ME

CHAPTER 101 - AS YOU WISH

When Huo Yuwei returned home, she sat down on the sofa with a limp. Mrs Liu hurriedly came over and asked, Madam, how is Little Ran?

He's been rescued.

How did things turn out like this? Sigh, it really makes one worry. Mrs Liu sighed. She had thought too much about Li Jingnian and his sister.

Tell me, when they were young, they were clearly so good. How did they end up like this? Ever since Jing Sheng's death, the two of them had become enemies. I thought it was impossible for them to ever have a relationship again, but who knew that after that … Up until now, the Su Clan has collapsed, Su Cheng Ting is dead, and the child that I had been looking for with great difficulty is also gone. Who are the two of them messing with …

At the mention of Li Jingsheng, both of them fell silent.

Actually, Li Jingjing had never told Huo Yuwei and the others that he had 'seen' her back then, because this was a 'deal' between him and Su Cheng Ting, and for some reason, he was unwilling to tell Huo Yuwei. He only said that it was an accident, which was why Huo Yuwei was able to accept Su Ran.

Little Ran has suffered too much these days, I hope that Jing Nian can think it through.

Hospital.

Li Jingjing had been keeping watch beside Su Ran's bed, unwilling to leave. At this moment, he and Su Ran were the only two people in the ward.

He looked at Su Ran, who was still unconscious and frowning, and reached out his hand in pain to smooth the crease between Su Ran's eyebrows.

Little by little, he tried to depict Su Ran's facial features, feeling the delicate touch of his subordinates, etching her features into his heart.

How had he ever been able to do something so excessive before?

Although he had no way of finding out who pushed Jing Sheng downstairs, he had already found out. Three years ago, it was Tang Xin, not Su Ran, he was tricked by Tang Xin!

A Ran, can't we really start over?

He knew that Su Ran could not hear him, and he knew Su Ran's answer, but he still wanted to ask Su Ran, to ask himself, to ask about his heart.

Suddenly, the sadness on his face turned sharp. I won't let go. We can definitely start over!

Although Cen Xiao was currently the vice head physician in the Oncology Department, he also had a master's degree in psychology, so he knew quite a few experts in this field.

Therefore, he had invited his mentor over.

However, when Su Ran woke up, she was unwilling to speak again. No matter what the doctor asked, her expression would always be stiff. Her pair of eyes that were once moist and beautiful were now completely still, as if they could no longer stir up any waves.

Some patients don't know they're sick, but they will listen to their doctors, be willing to listen to their doctors, and also take medicine. She knows that she's sick, but she doesn't want to communicate with anyone, isn't willing to treat, and closes her heart, which is related to the environment she's been living in and the things she's been through, and has reached the point of suicide. This means that the situation is very serious, and if we don't change, she will definitely commit suicide again …

The doctor's words echoed in his ears again and again as a feeling of powerlessness assaulted his heart. Li Jingjing knew that he had to let go, but he really couldn't …

Li Jingnian, do you really want her dead? Cen Xiao questioned him, leaving him speechless.

If you hadn't ruthlessly separated her and the child, she wouldn't have thought about escaping and the child would have been fine. Now, do you still want to force her to her death? I don't know. Yi Jin questioned Su Ran upon learning that she had attempted suicide.

Lin Nian was also here, after she saw Su Ran's expression, she pounced onto Li Jingnian with a howl and scolded him, Li Jingnian! Do you still have a heart?! She loves you so much, so much that she lost herself, she lost everything for you, do you still want her life? Do you know how hard it is for her to live? And you, you will never believe her. You are pretending to be your little secret, letting her be bullied by your secret, buying her company, breaking her hand, forcing her to divorce and separate her and her child. Now that she has gone mad, even if she commits suicide, you still won't let her go. You are ruthless! Your heart is made of stone!

At the end of the curse, Lin Nian could not help but let go of Li Jingnian. She hugged Yi Jin and cried in grief.

Yi Jin and Cen Xiao were both infuriated. Even Huo Yuwei couldn't bring herself to argue for her son.

Li Jingnian pursed his lips, entered the ward with a dark expression, locked the door, and sat down in front of Su Ran's bed.

As he held Su Ran's hand, it felt cold, as cold as his heart.

His expressionless face was filled with pain, A Ran, I really know my wrongs, can you really not give me another chance?

I know I did a lot of things to hurt you, but now I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong.

