Didi didi—
The sound of honking the horn kept ringing, but Xia Yanxi couldn't hear it at all. She was still immersed in the fear of Gu Yanyan following her like a shadow.
Just when the white car had no time to brake and was about to hit Xia Yanxi, a slender figure suddenly rushed over. He picked up Xia Yanxi from the ground and quickly avoided the impact of the car.
The owner of the white car stopped and was obviously frightened by the scene. He opened the window and cursed for a while before leaving.
Xia Yanxi recovered from the panic that Gu Yanyan had caused her. She raised her eyes and looked at the man who was rolling around on the ground holding her in his arms. Her pupils shrank hard.
"Why is it you?" Xia Yanxi got up from him, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Bai Wenxuan stood up from the ground. He looked at the haggard Xia Yanxi, his amber eyes full of concern, "I'm fine, but you, how did you end up like this?"
Xia Yanxi bit her lip and said nothing.
Bai Wenxuan pulled Xia Yanxi aside and looked her up and down. Her thin and haggard look was really distressing, "If I hadn't happened to pass by here just now, you would have been hit by a car. Do you know?"
Xia Yanxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for saving me just now."
Bai Wenxuan clasped Xia Yanxi's slender shoulders and sighed, "Yan Xi, can we talk for a while?"
Xia Yanxi pushed Bai Wenxuan's hand away. She took a few steps back. After keeping her distance from him, she said softly, "What else do you and I have to talk about?"
"Yan Xi, I don't want to talk about anything else today. I just want to talk to you about Qiao Yanli."
Xia Yanxi frowned and looked at Bo Wenxuan with a puzzled expression, "What are you talking about him for? Bo Wenxuan, do you want to say anything bad about him?"
Bai Wenxuan looked at Xia Yanxi who was so protective of Qiao Yanli. He felt a pain in his chest and pursed his lips feebly, "There is a cafe in front, let's go sit there!"
Xia Yanxi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay!"
…
In the cafe.
Xia Yanxi held a cup of black coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste was just like her mood at the moment.
Bai Wenxuan was still staring at her, and she said impatiently, "Stop looking at me all the time. If you have anything to say, say it quickly!"
Her current attitude towards her is really without any affection, worse than a stranger. Bai Wenxuan smiled bitterly, who can blame her? It's his own fault!
"Do you know about our shareholders' meeting a few days ago?"
Xia Yanxi nodded, "I know."
"I was not elected chairman, Bai Wenqing was elected."
This result surprised Xia Yanxi. In her impression, Bai Baitao still loved Bai Wenxuan, even though he caused many scandals.
Xia Yanxi wanted to ridicule Bai Wenxuan. Who made him treat her so badly before? But when the words came to his lips, he changed to, "If you work harder, maybe your dad and shareholders will support you again at the next shareholders' meeting!"
"My dad was arrested and taken to the police station."
Xia Yanxi was startled, "Why?"
"Bibbing high-ranking bankers, colluding with the city's gangs, and laundering money for others. Anyway, there are a lot of charges. It is estimated that the sentence will be more than twenty years."
Xia Yanxi, "..."
"Do you know that Bai Wenqing was able to become the chairman of the board and my father was arrested? Who was the instigator behind the scenes?"
Xia Yanxi frowned, a bad premonition rising in her heart, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"It's your husband, Qiao Yanli."
