That night, Ye Xi did not come back. Huang Xiaoxi did not remember when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, it was already the next morning.
She hurriedly ran to Ye Xi's room and knocked on the door for a long time, but it was quiet inside. There was no sound at all. She was anxious, ran downstairs in a hurry, and asked the lady at the front desk in broken English, but was told
Tell him that he has never come back.
Huang Xiaoxi returned to the room dejectedly. Huang Xiaoxi felt uneasy. She turned on the TV and watched the latest live broadcast, but her heart was far away.
Where did Ye Xi go? Could something happen to him...
He said that he just went back to pick up something and would be back soon. They were going to Paris tomorrow. Shouldn't he be back to prepare everything now? Or maybe he was going to buy a plane ticket and prepare documents and so on.
?
Consoling herself in this way, Huang Xiaoxi continued to be in a daze.
Suddenly a piece of news was broadcast on TV, which immediately caught her attention.
"Mr. Yin Chenhao, the president of a well-known enterprise, will arrive in the United States in the near future to cooperate with a well-known American enterprise. It is said that the company has proposed to cooperate with Yin more than once, but has always been rejected. So, let us ask why Mr. Yin suddenly
Have you changed your mind?"
On the news, a sweet female voice came. The female reporter took the microphone and handed it to a man beside her.
The camera turned around, and that familiar face immediately appeared on the screen. He was still as handsome as ever, wearing a black suit. No matter how he looked at it, people couldn't take their eyes away. There was even a sound coming from the scene.
He screamed loudly. You can imagine how many women were crazy about his appearance.
Huang Xiaoxi was also fascinated in front of the TV. Looking at his perfect face and beautiful facial features, her eyes were a little moist.
When faced with reporters' questions, his attitude was a bit indifferent, but he was not impatient. If the reporters asked him anything, he would quickly give a list of recommendations fluently and logically, leaving no room for criticism.
It cannot be denied that he is a perfect man, so perfect that she feels inferior and ashamed. Looking at his radiant appearance on TV, Huang Xiaoxi lowered her head. There was no pride in her heart, but only a stronger sense of inferiority and self-deprecation.
How could such a perfect man be her husband? How could it be possible? Who would believe it if she told it? If someone else said this, she would definitely not believe it, right?
Then what else does she have to be sad about?
Huang Xiaoxi turned off the TV, fell on the bed and covered her head with the quilt, feeling sour in her heart.
That night, Ye Xi still didn't come back. Huang Xiaoxi became anxious.
He said that he would stay in the United States for a maximum of three days and must leave after three days. Why hasn't he come back yet? Is there really no problem if something goes wrong?
Such thoughts made her upset. She looked at the phone in her hand and couldn't press the power button.
She doesn't know what she's afraid of. Maybe she's afraid that Yin Chenhao will find her, maybe she's afraid of being questioned by the superior, but in fact, she's more afraid of opening her phone and finding it empty and quiet. Is there anything there? She's just so timid...
…
Ye Xi didn't come back, and her uneasiness kept spreading.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, she couldn't remember how many times she heard footsteps outside and jumped up to see if it was Ye Xi, but no, it had never been... Every time she ran out excitedly, she saw a strange face.
At that time, she returned disappointed again.
"I can't stand it anymore..." Huang Xiaoxi finally pressed the power button hard. If she continued like this, she thought she would go crazy. Without news from Ye Xi, she had no idea how he was doing now, let alone
What should I do next? I feel like a headless fly.
Watching the phone light up, Xiaoqin's photo on the screen slowly became clearer, and her heart began to beat wildly.
The boot process was completed quickly. She waited uneasily for a few seconds before her phone finally began to vibrate desperately, louder and louder.
I hurriedly opened my phone. There were only some messages on it, many of which were reminders of missed calls. Some were from Yao Xue, some were from Shangguan, and some were from Manager Hu, but there were no messages from Yin Chenhao and Ye Xi...
Her mobile phone card was given by Yin Chenhao and could be used wherever she went, so she didn't have to worry about missing some information due to signal problems. However, she was disappointed because there was no information she wanted.
After gathering her emotions, she was about to call Ye Xi when the phone rang.
Looking at the number on the screen of her mobile phone excitedly, she saw a familiar name, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. She hesitated and answered the call.
"Hey, Shangguan..."
"Xiaoxi, you finally answered the phone..." Shangguan's excited voice came from the other side for a long time, and Huang Xiaoxi could almost imagine how excited she was at this moment.
"Xiao Xi, tell me, where are you now..." Shangguan asked loudly, his voice a little urgent.
Huang Xiaoxi was startled, and after a while she smiled and said, "I'm in Los Angeles."
