Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Broke His Own Hand by Pinching It

He continued, “Our president is only in a relationship with Miss Rong. He has never said he liked you, nor has he expressed intentions to break up with Miss Rong to be with you. I don’t understand what Miss Chu means by the past and the future here. Mr. Li has only one girlfriend, neither before was it Miss Chu, nor is it now. As for the future… I see it has nothing to do with Miss Chu.”

Mr. Li and Miss Rong are perfectly fine together, why stick your nose into it when it has nothing to do with you, how shameless!

After finishing, he couldn’t be bothered to keep up appearances anymore and straightforwardly pointed towards the door, telling Chu Xi, “Miss Chu, I have other matters to attend to, and the front desk staff have other work to do as well. If you have nothing else, you may leave now. If you really want to meet Mr. Li, you can call him. Please don’t add to our workload.”

“You!” Chu Xi was so angry she was nearly smoking, clenching her teeth and threatening, “Do you know who I am?!”

Gu Ming, utterly unconcerned and feeling no need to know, kept a stern face, “Definitely not the president’s girlfriend. Miss Chu, please leave. It’s better to have some self-awareness, don’t make me ‘ask’ you to leave, it’d be embarrassing for us both.”

“Heh.” Chu Xi laughed angrily. Her face alternating between blue, white, and purple, colorfully and splendidly. She clenched her hands tightly and bit her tongue before she managed to calm herself, “You are truly hopeless about Rong Yan. I don’t know what she promised you but seeing now, you don’t seem like a smart man.”

Gu Ming in his crisp suit and upright demeanor said, “Miss Rong hasn’t promised me anything. I am only acting according to my conscience. As for my intelligence… at least I don’t judge others’ intellect in their presence.”

Rong Yan wouldn’t either, nor would she condescendingly point fingers at others.

This woman seems clever, but only petty clever, nothing substantive.

How intelligent can someone be who can’t even respect others? And still daring to call others stupid here? Alright, you’re the genius then?

“Miss Chu, I don’t want to argue with you, and no one else wants to. If you have no issues, please leave by yourself. I’m occupied and can’t accompany you further.” He dropped these words, didn’t bother to look at Chu Xi’s reaction, turned, opened the door, and left without looking back.

“Bang!” Chu Xi watched him leave, then punched the desk.

Instantly, a piercing pain shot through the back of her hand. She realized she had accidentally caught her pinky finger and, in pain and anger mingling with shock, bit her lips and left Li Group…

In the tranquil Chu Garden, since meeting Rong Yan last night, Chenyue seemed much calmer.

She was checking a list of children born in Capital City on the very day her relative lost their child according to an insider, a thick roster with at least a thousand names. She marked off unlikely candidates with her pen.

Just then, Chu Xi returned. Her pale face and fingers still bandaged, it was difficult not to notice her.

“Xi, you’re back? What happened to your hand?” Chenyue asked kindly, noticing her hand.

Who knew her eyes would suddenly redden, seeming to hold back something, she hid her hand behind her back, “No, it’s nothing.”

Chenyue’s graceful and elegant eyes watched her face, slowly setting down her work, “What really happened? Were you bullied?”
