Early summer.
Chi Mi pushed her suitcase out of the airport, the intense sunlight making her squint.
What was even more glaring than the sunlight was her boyfriend, who was currently embracing a long-haired woman and kissing her by the roadside, his sports car parked beside them.
Heh.
He came to pick her up from the airport and still couldn’t resist cheating.
Cheating in public.
Yang Siquan!
You son of a bitch, you’ve really outdone yourself!
Chi Mi took out her phone, recording a video as she walked over. The evidence of his infidelity was irrefutable.
That woman’s face looked like a testament to the nation’s technological prowess, and Yang Siquan really wasn’t a picky eater.
Disgusting.
In the middle of his kiss, Yang Siquan spotted Chi Mi and instantly pushed the woman beside him away. “Mi Mi, let me explain…”
Chi Mi slapped him across the face. “Scumbag! We’re breaking up!”
Yang Siquan grabbed her suitcase. “Chi Mi, you stop right there.”
Chi Mi slowly took out her sunglasses and put them on. The sight was too hard on the eyes.
Looking at it for even a second longer was an insult to her vision.
Her face turned cold. “Yang Siquan, let go.”
“Chi Mi, you’ve been studying abroad all this time. I’m a man, I have needs. Now that you’re back, I promise I’ll never touch another woman again…” Yang Siquan gripped the suitcase tightly. “Give me a chance.”
He had never seen a woman as beautiful as Chi Mi. They had been in a long-distance relationship for two years, and now they were breaking up before he had even held her hand.
In that case, his investment of over two years was too great a loss!
He was a businessman; he never made a losing deal!
The disgust in Chi Mi’s eyes was hidden behind her sunglasses. “Once a cheater, always a cheater.”
She was a germaphobe. The thought of him kissing someone else right in front of her made her feel sick.
Yang Siquan released his grip and straightened up arrogantly. “Chi Mi, if you break up with me now, what about your family’s company? I heard your younger brother got scammed, his investment project is a total wreck, Chi An’s capital chain is broken, and other projects have been halted. It’s about to go bankrupt. If you don’t break up with me, perhaps I can still give Chi An some financial support.”
Chi Mi was bewildered. Her family’s company was going bankrupt?
How did she not know?
Her father and brother had never told her.
“Just a ‘perhaps’ is not enough. Rather than waste my time and energy on you, I’d be better off finding someone else.” Chi Mi, in her high heels, turned and got into a taxi.
Yang Siquan roared at her retreating back, “Chi Mi, you’ll come back begging me!”
The woman he had been kissing by the roadside had long since run off to board her flight.
Picking one up, seeing another one off.
It was supposed to be a perfectly timed affair!
He hadn’t expected the plane to land early, and Chi Mi caught him red-handed while he was kissing the other woman.
Fuck!
He had pursued Chi Mi for two years before she reluctantly agreed to give it a try, and in the end, he got absolutely nothing out of it!
Chi Mi was a top student from Harvard, a female doctor of medicine, drop-dead gorgeous, with a great figure. Taking her out would give him so much face!
No.
He had to get back together with her!
Chi An Group.
The security guard stopped her. “Excuse me, who are you? Do you have an appointment?”
“My name is Chi Mi. I’m your CEO’s older sister!”
She had gone abroad to study in her teens and hadn’t been to the company in so many years, so it was understandable that the security guard didn’t recognize her.
The guard stared at her, uncertain, and made a phone call.
Soon, a company executive came running out.
It was an uncle who recognized her.
“Young Miss!”
Chi Mi pushed her suitcase inside. “I heard the company is going bankrupt. Is that true?”
“It’s true.”
Chi Mi was speechless.
Her boyfriend cheated on her, and her family’s company was going bankrupt. She had just returned to the country, and she was already in hell mode!
What on earth was that idiot Chi An doing every day?
She had said long ago that the brat was unreliable and that their father shouldn’t retire so early.
Neither of them believed her.
And it turned out he really was unreliable.
He had only been in charge for a year and had already driven the company to bankruptcy.
That spendthrift Chi An!
Chi Mi arrived at the CEO’s office. It was completely empty. She furrowed her delicate brows. “Where’s Chi An?”
