The more Qi Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. His face turned even redder.

Seeing this, Lu Fen patted Ye Shu’s arm with her hand. “Look, is he having a fever?”

“He’s not warm…” Ye Shu felt a little strange.” Why don’t we bring him to the hospital later? “

At that, Qi Chen immediately became alert. “I don’t want to go to the hospital! I want to go to school!”

Ye Shu and Lu Fen looked at each other with even more disbelief on their faces.

Qi Chen was afraid that Ye Shu and Lu Fen would become even more suspicious. He rushed into his room, grabbed his bag, and ran out.

Ye Shu grabbed Qi Chen’s collar and looked at his blushing face. “I’ve already applied for leave for you.”

“Rest well at home today.”

“Is there something you wish to tell grandma?”

“Let’s talk when I come back.”

Qi Chen gulped nervously. “Can’t I go to school?”

Ye Shu raised her eyebrows. “You really want to go to school?”

Qi Chen thought for a while before backtracking, “No!”

When she heard Qi Chen’s reply, Ye Shu’s expression changed slightly.

She squatted down and faced Qi Chen. “I know you don’t like going to school, but this is a rite of passage that everyone has to go through.”

“What happened yesterday was my fault. If you’re unhappy, talk to me about it later, okay?”

Qi Chen stared into her eyes.

This was the first time since he was born that someone had spoken to him face to face.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable and at ease.

Qi Chen nodded. “Alright! I understand! I’ll be good!”

After receiving the promise, Ye Shu finally felt less troubled and uneasy.

She picked up her bag and kissed Qi Chen on the forehead before saying goodbye to Lu Fen and leaving for work.

Yesterday, Ye Xun almost got lost because she had gone to meet Mu Xiao. This made Ye Shu panic all night.

Although Ye Xun was a little strange this morning, he was safe and sound. Ye Shu’s worry also eased a little. Her questions could only be confirmed when she came back tonight.

Ye Shu had just entered the office when he saw Qiao Heng walking over quickly.

“Assistant Qiao, are you looking for me?” Ye Shu looked at Qiao Heng who had already walked up to her and asked nervously.

What happened that night made Ye Shu suspect that Qiao Heng was behind all this.Obviously, he was in the same boat as Manager Tang.However, whether CEO Xing knew about this matter or not, Ye Shu still couldn’t be sure.

“Follow me,” Qiao Heng said simply and led Ye Shu to the guest room.

Ye Shu followed Qiao Heng and left. She heard the discussions of her colleagues.

“Don’t tell me he’s going to start with Ye Shu because of the investment project?”

“I heard that Manager Tang was involved in this.”

“Wasn’t Assistant Qiao the one who helped Manager Tang with his referral?”

“It looks like Assistant Qiao is avenging Manager Tang.”

“What kind of grudges do you have?! It’s because of you guys that office politics became like harem politics!”

“You don’t understand! Isn’t this drama entertaining?”

“Close the door.” Ye Shu walked into the meeting room and heard Qiao Heng’s order.

Ye Shu closed the door and cut off the discussion outside.

“Have a seat,” Qiao Heng said as he sat down in his office chair.

“Why is Assistant Qiao looking for me?” Ye Shu didn’t sit down but asked directly.

Qiao Heng glanced at Ye Shu and said, “You know that this investment project concerns our company’s future development.”

“Manager Tang did do something that made you feel uncomfortable, but we did it for the sake of the company.”

“I’m looking for you today because I hope you can understand him.”

“Besides, nothing serious has happened to you, right?”

As Qiao Heng spoke, he seemed to be suggesting that he had arranged for her to sleep with CEO Qi that day just for the sake of the company.

Ye Shu frowned and looked at Qiao Heng with more doubt.

“Are you interceding on behalf of Manager Tang? I don’t think I have the ability to help Manager Tang!”

Qiao Heng noted Ye Shu’s unwillingness to cooperate and gritted his teeth. He forced out a smile and said, “Look, CEO Xing has always been clear about rewards and punishments.”

“After President Xing found out about this incident, he was furious and Manager Tang was forced to leave the company. I don’t wish for this matter to continue spreading and cause a negative impact..”
