No way!
Twice, Ye Moxuan ended up like this because of her. Hence, she did not wish for him to become her sacrificial lamb.
When she thought about this, Shen Qi approached Old Master Ye without any hesitation and said, “Old Master Ye, you cannot blame Young Master Ye for this, it’s all my fault.”
“What did you say?” Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes as he sized her up. There was a dangerous tone in his voice. “What does this matter have to do with you?”
“That day, I…”
“I told her not to find Lu Xunchang that day. Ye Group will not cooperate with Lu Group anymore. If you have any dissatisfaction, we can meet at the Board of Directors meeting later.” Ye Moxuan suddenly interrupted Shen Qi in a cold manner.
Shen Qi stood in her original spot. She was dumbfounded as she turned her head and looked at Ye Moxuan in disbelief.
What was wrong with him?
Why did he stop her from telling Old Master Ye the truth? Did he actually… want to cover it up for her?
“Young Master Ye?”
“Get lost!” Ye Moxuan lifted his gaze as he suddenly looked stern. “There is no place for you to speak in the Ye Family’s conversations.”
Shen Qi was speechless.
She bit her lower lip and retreated to the side with a pale look on her face. Then, she clenched her fists tightly. Her lower lip nearly bled from the force of her bite.
When Ye Linhan saw this, he felt sorry for her.
Old Master Ye was extremely pissed off by Ye Moxuan’s words. This brat knew that he would not hold a Board of Directors meeting. That was because the people there were really supportive of Ye Moxuan. Hence, it wasn’t the time for it now…
However, Old Master Ye did not plan to let the matter go just yet.
“Moxuan, don’t think I do not dare to take action upon you!”
Ye Moxuan did not take it to heart as he lifted his head and looked at Old Master Ye squarely in the eyes. “The company is here, grandpa. You can call for a Board of Directors meeting anytime. As long as… they listen to you.”
With that, he smiled.
It was a bloodthirsty smile, full of pride and calmness.
It was obvious that he was very confident about this.
That was true. Despite the fact that Ye Moxuan was in a wheelchair, and despite his unexpected style when carrying out his duties, thereby causing him to take some surprising actions, the final results would still be able to justify his actions in the end.
The group of elders in the Board of Directors knew that they had underestimated Ye Moxuan the moment he stepped foot into the company.
Not long after he entered the company, he was able to produce a string of excellent results, thereby shocking the Board of Directors. Moreover, they knew quite well that he wasn’t a fool, despite being a cripple.
“The Lu Family is not somebody you could trifle with. Moxuan, you have to give them an explanation since you injured President Lu.”
The other two elderly men noticed that the situation was turning sour, and they were worried that it would escalate, hence they decided to try to resolve the situation by speaking up.
“That’s right. It’s ok if you do not want to cooperate with them. Why did you have to injure him?”
“I have already shown him mercy by leaving him alive,” said Ye Moxuan ruthlessly.
His ruthless words caused the expressions of the people in the room to undergo a series of changes with Old Master Ye having the most intense reaction. “You unfilial brat! How could your dad have a son like you?!”
“Grandpa!” When Ye Linhan saw that he was getting serious, he quickly held him down. “Please don’t be upset. Moxuan has his own reasons for discontinuing the cooperation with Lu Group. He always has a unique vision. Moreover, Moxuan is part of the Ye Family, through and through. So, he won’t do anything to harm Ye Group. Don’t you worry.”
“Really? That is not necessarily true,” answered Ye Moxuan with a cold glint in his eyes.
Shen Qi, who was listening by the sidelines, had a headache when she heard his words. She felt that he was deliberately provoking Old Master Ye. Every word he said was directed toward his grandfather. No wonder, Old Master Ye was so pissed at him.
“Linhan, you heard… you heard what he said?! How could he act like this?!”
“Grandpa, I think you should go home first. I will get the driver to send you back.” Ye Linhan did not say any more unnecessary words. He merely helped Old Master Ye outside. When the other two people saw this, they followed him out as well.
Silence returned to the office.
Shen Qi did not move from her original spot. Her face still looked pale, and there were some bite marks on her lower lip.
“Get out!” Ye Moxuan suddenly ordered her to get lost.
However, Shen Qi stood in her original spot without moving.
“Don’t you understand human words?”
Shen Qi blinked as she suddenly turned toward Ye Moxuan. “Why did you help me?”
When he heard this, Ye Moxuan looked up with a raised eyebrow.
“This was obviously my problem, isn’t it? Why did you stop me from clarifying it to Old Master Ye? This was obviously my fault!”
“Hah!” Ye Moxuan suddenly laughed coldly. “Don’t you think you think too highly of yourself?”
“What?” Shen Qi did not understand his words. She was confused as she thought to herself, What was wrong with him?
“Don’t make me repeat myself for the third time. Get lost!”
However, Shen Qi did not want to move. Not only did she not heed his words, she actually took a step forward with clenched fists and asked, “Ye Moxuan, what is the matter with you? I thought you hated me? Why did you always have to help me out? As long as I clarified the situation to Old Master Ye just now and clear the misunderstanding, you guys wouldn’t be quarreling in the first place. It was my fault from the very beginning!”
The first time Lu Xunchang tried to flirt with her, Ye Moxuan refused to cooperate with Lu Group.
The second time, Ye Moxuan actually cripppled Lu Xunchang because of her.
If she put the two together, she felt that it was all her fault, no matter how she looked at it.
However, he did not mention a single word. On the contrary, he interrupted her just as she was about to reveal the truth.
“Hah! Woman, you really think too highly of yourself. It is my decision to cooperate with whoever I want. As for you… I never needed a woman to get me out of a predicament. That matter is between me and that old man. Outsiders have no right to intervene in it. Do you understand?”
Shen Qi paused.
“Do you want me to make it sound nastier? Don’t tell me that a second grade woman like you would ever dream that I would do all these for you? Or, do you have some other thoughts in your mind? I would advise you to get rid of those absurd ideas and get lost from my sight!”
With that, all the color drained from Shen Qi’s face.
She did not expect him to say those nasty words.
She clenched her hands which were hanging by the sides silently as she shuddered and bit her lower lip. “I-I understand.”
With that, she lowered her gaze as her long lashes covered the emotions in her eyes.
“I am sorry. I was overthinking it. I won’t do that next time. Young Master Ye, if you do not have any orders for me, I will be taking my leave first.”
Ye Moxuan remained silent. However, his aura was cold. It was obvious that he wanted her to leave as soon as possible.
Shen Qi turned around and walked outside with her head held high. However, every step she took felt heavy to her.
She did not realize at all that Ye Moxuan, who was behind her, was staring at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
What was wrong with this woman? She always acted so presumptuously by speculating about his thoughts! Did she really think that she was his wife?
Hah! She was a reckless person indeed!
However… When he saw her lowering her gaze and looking depressed, he felt his heart skipping a beat. Moreover, he actually felt sorry for her…
It was probably an illusion.
A vain woman like her was always trying to think of ways to seduce him.