The secretary answered timidly, “Young Miss, we haven’t found him yet. We haven’t been able to contact the CEO since yesterday…”
“Is he hiding, or did he jump off a building out of shame?” Chi Mi asked coldly, her long fingers tapping on the desk as she calmly surveyed the place where her brother usually worked.
Wasn’t this desk a little too clean?
Did Chi An just slack off at work all day?
Chi Mi said in a cold voice, “Contact me immediately once you find him.”
“Yes.”
Chi Mi left the company and went to the apartment she had previously bought two streets away from the hospital. She unpacked her luggage and bought some things, working until past nine in the evening before she received a call from Chi An’s secretary.
They had found Chi An.
He was at a bar.
Chi Mi had never been to a bar before. The first time she stepped inside, it was crowded and lively, with a strong, rich smell of alcohol mixed with tobacco.
It made the germaphobe in her feel completely uncomfortable.
“She doesn’t want me…”
“She only sees me as a f-buddy, she doesn’t want to be my girlfriend…”
“Ahhh… sob sob sob, she’s so cruel…”
“She doesn’t love me for me, she only loves my body…”
Chi An was dead drunk, crying his eyes out as he drank, drawing the attention of many people.
His friend, Tang Zhan, sat opposite him with a sympathetic look on his face.
“Chi An!”
“A beauty is coming over to hit on you!”
The moment Tang Zhan’s words fell, Chi Mi’s palm landed on Chi An’s face.
Tang Zhan: Shocked expression
Chi An: ∑(‘△｀)？！
“Who hit me?”
Chi An raised his head.
Slap, slap, slap. Three more slaps landed.
Chi An shot to his feet. “You dare hit me!”
Chi Mi kicked him. “Chi An, have you lost your mind! What kind of devoted lover act are you putting on here? The company is about to go bankrupt, and you still have the mood to drink?”
Chi An touched his face and finally saw Chi Mi’s face clearly under the shifting lights.
He burst out crying with a wail.
“Sis…”
“Sob sob, Sister…”
Chi An rushed forward to hug her.
Chi Mi shoved him away in disgust. She used too much force, and Chi An fell directly onto the sofa behind him.
Tang Zhan was stunned. Was this the legendary bloodline suppression?
Chi Mi looked so slender, yet she had knocked Chi An right onto the sofa.
“What are you crying for? You still have the nerve to cry? Get up,” Chi Mi said with a cold face, her lungs about to explode with anger at this brat.
She had lived for thirty-five years, and this was the first time she discovered that her own brother was actually a love-struck fool!
He was about to go from a precious young master to a debt-ridden pauper living on the streets, and he was still wondering why a woman didn’t love him!
Once he became a poor boy, who would be willing to suffer with him?
Idiot!
Meanwhile, in a booth on the second floor of the bar, Jiang Qianli held a glass of whiskey, watching the Chi siblings below with great interest. “Brother Zhuo! That chick is so damn beautiful! Her body is hot, and her temper is hot too!”
Ye Zhuohuai had little interest in women, but Jiang Qianli’s reaction was too dramatic.
He looked down from his high vantage point, his gaze sweeping over them indifferently.
He had only intended to take a quick glance and then take the opportunity to belittle Jiang Qianli’s taste.
But when his eyes landed on Chi Mi, he couldn’t look away.
She had her hair in a ponytail. Even under the dim, unflattering lights, he could see her skin was flawless, her facial contours were exquisite, and her nose was high and straight. Her red lips were cursing, which was a little cute.
She was wearing light-colored jeans and a pure white short-sleeved T-shirt. The white tee was slim-fitting and short, and as she moved to grab Chi An, a sliver of a slender, soft waist was revealed between her jeans and the shirt.
Beautiful face, large breasts, wasp waist, perky butt, long legs, fair skin, long hair = a bombshell!
Ye Zhuohuai couldn’t help but swallow. His mind had already begun to fantasize about holding her slender waist and pulling her in for a kiss.
What was happening?
He seemed to… like her a little.
“Women should be gentle as water. It’s so normal for men to come out for drinks and socializing! Making a scene in a bar and dragging a man away… no matter how beautiful she is, we can’t have someone like that!” Jiang Qianli tutted twice. “Brother Zhuo, am I right?”
Right, my ass
