If Liang Yu were to distance himself from him because of the change of president at the Fang Group, then he might as well give up on the Fang Group altogether.

Yan Qi's pace quickened as he pursued, his heart pounding wildly.

All his plans were disrupted by Liang Yu's sudden appearance today.

He could tell from Liang Yu's eyes that Liang Yu must have misunderstood something.

Yan Qi's heart was pounding, and he felt as if his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

He suddenly felt immense regret.

He should have told Liang Yu who he was sooner.

Even if Liang Yu rejects him and avoids him again, it would still be much better than the current situation.

The feeling of being out of control made my mind a complete mess, my reason was shattered, and all that was left was panic and helplessness.

Yan Qi knew he couldn't let Liang Yu leave directly, he couldn't let her leave with such a misunderstanding, and he couldn't let her hide away and be sad alone.

For Yu Yanqi, the shareholders' meeting, control of the group, and the prestige of a powerful figure are not as important as Liang Yu.

The corridor was empty, and Liang Yu's figure was almost at the elevator entrance.

She walked quickly, her shoulders trembling slightly, trying her best to hold back her tears.

Looking at Liang Yu's thin yet stubborn back, Yan Qi felt a sense of desolation that bordered on despair.

He quickened his pace and hurried to catch up.

The moment Liang Yu stepped out of the conference room, he felt dizzy as if his brain was lacking oxygen, and he wished he could escape from this place immediately.

Just as she pressed the elevator button, a strong force suddenly came from behind and grabbed her arm tightly.

Liang Yu turned around and looked up, seeing Yan Qi panting as he strode after him.

Yan Qi's temples were damp with fine sweat, and his once-perfectly tailored suit was slightly disheveled, revealing an indescribable sense of embarrassment in his eyes.

Before Liang Yu could speak, Yan Qi looked down at her and spoke first.

Yan Qi's dark eyes held a calm stubbornness, like a dying man grasping at the last piece of driftwood:

"It's not what you think."

Liang Yu struggled desperately, his face contorted with emotion.

I don't want to talk to you right now.

Yan Qi lowered his head. Despite being a tall, powerful figure, he looked like a pitiful, abandoned puppy when he bent over.

You've misunderstood me...

Yan Qi's voice was almost hoarse and inaudible, as if he didn't know how to explain or how to persuade her to stay.

So he could only repeat the same words, emphasizing that Liang had misunderstood him.

Yan Qi looked at Liang Yu with a pleading, anxious gaze, his dark eyes filled with earnestness:

"Can you let me explain?"

Liang Yu was trembling all over. She calmed herself down and slowly looked at Yan Qi before speaking:

"Mr. Yan, I've already said I don't want to talk to you."

In Yan Qi's pupils, Liang Yu clearly saw his own figure as a cold-blooded executioner.

It cruelly extinguished those hopeful eyes, little by little.

"President Yan, I hate you."

Liang Yu's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly.

"Let's stop contacting each other."

After leaving the Fang family building, Liang Yu took a taxi directly back to Lishu Village.

After she entered the house, she immediately nestled on the sofa and burst into tears.

She finally understood why Yan Qi had such a powerful aura.

It turns out that it was the aura that those in positions of power naturally possessed.

No wonder Yan Qi was able to arrive in time to save her with so many bodyguards and people in Jiangcheng that time.

At first, she thought it was a coincidence, but later she took it for granted that Yan Qi and Zhao Wen were acquainted, and that it was Zhao Wen who told Yan Qi to take care of her safety, which is why Yan Qi stepped in to save her.

Looking back now, she feels she was incredibly foolish.

She was completely fooled by Yan Qi, just like a fool.

Liang Yu's tears fell like beads from a broken string, and her heart ached as if it were being squeezed and turned in someone's hand.

She considered this person a good friend.

She developed a dependence on such a person.

Liang Yu's eyes were red and swollen from crying when the phone vibrated.

Liang Yu picked up his phone and glanced at it; it was a call from Lin Xiao.

She sniffed, pressed the answer button, and Lin Xiao's voice immediately came through the phone:

"Xiao Yu, where are you? I'm at Grandma's, but I can't find you."

Liang Yu replied with a heavy nasal tone:

"I've gone back to Lishu Village, I'm not at the hospital."

Lin Xiao heard Liang Yu's choked voice and immediately became anxious:

"What happened? Why did you come back to Pear Tree Village all of a sudden? Were you crying? Did something happen? I'm coming to Pear Tree Village to find you right now, wait for me."

Liang Yu hummed in response, his voice nasal:

"Okay, drive carefully."

Lin Xiao hung up the phone, rushed to the parking lot, and sped towards Lishu Village.

In Lin Xiao's mind, Liang Yu was a very strong girl who rarely cried.