He rambled on and on, talking about their childhood, their student years, Li Jingsheng, and Tang Xin.

I already know that it wasn't you who drugged them back then. It was also Jing Sheng, so I would have listened to your investigation, but without a camera, it would have been very difficult to investigate. Also, I know that no matter what I said about the Su Family, you will think that I did it on purpose, so I won't say anything. I really went to the hospital the night before your father passed away, but he just told me some things. He said he hoped that I could treat you well, I really didn't know that your father was … It's a form of farewell …

Hearing Li Jingnian mention Li Jingsheng and Su Cheng Ting, Su Ran's eyelids twitched. Her dull eyes showed signs of struggling, but in the end, she remained calm.

If you really want to leave... I... Then … Just as you wish. Although I don't want to let you go, I hope that you can continue to be alright. However, I'll only give you three years. Su Ran, you are mine! You can only be mine! I'm only letting go temporarily, but that doesn't mean I'll let go forever. In these three years, you can't fall in love with anyone else. No matter what, the person in your heart can only be me. Three years, in these three years, we will calm down. I will do a review of what I have done, and I will also investigate those things. You treat your illness well, and after three years, if you don't come back, I will come find you. We are destined to be entangled with each other for the rest of our lives.

Li Jingjing was finally willing to let go. Even if he wasn't willing to let go, he was afraid that Su Ran would commit suicide again. He didn't want to lose Su Ran, so he gave her three years of time.

CHAPTER 102 - GONE

Su Ran left with Cen Xiao. After all, Cen Xiao had done some research on psychology, so he brought her to other countries to find experts in this field.

Yi Jin also followed along. Yi Jin had been assigned a job, but due to Su Ran's delay, the three of them ended up going to the same place, so the three of them went together.

Thus, when Li Jingjing saw that Cen Xiao and Yi Jin were protecting Su Ran from the left and right, Li Jingjing's face darkened.

Li Jingjing, if you let go this time, it means you don't have the chance. In a place where no one could see, Yi Jin said to Li Jingnian.

The veins on Li Jingnian's forehead stood out, but it was not good for him to act up in public.

Above the blue sky and white clouds, the plane flew off. It took away Su Ran and Li Jingjing's heart.

When Li came home, he shut himself up in his room. He didn't see anyone and didn't go to work.

By the time Huo Yuwei learned of the news and rushed to the duplex apartment downtown, three days had already passed.

Huo Yuwei muttered all the way here. The moment she opened the door, she could smell the smell of alcohol filling the entire room. Furthermore, it was clearly daytime, yet there wasn't a single ray of light in the room.

For a moment, Huo Yuwei was frightened by the darkness. She even thought that she'd entered the wrong room.

Li Jingnian! Why do you drink so much wine... Are you tired of living?

As soon as Huo Yuwei entered the room, she saw the bottles all over the floor. She vaguely saw a figure leaning against the sofa.

What are you doing? He wanted to use the wine to dispel his worries? Let me tell you, no matter how much you drink, it can't change the fact that Little Ran has already left.

She drew back the curtains, letting the sun in through the glass, driving away the gloom.

Li Jingniang's eyes could not bear the glare for a while, so he threw the bottle of wine in front of him.

Only now did Huo Yuwei clearly see how terrible Li Jingjing's condition was. Not only was her beard tattered, her clothes were the same as the clothes she had worn three days ago, and her face was extremely unsightly because of the lack of light.

Who are you messing around with? Do you think you're torturing yourself? You are torturing me! Pity me for being so worried about you and Xiao Ran at my age, can't you just calm down for a while? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have let the two of you be together and left you with so much to do.

Huo Yuwei walked over to try and pull Li Jingnian up.

Get up! You are Li Jingnian! You are the heir to the Li family! You are the CEO of a group, what are you trying to say! There's no explanation even if you don't go to work for three days. Everyone in the company went to find the old gramps, do you not want the Li family? Did you know that the old gramps is angry!

In the past three days, he did not eat, but instead drank as much as he could, and as soon as he returned from the airport, he came back with several boxes of alcohol, from morning to night, from evening to night, he wanted to rely on alcohol to numb his nerves. He thought that as long as he was drunk, his heart would not ache, and Su Ran's figure would not always appear in his head, but on the contrary, the more he drank, the more his heart ached, and the clearer Su Ran's figure became in his mind.

