Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 125 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (38)

Lin Xi looked at her as if she were a madman, and silently called out to the system in her heart, "System, system, are you sure that the one with mental problems is Ye Zhenqi and not Lin Yurou?"

"Of course!" the system answered decisively, "Ye Zhenqi's diagnosis is still locked in Mr. Ye's drawer."

"Do you know what you are saying?" Lin Xi looked at Lin Yurou with a face full of black question marks.

"Of course, don't act crazy there. I think Ye Huai is very good to you. Go and tell him, he will definitely listen to you." Lin Yurou stopped pretending and drank the milk in her hand, saying in a domineering tone.

"Who are you to ask me to do something?" Lin Xi almost laughed out of anger at her self-righteous attitude.

"Because I am your mother, and Ah Wei is your brother, you are a burden without any foundation. When you get married in the future, you will still have to rely on your brother to support you. What do you think Ye Huai..."

Bang! Before she finished, Lin Xi slammed the door shut. If Lin Yurou hadn't dodged quickly, she would have almost hit her nose. She touched her face with lingering fear and was about to curse, but suddenly a voice interrupted her action.

"Madam, Master Awei is looking for you." The maid's timid figure appeared not far away.

Lin Yurou glared at her hatefully, but it was not appropriate for her to yell in front of the servants, so she had to follow her downstairs.

In the room, Lin Xi asked the system with a frown on her face, "System, are you sure this is a story about a domineering CEO and not a story about a village girl fighting against her best relatives? Why did Lin Yurou suddenly become so weird?"

The system was also stumped by the question. With its artificially retarded chip brain, it could not understand the diversity of the human world. So after silently checking the data and confirming that there were no abnormalities, it tentatively gave a conclusion, "Perhaps she was stimulated by the arrangements in Mr. Ye's will?"

Lin Xi didn't expect it to give an accurate answer. After calming down, she began to think again. Although she decisively rejected Lin Yurou's weird request, with her greedy character, she would definitely not give up. It seemed that she still had to be on guard against her.

Sure enough, the whole next day, Lin Yurou was trying to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Xi alone again, but Lin Xi didn't want to pay attention to her at all. She just stuck to Ye Huai or talked to Old Man Ye. Until after dinner, she and Ye Huai drove away without giving Lin Yurou another chance.

On the way back, Lin Xi told Ye Huai about Lin Yurou's plan, and Ye Huai's face turned black. "She has a big appetite. Uncle didn't say anything, but she has a clear plan."

"She will definitely not give up, so you better be careful." Lin Xi said with some worry.

"Don't worry, grandpa is still here, she can't cause any trouble. Besides, I've been in the Ye family for so many years, it's not easy for me to be plotted against." Ye Huai squeezed her hand and comforted her.

Lin Xi felt relieved and was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, but suddenly she heard a system prompt in her mind, "Ding Dong, the second male lead's fate deviation value increased by 10%. The current total fate deviation value is 80%."

Lin Xi was slightly startled, and for a moment she couldn't react to where Ye Huai's sudden increase in destiny deviation value came from. "Could it be because I told Ye Huai about Lin Yurou's plan..." Lin Xi muttered to herself.

"What?" Ye Huai was concentrating on driving. When he heard Lin Xi's whisper, he thought she was talking to him and asked softly.

"It's okay." Lin Xi looked at Ye Huai's profile and shook her head gently, but in a flash, she seemed to suddenly grasp the key to the matter and hurriedly began to summon the system in her mind.

"System, in the original plot, after Ye Huai passed away, who took over the Ye Group?"

The part about Ye Huai in the original plot came to an abrupt end after his funeral, and there was no mention of who the huge Ye family ended up in.

If we infer according to common sense, Mr. Ye is old and has experienced the tragedy of losing his loved ones, so he probably won't be able to hold on for a few more years. Then the only one left to take over Ye's is Ye Zhenkai. But based on her understanding of Ye Zhenkai and the few times she met him, he has mediocre abilities and is not an ambitious person. Combined with his love-brained behaviors towards Lin Yurou, it is likely that Ye's will eventually fall into the hands of Lin Yurou and Ye Wei, mother and son.