Even when Liang Yu learned of the existence of someone like Shi Ya, or when he learned that his grandmother had been given a nerve poison by Cao Lan, he never cried so much that he couldn't even finish a sentence.

What on earth happened?

That could make Liang Yu so heartbroken and sad.

Lin Xiao rushed to Lishu Village and, upon entering the house, put his arm around Liang Yu's arm and carefully looked him up and down.

Seeing Liang Yu standing before her unharmed, she breathed a long sigh of relief and cautiously asked:

"Xiao Yu, what happened?"

Lin Xiao finally learned the whole story from Liang Yu's hoarse description.

She repeated in disbelief:

"You mean, Yan Qi is the second young master of the Yan family in Hong Kong? And he's already the largest shareholder of the Fang Group?"

"Yan Qi even wants to remove Fang Ze from his position as president today and appoint his own people to manage the Fang Group?!"

"Then why would Yan Qi bother being your driver? Braving wind and rain to pick you up and drop you off?"

Lin Xiao stared in astonishment for a long time, then rolled up her sleeves menacingly and continued through gritted teeth:

"No, is Yan Qi sick?"

"Do you have a blood feud between you? Why would he need to lie to you like this?"

"Is it just for fun?"

Liang Yu raised his red and swollen eyes, looked at Lin Xiao's indignant expression, and did not say anything.

She didn't know why Yan Qi lied to her, but judging from the current situation, it was probably to get the shares of Fang's Group that she owned.

The reason why Yan Qi was able to become the largest shareholder of Fang's Group quietly under Fang Ze's nose was simply because he secretly acquired shares from many small shareholders.

Seeing that Liang Yu remained silent, his expression dark and gloomy, Lin Xiao boldly guessed:

"Xiao Yu, could it be that Yan Qi knows you hold shares in the Fang Group?"

Liang Yu did not deny it. After a few seconds of silence, he replied in a low, booming voice:

"That's what I was thinking too."

"President Chen and Fang Ze have always had a good relationship. President Chen invested in Fang Ze's company from the very beginning of his business, but Yan Qi also bought a portion of President Chen's shares."

"Yan Qi acquired 51% of the Fang Group's shares within two months."

"Without using some unconventional methods, it would have been impossible for Yan Qi to acquire so many shares in such a short period of time so quietly."

Lin Xiao stomped her foot in anger, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully:

"No wonder Yan Qi had such an unapproachable aura; it turns out it was his cunning and treacherous nature!"

Lin Xiao clenched his fists and waved his arms wildly, as if he wanted to give Yan Qi a good beating, but after a moment, he immediately slumped down.

"But he's the second young master of the Yan family in Hong Kong, and I can't afford to offend him..."

"Otherwise, I would definitely give him a good beating!"

-

After Yan Qi followed Liang Yu out of the conference room, the entire conference room erupted in chaos.

The shareholders began to whisper among themselves.

"I never imagined that President Yan was actually the second young master of the Yan family in Hong Kong. I had only heard that he was ruthless and decisive in killing, but meeting him today, I feel that he is even more ruthless than the rumors suggest..."

"If the second young master of the Yan family has his eye on the Fang Group, then President Fang will definitely have no room for maneuver..."

"Yes, we originally thought that President Fang had core technologies and could lead the Fang Group to greater heights, but now it seems that President Yan is more capable..."

"That's right. No matter how good or professional the technology is, it will still fail before it's even started without financial support. If we go against President Yan, the future of the Fang Group will be in serious jeopardy..."

"Exactly! President Yan could easily restructure the Fang Group and IPO it. Let's all vote with President Yan..."

"But President Yan has already left the meeting room. Should the voting continue?"

"Don't worry, we'll wait for President Yan to return."

Just as all the shareholders had tacitly reached a consensus and were preparing to immediately sue Yan Qi and agree to remove Fang Ze from his position as president, Kang Liang timely announced to everyone:

"Dear shareholders, I apologize, Mr. Yan has urgent matters to attend to. Today's shareholders' meeting is now adjourned. Any issues that were not resolved today will be discussed at the next meeting."

After watching Liang Yu close the elevator door in front of him, Yan Qi stood there for a long time, lost in thought.

Only after Kang Liang adjourned the meeting and quietly walked to Yan Qi's side did Yan Qi speak in a low voice:

Where did she go?

Kang Liang immediately replied respectfully:

"Young Master Qi, Miss Liang has returned to Lishu Village. Shall you go there now?"

Yan Qi pressed his thin lips together, not speaking immediately, the gloom in his eyes already shattered into countless pieces.

Can he go there now?

But Liang Yu said she hated him.

Liang Yu also said that they should no longer contact each other.

What should he do?

Yan Qi remained silent for a long while before finally asking Kang Liang:

Did she recognize you when she was in the conference room?
