The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

Xie Jinhuan has been hospitalized for half a month.

Secretary Tan helped to take care of the affairs of the Xie Group, but Qian Qiusui was too busy to take care of them. Even if he didn't trust Shu Yan, the business had to fall back into her hands and she had to take care of it for a while.

But even so, Xie Jinhuan never stopped monitoring her. Except for going to the toilet, taking a shower and sleeping, everything she did was under surveillance, and she could not even step out of Qianqiu Sui's gate.

If she couldn't leave the house, she wouldn't be able to get the important evidence hidden by Xiao Cheng.

If she can't get it, Xiao Cheng's sacrifice will be in vain!

Xie Jinhuan's current window of opportunity might be her only chance. Even if she is torn to pieces, she must get the information!

So tonight, Shu Yan wore low-key clothes and prepared to take the opportunity to leave Qianqiu Sui.

Unexpectedly, he didn't check the almanac before going out and bumped into Secretary Tan who came back to get something for Xie Jinhuan.

In the dark corridor, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was so depressing that Shu Yan felt suffocated!

"Ayan, where are you going?" Secretary Tan stared at her gloomily.

It seemed as if there was some dangerous animal in her eyes that could rush out and pounce on her at any time.

"I want to go out." Shu Yan's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, but her face was as gloomy as water.

Her frankness made Secretary Tan choke, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat.

"Brother Tan Le, I know that neither you nor Director Xie trust me."

Shu Yan's long eyelashes trembled pitifully, and she bit her lips lightly, playing the innocent role to the fullest, "I'm going out tonight for no other purpose, just because Director Xie's birthday is coming soon.

I want to...give him a gift as a token of my appreciation."

Secretary Tan was suddenly startled.

He has been so busy lately that if Shu Yan hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten Mr. Xie's birthday. This is a big deal!

"During this period of time, I have been locked up here and have figured out a lot of things. If it weren't for Mr. Xie who extended his warm hand to me on the roadside and pulled me out of this hell on earth, I'm afraid Shu Yan would no longer exist in this world.

And you...Brother Tan Le, over the years, you have watched me grow from a little girl to a woman. You have helped me a lot and always treated me like your own sister. "

Shu Yan walked up to Tan Le step by step, her nose red and her eyes tearful, which aroused the man's strong desire to protect him, "If I betrayed you... then I am really too stupid and not worthy of being a human being.

Besides, I can only survive if Director Xie is fine. Otherwise, a woman like me is good for nothing except entertaining men, and has no ability to survive... I simply cannot survive."

She was persuaded by reason and moved by emotion. Her tears flowed down her cheeks, which was so touching and pitiful.

Secretary Tan was touched by her delicate and tender appearance. His blood boiled and he even developed a male impulse towards this woman whom he had watched grow up.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he held her thin shoulders with both hands, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her gently:

"Ayan, I'm glad you figured it out... Do you know how happy I am to hear you say that?"

Shu Yan's eyes were cold, she suppressed the chill in her heart and spoke softly, "So, I want to take this opportunity of Mr. Xie's birthday to behave well and admit my mistakes.

I hope... Mr. Xie can forgive me."

"Ayan, I will plead for you with Director Xie."

Tan Le greedily sniffed the fragrance of the woman's black hair, his heart softened, "As long as you behave and stay with Mr. Xie in the future, I will definitely do my best to keep you safe."

……

Although Shu Yan gained Secretary Tan's initial trust, this man was not stupid enough to give her free rein.

Moreover, he couldn't disobey Mr. Xie's order. So tonight he went out with Shu Yan to buy gifts together.

"Brother Tan Le, tonight, I want to drive the red sports car that Director Xie gave me."

Shu Yan pleaded softly, "I haven't driven for a long time, and my legs are rusty. I want to go for a drive, is that okay?"

Without waiting for the man to speak, she timidly lowered her head again, "No... forget it."

"It's just driving a car, what's wrong with that?"

Secretary Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and rubbed her hair. "I don't have any other power, but I can still make the decision on this little matter. The top-of-the-line Ferrari that Mr. Xie gave you will be scrapped if you don't drive it. It was also Mr. Xie's token of his love for you. Don't let him down. Drive it."

Shu Yan smiled brightly, but this charming smile did not reach her eyes.

The red sports car drove towards the largest antique and jewelry exhibition hall in Shengjing, where the two planned to choose a decent birthday gift for Xie Jinhuan.

Shu Yan took a fancy to a white jade hollow incense burner with two handles, and the boss praised her for her good taste.

She smiled and was about to swipe the card, but Secretary Tan got there first and spent the seven million without even blinking an eye.

"I agreed to send Mr. Xie off..." Shu Yan frowned anxiously.

"Between us, there is no distinction between you and me."

Secretary Tan smiled at her and put the black card back into his wallet. "I'm really pleased that you're thinking about Mr. Xie. I'd be willing to give you 70 million, not to mention 7 million.

