Chapter 1304 Yunrui Enchanting: Going to England to Relax
Yang Xiaotang said nothing, but buried her face in the cat's fur. The ragdoll cat seemed to sense its owner's emotions, rubbing its head against her chin and purring softly.
"Is it for Qi Ruixiang?" Yang Bin sat down beside the bed and spoke in a low voice.
When Qi Ruixiang's name was mentioned, Yang Xiaotang's shoulders trembled slightly.
Tears suddenly welled up, splashing on the cat's fur, leaving a small wet mark. "Dad, did he never like me?"
Her voice was as hoarse as sandpaper.
"I sent him a message, but he didn't reply. I wanted to ask him out for dinner, but he said he was busy. I... I don't even know what I mean to him."
Yang Bin's heart sank. He knew it was because of Qi Ruixiang.
"Silly child," he raised his hand and touched his daughter's hair, which was as dry as straw, "It's not worth it to humiliate yourself like this for someone who doesn't care about you."
"But I can't help it." Yang Xiaotang raised her head, her eyes swollen and red like walnuts. "Isn't it obvious that he brought me to the Gu family's banquet? Dad, call him and tell him that you don't object to us anymore. Call quickly, quickly!"
This sentence was like a needle, piercing Yang Bin's heart. He stood up, paced around the room for a few steps, and suddenly grabbed his coat: "Wait, Dad will go and ask for an explanation for you."
Gu Yunqian's office is on the top floor, and the entire city skyline can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He was looking at Miaoyin Media's quarterly report when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Yang Bin walking in with an angry look on his face. He was a little surprised: "Director Yang? What brings you here?"
"Gu Yunqian, you must give me an explanation today!" Yang Bin slammed his briefcase onto the coffee table, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "Your Qi Ruixiang, what have you done to my daughter?"
Gu Yunqian frowned and signaled his secretary to go out first.
"Let's talk it over." He poured Yang Bin a cup of tea. "What happened to Ruixiang?"
"What's wrong?" Yang Bin picked up the teacup and put it down again, not noticing the tea splatter that burned his hand. "He brought our Xiaotang to your family's banquet, and now he's leaving my precious daughter hanging like this. Is that right? You have to make him give me an explanation. I may not be as wealthy as your family, but we have dignity too!"
Gu Yunqian raised his eyebrows when he heard this but did not respond immediately. If Qi Ruixiang knew that Yang Bin would come to him at this moment, he would have been hiding in a corner of England and died of laughter.
"Don't get excited." He chose his words carefully. "Ruixiang is not the kind of irresponsible person. That day was our family dinner. Besides, weren't you there that day? Is there some misunderstanding here..."
"Misunderstanding?" Yang Bin sneered. "My daughter hasn't eaten properly for three days, quit her job, and locked herself in her room. You call this a misunderstanding?"
He stood up suddenly and pointed at Gu Yunqian's nose.
"I'm telling you, I don't care where Mr. Qi is right now. Within three days, I want him to personally apologize to my daughter! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Gu Yunqian's face darkened. He knew Yang Bin was frantic, but the words were indeed harsh.
Besides, no one dares to point at his nose and say that these days!
"I've sent the company's two top executives to the UK to expand business. Getting Qi Ruixiang back isn't as simple as just making a phone call. Why don't I arrange for Xiaotang to go over there? They have to figure out their own problems."
Gu Yunqian suppressed the anger in his heart and said,
"I'll cover all the expenses. Just treat it as a relaxing getaway. What do you think?"
"Let her go to England?" Yang Bin's voice suddenly rose, his knuckles turning white from gripping the sofa armrest. "Gu Yunqian, what do you mean? Can't you see what my daughter's condition is like? You let her fly so far away to confront that Qi Ruixiang? You think she's not suffering enough, right?"
He stood up suddenly, and the hem of his suit jacket swept across the coffee table, shaking the glass on it, and the transparent liquid drew a dangerous arc on the wall of the glass.
The air in the office froze instantly. The sunlight from outside the window shone through the blinds, casting mottled shadows on his bloodshot eyes, like an enraged trapped beast.
Gu Yunqian did not stand up, but leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, making a regular tapping sound.
"Please sit down and listen to me." His voice was deeper than before, with an undeniable calmness. "I want to arrange for Xiaotang to go out and relax. No matter how much we argue here, it won't be as good as her seeing the answer with her own eyes, right?"
"See it with your own eyes?" Yang Bin sneered, the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth twisted into a "川" shape. "How dare you say such a thing? Don't think I don't know why Qi Ruixiang ran so far away! My daughter can hardly even get out of bed now, and you want her to go to England? Gu Yunqian, don't think I don't know what you are planning!"
He walked over to the desk, placed his hands on it, and looked down at Gu Yunqian. "Qi Ruixiang is your man, and Yang Xiaotang is my daughter! Now that something like this has happened, you don't think about how to get Qi Ruixiang to come back and give an explanation, but instead push my daughter into the fire pit? Are you worthy of the friendship between me and your father for so many years!"
Gu Yunqian bit his back teeth and twitched the corner of his lip. When he raised his eyes, the calmness in his eyes became a little sharper.
"Director Yang, I respect you as my elder, so I'm discussing this with you."
There was a hint of coldness in his voice.
"I've already said what I want to say, and I've offered the necessary solutions. If you don't accept any of them, then there's nothing I can do."
"You!" Yang Bin was choked and speechless, his chest heaving violently. It took him a long time to catch his breath. "I don't care! Anyway, I don't agree! If anything happens to Xiaotang, I will never forgive you!"
Gu Yunqian didn't argue anymore, but picked up the intercom: "Come to my office."
When he put down the phone, he looked at Yang Bin who sat back on the sofa angrily, and his tone softened a little.
"I've already had my assistant book the flight for tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM. The company will cover all expenses, and I'll be arranging accommodations in an apartment near the branch office. Don't worry about the security measures."
"You dare!" Yang Bin slammed the coffee table, causing the water in the glass to splash out and wet his trouser legs. "Gu Yunqian, if you dare to force Xiaotang, I will go to the media right now to expose your Miaoyin Media's dirty deeds!"
"Miaoyin Media has always been an honest company and can withstand your test. But as an elder, you are making things difficult for me. I am afraid that as a junior, I feel even more wronged, right?"
Just as Yang Bin was about to speak, the office door opened and Lin Junze walked in with an envelope. Seeing Yang Bin furious on the sofa, he paused. "Mr. Gu, here's what you asked for."
"Put it here." Gu Yunqian pointed to the desk. After Lin Junze left, he picked up the envelope and handed it to Yang Bin. "Here are the plane tickets and the apartment key. Go back and talk to Xiaotang about it. Just think of it as a trip to relax. If you really don't want to stay, you can come back anytime."
Yang Bin stared at the leather envelope, his fingers curled up on his knees, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
He knew that Gu Yunqian was determined to let the children solve the problem themselves, and there was no point in continuing the fuss.
After five full minutes of silence, he picked up the envelope. When he stood up, his back seemed to be hunched.
"If Xiaotang gets wronged over there," his voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, "I'll be the first one to come to you."
Gu Yunqian nodded: "Don't worry."
