Chapter 10 Misunderstanding resolved
In the afternoon, sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into this upscale cafe, creating a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.
Li Jinxi came to her seat early and sat quietly, looking towards the door from time to time, expecting Ye Yue's arrival. She took a sip of coffee and felt the bitter and mellow taste.
She repeatedly flipped through the materials handed over by the special assistant, and each page recorded Ye Yue's background information in detail. It turned out that Ye Yue's parents had divorced a long time ago, and she had lived with her mother since junior high school. Now, her mother was hospitalized early because of uremia. Compared with this incurable terminal illness itself, what was more cruel was the psychological impact it brought to Ye Yue and her daughter.
Faced with such a predicament, Ye Yue had no choice but to give up her stable job, transform herself into a heavily made-up woman, and try to curry favor with rich men like Li Keyi in order to get more funds to treat her mother.
Although Li Jinxi expressed sympathy for her life experience, if she dared to target her husband, she would not hesitate to make her feel more painful than the pain she was experiencing now.
At this moment, a tall and elegant woman stepped into the door of the coffee shop. Her appearance was like a beautiful landscape, attracting everyone's attention. Li Jinxi, who was sitting in the corner, looked at the guest from afar.
Although Ye Yue was wearing heavy and exquisite makeup at the moment, which was very different from the head photo in the information, Li Jinxi recognized her as the person she was looking for at a glance with her keen observation and judgment.
From the moment he stepped into the coffee shop, Ye Yue's eyes were like a high-speed scanner, constantly scanning back and forth among the crowd in the hall, as if looking for someone.
When Li Jinxi nodded gently to Ye Yue, this subtle movement seemed to send a special signal. Ye Yue immediately caught this message and walked towards Li Jinxi without hesitation. Her steps were firm and confident, revealing a different kind of charm.
Finally, Ye Yue walked in front of Li Jinxi and sat down steadily, the two sat face to face. The whole process was as natural and smooth as flowing water, without any delay or hesitation.
Li Jinxi said directly, "Ms. Ye, right?"
Ye Yue stared at Li Jinxi for a long time. She didn't understand who this person who suddenly asked her out was. Finally, she nodded slightly and said, "Hello, it's me."
Hearing this, Li Jinxi took out her cell phone and handed Ye Yue the photo of the woman in front of her and her husband.
Ye Yue just took a look, a little surprised, and then looked at Li Jinxi in confusion.
Li Jinxi said, "Ms. Ye, I want to ask what is your relationship with the man in the photo?"
Ye Yue reacted and said, "It doesn't matter."
Li Jinxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and then emphasized her tone, "Is it really okay?"
Ye Yue seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and then said, "I went to accompany Mr. Li last night, but with your ability, you can definitely find Mr. Li if you want to. As for that man, I only know that he is Mr. Li's friend, and I don't even know his name."
"About this photo... Actually, it was because I accidentally sprained my ankle and he just happened to pull me up from the ground, so it looks like this. Obviously, this photo was taken at that time." Ye Yue explained the whole incident to Li Jinxi in detail.
After listening to Ye Yue's explanation, Li Jinxi finally felt relieved. If this was really just a misunderstanding, then that would be great. So, she said, "I hope what you said is true."
Ye Yue responded: "I don't know where the photo in your hand came from, but everything I told you just now is true and reliable. I have no reason to lie to you!"
Li Jinxi looked at Ye Yue and continued to warn: "Don't try to be clever with me, otherwise you will bear the consequences! You still have to think about your sick mother lying in the hospital."
When Ye Yue heard Li Jinxi mention her mother, her originally delicate and beautiful face instantly became a little moved. Li Jinxi noticed the change in her expression and immediately added: "I hope you can keep everything that happened today a secret." Her tone was firm and serious, and there was a glimmer of unquestionable light in her eyes.
Then, Li Jinxi slowly stood up and picked up a heavy information bag from under the table. Then, without hesitation, she placed it in front of Ye Yue and gently pushed it over: "There is 100,000 yuan in it. I know you may need funds right now, so this can be regarded as your 'hush money'."
Ye Yue looked at the information bag in front of her, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She understood what this money meant to her, but at the same time, she also knew the responsibilities and consequences of accepting this money.
After a moment of silence, Ye Yue finally said, "Okay, I understand. I will keep today's events a secret and will never reveal a single word to anyone."
Hearing Ye Yue's answer, Li Jinxi's face flashed a subtle satisfaction. But she didn't say much, just said lightly: "That's good, I hope you can remember your promise."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Jinxi turned and left, leaving Ye Yue sitting there alone, thinking about everything that had just happened...
Walking out of the coffee shop, Li Jinxi's face, which had been serious just now, broke into a smile. She suddenly thought of Gu Yannian again, and then opened her cell phone to send a message to Gu Yannian.
"Don't send me these groundless things in the future."
Then he turned off his phone, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the mall triumphantly.
Gu Yannian was lying on the sofa in the apartment when he heard the crisp sound of a cell phone ringing.
Gu Yannian, who was only half sober, quickly got up and grabbed the cell phone on the table in panic.
When he opened his phone, he saw a message from Li Jinxi. He was still drunk and had a look of obscene excitement on his face.
When he clicked on it, he saw that Li Jinxi's words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing him again and again.
"Damn it, how could it be"
"Lan Yaoxia, you are lucky"
Gu Yannian angrily threw his phone aside, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.
He thought he could use this opportunity to make Li Jinxi suspicious of Lan Yaoxia, but he didn't expect to fail.
However, Gu Yannian did not give up easily. He decided to look for another opportunity and create a rift between Li Jinxi and Lan Yaoxia.
But when I thought of this, the injustice in my heart became even stronger.
Then he picked up the empty wine bottle on the table and threw it against the wall. With a clang, the pieces of the bottle scattered all over the floor.
One of the debris scattered in the air happened to scratch his face.
A bloodstain gradually appeared on his angry face. He seemed to feel the pain on his face and touched his face with his hand, but the bloody blood stained his hand.
On the other side, Li Jinxi returned to the company in a happy mood.
