Chapter 19 - Dogs Digging Their Own Grave

"What violation?" Chen Yi was puzzled. But her voice was still calm. "Exactly what terms did I violate? Would you mind elaborating?"

"Getting involved in a scandal and tarnishing the society name" Mr. Xhi's voice was haughty.

"You don't know that the girl in the scandal is me."

Mr. Xi smirked.

"Ms. Chen even if it is at the point of suspicion, I have the authority to terminate the contract and ask you to empty the apartment at any instant. And not mention you have also failed to pay the apartment charges and with your current unemployed state, I doubt you would be able to pay them by the due date."

"The contract states that I can stay as long as the extended date to pay the charges with fine."

"Ms. Chen, whatever the contract states, are you forgetting that I hold the final decision-making power according to the contract?"

"So are you going to blatantly exercise abuse of power?"

Chen Yi felt troubled. If she was to evacuate now, she would have no place to go other than Fu Liling. But if she stayed at Fu Liling place, she was scared that her brainless ex would accuse her of plotting to r*pe him.

To find the perplexed expressions on Chen Yi's small face and a trepidation clouding her clear, limpid eyes; Mr. Xhi thought of something. He leaned in and silently said in a low voice so no one could hear him: "However If you could come to my office, we may work out something."

He had been lenient on her because she was pretty. Countless times he had tried to hit on her but she had never responded to his advances well. He was a married man with three children. How could Chen Yi respond well to his approaches?

Chen Yi looked at him truly astounded.

There was a languid glint in his eyes as he eyes her lecherously.

Chen Yi's thin lips curled up. That smile looked so charming on her gorgeous white, milk-like face-specially when her red lips were such a contrast to her pale skin.

A cold glint flashed across her eyes. She was disgusted by trashes like him.

"Mr. Xhi I couldn't expect to be so shameless when you already had a wife" He voice was intentionally loud so everyone could hear. Her strong voice held a magnetic charm in it capable of making anyone feeling a sort of attraction towards her.

With the close distance, he was standing by Chen Yi, everyone could guess he must have said something immoral to her to bring such a response out of her.

"Humph! Such a shameless man"

"Though I don't like Chen Yi, that man should still mind his manners."

"What a scoundrel! He is married and still goes around looking for others?"

Xhi Yuan was mortified.

"Fine Ms. Chen, I was just trying to help you. If you don't want to take the goodness of my heart with respect then I will have to use harsh measures against you" He flared up and openly threatened her, hoping that she would yield to him.

Chen Yi smiled faintly. She was calm, composed; didn't feel threatened at all. She had seen through thick and thin and fought off far more dangerous enemies than Xhi Yuan. But yet she did feel a rush of anger at that shameless despicable person. She was disgusted by him. Her eyes looked murderous as she glanced at that man.

Xhi Yuan felt a chill when he saw those cold eyes and a cold smile on her lips.

How could someone as delicate and pretty as Chen Yi possibly possess such a dangerous aura? Like she could kill him any second?

But he shrugged it off considering it to be his paranoia.

"Fine, Mr. Xhi if this is what you want, I would evacuate right now," She voice was low. She lowered her eyes to conceal the viciousness in them. "But I hope you won't regret it later"

'You won't regret it later' those words deeply settled in Xhi Yuan's heart and he trembled slightly. What was with that inexplicable fear?

"Regret it?" Mr. Xhi flared, frustrated at the fact that the words of that worthless woman were capable of giving him a scare. "Why would I regret it. Do you think I would be scared of you penniless peasant like you!"

"Throw her stuff out!" He barked at the subordinates around him.

Lui Chao was silently relishing the show. She could not help a smile emerging on her lips as she saw the guards throwing away Chen Yi stuff. She had always despised Chen Yi. It was no secret. Chen Yi was pretty and Lui Chao, full of insecurities, was always in denial of her perfections. So she couldn't suppress that relentless hate in her heart.

As Chen Yi stood there silently watching her stuff thrown out without any care, neither she nor Mr. Xhi or any other person who was relishing in her plight could have guessed that the owner of the building was speedily on his way to there to flatter and win favor of the future Ms.. Li right after getting a call from certain CEO of the Li corporation.