Sure enough, the system's answer confirmed her guess at this time, "Host, according to the few words spoken by the male and female protagonists after their marriage in the original plot, the final owner of Ye's should be Ye Wei, but Ye's declared bankruptcy not long after."

"Heh." Lin Xi sneered in her heart. With Ye Wei's strong limbs and simple mind, she was not surprised at all about the final bankruptcy of Ye's.

Recalling Lin Yurou's self-righteous attitude last night, and combining it with the sudden increase in her destiny deviation value after she and Ye Huai told them to be more wary of her, Lin Xi had a vague guess in her mind.

I'm afraid that the reason for Ye Huai's final death, in addition to the death of the heroine, the company and Ye Zhenqi, was probably also due to Lin Yurou's interference. After all, if Ye Huai didn't die, she would not be able to take control of the Ye family even if she waited for a few more decades.

As for how she did it, it was nothing more than fighting for power within the company, or secretly attacking Ye Huai's body. If she was even more cruel, she could directly attack Ye Zhenqi and constantly provoke her. With Ye Zhenqi's current mental state, it was only a matter of time before she committed suicide after being provoked by her.

Considering how much Ye Huai cares about his mother, after suffering multiple blows, his ending seems to have only one obvious answer. Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but breathe faster.

"What's wrong?" Ye Huai quickly noticed that something was wrong with her mood. He was always extremely sensitive to the details of Lin Xi. He quickly parked the car in a safe place, took Lin Xi's somewhat cold hand, held it in his own, and asked.

Feeling the warmth on her fingertips, Lin Xi finally calmed down and interlocked her fingers with him. "Ahuai, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, don't give up your life, okay?"

Looking at her extremely serious eyes and feeling the strength of her fingers tightening, Ye Huai was a little confused as to why Lin Xi suddenly said this, but he held her tightly back with an extremely firm expression on his face, "Xixi, I promise you, we still have a long life together, I can't bear to leave."

"Yeah! We'll always be together."

Time passed quickly, and the lively Spring Festival was over in the blink of an eye. Lin Xi and Ye Huai stayed together throughout the entire New Year period and did not go anywhere except returning to the old house.

She originally thought that Lin Yurou would do something weird again, but she didn't expect that she had been quiet since that day, so Lin Xi gradually put her aside.

New Year, new atmosphere. Ye's has opened a new design department, which is still short of a leading designer. Lin Xi knows that although Ye Huai does have considerations for the future development of the company, it is mainly for her. Therefore, considering the subsequent development of the plot and in order not to disappoint Ye Huai's kindness, after the Lantern Festival, when everyone started to resume work, Lin Xi formally submitted her resignation to Yue Chen.

At the entrance of the studio, Lin Xi declined Yue Chen's request to help carry things, and walked out with him. Yue Chen looked conflicted and reluctant, trying to persuade Lin Xi to stay, "You are doing well, aren't you? Why do you suddenly want to quit?"

"Thank you for your care over the past six months, I am very happy here. However, I have a new job later, so..." Lin Xi shook her head slightly and politely declined Yue Chen's request to stay.

"What new job? They poached people from here. I'll pay them double or triple the salary they offer you." Yue Chen was anxious and wanted to pull out the company that poached his employees and give them a good scolding.

"I'm afraid it's not very convenient." Lin Xi was about to speak when a cold voice suddenly came into their ears.

The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a slender figure slowly walking towards them not far away. Yue Chen took a closer look, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he could not help but twitching his mouth, and his face darkened. He felt his right hand begin to ache slightly.

"A Huai." Seeing the person coming, Lin Xi showed a happy expression on her face. She trotted forward two steps and walked to Ye Huai's side.

Ye Huai took the things from her with one hand, and naturally took Lin Xi's hand with the other hand, with a gentle smile on his face, "Are you hungry? I have reserved a table, and we will eat outside today."

