Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 118 - 116 To Make Her Submit
Jiayi’s little face turned white, and she instinctively struggled in his arms. Because she used too much force, she pushed him away, and her whole body slid to the floor.
As he watched her fall to the ground, his face changed—damn it!
He quickly bent his lean body to pick her up.
Although the floor was carpeted thickly, she still hit the ground hard. Her cheeks turned pale, and tears began to form in her eyes.
It was as if a little knife had sliced through his heart. He frowned deeply, wanting to see how badly she had fallen.
With her face flushed, she pushed him away, refusing to let him see.
Just then, at the luxurious, carved Western-style door of the private room, there came a knocking sound!
The knocking grew more urgent with each knock until, finally, someone kicked the door open!
Liang Anya, the Liang family driver, Uncle De, and Liang Jue burst in. Liang Jue was at the forefront—it was clear he was the one who had kicked the door open in his haste.
Liang Jue had received a call from the family housekeeper a few days ago, saying that Dad was not well. He had just returned from out of town today and immediately heard from the housekeeper that his sister and Xiaoyi had gone to Night Cat to meet with Manager Yu. Without a second thought, he rushed over.
Upon arriving at Night Cat, Liang Jue saw his sister and Uncle De waiting outside, and Xiaoyi was inside negotiating with that shadowy shareholder alone. He darted in without saying another word.
Seeing Jiayi sitting in the man’s arms, her skirt in disarray and reeking of alcohol, Liang Jue’s face turned ashen.
Anxiously, Liang Anya pulled Jiayi over, "Xiaoyi, are you alright?"
"Xiaoyi, he didn’t do anything to you, did he?" Liang Jue clenched his fists.
Jiayi was afraid that Liang Jue and his sister would start another confrontation with Huo Zhenyang.
If they truly angered Huo Zhenyang, then there would be no more room for maneuver.
She hurriedly shook her head, "It’s okay, Brother Jue, Anya, I just fell by accident. Mr. Huo helped me up."
Liang Jue and Liang Anya did not quite believe her, and their faces still looked very grim.
Uncle De quickly tried to smooth things over, pulling the two siblings, "Let’s go, young master, miss, let’s go back. The master might have woken up by now."
Liang Jue was very young and had always lived a pampered life. Jiayi was worried he might lose his temper, so she quickly grabbed both of them and headed out.
Before leaving the private room, she looked back.
In a corner of the sofa, the man had a smug smile on his lips. It was ghostly and made her shiver for no reason.
The door slammed shut, leaving behind a trace of that little person’s lingering fragrance.
Huo Zhenyang picked up the cigar again, placing it between his fingers and drawing in a slow breath.
This time, in addition to making that girl honestly go back, he wanted her truly subdued and belonging to himself.
It seemed that his trip to the north would not end so quickly this time.
But that’s okay. For this little one, he was always infinitely patient.
————————
On the way back, Uncle De was driving, and Liang Jue sat in the passenger seat.
Liang Anya was holding Jiayi in the back seat.
As soon as Jiayi got in the car, the alcohol hit her, and she couldn’t hold on any longer. She collapsed in Anya’s arms and didn’t wake up until they reached the Liang Mansion, went straight to her room, and fell asleep on her bed.
This sleep lasted until noon the next day.
When she woke up, Jiayi quickly got up, hurried to wash up, changed clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.
Uncle Liang’s mental state was still not very good. When he woke up this morning, he was still very dispirited, sighing constantly and not wanting to leave his bedroom.
Liang Anya feared that her dad might think of doing something drastic again, and stayed by his side until the family doctor came and administered a tranquilizer to Liang Tao. Only after Liang Tao fell asleep to rest did Liang Anya leave her dad’s bedroom.
Liang Jue wasn’t home, and upon asking the nanny, Jiayi found out that Liang Jue had gone to Boda Group, apparently to discuss matters with President Yu once more.
But what good could President Yu do?
Now, the whole business was completely under that man’s control.
If all else failed, they would have no choice but to seek out that man once again.
Jiayi’s eyes dimmed.
Liang Anya noticed her thoughts and, anxious that she might want to go out, tightly grabbed her hand, saying,
"Xiaoyi, my brother said you’re not allowed to go looking for that young master Huo again, fearing you might get into trouble. Don’t worry, my brother has gone to negotiate with President Yu, and besides, the Liang Family has good relations with quite a few banks and financial consortia. If it really comes down to it, we can approach the banks for a loan to get through this crisis."
Even as she said this, Liang Anya’s voice was faint, and she herself seemed to lack confidence.
If it were really that easy to get a loan, Uncle Liang would have done so long ago, instead of being driven to the current state of desperation.
Jiayi kept her composure and gently patted the back of Liang Anya’s hand twice, signaling her not to worry just yet.
The two of them sat on the sofa, waiting for Liang Jue to come back.
Time slowly passed by, and as they talked and waited, they unintentionally fell asleep on the sofa. When they awoke, they realized it was already late in the day.
It was almost six o’clock, and Liang Jue still hadn’t come home.
Liang Anya was somewhat worried, so she called her brother’s phone, but no one answered. When she tried again, it was turned off.
After waiting for more than an hour without seeing Liang Jue return, feeling a sense of foreboding, they finally couldn’t sit still and thought to ask Uncle De to help them find people.
Just as the two of them had put on their coats and were about to leave, the phone in the living room shrilly rang out, shattering the silence!
Being closer, Jiayi reached out and answered the phone, "Hello, Liang Mansion, may I ask who’s calling?"
"Is Liang Jue a member of your family?" came a somewhat authoritative male voice.
Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat, "Yes, he is, and who might you be? What’s happened to Brother Jue?"
"This is the H City police station. Liang Jue was involved in a physical altercation today at Boda Group, injuring a manager surnamed Yu. If you are his family, please come over as soon as possible."
Jiayi’s hand slipped, and the receiver almost fell to the floor. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
——
In the darkness of the night, Jiayi and Liang Anya, with her face tear-streaked, hurried to the H City police station.
Liang Tao had already taken a hit, and the two didn’t dare to tell him about this incident. After instructing the nanny not to mention it to Liang Tao, they left.
According to the officer, Liang Jue had gone to the Boda general manager’s office today to negotiate with President Yu, who remained unyielding and still unwilling to discuss continuing investment.
Liang Jue believed Boda had broken their promises and, in a fit of anger, grabbed an ashtray from the office desk and struck President Yu on the head.
Afterward, Liang Jue was restrained by the company employees and taken to the police station.
President Yu had just received stitches for his head and decided to press charges against Liang Jue, demanding to have him sent to jail.
After negotiating with several officers, Jiayi and Liang Anya visited Liang Jue in the detention center.
Upon arriving at the cold atmosphere of the jail door and seeing her brother’s figure, Liang Anya couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears, rushing to him, "Brother, how are you?"
It had only been half a day, yet Liang Jue appeared to have lost weight significantly, his handsome features seemed lifeless, completely different from his usual vibrant self.
Brother Jue was a favored son of heaven and was very well-bred, never one to act recklessly. If he hadn’t been driven to utter desperation, he never would have resorted to violence.
Jiayi felt a sourness in her heart, her voice choked up, "Brother Jue, are you alright?"