Now, with great difficulty, her brain had sunk a little, Su Ran's figure became lighter, but Huo Yuwei came over and tore open the wound, causing it to bleed profusely.

His eyes were also heavy, and he couldn't even lift his eyelids. It was as if he hadn't heard Huo Yuwei's words. He stretched his hand out to grab the bottle of wine that had yet to be finished.

You're still drinking! Drink, drink, drink! Sooner or later, I'll drink you to death! Do you take my words as wind passing by! Without Little Ran, you won't be able to continue living anymore, what have you done for yourself?!"

Huo Yuwei kicked the bottle away. Yellow liquid flowed out from the bottle, covering the entire floor. It further increased the alcohol smell in the room, stimulating the taste buds of others.

His hand drooped down powerlessly. After a long time, he raised his head and struggled to open his bloodshot eyes to look at Huo Yuwei. It took him a while to recognize that the person in front of him was Huo Yuwei. Mom? Why are you here?

You're asking me? Why don't you ask yourself! Get up and clean up my mess."

Huo Yuwei was so angry that she fell flat on her face. She had just told him so much and had spent so much time and effort just now. He hadn't taken any notice of it!

Huo Yuwei felt her liver hurt so much.

However, Li Jingnian still didn't move. He lowered his head again. That dead look of his was really infuriating.

Li Jingnian! What do you want! Who are you showing this to, to Xiao Ran? She could no longer see it! She could no longer see it! Wake up …"

Huo Yuwei tried her best to persuade him, but he still showed no reaction. She was so angry that she could only helplessly leave.

Fine, I said that I won't touch you. Then just let your dad and your grandpa come over. I really didn't see it.

In the end, Huo Yuwei didn't dare to tell the old man the truth. She said that she wouldn't move Li Jingniang, and only vaguely said that he would return to work at the company.

After hearing Huo Yuwei's words, the old man didn't say anything, he only gave her a solemn glance before returning to the study, scaring her to the point where her heart almost stopped beating. After all, he was her own son, so if she didn't help him, no one would be willing to help him.

She hurriedly made two phone calls to Ye Chen and Xu family to help her persuade Li Jingnian.

When Ye Chen and the Xu family arrived, Li Jingniang was still the same. However, there were a few more bottles on the floor.

Li Jingjing, it's enough for you. Do you want to die like this? Do you think that Su Ran will be back if you keep adding on? She won't come back, and she won't see your confession. We are all worried about you, especially Aunt Huo. We don't care about you, but you have to think about her. She is so worried about you."

Get up! Ye Chen and the Xu family wanted to help Li Jingnian up.

However, Li Jingnian was like a dead pig. In the end, the two of them were covered in sweat and only managed to drag Li JingNian away a little. He didn't have any reaction at all.

After talking for a long time, the two of them had no choice but to leave.

The next day, the old man and Li Mingsen arrived.

As soon as the old man saw Li Jingnian, he immediately said to Li Mingsheng, You taught me a good son!

Li Mingsheng knew that the old man was angry. He lowered his head, unable to say anything.

The old man was holding a cane in his hand. He pointed the cane at the bottle and waved the bottle again. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

CHAPTER 103 - FINANCIAL NUMBER MISMATCH

Li Mingsen frowned as he looked at Li Jingnian, who was on the ground. He wanted to tell him to stand up, but he didn't say anything.

The cane finally landed on Li Jingnian. The old man knocked the bottle of wine down to the ground and said, Li Jingjing, do you know what you're doing?

Li Jingnian's eyelids finally twitched, but he still didn't say anything.

You are truly a good descendant of my Li family for a woman like this. I don't care what you think, since you are surnamed Li, you must shoulder the responsibility that you are responsible for.

Li Jingnian's muddled head struggled for a bit, but he still didn't make a move.

Li Jingjing, you shouldn't have thought about giving up so quickly. If you don't want me to intervene in the future, I don't need to say more. You should know what to do now, right?

Years ago, it was the same for him and Granny Li. When a problem had occurred between the two of them and they had reached the point of divorce, in the end, he still managed to find the person he wanted back, and Li Jingjing was like him, he felt that this grandson of his was also like this, it was impossible for him to give up so easily. This was also the reason why he rarely interfered in the matter between the two of them.

He had experienced that heart-wrenching feeling before, and because of Granny Li's disappearance, he had gotten drunk and had even dreamed of death. In the end, he was able to pull himself together.

