Chapter 30.2: His Heart

So he sat down where he was and looked at Cen Ning silently.

The cabbage that he has raised for so many years is going to be taken by the pigs outside? (TLN: He had raised Cen Ning, but now she is going to be with someone else)

Yan Xingzhi leaned back, a hint of mockery flashed across his cold brows.

He has never paid attention to the engagement matter by his family, and he has always been willing to give her the freedom to choose.

What he thought was willing. But he didn’t expect that when he saw that the person who he protected as she grew up chose someone else, he was in really a bad mood, so bad beyond words.

Half an hour later, Yan Xingzhi took Cen Ning back.

Sleeping here was not a smart thing.

Cen Ning was too tired today, and she hasn’t recovered yet. “Huh?”

“Go back home to sleep, if you sleep here, how can the employees close to the restaurant?”

Cen Ning’s pupils tightened as if awakened from a dream. “Gege…”

Yan Xingzhi’s footsteps became stagnant and replied with an “mhm?”.

“I accidentally fell asleep.”

“Yes, and you snored.”

“…”

“It affected business, and the customers next door almost came over.”

“…”

She always believed what Yan Xingzhi said. Cen Ning was so embarrassed that she blushed and wanted to come down. Yan Xingzhi’s smile in his eyes flashed away, and he let go of her and put her down.

“When Aunt Wei asks you why you came back so late, just say that you went to a party with me.”

“Oh.”

On the way home, Cen Ning thought of Bai Yi, hesitated for a moment and asked, “Did you ask Meng Peiyan before contacting Bai Yi?”

Yan Xingzhi looked straight ahead and denied it.

Cen Ning was a little surprised. “Why?”

“What do you mean, why?”

“I thought you would ask her first… Is it really because she was busy?” Cen Ning laughed embarrassedly. “Actually, I contacted her before, and her assistant picked it up, but her assistant said no at that time. “

“Other than Meng Peiyan, there are many other people who are suitable for your magazine feature.” Yan Xingzhi turned to look at her. “It’s not that it must be her.”

Cen Ning paused for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The next day, when Cen Ning went to work, she was pulled aside by a colleague.

“Ningning, I know it might be a little late to tell you this, but… But I’m uneasy. I’ve decided again and again that it’s better to talk to you.”

Cen Ning: “What’s the matter?”

“It’s about Meng Peiyan’s photos from yesterday. I saw someone entering the studio. I only saw her enter, but I don’t know what she did. I didn’t think much about it at the time…”

Cen Ning frowned. “Who?”

“Liu Xin.”

“Liu Xin?” Cen Ning was shocked, but after the shock, it became clear again, because, after yesterday, she was not surprised that Liu Xin could do this.

“Ningning, do you want to tell Mr Xue?”

Cen Ning had never caused trouble, but this matter was very important. She didn’t want her superiors to think that she had neglected her duties because of someone else sabotaging her.

If it hadn’t been for Yan Xingzhi yesterday, and it wasn’t for Bai Yi, then she would have been fired.

And the person who did this was just to push her to this point!

“Will you be a witness for me?”

“Me?” The colleague looked hesitant, “Ningning, we don’t have any evidence. I’m afraid it’s useless after we say it.”

Cen Ning knew that this was difficult for her colleague. Indeed, how could she prove that Liu Xin did this? There weren’t even any cameras there.

“Okay.”

“I’m sorry, Ningning.”

“It’s fine. You’re willing to tell me about this. It’s good.”

In the workplace, when things don’t threaten their interests, everyone has the thought process of causing no trouble is better than causing trouble. Everyone wanted to protect themselves. That was reasonable.

Cen Ning knew that her relationship with the colleague in front of her was not good enough for them to help her.

Cen Ning: “I will find a way myself.”

“Mhm… But it doesn’t matter if it really can’t be proved. Yesterday’s matter has been resolved very well. Thanks to you, we could photograph Bai Yi.”

Cen Ning smiled and said nothing.

One matter is one matter, and those who do wrong will have to pay the price.
