Isn't bankruptcy a loss?

  Song Yu couldn't help but muster up the courage to lift her head and look at him, his face didn't show any unusual expression, as if he had really put the previous question aside, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

  She relaxed her expression and picked up her phone: "I should be free, I'll give him a call."

  She dialed the number and after a while, she said, "Dad, tomorrow I'm going home with Qi Chengzhi."

  “……”

  "There's nothing, just something I want to tell you all about."

  “……”

  "Not necessarily, don't make wild guesses, won't we know tomorrow anyway?"

  “……”

  "No, really no. You don't have to change mom's phone, I... mom..."

  “……”

  "Come on, stop daydreaming all day, we're going back tomorrow! Never mind, see you later."

  Song Yu never dared to give Yu Qianying another chance to speak, and quickly hung up the phone.

  ……

  ……

  Jian Yi was soaking in the bathtub, took out his usual phone, opened the encrypted file, and two photos appeared inside.

  But unexpectedly, it was the two photos of the acquisition documents that Xiatian had secretly taken in the study of Zhijing Garden before, which were clearly deleted by Old Lady Qi.

  Originally, it was also impossible to investigate Jian Yi's whereabouts.

  However, this is all thanks to the sudden explosion of Hollywood star photos being hacked and leaked earlier, which made people realize that even if the photos on their phones have been deleted, there will still be backups in the cloud.

  Xia Wennan and the old lady at their age can already use the phone's functions properly, how would they know about these things.

  Jian Yi also made friends with people from all walks of life over the years, and as long as he thought they could be useful in the future, he would make friends with them regardless of their background.

  He then used his connections to get in touch with a well-known hacker, and with a try-to-see attitude, invaded Xue Wen Na's cloud storage, finding the two photos.

  He didn't go to Qi's house tonight because he had an appointment with that contact person.

  Hacking into someone's cloud, this is an illegal act, so it's impossible to show up in person, even online contact with Jian Yi directly is not possible, and the intermediary has always been responsible for contacting.

  These two photos were also just obtained by him tonight.

  Because there are only two photos of him, and they are the first and last ones in the file, he is still not very clear about the specifics.

  Fortunately, the last seal of the company was still somewhat obvious, and he could continue to investigate.

  ……

  ……

  The next day, Song Yu had to go to work. He felt that if he didn't go, he would be uneasy and it would take a long time to adjust the time difference.

  Moreover, I couldn't leave all official business to Ruan Dan Chen, so I insisted on going to work.

  Zi Chengzhi could only send her to the company, and when they entered the office, Ruan Danchen was organizing her work notes, so Song Yuluo handed over the work assigned to her, which made it easier for Song Yuluo to take over again.

  Song Yu felt embarrassed and gave the gift to Ruan Dan Chen. The gift was not wrapped, it was just the skincare brand's own gift box.

  Ruan Dan Chen took one look and knew that this set would cost nearly ten thousand, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Just because you're willing to spend so much, I'd be happy to do another month's work for you!"

  "Don't joke around." Song Yu smiled and said, "You've been working hard lately."

  Didn't I tell you? There's not much work. Ruan Dan Chen handed over the completed work notes to Song Yu, "This is the work from when you were away, take a look and then just take over directly."

  Song Yu picked it up and was about to speak when the office phone on the table rang.

  Song Yu picked up, just said: "Hello, Cheng——"

  "Song Yu, it's me, Jian Yi." Jian Yi's voice came from the phone, and his tone was very pleasant to listen to, rich and magnetic. However, when Song Yu heard it, he felt that it lacked the kind of heart-piercing feeling that Qi Cheng had.

  "Manager Jian, is there something I can help you with?" Song Yu asked indifferently, but his tone was no longer as impatient as it had been the night before.

  But Jian Yi gripped his phone tightly, because Song Yu didn't show any impatience in her tone, it was all because she had put on the polite attitude used to deal with customers.

  At this time, he called her office landline, using work as an excuse, making it impossible for her to refuse. Apparently, she had also figured it out.