He heavily knocked the ground with his walking stick. The sound was so loud that it made Li Jingnian's heart skip a few beats.

It had to be said that since the old man had seized Li Jingnian's life, he wouldn't give up so easily. He had said that he would only give Su Ran three years' time, and if Su Ran didn't come back in three years' time, he would find her, and he wouldn't be able to let her go.

Drinking wine was just to ease the boredom in his heart and the effect Su Ran's departure had on him.

He was truly afraid that the old man would interfere, so Li Jingjing immediately stood up. He didn't say anything and only nodded before silently returning to his room.

The old tutor nodded in satisfaction. Since he had achieved his goal, it was time to go back.

Let's go.

By the time Li Jingjing had finished packing, there was no longer any trace of Li Mingsen or the old man in the living room.

He just became more indifferent than before, regardless of whether he worked day or night. He didn't even rest for a few months, treating the company as his home, eating and living there.

He also began to distance himself from Tang Xin and gradually retracted the privileges in her hands. He even began to berate Tang Xin in front of others, finding fault with her and criticizing her without any trace of politeness, never giving her the chance to approach him again.

Tang Xin had originally thought that Su Ran would have more opportunities after she left, but to her surprise, other than working hours, she didn't even have the chance to be alone with Li Jingjing. Li Jingjing would not bring her to any more business festivities, and he had promoted a new male secretary up to deal with her.

She was so angry that she vomited blood and could do nothing about it.

Li Jingnian had also found out that Tang Xin had set up Su Ran in school, ruining Su Ran's reputation, and some of the misunderstandings between the two were caused by her.

He was now suspecting that the reason Tang Xin was pushed down by Su Ran was all because of her.

It was just that there was something wrong with the video, so he couldn't be sure.

CEO, the finance department's numbers don't match up. Although the numbers are small, I still feel like I need to tell you.

The newly promoted male assistant was called Xu Cheng. He was a plastic talent, and his abilities were very satisfactory in every aspect. He completed the mission very well.

Xu Cheng handed the organized financial statements in his hands to Li Jingniang for him to look at.

Li Jingjing took it over and realized that one million was not even considered as a large sum, but someone dared to mess around under his nose, which he couldn't forgive.

Ever since Li Jingnian had started working normally, he rarely spoke about face and dealt with what he wanted to. This time, he wanted to use this matter to warn some of the older employees that they should withdraw their extended claws. Otherwise, don't blame him for being too heartless.

Get the manager of the Finance Department over here.

Xu Cheng accepted the orders and quickly called someone over. Coincidentally, Tang Xin saw it, causing her to become suspicious, so she followed him into the CEO's office.

The finance manager was called Liang Chaohui. He was a tall, thin man with small eyes that could not hide his panic.

President, why did you call me?

Liang Zhaohui's sharp eyes looked at the financial statement on the table and his heart became even more alarmed.

When Tang Xin saw this, she also felt helpless. She forcefully suppressed the panic in her heart and did her best to calm down.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence. Don't panic, don't panic.

However, Li Jingnian's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts almost made her unable to maintain the expression on her face. It was truly horrifying.

Take a look for yourself. Li Jingniang threw the financial statement over. His face was as cold as it could get.

Liang Chaohui took a look. As expected, he still knew.

Trembling, he took the report and flipped it open. When he glanced at it, his face was ashen.

CEO, I was wrong. I beg you to give me another chance, I won't dare to do it again …

Seeing that Liang Chaohui was already like this, what else did Tang Xin not understand? As expected, the million that she had misappropriated was known.

The first thought in her heart was to protect herself. She definitely could not let Liang Zhaohui reveal herself, otherwise all her efforts over the years would be wasted.

What's wrong with manager Liang? Is there a problem with that statement? Show me.

With a look of doubt, she walked over and took the report from Liang Zhaohui's hand. When she was near Liang Zhaohui, she quickly lowered her voice and said, You can't tell me. We can talk about it later.

She took the report and stood by Liang Zhaohui as she looked at it seriously. In fact, she could tell that something was wrong with a single glance, but she pretended to look at it for a long time.

Do you want me to send you to the police station or do you want to resign? There are two choices.

Li Jingnian didn't even give Liang Zhaohui a chance to defend himself before blocking his path.

