It started with being betrayed by my ex-boyfriend

Chapter 221 A Different Brain Circuit

"Yunxi's mother's reaction seems a bit strange." Jin Yunlu said.

"Yes, she was very surprised when she saw that Yunxi's godfather was Mr. Murong. That expression was definitely not because she was shocked that her daughter had married someone else, but because she not only knew that family, but also..." Tao Jingying said, her brows gradually frowned.

"I know him!" Jin Yunlu continued.

It was rare for the two of them to have such tacit understanding, and they nodded at the same time.

Bai Yunxi had already returned after showing Ning Hongyu the gifts. Jin Yunlu and Tao Jingying both shut their mouths tacitly, as if they had seen or heard nothing. They just stood there and smiled slightly.

Everything was peaceful and calm on their side, but the air in the conference room of Ji's headquarters building was extremely cold.

Ever since their president Ji Hanmo suddenly ended his trip to the Jiangnan branch and returned to City A without a word, he summoned all the middle and senior management personnel of the headquarters that night and held a meeting that lasted the entire night!

The situation was out of control. They were bombarded with rounds of meetings and new work arrangements. All the middle and senior management were exhausted, but no one dared to say a word.

Because everyone could see that their CEO had a frost-covered face and exuded a cold aura, as if he had just walked out of an ice cellar that had not melted for thousands of years!

Not to mention that these middle and senior management didn't dare to complain, even the cleaners passing by the meeting room were very cautious, for fear that the slightest movement would accidentally annoy Ji Hanmo and they would be kicked out of Ji's company in an instant!

You know, if you can work at Ji's, even if you are just a cleaner, your salary is twice as high as that of white-collar employees in other small companies outside!

And now, a project manager who was called by Ji Hanmo was so scared that he looked like his mother had died and his legs were shaking so much that he couldn't even stand steadily!

Ji Hanmo looked at him coldly, tapping his fingers on the folder on the desktop.

"I asked you to give me a new plan, but you just changed the original one and gave it to me? Is this how you usually deal with me?!"

The project manager quickly replied: "President, I...I..."

God knows! Ji Hanmo asked him to come up with a new plan within three hours. This was simply asking for his life! It turned out that the plan was the result of three days of work by ten people, okay?! He couldn't overturn it and come up with a completely different plan in such a short time, even if he was killed!

But...but he only dared to complain about this in his heart, and he wouldn't dare say it out loud even if he was beaten to death!

Of course he knew that the slightest error at this moment would likely provoke Ji Hanmo's tremendous anger!

"What?" Ji Hanmo raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth and looked at him expressionlessly.

The project manager was sweating profusely. Their president was always quite strict, but it wasn't often that he was looking for trouble like he was today. Whenever this happened, someone had to take the blame and let him vent his anger before the matter was over!

Sweat was pouring down his head and face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

Oh my God, he has elderly parents and young children to take care of, please don’t let him be the unlucky one today!

Seeing that he was just shivering and not saying anything, Ji Hanmo's patience quickly ran out, and he kicked the chair next to him far away!

"Why aren't you talking? Aren't you all usually pretty arrogant?!"

Ji Hanmo glanced at the middle and senior management who were silent in the conference room, and his anger was hard to dissipate!

Haha, a manager of a branch company dared to transfer Ji’s engineering team behind his back, putting him in such a passive position!

Is it because he has been so nice to them recently that they have all forgotten who they are?!

Suddenly, there was a sound of dripping water, and a strange smell immediately filled the conference room.

Li Ling, who had been standing aside like a background figure, suddenly changed his expression and waved his hand, saying, "Someone, take him out!"

Only then did everyone see that the project manager's feet were wet!

Ji Hanmo frowned and instantly became furious: "Get out of here!"

Damn it! It would be fine if she didn't do the job well, but she actually did it in front of him...

Li Ling shook his head helplessly: "CEO, why don't we go back to the office first."

Ji Hanmo, who already has mysophobia and whose rage factor has been rising sharply recently, is afraid that this place is no longer suitable for him to stay!