  "Song Yu, you can get engaged to Qi Chengzhi, but don't rush into marriage," Jian Yi said.

  Song Yu's face turned cold, suppressing the urge to scold him for his shamelessness. He took a deep breath, forcing down the flames in his heart, and calmly said: "Manager Jian, if it's related to work, you can say whatever you want. But if it's about my personal matters, please don't bother me again."

  "Song Yu, I'm doing this for your own good!" Jian Yi exclaimed, "Why are you being so stubborn and refusing to listen? I told you that Qi Chengzhi is not trustworthy, do you think he's going to be the future master of the Qi family, so you're reluctant to give up the status of being the future mistress? Or, are you planning to marry into the Qi family to take revenge on me?"

  His words really made Song Yu's anger have nowhere to vent.

  He was hitting the landline in the office, and with so many colleagues around, Song Yu couldn't scold him directly.

  But Jian Yi is also too shameless!

  Isn't it also too arrogant!

  He who is shameless himself also thinks others are shameless.

  Song Yuqi's eyes turned sour, her throat felt acidic, and even her eyes surged with a wave of acid pain.

  It's not because Jian Yi misunderstood her, but Jian Yi actually dared to distort and slander her feelings for Qi Cheng Zhi!

  She always felt that her feelings for Qi Chengzhi were very pure, why did Jian Yi, a petty person, use his petty mind to speculate about it?!

  "You're really disgusting!" Song Yu said through gritted teeth, glancing around the office at her busy colleagues before lowering her voice. "Don't you understand? You're making me sick, you're annoying me, just looking at you makes me want to vomit! Do you know that feeling? Hating someone so much it makes you want to throw up! Even if Qi Chengzhi really did something wrong, it's not for you to judge us. What gives you the right?"

  "In my eyes, even if Qi Chengzhi did something that heaven and earth cannot tolerate, he is still much better than you! Don't even mention comparing with him, just the fact that his name appears in your mouth is an insult to him! I've said it so clearly, do you know what I think of you now? Now I'm telling you straightforwardly, even if Qi Chengzhi did something that wronged me again, I don't care! My parents are healthy and happy now, our family hasn't suffered any loss, why should I care about what he did to me in the past?"

  "I'm telling you, no matter what he's done, I don't care! You think it's because of his status or to get back at you, think whatever you want! If thinking that makes your self-esteem a little better and stops you from bothering me, then go ahead!"

  Song Yu took a deep breath, lowered his voice and said with a trembling tone: "Jian Yi, when I beg you, when I plead with you, is it okay? Don't come to bother me again. I don't hate you, not even a bit. But your behavior now makes me disgusted! Can't you just let me live my life in peace? Why do you have to keep coming to disturb me? You said I wouldn't listen to anything you say, so why do you still keep coming to bother me?"

  "You're married now, and Qi Chengyue is your wife. Although she can be a bit willful at times, she truly loves you with all her heart. For your sake, she's willing to set aside her own willfulness. Don't be ungrateful! In this lifetime, being able to find someone who wholeheartedly loves you without seeking anything in return is your good fortune! She knows clearly that you married her for her utility, yet she still allows you to use her. What more could you possibly ask for from such a woman?"

  "You're still not satisfied with your current life, and you have to stir up trouble for others, disturbing their peaceful lives. You don't know how to cherish the blessings you have, and this will bring you retribution!"

  "Jian Yi, that's all I have to say. If you still want to save face and maintain your dignity, then don't bother me again!" Song Yu said, hanging up the phone without waiting for Jian Yi's response.

  Song Yu was still angry, and Ruan Dan Chen beside him didn't dare to breathe loudly.

  Her seat was right next to Song Yu's, and even though Song Yu lowered her voice, Ruan Dan Chen could still hear it even if she didn't want to.

  She only knew that no matter what Jian Yi said to Song Yu, it must have been something extremely over the line, otherwise Song Yu wouldn't be looking like he was about to cry.

  Ruan Dan Chen sighed, got up and went to the rest room, secretly sent a text message: "Jian Yi just called, don't know what he said, Song Yu was so angry that she almost cried."

