The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain

World Five. childhood sweetheart as ex-husband(33)

Xi Lang was currently in the company.

In fact, he hadn't stepped into the office for a long time, which was why those old directors were dissatisfied, and even Xi Quan, who had always indulged his son, was displeased.

As Yang Keqing testified that it was Master Hong who intended to kidnap people that day, and Xi Lang's last stick didn't really hit the vital point, so in the end, under Xi Quan's move, Xi Lang escaped imprisonment.

Although he was kept in custody for two weeks.

But to everyone's surprise, Xi Lang, after leaving the police station, was like a different person. He was silent and shrouded in a low mood, like a tree that had lost its vitality, giving people a shaky feeling of vulnerability.

At first, although the whole person did not feel right, at least his daily routine was still normal, but gradually, Xi Lang often spent all day alone in his apartment in the city, and only Xi Quan and his wife Huang Wenrou could see him.

This was a psychological problem, Xi Quan knew, but he has tried to persuade and even scold the person, moved with emotion and explained with reason, and directly tied people up, but there was no way for Xi Lang to accept the treatment willingly.

The effect was poor, almost ineffective.

Later, the therapist said, "The bell needs to be untied by the one who tied." [T/N: 解鈴還需系鈴人 (jiě líng hái xū xì líng rén): (idiom) He who ties the bell has to untie it himself; (meaning) Whoever creates a difficult situation must resolve it himself.]

But who was this bell person? Xi's parents were puzzled until Yang Keqing told them about the unexpected person: Xue Ning.

Speaking of Xue Ning, Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou looked at each other.

She used to be a child who grew up in their eyes and was as close to her as their own daughter. She was also their daughter-in-law for a short time, but in the end, because of Xi Lang's stubborness, their marriage was ruined, and because of this the good friendship of the Xue family and Xi family was no longer the same.

In the early years, Xi Quan and Xue Niande recognized each other as brothers. Later, Xue Niande worked in the Xi family for a long time, but later, with the emotional entanglement between the two juniors, the relationship faded a lot.

After Xue Niande came out to establish his own family, now the two families only get together at the Chinese New Year or other festivities.

Old Mr. Xi probably would not expect that his persistence would lead to such a situation in the future.

How much Xi Lang hated Xue Ning, Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou are the most clear, otherwise the relationship between the Xi family and the Xue family would not be so tense.

Now they were told that Xi Lang's knot in his heart was because of Xue Ning? The two only thought it was a fantasy.

"Really, please believe me." Yang Keqing clenched her hand on her lap. "The reason why Xi Lang was so impulsive was because that man drew a wound on Xue Ning's face!"

After Yang Keqing said this, Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou looked at each other and were shocked.

They didn't know about this. At that time, when the two of them got the news and rushed to the police station, Xi Lang had already finished his statement. Xi Quan only knew that Xi Lang was involved in this unfortunate thing in order to save people.

The target of the rescue was Xi Lang's secretary, Yang Keqing.

Because of this, Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou have always had a bad face towards Yang Keqing, especially when Huang Wenrou knew that her son even got into trouble for a woman and even went to the police station, she was in a mixed mood.

In all honesty, Xi Lang has always been the proud son of Huang Wenrou, except for his impulsive and inappropriate attitude towards Xue Ning.

In her opinion, Xue Ning was not even worthy of her precious son, let alone Yang Keqing, a weak woman who looks like a dodder?

All these things made the couple have no good impression of Yang Keqing.

However, Yang Keqing was not discouraged by this, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of taking care of Xi Lang. Although it was convenient to use her position as secretary, but her heart and sincerity towards Xi Lang could be seen.

After a period of time, Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou, who could not do anything about their son's bullish temper, gradually changed their attitude towards Yang Keqing.

Now when they heard her say something that did not appear in the transcript, the two were astonished and remained silent.

If it wasn't for Xue Ning, it would have been better, but if it was Xue Ning…

"I can go and ask her."

Yang Keqing volunteered, and Xi Quan and Huang Wenrou readily agreed.

Only then did Yang Keqing find Xue Xue.

Originally, Xi Lang had not been at the company for more than a week. This time, Huang Wenrou saw that her son was so haggard that he no longer looked human. She cried and begged him to go out for a walk. Finally, Xi Lang, who couldn't stand his mother's tears, stepped out of the house.

The destination was the company.

Although Xi Quan temporarily shielded his son, as the current leader of the company, Xi Lang's long absence would only lead to another wave of criticism.

Xi Quan naturally cannot tolerate such a thing to happen.

Xue Xue came here only after she had made some inquiries.

Because she had confirmed the time with Yang Keqing and greeted the front desk who had been told, Xue Xue took the elevator leading straight to the seventh floor.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator door, she saw Yang Keqing who had been waiting for her.

"President Xi is in the office."

"There was a meeting in the morning and someone took the opportunity to attack President Xi…" Yang Keqing said vaguely. "It was very unpleasant. President Xi hasn't come out since the meeting ended at eleven o'clock. I was blocked even when I wanted to deliver lunch."

"Okay."

Xuexue noticed the redness and swelling on the back of Yang Keqing's hand, but thought it had nothing to do with her.

For a while, the two were speechless.

Fortunately, she quickly walked to the door of Xi Lang's office, and the sturdy door was tightly shut.

"Do you want to come in with me?"

"Ah? No…I…"

Xue Xue knocked on the door after asking.

No one answered, and Xue Xue knocked harder and harder, until a clear roar broke out from inside.

"I've said—"

"It's me." Xue Xue didn't give Xi Lang a chance to finish his words, and said calmly. "Xue Xue."