Ji Hanmo's face turned pale. He stood up and kicked again, kicking the stool he had just been sitting on away.

His cell phone rang at this moment.

It’s the sound of a micro chat reminder.

He was about to leave when he paused. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed.

--A photo appeared on his WeChat chat. Bai Yunxi was sitting on the sofa with half of her body lying in Ning Hongyu's arms. Her hand was subconsciously stroking her belly with a relieved smile on her face.

He stared blankly at the pregnant woman on the phone, not moving for a long time.

"President?"

Ji Hanmo tightened his grip on the phone, cleared his throat and said seriously, "Well, let's take a break first. You've all worked hard."

After saying that, he walked out directly.

The middle and senior executives in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. What happened to their CEO? Wasn't it dark clouds over the city? Just now, it looked like a storm was coming, but he just glanced at his phone, and how come it suddenly... cloudy and sunny? !

The tone of the president when he left just now, did he mean he was not going to pursue them? !

Li Ling looked at everyone who were confused speechlessly, spread his hands, and quickly followed them out.

He heard Ji Hanmo holding up his phone and looking at it again and again as he walked, mumbling with relief: "She's fine, that's good..."

Li Ling understood it instantly.

Tsk tsk, there is indeed only one person who can make Ji Hanmo put away his overwhelming anger in an instant and even his expression suddenly change.

……

Ning Hongyu chatted with Bai Yunxi for a long time before she suddenly patted her head and said, "Look at me, I'm just too happy. I have to go out and buy some food. You two kids are also going to eat here tonight!"

Jin Yunlu and Tao Jingying laughed together, and Jin Yunlu said directly: "Auntie, we just want to have a meal here before we leave!"

Tao Jingying also nodded vigorously. After Tao Jingchen took Bai Yunxi to Jiangnan, she stayed alone in City A to handle all the affairs of the Tao family here, including all matters of cooperation between the Ji and Tao families. She was so busy for such a long time that she had to eat all her meals at the company. She had little time to go home, let alone have a good home-cooked meal!

She absolutely cannot miss such a good opportunity!

"Let's go shopping together!" she suggested.

The other people didn't think anything was wrong, only Ning Hongyu shook her head and said, "How can that be? How can we let guests go out to buy food?! You just sit at home and rest, I'll be back soon."

Bai Yunxi smiled and said, "Mom, they are both my good friends, you don't have to be polite with them."

"Yes, yes!" The two nodded immediately and said, "Just treat us like your daughters!"

They were still chatting and laughing here, but 119 kept looking towards the door with a strange expression on her face, until she heard the car stop downstairs and the sound of someone getting out and going upstairs, then she obediently continued to do her work.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Ning Hongyu went to open the door first and was immediately startled.

I saw a large group of people standing in the stairwell at the entrance. Those who couldn't stand there even lined up along the corridor to the floor below.

Everyone was carrying a lot of things in their hands.

"Hello, Madam Ning! Hello, Young Madam! Hello, Mr. Jin! Hello, Miss Tao!" When Bai Yunxi, Jin Yunlu and Tao Jingying heard Ning Hongyu's surprised voice and ran over to see what was going on, the group of people had already greeted everyone one by one in a very orderly manner.

With this way of addressing them, everyone knows who sent these people without asking.

"You guys..." Ning Hongyu naturally turned around and looked at Bai Yunxi, but Bai Yunxi himself was already confused. What on earth... did this mean?

"The president knows that the young mistress has invited President Jin and Miss Tao to Madam Ning's home today, so he asked us to buy some dishes and send them over. He also asked the chef to prepare some special dishes and drinks to entertain you!" The person in the lead was the little assistant who had helped Bai Yunxi before. He spoke to everyone very respectfully and seriously.

Ning Hongyu was overjoyed: "Han Mo is so thoughtful! I was just wondering what dishes to buy to entertain these distinguished guests!"

As she said that, she quickly made way and let those people deliver all the things.

Bai Yunxi was speechless because what they sent was not only dishes and drinks, but also the pots and seasonings needed for cooking, as well as small appliances like blenders and electric ovens. Ning Hongyu's kitchen was filled up in an instant!

