Ye Xiaofei returned to her office, and after closing the door, the tension in her Divine Essence finally relaxed. She let out a scream and pushed everything off her desk to the floor. Why? Why! Ye Xiaofei still couldn't believe her eyes. She wished it were just a dream, but it wasn't. She had felt Fei Hu's hand, and it still hurt; it was real, how could it be a dream?
The unbearable scene replayed in her mind over and over. The more she tried not to think about it, the more her thoughts gravitated toward that moment. She was on the verge of a breakdown and contemplated jumping from the 28th floor. Just last night, she had been lying in Fei Hu's arms, both of them intimate and close. This morning, as she got out of the car, Fei Hu had seized the moment to kiss her, a sweetness that made her feel blissful for the entire morning. But in an instant, everything changed, and her heart ached terribly.
For an entire afternoon, Ye Xiaofei didn't answer any calls or open the door. She sat quietly by herself, unwilling to accept that Fei Hu could be that kind of person. When Ye Wei showed her Wang Qian's bra, Ye Xiaofei felt as if a knife was cutting through her heart. This man had truly gone mad—mad with insanity, mad with depravity—mad enough for her to be unable to accept it.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Miss Li from Human Resources walked in with a nervous expression. She glanced at Ye Xiaofei's pale face and softly said, "Miss Ye, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Ye Xiaofei gently shook her head and replied, "I'm fine. Do you need something from me?"
Miss Li held a notice in her hand that already had Ye Wei's signature on it. Ye Xiaofei took a quick glance and saw words related to Fei Hu; she didn't want to look any further. Grabbing a pen, she signed her name without hesitation. Miss Li wanted to say something but hesitated; she couldn't understand how someone could be fired so suddenly when he had been so popular lately. Even while driving, people were competing for his attention. Why had everything changed so quickly? None of the higher-ups seemed willing to defend him; Miss Li couldn't help but shake her head.
Throughout the afternoon, news of Fei Hu's dismissal from Shengwei Group spread like wildfire in the company, but no one knew why he had been fired. There was even a rumor that Fei Hu had hit Ye Wei and then ran out of the company gate. It seemed that because of this incident, Team Leader Wang had been scolded by the security captain.
When work ended in the afternoon, Ye Xiaofei drove back to the villa. As soon as she parked the car, Ye Cheng rushed over and said bluntly, "What’s wrong with you? You’re driving without your license; what if you get caught?"
Ye Xiaofei shouted back angrily, "Let them! I would welcome it!"
Ye Cheng looked at Ye Xiaofei's furious expression and was taken aback. Although his granddaughter was usually willful and domineering, she had never acted like this before. What was going on with her today?
Hearing the shouting, Sister Wu hurried out and smiled reassuringly at Ye Cheng. "Brother, Xiaofei might have faced some trouble outside today; don’t take it too seriously. I’ll talk to her later."
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, "It's fine; I don't blame her. I just don’t know what happened. You should call Fei Hu quickly and ask about the situation; this seems serious—she has never acted like this before."
Sister Wu immediately took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Fei Hu's number, but all she got was a message saying "The mobile phone you are calling is not in service area; please try again later." She tried several times but couldn’t get through at all.
Ye Cheng became anxious and quickly said to Sister Wu, "Call Yingzi back. Something feels off." After saying that, he went upstairs. As he passed by Ye Xiaofei's door, he turned the doorknob and found that Ye Xiaofei had locked the door from the inside.
Finally, Yingzi arrived. As soon as she entered, she breathlessly asked, "What's wrong, Grandpa? Is there a major incident?"
Ye Cheng asked Yingzi to sit down first before explaining what had happened when Ye Xiaofei returned home that evening. He reminded her, "Fei Hu's phone is also unreachable; it says he's out of service area. Where did he run off to? Why did he let Xiaofei drive back alone? I sense something is very wrong here."
After hearing this, Yingzi still felt uneasy and tried calling Fei Hu's number, but it was indeed out of service area. She pondered for a moment but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she smiled at Ye Cheng and said, "Don't worry. I'll go find Sister Xiaofei shortly to understand the situation. As for Fei Hu, you don't need to worry about him. He's a grown man; what could happen to him? With his skills, no one can easily bully him."
Ye Cheng nodded but still expressed his concern, saying, "I'm afraid Xiaofei won't open the door for you. This child has a strong temper; if you anger her, not even nine oxen could pull her back." Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly.
