Chen Kexin shook her head and said coldly, “No, I just want to see him from afar. Ho-ho… Am I stupid?”

Little Six didn’t talk, but he repeated it mentally countless times. “Yeah, you’re really stupid. You can be very happy, and someone can make you happy. But… why did you choose him?

…

Chen Derong promised Chen Kexin that he would not take things back from Wang Weixi. However, after the well-informed top executives knew what happened between Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin, they degraded him from the General Manager to a staff.

From hell to heaven, one always needed to experience numerous difficulties and dangers for many years. However, it only took a moment from heaven to hell.

What Tong Siqi did got around the company. Coincidentally, some colleagues were in the hospital on that day. More coincidentally, they saw Wang Weixi.

However, nothing could be kept secret forever in this world. Even someone would keep their mouths shut, an unexpected encounter happened all the time.

Dinner-party chatter focused on Wang Weixi’s demotion, Tong Siqi’s arrest, and Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin’ divorce.

Yi Duanfang sat in the office and rifled through a stack of papers distractedly. The new general manager had not been chosen yet. The top executives naturally knew the relationship between Yi Duanfang and Chen Keren. Moreover, Chen Derong treated Yi Duanfang very well. Although he did not appear personally, his secretary came a few times. Despite they managed to exchange courtesies, Yi Duanfang felt extremely flattered. The top executives were eager to promote Yi Duanfang to be the general manager. Yi Duanfang clearly knew their ideas, but he was not interested in this position. What’s more, he thought this position should have been Wang Weixi’s.

“Director, President asked you to look at the proposal.” Lan Ling knocked and came in. He put a file on Yi Duanfang’s desk. After Wang Weixi was demoted, Lan Ling was promoted to assistant president. Obviously, Chen Derong inspired this appointment, because he would express appreciation for Chen Kexin’s savior. Lan Ling knew these because she was a clever woman. Therefore, she felt at ease to take this position.

Yi Duanfang said angrily, “Doesn’t the old man know that these are the general manager’s business?”

Lan Ling looked at him and felt a little ludicrous.

Yi Duanfang reluctantly touche his forehead. He glanced at Lan Ling and asked, “Are you happy to be the assistant president?”

Lan Ling stopped smiling. She looked at Yi Duanfang with disdain, “So, Director Yi, do you think I should be unhappy?”

Yi Duanfang said nothing.

Lan Ling turned around and prepared to leave.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and asked, “If President promotes you to be general manager, will you be happy?”

Yi Duanfang answered without hesitation, “NO. I won’t allow it. I’m satisfied with being a Director. I’m not suited to being a general manager.”

“Not suited? Or you think that it’s Wang Weixi’s?” Lan Ling asked curiously.

Yi Duanfang looked up and gave a meaningful smile, “Since you know the answer, why do you ask me?”

Lan Ling laughed, turned back and prepared to leave.

“Thank you for saving Kexin that day.”

“It’s just a lift of the finger. What’s more… she’s a good woman. She shouldn’t endure anything so cruel.”

…

After watching Lan Ling go, Yi Duanfang looked at the proposal carefully.

Outdoor, Someone was seemingly asking Wang Weixi to send files to the upstairs.

Yi Duanfang cupped his face in one hand and thought of Chen Keren’s question that night.

He suddenly laughed. At that moment, he felt embarrassed while being asked like that. Thus, he ran away. Did it show that he was not strong-willed?

In recent days, those who were dissatisfied with Wang Weixi’s sudden promotion bullied him in different ways. However, Wang Weixi willingly bore the burden of hard works as before, without any complaint.

Gossip and harsh words were always heard. However, Wang Weixi remained silent. Yi Duanfang hated him like this, so he was angry and sad. He determined not to speak to him.

Upon thinking Wang Weixi’s silly act, Yi Duanfang would gnash the teeth in anger. He thought he was careful enough, Tong Siqi succeeded in the end.

While thinking confusedly, his mobile phone rang.

Out of sheer boredom, Yi Duanfang picked up his mobile phone. Seeing the familiar name, he excitedly rose from his chair.

He had not heard from her for a long time. He did not know how to contact her. He kept looking forward to her message until he was dispirited. Finally, she called him.

“Hello…” His voice trembled. He never thought that he would be so nervous.

Chen Keren knitted her brows. Originally, she thought Yi Duanfang would jump with joy, and asked her name. However, he just said such a word. Suddenly, she felt unhappy. Without another word, she hung up.

“Beep, Beep, Beep…” Yi Duanfang was petrified.

Chen Keren cupped her face in one hand and leafed through new staff’s design drawings. She frowned more and more, the secretary who came in was overwhelmed with fear. She hinted those anxious new staff that “you are screwed”. As a result, all fell to the ground.

“Ask everybody to redesign. Our creative company won’t keep those idlers.” With this, Chen Keren picked up her phone and left the company.

Everyone in the company was petrified.

…

“Miss, Second Miss may go home. How long will you wait here?” Chen Keren was about to get off work, so Little Six asked in an anxious tone.

Chen Kexin looked at Huaxia in the distance disappointedly, sighed softly, “Let’s go back.”

Perhaps it was good to miss some people. God knew that, so we would miss them when we wanted to.
