Chapter 725 – The Fall

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

That mocking line of sight and the cold and absolute back made Xia Feiqing’s chest sting, and surprisingly, there was some hidden pain.
He stepped forward and just yanked on her arm. Damn! She had really lost a lot of weight, and an arm didn’t even have much presence in his hand!
“What are you doing? Let go!” Living as if he were a germ, she shook it off in disgust and took two steps back.
That look as well as her every move clearly and unambiguously highlighted her resistance, his eyes were cloudy, and he yanked her down even harder. This time, it was as if he was going to crush her whole person, he was not the least bit compassionate.
Not giving her room to speak, he directly shoved the card into her collar and stuck it in her voluptuous chest. The movement was flirty, and the eyes looking at her were full of humiliation, “Hold it right there!”
“It’s better to settle things with money between us from the start, so that we don’t have to get into any unnecessary encounters in the future because of this. And I don’t want you to beg me for alimony one day when you’re starving to death!”
His words are like needles, and his sentences are barbed.
After saying that, he even pushed her away nonchalantly, “In the future, don’t appear in front of me again!”
He really didn’t want to see her again! Not even for a single glance!
Because, her appearance made his heart … very confused!
Zhao Lanlan’s eyes reddened indisputably, but she didn’t allow herself to shed a single tear. In front of him, she pulled the card out from her chest. Holding both ends of the card in each hand, she tensed it with force. In his astonished sight, only to hear a “bang–” sound, the bank card should be broken.
Xia Feiqing’s breathing was heavy, and the eyes looked like they wanted to swallow her up.
She was full of stubbornness and threw the card heavily into the trash can, “Mr. Xia, in the future, please don’t use this lame excuse to stand in such a place and wait for me! I don’t really want to look at you more than once, and I don’t care about your money!”
With those words, she had turned around and left without the slightest bit of lingering.
Xia Feiqing was countered and froze for a while before turning back and pounding the car body in chagrin. It is really damned! Last night, Pei Yajun explained that he would leave her to her own devices, but today, he actually did such a stupid thing! Moreover, he was humiliated by her in turn!
That’s really enough!
Back at the company, Zhao Lanlan’s face was still pale.
Because of that episode with Xia Feiqing, her entire being became terrified. She was suddenly glad that she was thin at the moment, at least she couldn’t see her stomach yet. However, in the future …
In the future, if she gained weight and her belly bulged out, how would she explain if she met him?
He hated her so much he would have seized her to get rid of the baby.
The mere thought of it terrified her.
It was hard to make it to the end of the day and get back to the 40-square-foot home. When I knocked on the door, no one answered.
Hope’s not here?
She took the key and unscrewed the door, and sure enough, there was no sign of Hope in the cramped room. She called Hope Cho’s phone and there was never an answer.
Probably out looking for a job!
Zhao Lanlan didn’t chase the phone anymore and just went to the kitchen to cook for her.
For cooking, she wasn’t completely unfamiliar. She had done it for Joey Xu a long time ago, and then later … had done it for Xia Feiqing a few times …
It’s the first couple months.
When he caught a cold, it happened to coincide with the fact that all the servants in the house were away, so she had to take care of him. She remembered that at that time watching Xia Feiqing drinking the porridge she boiled and eating the vegetarian dishes she made, she would actually have an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and stability …
Just thinking about it now makes me feel so stupid at that time. How could you not keep your heart close?
While washing the dishes, the water dripped onto the wound on her finger and it hurt a little. She just continued as if she didn’t feel it.
When she started cooking, she smelled the fumes and ran to the restroom to throw up. However, thinking that Hope would have to come back later to eat hot food, she had to put on a mask and cover herself hard to hold back the nausea.
It was hard to cook three dishes, but I had no appetite at all. Just ate an apple and sat on the couch while watching TV and waiting for Hope to come back.
As she waited, she actually fell asleep on the couch askew.
Later …
***
She woke up hungry.
Looking around the room, the entire space was dark, with only a small dark glow spilling out from the very small television.
Hope’s not back yet?
“Hope?” She called out tentatively, but no voice answered her.
It’s after 10:00 now!
She grabbed her cell phone and was about to call her, but a call rushed in first. At a glance, it was actually from Zhao Yuanyuan.
She immediately picked up and asked, “Where are you? It’s so late, why are you still not back?”
After the words were asked, she realized that there was a lot of noise over there. Zhao Lanlan wrinkled her eyebrows, and then she heard Zhao Yuanyuan laughing over there in a delirious daze, “Sister, you’re coming to pick me up, okay?”
“You’ve been drinking?”
“Yeah … I’ve been drinking … sis, you’re coming to get me, you’re the only one left in the world … “She hemmed and hawed again, “You’re all that’s left of me, too … Brother-in-law … doesn’t want you either … ”
The hand holding the cell phone stiffens. She asked, “Where are you?”
“I’m at … hmmm? In FridayKTV.”
“Just wait for me there, don’t lose your cell phone, I’ll be right over for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lanlan didn’t care about anything else, and directly took the change for the taxi and hurried out the door.
FridayKTV, she’d been here a few times. Calling Zhao Yuan Yuan to ask for the box number, a boy answered the phone, gave the number, and she went in.
When you push the door, it’s pandemonium inside.
A bunch of rebellious teenage boys and girls were wooing inside, drinking, singing, guessing, and even kissing passionately on the spot, the whole scene was incredibly chaotic.
Zhao Lanlan was now a pregnant woman, such an environment was really not suitable. She looked around the room and quickly looked for Zhao Yuanyuan’s trail, without looking, the whole thing was shocked.
Only to see Zhao Yuanyuan whole being pressed on the sofa by a teenager with dyed chestnut hair.
The two were tangled together liberally, the boy’s hands stroking up and down her body, and her legs were even coiled directly around the other woman’s waist.
Zhao Lanlan was a bit dizzy and more pained.
Her sister, who was falling day by day.
She quickly went in and, without saying anything, pushed the boy who was crouching over Jo Yuanyuan.
“Who are you?” The boy got upset when his good deed was interrupted and yelled.
When Zhao Yuanyuan saw that it was Zhao Lanlan, she smiled cheekily and wrapped her hands around her waist at once, “Sister, you came to pick me up …”
“Come back with me.” Zhao Lanlan helped Zhao Yuanyuan up.
She didn’t have any strength in her body at all and leaned helplessly on Zhao Lanlan. Zhao Lanlan carried her outside, and when she reached the door, the door of the box was closed from the inside with a ‘pop’.
She raised her eyes and saw the boy who had just ambled over to Jo Yuanyuan leaning gangly against the door, blocking their way.
