Chapter 2090: I’ll Accompany You

“Miss Ye, can I invite you to visit CEO Li?”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed coldly.

“I thought that after doing so much, he had gotten over it and let me off.”

Xiao Chu couldn’t help but swallow. The tall and handsome man’s eyes reddened in front of her.

“Yes, that’s what CEO Li thinks. It’s been more than 20 days since he returned from overseas. Miss Ye, he really didn’t appear in front of you again, right?”

Ye Qingqiu’s heart tightened and her fingers curled slightly.

After a long silence, she turned her head away. “So? What happened to him?”

Xiao Chu clenched his fists and said slowly, “If you go over, we might be able to find out what happened to him.”

Ye Qingqiu turned her head abruptly and looked at Xiao Chu. A few seconds later, she sneered.

“You think it’s fun to fool me?”

Xiao Chu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Do you think I didn’t do my job and risked having my salary deducted just to fool you? Miss Ye, you’re the apple of President Li’s eye. How dare I fool you?”

*

Xiao Chu drove Ye Qingqiu back to Qingqiu Manor.

Ye Qingqiu’s face darkened.

“He asked you to act pitiful just to send me home?”

Xiao Chu didn’t say anything as the car drove past the entrance of the manor and entered the majestic manor.

Xiao Chu opened the car door for her and got out. There was a person standing at the entrance of the villa. When he saw her, he strode towards her.

He stared at her for a long time before giving her a thumbs up.

“Impressive! I’ve really opened my eyes.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned at the tall and broad man in front of her and took a step back.

“Do what?”

Yin Ruijue pursed his lips and turned to look at the glorious manor in front of him.

“The house is luxurious and decorated beautifully, but it was wasted on that idiot!”

Ye Qingqiu frowned even more.

This vulgarity sounded extremely ear-piercing.

“Yin Ruijue.”

“Why? Are you feeling uncomfortable because I’m talking, or do you not like it when I say that Li Tingshen is a fool?”

Ye Qingqiu’s face darkened.

Yin Ruijue took a deep breath and said, “I’m f*cking convinced. He wants to kill himself for a woman.”

Ye Qingqiu’s fingers trembled.

“Let’s go in. Even if you’re kind enough to help us see if that idiot is still alive?”

She was a shrewd and scheming fox. Other than Liang Xuer, she wouldn’t accept anyone else.

In the end, she realized that everything was fake.

Liang Xuer was someone he cherished and doted on.

She had deliberately deceived a woman’s feelings and was willing to be her blood bank.

His methods were f*cking low.

Not to mention how evil Liang Xuer was.

However, there was a law against murderers.

These were different matters.

How did he convince himself to be such a rotten person?

Since she was so rotten in front of others, she wanted to be a good person now.

Ha.

If he wasn’t a fool, what was he?

“Miss Ye.”

Xiao Chu reminded. Ye Qingqiu’s eyes darkened as she looked at the villa in front of her and pursed her lips.

“One of you is his most trusted assistant, and the other is his best friend. I don’t think I’ll do as you wish…”

Yin Ruijue suddenly turned his head and frowned at her for two seconds before kicking the car beside him.

He paced in front of her angrily and scratched his head.

“Okay! Ancestor, can you give it a try?! What do you want? Do you want me to kneel and beg you?”

Yin Ruijue had always regarded himself as a rich young master. He was usually frivolous and no one had ever seen him in such a state.

Kneel down and beg her?

Her trembling fingertips gradually closed and pierced her palm. There was a clear pain.

Without another word, she walked into the villa.

Xiao Chu and Yin Ruijue followed behind.

Familiar designs, furniture, decorations…

She looked exactly like her back then.

There was no one in the living room.

“In the master bedroom upstairs.”

Yin Ruijue reminded her from behind.

“It’s been seven to eight days. She doesn’t even open the door no matter what. In the beginning, she knew how to handle the company’s matters. These few days, she didn’t even care about the company’s matters. She didn’t eat or drink. She’s like a lunatic.”