Liang Zhaohui's face instantly lost all color as he looked at Tang Xin in panic.

Tang Xin secretly tugged at his clothes and said, CEO, I feel that Manager Liang must have some difficulties in doing this. This matter is a bit inappropriate, after all, Manager Liang is an old man, can you give him a chance to change …

You say so much, don't tell me you know something else? Xu Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

She stared at Xu Cheng, You're overthinking it. I just think that Manager Liang is a first time offender, so there should be a better solution.

CHAPTER 104 - MORAL ABDUCTION

CEO, this is Manager Liang's first offense, he has already worked in the company for so many years, we might as well give him a chance. As long as he fixes this hole in a certain amount of time, then it's fine.

Tang Xin's words seemed to make sense, but in reality, it was just a moral kidnapping.

He looked at Tang Xin, You always say that he has his own difficulties, but in the end, what difficulties do you have that gave him the guts to divert the public funds? Why don't you tell me?

Tang Xin froze as she stared blankly at Li Jingnian. She never expected him to not give her any face at all.

How could Liang Chaohui have any difficulties? The reason why he would misappropriate money was all because of Tang Xin.

CEO, I'm begging you, please give me another chance, I won't dare to do it again. Liang Chaohui begged again.

If you want a chance, so be it. Just tell me what you want the money for, and I'll give you a chance.

Li Jingniang's words were tempting, and Liang Chaohui's expression wavered.

Tang Xin had said that as long as he helped her get the one million yuan, she would be able to whisper a few nice words into the ears of the CEO's ears. Furthermore, she would also be able to help him get to the position of the Treasurer, so he believed that this condition was too tempting for him as he had coveted the position of the Treasurer for a long time.

As such, when Tang Xin said she would help him, he agreed.

But now that he lost his job, the Treasurer didn't even need to think about it. The treatment of a group was famous in the industry, and if he was fired, then he wouldn't be able to continue working there in the future.

Liang Chaohui's heart was constantly struggling. Seeing his expression, Tang Xin knew that he was going to do something bad. She secretly resented him in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

If you don't want to say it, this is your only chance. My patience is limited, I don't have the time to waste here with you.

The expression on Li Jingniang's face was obviously impatient. Liang Chaohui's heart trembled; all the defenses had collapsed.

I'll say it, I'll say it!

Liang Chaohui! Tang Xin was anxious, so he called Liang Chaohui by his full name.

Secretary Tang seems to be very familiar with Manager Liang. Xu Cheng actually hadn't taken a liking to Tang Xin, but now that he saw her like this, he couldn't help but mock her.

The corner of Tang Xin's mouth twitched, and she became even more disgusted with Xu Cheng, It can't be that you're very familiar with each other. Even if you see them, you would greet them.

Is that so? It turns out that Secretary Tang and the company's employees are very familiar with each other. If you have time, bring me along to get to know each other. Actually, I still don't know many people in the company. Then you should know Manager Liang's difficulties.

I really don't know how to joke around.

Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said no more, instead looking at Liang Chaohui.

Tang Xin trampled on the uneasiness in her heart as she continuously winked at Manager Liang.

As if he did not see it, Liang Zhaohui closed his eyes and told him everything.

Actually, I didn't misappropriate this million. It was... It was Secretary Tang who moved them …"

Manager Liang, what nonsense are you talking about! Before Liang Zhaohui could finish his sentence, Tang Xin interrupted him in a hurry, This was obviously something in your family that was taken away, wasn't it?

Tang Xin felt like her eyes were about to blink and cramp.

Go on, don't worry about her.

Even if Tang Xin wanted to say something, she couldn't.

Liang Zhaohui nodded his head like a dog, and wiped the sweat off his forehead, At that time Secretary Tang told me that something happened to her family, and she urgently needed money, so she had no choice but to move the money. She said that as long as she had some time, she would definitely make up for this hole. She also said that as long as I help her, she'll help me get into the position of Treasurer. I was distracted for a while, so I agreed to her request. CEO, please give me a chance, I definitely won't do it again …"

It's over! It's over! At this moment, this was the only thought in Tang Xin's mind as she frantically shook her head, begging for mercy in her eyes.

NO! You're lying, you're the one who embezzled the official funds, you can't be wrongly accused! " Tang Xin rebutted and shunned his own responsibility, pushing the responsibility on Liang Chaohui.

