Chapter 209 Struggles with reality (2/2)

This time, it was Lin Hui who spoke out. He sat beside Liu Shan with both his arms crossed over his chest. Scanning every person in the room, he continues his words.

”The younger brother, Chu Li Xiang is 'personally' connected to Chen Limei.”

Hearing this, everyone, besides Liu Shan, gasped in shock and the room turned into silence. Never did they think Chen Limei to be involved in the underworld, let alone be in a secret relationship with one.

Shan Sinan, the textile designer was the first to break the silence, ”So, what now? Not only did Chen Limei ordered those people to steal from boss, right now, Boss is even a target for them.”

”Once Black Dragon's leader finds out that it is his younger brother out to get Boss, who do you think will be in more trouble?”

Gui Zhongming, the stylist spoke out with a dark look on his face. How dare these tiny gangs try to harm his beautiful boss when he is away? Now that he's back, he can't wait to sabotage them.

Everyone looked at Gui Zhongming and nod their heads in agreement. Black Dragon's leader is an old acquaintance of their boss's father. Not only that, their is a story being the Black Dragon brothers.

Liu Shan looks at everyone then at the wall clock. Standing up from his chair, he reminds everyone.

”We'll discuss this another time. A certain someone is arriving. Also, the fashion show is coming up, once boss gets here, everything with proceed to her designs.”

Finishing his words, he walks towards the door with Lin Hui following behind him. Grabbing the door knob, he frown and swung it open.

”Ahh—-!”

A woman's voice shrieks as she stumbles onto the floor. Everyone turn to look at the woman and their eyes darken. Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear.

Liu Shan tilt his head and he scoffed lowly, ”Miss Ming, its unusual to see you here this early.”

”I-I—”

Ming Yue was so shocked, her body was shivering in fear. Even her words to answer were stuck in her throat.

She had arrived an hour ago, she saw Lin Hui and tried to follow him. However, she didn't think he'd go into the conference room.

What shocked her the most was that the entire design team was also there. Didn't Chen Limei say she took care of the people Yue Ling sent to Milan?

She didn't think much into it and decided to listen to their conversation. However, when the door closed, she then realized that she couldn't hear a single word from the other side. Even when she pressed her ear against the door, there was still no sound.

After a long while, the door suddenly swung open and she was caught off guard.

Liu Shan looked down at the woman. Not showing a change in expression, he walks away without giving a hand. Behind him, Lin Hui didn't even look at Ming Yue, he avoided her like she was some kind pest.

Ming Yue glare at the two men that ignored her and didn't bother to help her. Her hands clench into tight fists.

Everyone else in the room glance at each other before standing from their chairs. Since Ming Yue is here, there's no need for them to stay here until their boss arrives.

Just like Liu Shan, no one bothered to help Ming Yue. Each person walked pass her without a single shred of care.

Sitting on the floor, Ming Yue lowerher head and gritted her teeth. Never has she been this humiliated before. Her status at De L'amour is superior than any of the people here, yet they disregarded her like trash. Angry, she quickly helps herself up. However, half way, a hand appears in front of her.

Ming Yue looks up and see a man with glasses. His looks were not as outstanding as Liu Shan and Lin Hui's but he had his own kind of charm.

Lifting her hand she place it on the man's hand and stands up. She pats away the dust on her clothes and her cheeks flush in embarrassment and shyness.

”Thank you, Qi Li.”

Qi Li stare at Ming Yue with a straight face. His hand reach into his pocket and takes out a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Ming Yue smiles inside. She bashfully stretch her hand and takes the handkerchief.

”I'm okay, I don't need the handker—-”

Before she could finish her words, her body froze and she was struck dumbfounded.

”....”

Qi Li had lowered his head and leisurely used the handkerchief to wipe his own hand. His gesture as if Ming Yue was a disease he wanted to sanitize away. When he finished, he toss the handkerchief into a trash bin and fix his glasses up.

”Miss Ming, I suggest you don't do anything that you will regret. Once it's done, it can't be undone.”

Not waiting for a reaction or response, Qi Li turns around and walked in the direction everyone had went. He only helped Ming Yue up because they were coworkers. If it wasn't because of that, he wouldn't even give the woman face.

”.....”