  ……

  ……

  Jian Yi stared blankly at her phone, which had long since gone silent.

  His lips trembled, and he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, the bitterness was especially intense, and his eyes couldn't hide the hurt emotions.

  What Song Yu said was so heartless, every word pierced his heart.

  He didn't expect Song Yu to be so ruthless and heartless, treating him with disgust as if he were a loathsome insect.

  Perhaps in her eyes, he was not even worth a maggot.

  Jian Yi took a deep breath, leaned back weakly against the chair, her head tilted back, eyes closed, and endured the stinging sensation in her eyes.

  But his chest still hurts.

  He raised his hand and covered his chest, pressing hard.

  Why doesn't she understand? He's just doing it for her own good and doesn't want her to be deceived by Qi Cheng!

  "Now that my parents are both healthy and well, our family hasn't suffered any losses, why should I care about what he did to me in the past?"

  "Hmph!" Jian Yi let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Song Yu, are you really saying that your family didn't suffer any losses? Don't you count bankruptcy as a loss?"

  After finishing speaking, Jian Yi didn't make another move for a long time.

  He finally took a deep breath, slowly picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it and took a few slow puffs, then extinguished the remaining half in the ashtray.

  Picked up the phone and dialed out again.

  Song Yu has been quiet for a long time, her anger hasn't dissipated yet, she still feels uncomfortable in her heart, her breath isn't smooth, and she can't calm down to focus on work.

  It won't be long before I get annoyed again.

  After great difficulty, I finally concentrated a bit and was about to start work when the fixed phone on the desk rang again.

  She adjusted her mood and politely said: "Cheng Shi Jian, you——"

  "Song Yu, don't hang up the phone, I just want to say one sentence, and then I'll hang up." The voice on the phone was Jian Yi's, speaking hastily and quickly, with a hint of fatigue and bitterness.

  Song Yu gripped the microphone tightly, and then he quickly said: "Song Yu, I now have evidence about what Qi Chengzhi did, but it's not complete yet. The evidence in my hands now, I know that even if I give it to you, you won't believe me. So I will continue to investigate until everything is revealed, and the evidence is laid out before you completely. Let you know that Qi Chengzhi is not trustworthy, let you know who really cares about you!"

  After finishing speaking, Jian Yi unexpectedly hung up the phone himself.

  The calm mood that had finally settled down was messed up again by Jian Yi.

  ……

  ……

  It wasn't until after work in the afternoon that Song Yu's mood improved a bit.

  As soon as he left the company and saw the Range Rover across the street, Song Yu's restless heart suddenly calmed down.

  Her heart was soft and even her mouth corners had a soft smile, carefully waiting for the vehicle to stop, quickly crossing the road and running towards Langshan.

  As soon as he got on the bus, Song Yu saw him sitting there with a clear and introverted expression. Even in the spacious carriage, his long legs seemed to be still bent and cramped.

  There was still a faint smell of tobacco in the car, and even with the window open, the smoke smell didn't completely dissipate.

  Song Yu leaned forward, her hands wrapped around his arm, and sniffed the smell of smoke on his shoulder.

  I didn't dislike the smell of smoke on him in the first place, and now that I've smelled the familiar scent of tobacco, I feel even more at ease.

  "Have you been waiting for a long time?" Song Yu asked with a smile, "Every time I get off work, I can see that you're already here waiting. I know you're busy at work, no need to rush over, I'll just wait for you for a bit."

  Who would have thought that Qi Chengzhi just responded with a lukewarm "uh-huh" and pulled his arm out of her embrace, starting the car.

  Although he has always been so indifferent and cold, but to her, even if his expression is cold, his actions are like fire, and he has never actively withdrawn from her.

  Such an obvious abnormality, how could Song Yu not see it?

  Ke Qi Cheng just ignored her with a bland face and didn't even bother to respond.

  Song Yu didn't know what was wrong with him either, why his face turned red as soon as he spoke, and he couldn't help but feel a little suffocated.

