Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

Jiang Huaizhou shook his head, "There's nothing to ask."

Yes, as smart as he is, how could he not understand the relationship between them.

"Actually, your father is right. I am really a trouble to you and your Jiang family. I am not worthy of you at all."

"Don't say that about yourself." Jiang Huaizhou took a tissue to wipe her tears.

Su Zimu smiled, "I am the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family. I have to call Ye Jingshu sister, but she likes you so much... In everyone's eyes, I am the vicious woman who stole the person my sister likes."

"Why do you care what other people say? I don't care." Jiang Huaizhou frowned.

"But I care." Su Zimu said, letting go of his hand, "Why should my life be so hard? I just want to live an ordinary and happy life."

"Mumu." He held her hand again, "Believe me, there is nothing that cannot be solved. I can give you everything you want."

After taking two days of sick leave, on the third day, Su Zimu went to the company alone despite Jiang Huaizhou's repeated objections.

After all, some things have to be resolved sooner or later, and some people have to be faced sooner or later.

The moment she stepped into the company, everyone's eyes were looking at her, but no one dared to say a word. The company's top management had issued a strict order that anyone who heard a word about that incident in the company would be fired immediately.

Su Zimu ignored the strange looks and walked straight towards Qi Yan's office.

The office door was closed. Just as she was about to knock on it, she heard voices coming from inside.

"You let her into the company without telling me?"

"This is purely official business. There is no other purpose. I don't think you need to know about this."

"What on earth are you and my brother thinking? Are you planning to betray me? Are you going to side with that woman?"

"Xiao Shu, you think too much. After all these years, don't you understand how I treat you..."

"Stop talking! Forget it this time, but don't do these things behind my back again."

The sound of high heels was getting closer and closer, and Su Zimu hid aside.

After Ye Jingshu left, Su Zimu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Qi Yan, who was standing by the window with his hands on his hips, saw Su Zimu coming in and hurried over to her.

"Manager Su, why are you here? Are you feeling better? Why don't you take a few more days off?"

Su Zimu looked indifferent, "I'm fine, thank you Mr. Qi for your concern."

"I'm glad you're okay. I didn't handle what happened that day well..." Qi Yan was a little annoyed that he didn't stop it from happening in the first place.

"Ms. Qi, I may not be able to do this job anymore." She said as she handed over a letter of resignation.

Qi Yan frowned and looked at the letter on the table, his eyes deep, "I can transfer you to another subsidiary, you don't need to do this."

"No thanks." Su Zimu refused.

After a moment of silence, Qi Yan finally spoke, "Actually, the whole thing..."

"I don't want to listen. We probably won't meet again." Su Zimu stood up and was about to leave.

"Miss Su!" Qi Yan called her, his lips opening and closing for a long while before he uttered three words: "I'm sorry."

Su Zimu smiled at him, "I remember Mr. Qi said that he has someone he likes, so that person is Ye Jingshu?"

Qi Yan didn't want to hide it either, so he nodded, "Aren't you going to meet Bai Yao?"

Ye Baiyao.

When she heard the name, she felt like a fool, a fool, being played around with.

Su Zimu shook his head, turned and left.

As Su Zimu walked out of the office building, his way was blocked by a tall figure.

"elder sister."

Of course she could recognize the owner of the voice. Without looking up, she forced her way away from him.

The person behind her called out twice more and reached out to hold her wrist.

Su Zimu turned around, slapped him, and glared at him angrily, but his eyes were red.

Ye Baiyao did not dodge and took all her strength firmly. Immediately, clear finger marks appeared on his fair cheek.

"If it makes you feel better, you can hit me as much as you want. I will never dodge." He looked at her sincerely.

Su Zimu pinched her hand which was a little painful and numb, shook off his hand and looked at him coldly.

"Sister, let's talk, okay?"

……

The door of the Rolls-Royce on the street opened and then closed again.

"Young Master, don't you want to go see the Young Madam?" Old Li looked at Jiang Huaizhou who was sitting in the back row, seeming to be lost in thought.

Watching the two figures slowly walk towards the coffee shop downstairs, Jiang Huaizhou said lightly, "There are some things that she can only face by herself, and I can't help."

Old Li nodded as if he understood. His workaholic young master left home early but did not go to the company. After walking around for a while, he stopped at the side of the street.

It was not until he saw Su Zimu's figure that he suddenly realized that the young master was no longer a workaholic, but a stalker.

...This is also good.

cafes.

Su Zimu straightened his back, leaned on the sofa, and looked at the person opposite him.

Ye Baiyao smiled slightly, "Sister, don't be so serious, it's quite scary."

"What do you want to say?" Su Zimu sneered, "Should I call you Xiaobai? Xiaobai? Or Ye Baiyao? Mr. Ye?"

Ye Baiyao's smile froze on his face. "I only found out later that Brother Qi Yan made the decision to let you come to the company."

"You still want to lie to me? You're the boss, don't you know?"

"I am the boss, but I am not responsible for specific matters. Brother Qi Yan is my partner and a professional manager hired by the company. He is responsible for managing the company."

"Brother Qi Yan said that you have strong working ability and the company happens to have this need, so he hopes you will join."

"That's it?" Su Zimu raised his eyebrows and asked, "No other reasons?"

"Also...he feels bad inside, and he wants to make it up to you."

Su Zimu sneered, "Compensation for what?"

"After all, we did hide our relationship..."

"What about you?" She leaned forward. "What are you hiding?"

Ye Baiyao lowered his eyes and stirred the coffee in the cup, "I..."

"You were intentionally approaching me from the beginning. You deliberately spilled the coffee in South City and bumped into me at the subway station... You planned all of this, right? You had already investigated me and knew who I was. You approached me on purpose. What was your purpose...?"

"I haven't done anything to hurt you."

The brief answer confirmed Su Zimu's guess that all the encounters were planned in advance.

"Sister, I won't hurt you." Ye Baiyao felt a little flustered when he saw Su Zimu's aloof look.

"I now understand that you are a simple, kind, and defenseless person. You are so kind, how could I hurt you? I never did before, and I won't do so in the future. Besides..."