Ye Qingqiu was called over at the last minute and she didn’t know what had happened. Now that she heard this, she could only frown.

“You won’t eat or drink for seven to eight days?”

Yin Ruijue’s face darkened and he laughed sloppily. “It’s alright. It’s not like I didn’t use glucose to extend my life back then.”

Ye Qingqiu’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes trembled. Then, she looked at Yin Ruijue.

Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Xiao Chu looked at her and fell silent for a few seconds. She took a deep breath and said,

“Miss Ye, I’m sorry to call you over when you don’t know anything. Since you’re already here, I think… we can have a chat first…”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.

“What are you talking about… I don’t want to know a lot…”

“What a coincidence. I’m also curious about what you want to say. Why don’t you listen to it?”

A deep voice sounded from the door. They turned to see Bo Jinchuan walking in with Shen Fanxing in his arms.

“Brother Bo! Sister-in-law.”

Yin Ruijue greeted her in low spirits.

Xiao Chu also nodded respectfully.

Ye Qingqiu’s face was a little pale as she gripped her bag tightly and took a step back. Her subconscious desire to escape was obvious.

Shen Fanxing had been staring at her since she entered. When she saw her, her eyes flickered.

She walked to her side and stood beside her. Her gaze was soul-stirring as if there was a strong suction force that prevented the person’s eyes from moving.

“Since you followed Xiao Chu here today, you already have a judgment in your heart, right? Xiao Chu said that he wasn’t doing well, so you came.”

Ye Qingqiu’s fingers trembled and a look of embarrassment flashed across her face.

“No one will force you to forgive anyone, but aren’t you here to help? You have to understand something before you can really help, right?”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t want to pretend in front of Shen Fanxing.

Because it was all in vain.

She was an absolutely smart woman.

She had been through hundreds of battles in this society. If she didn’t have the ability to see through people, she wouldn’t have the current Shen Fanxing.

Releasing her trembling hand, she closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

“Sure.” She smiled. “Then let me hear how bad his life has been all these years.”

Shen Fanxing’s words enlightened everyone present.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t hate Li Tingshen and even hoped that he would lead a good life.

Hence, Ye Qingqiu’s words sounded like she was trying to be brave.

Ye Qingqiu knew what they were thinking. She sneered and walked to the sofa to sit down.

“You can see that he’s not living well. Your hearts ache and you’re anxious. You want him to be forgiven by me. It’s as if I have a heart of stone and no humanity if I don’t forgive him. So, do you think that compared to him, I’ve been living well these few years? Is there still room for my heart to ache for him?”

No one spoke for a while.

Bo Jinchuan walked to Shen Fanxing and led her to the sofa.

“If you don’t want to listen, go upstairs and bring her out. No one will stop you.”

“Ah Chuan…” Shen Fanxing held his hand in disapproval.

However, Ye Qingqiu stood on the sofa without moving.

She went up to bring him out?

Before she came, no one told her that she had to bring him out!

Seeing that Ye Qingqiu didn’t move, Xiao Chu heaved a sigh of relief and stood at the side.

“Miss Ye refused to see him. He had once tried his best to get Miss Ye out of prison, but the matter was successful. In the end, the news that Miss Ye was in prison was completely blocked. Miss Ye was determined to stay in prison for three years. At first, he seemed fine…”

“The media has spread rumors that he personally sent Miss Ye to prison. All kinds of public opinions online are targeting him. I know that CEO Li naturally doesn’t care about these comments, but what follows is all kinds of difficulties.”

“The Li Corporation building needs to be rebuilt, but the bank suddenly pressed for a loan. Because of public opinion, C&P Entertainment suffered a huge blow. All the external resources of the artistes under them were halted. The auditing of the drama was halted, and the funds invested were never returned. They couldn’t fork out the money to build the Li Corporation building and couldn’t repay the bank loan. At that time, someone wanted to buy the Li Corporation, including the land in the Li Corporation building. The price was unimaginable. CEO Li said that the process hadn’t been completed and didn’t agree. In the end…”

Xiao Chu paused and adjusted his emotions before continuing, “After that… CEO Li sold the Li family.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled and her body stiffened.

