He harbored his doubts and turned back into the apartment building, taking the elevator to Meng Jingwei's apartment door, and knocked.
It wasn't difficult to find out which apartment Meng Jingwei lived in.
Knock, knock, knock—
Qing Si Huai knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Meng Jingwei's voice came from inside, and then she walked to the door and opened it.
When she saw that the person standing at the door was Qing Si Huai, she was not surprised. She only asked him, "Do you need something from me?"
Today was quite lively, with everyone coming to join the fun.
"I..."
Just as Qing Si Huai was about to say something, he heard a mobile phone ring.
The ringtone was not Qing Si Huai's.
Meng Jingwei raised her phone and looked at the phone number of Lu Sen flashing on the screen. She couldn't help but frown. Thinking about what Qing Mu Ye had just said, she had a general idea.
"I'll take a call."
Meng Jingwei said to Qing Mu Ye.
She slid the answer button, held the phone vertically to her ear, turned, and walked into the living room. "Mr. Lu?"
"Jingwei, how did you offend Master Qing? I received news here asking me to terminate our cooperation with you. Do you have any conflict with him?"
Lu Sen felt put in a difficult position.
As a media company, its scale was not large, and it was completely incapable of competing with Qing Mu Ye.
His words were like a decree, which must be obeyed and for which one must express gratitude, how could he dare to defy?
Unless he didn't want to work anymore.
Meng Jingwei pursed her lips and impatiently flicked her hair aside. "It's nothing. I'll come to the company tomorrow to sign the termination contract with you."
Having known Qing Mu Ye for a long time, she understood his temper too well.
He was a man of his word.
Lu Sen's Hua Yu Media Company could not withstand Qing Mu Ye's pressure. If Lu Sen resisted, the only outcome would be a dead end.
She didn't want to implicate anyone.
"Alas, I still admire your abilities very much. Why don't you go and find Old Mrs. Qing? You are her god-granddaughter after all, I think... Old Mrs. would not ignore it."
Lu Sen offered Meng Jingwei advice.
However, Meng Jingwei did not want to lower her head and beg for favors again and again, so she refused. "No need, I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for taking care of me at Hua Yu Media during this time. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Then... then that's fine."
Lu Sen wanted to persuade her a few more words, but sensing that Meng Jingwei's mood was not good, he didn't want to say more, so he didn't say anything.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Jingwei sat on the sofa and looked up at Qing Si Huai, who had walked in. "If you have something to say, say it."
Qing Si Huai did not close the door as he walked into the living room, signaling that he would not do anything to her.
He pointed to the sofa. "Can I sit down and chat with you for a while?"
"As you wish."
Meng Jingwei was deeply hit by Qing Mu Ye, her heart was like ashes.
The beautiful moments they once shared flashed through her mind like a movie. She thought that meeting Qing Mu Ye would be the most beautiful and happy thing in the world.
Now she realized that Qing Mu Ye's 'love' for Yun Sha Sha was actually enviable.
Merely because she slapped Yun Sha Sha, he ruthlessly destroyed her career.
Suddenly, Meng Jingwei felt fortunate that her Zhao Yun E-sports company had not exposed its identity, leaving her a way out.
At least, the company's income was stable now, and it was developing into other fields, so she didn't have to worry about not having an economic source.
It's just that, in comparison, she felt even more that Qing Mu Ye's actions made her heart ache to the point of shattering.
What a cruel person.
"Mu Ye was too impulsive. You had such a close relationship back then, even because of Yun Sha Sha, he shouldn't have treated you like this." Qing Si Huai seemed to be comforting Meng Jingwei, but he actually wanted to extract information from her.
However, Meng Jingwei knew nothing about it. Even if she was interrogated, she couldn't get any useful information.
"My relationship with Qing Mu Ye has nothing to do with you. You don't need to be so concerned."
Meng Jingwei placed her phone on the table, showing no intention of pouring water for Qing Si Huai. Her dislike for him was very obvious.
"You came so late, not to ask about Shu Mo, right?"
The child born to Shu Yao was named Shu Mo.
Meng Jingwei felt that Qing Si Huai's late arrival must be about Shu Mo.
"Hahahaha."
Qing Si Huai threw his head back and laughed. "Jingwei, you are still so smart."
He raised his hand, took out his wallet from his suit pocket, and then took out a banknote and placed it on the table. "Here is ten million."
Meng Jingwei leaned back on the sofa, lowered her gaze, glanced at the banknote, and said nothing.
"After the child was born, I haven't been able to spend enough time with the child. It's my fault as a father. Yao Yao doesn't want me to see the child, and I can understand that. But please help me transfer this ten million to Yao Yao, as my token of sincerity."
Qing Si Huai spoke with extreme sincerity.
Although he wore a polite smile, making him seem courteous, Meng Jingwei knew that Qing Si Huai's purpose for coming today was impure.
This ten million was likely bait.
"Sorry, I can't help you."
Meng Jingwei bent down, her slender jade fingers resting on the check, and gently pushed it back to Qing Si Huai. "Given Shu Yao's family background and her own earning ability, she doesn't need this ten million at all."
Shu Yao had her own company and wealthy parents who could earn money. She didn't need to support herself, but she had always been striving forward, just to prove her own worth.
Let alone this ten million, even Meng Jingwei, who was so poor, wouldn't look at it.
Qing Si Huai wasn't angry when Meng Jingwei teased him. "I know this amount of money is not much to you, but this is only for one year's living expenses. Please help me out, Jingwei, will you?"
Meng Jingwei didn't understand what Qing Si Huai was up to.
"The child's surname is Shu, and she is Shu Yao's child." She emphasized.
"Hoo..."
Having said all that, Qing Si Huai let out a long sigh. "Since Jingwei is determined not to help, I'll contact Yao Yao myself."
With that, he picked up the check, stood up, and left.
Meng Jingwei lowered her eyes and pondered. If Qing Si Huai managed to impress Shu Yao with this ten million, wouldn't it be a loss outweighing the gain?
"Leave the money, I will help you transfer it to Shu Yao."
She said.
Qing Si Huai, who had reached the door, paused. A shrewd glint flashed in his obsidian eyes.
He turned around and placed the check on the coffee table. "Thank you, Jingwei."
After thanking her, Qing Si Huai made no further moves and left the apartment, closing the door behind him for Meng Jingwei.
Looking at the check on the table, Meng Jingwei picked it up. She stared at the check with a solemn expression for a long time. Her mind raced, but she still couldn't figure out Qing Si Huai's game.
Ring, ring, ring—
The mobile phone on the table rang again.
This time, it was Chu Xue's call.
Meng Jingwei answered the phone, and before she could speak, Chu Xue on the other end anxiously asked, "Meng Jingwei, what exactly happened between you and Qing Mu Ye? I just received a call from Lu Sen saying that Qing Mu Ye gave a strict order to terminate your cooperation?"
