Chapter 242 - 241: Unclear Mind

Reaching out his hand, Chu Bing Luo was also an excellent person at changing his expression instantly. He didn't gave a glance to Juen, speaking with only a brief word. "Take a seat."

Taking a small glance to Xiao Yun who sat beside Zhi Ling Ling, she chose the furthest seat. Knowing her fault, she didn't dare to speak nor look up at the rest of the people. "Before we start," Chu Bing Luo spoke for everyone's ears to perk up to his words. "I formally apologized once again Ms. Yu because of us, your company had to also suffer from the scandal."

Narrowing her eyes to Juen who flinched from his words, Xiao Yun smiled gently

"I wouldn't say that I don't suffer a loss. However,  Ling Ling is also my friend and I know best that it isn't her fault to be involve in a scandal. About that matter I'm not disappointed but I do see something very regretful" she placed down the teacup from her hand with a clinking sound. "Mrs. Juen." He voice was gentle yet stern enough for Juen to have her heart raced.

Peeking up from her bowed head, to have more pressure upon her. Not knowing what to say, she murmured. "Ye- yes, I'm very sorry to everyone, for deceiving Ms. Zhi. However, I have my circ.u.mstances-"

"Everyone also has circ.u.mstances." Chu Bing Luo warned to snip her words and pinched the skin between his brows. "I thought you've reflected yourself but I was wrong. You do know better than anyone what would happen if a new rising model like Zhi Ling Ling is involve in a scandal, don't you? The only best scenario would be her retiring peacefully!" His harsh words made Juen to sink even deeper from her shadow.

Xiao Yun drank her tea again, brushing her gaze over Juen. From what she see, Juen seemed to be guilty of deceiving Zhi Ling Ling but she didn't stopped from victimizing herself. Specially from the way she look at Chu Bing Luo, she seemed to hold a bitter expression toward Chu Bing Luo. There must be a reason, Xiao Yun thought for her to suddenly see Juen shifting her face to Chu Bing Luo with a glare. Gripping her skirt, Juen seethe. "If Director Chu would helped me with some money for my son, I wouldn't want to do anything that could harm her! Do you think I want to backstab someone and be happy with it?! I had asked you urgently and you rejected me! In the first case, this wouldn't happen if you would have just given me the money!"

"I-" Chu Bing Luo stopped his words with a sigh.

"I don't think that's true." Xiao Yun cut in between before Juen could Cent her frustration again.

Juen looked at her, "What do you know as an outsider? Do you even know what kind of a boss he is?!"

"I don't know." Xiao Yun retorted, placing the cup again to the table. "I don't but I do know he wouldn't be a person who would abandon someone in need of help especially when it's an innocent child." Smiling gently, Xiao Yun walked to take her hand and brushed it carefully. "I know your reason and although I can't say that I'm not angry that you have deceived my friend and pushed her from the back. I could see your reason, however, it doesn't mean you're not wrong. Director Chu, you have something to say before didn't you? It's better if you say it now before it's too late."

Chu Bing Luo sighed, scuffling his hair and placed down a pamphlet. Taking a closer look, it wasn't a normal pamphlet but a hospital pamphlet. It was a hospital on the capital, the best hospital particularly in a matter of large surgery. Juen took the pamphlet, her eyes fixed at the name of the hospital in a shock. "This is-"

"I've planned to move your son there that's why I rejected your offer in giving the money, however, it would seem that after my explanation of why I rejected your offer, you didn't heard it till the end." He sighed again. "I knew you were shaken that time but I didn't expected this to happen."

Juen eyes blanked out. That night when she receive the news of her son's condition that took a worse turn from the hospital, she was in a great shock and immediately sought for Chu Bing Luo, her superior's help, however, she remembered him to coldly rejected her and after his words of rejection, she dazed out and missed the explanation came after his words. It must have been that time when Chu Bing Luo explained her a new option but she wasn't at her mind at that time,

"There's no way." Juen said, clutching the pamphlet to her chest with a still petrified face.

"I've made the preparation right after your call, however, soon I heard you have payed the surgery bill and didn't ask you again. It was a mistake, I should have ask again." Chu Bing Luo gave a designed expression. He knew far better than anyone that having their hope snatched right in front of their eyes was something beyond painful. Yet he never expected it to happen this way.

"Mrs. Juen." Xiao Yun gently spoke while rubbing her back. "We all know this happen due to misfortune. I understand and I also know better than anyone that everyone here also understand you. So, would you please help us to capture the person who hired you?"

With her tears falling out from her eyes, Juen nodded between her sobs. "I understand, however, I'm not sure if it can help you because the email was already abandoned and bank account was also seemed to be a one time thing."

"I will take care of it." Xiao Yun smiled ease the woman's heart. "Would you please help me to clear out, Zhi Ling Ling's Name from the scandal?" Juen placed her gaze over Zhi Ling Ling and placed her phone over to Xiao Yun. Bowing she apologized deeply. "I am very sorry for everything. If this can help you to find the person, please use it. Once again, Director Chu and Ling Ling, I'm very sorry."

Chu Bing Luo stood from his seat, rubbing Juen shoulder and gently spoke. "Please go home for today, for your punishment, I can't say anything to it as you have really done something unreversable. But I can do something to help your son before you find a new work. Go now."

Juen stood in front of the door, bowing to the people in the room and left the place to close the door with a thud. Turning his face, Chu Bing Luo saw Xiao Yun fiddling with the phone and emails. "I didn't expect you to use a kind method."

Xiao Yun lofted her brows. "What do you mean?"

"I thought you would snapped out at her." Chu Bing Luo continued his words, reading Xiao Yun expression that seemed to be bullet-proof right now. Covering her mouth, Xiao Yun giggled. "I don't understand what you mean. I'm a genuine person as I've said what I've felt and I meant what I said." She could never justified Juen's option, but she understood Juen's misunderstanding and felt good for being able to solve the misunderstanding. Glancing up she set a daunting smile. "Or perhaps I look like someone who would do such a heartless thing, Director Chu?"
