Chapter 286 Seeing What Shouldn't Be Seen
"No, nothing happened between us. He was drunk, and I just took him back to his hotel."
Fisher glanced up at her: "You said the same thing a year ago, but what happened in the end? Qin Yun, I'll tell you one last time, who you're with has nothing to do with me, but remember this: I have nothing to do with you anymore. How you play your game is your business, don't drag me into it, OK?"
Qin Yun stared into Fisher's indifferent eyes, her heart trembling. She had a feeling that there was no going back. No, she couldn't give up like this. She had given up her pride and self-respect to reconcile with him, and she absolutely couldn't let go so easily.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yun said, "I understand. What I do from now on has nothing to do with you. But I love you, and I will never give up on you!"
Fisher didn't say anything, and coldly said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave. I've already spoken to HR, and your salary has been settled. I won't see you out."
Qin Yun gritted her teeth in anger, but her face showed a hurt and sorrowful expression. "Fine, I'll leave so as not to make things difficult for you. But Fisher, I won't give up on our relationship so easily. No matter what, I still love you!"
Fisher turned his face away, refusing to look at her again. Only after Qin Yun left did Fisher put down his pen, stand up, and stand in front of the French windows, looking down at the endless stream of cars on the road.
He knew Qin Yun's capabilities; if it was design, keeping her would definitely benefit the company. However, she had only herself to blame for not wanting to work properly and only thinking about scheming against others. No matter how talented someone was, he wouldn't keep her.
Qin Yun's ambition is too great; he even dares to challenge Zuo Zuo! Ha! He can make her lose her foothold in the United States, and he can make her unable to survive in China as well. I'm afraid she still doesn't realize that the person who made her lose her foothold in the American and even European design world wasn't the Stephens, but him.
He sneered, "What an ungrateful woman!"
Inside the restaurant, Chi Moqing stared intently at Yan Zuozuo, "What do you mean you want to accept the challenge? Isn't this fine as it is?"
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "Design has always been my dream. Being able to sit in that position is an affirmation of my abilities. This is all part of my job. Don't overthink it."
Chi Moqing frowned. He didn't know why, but since last night, he felt that his wife was distancing herself from him, rejecting him, and even refusing to talk to him about work. He couldn't understand what had happened to make her wary of him.
"Honey, you've never hidden anything from me about your work before, what's wrong today?"
“Honey…” Yan Zuozuo looked up, “I’m not hiding anything from you now. It’s a work arrangement. I got promoted. Shouldn’t I be happy?”
“I should be happy, but why do I always feel like you’re getting further and further away from me?” Chi Moqing reached out and held Yan Zuozuo’s hand. “Wife, haven’t you always told me that husband and wife should be honest with each other and support each other? But I feel like you’ve been having some problems lately, but you haven’t told me.”
Enveloped in his warm presence, Yan Zuozuo felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Chi Moqing, but she knew very well that if she said it was to avoid implicating him, he would definitely not agree to her getting close to Yi Fanxi, or even doing anything dangerous. Therefore, she didn't tell the truth, but simply said gently, "I'm really fine. I've just figured some things out. Whether it's life or work, I can't always be on the defensive. I need to learn to fight for what I want, to take the initiative. That's it, honey, I'm really okay."
"That's not how it is. I know you very well. Don't try to lie to me. Tell me what's wrong, or if I did something wrong that upset you, tell me too. I'm really worried about you." Facing Yan Zuozuo like this, Chi Moqing felt a tightness in his heart, afraid that the last time she ran away from home would happen again.
No matter how Chi Moqing asked, Yan Zuozuo remained silent, her lips pursed. Finally, seeing that he was really anxious, she said helplessly, "Husband, I don't want others to say that I'm not good enough for you. I don't want to be a burden. You promised me that you would let me grow on my own."
Chi Moqing's heart skipped a beat, and he was speechless for a moment. He pursed his lips and said after a long while, "Wife, it's just the two of us living our lives. Don't pay attention to those gossips outside."
“But I care.” Yan Zuozuo looked at him earnestly and said, “I am the mother of two children. I don’t want them to think I’m weak and can only rely on you for a living. Please, don’t make me such a pathetic woman.”
Looking into her pleading eyes, Chi Moqing felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He knew he probably couldn't persuade her, but if his little wife really did it for this reason, he wasn't incapable of trying to let her grow on her own. If all else failed, he could secretly intervene, as long as his wife was happy.
He sighed softly, held Yan Zuozuo's hand tightly, and said, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, your husband can only support you unconditionally. Wife, keep going."
When Yan Zuozuo saw that Chi Moqing believed her, she immediately smiled broadly and said, "I definitely won't let you down, thank you, husband."
