As if granted amnesty, everyone quickly returned to their jobs.
Inwardly, he could not help but mutter: Xie Jingchuan had never gotten so angry at a company before, I don't know what's going on today.
Xie Jingchuan played with his mobile, his eyes deep and serene, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Then I'll be back in ten minutes to remind you."
Liang Yi left the room.
— I'll see you at three o'clock tomorrow.
Heh.
Xie Jingchuan sneered.
That woman's methods were still as clumsy as before.
Her acting was so realistic when she said those words yesterday. When the time really arrived, she would just disappear.
Song Youran was as loathsome as ever.
Xie Jingchuan threw the thought of her aside and continued to attend the meeting as per normal, listening to his subordinates' reports on the progress of the work.
The gloomy expression on his face gradually turned warm again.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
He had successfully passed this day after getting off work.
However, it had been raining since last night, so by the time he got off work, the water was already very deep.
The remaining female staff were chatting in the office, waiting for the person at home to pick them up.
As Xie Jingchuan was passing by, he coincidentally heard someone exclaim, "The mountain over at the Western Suburb is collapsing.
"What are you doing? "It's not your family member who's going to die from the pressure ..."
"This is way too unlucky, it's been so many years since there has been such a heavy rain on Yun City."
"This person is really unlucky. He would choke to death just by drinking cold water."
Western Suburb?
That woman said yesterday that she wanted to go to Western Suburb.
Xie Jingchuan's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.
"CEO."
Someone noticed his appearance and hurriedly greeted him.
The entire company knew that this person was in a bad mood today. After greeting him, the atmosphere became incomparably quiet.
Xie Jingchuan nodded and walked over.
"Just now, there was a call from the old house, asking you to go back and eat di er."
Liang Yi reminded him softly from behind.
"Yes."
Xie Jingchuan rubbed his glabella and did not sleep the whole night.
His head was swelling.
It was raining heavily, and the car wasn't able to get a windshield wiper in time.
There were no pedestrians on the street, and there were even fewer cars than usual.
The red rainstorm warnings on his phone came one after another.
Shi Xiaoxiao was holding an umbrella and waiting for a traffic light. Her long skirt had been drenched by the rain.
Liang Yi stepped on the brake and turned to look at Xie Jingchuan, "The one in front seems to be Miss Shi."
"Let her come up."
Xie Jingchuan rolled down the window and took a look.
"Jing Chuan!"
Surprise flashed across Shi Wei's eyes. She got on the car and sat beside him while trembling."I didn't want to trouble you at first, but it's still ..."
"It's raining so heavily, how can you walk outside alone? I'll send you back first."
Xie Jingchuan said.
Liang Yi looked at the pitiful Shi Wei in the rearview mirror and started the car silently.
The place where Shi Xiuxiang lived was in the opposite direction from her old residence, and right now was the peak hour for getting off work.
Not long later.
The call from the old house came rushing over.
Shi slightly bit her lips and said, "If you have something to say, then let me go." I'll see if I can get a taxi..."
"Go back to my parents' for di er."
Xie Jingchuan said: "You go with me."
Shi was stu ed for a moment.
That was the Xie Clan old house that even the legitimate Mrs. Xie Song Youran had failed to enter three times.
Shi Xiuxiu suppressed the glee in her eyes and asked softly, "Is this alright?"
Xie Jingchuan said in a very calm tone, "There's nothing bad about it."
Didn't she, Song Youran, like to play it by ear?
He let her know what it meant to be the opposite.
When he returned to his old residence, it was already past 7.
Mother Xie was waiting at the door. Seeing Xie Jingchuan bringing back a woman who was completely drenched, her face immediately turned awkward.
They did not like Song Youran.
But that didn't mean he could accept the fact that his son's woman had entered the room like that.
The Xie Clan could not afford to lose this much face.
Having her clothes changed slightly, Mother Xie walked inside with Xie Jingchuan while whispering to him, "This is that Ruo Ruo, right? Even if you don't like Song Youran, you should at least save her some face. This person ... Why did you bring her home? "
When Xie Jingchuan heard Song Youran's name, he was inexplicably a oyed. He only replied, "We bumped into each other on the way, let's take her for a ride."
Walking inside, Xie Jingchuan's father was watching the evening news from Yun City.
The scene of the Western Suburb collapsing on the screen was originally the outskirts of the city. A torrential rain had rained down from the mountain, and the falling rain had caused quite a commotion.
The female anchorwoman's formal broadcast voice made people feel somewhat disgusted upon hearing it.
His father turned around and said, "Jingchuan is back. Let's eat."
Shi Xiuping came out of changing into the clothes Song Youran had left behind earlier and greeted the two elders warmly.
His mother was still alright, so she didn't express her embarrassment.
His father's expression changed immediately."Where's You Ran?" Xie Jingchuan, when did you change your wife?
Xie Jingchuan just happened to speak up.
The phone rang.
He answered.
The sound of the wind and rain was loud and clear, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xie Xie Jingchuan? Cloud. The owner of the 9A721 was killed in an accident. Please confirm her identity."
