Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Putting Mi Yi in an Irreversible Situation

Yuan Xi saw Bo Chi in front of her and maintained a polite smile typical in the workplace, “Mr. Yani, Young Master Bo.”

Mr. Yani spoke fluent English, and Yuan Xi responded in English as well, discussing the matter of Mi Chen’s game agency cooperation in South Asia.

South Asia was a market Mi Chen hadn’t considered entering, but it still had considerable potential.

However, the traders in Huxi Village had previously done business with South Asians, and Yuan Xi wasn’t being openly discriminatory, but the factories involved in foreign trade there had always been apprehensive about doing business with South Asia.

As Yuan Xi listened to Mr. Yani’s introduction, she hadn’t decided yet whether to cooperate with him.

Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and a fine drizzle began to fall in the evening.

Bo Chi spoke up, “It’s getting late, may I invite you to dinner?”

Yuan Xi looked at Bo Chi, “I’m sorry, but I don’t attend dinner parties.”

Bo Chi said, “Won’t you even give Mr. Yani this courtesy?”

Yuan Xi gently smiled and said, “Mi Chen has always maintained that work matters should be resolved during work hours without encroaching on personal time, so I apologize, but dinner is already prepared at home waiting for me.”

Bo Chi exchanged a look with Mr. Yani, who then excused himself to use the restroom.

In the guest room, only Yuan Xi and Bo Chi were left.

Holding a cup of coffee, Bo Chi said, “Sister Mi Yi once mentioned that you make excellent coffee.”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s getting late, I need to get off work.”

Bo Chi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “I came here today also to talk about a potential collaboration.”

Yuan Xi looked at Bo Chi and said, “Sorry, I don’t think there can be a collaboration between us.”

Bo Chi said, “Our jewelry is aiming to appeal to the younger market, and we would like to design a co-branded line of jewelry under the names of several male protagonists from ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’. Here are some designs my designers have come up with. Would you like to consider the co-branding?”

Yuan Xi responded, “Sorry, ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ currently has no intention of co-branding jewelry.”

Yuan Xi glanced at the jewelry designs and had to admit Bo Chi’s proposal was quite good, but she still chose not to collaborate with Bo Chi.

Bo Chi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Are you afraid of me?”

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, “Why would I be?”

Bo Chi lightly laughed and said, “I’m not a man-eater, what are you afraid of? Scared of becoming like Bo Fan?”

Yuan Xi stared at Bo Chi in surprise.

Bo Chi said, “You knew, didn’t you?”

Bo Chi then said, “We dealt with Bo Fan because his family owed us. Xiao Xi, you don’t need to be afraid of me…”

Bo Chi lifted the Buddha Beads in his hand, “I believe in Buddha, and you should believe in the fate he has given us as well.”

Yuan Xi took two steps back. With Mi Chen’s colleagues outside in the guest room, she wasn’t worried about what Bo Chi might do. She smiled lightly, “Mr. Bo, I should be heading home.”

Bo Chi reached out to grasp Yuan Xi’s wrist, but she quickly dodged.

Bo Chi said, “Do you want me to help you get rid of Mi Yi? After she returned to the country, she has been making things difficult for you, and Huo Shiyan has just been watching coldly, allowing Mi Yi to slander you online as ungrateful, but I can make her life miserable…”

Yuan Xi said, “No need! Gu Hanchen, Mi Yi, and I will resolve our own issues.”

Bo Chi adjusted his glasses with his index finger, his eyes darkening as he said, “I have always remembered the first day of the Lunar New Year from many years ago; for me, it was the happiest and most relaxed New Year I’ve ever had. I hope you can spend every New Year Day with me for the rest of your life…”

Yuan Xi frowned deeply and said, “In the future, I will spend every New Year’s Day with my husband and children.”

Underneath his half-rimmed glasses, Bo Chi’s gaze was full of mockery and intent.

Yuan Xi took two steps back and opened the door to the guest room. Without even saying goodbye to Mr. Yani, she headed directly to the underground parking garage.

Upon getting into the car, Yuan Xi was still shocked by Bo Chi’s gaze.

Yuan Xi recalled what Bo Chi had just said.

Once back at home, Huo Shiyan was already at home holding Lele.

Lele began to whimper pitifully after seeing Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi took Lele from Huo Shiyuan’s arms and said, “Bo Chi just came to Mi Chen and he said he could get Mi Yi into deep trouble. Does he really have the ability to pin the money laundering charges entirely on Mi Yi?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Hold on, I’ll ask Xiao Yun.”