"Why do you suddenly want to eat out?" Lin Xi nodded, but was a little confused.

"Designer Lin has finally agreed to come to our Ye's. Shouldn't we celebrate?" Ye Huai looked natural, but he glanced at Yue Chen who was standing beside him as if unintentionally.

"That's true." Lin Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Hearing that Lin Xi went to Ye's, Yue Chen couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. How could a behemoth like Ye's be compared to his own studio which had only been established for a few years? And seeing the two of them holding hands and showing their affection as if no one was around, there was nothing he couldn't understand. He immediately didn't want to make himself look bad, so he hurriedly said goodbye to them and left in a daze.

Seeing the annoying person walk away, Ye Huai secretly curled the corners of his lips, happily pulled Lin Xi into the car, and drove directly to the largest restaurant in H City.

Lin Xi originally thought that Ye Huaiding was seated in a private room. After all, he was not one who liked crowds, and the two of them always chose quiet places for their dates. However, the waiter led them to the center of the lobby. It was dinner time, and the lobby was already full of people, making it quite noisy.

"It's a little late to reserve a seat, and this is the only one left." Perhaps seeing Lin Xi's confusion, Ye Huai coughed and explained to her in a low voice.

"It's okay. We haven't eaten out for a long time, so the lobby is lively." Lin Xi shook her head. She didn't mind at all. Instead, she spoke to comfort Ye Huai in a considerate manner.

Ye Huai then breathed a sigh of relief, considerately pulled out a seat for her to sit down, and ordered the dishes that Lin Xi liked. The two of them ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere. Unexpectedly, when they were halfway through the meal, Ye Huai's cell phone suddenly rang.

"What? Okay, I'll be there right away." Ye Huai answered the phone, looking a little conflicted, but after thinking for a moment he looked at Lin Xi apologetically, "It's a company matter, I may have to go."

Although Lin Xi felt a little strange in her heart, after all, Ye Huai never answered work calls after get off work. However, seeing his slightly anxious expression, she still smiled and said to Ye Huai: "You go ahead and do your work. I can take a taxi back later."

Ye Huai looked guilty, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and then gently reminded her, "I ordered a cake for you, it's your favorite flavor, eat it and then go back."

"Okay, drive slowly on the road." Lin Xi nodded, and Ye Huai hurried out of the restaurant.

Lin Xi watched his figure disappear, then withdrew her gaze, thinking that the cake of this restaurant was indeed good, so she was not in a hurry to leave. She sat in her seat waiting for her dessert boredly. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she didn't get any cake, but got a little girl holding flowers.

The little girl was dressed very cutely, holding a pink rose with water droplets in her hand. She skipped to Lin Xi's front, and before Lin Xi could fully react, she quickly stuffed the rose into her hand, then covered her mouth with her hands, smiled, turned around and ran away.

Lin Xi looked at the extra rose in her hand and was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, she was about to call her out, but the next second, another flower was stuffed into her arms. Then, the hall, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet, and the lights turned into an ambiguous warm yellow.

Lin Xi stood up and looked around in a daze. She saw that the guests who were originally sitting and eating had stood up at some point. Each of them was holding a beautiful rose in their hands. They walked towards her with a smile on their faces and handed the roses in their hands to Lin Xi in an orderly manner.

Soon, Lin Xi's arms were filled with a bunch of brightly colored roses. The rich fragrance lingered around her nose, making her feel dazed for a moment. The next second, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, and she slowly turned around and looked in the direction where Ye Huai had just left, as if she had sensed something.

I saw a tall figure slowly walking towards me under the warm yellow light. In his arms was a bunch of pink roses exactly like mine. The tender flowers, under the warm yellow light, stained his cold face with a bit of crimson. His eyebrows were gentle, with a smile on the corners of his lips. He walked slowly but firmly to Lin Xi step by step, knelt on one knee, and his tone seemed to be full of infinite tenderness. "Xixi, are you willing to spend your life with me?"
