21 – Mimi is Harassed by a Pervert
A few minutes later, Chi An followed Ye Zhuohuai back to the office.
Fine.
He was only a little older than him.
Just a little bit!
Chi An stared at the imposing Ye Zhuohuai and honestly confessed, “My sister has been living abroad for ten years. I don’t know all her preferences either. She doesn’t tell me every little thing.”
“Tell me what you know first.”
“What I know might not even be accurate. People change—maybe she liked something before but doesn’t anymore!” Chi An lowered his head.
It was all his fault.
If he hadn’t made that mistake, his sister wouldn’t have had to sacrifice herself.
“Chi An, if this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, what use are you to me?” Ye Zhuohuai had lost patience with Chi An.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Chi Mi’s sake, he wouldn’t even bother with this blockhead Chi An.
Educating him was just to make Chi Mi feel a bit more at ease.
“You’re not satisfied with me?” Ye Zhuohuai could see it now. “That shouldn’t be the case. I can’t figure it out—in An City, who could be richer, have a better family background, looks, ability, or talent than me? I have everything. What right do you have to be dissatisfied with me? Tell me.”
Chi An’s voice was low and weak, clearly guilty. “You two don’t have feelings…”
“Feelings can be cultivated. But if your brain is broken, it can’t be fixed.”
Chi An stared at him with reddened eyes—he’d been scolded!
His sister had scolded him too, asking if he was keeping his brain unused as an inheritance.
Being stared at with those teary eyes, so similar to Chi Mi’s, Ye Zhuohuai, who had lived for 25 years, reflected for the first time whether he had spoken too harshly. Chi An was young and couldn’t handle such blows.
But compared to him, when he was 22, he already had complete control of the Ye Li Group.
Chi An just couldn’t measure up.
He wasn’t wrong!
Chi An’s brain simply wasn’t up to par.
The Chi parents must have passed all their intelligence to Chi Mi, leaving only the leftovers for Chi An to absorb.
“Chi An, saying you’re young is relative. Do you really think you’re that young? In An City, many of the seemingly frivolous rich kids have actually been groomed since childhood, their minds sharper than ever. If you can’t learn, then obediently listen.” Ye Zhuohuai’s gaze turned cold and fierce. “I have to go on a business trip soon, probably for about a week. Keep a close eye on your sister for me. She has the face of a femme fatale, too good at attracting attention.”
“Is that my task?”
“Whenever I’m not in An City, you keep an eye on her for me!” If possible, Ye Zhuohuai would have loved to leave his assistant behind.
But Chi Mi definitely wouldn’t like that.
After thinking it over, no one was more suitable for this job than Chi An.
“From now on, you’ll be my spy. I’ll teach you business knowledge and introduce you to others in An City. In short, everything I do is because you’re Chi Mi’s brother. So, you’d better make sure we last long and stay happily together forever. Otherwise…” Ye Zhuohuai sneered, “I’ll take back everything I’ve given, with interest.”
Chi An felt a chill down his spine. So terrifying.
He wondered if the air conditioning in the meeting room was set too low.
Chi An didn’t dare waste Ye Zhuohuai’s time and told him everything he knew about his sister’s preferences.
As Ye Zhuohuai took notes, his gaze looked particularly focused, even carrying a faint smile at the corners of his eyes.He seemed to be genuinely, deeply interested in his sister.
It was hard to say how long this interest would last.
Ye Zhuohuai had a notoriously bad temper and was not someone to be trifled with. His proud, arrogant personality was widely known—a spoiled second-generation heir who might be infatuated today and lose interest tomorrow.
He couldn’t let the company collapse!
He couldn’t let his sister’s efforts go to waste!
Chi Mi never expected there would be social obligations even at the hospital. After successfully completing a major surgery, they still had to go out to celebrate.
It was worth celebrating, but she would much rather go home and rest.
Ye Zhuohuai was away on a business trip for a week. He said he would bring her a gift when he returned and reminded her to prepare the gift she owed him.
If she dared to brush him off again this time, he would definitely be furious, and who knew what he might do to her!
So in the private room, while several men were drinking and a girl who had been there for half an hour was singing nonstop, Chi Mi kept her head down, scrolling through her phone, picking out a gift for Ye Zhuohuai.
“Doctor Chi, you were busy at the hospital when you first arrived, so we didn’t have a chance to hold a welcome party for you. Consider tonight your welcome party. We’ll be working together from now on, so here, let me toast you!”
He Lin, sitting across from her, raised his glass, his face flushed from drinking, a broad smile on his face.
Chi Mi picked up the juice in front of her, gave a perfunctory toast in his direction, and took a sip. “Thank you.”
Everyone in the room was stunned.
That was it?
Just like that?
“Doctor Chi grew up abroad, so she might not be very familiar with the social customs of our country. But that’s okay, we can teach her slowly,” said the potbellied Director Zhang, holding his glass as he sat down beside Chi Mi. “Mimi, when the director pours you a drink, you have to drink it!”
Chi Mi calmly watched as he poured out her juice and replaced it with baijiu.
Director Zhang leaned closer to her, trying to create an intimate atmosphere.
The lighting in the room was dim, with the overhead lights constantly shifting colors.
Chi Mi subtly shifted away. “Sorry, I don’t drink.”
“Is it that you don’t drink, or that you’re not giving me face?”
“I have a low tolerance for alcohol. One glass and I’m drunk, and when I’m drunk, I go wild. I can’t even guarantee what terrible things I might do.” Chi Mi smiled faintly. “For the safety of everyone here, I’d better not drink.”
After hearing this, the others could only force awkward laughs.
They quickly chimed in, telling her not to drink.
Director Zhang’s expression soured. A low tolerance for alcohol was exactly what he wanted, but if she went wild when drunk, that was another matter.
Truly, no one is perfect!
Who would have thought such a beautiful woman could turn into a wild drunk?
Judging by her evasive demeanor, her drunken antics must be terrifying.
After moving closer, Director Zhang didn’t leave. His lecherous gaze kept drifting toward Chi Mi.
He switched hands, placing his right hand behind Chi Mi’s back. While chatting and laughing with others, his right hand subtly landed on Chi Mi’s back.
Chi Mi stiffened, her eyes instantly turning cold.
She raised her phone and slapped it down!
The room was noisy, and at first, no one noticed what was happening.
Director Zhang was momentarily stunned by the slap. He was about to curse at Chi Mi, the foul words already on the tip of his tongue, nearly escaping his lips.
Chi Mi stood up, grabbed a cushion from the sofa, and started hitting him with it.
Once, twice, three times.
The singing in the room stopped, and everyone else immediately stood up.
“What’s going on?”
“Chi Mi, calm down!”
“Stop! Are you crazy?”The two girls pulled Chi Mi away. “Don’t be impulsive.”
Director Zhang sat on the sofa. “Chi Mi, have you lost your mind?”