Besides, it’s not easy for you to save some money, so keep it.”

After leaving the exhibition hall, Shu Yan drove a fiery red sports car and returned to Qianqiu Sui with Secretary Tan.

All the way, Secretary Tan's eyes seemed to be glued to her, never leaving her side, and she didn't dare to make any unusual movements.

Shu Yan looked normal, but her ten fingers were about to crush the steering wheel.

Tonight is her only and last chance!

If they fail again, as soon as Xie Jinhuan is discharged from the hospital, she will continue to be under house arrest, or even made to disappear from Shengjing without a trace!

In the dim darkness, a drop of cold sweat flowed down Shu Yan's delicate and small face.

Just then, a white car drove towards her from the opposite lane.

Shu Yan clenched her teeth, made up her mind, and took advantage of Secretary Tan's inattention to turn the steering wheel and step on the accelerator to the bottom.

"Ayan, be careful!"

Secretary Tan was horrified and wanted to grab the steering wheel, but it was too late!

boom--!

With a deafening bang, the Ferrari collided with the white car!

The luxury car was completely destroyed and even the airbags popped out, but fortunately no one was seriously injured.

"Ayan! How are you? Are you okay?!" Secretary Tan was sweating profusely and checked her condition worriedly.

"Um... I'm fine..."

Shu Yan was panting, her face was as pale as paper, and her weak and fragile appearance made the man feel very distressed, "Brother Tan Le...are you okay?

I haven't driven for so long, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, you're fine is better than anything else!"

"Go down and have a look... I don't know if the people on the other side are okay. Traffic accidents have to be dealt with."

"Okay! Wait for me, I'll take you to the hospital later!"

After saying that, Secretary Tan got out of the car quickly.

The next second, Shu Yan endured the pain in her body, immediately unbuckled her seat belt, and quietly got out of the car while Tan Le was negotiating with the car owner. She knelt on her knees and lay under the car, groping for something back and forth with trembling hands.

Suddenly, her hand paused and she touched a USB stick attached to the chassis.

Shu Yan was so excited that she almost cried. Her eyes were red as she held it tightly in her palm.

The days passed one by one, peacefully.

Every day, twice a day, morning and evening, Xiao Zhao and another young nurse work in shifts to deliver medicine and inject drugs for Xie Jinhuan.

Although Xie Jinhuan would ask the attending physician to conduct routine checks on the medication every time, the results were always the same -

There is nothing wrong with the medication.

Before I knew it, Xie Jinhuan’s birthday is coming tomorrow.

That night, Secretary Tan went to the exhibition hall to pick up the birthday present that Shu Yan had prepared for him, thinking of giving him a surprise to ease the tension between them.

Outside the ward, there is heavy guard duty.

In the room, Xie Jinhuan only turned on a bedside lamp and read a book under the soft light.

Xiao Zhao knocked on the door and walked in, his voice gentle and soft:

"Mr. Xie, it's time for you to take your medicine."

"Ah."

Xie Jinhuan seemed to be in a good mood today, with a pair of warm eyes behind his glasses showing a faint smile.

Xiao Zhao had an attentive smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as a knife!

This man's face was delicate, elegant, and extremely bewitching.

If her brother had not been killed, she might have been bewitched by him!

"Mr. Xie, you are smiling today. Is there something happy?" Xiao Zhao asked with a smile.

"I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Xie Jinhuan raised his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up happily, "Because tomorrow is my birthday."

"Oh! Really! Then I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao. You have worked hard during this period."

"Of course not. I feel honored to be able to take care of Mr. Xie."

Xiao Zhao placed the tray on the bedside and picked up one of the syringes. "Do you want me to give you the injection today? Do you need Dr. Zheng to come over and check?"

"No need, just leave it here for now. My secretary will take care of it when I get back." Xie Jinhuan returned his gaze to the book.

"Okay, then I won't disturb you."

When Xiao Zhao turned around, his face changed instantly and he left the ward.

Ten minutes later, Secretary Tan hurried back to Xie Jinhuan:

"Sorry, Mr. Xie, I kept you waiting!"

"From the look of you, it seems like there's some good news?" Xie Jinhuan asked with a faint smile.

"Uh..." Secretary Tan scratched his head awkwardly, looking very secretive.

"Forget it, if you want to keep it a secret, just keep it a secret. After all, the programs are almost the same every year."

Xie Jinhuan rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his muscular, fair arms to him. "After thinking it over, I still trust you the most."

Secretary Tan hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, picked up the syringe from the tray, and skillfully inserted it into his blue-green vein.

Xie Jinhuan suddenly felt a chill on his arm. He slowly leaned towards the head of the bed and closed his eyes comfortably.

Suddenly, the door of the ward opened, and a bodyguard stumbled in, horrified:

"Thank you, thank you, Boss! Something bad has happened! The police are here!"
