The Crippled Boss Loves Me - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Childhood Sweethearts

Cheng Songyang calmed the emotions in his heart. Then, he pretended to be worried and frowned. “Cousin, you haven’t been to the company at all during this period, so the shareholders have had some complaints about this. Even though I have explained on your behalf many times, everyone can’t really accept it…” he sighed softly. “The shareholders have raised the issue on the CEO position for the Ji Corporation…”

Halfway through his words, Cheng Songyang seemed to have thought of something but he covered it up with a smile. He said, “Sigh, why am I saying all these for? Cousin, don’t take all these to heart. Don’t worry, the company will have no problems with me around.”

When Shen Hanxing heard Cheng Songyang’s words, her fingers could not help but clench into fists. If Ji Yan had been taking those drugs and had fallen into a depressed and extreme state, what would his reaction have been when he heard Cheng Songyang utter these words that have a hidden meaning behind them? Would he lose his cool on the spot? And would he become even more disappointed with his life after being agitated? Would he become even more self-loathing and choose to end his life?

Shen Hanxing’s beautiful eyes were filled with coldness. If she could, she really wanted to punch this man to death!

Sensing her emotions, Ji Yan’s heart was filled with warmth. He silently held Shen Hanxing’s hand and shook his head at her.

“Cheng Songyang, what are you doing here?” At that moment, an unfamiliar female voice sounded. A well-proportioned woman in a shoulder-revealing black evening gown came over, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

Bai Youyou walked to Cheng Songyang’s side and her gaze fell on Ji Yan. She regarded him with a complicated expression. She asked, “You…Are you Brother Yan?”

Brother Yan? This ambiguous and pretentious address made Shen Hanxing raise her eyebrows, and her lips curled up meaningfully.

Ji Yan’s reaction was very cold. “You are?”

“Brother Yan, don’t you remember me?” Bai Youyou was a little excited, and she stepped forward in her high heels. Her eyes were slightly red as she continued, “I-I am Youyou. Have you forgotten? When you were young, you even promised to marry me when I grow up!” As she said that, she ignored propriety and squatted in front of Ji Yan’s wheelchair.

“Wow,” Shen Hanxing laughed lightly. Her gaze swept past Cheng Songyang, whose face instantly darkened. Then, Shen Hanxing said meaningfully, “You guys were even childhood sweethearts.”

For a moment, no one knew who was more humiliated.

“I don’t remember.” Ji Yan’s attitude was very cold. It seemed like he was facing a stone and not a beautiful woman. “Stay away from me. I am allergic to perfume.”

Ji Yan avoided Bai Youyou’s outstretched hand, avoiding her as if she was a plague. Bai Youyou’s expression was unsightly as she stood still.

“Miss Bai’s family has been developing their business abroad for the past few years. She happened to follow her father back to the country this time.” Cheng Songyang adjusted his expression and thoughtfully went forward to help Bai Youyou up. He gently explained, “The Bai family is planning to return to the country to develop their business. You haven’t been paying attention to these things recently so it’s normal that you don’t know about this, Cousin.”

“Brother Yan…” Bai Youyou bit her lip as though she had suffered a great blow. Tears were about to fall out of her eyes.

It made Ji Yan look like a heartless heartbreaker.

Bai Youyou’s voice was a little tearful. She said in a low voice, “When I was abroad, I have always missed you, Brother Yan. It’s okay if you don’t remember me. I will visit you often in the future!” Her eyes had been glued to Ji Yan. Her fixated gaze was indescribably touching and showed how deeply in love she was with him.

Unfortunately, Ji Yan was not moved at all. He rejected her with a cold expression, “There’s no need. My wife is very busy and has no time to receive you.”

Bai Youyou finally woke up from her dream. She raised her head and looked at Shen Hanxing. Her face turned pale and she bit her lips in embarrassment. Even so, she still stubbornly pursed her lips, she expressed her determination. She said, “It’s okay. I’m not going to look for Mrs. Ji. I’m going to look for you, Brother Yan.”

Was Bai Youyou treating Shen Hanxing like she did not exist?

Shen Hanxing did not want to argue with Bai Youyou. Seeing that Bai Youyou was getting more and more unreasonable, Shen Hanxing could not help but laugh icily. She said, “It’s a pity that Mr. Ji doesn’t have time to receive you either.” Shen Hanxing interlocked her fingers with Ji Yan’s. Then, she shook their interlocked hands at Bai Youyou. She continued, “Mr. Ji’s free time has been taken up by me. Outside of work, he has to spend all his time with me. He doesn’t have time to entertain others.”

“You!” Bai Youyou widened her eyes. She was so angry that her chest rose and fell. “How can you be so insensible! Brother Yan is a person who will go on to accomplish great things. How can you selfishly occupy his time and restrict his interpersonal relationships? You are too much!”

Their interlocked hands were like knives stabbing into her heart, causing her whole body to be in pain. This was the man that she wanted to marry since she was young, he was the Prince Charming of her dreams!
