Morrison gave it some thought, then he asked, “So, do you mean that Doris isn’t totally confident?”
As Qi Feng took a deep breath, he straightened up and replied, “She’s a powerful character. She wouldn’t just let this go. I’m looking forward to the chaos that’s about to come.”
“We’ll wait and see. By the way, Master, should we keep an eye on Second Master?” Morrison asked.
“There’s no need. I doubt he can do much in City Z. You can leave for now,” Qi Feng said.
“Yes, Master!”
Morrison quietly left the room.
…
The sky slowly turned dark. As the darkness slowly engulfed the very last rays of the sun, the whole world seemed to fall quiet.
The night came with silence.
At midnight in Imperial Sky Entertainment City, Xi Xiaye drove over and parked her car.
“Director Xi!” the manager greeted her the moment she showed up.
Xi Xiaye nodded and went inside while Xiao Mei followed right behind her.
Xi Xiaye had just been pa.s.sing by when Yang Sheng gave her a call and said that Qi Lei was meeting a client there and had drunk quite a lot that night. He also mentioned that Qi Lei had a fight with Qi Qiming, so he was in a pretty bad mood. Therefore, Yang Sheng asked if she could go over to take a look at him.
As Xi Xiaye entered the corridor to the room, she saw Yang Sheng outside the door.
He was relieved to see Xi Xiaye and he quickly went up to her. “Ms. Xiaye!”
“What happened? What’s the matter? What happened to Qi Lei?” Xi Xiaye halted her steps and looked at Yang Sheng.
Yang Sheng sighed. “I forgot to mention it to you and Chairman Mu. Manager Gu suggested to the stakeholders and CEO Qi to transfer Master Qi over to City B and stay there. However, Master Qi is unwilling to comply, and he had a fight with CEO Qi today. He’s since been a bad mood for the rest of the day. Manager Gu came to look for him and she’s inside with him right now. Please take a look inside. I’m really worried about Master Qi!”
Xi Xiaye frowned.
Gu Lingsha?
“How kind of her!”
Xi Xiaye found it ironic. She was not a fool, so it was easy to guess Gu Lingsha’s intentions.
On one hand, she said that their friendship was irreplaceable, but on the other hand, she stabbed him in the back. What a friend!
She knew how bad the relationship between Qi Feng and Qi Lei was, yet she used the excuse of love to hurt Qi Lei, and Qi Qiming did the same as well!
Anger suddenly filled Xi Xiaye!
A cold light glimmered in her eyes before she headed inside.
It was midnight, and the guests were sent back under Yang Sheng’s arrangements, so only Qi Lei was left drinking inside the room alone. He felt annoyed especially with Gu Lingsha in the room with him.
“Go away! I don’t want to see you,” Qi Lei frowned as he emptied a gla.s.s and said coldly to Gu Lingsha.
She wanted to take his gla.s.s away, but he avoided her.
Gu Lingsha stared at him for a while. She gave up stopping him and grabbed an empty gla.s.s for herself instead before filling it up with liquor and chugging it down. She coughed and then looked at Qi Lei.
“I know you must be blaming me right now, but what can I do? What else can I do?”
“I told you that I hope for you to stand on my side, or to be neutral. Do you want me to watch you and your brother become enemies while you make friends with Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye? With what’s happening to my parents, the Mu family and I will have never-ending conflicts from now on. Qi Lei, I don’t want you to become my enemy. Do you understand?” Gu Lingsha sounded angry and anxious.
“I know what you and Qi Feng are thinking. I’m just a bother, aren’t I?” Qi Lei’s tone was chilly while his black eyes were cool as ice. “Gu Lingsha, you’d better stop challenging my limits!”
“I can’t help it if you think of me that way. No matter what, I hope you can follow the arrangements made as that’s the best for everyone! They wouldn’t have dragged you into this mess if they really cared about you. Wouldn’t it be great if you could leave the vortex of conflict from now on?” Gu Lingsha replied firmly.
“You have no right to say those words to me anymore, Gu Lingsha! What right do you have to order me around? Even Qi Qiming wouldn’t talk to me like that. How dare you?!”
“In the end, you just want Qi Kai, don’t you? Let me tell you, Qi Lei. Qi Kai will surely fall into Qi Feng’s hands, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m giving you a chance to create your own world in City B with the help of Hui Gu Corporation, yet you’re rejecting my kindness! I’m very disappointed in you! Just what do you want me to do?”
Gu Lingsha was telling the truth. From Qi Lei’s standpoint, leaving City Z and starting a new career in City B could be a breakthrough for him, but did she really mean what she said?
“Stop being a busybody! You’re Qi Feng’s woman. Your job is just to look after him. Who are you to me? I don’t need you to worry about me.”
As Qi Lei smashed the gla.s.s onto the table, alcohol and blood spilled everywhere.
Shocked by Qi Lei’s behavior, Gu Lingsha’s eyes widened as she gaped at Qi Lei. She then bit her lip and revealed a bitter smile. “I see. What if Xi Xiaye was the one who told you what I just said? Would you still be acting this way?”
“Don’t drag another person into things between us!”
