Liu Yingzhen went directly to the middle box on the third floor through the bar's VIP channel. As soon as she entered, she was choked by the smell of cigarettes and alcohol in the room.

She frowned slightly in disdain, then looked at the person who was drinking alone at the bar at the back, and then walked in.

Bai Yi took out the last cigarette from the box and just as he was about to light it, it was taken away by someone.

She glanced over and saw her friend's unhappy expression, so she asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, but you look half dead all day long. What's going on? Are you planning to overdraw your body in this way, and then invite Ning Yuechen to attend your funeral?" Liu Yingzhen complained mercilessly.

Bai Yi didn't say anything, just poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Yingzhen knew that she could only numb her nerves in this way, so she changed the subject: "I heard that President Wen invited you to dinner. What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything. He just showed me a few new project contracts with good prospects and potential for cooperation. He also returned the 20% of the shares of Zanghai Group in full, stopped the acquisition, and all the previously signed contracts were invalidated."

Hearing this, Liu Yingzhen hummed and said, "Being born into a good family is also a kind of asset. Wen Yiqian, that little girl, was able to stir up trouble for your Bai Group just because of her righteousness, and almost got into trouble. In the end, she didn't even have to apologize. Her mother just threw out a few new projects to settle everything."

She changed the subject: "But this can be considered a blessing in disguise. Now you are the largest shareholder of Zanghai Group and the only decision maker. Otherwise, according to the previous plan, you would have to find a way to convince Shen Jing to accept the fact that the company was merged, which would be troublesome."

Bai Yi didn't answer her. He took the remaining half bottle of wine on the table and drank it directly.

Liu Yingzhen couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her on the back: "You drunkard, do you want to keep your stomach? The company crisis has just been resolved and you're in the hospital again. It's really annoying."

"No, after today everything will be fine."

"What do you mean? You came out so soon?"

"Does it matter?"

Bai Yi looked indifferently at the empty bottles piled on the bar, and said in a grim tone: "Everything is over, and it's time to settle the accounts."

"You haven't taken any action since you dealt with the mess at the company. You've been drinking at my place every day. I thought you were really in love with me and were planning to let Ning Yuechen go."

"how is this possible?"

Bai Yi sneered: "Even if I go to hell, I will drag her with me. How can I let her get out of this scam safely?"

Liu Yingzhen glanced at her and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I want her to pay me back a hundred times for the suffering and pain I've been going through during this period."

"But I advise you to leave some wiggle room for yourself, unless you really don't plan to have a future with her. As for that summer, I advise you to take it easy."

"midsummer?"

Bai Yi frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are you talking about Ning Yuechen's previous blind date? Haven't they been in touch for a long time? How could you..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw her friend looking at her in surprise. She instantly guessed something and her face became even gloomier.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard my friend's gossiping tone: "It's still a blind date. I always thought it was a new girlfriend who was hiding from you. After all, the two of them checked into a hotel."

Bai Yi couldn't believe what he heard. At that moment, he felt dizzy and nauseous. He supported himself and asked, "What?"

Liu Yingzhen took out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them on the table: "I knew from the beginning that Ning Yuechen's motives for being with you were not pure. I saw through the clumsy alienation tactics at a glance. Only you were blinded by love and beauty and only cared about her."

"After we reconciled, I asked a private investigator to keep an eye on her movements. These photos were sent back by them, saying that the two of them were indeed in the same room for a few days."

Bai Yi took the photo and the first one she saw was the scene of the two of them walking out of the hotel in an intimate manner. Her eyes stayed on Sheng Xia's intimate arm around Ning Yuechen's arm. After a few seconds, she continued to look at the second photo.

Almost every photo showed the two of them behaving intimately, with the hotel as the background. After seeing the last photo, Bai Yi threw the photo in his hand away and closed his eyes. He couldn't suppress the rage in his heart after all, and he waved his hand to knock over a pile of wine bottles on the bar.

Her eyes were red, and she took a few quick breaths before she managed to calm the suffocating pain in her chest. She whispered word by word, like a curse from a whisper: "Ning Yuechen, you shouldn't do this to me."

--------

Ning Yuechen had been waiting for Bai Yi's revenge with a fearless attitude, but he didn't expect that a month had passed and not only was the Bai Group calm, but even the chairman who was supposed to take action had gone against his usual practice and did nothing.

This was what made her feel even more uneasy.

The calmer Bai Yi was, the more ruthless he would become when he went crazy. She had experienced this herself, so she couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

Ning Yuechen walked into the hotel room. When Bai Yi returned to China, she followed him back. Because she knew that after this person dealt with the company crisis, the next step would be to settle accounts with her, so she couldn't stay in Country M.

Because Aunt Shi was there.

Although Bai Yi and Shi Yu have not been in contact with each other over the years, they have been living in peace. With Bai Jingyuan balancing them, even if this person wants to take revenge, he will only direct all the spearheads at himself.

When Ning Yuechen was thinking about what to do next, she heard a knock on the door. She immediately put herself on full alert and walked towards the door step by step. After seeing someone outside through the peephole, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

"Shengxia, why are you here?"

Shengxia looked at her with bright eyes, then raised her hand and shook the two cups of milk tea in her hand: "I just happened to pass by here, so I came to see if you were still here."

Ning Yuechen knew that there would be no good results next, and he didn't want to implicate her, so he just said, "I'm leaving today and going abroad. Don't keep thinking about contacting me. You know, we shouldn't have any intersection anymore."

"I know you have someone you like, and you always want to keep your distance from me, but you also said that you will be leaving soon. We are friends, so let's treat today as our last reunion before we part." Shengxia said, suppressing the disappointment in her heart.

Since she said so, Ning Yuechen naturally couldn't show a cold face anymore, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."

Shengxia immediately cheered up: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll order some takeout."

"Okay, thank you."

Ning Yuechen felt a little tired. She had been busy outside these days inquiring about the latest developments of the Bai Group and had not had a good rest. Now that she had relaxed a little, she just wanted to take a bath to relieve her fatigue.

So he said, "You sit down first, I'll go take a bath."

"Okay, go ahead."

Forty minutes later, Ning Yuechen came out wrapped in a bath towel. There was no one in the bedroom. She leaned out to look at the living room outside and saw someone who had taken off his coat and was wearing thin clothes, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and playing with his phone. She smiled and walked into the room.

She had just sat down in front of the dressing table when she heard the doorbell. Thinking that the takeaway had arrived, she didn't think much about it and took out the hair dryer to start blow-drying her hair.

After just a while, he felt someone standing at the door. He thought it was Shengxia calling him to eat, so he turned off the hair dryer and looked over. The words he wanted to say stopped abruptly after he saw the person clearly, and his face was so pale that it was bloodless.

Bai Yi?!