So what if she told him? She was leaving here tomorrow anyway, and she wasn't afraid of her whereabouts at the moment being known.
However, Shangguan then asked, "Los Angeles? Why did you go there? Xiaoxi, do you know that I, I have been looking for you for a long time..."
"I'm sorry, Shangguan, I didn't mean to..." Huang Xiaoxi could understand Shangguan's words. He was the boss of the company. It was normal for him to look for her when she didn't go to work.
But Shangguan's next question made Huang Xiaoxi frown. He said, "Xiaoxi, who did you go to Los Angeles with? Tell me quickly..."
Huang Xiaoxi smiled strangely, "Shangguan, I came with a friend, what happened?" Does it matter who she came with? Why is he so nervous?
"Is it Ye Xi, Xiaoxi..." Shangguan's voice was a little heavy, which made Huang Xiaoxi's heart skip a beat.
She was stunned for a while, remembering that Ye Xi had not come back yet, the worry in her heart increased a bit, and nodded, "Yes, it turns out you know him. I still have something to do, Shangguan. If there is nothing else, I will follow you later."
Please contact me."
She is very worried about Ye Xi and must contact him quickly.
But Shangguan cried out excitedly, "What? Is it really him? Damn it, Xiaoxi, leave him immediately, he will kill you. Leave where you are, leave him..."
Listening to Shangguan's excited voice, Huang Xiaoxi intuited that Shangguan knew something about Ye Xi, so she calmly asked, "Shangguan, I don't understand what you said? Ye Xi is not a bad person. Do you have a misunderstanding with him?"
"Xiao Xi, I don't know what to tell you. Anyway, you should leave him quickly. Believe me, he is not a good person. He must have some intention in taking you abroad." Shangguan's voice changed from his usual calmness.
Becoming excited and impatient. "I should have told you earlier, damn it. Xiaoxi, tell me where you are and I will pick you up..."
Believe him? She remembered that Ye Xi said the same thing, and she had always believed Ye Xi's words. But now Shangguan came to tell her, believe him, Ye Xi is a bad person... What should she do?
Huang Xiaoxi's mind was a little confused, biting her lip, not knowing what to do. Over there, Shangguan continued, "Xiaoxi, believe me, my sister almost lost everything because of him. You must have seen the news.
Yes, about the sudden disappearance of Shangguan Yuqi..."
Hearing Shangguan's words, Huang Xiaoxi suddenly remembered the news she saw a year ago, where it was indeed mentioned that the CEO of Weilan Company, Shangguan Yuqi, disappeared and was found three months later. At that time, because of the lack of
She didn't pay attention to her own business. Now, is that really the news that happened to Shangguan Yuqi?
But, what does this have to do with Ye Xi?
The answer was ready to come out. Huang Xiaoxi bit her lip, but she was resisting in her heart. No, that must not be true. Ye Xi is not that kind of person, not...
"Shangguan, you must be mistaken, Ye Xi is my good friend..." Huang Xiaoxi answered with difficulty, her heart was shaken, but she knew that her will could not be shaken, Ye Xi was her only support now, she
You have to believe him, right?
But why did she feel that her inner belief was completely destroyed when Shangguan said, "That's what Ye Xi did!"
Holding the phone tightly in her hand, she gritted her teeth stubbornly and asked tremblingly, "Shangguan, you must be lying to me, I don't believe it."
"Xiao Xi, believe me, Ye Xi's father is a gangster. He once stirred up trouble in China three years ago and caused chaos in the entire S city. After he left, S city slowly became active again. At that time, you were still
When I go to school, I naturally don’t know about these things. But I know... Xiaoxi, Ye Xi’s purpose is to ask a woman to give birth to a girl for him. My sister gave birth to a girl for him half a year ago, but because it was a boy, she was still alive.
It’s so damn hard…”
Shangguan's words hit Huang Xiaoxi's heart one by one, making her whole body tremble.
No, this is not true... This must not be true. It sounds like a thriller. How could such a thing really happen? Shangguan must have made a mistake, it must be...
"Xiao Xi, don't be stupid. Why would a man be nice to you for no reason? You should know it if you think about it... beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..." Shangguan's voice on the phone was suddenly disturbed by something and became very unclear.
, and not long after, there were a few beeps, and the network was cut off...
Huang Xiaoxi sat quietly in the room, looking at the phone whose screen had turned black, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It felt like having a nightmare, or listening to a scary story. In this empty room, Shangguan's words were echoing, making it even more terrifying and terrifying.
Huang Xiaoxi sat quietly in the room holding her knees, looking around with vigilant eyes. While telling herself that Shangguan's words were false, she was also afraid that something would suddenly appear and scare her off guard.