“I’m sure everyone knows better than me that the Li family has lived there for generations. Although it has been renovated a few times, it’s still the root of the Li family… The terrain is undoubtedly the best, so it was sold at a high price. However, it’s far from enough to rebuild the Li Corporation and repay the bank loan. In order to discuss the bank loan, CEO Li drank and socialized day and night. He drank and went to the hospital for emergency treatment several times. Only then did he manage to negotiate with a few banks and spend some money to build the current Li Corporation building.”

“The problem at C&P Entertainment hasn’t been resolved yet, but there’s already chaos at the Ye Corporation. A few directors have joined forces to merge the shares, wanting to remove the Ye family’s sovereignty. They’ve been putting pressure on us openly and secretly tampering with us. CEO Li has to deal with those evil people again…”

“That year… No, that month or two of chaos was indescribable. What I’m saying now sounds like the tip of the iceberg. There are other things involved…”

“The busy period made me feel that Miss Ye’s imprisonment was gradually being forgotten.”

“Because he’s too busy and it’s too difficult. CEO Li doesn’t have any spare time to think about the facts that can’t be changed and the woman who hates him to the core. He has always been very calm and has never mentioned you. Even when he hears someone mention you occasionally, he’s indifferent. I’ve always felt that it’s not a bad thing to be able to ignore everything about you after experiencing such chaos. However, after two months, when all the troubles were slowly resolved and the situation gradually calmed down, he didn’t go in and out of the company often. In the end, he simply didn’t go out and locked himself in that bedroom all day. At first, he even dealt with the company’s documents. Later on, he didn’t even care about the company’s documents. Back then, I was worried that something would happen to him if he didn’t eat or drink. I had no choice but to find a pile of glucose and water to force it in. After that, I reminded him to eat and drink glucose every day…”

“Later on, I realized that what I thought was excessive was not excessive at all. He just didn’t have the time to think about you. After thinking about it carefully, CEO Li bought the Li family’s old residence to protect the Li Corporation because you wanted the Li Corporation. He wanted to use a stronger Li Corporation as a betrothal gift to marry you. He tried his best to protect the Ye Corporation. From the beginning to the end, C&P Entertainment was abandoned by him…”

“I don’t know what he’s thinking by locking himself in his room. Is it because he feels that he’s responsible for your father and Ye Ze’s death? Or is it because you invited yourself to prison to take revenge or to prove how much you hate him… Or is he still thinking about what to do in the future to continue being with you…”

“This lasted for an entire month. No one could say anything. If not for Old Master Ye’s sudden illness, he might have really trapped himself inside…”

Ye Qingqiu sat on the sofa in the same position as before, but she no longer had any strength. Her eyes were empty as she stared at the spotless coffee table. Her folded palms were covered in cold sweat, and her fingers were trembling unconsciously.

Bo Jinchuan frowned and asked, “Aren’t you going to smash the door?”

Before Xiao Chu could speak, Yin Ruijue stomped his feet. “Smash the door? I did say that back then. The moment I finished speaking, that idiot opened the door and started hitting me without a word. I was almost beaten to death by him that time.”

Xiao Chu added, “Everything here was personally bought by Miss Ye back then, including the door. She chose it.”

After Yin Ruijue snorted coldly, the five people in the living room fell silent.

After a while, Xiao Chu looked at Ye Qingqiu, who had been calm and motionless with her eyes lowered. He pursed his lips.

“I don’t think Miss Ye wants to hear more details, so I won’t talk about it. This time… I think the reason is because of Miss Ye. Not long ago, he asked me to remove the entry and exit restrictions I gave your aunt. Madam Ye has been back for half a month, and President Li’s mood is getting worse… I’m guessing that he’s… worried that you… will leave with Young Master and Madam Ye…”

He wanted to set her free, but he didn’t want her to leave.

Shen Fanxing tightened her grip as two extreme emotions clashed.

What would happen if this situation continued?

Three years ago, Old Master Ye had suddenly fallen ill. For the sake of Liang Xuer’s blood, he had survived for three years.

