Ji Weixi then paused for a glance at Li Shaoling. “I’ll also apologize for President Li who was also being a little excessive.”

Li Shaoling’s face darkened.

His woman doesn’t apologize to anyone! And he was not at fault.

Still, Ji Weixi had just turned to give a look, signaling him not to talk.

He would be having an outburst if it had been before.

However, all he could do now was to keep it in as she told him told. It was the first time he felt so upset.

Meanwhile, the old lady was staring at Jian Jie with doubt. “Is everything she said true?!”

Since that excuse was far more acceptable than what despicable things Jian Jie had been up to, she bit her lip and nodded.

“Stupid girl!” The old lady coldly reprimanded. “Not everyone could join that company, and even if our family is poor, we are not short on will! You have to admit your mistake if you dragged their feet, but you actually ran! No wonder I could tell you’re not acting straight even at home!”

The old lady scolded her agitatedly to the point that her face went red, and quickly hurried to Li Shaoling and was about to kneel. “I’m sorry, President Li! My granddaughter has troubled you… you can punish me however you want, but my granddaughter is still young!”

At first, Li Shaoling would have not entertained her, but feebly caught the old lady after Ji Weixi threw him another look.

“You don’t have to apologize.” He said coolly.

Then, Ji Weixi timely took over the conversation. “Grandmother, is it alright if we talk about this matter alone with Jian Jie?”

“Of course! She has to take responsibility for her own mistakes! But…”

The old lady nodded, and knowing that the one named President Li Was rather obedient to the young, beautiful lady, she grasped Ji Weixi’s hands and begged. “Young lady, I only have one granddaughter. May I ask that you don’t make it too hard for her?”

The old lady was quite contradictory—after giving Jian Jie a justified scolding a moment ago, she was now changing her tune and asking for mercy.

Still, Ji Weixi could understand her, and nodded. “Alright.”

Jian Jie was stamping her feet. “Grandmother!”

“Make sure to apologize to President Li and this lady!”

The old lady coldly said, before turning and going back inside her house with a cold snort.

Nonetheless, the atmosphere turned cold immediately when she left.

It was a rather remote location near some woods, with a few benches placed beside a table.

Although Jian Jie disliked Ji Weixi and would rather shoot her ugly looks, Li Shaoling was present and she was very cautious about that.

After all, he is someone who could call the shots in River Town.

“President Li… Miss Ji, p-please sit.” Jian Jie gestured as she walked up to one of the benches.

“As long as you expose the ones who made you do it, I can pretend everything never happened.” Li Shaoling’s voice was cold.

Jian Jie kept shaking her head in bafflement. “President Li, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Wow. Still playing dumb.

Ji Weixi walked up to Jian Jie, using her height advantage to overwhelm her while also advising her good-naturedly. “I don’t know what they gave you, Jian Jie, but I won’t trouble you as long as you make it clear to everyone that someone else was behind Lin Xiaoman’s incident and it had nothing to do with me. You would even profit more from us, how about that?”

Jian Jie had played the thief who cried thief, making Ji Weixi her scapegoat—it was already marvelous that Ji Weixi could keep her patience to make a deal with Jian Jie.

Even so, Jian Jie was not buying it. She simply hung her head and stood where she was, pretending as if she heard nothing.

Her look pretty much said ‘I’m not talking whatever you would give me’.

As such, Ji Weixi took a deep breath and adopted a colder tone. “It’s fine if you won’t talk. When I take you to court over the slander, do you think your grandmother would ever see you again?”

Jian Jie finally looked up then, looking very much upset. “Miss Ji, I was only telling the truth, as I had always been. Don’t you know what you did? And I’m not a part of CBS anymore! All your problems have nothing to do with me… I-I’ll start a new life…”

Pausing, Jian Jie then sneaked a glance at Li Shaoling, mustering her courage as she said, “I-if you bother me again, I’ll call the police!”

With that, she turned and strode away panickily.

Never has there been another person who could be so shameless.

Be that as it may, Ji Weixi now finally met one and broadened her horizon. Jian Jie was lying so pathologically that she must believe her lies to be true.

Today was also the second day of her period, and she had been enduring the discomfort in the first place.

And the moment Jian Jie was finished, she could feel a warm stream flowing downwards without stopping in her underbelly…

Her waist was hurting unbearably.

“Stop!”

Li Shaoling suddenly yelled, and Jian Jie froze immediately in fright.

“Turn around.” He commanded with a sinister coldness.

Jian Jie did so with her back hunched, and looked at Li Shaoling cringingly.

The skies were almost covered in dark clouds, the oppressive grayness leaving anyone breathless.

At the same time, Li Shaoling’s dark look would leave anyone shivering in fear even if it wasn’t cold.

He was menacing despite not looking angry whenever he doesn’t talk.

“Don’t you know that even if you submitted your resignation personally, it has to go through confirmation from HR?”

Jian Jie looked at him in confusion.

“And since human resources had not examined and approved your resignation, you’re still an employee of CBS.”

Jian Jie’s face turned pale immediately. “How… how could this be?”

Li Shaoling sneered. “If I’m not mistaken, the culprit told you to make your escape, and that she would handle your resignation processing?”

Jian Jie’s face turned even paler.

“The truth is that she had no intention of helping you, because she could still use you as her last shield. After all, she knew that the money she gave you is enough to make you sacrifice your own life for her willingly.”

Jian Jie froze entirely with a look full of disbelief.

Now, Li Shaoling walked up to her nonchalantly, not hiding his sneer at all. “She used your folly as her weapon, knowing that even when the time comes, you would still be thankful for her—thankful that she helped you in your most difficult moment. And when it’s all over, she’ll enjoy the rewards, while you… remain the unwanted bag of trash you are, a dumped chess piece.”

Although his words were ever indifferent, it hit Jian Jie with utmost precision where it hurts.

Boom—

The thunder signaling a storm rumbled overhead as the skies darkened. Lightning streaked through the horizons, illuminating the growing paleness on Jian Jie’s face.

She was crossing her fingers, her once determined look now completely collapsed.

She took a deep breath, her mouth twitching.

But just as she was about to relent and confess, when the words were about to leave her mouth, her phone rang suddenly, jolting her.

She fumbled for her phone with shaking fingers, her face changing the moment she saw her screen and quickly received the call with her back to them.

“What is it?”

“Okay… I-I go it.”

When she hung up, Jian Jie turned to look at Ji Weixi.

Her gaze was different from before, and seemed to hold many words.

When Ji Weixi was about to walk about to her, bean-sized raindrops abruptly started splashing down. It felt icy to the touch, and stopped her in her tracks.

And when she had her head lowered, a van had suddenly dashed up and braked just in front of them.

Jian Jie hurried away and got inside.
