Chapter 453: Can’t Wait to Get Back to Her Side

Chi Enen remained silent for a long time before her lips finally moved, “I don’t want to go.”

She knew who Gu Qiaomei’s wrist-cutting act was for, and she knew what Gu Qiaomei would say if she went; she didn’t want to go. At the same time, her heart felt as if it was clamped with a huge shackle, making her struggle to breathe.

Huo Yi saw her pale face and her utterly exhausted look, feeling a bit regretful that he blurted out the news to her. He quickly said, “Miss Chi, if you don’t want to go, let’s forget about it. Get in the car, I’ll take you and the Little Young Master home.”

“Hmm.”

Chi Enen got into the car.

The atmosphere in the car was oppressive. Chi Enen’s lips were as white as snow, and she didn’t say a word. Huo Yi wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say.

Finally, the car stopped at Zijing Garden.

Chi Enen carried Baby Chi back to the bed in the bedroom, tucked in the quilt, then stepped onto the balcony to catch some fresh air.

As she stood there, a throbbing pain suddenly started at her temple.

Chi Enen was in such a foul mood that she didn’t feel like doing anything else and simply took a nap with Baby Chi…

…

The news of Gu Qiaomei’s wrist-cutting undeniably added fresh sensationalism to the almost subsided drama-filled gossip about the wealthy family.

Journalists, like cats that smelled blood, crowded at the Hospital entrance, Chi Corporation, and Chi Jianguo’s villa… Just as the online discussion reached a new peak, someone leaked that Gu Qiaomei’s wrist-cutting was linked to Chi Enen.

Suddenly, the public sentiment towards Chi Enen changed.

Voices started accusing Chi Enen of being too heartless, of not being grateful for the care shown by her nominal mother Gu Qiaomei, of utterly destroying her…

And this point of view even gained significant acceptance, with some people starting to slander Chi Enen’s biological mother, Lin Ping, as not having been seduced by Chi Jianguo but instead being money-hungry and deliberately seducing Chi Jianguo, wrecking his family.

Gu Qiaomei gained more people’s sympathy, and at the same time, Chi Enen was increasingly personally attacked by more people…

In Country W, Li Beijue received Huo Yi’s report the first time and furiously threw his mobile phone onto the ground—

The Conference Room fell silent.

Nobody dared to rub him the wrong way at this moment.

He took a couple of heavy breaths, his falcon-like eyes were cold and fierce!

Gu Qiaomei had plenty of times to cut her wrists, but she chose to do it right after encountering Chi Enen at Left Bank; her intentions couldn’t be more clear!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn’t care whether she lived or died. If it weren’t for considering Chi Enen’s feelings, he would have personally made them suffer a fate worse than death long ago!

And yet, Gu Qiaomei had the nerve to trouble Chi Enen!

And Chi Jianguo, thinking of exploiting the situation, was going around seeking people to smear Chi Enen…

Just thinking about how Huo Yi mentioned that Chi Enen had been distracted since returning from Left Bank and had retreated to her room, Li Beijue wished he could fly straight back to Rainy City.

But…

He clenched his fist and slammed it onto the conference table with a force that shook the room, growling with a face as dark as water, “Continue!”

He needed to wrap up his current affairs as quickly as possible to get back to Rainy City immediately!

Once he was done, nobody would be able to stop him!

“The project we were just discussing, I want to see your solutions in half an hour!”

“President Li, half an hour is too short, it’s impossible to do it…” the Planning Department Director said, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Li Beijue shot him a cold glare, completely unreasonable, “I don’t want excuses, this is an order!”

“…Yes, President Li.” The Planning Department Director slowly lowered his head.

Everyone in the Conference Room felt on edge, fearing they could be the next one called out…
