CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

"Goodbye!" With these crisp and decisive words, Shen Jingyan's graceful figure slowly turned around. She was seen to be walking with the wind, and each step was light and steady, like a dancing butterfly, or a shining star.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, including surprise, admiration, and a subtle sense of loss. He murmured to himself, "...I hope you won't regret it. I, Jiang Xiyan, am not that easy to get close to." He clenched his fists slightly, as if to cheer himself up.

"Tsundere man." Shen Jingyan smiled helplessly, picked up the phone, and walked out of Jiang Xiyan's villa.

When Jiang Xiyan heard what Shen Jingyan said, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly in the direction where Shen Jingyan left: "This woman actually dared to say that to me!"

On a summer night, the breeze blows gently, but with a hint of dryness, as if reminding people that the enthusiasm of summer has not completely subsided. The barbecue stall on the street is like a bright pearl in the night, filled with tempting aroma, which drifts in the air and arouses people's taste buds. Shen Jingyan, Ye Ziyuan and Lin Xi sat around a small table, which was filled with various skewers, like a colorful food painting.

The charcoal fire was red as fire, the skewers sizzled on the iron rack, the fat dripped, and small sparks splashed, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Shen Jingyan picked up a skewer of lamb and took a bite. The tender lamb exuded a rich aroma in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "The barbecue here tastes really good."

Her voice was brisk and joyful, as if she was praising this delicacy. Ye Ziyuan smiled and nodded, wiping the oil stains from the corners of her mouth with a tissue, and said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a relaxing barbecue." Her eyes showed her cherishment of this moment of relaxation. But Lin Xi was a little absent-minded, her eyes drifting away from time to time, as if she was thinking about something far away and deep.

Suddenly, Lin Xi's phone vibrated in her pocket. The vibration sounded particularly abrupt in this quiet night, as if an uninvited guest had broken the tranquility. She frowned slightly, put down the skewers in her hand impatiently, and took out her phone from the pocket of her work clothes. When she saw the caller displayed on the phone screen, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. It was her father who had never given her care.

Lin Xi took a deep breath, trying to calm down her emotions that were disturbed by the phone call, and then slowly pressed the answer button. "Mr. Lin, is there anything I can do for you?" Her tone was cold and distant, as if the person on the other side was just a stranger. The cold tone revealed the pain and disappointment deep in her heart.

The slightly old voice of my father came from the other end of the phone: "Xixi, so many years have passed, are you still angry with me?" There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in my father's voice, as if after years of tempering, he also felt his past mistakes.

Lin Xi's eyes turned cold instantly. She held the phone tightly, her nails almost digging into the phone case. "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed in you. I will never forgive you!" Her voice trembled slightly, suppressing the pain and anger she had accumulated over the years. Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing her own heart and the father on the other end of the phone.

The father was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Xixi, your grandma is dying. She really wants to see you. Can you come back?" The father's voice was full of pleading, as if at this moment, he also realized the preciousness of family affection.

Lin Xi's heart was shaken. Grandma, the one who loved her the most since she was a child. Her eyes were moistened instantly, but her resentment towards her father did not diminish. "Okay, but I came back just to see grandma. As for you, I will never forgive you, because you made me lose my mother forever. I hate you..." She gritted her teeth and said this, then hung up the phone. The decisive sound of hanging up seemed to declare her dissatisfaction and resentment towards her father.

Lin Xi leaned against the wall of the workshop, tears finally bursting out of her eyes. She remembered her mother's gentle smile and warm embrace when she was a child, but all of this disappeared forever because of her father's fault. She hated her father's selfishness and ruthlessness, and hated him for making her childhood full of pain and sadness. The tears rushed out like a flood that broke through the dam, and could not be stopped.

However, grandma was one of the most important people in her life, and she couldn't let her leave with regrets. Lin Xi wiped away her tears and decided to put down her work and go back to visit her grandma. She knew that this meeting might be the last, but she also knew that the resentment towards her father might never be eliminated.

Shen Jingyan and Ye Ziyuan noticed that Lin Xi was different and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Xixi? What happened?" Their eyes were full of worry and concern. Lin Xi held back her tears and told them about her grandmother's condition. Shen Jingyan held Lin Xi's hand and comforted her: "Don't be too sad, we will go back with you." Her voice was gentle and firm, as if she was giving Lin Xi strength. Ye Ziyuan also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xixi, let's go back together." Her eyes were full of support and encouragement.

