Chapter 324: That Girl Would Never Beg

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As soon as Chen Yichen got off the plane, his special assistant who’d picked him up with a car reported on the current situation.

“Before you left, the company ordered a thorough investigation of Yun Yuanfeng’s projects, probably in order to prepare for a promotion. Yun Yuanfeng seemed to have had many shady business dealings, and Liang Xiuqin went to the Jiang family to ask for help. Grandfather Jiang asked Second Young Master Jiang to help, but Second Young Master Jiang wouldn’t do anything, because he was probably waiting for Miss Yun to come and beg him for help.”

“That girl would never beg.” Chen Yichen sneered at the thought. “She didn’t come to ask for help when I was there, did she?”

He thought that since Grandpa had wanted to help, he would definitely have helped in the end, so he didn’t need to get involved.

Who would’ve expected that his cousin had tried to add fuel to the flames.

“In the end, I don’t know who gave the order, but they only checked the projects of the general manager. It didn’t affect Yun Yuanfeng at all, so he dodged a bullet.”

Chen Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly and they took on a grave expression. “Who gave that order?”

“I don’t know. There were too many people involved, so it wasn’t easy to check. However, Second Master Jiang has gotten very close to Miss Yun recently. I heard from the housekeeper that he has been drinking Chinese medicine prepared by Miss Yun recently, as well as giving up alcohol, sex, and going to nightclubs. He has been going to work punctually every day. Could it be him who helped?”

“Second Master Jiang has become this obedient?” Chen Yichen was a little surprised. “Yun Xi’s medical skills aren’t amateur. If she could cure the root of his disease, it would be a piece of cake for him to help her.”

“Today, I heard from the housekeeper that his knee no longer hurts when it snows, so it is probably cured.”

Chen Yichen nodded and chuckled to himself. “That’s good! Since he owes her such a big favor, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to pay her back in the future.”

“The problem with Li Sinuo has also been solved. The man who was involved with her isn’t some ordinary person. In order not to startle the snake, we didn’t continue to investigate. This is the man’s information.”

Chen Yichen looked at the man who’d been profiled and frowned slightly. “Let’s not involve him at the moment, lest the girl gets burned in the crossfire.”

“Yes, sir.” The special assistant answered and continued, “Ms. Yun came to the house a few days ago and checked on your mother’s coughing illness. She’s been taking the medicine Yun Xi prescribed for a week now and her cough has been cured. Your dad said that when you come back, you need to thank Miss Yun properly.”

“All right. What about the fish that I asked you to send over?”

“This…” The special assistant raised her head and one could see she felt a little embarrassed, even sad. It took her a moment to spill out the truth under Chen Yichen’s intimidating eyes.

“The two fish that you sent to Yun Xi were poisoned by Yun Ziling the day they were sent. A lot of salt was poured into the fish tank. Auntie said that the two fish couldn’t be saved… Miss Yun was so angry that she wouldn’t eat dinner that night…”

The housekeeper for the Yun family was basically like a private eye for them, and she helped take care of Yun Xi.

After all, there was no difference between having and not having a mom when you were talking about Liang Xiuqin.

In that family, Yun Xi was alone and helpless, so she had to have someone who watched out for her.

“Got it.”

“By the way, tomorrow is winter solstice, which will also be Miss Yun’s birthday.”

“Do I need you to remind me?” Chen Yichen glared at the special assistant.

Turning his head to look at the birthday gift he’d brought back, his handsome face grew a little softer.

The assistant quietly shut up. Her boss really had that girl on his mind all the time.

…

It snowed heavily on the day of the winter solstice. Yun Xi got up early in the morning and looked at the small balcony outside her window. There was a thick layer of snow on the railings.

Pushing open the door, she grabbed a handful of snow, made it into a ball, and threw it onto the old tree nearby.

The snowflakes fell down the tree, and the sound seemed especially jarring because the snow was full of ice.

Today was her birthday.

In her last life, there weren’t many people who would remember her birthday, so she didn’t expect it in this life.

She changed her clothes, washed, and went downstairs. She thought that when she passed by the cake shop after class, she would buy herself a cake to celebrate her first birthday since her rebirth.

As soon as she came downstairs, the housekeeper saw her and yelled at the top of her lungs: “Miss, come here! Today is your birthday and the winter solstice. I made dumplings for you. You can eat some now and more later!”
