Chapter 2425: Chapter 2425

"Sorry, Mr. Duan, about the matter just now, can we discuss it again? Xiaoying didn’t mean it." Sister Wu, having seen more of the world, came in bearing pressure and addressed Duan Xi in a conciliatory manner.

Jiaojiao’s suspicious gaze swept over the two: "Are you discussing the contract now?"

"Get out!" Duan Xi’s voice was devoid of any warmth: "Yang Chen!"

"Mr. Duan..." Sister Wu naturally knew that "get out" was meant for them. She wanted to try, but Duan Xi’s gaze was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Her face gradually turned pale.

Upon hearing Duan Xi’s clearly angry shout, Yang Chen hurriedly ran in: "Since collaboration isn’t suitable anymore, you both don’t need to trouble yourselves here. Please!"

He held the door and made a gesture inviting them to leave.

Previously, Luo Ying felt she could risk it all, but now, facing Jiaojiao’s somewhat puzzled gaze, she found herself bereft of courage, burying her head and turning around. Sister Wu knew there was truly no hope and could only follow helplessly.

The two left one after the other, and Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, grinning like a sycophant at the two in the office: "Hahaha, Boss, Sis-in-law, carry on, carry on." After saying this, he closed the office door, covering his chest.

"??? Jiaojiao was completely confused, what does this mean?

Duan Xi pulled her to sit on his lap behind the office desk and asked her, "You just said..."

But before he could finish his sentence, the office door was pushed open again.

Jiaojiao promptly got up from his embrace and turned to look over.

Meanwhile, the veins on Duan Xi’s forehead were throbbing. He never realized he had become so lacking in authority. He could almost not suppress the violence in his eyes, his gaze sweeping coldly.

"..." Shen Ting.

Their eyes met.

Always fearless, relying on his rebirth, Shen Ting couldn’t help swallowing and then silently, gradually, released his grip on the doorknob, allowing the office door he had just pushed open to close bit by bit.

Until there wasn’t the slightest gap left, he raised his hand to touch his neck, feeling inexplicably as if he had narrowly escaped death.

Inside the room, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but blink, watching Duan Xi get up to lock the office door before pulling her into his arms.

"Alright, now no one will disturb us." Duan Xi held his girl, his handsome face transformed, full of tenderness as he kissed her twinkling eyes: "What did you just say."

"Oh, that, Jiang Xun said, oops, not him, it was Shen Ting who said Jiang Xun is investigating me, Xin Miao, and Feng Nianian. He’s looking into events from the last ten years, Brother Xi, do you think he found out something?" Jiaojiao asked.

In fact, even if Jiang Xun did find something, or if Feng Nianian told Jiang Xun everything, Jiaojiao wasn’t too afraid. After all, it had been many years since, and they adamantly denied it. Jiang Xun couldn’t do much. In Beidu, the Jiang Family has some status, but it’s not like they call the shots. Could they treat her as a monster and destroy her?

Nonetheless, since something’s been uncovered, preparations should be made. It’s always good to be more prepared.

But the thing she worried about most was something else.

She held Duan Xi’s neck, whispering in his ear: "Brother Xi, the bell used to seal Yuan Manman, it won’t be made into an issue by someone, will it?"