What about this time?

There wouldn’t be Old Master Ye in critical condition, nor would he covet the blood of others.

So what should she do next?

After some thought, she agreed with Xiao Chu’s idea.

She could only rely on Ye Qingqiu.

She glanced at Ye Qingqiu, who didn’t move at all. Her head was slightly lowered and her eyes were lowered. Even her expression couldn’t be seen.

She couldn’t say anything. After all, she had no right to interfere in other people’s matters.

Everyone’s gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu.

They were all looking forward to what she would choose to do next.

Yin Ruijue was the most impatient. Seeing how indifferent she was, he frowned.

“Ye Qingqiu, why are you still standing there?”

“So?” Ye Qingqiu finally reacted. She spoke first before looking up calmly.

“As long as it’s me, he will definitely come out, right? What happens after he comes out? In case he does this again in the future, do I have to remarry him?”

Yin Ruijue blinked his eyes.

Bo Jinchuan nodded and said, “That better be the case.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Yin Ruijue opened his mouth slightly and gave Bo Jinchuan a thumbs up.

Impressive.

Couldn’t she tell that this was sarcasm?

Ye Qingqiu laughed. “You think so?”

Bo Jinchuan nodded and said, “I think it’s fine. Your father passed away because he had heart disease. His mother passed away because she was too obsessed with your father. If we’re talking about grudges, it’s because of the accumulated grudges between their elders. You and Tingshen are at most victims.”

Bo Jinchuan’s words stunned Ye Qingqiu. She sneered and said, “CEO Bo really knows how to find excuses to shirk responsibility.”

“You don’t admit it, but it’s true. There are many sides to everything. Whichever reason makes you happier is the right one. There are better and more open-minded choices, but you choose the wrong one and trap yourself for the rest of your life. That’s what stupid people do.”

Ye Qingqiu stared at him quietly, and the sneer on her face gradually faded.

“Everything happened because of his mother. My father doesn’t love her. The so-called grudges are just her provocation…”

Bo Jinchuan said without batting an eyelid, “Yes, that’s true. Just like how you invited yourself to prison back then, you can use your feelings and hurt yourself to take revenge on Tingshen. Don’t blame others for doing other irrational things because of your feelings. You can also continue to be in a deadlock with him. Perhaps in a few years, you can let your son try the grudges between elders.”

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes trembled violently.

Yin Ruijue cursed in his heart.

Everyone present knew the principle of not commenting on other people’s matters. It was even more difficult for them to speak in a guiding tone.

After all, one shouldn’t advise others not to suffer.

Although Li Tingshen was leading a terrible life, Ye Qingqiu had experienced a lot.

Even if Ye Qingqiu didn’t interact with Li Tingshen in this lifetime, that was… reasonable.

But Brother Bo’s words sounded like…

‘Yes?’

That was indeed the case.

As expected of Brother Bo.

Ye Qingqiu looked at her, unable to find any words to refute Bo Jinchuan.

“…What if you’re him and Shen Fanxing is me? Would you still think that these words are right?”

“Chasing and intercepting, stealing and kidnapping, any move is fine as long as she is mine and she stays by my side as I wish.

What’s right? It’s right to get what I want. Why should I let you off and torture yourself? When did he start wanting to be a great man? Even the person in front of Tiananmen Square can’t be his.”

“Pfft…”

Yin Ruijue couldn’t help but laugh. Was Brother Bo trying to coax his wife?

Such a serious atmosphere could actually make him laugh.

Bo Jinchuan glanced at him calmly.

Yin Ruijue suppressed his laughter with a casual glance.

Shocked by his words, Ye Qingqiu shifted her gaze to Shen Fanxing.

Shen Fanxing met her gaze and smiled.

“We’re not you. Since I know that he loves me, I won’t let things end up like this.”

“Besides, I won’t give him to any woman. It’s best for those I love and like to stay by my side. I think there’s no one in this world who loves him more than me and wants the best for him. I’ll only give this trust to myself.”