Secretary Tang, that's not how a person should act. You're the one who asked me to misappropriate the public funds. How could a mere department head like me have the guts to do so?

Heh, what evidence do you have to prove that I misappropriated the public funds? Manager Liang, there must be evidence to prove that I wronged someone. Tang Xin was certain that Liang Chaohui couldn't come up with any evidence, so he relaxed a bit.

Evidence? Evidence... I transferred the money into your account. If you don't believe me, you can go to the bank and check the records.

Liang Zhaohui was not stupid. Since Tang Xin wanted evidence, then the transfer information was evidence.

Tang Xin's face paled. She had been too anxious and had forgotten about the transfer.

I... You …" She … she … you … for a long time, she couldn't say any more words of rebuttal …

If that's the case, then I'll give you another chance, Liang Zhaohui.

Hearing the first half of Li Jingnian's words, Liang Zhaohui's face lit up. He really thought that he had escaped this calamity, but before he could feel happy about it, Li Jingnian's following words made him extremely worried.

But, no matter what, you are still an accomplice. If you had reported it at that time, it would not have caused any damage to the company, and with your professional qualities, you cannot continue to be a manager. So, I transferred you to the subsidiary company's production department, do you have any objections?

The Production Department was notorious for being bitter and tired, not to mention a subsidiary company. Even if Liang Chaohui was unwilling, he would not dare to object, unless he really did not want to stay there any longer.

No …. Opinions... "

If you don't have any objections, then go down.

After Liang Chaohui left, Tang Xin couldn't care about anything else. She pounced in front of Li Jingjing with a regretful and pitiful expression, Jing Nian, I have my difficulties, I really have no choice. If I had a choice, I would definitely not do this …

It's hard work again. Since that's the case, let's talk about your hard work. I don't want you to say that I'm heartless and that I've disappointed the senior staff.

Li Jingnian expressionlessly looked at her, avoiding her actions.

Tang Xin choked. He knew that Li Jingjing was mocking him. He was warning her that if she couldn't convince him with her reasoning, then he would do it in public and wouldn't give her any chance.

She suddenly felt sad. If it was before, when Su Ran was safe, Li Jingjing would not have treated her like this. These days, Li Jingjing had become too unfamiliar to her, to the point where she did not even know who she was.

CHAPTER 105 - PERSON SEEKING NOTICE

Actually, it's because of my mom, she … She's a gambler, she lost the bet... I owe her a lot of money. If I don't return the money, then those people will have to take my mother away. As her daughter, I can't just watch as something happens to her. Only... Sob, sob …

As Tang Xin finished speaking, she couldn't stop herself from sobbing. It seemed like she really had lost all hope.

Jing Nian... I really didn't mean to... If you are truly angry, then just take me, just take me … Send him to the police station …

Tang Xin was showing her weakness by putting herself in the role of a filial daughter, lowering her position so that she could arouse Li Jingniang's sympathy. She felt that since she had already said so, Li Jingniang would definitely not send her to the police station. At most, he would just be demoted.

My mother was actually tricked by others. I've tried to persuade her many times, but it was all useless, every month I had to give her three-quarters of my salary. I really didn't have any money, Jing Nian, I really didn't mean to do it.

She described herself and the gambling mother as pathetic.

I have to give the board an explanation no matter what, otherwise everyone will be like you, and if there's any reasonable reason for everyone to take their own money, then they will have to make use of their public funds. I remember that you were studying marketing before, so I'll transfer you back to the marketing department, and you'll have to start over again. Also, you have to make up for the losses in the company, so I'll give you three months time to return the money.

Enough... It's done …"

Tang Xin's face alternated between green and red. She knew that this was a good result, but she wasn't willing to let go of this opportunity to return to the Sales Department. Who knew how much of a schadenfreude her company would have.

She raised her teary eyes to look at Li Jingjing, hoping to arouse a bit of sympathy from this cold-blooded man.

But Li Jingjing didn't want to look at her and had already lowered her head to look at the document.

The image she maintained and the words she just said did not allow her to plead with Li Jingniang, so she could only leave the CEO's office feeling wronged.

Xu Cheng just happened to come back and saw Tang Xin coming out, so he couldn't help but mock her, Yo, you're still crying. Did you think you were being wronged? Oh come on, no matter what, you were the one who took the money. The fault is clearly yours, but who are you pretending to be? Zi Li's memorial archway.

