After the divorce, the boss tore off my vest with his own hands

"not like this!"

Chu Zhixin denied it immediately, with a look of embarrassment as if someone had seen through her. "I did this to minimize the negative impact. Even if this matter had nothing to do with Sheng Tingye, I would still do this."

"Row."

The principal didn't ask any more questions, but nodded. "I was thinking of taking care of this myself, since I'm going to retire soon anyway. But since you're willing to step forward, I won't refuse. After all, my pension is very important. If this gets out of hand, not only will my family be disgraced, but I might not even be able to take care of myself in my old age. It's scary to think about it."

"I'm sorry, principal. After all, I have to take some responsibility for this matter. I'm really grateful that you gave Qiao An such a job opportunity. She really cherishes this opportunity and even said that being a teacher is her new life."

Chu Zhixin sincerely apologized and thanked the principal.

Because she knew very well that without her brother going crazy, the matter would not have reached such a serious level, so it was only right and reasonable that he should step up and take the responsibility.

"Hey, why are you thanking me? I'm only doing this for Mr. Sheng's sake. If you really want to thank someone, it's better to thank Mr. Sheng."

The principal looked at his watch, then suddenly stood up, nervously adjusting his clothes, "Look, I happened to have an appointment with Mr. Sheng today, and he will be here soon."

"What, he...he's here too?"

Chu Zhixin panicked for a moment, feeling guilty as if he had been caught doing something bad, and quickly said to the principal, "Then let's settle this matter. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. If you need me to come forward, just call me directly."

"Hey, Miss Chu is leaving?"

The principal tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Mr. Sheng will be here soon. Wouldn't it be better if you two could discuss a solution together? I just happened to have booked a private room at the Wanhelou. Let's talk while we eat."

"No, no, I have something else to do at home, let's do it another day!"

Chu Zhixin said this politely as he backed out of the office.

As she retreated, she finally reached a wall of people. She knew who the people in this wall came from even with her eyes closed. She couldn't help frowning and felt like digging a hole to bury herself in.

Damn, what kind of luck is this? She has tried her best to avoid any interaction with Sheng Tingye. She even chose a weekday afternoon to visit the principal. How could she still run into him? Does this guy really not need to go to work?

"Haha, Mr. Sheng, you really are the one who brings the trouble. Miss Chu and I were just talking about you!"

The principal welcomed Sheng Tingye warmly.

Sheng Tingye stood tall, as handsome and noble as ever. He glanced at Chu Zhixin in front of him and said indifferently, "Really? What did you talk about me?"

"nothing!"

Chu Zhixin killed the topic before the principal could answer, and then just smiled politely at Sheng Tingye.

"Principal, Mr. Sheng, I'm busy at home, so I'll leave first. You guys can chat slowly."

The woman didn't know why, but she didn't want to stay with Sheng Tingye. She deliberately avoided his sight and walked around him to leave.

In her opinion, since they have broken up, they should break up completely. Don't see him, don't talk to him, don't think about him, and don't miss him. After a long time, she will get used to the life without him, and he will not affect her mood anymore.

"This……"

The principal looked a little embarrassed, but still hoped Chu Zhixin could stay. "Miss Chu, do you want to discuss your proposal with President Sheng? I think we should listen to President Sheng on this matter. What if he has another way of dealing with it?"

"no need."

Chu Zhixin lost her gentleness and became strong and cold. "If you think it's not okay, just do it. I'm just giving you a reference. After all, I'm the most qualified to stay out of this matter."

"what?"

A fine layer of sweat appeared on the principal's forehead. He thought to himself, that's not what you said just now. Why do you suddenly become such a different person?

After Chu Zhixin finished speaking, she was about to leave with a gloomy face, but Sheng Tingye grabbed her wrist with his backhand, "Since you're here, you don't have to leave in a hurry, right?"

"I'm here to do my thing, and you're here to do your thing. There's no need to mix things up."

Chu Zhixin still had an indifferent attitude and a strong desire to leave, and...it was more like he wanted to escape than to leave.

"Are you so afraid of me?"

Sheng Tingye looked at the woman with a deep and complicated gaze, filled with the contempt of a superior.

How could Chu Zhixin be under someone else's control? She was immediately aroused to fight. She gritted her teeth and shook off the man's hand. "Who's afraid of you? You want to talk, right? Then let's talk!"

She looked at the principal again and took the initiative to suggest, "Principal, didn't you say you had reserved a seat at 'Wanhelou'? Then why are you still standing there? Let's go. I'm hungry anyway."

"Okay, then, let's not delay any more and go through the special passage!"

The principal said attentively.

Sheng Tingye frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

He originally came to see the principal just to give a few brief instructions and had no intention of having dinner with the principal. However, since he ran into Chu Zhixin by chance, he knew that he shouldn't get too entangled with her, but the physical proximity had already made him lose his basic rationality, and he subconsciously wanted to stay with her more.

As the school gate was filled with parents who were making trouble and the media who were afraid that things would not get out of hand, they followed the principal's instructions and went straight to the underground garage, preparing to set off from the garage.

The principal was leading the way in a car and had a smooth journey.

Sheng Tingye and Qi Ye followed closely in the car behind.

Both of them were sitting in the back seat of the car. The cramped space made their legs touch each other from time to time. Both the physical distance and the psychological distance brought them closer.

"Why are you here?"

Sheng Tingye asked Chu Zhixin in a low voice.

"This is my business, there's no need to explain it to you, right?"

Chu Zhixin looked out the window and didn't want to tell Sheng Tingye to execute it.

If he knew that she was prepared to take on everything, he would definitely think that she was doing it for him, and he would be so happy!

"let me see……"

Sheng Tingye's eyes were sharp, with a hint of coldness, and his expression was playful: "You have to come here to clean up the mess for Chu Zhihan, right?"

"..."

Chu Zhixin pursed her lips and said nothing.

"The lunatic that the parents accused of strangling them should be your brother, so..."

Sheng Tingye hit the nail on the head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Qiao An is also in your hands now."

"Whatever you say is in our hands!"

Chu Zhixin didn't like this statement, and glared at Sheng Tingye and said, "Are we some kind of monster? Has she fallen into some kind of devil's cave by staying with us?"