Bo Jinchuan, who was sitting beside Shen Fanxing, smiled and reached out to grab her hand.

“What a coincidence, me too.”

Shen Fanxing smiled and looked at Ye Qingqiu. “How were you so determined to choose him back then? When you decided to go to jail, other than being sure that he loved you, did you have any other thoughts? For example, are you sure that there’s no one in this world who loves him more than you?”

Ye Qingqiu blinked her eyes uncontrollably.

After a while, she sneered and stood up.

“One is CEO Bo and the other is CEO Shen. The strong and the strong are working together. I can’t win against you.”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked upstairs.

*

Standing at the bedroom door, Ye Qingqiu looked at the door in front of her and didn’t take a step forward for a long time.

One or two of them could actually make it sound so simple and beautiful.

She had locked herself in her bedroom for more than a month. How impressive.

After some time, Yin Ruijue, who had been following her and stealing glances, was anxious to death. He strode over and knocked on the door.

Then, she ran away.

Ye Qingqiu was speechless.

Yin Ruijue knocked on the door a few times but there was no response.

There was still dead silence behind the door.

In the bedroom, there were neatly arranged glucose bottles and strong alcohol.

Li Tingshen sat on the floor with one leg bent and his arm resting on his knee. His head was buried in his arm and he didn’t move.

Even Yin Ruijue’s sudden and heavy knocks did not make him budge.

She looked like a statue without a breath, sitting there lifelessly.

After some time, there was another knock on the door.

Her voice was soft and rhythmic.

Li Tingshen remained motionless.

After another two minutes, a calm voice sounded through the heavy door.

“Li Tingshen.”

The man, who was sitting motionless on the ground, suddenly trembled.

She raised her head slowly and looked at the empty room. Her dark eyes paused.

Was it another illusion?

How could she…

“Li Tingshen, open the door.”

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Li Tingshen turned his head and looked at the door. His eyes were bloodshot.

He paused for a moment as if he had finally regained consciousness. He hurriedly pushed himself up from the bed.

He had been sitting for too long. Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much, but when he stood up, a wave of dizziness made his body sway slightly.

Ye Qingqiu didn’t get a response the second time she spoke. Her patience had been aroused. Looking at the door in front of her, she frowned and kicked it.

However, the door suddenly opened and she missed. She fell forward.

In a moment of desperation, she reached out to grab the door frame, but her head was still pressed against the man’s chest.

Her slender waist was held tightly by the man.

Ye Qingqiu came back to her senses and straightened her body. She looked up at the handsome and dispirited man who was staring at her intently. His long eyes were filled with surprise and his brows were filled with nervousness and helplessness.

Ye Qingqiu paused and looked at his wrinkled black shirt. He looked disheveled, but he still exuded an elegant and noble aura.

Her brows furrowed slightly and her voice was cold.

“Everyone thought you died inside.”

Yin Ruijue, who had been hiding at the staircase, gritted his teeth and whispered,

“Other people are about to knock on the door until it breaks, but Ye Qingqiu’s meowing makes it seem like he’s not deaf.”

Shen Fanxing leaned forward and saw Ye Qingqiu falling into the room.

“Let’s go.”

She felt a grip on her waist and Bo Jinchuan was led downstairs.

“They…”

Bo Jinchuan stopped in his tracks and looked into Shen Fanxing’s eyes. “We’ve interfered too much, Madam Bo.”

Shen Fanxing couldn’t deny it, but it sounded like she had ulterior motives. For example, she had interfered because she was biased towards Ye Qingqiu.

Even though it was the truth.

“That’s your brother! His situation looks worse now.”

Bo Jinchuan retracted his gaze and continued walking with her. “It’s none of our business.”

Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and Bo Jinchuan walked to the sofa to tie a scarf around her neck.

“A hundred of us can’t compare to Ye Qingqiu alone. Why are you still here?”

Shen Fanxing felt that it made sense.

Her eyes darted around before she turned to look at Yin Ruijue.

“Then is he in the way?”

Bo Jinchuan turned to look.

Yin Ruijue suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

*

“No.”

