Chapter 418 You've committed a grave offense against me!
After dinner, they prepared to go to the hospital. Mr. Zhou went back to his room to change his clothes, leaving only Yan Zhixu and Lisa in the living room.
Lisa had been waiting for a chance to be alone with him. She walked closer to him, her eyes fixed on him, and said, "Vito, I missed you so much~"
Yan Zhixu glanced at her indifferently, his sharp and distant gaze making her stop three steps away, not daring to get any closer, and she could only sit on the sofa on the other side.
Yan Zhixu: "It seems that the troubles you've caused lately haven't been enough to make you anxious, and now you're even thinking about things you shouldn't be thinking about."
Lisa looked at him resentfully and said, "But I can't control what I'm thinking."
Yan Zhixu: "But you can control yourself from coming this way, so why do you have to come?"
Lisa: "I didn't expect you to come so soon. I really just came to see my grandfather..."
Yan Zhixu: "You know about Grandma's situation, but instead of visiting her first, you come to see Grandpa first?"
Lisa was speechless for a moment. She bit her lip, then decided to go all out and said, "Okay, I admit I came to you, Vito. Can you help me? I really can't hold on anymore. Those people... those people are forcing me to give up my CEO position. They want to take away what I have. My mother said those projects are too big and she can't help me. Now only you can help me."
Yan Zhixu: "How do you want me to help you?"
Lisa thought he couldn't stand by and watch and wanted to help, so she quickly said, "Just make up for the losses and get the project running normally again."
Yan Zhixu chuckled: "You messed up the project and lost money, and I'm going to make up for it? You mean the money I make from the projects I'm working on is going to be used to cover your mistakes?"
Lisa: "I...I just made a mistake. I promise, as long as the project runs smoothly, we'll definitely make back the initial investment, and then we'll transfer the profits back to you..."
Yan Zhixu's smile vanished, and she glanced at her coldly: "Do you think the group's shareholders are fools? I've covered for you, which is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Do you think they won't see through it?"
Lisa's face turned red and then pale. She said, "But... this is the only way. Please help me. I promise I'll be more careful from now on!"
Yan Zhixu remained unmoved: "Bosch is not something I can decide on my own. I still stand by what I said: if you make a wrong decision, you have to pay the corresponding price, even if it's me. If today's mistake caused the group to suffer losses, who should I ask to help me make up for the losses?"
Lisa's breath caught in her throat as she stared intently at him: "Are you just going to watch me hand over the CEO position?"
Yan Zhixu looked away, and after a long while said, "Actually, there is another way to save yourself."
Lisa: "What method?"
Yan Zhixu: "You can sell some of your shares."
Lisa was stunned, then raised her voice and said, "Impossible! I worked so hard to collect that, I wouldn't touch it unless absolutely necessary!"
Yan Zhixu said lightly, "Oh, since you don't want to use this method, then I can't help you."
Lisa: "..."
A thought flashed through her mind instantly: This man is doing this on purpose!
He's pressuring her too!
But would he really be so heartless?
Even if they don't end up together, they've had a brother-sister relationship for years. Doesn't he care about that at all?
No, he wouldn't have done that before. Even if he was aloof, he would still say "Happy Birthday" to her on her birthday and praise her for completing a new project.
It was all because of that woman's appearance that he became so cold and ruthless!
Countless images flashed through her mind, including her last day in the Panda Kingdom.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her for days.
"I've been wanting to ask you this: was it because I sent you that woman's video that night at the hotel that you were in such a hurry to send me back to America?"
Yan Zhixu glanced at her indifferently, without denying it.
Lisa understood his gaze, a sharp pain shooting through her heart. She said bitterly, "Why? It's just a video, and that woman was having an affair with another man behind your back. Instead of confronting her, you blame me for meddling? Don't you care about her with other men...?"
"Shut up!" Yan Zhixu stood up, unable to bear it any longer, and shouted angrily, "You know that the man in the video is my nephew, so let me tell you a little more. Bei'an and Weiwei are college classmates. That night, they were just waiting for me and attending a class reunion. But you used the video to slander and hurt her, which I cannot tolerate!"
"Furthermore, I haven't told you yet, do you think I didn't know that you privately added her on WeChat and sent her a lot of fabricated content and photos? I've tolerated you time and time again because your mother and my aunt raised you from childhood, but you take this as my indulgence?"
"Lisa, you've committed a grave offense against me!"
This was the first time Yan Zhixu had looked at her with such a murderous gaze. Lisa felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively backed away.
Yan Zhixu looked down at her, his eyes as dark as the deep night outside.
He pointed at the gate and said in a cold voice, "Now, leave this place, and from today onwards, you are not allowed to set foot here again!"
Lisa slowly stood up, her body trembling, and stiffly turned to walk towards the door.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard a man's soft voice behind her: "I heard you found your biological father?"
Lisa suddenly turned around to look at him, her face full of fear and bewilderment.
The man stared at her, a mysterious smile slowly appearing on his handsome face: "Take care of yourself. Butler, see the guest out."
"Yes."
Lisa was asked to leave, and the room returned to silence.
Yan Zhixu sat back down in his chair, fiddling with the small lighter in his hand again.
I took out my phone and checked the time. It was almost 7 o'clock. It was about the same time over there. She should be up by now, getting ready for work.
He misses her so much.
Just as he was about to send her a WeChat message, someone walked in. He put down his phone, looked up, and stared at them with sharp eyes.
It's Wei Qing.
The alert gaze was withdrawn.
Wei Qing approached and whispered, "President Yan, it seems that the old lady's heart attack is related to Miss Lisa."
Yan Zhixu's gaze sharpened as she stared at him: "What's going on?"
Wei Qing: "The old lady's driver recalled that yesterday she was walking to meet a friend in the city center park when she suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital. The driver said that he thought he saw Ms. Lisa nearby. Ms. Lisa clearly saw the old lady fall to the ground, but pretended not to see her and left. He found it strange at the time, but the situation was urgent, so he didn't think too much about it. Now that the old lady's condition has stabilized, he has revealed this incident."
Lisa appeared at the scene of her grandmother's illness and left as if she hadn't seen anything.
I shouldn't have let her leave so easily!
Yan Zhixu's face turned cold: "Continue investigating, you must find out!"
"Yes."