Huo Shiyuan made a phone call, and the more he listened, the more he frowned.

After hanging up, he said to Yuan Xi, “Your guess might actually be true.”

“Bo Chi wasn’t involved in the money laundering. The companies involved are all under Mi Yi’s name. Although Bo Chi is a foreigner and many main companies are under Mi Yi’s name, the money ultimately laundered ends up in Bo’s Jewelry. Bo’s Jewelry has a corporate entity that Mi Yi owns 1% of, the main shareholding belongs to Bo Investment Company where Mi Yi also acts as the corporate entity owning 10%. Bo Chi is just an investor enjoying dividends without bearing any responsibilities. Now, it’s just unknown whether Mi Yi has kept any evidence of the transfers… If not, indeed, Mi Yi might bear all the blame.”

Listening to Huo Shiyuan, Yuan Xi frowned tightly and sent a message to Mi Yi, but there was no reply for a long time.

Yuan Xi thought for a while, then contacted a senior lawyer she knew from university. Although she and Mi Yi didn’t attend the same college, they were acquainted.

Mi Yi promptly returned the call, “What is it?”

Yuan Xi said, “Sister Mi Yi…”

Mi Yi interjected from the other line, “Don’t call me Sister Mi Yi!”

Yuan Xi said, “Mi Yi, are you free tomorrow morning? Let’s meet.”

Mi Yi said, “Ruchu Cafe then.”

After hanging up, Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “Mi Yi might not take your advice.”

Yuan Xi responded, “Whether she takes the advice or not, reminding Mi Yi is what matters.”

Yuan Xi hardly slept well that night, possibly because Bo Chi’s gaze was too intimidating.

She tossed and turned in Huo Shiyuan’s arms, unable to sleep, feeling a constant twitch in her right eyelid like something significant was about to happen.

Huo Shiyuan, waking up, kissed Yuan Xi’s forehead, “Can’t sleep?”

Yuan Xi candidly responded, “Yeah, Bo Chi, he…”

Huo Shiyuan, holding Yuan Xi’s hand, said, “Why is thinking about Bo Chi keeping you awake?”

Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “At this time, you’re still making jokes?”

Huo Shiyuan, embracing Yuan Xi’s waist, said, “Don’t worry too much, just try to sleep well.”

Yuan Xi said, “My eyelid is twitching badly, I can’t sleep.”

Huo Shiyuan offered, “Should I tell you a bedtime story?”

Yuan Xi replied with a soft laugh, “Bedtime stories are for children the age of Huohuo.”

Huo Shiyuan slowly began, “A long, long time ago, there was a little boy who wasn’t loved by his parents from birth. Every time he saw his parents, it ended in endless arguments. His grandparents had great expectations for him, and he had to do his best in everything to not disappoint their nurturing hopes. One day, he became nearsighted, and the doctor suggested more exposure to nature, so his grandmother took him back to their old countryside home. There, he met a sweet, cheerful, and naive little girl. She was so well-behaved that he wanted to take her home the moment he saw her. With this little girl, he no longer feared his parents’ arguments because the warmth he needed was all given by her.”

Huo Shiyuan gently kissed Yuan Xi’s lips, “Bo Chi could fall for you just by spending a day with you, and I am not at all surprised. You don’t even realize how warmly inviting you were as a child.”

Yuan Xi’s childhood was one to be envied, with parents who probably treated her like a princess because they couldn’t have children naturally.

Although Yuan Xi’s family background during her childhood might have just barely been middle class, she was born into a loving family with two good friends by her side.

The biggest trouble in Yuan Xi’s childhood was probably only the weekly maintenance of the TV network every Tuesday.

Yuan Xi truly loved to smile when she was little, her smile so infectious.

Some spend a lifetime healing from their childhood, but Yuan Xi’s was so wonderful that it allowed her to approach the entire world with a stable and gentle mindset.

Huo Shiyuan, intertwining his fingers with Yuan Xi’s, said, “Xiao Xi, all the beauty in my life originated from meeting you in our childhood. You and Shi Lei and Yuanzi teased me for being crybaby… but you know, I never had the right to cry in City A, as the successor of Shi Yi is never allowed to cry.”

Yuan Xi remembered what Fu Qin had said about Huo Shiyuan’s never being childish as a child, maybe the little Huo Shiyuan in City A and Zhuangzhuang in Jiang City really were different…