The three of them hurriedly paid the bill and rushed to Lin Xi's hometown, V City. Along the way, Lin Xi felt heavy and complicated. She was worried about her grandmother's condition and was afraid to face her father. The complicated mood was like an intertwined net, tightly binding her heart.

When they finally arrived at grandma's house, a luxurious villa came into view. The huge carved iron gate slowly opened, as if welcoming the owner's return. A cobblestone path led to the main house. The cobblestones shone softly in the sun, as if telling the story of the years. The appearance of the villa was magnificent, the white marble walls shone in the sun, and the exquisite carved decorations showed luxury and elegance. The carvings were like works of art, delicate and exquisite, which made people admire them.

Shen Jingyan and Ye Ziyuan widened their eyes in surprise. They never thought that Lin Xi was the daughter of the Lin family, who were rich enough to rival a country in M ​​City. Ye Ziyuan looked around at the luxurious scene and couldn't help but sigh! "Lin Xi, your family is so rich? You actually pretend to be so low-key in front of us!" Her voice was full of surprise and admiration.

"Yes, Lin Xi, I remember when I first met you, I saw you working so hard and thought your family was in some difficulties, so you wanted to work hard to make money!" Shen Jingyan looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, her eyes full of confusion.

"Five years ago, I left this home alone. I never thought about asking for a penny from this family. I just wanted to be self-reliant. Before I met you, I suffered a lot. Since I met you, I have been in charge of the clothing store business for you. You have paid me very well. Now our factory business is also very good. Even if I don't rely on this family, I can live a good life by myself!" Lin Xi stood there quietly, staring at the blooming cherry tree in front of her, as if the whole world was left with only her and this beautiful tree. The cherry tree is like a beautiful fairy, quietly blooming its beauty. She raised her head slightly, revealing a trace of thought and confusion in her eyes. Perhaps she was touched by this gorgeous beauty, or perhaps there was some unspeakable emotion surging in her heart. The delicate petals seemed to carry countless stories and memories, which made her fall into contemplation involuntarily.

"Lin Xi, what's wrong with you?" Shen Jingyan called out to him as she saw him staring at the cherry tree in a daze. Her voice was filled with concern and curiosity.

"Do you see that cherry tree? It's so beautiful. My mom and I planted it together. If it weren't for my damn dad, he wouldn't have left this world!" Lin Xi's voice was filled with sadness and anger. The cherry tree seemed to be a pain in her heart that she couldn't let go.

"Lin Xi, it's all in the past, don't be sad!" Ye Ziyuan thought of the past. After his parents passed away, he and his brother depended on each other. "Actually, my experience is very similar to yours. My father also cheated on his secretary. My mother also left because of this. My father finally repented, but it was too late. Two years later, he also left the world. From then on, my brother and I depended on each other. You see, we are fine now, aren't we? So you must be strong!" Her voice was full of understanding and encouragement.

Lin Xi looked at Ye Ziyuan, "Ziyuan, you are right, let the past become history, let's go in!" Her eyes revealed a hint of determination and courage.

They walked into the villa. The spacious hall had a high ceiling design, and the huge crystal chandelier emitted a brilliant light. The light was like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly. The precious carpet covered the floor, soft and comfortable. The furniture was carefully selected high-end goods, and each piece revealed luxury and taste. The luxurious decoration made people feel as if they were in a palace.

However, at this moment, they had no mood to appreciate this luxurious environment. Their eyes were focused on the grandmother lying weakly on the bed. There were also several doctors around her, their expressions were serious, as if they were having a silent battle with the god of death.

When grandma saw Lin Xi, a relieved smile appeared in her eyes. She stretched out her hand with difficulty, and Lin Xi quickly held grandma's hand and burst into tears. "You all go out, I want to have a good chat with my Xiao Xi!" Grandma's voice was weak but full of love. That love was like a warm sunshine, illuminating the darkness in Lin Xi's heart.

"Grandma, are you okay?" Lin Xi's voice was full of worry and concern. Her eyes revealed her deep love for her grandma.

"I'm so glad to see you back!" Grandma's voice was weak but full of joy. That joy was like a spring flower, blooming with the vitality of life.