In the afternoon, Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt a severe, intermittent stomachache at work. Fisher called her and asked her to come to his office, but after waiting for a while, she didn't show up. So, he went directly to Yan Zuozuo's office to find her. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yan Zuozuo clutching her stomach and walking out, looking very distressed.
Another sharp pain shot through her, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward. Fisher was startled and rushed to support her, asking anxiously, "Zuo Zuo, what's wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo's face turned pale from the stomach pain. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word, and her whole body was covered in cold sweat.
As Qin Yun left the HR department, she grew increasingly resentful of Yan Zuozuo. Since Yan Zuozuo had already resigned, she didn't care what others thought of her and stormed into Yan Zuozuo's office.
"What are you two doing?!" Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Qin Yun saw Yan Zuozuo lying in Fisher's arms and went berserk. He rushed forward and started hitting Yan Zuozuo, yelling, "Yan Zuozuo, you vixen, have you no shame? How could you do such a thing in the company!"
"Qin Yun, what are you doing?" Fisher pushed her away. Just then, Cai Keren heard the noise and came in. She was also stunned to see Yan Zuozuo and Fisher hugging each other. What was going on?
"What are you standing there for? Go call 120!" Fisher roared.
Cai Keren was startled. Was Yan Zuozuo sick? She quickly dialed 120.
Fisher, still holding Yan Zuozuo, glared at Qin Yun with a dark expression. "You're no longer an employee of Fan Hua Design. Who let you come here? Get out!"
Qin Yun trembled with rage, glaring at Yan Zuozuo as if she wanted to tear her to pieces. Pretending to be sick to seduce her man, was that it? She'd make her pretend to the fullest! Taking advantage of Fisher's intimate gesture as he placed Yan Zuozuo on the sofa, she silently took out her phone…
"Director, I'm fine..." Yan Zuozuo was in so much pain that she could barely speak. She curled up and trembled all over.
"Don't speak, the ambulance will be here soon." Fisher didn't dare to move her, fearing something might happen to her. He was especially worried when he saw Yan Zuozuo's pale face.
However, Qin Yun saw all of this and was convinced that Yan Zuozuo was just feigning helplessness to gain sympathy, and she looked at her with a cold smile. This woman was already married and still so restless. Damn it, she should have completely eliminated her back then, instead of leaving this menace behind.
After waiting for a while and the ambulance still hadn't arrived, Cai Keren became anxious. "Should we take Zuo Zuo to the hospital first? Waiting like this isn't a solution."
"What if something happens to her? She's in this state!" Fisher roared anxiously, wiping the cold sweat from Yan Zuozuo's face. He quickly grabbed his phone and called the family doctor. "I'm saying, Fisher, get to the Municipal Central Hospital immediately, as fast as you can!"
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Fisher somewhat complicated. When they were together, she had also been seriously ill, but she had never seen him so anxious. Now, he was losing his mind because of Yan Zuozuo. Was this still the Fisher she knew?
Is it because of Yan Zuozuo that he can't even control his emotions? Qin Yun clenched his fists tightly and rushed over in a fit of anger, ready to fight Yan Zuozuo.
Fisher was stunned. Seeing that Qin Yun's arm was about to touch Yan Zuozuo, without thinking, he slapped Qin Yun across the face and roared at her, "What are you doing!"
With a forceful pull, Qin Yun, who had just lunged forward, fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled. She covered her face, staring at Fisher in disbelief, "You hit me?"
Fisher had no time to worry about her. Frustrated, he ran his hand through his hair, a cold glint in his eyes, and said in a dark voice, "Get out!"
Qin Yun felt a pang of pain in her heart. She clenched her fists and, like a madwoman, tried to rush forward. Fortunately, Cai Keren reacted quickly and stopped her, shouting towards the door, "Security! Call security in!"
Qin Yun cried and screamed, struggling and cursing until security guards came in and dragged her out, even taking off her shoes, completely losing face.
The ambulance arrived quickly. After a brief examination, the nurses immediately lifted Yan Zuozuo into the ambulance. "Acute appendicitis. Have the hospital prepare the operating room immediately."
……
A loud "Bang!" cast a shadow over the CEO's office. The assistant, startled, rushed in to see what had happened. "CEO!"
Documents were scattered all over the floor, and even Chi Moqing's beloved crystal glass was smashed to pieces.
"Get out!" Chi Moqing's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He even had murderous thoughts.
The assistant was startled and quickly left the office. He wondered to himself, who was this fearless individual who dared to anger their renowned business tycoon? Did they have a death wish?
Chi Moqing stood in front of his desk, the image on his phone like a thorn piercing his heart!
"Damn it!" He slammed his fist against the wall. How dare she post such a photo? Fisher actually dared to lay a hand on his wife!
very good!very good!