Tang Xin angrily glared at Xu Cheng, Don't be complacent, aren't you just an assistant? One day, I will trample you under my feet. When the time comes, I will make you kneel down and beg me."

Her usually gentle eyes took on a fierce glint.

Is that so? I'm so scared. Then I'll just wait. But, you should hurry up and pack up your things. After all, you're no longer the CEO's secretary."

Xu Cheng's venomous mouth was always able to block Tang Xin's way to speechlessness. During the time that he had been promoted to a special helper, Tang Xin had never felt at ease and had suffered several mute losses.

Tang Xin hated him to the core, so in the end, she could only helplessly leave.

When Tang Xin carried the goods back to the Sales Department, everyone there was filled with schadenfreude.

The marketing manager, Wen Ting, didn't even give Tang Xin a glance as she casually pointed out a spot for her, Just sit there, if you don't understand then ask Xiaodong. Anyway, we've done it before, so you shouldn't have forgotten everything, right, Secretary Tang?

The sarcasm in her tone was so obvious that Tang Xin could not maintain her smile. She wanted nothing more than to grit her teeth and shatter them into pieces. However, she had to swallow her grievances.

If it was a month ago, they definitely wouldn't have dared to treat him like this.

She lowered her head and carried her things to a corner, looking rather destitute.

That afternoon, Li Jingniang had Xu Cheng announce what Liang Chaohui and Tang Xin were doing and wanted to warn the entire company. Now, everyone looked at Tang Xin with even more disdain.

She became very thin and cold in the days of making friends.

Liang Zhaohui's days in the subsidiary company were not easy, because the matter of him embezzling public funds was already known to the lower tier companies, even to the entire corporation. Therefore, even if he was in the production division, no one dared to put him in charge of logistics, for fear that he would draw oil or something.

After Cen Xiao brought Su Ran to settle down in the United States, she first contacted Li Jingniang. Because Cen Xiao was a therapist that Li Jingniang hired for Su Ran, all of Su Ran's treatment fees were paid by Li Jingnieng, so Cen Xiao still needed to report Su Ran's information to Li Jingniang regularly.

Cen Xiao was the son of the hospital dean of Qingcheng City, but he did not care about the money. If it wasn't for Su Ran, if it were anyone else, even if they gave him more money, he would not have brought them along.

However, as time passed, Cen Xiao and Li Jingjing gradually lost contact. No matter how many people Li Jingjing sent to search, Cen Xiao and Su Ran even changed their addresses, causing Li Jingjing to completely lose any news of Su Ran.

No matter what, I have to go to America tomorrow!

Li Jingnian looked at the message in his hand, and angrily swept the items on the table to the floor.

Xu Cheng thought of the meeting tomorrow and opened his mouth to try and persuade him. However, under Li Jingnian's unfriendly gaze, he tactfully shut his mouth.

However, no matter how many times Li Jingnian went to the United States, he couldn't find Su Ran. He didn't even leave a single clue about where Su Ran used to live.

He even tried to contact Su Heng and found his company, but his company said that Su Heng had already resigned.

At this point, Li Jingjing had no choice but to admit that he had really lost Su Ran, and he might never be able to find her again.

Li Jingjing drank again. This time, he drank until his stomach was pierced and sent himself to the hospital. When he recovered, he returned to his previous self and worked hard every day to expand his business district.

He had done something that Ye Chen and the others thought was unbelievable — he had published a notice asking for someone.

Every place in the world that advertised for people, every little bit of business was followed by an announcement that they were looking for Su Ran.

Ye Chen and the others thought that he had gone mad, but he insisted that Su Ran was only temporarily missing. If there was a day when she recovered from her illness, she would definitely come back to report this matter to someone else.

CHAPTER 106 - MOTHER KNOWS SHE'S WRONG

Three years later.

Mom? Why are you here?"

Tang Xin had just returned home from work when she saw her mother, Hong Fen, standing in front of her house. She was very unhappy and always felt that every time Hong Fen came looking for her, it wouldn't be good.

Hong Fen saw Tang Xin frown and felt that her daughter did not welcome her. She wanted to glare at him, but she immediately thought of what she was going to do. Her eyes turned and she could only bear with it.

A hypocritical smile appeared on her face, similar to Tang Xin's usual smile. It was just that the greed in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and Tang Xin's greed could always be hidden carefully.

"If you want to, then come and see you. We