Faced with Ye Qingqiu’s harsh words, Li Tingshen replied in a hoarse voice, his gaze locked on the woman’s beautiful face.

Ye Qingqiu looked at him for a while and frowned. She retracted her gaze and said coldly.

“Let go of me.”

When the hand on her waist heard her words, it subconsciously tightened.

Ye Qingqiu raised her hand and pushed his chest forcefully. Her body, which had been exhausted for seven to eight days, staggered a few steps back.

His eyes flickered as his gaze followed the woman closely. He saw her walking in calmly.

The window was open, but the strong smell of alcohol lingered in the air. Her eyes turned cold as her gaze swept across the room. Finally, her gaze landed on the bottles of strong alcohol on the floor beside the bed. She paused for a second before slowly looking up at the man who was about to approach her again.

“Stay away from me.”

Ye Qingqiu said coldly. As expected, Li Tingshen stopped in his tracks and looked at her helplessly.

A few seconds later, when he read the undisguised disgust on her face, he took two steps back.

“Sorry, I’m going to take a shower.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything and walked slowly to the bedroom window.

Li Tingshen stood behind her and hesitated for a long time before saying, “I… will be out soon.”

Ye Qingqiu’s back was facing him. Her eyelids drooped slightly and her pink lips twitched slightly. Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, but she remained silent.

Li Tingshen looked at her uneasily for a while before turning around and walking into the bathroom.

When the sound of water came from the bathroom, Ye Qingqiu moved. She placed her hand on the windowsill. The windowsill was very high and wide. There were some things on it, but they were all covered by small black cloth bags.

She raised her hand slowly and tore off a black cloth bag. There was a bouquet of sunflowers with two bees surrounding it.

Her eyes trembled slightly.

Back then, because the lighting in the bedroom was good, she had bought a lot of solar decorations. If the one in front of her was full of energy, the two bees would revolve around the sunflower.

There were a few black cloth bags beside her. She must have bought them back then.

The windowsill was spotless. Even the ornaments she had placed here three years ago looked brand new.

If not for the black cloth bag, she would have rotted after three years.

He opened the bouquet of sunflowers a little. There was a small one inside, and on it were two tiny bees…

She closed her eyes and suppressed the bitterness in her heart.

Back then, the arrogant and naive Ye Qingqiu only had one person in her mind. She yearned for him everywhere and loved him.

How happy was she back then because of this little thing?

*

Li Tingshen came out of the bathroom. He didn’t blow dry his hair and had already changed into clean home clothes.

Compared to the decadence just now, it was undoubtedly much more refreshing now.

When he saw Ye Qingqiu standing by the window, his tensed eyes gradually relaxed.

“Why… are you here?”

Ye Qingqiu turned around and looked up at him.

Li Tingshen’s body tensed up as he sized her up. When he saw her retracting her gaze expressionlessly, he took a few steps closer to her.

His approach made Ye Qingqiu’s eyes flash slightly. She turned around and covered the sunflower ornament with the black cloth again.

She could feel a wet body gradually approaching her and finally standing behind her.

“Your good assistant and brother begged me to come and see you because they were afraid that you would die in the house.”

She retracted her hand and a muscular chest pressed against her back. She was trapped in his embrace.

She heard his low and hoarse voice. “You came because they begged you. So… you’re worried about me, right?”

Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes and stood rooted to the ground.

“No.”

Li Tingshen hugged her even tighter.

“Let go of me.”

Li Tingshen buried his face in her neck and greedily absorbed her scent.

“Then why are you here?”

His cool lips landed on her skin. Every word he said was like a lingering kiss.

Ye Qingqiu’s body tensed up. His question made her feel inexplicably angry.

“I was hungry and went home for lunch. Your assistant brought me here halfway.”

This reason was half true.

The man who had been hugging her tightly suddenly let go of her.

“You haven’t had lunch? Wait, I’ll cook for you.”

Ye Qingqiu gritted her teeth.

“I don’t like eating alone.”

Li Tingshen paused and stared at her intently.

“Can I eat with you?”
