1052 I“m Begging You! 2
Qi Lei squinted at Gu Lingsha. “Looks like it’s work then. Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I don’t want to talk about work now.”
As he was about to enter through the door, Gu Lingsha reached out to stop him. “Hold on! Okay, I’ll keep it short then. You should know how important the South River Project No. 1 is to Qi Kai. Fuhua has taken away the materials that I’ve negotiated for with Hua Heng. When I went over, I found out that Fuhua’s new CEO is actually Xi Xiaye! Have you known about this for a while now?”
Upon hearing that, Qi Lei’s gaze darkened. He stared at her fair hands that gripped his sleeves and did not answer her question. She met his gaze and took in all of his hostility, then she let go of him.
“The project you have doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me. In fact, we’re working in the same field. Shouldn’t you be having ears everywhere?” Qi Lei’s intentions were clear.
“Now isn’t the time to be looking into these things. The people from the government are going to be coming over for inspection of the project in the early stages soon. Right now, our materials can only last us till the day after tomorrow at most. Initially, I settled it with Hua Heng, so the materials should have been here by now. I think you wouldn’t want to see Qi Kai fall into such a predicament either, would you?”
“I don’t think I can help you with this one. After all, I’m not in charge of the materials!” Qi Lei answered calmly.
“No, you can help me! I know that Fuhua’s hoarded quite a bit of the supplies in City Z. She took the materials in City B from Hua Heng to develop the Movies and Television base with Glory World. However, based on what I know, Fuhua has long prepared for it, and they’re stored at Fuhua’s storeroom in City Z. Xi Xiaye’s only doing that because she wants to make life difficult for me. She wants to beg her, but I won’t!” Gu Lingsha insisted.
“So, you’re planning to get me to talk to Xi Xiaye and tell her to give you the materials?”
“Not give me, give Qi Kai! I already explained this to Uncle Qi, but I thought that perhaps I should look for you personally, so you won’t have any misunderstandings towards Uncle Qi. I’ve also begged Uncle Qi to get you to ask for these materials from Xi Xiaye. We’re willing to get them for a higher cost from her,” she frankly laid it all out.
“Get it from Xiaye? You underestimate me! If I don’t say yes to you today, are you planning on letting me go?”
“Yes! If you won’t agree, Uncle Qi will look for you personally, and those shareholders will highly recommend you to him too. You’re a part of Qi Kai, so you should be well aware that if Uncle Qi asks you to do this, you’ll have to do it. I just didn’t want this incident to make your relationship fall into a tough situation again. That’s why I came here today. Consider this as me begging you to help me out with this! For the sake of our past relationship, this request shouldn’t be too hard for you!”
Gu Lingsha’s eyes were sincere. She knew very well that the Qi Lei right now was far different from before. He would not take either approach, only by conversing like this, he might accept.
For the sake of their past relationship? The words flashed in Qi Lei’s mind, and a mocking curve lifted at the corner of his mouth. “If I agree to this one thing, will all our past come to an end and you won’t bring it up to me again?” To her shock, his aloof eyes were fixed on her.
Then, a light flashed in her eyes as she nodded without hesitating. “Yes! If you agree to me this one time, I’ll never bring up the past again! You’re just Qi Lei, the Second Master of the Qi family while I’m your brother’s wife, your sister-in-law. Are you happy now?”
Qi Lei smiled calmly and nodded. “Yes, I agree to talk to Xiaye, but from today onwards, we don’t owe each other anything anymore.”
“Alright, that’s settled then!” Gu Lingsha answered firmly without a hint of hesitation.
The smile on the corner of Qi Lei’s mouth suddenly turned downward. “Turns out that’s all that was to you. Gu Lingsha, you’re the same as Qi Feng! I’m suddenly a little grateful. I’m thankful that we didn’t have fate back then. Otherwise, right now…”
He did not continue as he took large steps forward and walked past her coldly.
Gu Lingsha’s expression turned pale at that instant. She subconsciously whipped around to look at Qi Lei who had walked towards the door, suddenly feeling a little dejected. After struggling for a while, she then suddenly shouted to him, “Qi Lei, I’m getting married to Qi Feng soon. The wedding will be next week on Sunday. I hope that you’ll be able to make time and come home…”
“That’s your home, not mine. My home…” Qi Lei suddenly stopped to look up at the silent villa before him and continued softly, “My home is right here. Don’t worry. Even if I can’t be there, my gift will be.”
With that, his tall figure vanished through the doorway.
“Qi Lei!” Gu Lingsha could not help but call out to him, but he did not answer.
“Manager Gu, I think you should go home first. Master Qi’s just landed and he’s very tired. You have to be considerate about him too!” Yang Sheng could not help saying because he began to feel the injustice on behalf of Qi Lei.
When Gu Lingsha heard his appeal, her expression froze.
Bam!
The door closed hard, slamming on Gu Lingsha’s heart.
Bam!
Thud!
The lights in the villa had just lit up when Yang Sheng, who followed his boss from behind, immediately heard the sound of things being tossed. Then came the sound of ceramic shattering. He quickly walked up and noticed that the two decorative vases on the rack by the porch had already shattered to pieces all over the floor.
Qu Lei looked calmly at the mess before him, then slowly took off his coat before hurling it to the ground. “Tidy up a little, then prepare dinner,” he said bitterly and went upstairs.
Yang Sheng could not help but call out softly, “Master Qi…”
“Call me again when dinner’s ready. I’m sure that I’ll be able to defeat that Swift Snowy on the ranks. Only I have the right to be your husband!” Qi Lei snapped before he seemed to trudge upstairs, full of fighting spirit!
Swift Snowy?
The right to be someone’s husband?
Upon hearing this, Yang Sheng remembered that Master Qi seemed to be quite addicted to a game. He even heard that he fancied the number one mysterious master of the service area whom he kept calling his wife!