Yingzi arrived at Ye Xiaofei's door and gently knocked twice, saying, "Sister Xiaofei, open the door. It's Yingzi; I need to talk to you."
There was some movement inside the room, and Ye Xiaofei opened the door. When Yingzi looked up, she clearly saw traces of tears on her face. However, Yingzi knew that Ye Xiaofei was proud, so she didn't directly ask why she had been crying. Instead, she entered the room and walked around, thinking about how to start the conversation.
"Sit down! Stop pacing around. You must be here to ask me why I'm acting like a madwoman today. I'll tell you, but I have a condition: you can only listen and not speak because I don't want to hear any explanations from you," Ye Xiaofei said in a cryptic manner. Yingzi felt confused about what she meant.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Ye Cheng and Sister Wu stood at the entrance. Ye Cheng smiled and asked, "Can we come in and listen?"
"Sure! Why not? Come in! But once you've listened, leave immediately and don't ask about this matter again; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude," Ye Xiaofei said with a glare that felt like daggers—quite intimidating.
Ye Cheng and Sister Wu were equally puzzled; they didn't know what Ye Xiaofei wanted to say either. To avoid affecting her mood further, they nodded silently and sat down on the sofa.
Ye Xiaofei remained quiet for a while as if she were adjusting her mindset. After some time had passed, she finally spoke: "This afternoon, Ye Wei came to me and said that Wang Qian is very dissatisfied with her current job position. We ended up arguing without any communication. Ye Wei insisted that I go confront Wang Qian about it. I thought there's nothing to be afraid of in confronting someone." At this point, Ye Xiaofei suddenly stopped speaking; it was unclear whether she didn't want to continue or was trying to organize her thoughts.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but interject: "Child, it's perfectly normal for such situations to arise at work; you can't be angry about this!"
Ye Xiaofei shook her head, her expression changing as if she had made a significant decision. She said, "When Ye Wei and I pushed open Wang Qian's office door, we found that bastard Fei Hu was doing something unspeakable with Wang Qian."
"What? In the office, in broad daylight? You must be mistaken!" Ye Cheng stood up, clearly in disbelief, his agitation evident as his beard trembled.
Ye Xiaofei gritted her teeth and recounted the entire incident to everyone. By the time she finished, two glistening tears had fallen from her eyes, showing just how heartbroken she was; she wanted to cry but couldn't.
Upon hearing this, Yingzi immediately stood up and said to Ye Xiaofei, "Sister Xiaofei, this must be a conspiracy. You mustn't fall for it. First of all, Fei Hu is not that kind of person..."
"Enough! From today onward, I don't want to hear that person's name again. Anyone who mentions him will face my wrath. His life or death has nothing to do with me. Not reporting him today is already showing mercy. Also, I don't want him meddling in our Ye Family's affairs anymore. Even if I die a terrible death, I don't want him to pity me," Ye Xiaofei said as she turned her face away. The depth of love brings deep pain; this is the hurt of love.
Seeing Ye Xiaofei so heartbroken, Ye Cheng realized that saying more would be futile and might only upset her further. He waved his hand, and a few people quietly left Ye Xiaofei's room.
In Ye Cheng's study, everyone sat in silence, contemplating what Ye Xiaofei had said. No one wanted this to be true, but it had happened nonetheless. Sister Wu was the first to break the silence; she stood up and said, "Fei Hu is not a bad kid; he has a good heart. This might have been an impulsive act on his part. We should forgive him and also talk to Xiaofei. No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. If he can change, he can still be a good person. Besides, I've met Wang Qian once; she's nothing but a seductress."
"Haha! You have a point there, but the root of the issue lies elsewhere. It's natural for men to be flirtatious; even if Fei Hu is a romantic, he should have considered Xiaofei before getting involved with Wang Qian! Doing such things in the office during the day with the door wide open is simply incomprehensible!" Ye Cheng said with a skeptical look on his face but still couldn't articulate why it was so puzzling.
Yingzi, who had been silent until now, finally exhaled deeply and said, "This must be a conspiracy. Wang Qian and Ye Wei are playing both sides—driving Fei Hu away while also hurting Xiaofei. This is their scheme. But why did Fei Hu give in so easily? We need to find Fei Hu to get to the bottom of this."
"Well said! You really think things through. If Xiaofei could think like you do, this situation would be much easier to handle," Ye Cheng said while stroking his beard and chuckling lightly.
Yingzi pondered for a moment before frowning again; she sensed that there was a larger conspiracy behind all this.
