Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 227 [if] Why can't it be him

Sang Yu didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, "No, we broke up peacefully."

Xi Jinbai didn't say anything else, just hummed softly.

Sang Yu pushed the door and got out of the car, feeling something was odd but couldn't put his finger on it.

Xi Jinbai parked the car, took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Tang Yu: [The eldest lady wants to introduce you to someone, I know you don’t have that kind of interest, so I’ll help you reject the one you like. ]

After a while, Tang Yu replied: [Okay, thank you brother.]

Xi Jinbai's lips twitched slightly, he put away his phone and got out of the car.

The staff led them to the private room upstairs.

While ordering food, Ji Wanning suddenly received a phone call and looked unhappy.

Sang Yu asked worriedly, "Mommy, what's wrong?"

Ji Wanning stood up hastily and grabbed the bag on the chair. "I have to go back to the company to deal with some urgent matters. Sorry Jiang Yue, I'll ask you out next time and let Yu Yu eat with you."

Min Jiangyue nodded, "Okay, go slowly."

Ji Wanning hurriedly left the box in her high heels.

Sang Yu felt a little uneasy, but didn't want to disturb Min Jiangyue and Xi Jinbai's meal, so he didn't show his emotion.

"Don't worry, it's normal for the company to have emergencies. Auntie will handle it." Xi Jinbai comforted her.

Sang Yu raised his eyes and met his deep gaze. His heart was touched, and he lowered his eyes calmly, "Yeah."

Min Jiangyue found a topic to talk about: "Yu Yu will graduate next year, what are your plans for the future?"

“I want to open my own studio.”

"It's good to start your own business. Then your aunt will come to you to make custom clothes."

Sang Yu raised his lips and smiled, "Okay."

After dinner, Min Jiangyue insisted that Xi Jinbai take Sang Yu home, while she took a taxi back to the hotel.

Sang Yu couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

It took more than an hour to get back to Repulse Bay. She felt sleepy halfway and took a nap leaning back in her seat.

The sound of shallow breathing was heard.

Xi Jinbai slowed down the car and looked to the side from time to time.

At half past eight, a black Bentley stopped in front of Ji's house.

The little girl hasn't woken up yet.

The light shone on the left side of her face. If you got closer, you could even see the tiny hairs. She was quiet and well-behaved.

Xi Jinbai did not wake her up immediately. He turned sideways and stared at her sleeping face quietly.

Two years have passed, and he still hasn't been able to let it go, even though he knows she has a boyfriend.

Tried many times, all in vain.

No matter how strong his self-control is, he can't control his emotions.

The moment I heard her say break up in the afternoon, I felt relieved.

The person standing next to her can be someone else, so why not him?
Xi Jinbai reached out and brushed away the hair on her face as if possessed by a ghost. His fingertips rubbed across her delicate skin. The soft touch was better than anything else.

About ten minutes later, Sang Yu woke up slowly, his eyes were hazy, and his voice was vague: "Are we there yet?"

Xi Jinbai put his left hand on the steering wheel and whispered, "Well, I was just about to call you."

Sang Yu gradually came to his senses and unbuckled his seat belt. "Then I'll go back. Thank you for driving me back. Please drive carefully on the road."

"Ah."

Sang Yu was worried about Ji Wan Ning, so he sent her several messages to ask about her situation. He only received a reply before going to bed. She said she had to deal with work tonight and would not be going home.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling.

The next day, this hunch was confirmed.

The news of Ji's stock price falling appeared on the financial news station. [It is reported that there are internal conflicts in Ji's Jewelry Company. The audit found that about 6.5 million yuan of accounts receivable and inventory problems were suspected of being illegally occupied. The details are under further investigation...]

[As of today's midday close, Ji's Jewelry's share price has fallen to HK$9.7. In the past year, its market value has evaporated by more than HK$200 billion. ]

Sang Yu froze and his mind was in a daze.

How could this be?
She usually doesn't pay much attention to company affairs and doesn't understand these things at all.

Ji Zicheng put down the book in his hand, came over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Sang Yu clutched her phone tightly. "It's okay. Just do your homework. I'm going to go out for a while."

She hurriedly called the driver to prepare the car and go to the company.

I was very nervous all the way.

When she arrived at the company, the assistant told her that President Ji and President Qiao were in meetings and did not have time.

Sang Yu asked anxiously: "What happened? Will my dad and mom be okay?"

The assistant told the truth: "Miss, another senior executive of the company was suspected of illegally misappropriating the company's finances. The amount of deficit was huge and he has been arrested by the police for investigation."

He continued to explain: "In fact, the industry has not been prosperous in the past two years. Jewelry is not a necessary consumer product and is easily affected by the economic cycle. It has entered a weak period. In addition, the wholesale end is involved in the terminal market, disrupting the market order and causing vicious competition in the industry. Now we are facing such a thing, internal and external troubles..."

Sang Yu stood there in a daze.

She knew nothing and was of no help.

After staying in the company for more than an hour, I still didn't see Ji Wanning and Qiao Minghui, and finally left absent-mindedly.

For several days, the stock price continued to fall and the company was in chaos.

One night, Sang Yu passed by the study and heard Ji Wanning holding a video conference.

"Get an asset appraisal of all the real estate under my name, and use it as collateral for a mortgage to raise funds."

The person on the other end of the video reminded: "But Mr. Ji, this is too risky..."

Ji Wanning said in a deep voice: "I know, let's do it this way."

"……OK."

The video was hung up, and she leaned back tiredly on the leather chair, pressing her hands to her temples.

Sang Yu stood outside the door for a while, then returned to the bedroom in a daze.

Min Jiangyue took the opportunity of visiting Hong Kong Island to go to Ling'an Temple and ask the abbot about Xi Jinbai's marriage.

After explaining her purpose, the young monk led her to the room in the backyard.

Min Jiangyue asked respectfully, "Master, could you please help my son calculate when his marriage will come?"

The abbot asked his disciples to bring the divination cup, divination money and divination pen. He carefully calculated the divination. After a while, he picked up the divination pen and wrote the word "Yu" on the scripture paper.

The writing is vigorous and powerful.

Min Jiangyue was full of doubts, "Yu?"

The abbot explained: "The word 'Yu' is in my destiny, so I am about to meet you, and you will be a perfect match for me."

Min Jiangyue was stunned for a moment, and then a clear answer came to his mind. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

After leaving Ling'an Temple and returning to the hotel, she kept thinking about this matter.

The word "Yu" is in the destiny and it is right in front of us, isn't it Yu Yu?
She just happened to break up, so she and Xi Jinbai are a perfect match?
-
Sang Yu has been worried these days. Seeing Ji Wanning and Qiao Minghui working hard under tremendous pressure, while she can't help at all, an intense feeling of powerlessness surges in her heart.

In the afternoon, she was sitting on the terrace in a daze, when she was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of the cell phone on the table.

Caller ID: Xi Jinbai.

She picked up the phone and answered it. A deep and slightly magnetic voice came through the receiver: "Do you have time to meet and chat?"

Sang Yu was really in no mood and refused without thinking, "Sorry, I've been..."

Xi Jinbai interrupted her, "I know about Ji's matter. It's very easy to solve it."
