She just played the video yesterday, and he came to her doorstep today. Unexpectedly, Cui Peng must have called him and cried in front of him about how much injustice she had suffered.

From yesterday morning to noon today, the Ruipu work group chat has been flooded with gossip about the new boss.

Now, Pei Shixiao was sitting in the reception room, staring out the window in a daze.

Just like the night she publicly revealed the reason for their break up on WeChat Moments—he didn’t know why he came.

He was filled with unwillingness.

But he finally had an excuse to see her.

He hasn’t slept well since he saw her marriage certificate at the financial summit. He dreamed of her, and knew he was in a dream, hoping that the dream would last longer, and she would stay by his side for a few more hours.

It has been one year and three months since they broke up, and the dull pain was still there, with no sign of fading.

Sometimes he worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, and he couldn’t fall asleep no matter how sleepy he was. He couldn’t help but think of her, wondering if they would have had a child by now.

This year marked the eleventh year since they knew each other. When he returned to Suzhou some time ago, he wandered around the alley across their high school and nothing has changed.

The repair shop was still the same as before.

The oden restaurant where she liked to eat was still there.

“Boss Pei, you are so leisurely that you flew all the way from Shanghai just to have a free cup of tea from Ruipu.”

The mocking voice brought him back to his senses.

Pei Shixiao turned his head and saw Luo Qi coming in. She still looked the same as before, even her clothes hasn’t changed, but there was no warmth in her eyes anymore. She looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at a stranger.

He stood up, “Luo Qi, during those ten years, I truly loved you. Why do you have to be so ruthless? You just exposed it in front of so many people.”

She would even let Luo Yu spread such news.

“I know those years were not fake, so I’m grateful to you and give you face. Say whatever you want to say quickly, don’t affect my work. Don’t tell me whatever it is that Cui Peng said to you, I’m not interested. If you want to vent your anger for Cui Peng, then wait until I get off work and I’ll be with my husband then. Everyone can find their own man to support them. I won’t be stupid enough to confront you two head-on by myself.”

“Luo Qi!”

She called someone else her husband in front of him, and Pei Shixiao felt heartbroken.

What on earth was he doing here today?

He didn’t know himself.

“It was my fault from the beginning. No matter what Cui Peng did, it was I who couldn’t resist. Don’t implicate her anymore. She just wanted to do her job. If you are angry, come to me, okay?”

Luo Qi wanted to laugh but couldn’t. “If you were my partner, like Yu Bo, I would still waste some time talking to you for the sake of cooperation.”

But he was nothing to her, so there was no need to waste words on him.

That was all she was willing to say, “If you want to vent your anger for her, we can meet somewhere else. If you are not venting anger for her, please leave Ruipu now.”

‘Knock! Knock!‘ There were two consecutive impatient knocks on the door.

The door was not closed. Shu Rui stood at the door and glanced at Pei Shixiao, then looked at Luo Qi expressionlessly, “Day and night, it’s endless. When can you come here without bringing your personal matters to the company?”

“It’s Mr. Pei, isn’t it?” He introduced himself. “I’m Shu Rui. If it’s a personal matter, please solve it after people get off work. At least don’t make a scene in the office of Ruipu and affect our employees’ normal work. If it’s a work matter, then talk to me. I still have the control of Ruipu. There’s no need to talk to Luo Qi.”

Pei Shixiao’s jaw was tight, and he said nothing.

“Yesterday’s meeting was our internal meeting. It seems Mr. Pei learned about matters discussed there so quickly. He must have heard it from Cui Peng, right? I have known Cui Peng for this long, and I think the only thing she ever said that was fair and credible is that she is not as capable as Luo Qi.”

Pei Shixiao: “…”

Shu Rui continued, “I won’t comment on the other things. I am the same as Mr. Pei—a victim of wholesale scam, but I am luckier.”

He opened the chat box on his phone. “On my birthday, she sent me a document at midnight. She called me after she drank too much and asked to take her to the hospital. She never knocked when entering my office. There were too many things like this.”

‘3, 2…’ Before the countdown reached ‘1’, Pei Shixiao squeezed past him and walked away with dignity. After walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at Luo Qi.

He regretted it.

He regretted why he forgot her 28th birthday; why he didn’t accompany her to try on wedding dresses; and why he postponed getting the marriage certificate.

Where was he when she went to Shanghai to see him?

… …

After Pei Shixiao walked away, Shu Rui looked at Luo Qi again, “Please solve your private matters after work!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Luo Qi called to his back, “Thank you for today. As for Ruipu’s decision to give up the high-end market. Please give me your agreement as soon as possible.”

Shu Rui didn’t even turn his head.

When she got home in the evening, Jiang Shenghe had already returned. It was rare that he got off work earlier than her.

The little puppies pounced on her and circled around her.

Jiang Shenghe gave her a shopping card from a certain shopping mall and lied, “This was given to me by a friend. I helped him before. He also gave one to Qin Moling.”

“How much is in it?”

It was enough for her to buy a lot of dresses. In fact, the shopping cards were bought by him and Qin Moling with their own money. Jian Hang was the same as Luo Qi—she didn’t spend Qin Moling’s money. This was a way they thought of to give them money, even if they didn’t want to accept it.

“I don’t know how much money is in there either. Go check it out at the mall when you have time.”

Luo Qi put it in her wallet. She would use it during the New Year’s Day holiday to go shopping with Jian Hang.

Jiang Shenghe said, “There may be a time limit, so you need to spend it all at once.”

Luo Qi agreed and briefly told him about Pei Shixiao’s incident at noon. “This is the only downside to that office building. Anyone who wants to come up can come up. Once you get to the company’s front desk, they can’t stop you.”

Jiang Shenghe thought about it, “You can discuss it with Shu Rui, why don’t Ruipu move to Yuanwei Building to work? I’ll give you two floors and won’t charge you rent. You can rent out the offices you’re using now, and the rent can also subsidize the company’s daily expenses. All of Ruipu can come over, including the cafeteria staff and cleaning staff.” 

This way, all her worries would be solved.

Luo Qi was a little tempted—the rent collected would give Ruipu extra income, and it was a fact that Ruipu was a little short of money. Moving to Yuanwei Building would also improve the office environment and staff meals.

Yuanwei Building was located in a place where every inch of land was valuable, and everything you need was conveniently nearby. When He Xu picked her up to have dinner with He Wancheng, he also asked why they didn’t move to Yuanwei Building.

The staff would definitely want to come, but the top management may not, because all officials wanted to be far away from emperor.

“Shu Rui may not agree. I will talk to him about this plan after he agrees to give up the high-end market.”

Jiang Shenghe said, “There’s no rush.”

When Ruipu moves to Yuanwei Building, he would be able to see her often at work.
