The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 131 Asking for help

"Mr. Xie, what should we do?"

The secretary stood anxiously in front of Xie Huaijin and asked.

Xie Huaijin's face was filled with anger: "Who exactly leaked our secrets? I will find the culprit and tear him to pieces!"

"President Xie, we still can't find out who leaked the information, but we are certain that it has reached President Chen. What's worse is that before this, in addition to discussing cooperation with us, President Chen was also negotiating with Red Star. Originally, President Chen was weighing the options to choose a more suitable partner, but since this incident, he has decided to cooperate with Red Star without hesitation."

After he said that, I roughly understood something.

But it's uncertain whether Jiang Jiyue was behind it.

Xie Huaijin's face instantly darkened to the point of being dripping with gloom, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Whether it's Jiang Jiyue or not, get her to come out first."

He said through gritted teeth.

The secretary looked troubled. "Mr. Xie, it's difficult to get an appointment with Ms. Jiang. She seems to be avoiding us lately. You didn't see her when you went to Hongxing last time."

Xie Huaijin frowned, his eyes growing colder. "Find a way. I must see her."

The secretary dared not say anything more and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mr. Xie, I'll take care of it."

Soon, the secretary contacted Jiang Jiyue's assistant through various connections and finally managed to arrange a meeting time and place.

Xie Huaijin arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop early, sat by the window, and revealed a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

A moment later, Jiang Jiyue walked in gracefully. She was wearing a simple yet elegant dress, with a faint smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Huaijin stood up and calmly looked at her.

"Mr. Jiang, you're such a busy person! For someone as insignificant as me to get an appointment with you is harder than climbing to heaven!"

Xie Huaijin looked at her with a fawning expression, seemingly filled with awe.

However, in response to the other party's flattery, she simply smiled and replied lightly, "Not at all, I'm not a very busy person. Compared to President Xie, I'm nothing."

Her tone was humble, but it revealed a sense of confidence and composure.

She looked at the man with a smile.

When he smiles, he looks exactly like Joey.

Why do I always have this illusion that the woman in front of me is Joey?

Perhaps out of guilt, his gaze softened a little.

She picked up her coffee, took an elegant sip, looked out the window, put it down, and then looked at Xie Huaijin.

"I wonder what brings you here, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Huaijin took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone.

"President Jiang, to be honest, the reason I'm here today is that I hope you can help Xie's. Recently, the company has run into some problems and lost a cooperation. I suspect that this is related to Fu's Group."

This man was also scheming. He must have found out that Chen Yu had chosen to cooperate with Hongxing, so he deliberately came to him to shift the blame to the Fu Group.

Jiang Jiyue's lips curled up slightly, but she did not respond directly: "President Xie, the business world is like a battlefield. It is very normal for cooperation to fall apart. I can't interfere with President Chen's decision. Besides, isn't President Xie's wife the younger sister of President Fu's Group? Would President Fu really frame his own brother-in-law?"

Xie Huaijin's gaze was fixed on her.

Their eyes met.

“President Jiang, I know you have influence at Red Star. If you are willing to mediate and allow President Chen and the Xie family to continue their cooperation, I will reward you handsomely.”

Jiang Jiyue chuckled lightly, "President Xie, you think too highly of me. But I'm curious, what makes you think I'd help you?"

A hint of urgency flashed in Xie Huaijin's eyes. "President Jiang, we've had a pleasant exchange before. I believe you won't stand by and watch us die. Besides, helping Xie's Group wouldn't be without benefits for Red Star either."

Jiang Jiyue leaned back in her chair, looking at him with a half-smile, without giving an immediate reply.

Then, Xie Huaijin slowly walked out of the coffee shop.

His expression alone was enough to show that his plea for help had failed.

Watching his disheveled figure leave,

"Xie Huaijin, I'd like to see how you plan to save your Xie family business."

As night fell and the city lights began to twinkle, Xie Huaijin returned to the Xie Group, utterly exhausted.

The secretary rushed up anxiously, "Mr. Xie, the bank is pressing for loan repayment, and our cash flow is about to dry up."

"I understand, I'll figure something out, you can go out now."

Fu Silin came to mind.

The Fu family——

The Fu family home was exceptionally lively today.

The whole family sat around a table to eat.

Xie Huaijin drove to the Fu family's door, walked in, and stood in the Fu family's living room, looking at the happy family, feeling a mix of emotions.

Fu Silin, with her sharp eyes, spotted him first and stood up to greet him, "Huaijin, what brings you here?"

Fu's parents also stopped talking, as did Fu Shiyue, and looked at him.

Xie Huaijin took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Dad, Mom, I've come here to borrow some money from you. Xie's cash flow is about to dry up."

Mr. Fu put down his chopsticks, his face serious. "How did the Xie family end up like this? How exactly have you managed it?"

"There were some unexpected events, but this is only temporary. I will get the Xie family back on track as soon as possible."

