Depressed wife runs with the ball

My phone suddenly vibrated. It was Su Ying. She rarely came out during the day, so why would she call me? Thinking back to two days ago, when Zhou Xingzhi learned that I had entrusted her with the painting sale, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Yingying, what's wrong?"

"Yuer, Ji Yan is in trouble and is in the hospital. Come quickly." Su Ying was a little at a loss on the other end of the phone.

Chu Yue looked at Uncle Jia who was about to leave, quickly picked up her bag, and said to him, "Uncle Jia, Ji Yan is in the hospital."

"Why are we going to the hospital? Let me drive." Uncle Jia hurried to catch up.

At the hospital, Su Ying was waiting at the door of the orthopedics department while his current girlfriend accompanied him inside for treatment.

"What happened, Yingying?" Chu Yue saw that she looked haggard, probably because she hadn't rested after get off work.

"He called me early this morning and said he was injured in a car accident, so I sent him to the hospital." Su Ying was very worried and wanted to go in and ask about the situation, but she was afraid that his current girlfriend would think too much.

Chu Yue patted her, trying to reassure her. Uncle Jia also peeked into the department, looked at Chu Yue and asked, "Do you want to call his parents?"

"It should just be a fracture. Let's wait until he comes out. Yingying, I'll take you back to rest first. Uncle Jia, you stay here and call us if anything happens." Chu Yue asked him for the car keys.

Uncle Jia nodded and asked the two young men to go back first.

Seeing that Su Ying was in a low mood along the way, she didn't dare to ask too much.

"He came out of the emergency room and crashed into the railing on the side of the road. Yue'er, has anything happened at the office recently? I saw him hanging out at the bar these past few days, looking worried."

Su Ying suddenly spoke, as if she had just experienced a serious accident.

"There are some things, but they are not a big deal and won't make him so worried. But you make me very worried." Chu Yue looked at Su Ying, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What can happen to me?" Su Ying felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at her.

"Go back and rest first. If there's anything happening with Ji Yan, I'll call you."

Chu Yue didn't want to force her, but just guessed that these things were related to Zhou Xingzhi.

After sending Su Ying back to rest, he called Uncle Jia again and learned that Ji Yan would have to stay in the hospital for half a month, so he drove to the hospital.

He was awake, and his girlfriend, Xu Yuanxin, was taking care of him. He was sitting by the bed, crying, and Ji Yan was there to comfort him. Uncle Jia saw Chu Yue coming and said to her, "You stay here and watch. I'll go back to the office to take charge. We're all away today, so I'm afraid it won't work."

Chu Yue nodded and gave him the car keys. He knocked on the ward door. The two people inside looked up, and the little girl turned her back to wipe her tears.

"Yueyue." Ji Yan saw her coming and greeted her.

"Xinxin, I want to talk to Ji Yan. Can you come in later? Let's talk about work." Chu Yue said to his girlfriend.

"Well, Sister Yue, please try to persuade him. Brother Yan, I'll get you something to eat." Xu Yuanxin went out with her bag.

Chu Yue pulled a stool and sat beside the bed. He saw that his head was wrapped in gauze and his leg was in a cast. He was seriously injured.

"Tell me, why?" She had known this senior brother for nearly ten years, and this recklessness was unlike his usual behavior.

"I was just upset and wasn't paying attention while driving. It was an accident." Ji Yan had a terrible headache and didn't want to listen to her.

"Yingying will handle the police case for you. You haven't called your parents since the accident. Brother, did something happen to them too?"

In the past, he would call his parents every few days, especially Aunt Ji, to ask about his well-being and was particularly concerned about his girlfriend, but he has been quiet recently.

"Yueyue, I have a terrible headache right now. Please let me take a rest. I don't want to talk about this." Ji Yan just felt irritated.

"Is this really just an accident? If it's related to Zhou Xingzhi, then let me talk to him."

"Yueyue..." Ji Yan was shocked that she could guess that something happened to his parents in such a short time, and he was also shocked that she guessed that the matter was related to the Zhou family.

"I can't push you into danger. This is my family matter."

"Your family affairs? Senior Brother, if I'm not mistaken, has Yingying also encountered something? You kept it a secret from me just because you were afraid that I would meet Zhou Xingzhi?"

