This time, Cheng Yuqi found herself utterly dumbfounded, and even Cheng Ye and Qiao Xinhui couldn’t believe their ears. In unison, they asked, “Yi designed it himself?”
“This design is exceptionally exquisite!” Qiao Xinhui marveled. “It surpasses even our jewelry designer’s creations. This style… People in love truly are extraordinary!”
Cheng Ye hadn’t anticipated Bo Yi’s romantic side and chuckled as he remarked, “Yi, you are incredibly thoughtful. The design is remarkable. Yuanyuan, have you reciprocated Yi’s gift?”
Fang Yuan, upon hearing this, realized she hadn’t. From the time they’d met until now, it had always been Bo Yi showering her with gifts, while she hadn’t offered anything in return, nor had she properly expressed her gratitude.
“Uncle, you’re giving it too much thought.” Bo Yi, in all sincerity, didn’t pressure Fang Yuan. He declared, “Yuanyuan is the greatest gift bestowed upon the Bo family by the heavens. I’m content with just her. 1 require nothing more.”
Fang Yuan caught his words and gazed at him. He, too, returned her look. The love and tenderness in his eyes were on the verge of overflowing. Fang Yuan, overwhelmed by emotion, hastily averted her gaze.
“Yi has such a sweet tongue,” Qiao Xinhui beamed with satisfaction. “He’s both romantic and handsome. Yuanyuan, you must hold onto him. I can tell that Yi will make an exceptional husband and father in the future.”
Fang Yuan:”…”
Bo Yi: “Thank you for your kind words, Auntie.”
Words could not capture Cheng Yuqi’s current state of mind. With a heavy heart, she ascended the final step. Just two more steps and she could escape this spiral staircase, no longer subjected to their conversation. However, her legs felt like lead, making it impossible for her to move. Bo Yi had personally designed a bracelet for Fang Yuan and had spoken such heartfelt words! He had always appeared aloof and reserved. To express such sentiments, just how deep was his bond with Fang Yuan? Had his affection for her reached such depths in just a few days?
“Lady Yuqi,” Auntie Wang extended a supportive hand, “please go change your clothes first to avoid catching a cold.”
Cheng Yuqi’s eyes brimmed with jealousy and tears. She felt wronged and indignant. After all, she had been the first to meet Bo Yi. If Fang Yuan hadn’t returned, everything would rightfully be hers!
The position of the Cheng family’s daughter and the role of Young Madam in the Bo family were meant for her alone. Why? Why was fate so unjust? Why had they placed her on the highest starting point only to push her off a cliff…
Despite the immense setback she had suffered, Cheng Yuqi still instinctively chose to don a provocative nightdress to catch Bo Yi’s attention.
Downstairs, Bo Yi had already departed, leaving only Cheng Ye, Qiao Xinhui, Fang Yuan, and Auntie Du in the living room.
Observing this, Cheng Yuqi chose not to descend but instead concealed herself on the staircase to eavesdrop.
“I heard about the cafeteria situation at the company. 1 never expected Li Guang to be so despicable. He’s utterly heartless, providing his employees with those subpar additives for a whole year,” Cheng Ye fumed. “Thankfully, Yuanyuan discovered it; otherwise, both the employees and the company would have suffered significantly.”
This was the first time Qiao Xinhui had heard about the cafeteria issue. “How heartless! It’s a good thing Yuanyuan possesses so much knowledge, but where did you acquire such professional expertise, Yuanyuan? It’s truly remarkable! How did you know about the additives used in those foods? Today, the company told me that although you seemed nonchalant, you confidently exposed the cafeteria’s tactics, earning the admiration of everyone present.”
“I found the information on the internet,” Fang Yuan replied calmly, as though these were trivial matters not worth mentioning.
“I can’t believe there’s someone like that in the company. He charged his employees nine yuan per person for food, yet he provided them with such subpar meals,” Qiao Xinhui couldn’t help but ask, “I heard he’s related to Zhao Quan?”
Fang Yuan affirmed, “Yes.”
“What did Zhao Quan have to say about this?” Qiao Xinhui inquired.
Fang Yuan simply replied, “He begged for leniency.”
“He had the audacity to plead for Li Guang?!” Qiao Xinhui’s anger flared. “I believe Zhao Quan is likely involved in this matter. Either he had a share of the profits, or he shielded Li Guang and chose to look the other way. How else could Li Guang have dared to cause trouble within the Cheng family’s jurisdiction? He must have powerful support!”
“Thank goodness Miss Fang Yuan intervened. Otherwise, we might never have uncovered all these issues within the company!” Auntie Du couldn’t help but commend, “Miss Fang Yuan is truly remarkable. She’s only been there for a few days, yet she’s already exposed two culprits!”
These two individuals were indeed the company’s leeches. Fang Yuan’s discovery saved the company a considerable amount of money..