Mrs. Fu frowned. "This is not a small amount; we need to think about it."

Fu Silin held Xie Huaijin's hand and said softly, "Mom and Dad, Huaijin must have had no other choice but to come to us for help. Let's help him."

Mr. Fu finally sighed, "For Linlin's sake, we can help you, but you have to promise to pay back the money as soon as possible."

Xie Huaijin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will definitely not let you down."

Fu Shiyue suddenly stood up, his movements swift and decisive, as if carrying an irresistible force.

He walked straight to Xie Huaijin's side, his face gloomy, which made people feel intimidated.

Xie Huaijin sensed Fu Shiyue's approach and slowly raised his gaze to meet Fu Shiyue's eyes.

Despite feeling somewhat uneasy inside, he remained outwardly calm, as if he had anticipated what might happen next.

“Xie Huaijin,” Fu Shiyue’s voice was deep and serious, “come with me for a moment, I have some questions for you.”

His tone conveyed an unquestionable air.

Xie Huaijin gazed at Fu Shiyue, remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

His voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.

Just as Xie Huaijin was about to get up and follow Fu Shiyue, Fu Silin saw this and hurriedly tried to follow as well.

However, Fu Shiyue quickly reached out and blocked her way.

"What are you doing here?" Fu Shiyue frowned slightly. "You're not allowed to come here. I have some company matters to attend to, do you understand?"

His words carried a hint of impatience.

Upon hearing Fu Shiyue's words, Fu Silin unconsciously pouted and muttered, "Fine, I won't go then. How stingy."

Although her voice wasn't loud, her dissatisfaction was still palpable.

Seeing this, Mr. Fu quickly advised, "Linlin, don't go and join in the fun. Your brother and Huaijin have some company matters to discuss, and you won't be of any help if you go."

Although somewhat unwilling, Fu Silin obediently responded to her father's words.

"Okay, Dad. My brother already said it. Say it again."

After saying that, she turned around and sat back in her original seat, saying nothing more.

The two of them went to the study.

Fu Shiyue closed the door, turned around and stared coldly at Xie Huaijin, his voice extremely low, "Tell me, what exactly happened to the Xie family? Don't tell me it was an accident."

Xie Huaijin was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Someone leaked Xie's secrets, which caused President Chen to cancel the cooperation with Xie's and instead cooperate with Red Star."

Fu Shiyue's gaze sharpened. "You suspect it's Jiang Jiyue?" Xie Huaijin nodded. "I'm not sure, but she's the most likely suspect."

Fu Shiyue sneered, "You'd better get your facts straight, or you'll wrongly accuse an innocent person. Also, are you here to borrow money again, hoping to take advantage of the Fu family?"

Xie Huaijin frowned. "No, Shi Yue, I really need this money to save the Xie family. I will definitely repay it after we get through this crisis."

Fu Shiyue's dark eyes were fixed intently on Xie Huaijin.

His voice was deep and magnetic, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible anger as he slowly said, "Xie Huaijin, I've always been puzzled as to why I almost never see you and Silin together. Coincidentally, whenever the Xie family encounters difficulties, you suddenly appear like a ghost. Do you just see the Fu family as a tool to be used at will, so that we can clean up your messes?"

"No, it was really love at first sight between Celine and me. We liked each other, so we got our marriage certificate."

Xie Huaijing explained with a serious expression.

"Oh? Is it true?" But the other party didn't seem satisfied with the answer and continued to ask.

He looked at Fu Shiyue nervously, about to continue explaining, when he was suddenly interrupted by Fu Silin standing behind him.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Of course I like him, that's why I got married to him."

Fu Silin's voice was clear and firm.

Fu Shiyue's expression changed slightly upon her sudden appearance.

"I was asking him, not you." He seemed somewhat displeased with Fu Silin's interruption.

But she still stood in front of Xie Huaijin.

"How can you treat your brother-in-law like this? Interrogating him about whether he truly loves your sister."

Looking at Xie Huaijin, who was standing in front of her, she felt a little moved.

"How can you treat your brother-in-law like this? So aggressively questioning him about whether he truly cares for your sister!"

Xie Huaijin, standing behind him, looked at Fu Silin in front of him. She stood before him without hesitation, like an unbreakable barrier, separating him from the suffocating interrogation.

Seeing that Fu Shiyue did not answer, she turned around, took Xie Huaijin's hand, and prepared to leave.

And just like that, she pulled him away.

In Fu Silin's room, she said with lingering fear, "That was close! Luckily, I arrived in time."

After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Xie Huaijin.

"Thank you for getting me out of that predicament," he said, expressing his gratitude to Fu Silin.

She then asked, "Xie Huaijin, what's going on with your company? We had a plan before: after we got our marriage certificate, you would help me deal with my family, and I would help you solve the company's financial problems. But why is the company's financial situation still so serious? I'm really worried that if this continues, our affair will be discovered sooner or later."
