"I'm just asking. If you don't want to answer, that's okay."
After saying that, Ji Siyue couldn't help but hang up the phone.
After a while, that number called again.
"Explain yourself. What do you mean?"
"I'm just asking you. When you sent the contract, did you really not care about what I did to you in the past and only wanted to talk about work? In other words, you don't care about me anymore, right?" Ji Siyue had been in the business world for more than two years. Regarding such things, she knew that beating around the bush would only cause misunderstandings. It was better to ask straightforwardly and save her last bit of pride.
"What do you think?"
"If you don't care about me anymore, why did you go to such great lengths to find me? You sealed off the whole company to make me fall into your trap. When I sold the house, you even sent someone to follow Qingying."
At that time, Qin Chengyao didn't think in that direction. If he had taken one more step, Ji Siyue might have been exposed, and there wouldn't have been so many subsequent disturbances.
"Hehe, did you call me in the middle of the night just because of this?" There was a hint of mockery in Qin Chengyao's voice.
Ji Siyue could hear it and could only endure it reluctantly.
"Yes." She replied bravely.
"Let me tell you. First, I'm the leader of a company. I can't abandon the basic principles of a leader because of someone. Second, the reason I'm looking for you is that I just want one thing."
"What thing?"
"An explanation."
Ji Siyue's eyes widened suddenly.
He continued, "I just want an explanation. Tell me why you left without saying a word back then, leaving us, leaving GH, leaving our dreams, and going to a foreign country alone."
Ji Siyue couldn't bear to listen anymore and hung up the phone directly.
All the things Qin Chengyao counted on the phone were Ji Siyue's faults.
She closed her eyes, curled herself into a ball, and tears fell involuntarily.
"I'm damned. I'm damned. It was me who left you. It's all my fault, my fault..."
The next day, there was a hasty knock on the door.
Ji Siyue was woken up. She woke up from the sofa, looking unhappy as she went to open the door.
When she opened the door, she saw her neighbor standing outside.
Looking at Ji Siyue's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You look like you've slept on the floor all night!"
Ji Siyue noticed that Xiao Zhang was holding two food containers in his hand.
"Oh, this was given to me by my admirer. The food she made is really delicious. I thought you were sick. Do you want some?"
Ji Siyue couldn't help but laugh and cry. "What do you mean by admirer?"
"To be precise, it's Admirer No. 5."
Ji Siyue was amused by his words. "You can't even remember her name, but you're taking her stuff and giving it to me to eat?"
"Anyway, I don't feel like eating today. It would be a waste to throw it away. I'm a chivalrous man who pities the fairer sex."
Ji Siyue shook her head helplessly, took the food containers, and walked back into the room without closing the door.
"Aren't you going to close the door?"
"Help me close it, or come in and eat with me."
"Wow, this girl is really bold." Xiao Zhang mumbled and then walked in.
Her room was the complete opposite of his.
His room had a motorcycle style, but hers was simply too simple. Even the furniture was in solid colors. It was hard to imagine that this was the room of a young single woman.
Looking at the dining area, Ji Siyue had already set out two bowls, opened the lunch boxes, and the aroma of small wontons wafted out. The other one contained some vegetarian buns.
Ji Siyue used chopsticks and a spoon to transfer the food out and said, "You eat first. I'll go wash my face. I'm so sleepy!"
Five minutes later, when Ji Siyue came out of the bathroom, Xiao Zhang was still sitting there without moving. He didn't start eating until she sat down opposite him.
"What? Were you waiting for me?"
"Yeah. This is the first time in two years that someone has invited me to have a meal together, so I'll wait for you."
Xiao Zhang said this casually, but it hit Ji Siyue right in the heart.
Thinking carefully, she seemed to have been eating alone for more than two years.
"Hehe, eat."
After they finished eating, Xiao Zhang asked, "How dare you let a man into your room? Don't do this in the future."
"You have at least five backup girlfriends, and you're still advising me?"
"I would never take advantage of a woman in distress. You, sister, clearly look like you're heartbroken. I don't dare to make a move. I can't afford to play!"
"How do you know I'm your sister?" Ji Siyue looked confused.
He pointed to the table behind. "Your ID card is on it. I happened to take a look. You were born in 1997, and I was born in 2000."
"Wow! I didn't expect that. I thought someone with such a rich love life wouldn't be this young."
"Age has nothing to do with love experience. Although I have backup girlfriends, I've never officially acknowledged a girlfriend. I'm still observing to see who's more suitable for me!"
Ji Siyue couldn't help but shake her head. "I can't understand you. You can go. I'll wash the dishes."
Xiao Zhang didn't insist. He nodded and then ran off.
Less than a minute later, when he came back, he threw a bag of stuff in through the doorway.
Ji Siyue went over and opened it. There were snacks, fruits, and a small bag of common medicine.
"Humph, this kid is so familiar so quickly?"
But he just said that he hadn't eaten with anyone for two years? He was only twenty this year. Two years ago, he was eighteen, just an adult. It seemed that he had experienced more than she had.
Ji Siyue adjusted herself and drove to the company.
After revising the contract, Ji Siyue sent it back to the Qin Group. At 12 noon, the contract was officially confirmed to be signed, and the signing date was the next day.
Qingying sorted out the documents. "Now you can go to the hospital, right? Your concussion still hasn't healed. Anyway, he's already found you. Delaying it is not good for your health and will also affect your work."
It was the last sentence that really convinced Ji Siyue.
"You're right. It'll affect my work. I need to make money!"
"Hehe, what are you going to spend all that money on?"
"Save it. I never want to live a life where I can't even earn enough money by washing dishes again. Go and order some food for me. I'll eat in the office."
"Okay."
After a simple meal, Ji Siyue started her afternoon work.
After work, she drove to the original hospital for a diagnosis.
The doctor was also very surprised by her condition.
"Most people can't hold on for this long. Don't you feel like vomiting?"
"Yeah, I feel dizzy and nauseous. Are these the side - effects of a concussion?"
"Yes. Looking at your X - ray, you must be hospitalized!"
