The intermittent and somewhat incoherent sounds made her feel uncomfortable even listening to them. You Tong clutched the phone tightly, her eyes burning fiercely.
On the other end of the phone, Rong Yuchi remained silent, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he slowly spoke, with an infinite coldness in his low voice, "I will return to Taipei at nine o'clock tonight, and you will pick me up."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
You Tong slowly lowered his hands, and a cold feeling shot up from the soles of his feet and spread all over his body. A feeling even worse than being scolded came to his heart.
Rong Chen hugged her shoulders comfortingly and whispered, "Okay, don't be sad. It was an accident. You made a mistake, but it was not a mistake. Just explain it clearly to him."
You Tong bit her lip, said nothing, and followed Rong Chen to meet with other colleagues in the company.
The bidding failed, and everyone was a little depressed. Rong Chen took a deep breath and tried to adjust the atmosphere, "Everyone goes back to the company first. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight!"
The group of people got on the bus one after another, with You Tong walking at the back. The budget book in his hand had long been turned into a pile of waste paper and had no value at all.
"Rong Chen, I would like to take a day off, is it okay?!"
"sure."
"Thank you." She said gratefully.
Rong Chen shook his head and said a few more words, "Be careful, don't think too much about it, go back and take a shower and get some sleep, eh?!"
"Um."
After You Tong watched Rong Chen and the others leave, he suddenly lost any strength and fell down on the steps. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He felt as wronged as a child.
"You Tong, what you plan for is up to man, and God is up to you. People have to accept their fate!" A sneering female voice hovered in his ears.
You Tong slowly raised his head and caught a glimpse of Li Jiaqi's pretty and proud face, so condescending, and she looked at him with such disdain.
You Tong clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palms, which hurt her heart, but she didn't want to argue with her. There was no point in talking about it anymore.
He stood up and left quickly, his weak body disappearing in the distance.
"Li, Jia, Qi!" sounded slowly with a forbearing low voice, and Li Yuanhang walked from behind with striding steps.
Li Jiaqi looked back and smiled, "Brother."
"I'm not your brother!" Li Yuanhang looked at her with a cold expression, his eyes no longer loving, "I don't have a sister who steals people's things!"
"Brother, what are you doing?! Our Li family won, aren't you happy?!"
"The Li family won, but you lost the dignity of the Li family!"
Li Yuanhang frowned and looked into the distance. The slender figure had long since disappeared, but it was lingering in his mind and tangled in his heart.

That night, the airport.
You Tong stood outside the gate, standing quietly with an uneasy heart.
She had been waiting for several hours, and her legs were numb from standing, but her heart felt worse than her legs. When she thought about facing Rong Yuchi, she felt that even breathing became difficult.
She knew better than anyone how important this project was, but she messed up. She didn't know how to face him.
However, what is supposed to come will eventually come. At nine o'clock sharp, the flight landed, and not long after, Rong Yuchi appeared. In the crowd, he was still so eye-catching.
You Tong's breathing tightened. She didn't know if the air conditioner in the airport lobby was turned on too low, and she suddenly shivered.
