Liu Qi stared blankly at the intact guardrail. In her previous life, when she rushed to the scene, the iron guardrail was crumpled together, but was still intact. However, her parents car rolled down the hillside outside the guardrail.
According to the police investigation results, it was directly knocked
out by three BMW X5s that were going in the opposite direction. However, only the owners of two cars were caught. Both said that they were drunk before going in the opposite direction. As for the other person called Liu Fu, it was a hit-and-run!
In Liu Qi’s heart, this was not an accident, but a murder.
She still remembered Liu Fu, who had escaped the law, and the license plate number of his car. After she married Nangong Shu, she had been searching with the police for three years, but to no avail.
“Ah Qi? What are you looking at?” Father Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where Liu Qi was looking. He only saw the iron guardrail. It was ordinary and nothing special.
Only then did Liu Qi come back to her senses. She turned her head and smiled at Father Liu. She gently pulled together the clothes on her shoulders and shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Then, she wanted to take out her phone to check the time, but she realized that she did not have it with her. She must have forgotten it at home. She hurriedly asked, “Dad, what time is it?”
“9:31am.” Father Liu said while looking at his watch.
It seemed that it would be okay. In her previous life, the time of the accident was 9:00am sharp. Her father was a punctual person. He set off at 8:55am every day, and almost every day at 9:00, he would arrive at the South Gate Overpass.
Presumably, this was what gave the bad guys a chance!
But today, there were no accidents, which made Liu Qi feel that it was murder!
“You little girl, are you tired? You don’t want to walk anymore?” It was rare for Father Liu to have a smile on his face, and his tone was a little funny and helpless. Perhaps it was because it was the first time he talked to his daughter like this too.
“No, let’s go quickly!” Liu Qi said and took two steps forward to prove that she could still walk.
At 11:00am.
The father and daughter arrived at Xiangtian Corporation in the center of South City. It was an office building. The assistant, Liu Dasong, had been waiting at the entrance of the company for a long time. When he saw his boss, he quickly went up to greet him.
“President, you’re finally here. Did you walk here? I pushed the meeting for you, but President Wang from the building materials company is coming to discuss the cooperation soon.” Liu Dasong said, just as Liu Dasong finished speaking, he saw a dainty girl following the president, Liu Xiangtian.
Father Liu looked at his daughter behind him, and said to Liu Dasong, “Xiao Liu, make some arrangements. Find someone to bring my daughter out for a meal.”
Then, Father Liu said to Liu Qi sternly, “Daddy is going to discuss business. Be good. After the meal, I’ll get someone to send you back. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes! I understand!”
Liu Qi nodded like she was pounding garlic.
At this time, Liu Dasong had already run to the front desk and found a beautiful and intelligent front desk sister to take care of her. Then, Liu Dasong left with Liu Xiangtian.
“Miss Liu, how are you doing? My name is Wang Xue.” Wang Xue greeted her very politely and introduced herself. She wore a white shirt and a black knee-length skirt, giving people a nice first impression of her good looks.
Liu Qi nodded slightly. “Yes, hello.”
It was a simple greeting, but Liu Qi did not want to talk to Wang Xue much. In fact, she has a bit of social phobia. Although it was not serious, she was still lazy and did not want to talk to strangers. She always felt uncomfortable.
“Miss Liu, what do you like to eat? I can also recommend some restaurants for you.” Wang Xue asked with a smile. She did not feel that Liu Qi was cold and aloof. Instead, she felt that this little girl was quite easy to get along with. At least, she would not make things difficult for her.
“I don’t know.” Liu Qi really did not know what to eat. She was so tired that she did not have much of an appetite.

At this moment, Wang Xue’s earpiece flashed. She first bowed slightly to Liu Qi, then turned around to answer the phone.
“Okay, I got it. Okay, don’t worry.”
After saying that, Wang Xue hung up, she hurriedly said to Liu Qi, “Miss Liu, Assistant Liu said that your mother called him. She said that you left your phone with President Shen. President Shen wants to meet you at Nanyue Hotel.”
“Shen Nanxiao!” It turned out that she had left her phone at the Shen family’s house. It was her fault for leaving in such a hurry and forgetting it!
An hour later, a car stopped at the entrance to the Nanyue Hotel. This hotel belonged to the Shen family and was a special five-star business hotel. The location was good, the service was good, the environment was good, and the price was naturally high.
Four people stood at the door. They were all young ladies with decent looks. Their makeup was appropriate, and they wore white shirts and black trousers. It gave people a sense of tidiness and comfort.
When Liu Qi was about a meter away from the door to welcome the guests, the four of them bowed 45 degrees and said, “Welcome. Please come in.”
Then, a man came to welcome her. It was Shen Nanxiao’s assistant, Wu Feng. He wore a business suit and smiled very respectfully. “Miss Liu, please follow me.”
“Okay.” Liu Qi felt that her heart was beating a little fast. She recalled what Shen Nanxiao had said to her in her previous life. He was so gentle and did not sound like Shen Nanxiao at all.
She had always thought that Shen Nanxiao hated her too. He had never given her a smile and had a cold and aloof personality. This made Liu Qi to think that Shen Nanxiao was a bad person in her previous life. Since he did not like her, why did he not refuse her to marry him, she was the only one who resisted her parents and family.
Speaking of which, there was nothing wrong with Shen Nanxiao other than not knowing how to smile.
“Miss Liu, we’re here.” As Wu Feng spoke, he was about to knock on the door for her.
“Wait!” Liu Qi stopped Wu Feng’s actions and then said with a smile, “I’ll do it. You go and do your work.”
Wu Feng bowed respectfully and did not say anything. He left with a smile.
Liu Qi stood at the door for a minute. She raised her hand and placed it on the door for a minute. She was thinking, what should she say first?
She wanted to apologize to Shen Nanxiao, but she was afraid that it would be too sudden. Forget it, forget it. She was only here to take her phone.
Her raised hand was about to knock on the door when she heard a cold male voice from inside, “Please come in.”
After hearing the voice, Liu Qi’s face instantly turned red. She had not even knocked on the door yet, and her hand was hanging in mid-air.
She held the door handle and twisted it down. Crack! The door opened with a sound, and a dazzling light seeped out from the crack. As the door was pushed in, the simple and elegant decorations inside were gradually seen clearly, as well as the man who was sitting at the dining table looking at her.
“I… I’m not too late, am I?” Liu Qi smiled awkwardly. She did not even close the door before she hurriedly sat down opposite Shen Nanxiao.
“Just on time.” Shen Nanxiao’s tone was neither happy nor indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.
Perhaps this was the reason why Liu Qi felt that Shen Nanxiao did not like her either. Who would be so cold to the person they liked.

“What do you want to eat?” Shen Nanxiao asked and handed the menu to her.
Shen Nanxiao had canceled all his trips today and pushed all the matters of the company to the vice president just to ask someone out. Fortunately, she came.
“I’ll get a bowl of wonton. I don’t really have an appetite right now.” Liu Qi originally really did not have an appetite, but this sentence had a different meaning when Shen Nanxiao heard it.
Liu Qi raised her head and saw Shen Nanxiao looking at her with a heavy gaze. He did not say anything. His eyes were too calm, like a cold pond covered with thin ice. For a moment, Liu Qi did not dare to look him in the eye. She could only glance out of the window.
She was thinking, what did Shen Nanxiao’s gaze mean? Could it be her illusion? Or was Shen Nanxiao really annoying?
