Xia Zhenghai covered his face that had been slapped, and laughed coldly: "What are you so excited about, am I wrong?"

"You're courting death!" Xiao Yiting was like an angry lion as he strode forward and grabbed Xia Zhenghai by the collar, and threw a few heavy punches down.

Zhou Fangyu saw that Xia Zhenghai was beaten to the point that she had no way to retaliate, and cried out: "Someone come quickly, kick them out!"

Lin Qingyan was worried that Xiao Yiting would take the opportunity to kill him in his anger, so she went over and stopped him.

Only then did Xiao Yiting stop.

He stood up and looked down at the man whose nose and mouth were bleeding from the beating. "This is just a warning to you. If you continue to be disrespectful to my mother in the future, I will take your life!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled Lin Qingyan away from the Xia Family Villa.

On the way out of the villa, Xiao Yiting's footsteps were as fast as the galloping of a horse, and the anger in his entire body surged recklessly in the air.

Lin Qingyan ran to catch up with his pace, and only after he got in the car did he let go of her hand.

She stole a glance at him. The perfect outline, leaving only a cool breath.

The reason why he was so furious earlier, was because Xia Zhenghai had disrespected his mother greatly.

She felt the same way about his angry actions.

He would rather be offended than to tolerate provocation.

On the way back to the Xiao's Residence, a certain person didn't say a single word, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was exceptionally stiff and cold.

She knew he was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he said coldly, "Follow me to my bedroom!"

Feeling the anger in his tone, he quickly followed.

Bang!

When the bedroom door closed, her heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you apologizing?" he demanded coldly.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "I thought using this method would calm things down …"

"Lin Qingyan, are you a pig brain?" His sharp eyes stared over, "The people from the Xia Family are currently waiting to get hold of my weakness, you would rather fall into their trap!"

"I …" She did not expect that Xia Family people would be so hard to deal with. Not only did he not let her go while he carried her and apologized, he even took the opportunity to insult her.

He was right, she was stupid.

"How did you know I was at Xia Family?" He came just in time. Otherwise, she would not have been able to fight Xia Zhenghai alone.

"Your whereabouts are all in my hands!"

"You're following me?!" She was very unhappy.

"If you don't do that, I won't even bother collecting your corpse after you've been beaten to death!" He was not in a good mood.

She retorted with dissatisfaction, "Then why did you lose your wife in your middle age?!"

"Lin Qingyan, are you crazy!" She was clearly very angry, but she actually started bickering with this woman.

She pursed her lips, feeling complicated, "If I don't go and apologize, they might not let me off. Since they've already apologized, then there's nothing much to say, at least … "At least I did what I promised to do …"

"You think the old man will be a little more polite when you do that?" he sneered. "You're too naive!"

She didn't want to further anger him. She didn't tell him that Old Master Xiao used her parents to threaten her, but unexpectedly, he knew everything.

Perhaps you don't know, before my father passed away, half of my world was gray and half was bright, and I never wanted to talk about that part of my world that was dark and bright, and that part that was bright and beautiful was a fairy-tale that my father had built for me. In my understanding, people should be kind, but during this period of time, everything that happened has allowed me to grow up once again. If she had used the power of a life in exchange for a life, she would not hesitate to take Su Junsheng's life.

In order to take revenge for Lin Qishan, she still had many difficulties to overcome in the future.

Her words caused him to raise an eyebrow.

Her delicate and pretty face was shrouded in sadness, giving off a feeling of resigned resignation.

"When I head to the Xiao Family in the future, I must definitely obtain my consent." Seemingly touched by her words, his tone became much gentler.

She looked at him, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was at Xia Family just now, and caused you trouble."

The expression in his eyes darkened as he replied in a bland voice, "Even without the scene earlier, Xia Zhenghai and I would have become enemies."

No matter what, he had to thank him for appearing earlier.

After all, they were only husband and wife in name, and he had no obligation to stand up for her.

On the morning of the second day, she punctually went to work at Xiao's.

When she entered the office, she heard a few female colleagues looking at her and discussing.

"A room?"

"Keep your voice down, she might hear you!"

"If she dares to do it, I dare to say it!"

"But this is related to our CEO!"

"She's the one who seduced the CEO!"

"No wonder when she left, our CEO left immediately after, so …"

"Don't say that, how could our CEO even look at a woman like her? At most, she would just vent her anger!"

"You're right!"

"…"

The words of his female colleague entered his ears without missing a word.

If she was not mistaken, they were talking about the night of the dinner when she and Xiao Yiting went to the hotel.

Just as she was in a daze, Zeng Ke'er knocked on her desk. "Come to my office!"

"Alright …"

She carefully stood in front of the desk, waiting for Ceng Ke-er to speak.

"Lin, don't be so reserved. Sit." Ever since she entered the company, Ke Er's face had always been tense. However, now she smiled in an especially intimate manner, causing her to be rather surprised.

Was it because she was happy that the design had been passed?

She sat down with her hands on her knees. "Is something the matter, sir?"

"Lin, although you have just joined the company, your performance is very outstanding and brought us good luck. As for me, as the supervisor, I sincerely thank you for your service." As she spoke, she bowed deeply in front of her.

Towards this action, Lin Qingyan was so scared that she immediately stood up and waved her hand: "Supervisor, the reason why this design proposal could be passed was entirely thanks to the design team. It has nothing to do with me, so I …"

"No, I'm not talking about that." Zeng'er took her hand and whispered, "Are you and the CEO …"

"No, no!" He didn't know if it was out of guilt or if he remembered someone saying that he couldn't reveal their relationship, but before the other party could finish his question, he started to deny it.

"Lin, you don't have to be shy. This is a workplace, if there's a chance to climb up, you have to grasp it firmly." Zeng Ke-er suggested with a smile, "Since we have the favor of the CEO, we should mention our design department more to the CEO."

So that was what she meant.

"Supervisor, as long as our design department keeps his feet on the ground, we will get better and better." She answered her hints seriously.

"Lin, do you know how many women want to sleep under the president of S City? From then on, they will fly on the branches and become the Young Madam. Since you have already completed a portion of the mission, you should try your best to become the Young Lady Xiao?" Zeng Ke'er patted her shoulder.