Jin Yunlu shook his head and said helplessly: "This scene is so familiar!"

At the beginning, Bai Yunxi was so angry at Song Feier's trick of tripping Ji Hanmo up at the resort that she "ran away from home" and temporarily lived in Jin Yunlu's house. Ji Hanmo almost bought her the entire household belongings just like now!

At the end of the line were two chefs.

"We are stationed at Madam Ning's house under the order of the president. From today on, we will serve Madam Ning and the young mistress. We, Cheng, will be responsible for the young mistress's special diet. If you need anything, please let me know!"

Bai Yunxi didn't know what to say. She and Ji Hanmo had gotten into that situation in front of so many people that day. She didn't know how to face him.

But looking at Ji Hanmo's expression, could he actually pretend that nothing had happened?

Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?!

This person's train of thought is really...

It seems that she still doesn't know him well enough!

After the others had given their instructions, they left in an orderly manner, leaving only the two chefs who actually stayed in Ning Hongyu's kitchen and quickly started cooking the dishes.

119 first poured Bai Yunxi a glass of milk that they had brought. Bai Yunxi only took a small sip and then sighed softly.

It’s still the same taste, it hasn’t changed at all!

Ning Hongyu didn't know about Bai Yunxi and the Ji family, and Bai Yunxi didn't intend to let her know.

Her mother has worked hard for most of her life, and she doesn't want her mother to worry about her anymore.

She didn't intend to say it, and Jin Yunlu and Tao Jingying certainly wouldn't say it either.

So they did not stop Ji Hanmo from showing his courtesy under remote control, and this little episode naturally did not affect the overall atmosphere.

At the dinner table, Bai Yunxi told Ning Hongyu in detail how she met Ran Jun, then met Ran Yiyun, and later went to Jiangnan, became the goddaughter of Murong's parents, and indirectly helped the village.

Of course, she had concealed her affairs with the Ji family, and she had also concealed all the difficulties Yang Qiurong had put on her. So she made up another reason for being forced to go to Jiangnan. Ning Hongyu hadn't noticed anything at all, she was just shocked by Murong Yuhan's legendary story.

"There is actually such a wonderful woman in this world!" She looked at Bai Yunxi and suddenly asked, "Did the Murong family let you into their ancestral hall?"

"Yes." Bai Yunxi nodded, and suddenly felt a little strange. Did she just mention that Murong Xiang took her to the Murong family ancestral hall?

Why does she seem to have trouble remembering?

Tao Jingying said in amazement: "I also said that when I saw Yunxi today, I felt that she was different. It turns out that after becoming the adopted daughter of the Murong family, she was immersed in the Murong family's profound traditional culture, and her temperament became calm and graceful."

Not only that, she also absorbed Murong Yuhan's bravery and courage, and her expression became firm.

This is a new growth that is completely incomparable to her previous one!

"How about you, Mom?" After talking about her own affairs, Bai Yunxi asked about Ning Hongyu.

During that time, my mother went out to work and became a lot more cheerful, but the change was far less rapid than in recent times!

Ning Hongyu smiled sheepishly and said, "I accepted my friend's advice some time ago, turned off my phone, left everything behind, and went on a spontaneous trip. So, Yunxi, you experienced such an important thing in your life, but I didn't know about it at all. I am such a selfish mother, and I am really incompetent."

"Mom, why do you say that?! My biggest wish is that you can live the rest of your life according to your own wishes. You can walk out of the shadow cast by the Bai family and live out your own life. I am really happy for you. Besides, you sent me a message before you left, and I already know where you were going. That's all." Bai Yunxi said.

Tsk tsk, Jin Yunlu and Tao Jingying looked at each other and nodded secretly. They had witnessed Bai Yunxi's growth and changes step by step. Those blows and hardships did not defeat her, but instead prompted her to grow up quickly, becoming more mature and more responsible.

"Is there a photographer traveling with you? The scenery along the way should be very nice, right?" Jin Yunlu followed her words to distract Ning Hongyu's attention.
