Chapter 17: Excessive Shock
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when Li Xiaoke arrived home, and she was afraid of waking up her parents, so she quietly opened the door and tiptoed into the house.
"Xiao Ke, why did you come back so late after working overtime? We're all worried about you, and we haven't slept well. Mom asked.
"Oh, Mom, the company is working overtime, Xia Yuqi drove me back, I'm fine, Mom, you can sleep well, I'm also tired, go back to the house to sleep."
Li Xiaoke was afraid that her mother would see her crying red and swollen eyes, so she quickly hid in her room, sat on the chair for a long time, looked at herself embarrassed in the mirror, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down again, she was afraid that her parents would hear her crying, so she quickly wiped her tears, washed her face, cleaned up and rested on the bed.
Frightened, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, she didn't understand why Ren Pingping couldn't get along with herself? Thinking about Xia Yuqi saving herself again and again, she asked herself: "Is it wrong to love someone?" "Maybe I was really wrong and fell in love with someone I shouldn't love? The more I think about it, the more I have a headache, and the more I think about it, the more my heart hurts. Emotional things are really inextricably linked, and they are still messy when they are cut and organized. Tears wet the pillow towel, and she felt a pang of despair......
Mom cooked early and called Li Xiaoke to get up and eat: "Xiaoke, get up and eat, it's time to go to work." β
"Oh, Mom, I worked late yesterday, and I took a vacation today, so you let me sleep a little longer, I don't want to have breakfast." Xiao Ke said lazily while lying on the bed.
"Okay, let's finish eating and sit in the pot, if it's cold, we'll warm it up later, and your dad and I have to go sell the goods." Mom said distressedly.
"Okay, I know Mom, I'll eat hot food myself when I'm hungry later, you and my dad can get busy." Li Xiaoke didn't open his eyes, put on the quilt after speaking, and continued to sleep.
Ren Pingping's arrangement of the kidnapping was successful, she smiled proudly, and thought: "Li Xiaoke, this time you know that I am powerful, dare to steal my limelight, and dare to rob my fiancΓ© with me, borrow your three guts, you have the ability to use it!" Ha ha! I, Ren Pingping, grew up, and there is nothing I want to get that I can't get. β
"Good morning, Miss Ren! Good morning, Miss Ren! The employees nodded and greeted Ren Pingping.
"Good morning! Good morning! Ren Pingping nodded with a smile. She felt that she was in a very comfortable mood today, and she finally couldn't see Li Xiaoke, out of sight and out of mind!
"Have you heard? Yesterday, Li Xiaoke was kidnapped, and Young Master Yuqi called the police. β
"Yes, what are you kidnapping Li Xiaoke for? Want money? Aren't they looking for the wrong person! β
"It doesn't seem to be asking for money, Li Xiaoke's parents are in a small business, how can they be rich?"
Everyone was talking, Ren Pingping pretended to be smiling, and also participated in the discussion: "Miss Li is okay, have the police caught someone?" β
"No, the bad guy ran away, it was Li Xiaoke who was saved by Young Master Xia."
"It's time to go to work, stop talking about it, and work hard!" Ren Pingping told the employees.
No one dared to talk about it anymore, and the employees picked up their work and got to work.
Ren Pingping smiled smugly, and thought: "Little vixen, don't dangle in front of me anymore, Xia Yuqi is really your savior!" But it doesn't matter, you still lose. β
Xia Yuqi also went to work, and the employees nodded to him to say good morning! He was in a very bad mood and felt that he was sorry for Li Xiaoke. didn't protect her thoroughly, he hated that he was born in a wealthy family, and he couldn't be an ordinary person. He had to take care of too much of everything, and in order to take care of the overall situation, he could only swallow his anger, and he felt guilty for a while.
"Knock knock...... Boom! "Vice President Xia, can I come in?" Ren Pingping knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in! Can I help you? Xia Yuqi didn't have a smile on her face.
"Vice President Xia, Li Xiaoke didn't come to work today? This is this month's company report, the performance is okay, and there is a plan report for the next month, please take a look. Ren Pingping reported on the work.
"Oh, leave this out, I'll see later. Li Xiaoke was frightened yesterday and couldn't come to work for the time being, so let's talk about it after a few days of rest, you should worry more about things at work. Xia Yuqi knew that Ren Pingping was the ghost, but she didn't dare to do anything to her.
"It's okay, I'm skilled in the company's business, don't worry, Brother Yuqi! The chairman said that I am your right-hand man, my father's company and our company are partners, we will be a family in the future, and our future is limitless! Ren Pingping deliberately said this, just to attract Xia Yuqi's attention, she wanted Xia Yuqi to look down on her.
Xia Yuqi felt a suffocation, he felt as if the woman in front of him had never known him, it was too terrifying. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, this woman was so vicious, how could Li Xiaoke be her opponent, he really sweated for Li Xiaoke.
"Miss Ren has a strong ability to work, I can rest assured about this, about Li Xiaoke's work, he said that he wanted to resign, and I agreed!" Xia Yuqi observed Ren Pingping's reaction.
Ren Pingping's heart blossomed, and he thought: "Finally, Li Xiaoke agreed to resign, which is great." But she couldn't seem too happy on the surface, so she said to Xia Yuqi hypocritically: "Vice President Xia, Li Xiaoke's resignation is a big loss for our company, the bidding plan won the bid, she was also promoted, and they are all on an equal footing with me, it's a pity, then I have nothing to do first, I have to be busy with work, Li Xiaoke doesn't come to work, I'm even busier." After speaking, he walked out of Xia Yuqi's office triumphantly.
Chairman Xia Mulin also heard about Li Xiaoke's kidnapping, he called Xia Yuqi to the office and asked Xia Yuqi: "Why was Li Xiaoke kidnapped?" Are people alright? β
Xia Yuqi replied: "The person is fine, fortunately, the rescue is timely." I don't know who kidnapped it, and the police haven't found out for the time being. Li Xiaoke was frightened and took a few days off before coming back to work. β
"Oh, it's okay if people are okay, let the police investigate well, who is so bold as to kidnap our company's employees. What is the purpose? Chairman Xia Mullin was a little angry.
"I know Dad, I still have something to do, let's go first." Xia Yuqi didn't dare to say more, he knew that talking too much would be troublesome. Because he knew Ren Pingping's position in his father's heart. He also knew that Ren Pingping was the eldest lady, the daughter of a rich family who would not give up until she reached her goal, and the master who could not be provoked.
Xia Yuqi was worried about Li Xiaoke's body, she was so frightened, she didn't know what was wrong with her, so she picked up the phone and called her: "Hey? Did Xiao Ke sleep well last night? β
Li Xiaoke picked up the phone in a daze: "Hey! I didn't sleep well last night, I had insomnia, and I was scared when I closed my eyes. I didn't eat in the morning, and I was about to go to sleep in a daze, and you called again. I'm fine, I'm just a little frightened. β
Xia Yuqi felt very sorry for her: "Hurry up and eat, and take some medicine to suppress the shock." I'll go see you after work and talk to me if you want something to eat. β
"I don't want to eat anything, I just feel tired, my limbs are weak, and I am sleepy." Li Xiaoke said listlessly.
"Then you have a good rest, see you later!"
