Chapter 10 The Heiress Who Was Rejected from the Engagement
"How lively!" The man, who had stirred up family discord with just a few words, exclaimed without any self-awareness.
Ling Yi glanced at him, confirming once again his perverted nature.
However, after confirming that this attribute would not harm her, she was no longer so resistant, and she no longer had a stress response to Zhou Ziheng's approach.
"Let's go." This is just the beginning; the real excitement at the Qi family's house is yet to come.
Ling Yi glanced deeply at Qi Qingran, who was bewildered, ashamed, and angry, before turning and leaving.
That one glance instantly cleared Qi Qingran's chaotic mind.
Because of her illness, the woman had a fragility he had never seen before, as if she truly possessed a woman's softness and charm, and her deep gaze seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.
For a moment, he began to wonder if what he had done that day had been too reckless.
Qi Qingran felt a sudden warmth on her shoulder and looked down to see Gao Qianning's hand on her shoulder.
She seemed extremely nervous, placing her hands on his body with a sense of dependence, yet afraid of hurting him, she dared not use any force.
Qi Qingran's distracted thoughts vanished instantly. She placed her hand on Gao Qianning's shoulder and whispered, "Let's be good to each other from now on."
Recalling the past would only make him look ridiculous, and he would never have anything to do with the woman who hurt him.
The only woman by his side will be Qian Ning, and they will live happily ever after.
Gao Qianning responded softly, but felt an emptiness in her heart.
She saw the way Qi Qingran looked at Ling Yi, and she began to hate Qi Qingran's indecisiveness.
Ling Yi was unaware of the excitement that followed the Qi family's arrival. After being escorted home, she was subjected to a barrage of various tonics, which quickly made her face rosy and even restored the warmth of her hands, which had been cold due to her injury.
Before she was fattened up like a pig, she finally stopped the fattening process and tried to leave the house.
She has witnessed her parents' busy schedule these days.
To avenge their daughter, Ling's parents were tearing flesh from their bodies with almost all their might.
The Qi family was a powerful and deeply rooted clan, not one to be trifled with. Naturally, they were unwilling to be slaughtered, and the two sides fought back and forth.
Fortunately, in this life, she no longer had to act like a clown and give others leverage against her, so overall, she won more than she lost.
"Mom, I'm all better now and I can go back to work." At the breakfast table, the only place in the family where everyone could gather together, Lingyi made her request to return to work.
Ling's mother glanced at her husband and smiled nonchalantly: "Yi Yi dislikes going to work the most. It's okay to rest for a while longer. Mom will give you leave."
She didn't really want her daughter to get involved in this mess.
Ling Yi shook her head decisively: "I don't want to rest anymore."
She still has the original owner's wishes to fulfill. Not to mention dealing with the Qi family, she is always useless and always makes her parents worry. Under such circumstances, how can she enjoy her old age in peace?
He was probably still worrying about his daughter's future the second before he closed his eyes.
To put her parents at ease, she always had to stand on her own two feet.
Just as her father was about to try to persuade her, she spoke up: "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I know what you're doing."
Lowering her eyes, Ling Yi put on a somewhat sorrowful look: "I don't want you to be busy for me all day long, but you are powerless to do anything about it."
"If I could, I'd like to help you too." She looked up and said affectionately and coquettishly, "I want to fight alongside my mom and dad."
"I will become very strong and protect my mom and dad."
Ling's parents were moved to tears by their daughter's sweet words. Just yesterday, she was wearing a little dress and asking for lollipops, but today she already wants to fight alongside them. She's really grown up!
Damn Qi Qingran, damn the Qi family! If it weren't for them, their precious daughter would still be a little princess who never grows up!
Ling's father felt as if someone had squeezed his heart. He wiped his eyes and said repeatedly, "Alright, alright, we'll let you do whatever you want. Dad will teach you!"
So what if I can't learn it? So what if I only work hard for three days and then slack off for two?
At least at this moment, Yi Yi's desire to fight alongside them is genuine!
Even learning a little bit is good!
Thus, Lingyi finally regained her job opportunity.
To show her determination, she even gave up her own private office for slacking off and moved to the secretariat to live with a group of female secretaries.
It's not that she enjoys working with others, but rather that having more people around makes it easier to ask questions when she doesn't understand something.
It's impossible to consult the chairman about every trivial matter, right? What about President Ling's own affairs?
Thus, the Secretariat of General Manager Ling presented a rather strange scene.
The once pampered young lady who used to slack off for five minutes at work and spend an entire week doing so has suddenly changed her ways and started to seriously learn about company affairs, and she's even learning quite quickly!
Red rain is falling from the sky, the sun is rising in the west, and the earth is starting to rotate backwards!
Secretaries who had experienced the spoiled attitude of young ladies before were simply incredulous at this scene!
Facing a group of hesitant gazes, Ling Yi made herself a cup of torture-themed black coffee to perk herself up, and said leisurely, "Even getting revenge isn't satisfying when relying on my parents!"
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood!
They all knew about the discord between the Ling and Qi families at their wedding, and now seeing Ling Yi become so motivated because of hatred, they couldn't help but marvel at the power of hatred.
If President Ling had known about this earlier, I wonder if he would have staged a dramatic scene of annulment for Miss Ling much earlier.
When President Ling, who was passing by the secretariat, heard these words, he almost ground his teeth to powder. His poor, adorable daughter!
That damned Qi Qingran!
He made another grudge against that little bastard!
"What did President Zhou say?" He glanced at his secretary, who was looking down, and asked.
It was on that day at the hospital that he learned that everything that had happened that day was actually done by Zhou Ziheng's grandfather in an attempt to kill him.
After Zhou Ziheng discovered the truth, he seemed to let loose and told him the whole story without any concealment, and even extended an invitation to join forces to take down the Qi family.
"I need to let people know that anyone who colludes with the Zhou family to deal with me will not have a good end." The nonchalant expression on Zhou Ziheng's face when he said these insidious words still makes President Ling feel lingering fear when he thinks about it now.
"I spoke with Mr. Zhou's secretary, and they clearly stated that they're coming to our company for discussions and will arrive at 2 PM this afternoon." Mr. Ling's brow twitched slightly as the secretary said this.
There's a certain significance to where you conduct business; going to the other side's territory means you're inherently at a disadvantage.
How could Zhou Ziheng, who is known for his ruthless and heartless nature, make such a humble decision?
What happened to him?