  She was already in a bad mood after being scolded by Jian Yi, and now he's giving her attitude again, how could she not be even more upset!

  She also remained silent, and on this road, the atmosphere in the car felt particularly tense.

  Although it was so, Song Yu still couldn't help but steal glances at him.

  Every time, he would find Qi Cheng's eyes fixed on the road ahead, his face expressionless.

  When his face has no expression, it always looks a bit scary.

  Song Yu was not afraid of him, but because he didn't know what he was angry about, he still felt tense.

  Yan Wei finally drove to a place not far from Songjialou and Qi Chengzhi found a spot to park.

  Song Yu silently sighed in her heart, and a pair of soft small hands somewhat shyly handed over, lightly grasping Qi Chengzhi's hand.

  This was her utmost limit of initiative, if she tried any harder to be nice, she wouldn't be able to do it.

  It's not that I'm trying to be arrogant with Qi Chengzhi, it's just my natural disposition, and I'm actually quite embarrassed about it.

  Qī Chéng's eyes swept over her, seeing that her face was flushed and she looked so obedient, only then did he finally take hold of her hand, no longer unresponsive like before.

  "Is there nothing you want to say to me?" he asked in a still gentle voice.

  This time, Song Yu was stunned and didn't know what Qi Chengzhi meant.

  "No!" Song Yu said subconsciously, indeed didn't know what to say.

  She suddenly paused, seeing Qi Chengzhi's unpleasant expression, and said softly like a spoiled pet: "You're not happy?"

  "It's rare for you to be able to see it." Qi Cheng sneered.

  Song Yu was a bit unhappy when he was teased by him, and it was okay to be angry for no reason. She had already shown weakness and apologized, but he still had such an ambiguous attitude, what did he mean?

  He had never been so sarcastic to her before.

  Song Yu was really angry this time, his face turned cold, and he withdrew his hand, wanting to get off the bus without a word.

  Qī Chéngzhī raised an eyebrow, obviously she was in the wrong, but now she's suddenly putting on airs.

  It's clear that Song Yu is really angry, the car door almost opened, Qi Chengzhi sighed helplessly, looking at the back of Song Yu's head with a gaze full of compromise and indulgence.

  He still couldn't bear the sight of her being angry.

  Song Yu was just about to open the door when his arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, and he picked her up, holding her in his lap.

  "What's wrong with you?!" Song Yu scolded.

  He's the one who gets angry without saying a word or giving any reason, and now he's hugging her again, what does that mean?

  "You're really spoiled, can't even let me throw a tantrum? I haven't even started yet and you're already leaving, saying goodbye just like that?" Qi Chengzhi tightened his grip around her waist.

  "Is this temper of mine something you've gotten used to?" Song Yu was completely unafraid of him, directly using words to counterattack.

  Zi Cheng's face relaxed, and a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, followed by a stiffened expression.

  "I don't know why I'm angry?" he asked coldly.

  "How was I supposed to know? You're being so cold to me for no reason, I thought you didn't like me!" Song Yu said, originally intending to jab at him, but ended up hurting herself instead.

  He suddenly became cold and distant for no reason, what if he really didn't like her?

  Suddenly he found that he didn't like her as much as he thought, and she wasn't as good as he had always thought. She wasn't worth him paying so much for her, and gradually became disgusted with her. What to do?

  His sudden anger today really scared her.

  Her eyes were red with distress as she indulged in such fanciful thoughts.

  As soon as he saw her pitiful appearance, Qi Chengzhi really couldn't muster up any temper and immediately felt heartache and resentment towards himself for having made a face at her for no reason.

  "What's wrong? Don't cry!" Qi Chengzhi's heart ached with urgency, but he wasn't the type to easily show his emotions. His words were still particularly calm, but his face revealed a hint of anxiety as he hastily went to wipe away her tears, afraid that she would really start crying.

  He held her face in both hands and hastily said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have gotten angry without making things clear, don't cry."

  As soon as he said that, Song Yu became even more wronged, and tears began to well up in her eyes, with a few teardrops still clinging to her eyelashes.
