Chapter 26: Taking the Blame

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wang Li and Shen Kai were still in shock. Just as they were about to turn around and scold Song Ting, they saw that Song Ting’s face was already darker than the bottom of a pot.

The two of them exchanged a look, but neither dared to speak. Wang Li continued to drive in silence.

They had known Song Ting for quite some time. There were only two situations when he became particularly angry. One was when he spoke to you in an extremely gentle manner, which only meant that he was even more furious. The other was when he directly expressed his emotions, indicating that the other party had already provoked him.

Just as Shen Kai was thinking of making a joke to lighten the mood, he suddenly heard Song Ting say, “Cigarette.”

Wang Li was the first to react and threw the cigarette and lighter from his pocket over to him.

Shen Kai didn’t dare say a word and quietly opened the window. Song Ting didn’t normally smoke, so this meant that something was bothering him. It seemed like a serious matter.

He wanted to know what could have made CEO Song so upset, but he didn’t have the courage to ask.

Even though Song Ting had started smoking, he was still very unhappy.

The lawyer had told him that he couldn’t get in touch with the woman, and she wasn’t answering his calls. What did that mean?

The thought of not being able to divorce her quickly made Song Ting feel even more uneasy.

He picked up the phone and called the lawyer again. “You have three days to contact her. If you can’t reach her by phone, then go to her place and track her down. I don’t care what methods you use, you must contact her! Otherwise, you can just get lost!”

He took out his personal phone and sent a text message to Chu Yi, then threw his phone on the seat.

“Chu Yi, do you want to check your phone? It keeps ringing.” Tian Peng had heard the phone ring more than ten times, but Chu Yi was too drunk and did not answer the phone.

Tian Peng reminded her a few more times before Chu Yi opened her eyes and reached for her phone again.

She picked up the phone and saw that there were indeed more than a dozen missed calls, but they were all from unfamiliar numbers. She furrowed her brows and said, “It’s nothing. They’re probably all harassing calls. The boss has gone back, so no one will look for me.”

Then she blocked all the phone numbers and deleted the text messages without even looking at them.

Chu Yi, who had drunk too much the day before and almost arrived late to work, saw Song Ting with a stern face when she arrived at the company.

Chu Yi looked at Wang Lin in confusion, and the latter raised her eyebrows and had a helpless expression.

Chu Yi immediately understood that he must have something to do with Madam. No one else could make the CEO look like this.

Suddenly, Chu Yi also felt sympathy for her boss. As the CEO of Song Corporation, he seemed to be bullied by his wife all the time. It was quite tragic.

This might be the so-called one thing conquering another.

When Song Ting saw Chu Yi’s disheveled hair and thought of her name “Chu Yi,” he became a little unhappy.

He picked up his personal phone and called again, but he didn’t expect the other person to have already blocked him.

“Chu Yi!” This time, Song Ting threw the phone onto the office door with a loud bang, startling Chu Yi, and Wang Lin.

Wang Lin gave Chu Yi a signal, and Chu Yi nervously walked into the office.

“CEO, did you call for me?” Chu Yi didn’t dare to step forward. She looked at the broken phone on the ground and felt that if she wasn’t careful, she would end up the same way.

Song Ting’s anger had not subsided yet, and his eyes were still a bit red. “Who let you in?”

Seeing him like this, Chu Yi didn’t dare to say anything more. She silently picked up the phone pieces and put them on the nearby coffee table.

Seeing Chu Yi’s fearful expression, Song Ting adjusted his mood, but he still couldn’t suppress his anger.

“You, go and compile all the performance reports of each department from last year for me. You have two hours.”

“Huh?” Chu Yi was a little speechless. Why did he need the performance reports of all the departments, and from the previous year at that?

“What ‘huh’? I told you to go, so hurry up!” Song Ting didn’t give her any face.

Since he couldn’t see “Chu Yi”, he might as well mess around with this Chu Yi.

On the other hand, Chu Yi looked dejected. Why was it that every time the CEO and Madam quarreled, she was always the one who suffered?
