Chapter 51 Temporary calm is for more intense confrontation
Although it is close to midnight, the Chu's Commercial Building located in the city center is still brightly lit. In the cruel business world, no one can succeed casually.
The lobby of the commercial building has a ceiling height of more than ten meters. A huge crystal lamp hangs in the center of the lobby, and the floor is paved with black and white checkered stones, giving people a low-key sense of luxury.
Security guards with batons and neat uniforms stood on both sides of the hall. When they saw Ye Xiangwan walking into the brightly lit hall, their eyes focused on her.
"Miss, your key card." The security guard stopped in front of Ye Xiangwan and reached out to block her. Chu's Building is equipped with extremely high-end security equipment, and it is impossible to enter the elevator or stairwell without the key card.
The last time Ye Xiangwan was able to break into the office, it was entirely because it was daytime. She followed others and sneaked into the elevator. But now it was almost midnight and she was the only one in the hall. She couldn't sneak through the eyes of several security guards.
Go in.
I came here impulsively, but forgot about it. Ye Xiangwan felt dizzy. She touched her eyes with her hands. After the dizziness passed, she slowly said, "I'm here."
The person looking for Chu Di doesn’t have a key card."
"Then...Miss, do you have an appointment?" The security guard exchanged glances. Chu Di is the president of the Chu family. Everyone in the Chu family recognizes him. Although it is not difficult to see Chu Di, it is not difficult.
People looked for him in the middle of the night.
"There is no appointment, but you tell him that he will definitely see me."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Chu is not in the company. Besides, he won't meet you without an appointment. Please come over next time after you make an appointment." Although I think it's suspicious, maybe it's because of Ye Xiangwan's neat clothes.
, the security guard was quite polite to this pale girl.
Ye Xiangwan nodded, stopped talking, and turned around to walk to the leather sofa in the hall.
The air-conditioning in the hall was very strong, and the surface of the sofa seemed to have been frozen. It was freezing to the bone. Sitting on it, Ye Xiangwan couldn't help but shiver.
Regardless of whether Chu Di is in the building or not, she will wait for him today.
If she couldn't wait today, then she would wait until tomorrow, until the day after tomorrow, until he showed up.
There were so many things she wanted to ask him and tell him personally. If she didn't say them again, she might never have another chance. After her father died, she no longer had anything to do with him, and she was no longer afraid of him.
Ye Xiangwan thought, and slowly moved her palm to her pocket. When she touched the cold object in her pocket, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
Chu Di was indeed not in the Chu Family Building at this time.
The news of Ye Zhong's death reached his ears immediately. After only a few minutes of hesitation, he put aside the work at hand and drove to the Rose Manor on the outskirts of City H.
Chu's mother was having afternoon tea, and the slightly Buddhist incense and the fragrance of roses were intertwined, so rich that it was almost hard to breathe.
Seeing Chu Di approaching, Chu's mother seemed to have expected him to come, and waved to him calmly, "Why are you free to come here today? Just in time, you can have a cup of tea with me. Zhong Yue brought some cooked Pu'er.
, it is said to be aged tea and tastes very good.”
Chu Di frowned, pulled the chair away and sat down. Facing the exquisite tea set in front of him, he said indifferently, "Did you do it?"
Mother Chu's movements slowed down, and she glanced left and right. The maids who had been waiting on both sides immediately stepped back. Then she asked leisurely, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't."
"If so, you have to give me a reason."
"Do you want a reason for yourself, or do you want a reason for Ye Xiangwan?"
"Is there any difference?"
The teapot fell heavily on the square table, causing the water in the teacup to ripple out. Mother Chu sneered, "Of course there is a difference. If you want it yourself, then I have nothing to say, because you should have known why I wanted it."
Do that! If you want...Chu Di for that girl, then you will be a huge disappointment to me!"
In fact, he had already guessed that Ye Zhong's death was not that simple, but it was another matter to really get confirmation from his mother.
Mother's position in Chu Di's heart was very important. He always felt that even if she was still brooding about what happened back then, she shouldn't get involved in these things. He should do whatever she wanted to do, and she shouldn't do it.
Dirty your hands.
The last time Chu's mother was admitted to the hospital and after she woke up, Chu Di once asked her if Ye Xiangwan pushed her down. At that time, Chu's mother did not answer directly. She only said that the incident happened too fast and she did not remember it.
Odd, maybe she was pushed, maybe not, or maybe the brakes of the wheelchair failed and she accidentally fell down.
But Chu Di, the wheelchair, has been checked countless times, and there is no problem at all...
Although Chu's mother was frightened, she was not pretending after all. This matter had passed, and Chu Di planned to ignore it. However, she did not expect that the moment of calm was just for a more intense confrontation in the future.
Chu Di did not agree with his mother's approach. He did not feel sorry for Ye Zhong, because some people's fate had lost its meaning as early as the beginning. He just felt a headache. His personality did not allow others to interfere with him.
Make decisions for him, no matter who that person is. His business empire will collapse sooner or later if he cannot control the overall situation.
How many people around you are really loyal to you? Does one oversight mean that everything in the future will have to be decided by Chu's mother's intervention?
He is an adult man, not a little boy. He doesn't need others to tell him how to behave. He hopes that Chu's mother can spend her old age peacefully and not get involved in his affairs and disrupt his original plans.
"Why don't you say anything? Do you blame mom?" Chu's mother said coldly, "I didn't expect that girl to have such a profound influence on you. If I had known, I should have attacked her!"
"Mom! Let me say it again, she has nothing to do with this matter. She has paid the price. I don't want you to touch her again!"
"You don't hope? You don't hope?! What qualifications do you have to tell me that you don't hope? Have you forgotten how you begged her mother back then? And how did she answer you? You have forgotten that we have eaten over the years
The sufferings and sins you have suffered? Haha, yes, you have grown up and your wings have hardened. There is no need for me, an old woman, to plan for you anymore. But, Chu Di, let me tell you, no matter how capable you are, you are still my son.
, you can marry whoever you want and fool around with whomever you want, but not her!"
"Why can't she? She is already pregnant with my child!" These words rushed out of his mouth inexplicably, completely out of his control. Even Chu Di himself was shocked. When did he start to defend Ye Xiangwan?
