200 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (11)

“Mr. Xue? Mr. Xue?”

The secretary called twice in a row before Xue Xue came back from his thoughts.

“Are you okay? Feeling not in a good state of mind? Are you too tired? How about I ask Dr. Jiang to come over and take a look at you?”

Several questions were thrown out in succession, making Xue Xue laugh.

The secretary’s surname was Chen, who was exactly two years older than Xue Li. He was originally an assistant sent by Xue Liansong to help her familiarize herself with the company’s operations. Later, Xue Li won over the person. As Xue Li took over the entire group, although Secretary Chen still held the title of secretary, as Xue Li’s confidant, his status was naturally extraordinary.

However, Secretary Chen is really devoted to Xue Li.

His daughter is even two years older than Xue Li. To Secretary Chen, Xue Li is like his own daughter.

Therefore, Xue Li didn’t care about his over-the-top concerns, and naturally neither did Xue Xue.

“It’s okay, I just thought of something.”

“Is everything okay?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s good. Recently, the company…sigh.” Secretary Chen stopped what he was about to say. After thinking about it, he realized that it was inappropriate to mention it based on his own identity.”By the way, I just received a call from Director Luo, asking you to have dinner with me tonight.”

Hearing this, Xue Xue turned his pen for a moment.

Director Luo?

Xue Xue searched for information about the other party in his mind and learned that this Luo Dong was a hero among women. He was an industrialist in his late fifties. Although his company size was not comparable to that of Laiyao, it was one of the best in the city.

The important thing is that Laiyao currently has an investment case that is closely related to Director Luo’s company.

Thinking of this, the rejection that Xue Xue was about to say got stuck in his throat, which was uncomfortable.

“Mr. Xue?”

Xue Xue rubbed her temples with a headache. She did not forget that she had an appointment with Chi Yu.

“What time?”

“At seven o’clock, in the VIP room in Zuoshe.”

“Well…” Xue Xue pondered for a moment and finally nodded.”Call Director Luo back for me. I will arrive on time. Thank you for the invitation.”

“Okay.”

After Secretary Chen left, Xue Xue decided to call Chi Yu directly.

The man picked up the call after two rings.

“Xue Xue?”

Even though they were separated by the microphone, Xue Xue felt as if the man’s voice was coming from against his eardrums, which made his scalp numb.

“Chi Yu, are you in the coffee shop now?”

“Yes.” Chi Yu’s tone was casual.”My girlfriend also has to work on weekends, so I have no choice but to return to work.”

This was said calmly, but Xue Xue could hear a trace of sadness in it and couldn’t help but laugh.

“I can’t help it.” Xue Xue slowed down her speech.”By the way, I have something to tell you.”

“Huh?”

“I may not be able to go home and have dinner with you tonight.” At this point, Xue Xue paused.”A very important client called to invite me to dinner. As you know, I have encountered some situations in the company recently… Anyway, I want to take this opportunity to have a detailed talk with him.”

After Xue Xue explained clearly in a few words, he waited quietly for Chi Yu to speak.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Xue Xue relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair, waiting patiently.

Only she knows that this is a test.

The reason for being dazed just now was because of this matter.

Although there was no evidence, thinking about what he later read from the system about the crazy things Chi Yu did after Xue Li’s death, Xue Xue felt that there might be something wrong with the other party’s mental state.

Of course, encountering an accident can cause a person’s temperament to change drastically. Xue Li felt that she had to bear a large part of the responsibility, and she probably believed that Chi Yu started to darken little by little from her concealment and finally went on the road of no return. However, after spending most of the day with Chi Yu, other thoughts emerged in Xue Xue’s mind.

To be more precise, it’s another possibility.

What if Chi Yu had some mental problems to begin with?

What if Xue Li is not the cause, but just the fuse that completely exposes the dark side of Chi Yu’s heart?It is impossible to live without encountering any problems in life, but there are not many people who solve problems as extreme as Chi Yu.

That’s why Xue Xue made a bold guess in his heart.

Perhaps Chi Yu’s mental condition was already problematic, so he treated Xue Li like that in the next two years, and after Xue Li passed away due to an accident, he took revenge measures that would kill both the jade and the stone.

In Xue Xue’s view, those methods were no longer things that normal people would do, but the behavior of wild beasts. There was no reason at all and they were all based on instinct.

If Chi Yu really changed his temperament because of his distrust of his lover, then as long as she stays with Chi Yu and keeps an eye on him, the mission can theoretically make effective progress, but if not… she will have to find another way to do it.

After reorganizing his thoughts, Xue Xue found that Chi Yu still didn’t speak. If he hadn’t heard the other party’s suppressed breathing, Xue Xue would have almost thought that he had left.

Just when Xue Xue was wondering whether he should give a reminder, Chi Yu’s voice came through the microphone again.

Slowly, the words drag out for a long time.

Xue Xue’s eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Because of Chi Yu’s empty tone without any emotion, even if he wasn’t face to face, he could feel a lifeless coldness.

“Okay, it’s okay.”

Xue Xue entered the private room and realized that what Director Luo wanted to talk to her today might not be business matters, but private matters.

What we thought was a dinner conversation between two people unexpectedly turned out to be an extra person.

“Xue Li, you are here!”

Luo Dong seemed particularly enthusiastic and hugged Xue Xue without even saying hello.

Xue Xue Luoluo responded with a hug generously.

“Come, sit down first, sit down first.” After letting Xue Xue sit down, Luo Dong smiled happily.”We were discussing what to order. You came just in time. Please make a decision for me and Ziqian.”

“Ah, look at my temper. I haven’t introduced you to you yet.” Luo Dong pointed at the man sitting opposite Xue Xue.”This is my nephew, Lin Ziqian.”

Xue Xue looked at the man who was also looking at him at this time. He was about twenty years old, handsome and well-groomed.

“Hello, I’m Lin Ziqian.”

The man stretched out his hand, and Xue Xue held it and then quickly let go.

“Hello, I’m Xue Li.”
