Chapter 41
Encountered a Bad Person (1)
Xiao Ran had always thought that all women who got involved with Tang Yu were daughters of the rich or of the famous… but now it seemed like that obviously wasn’t true!
The door shut again. Pei Qiqi had come out with freshly applied lipstick that was her signature color. She didn’t dare to look at Tang Yu as she continued to clean…
The room was silent. Other than the sound of weak breathing, there was the sound of him flipping through his documents and the sound of Pei Qiqi walking around on the carpet…
By the time it was 5:00 pm, Pei Qiqi walked over to Tang Yu and said in a quivering voice, “I’m off work now!”
Tang Yu gave her a look and nodded…
Pei Qiqi left and Meng Qingcheng entered. All afternoon he stopped himself from coming here.
He closed the door and asked, “Did the young girl confess?”
“How meaningless!” Tang Yu was buried in documents, “Meng Qingcheng, if you are so free, then I have a suitable project in Africa for you!”
Meng Qingcheng brandished his arm and then leaned into the desk. He lowered his head, “You sure are addicted to the game. Last time, it was a professional uniform, today, this time, it was a cleaner’s uniform. What do you want her to cosplay next time?”
Tang Yu gave him a warning glare, causing Meng Qingcheng to cough gently, “You are taking this seriously?”
“Transfer her to the secretary’s department. Her work hours will be from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. However, there won’t be any need for her to do any cleaning,” Tang Yu ordered.
Meng Qingcheng heard this and joked again, “I told you she looks better in a professional uniform.”
Tang Yu only glared at him before he started organizing his things and grabbing his jacket…
Meng Qingcheng followed, “I heard from Xiao Ran that the old man is asking you to go home for dinner?”
Truth was that having a meal was fake, but going on a blind date was real. Every time he went home, he ate with a prominent beauty. His mood was never great.
Tang Yu paused his steps. “I will go back on Friday.”
Meng Qingcheng knew that the only reason Tang Yu was willing to go back was that he wanted to see Tang Xin.
Though they were step-siblings with different mothers and though Tang Yu never liked his dad’s new wife, Zhao Ke, he really liked and took good care of Tang Xin.
Sadly, Tang Xin was born with a blood disease. It was chronic and she had been waiting for a bone marrow match.
“What if I go back with you? I haven’t seen little Tang Xin in a long time!” Meng Qingcheng stopped joking and said in all seriousness.
Tang Yu glared at him and entered the elevator. Staring into the mirror, he mindlessly adjusted his tie, “Qingcheng, Tang Xin is only 16. You two aren’t a good match.”
This one statement pained Meng Qingcheng a lot. He also felt uncomfortable towards his secret being blown.
He entered the elevator and worked hard to explain, “I treat her like a little sister. She’s your little sister, which means she’s my little sister.”
Tang Yu remained unmoving, “Meng Qingcheng, you have a sister.”
Meng Qingcheng was silent…
After a long time, someone finally spoke, “Where are you returning to tonight?”
“Summer City!” Tang Yu uttered out.
Meng Qingcheng shut up.
…Pei Qiqi left Sheng Yuan. When she was on the bus, she got a phone call from Pei Huan.
Pei Huan jumped right into it without giving Pei Qiqi any chance to collect herself. “Jinrong and I are getting engaged. The ceremony is happening next Saturday. Pei Qiqi, you will be there right?”
Pei Qiqi held onto her phone and felt the entire world’s evil intention.
How could she not know that this was Pei Huan’s provocation?
After a long time, she finally smiled. A faint smile. There was no sign of life on her face but she was always smiling…
“Pei Huan, I will go.” Then, Pei Qiqi asked, “When is dad getting discharged from the hospital?”