"Yueyue, I can only say that it might be related to the Zhou family. These things are all directed at me. Of course, they have nothing to do with you. You don't need to interfere."

Ji Yan was half sitting on the hospital bed. He thought he was capable of handling these things.

"That means it must be related to Xinghui. Zhou Xingzhi agreed not to acquire Qucho, and the reason was that I would be his special assistant at Xinghui for three years. If it's related to Xinghui, I'll keep an eye on it."

"Yueyue, Qucho's performance would be at least half less without you." Ji Yan's head hurt even more after hearing her say that.

"Brother, I can choose not to ask about my uncle and aunt's affairs, but I cannot ignore your affairs. We have known each other for nearly ten years, and I know your capabilities. These things cannot be solved with your current abilities, so I will go talk to Zhou Xingzhi." Chu Yue didn't know what the specific matter was, but he guessed that Uncle Ji might have been suspended or had a more serious problem, but it was just a guess.

The two were silent for a while, and Chu Yue stood up and said, "You have a good rest, I will do my best at the office."

After returning to the office, he called Su Ying and then found Uncle Jia to ask about Uncle Ji.

Uncle Jia only knew a rough idea. He said that he was taken away for investigation and had not been home for almost a week.

Chu Yue frowned. It had only been a week since she last had dinner with Zhou Xingzhi.

"Mr. Ji doesn't allow me to talk about it. After all, the matter has not been concluded yet." Uncle Jia has been living in fear these days.

"I understand." Chu Yue went back home, picked up the watch that Zhou Xingzhi had deliberately left at home, and ran downstairs to Xinghui to send a WeChat message to Jiang Tao.

[Secretary Jiang, your CEO Zhou left his watch here with me. Could you please come down and get it?]

[Hold on.]

Secretary Jiang replied quickly.

After sitting on the reception sofa in the lobby on the first floor for more than ten minutes, Secretary Jiang came downstairs to find her.

"Secretary Jiang, thank you for taking this trip. Please pass it on." Chu Yue handed him the small paper bag.

"Designer Chu, Mr. Zhou would like to invite you to his office. He is still in a meeting." Secretary Jiang took the paper bag.

"No, I have work to do."

Chu Yue came today just to return his watch. Before figuring out what happened, if he rashly negotiates with him, he probably won't have the initiative.

Secretary Jiang wanted to keep her, but she just left.

After the meeting, Zhou Xingzhi saw the watch and sighed helplessly. He didn't invite the person and lost the chance to speak.

"Zhou Jihuai is now interfering in a project of the firm?" Zhou Xingzhi played with the watch, unable to understand the purpose of this little girl coming to give him a watch today.

"President Ji Huai has some issues with Ji Guobang." Secretary Jiang placed the information he had found in front of him.

Zhou Xingzhi paused. Ji Guobang was Ji Yan's father. Was he here to deliver a watch for Ji Yan? His eyes darkened as he lowered his gaze to look at the document.

Chu Yue still had several unfinished design drafts for projects, and she had to work overtime to finish them. Sister Jianing also came to urge Mo Xiaoxiao and her team to prepare promotional materials for their drama.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when I got back to Cuiyuan after get off work. As soon as I stepped into the gate of the community, a Maybach across the street honked twice at the right time, scaring the old man from the security department and Chu Yue.

Chu Yue looked at the old man, pointed at the man in the car and said, "Uncle, don't let this man in from now on. He is a lunatic."

"Isn't he your boyfriend? If I don't let him in, he will complain to our fire department, and I won't be able to explain to the property management." The old man complained to her while leaning against the window.

Zhou Xingzhi got out of the car, crossed the road with his long legs, and greeted the old man familiarly. He put his arm around Chu Yue's shoulders and said, "Why didn't you answer my call? You came to give me a watch and asked your secretary to pass it on?"

Chu Yue frowned slightly, bent her body slightly, avoided his physical contact, turned around with her hands in her pockets, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, is there anything?"

"Of course there is something. It's late autumn and the dew is heavy. Let's talk about it when we get home." He didn't get angry. He just stood at the gate of the community and spoke to her face to face.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my home. It's very rude of you to trespass here. Besides, I've refused you many times." Chu Yue thought it through and decided to just go for broke.
