choose?

When Liang Qingyu heard these two words, she almost laughed out of anger.

Is this giving her a choice?

She clearly had no choice.

According to the contract, all of Liang's existing shares would probably have to be sold, and he might not be able to afford it, after all, the company is still heavily in debt.

She looked at the man in front of her, her teeth almost broken, and she had no choice but to compromise.

“Cooperation remains the same.”

After hearing these four words, Xie Licheng smiled and reached out to her.

Liang Qingyu had a cold expression on her face. After waiting for a long while, she reluctantly raised her hand to shake his.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

The cheerfulness in the man's voice made Liang Qingyu even more upset, but she could only keep a stiff face and reply with a dry "Happy cooperation".

Then she pulled her hand back swiftly.

Xie Licheng didn't care and just brought the topic back to the topic, "Now, can you release me from the blacklist?"

He didn't want to have to call Liang Qingyu's company every time he wanted to contact her and take his chances.

Liang Qingyu had no reason to say no, "I will release him."

"Right now, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Xie Licheng didn't trust the person in front of him. She had done things like "pretending to obey but actually disobeying" before.

Liang Qingyu's face turned ugly. "You don't trust me. If there is no basic trust between us, is there any need for us to continue our cooperation?"

"I don't distrust you, I just don't trust myself."

The man's words made Liang Qingyu pause and frowned in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Licheng looked at her and said in a deeper voice, "If I hadn't seen you release me with my own eyes, I would have felt uneasy. I would have been thinking about this matter all the time and would have been unable to sleep at night. I would have become unlike myself."

Liang Qingyu looked at him, speechless for a moment.

She didn't believe what he said, but looking at the man's expression, she couldn't refute it in person.

It's a very strange feeling.

But the only thing that was certain was that her heart was a little confused.

Realizing the change in herself, Liang Qingyu's face changed slightly, a feeling of self-loathing surged up, and her eyes turned a little colder when she looked at the man.

"Mr. Xie, you have crossed the line. We are just a cooperative relationship at best. If you say such things again, I think it will be difficult for me to continue to cooperate with you."

Even though she knew she couldn't bear the consequences, if Xie Licheng insisted on doing something, she wouldn't mind dying with him.

Xie Licheng understood what she meant, and the gentleness in his eyes and eyebrows faded away, and the emotion he had just felt also disappeared completely.

He knew that every time, this woman would leave a wound in his heart.

But he could still tolerate it.

"Ms. Liang, you're overthinking it. We are of course just a cooperative relationship. As Party A, I want to see you remove my number from the blacklist now. Is that too much?"

Hearing his sudden cold tone, Liang Qingyu did not feel angry, but relieved.

Compared to his previous state, she is more adapted to him now, at least it doesn't make her feel weird.

She didn't argue with him anymore and gave him the number in front of him.

"Can i do it now?"

Xie Licheng watched the whole process, nodded and responded.

Liang Qingyu didn't want to continue to be entangled with him. The purpose of her coming here today had not been achieved. The only thing she could do was to minimize the time they spent together.

"It's almost time to get off work. Mr. Xie, do you have anything else to discuss? If not, I'm leaving now."

Xie Licheng originally wanted to invite people to dinner together, but when he thought of the woman who had just shown her brilliance, he temporarily gave up the idea.

Don't be impatient and don't push people too hard.

"That's all, but I hope that Mr. Liang can cooperate if there are any problems later. After all, only in this way can the cooperation between the two sides be harmonious, right?"

Everyone can say polite words.

Liang Qingyu smiled and nodded, "Of course."

After leaving Sheng Yao, Liang Qingyu drove back home. All the way, her mind was filled with thoughts about the confrontation with Xie Licheng. Except when he made that inexplicable exposition, she was completely suppressed at other times.

This was not the result she wanted. After all, she was too weak.

If the Liang family could be as powerful as Sheng Yao, the situation just now would not have occurred at all.

She gripped the steering wheel, her determination to become strong stronger than ever.

She must put herself and Xie Licheng on an equal footing and no longer be forced by anyone to do anything she doesn't want to do.

When she returned to the villa, Zhan Tingxia had already prepared dinner. When he saw her come in, he immediately came over to greet her.

"How about it?"

Liang Qingyu didn't say anything, she just walked forward and hugged the person. She really wanted to gain some strength now.

Zhan Tingxia's body stiffened slightly, then he hugged her, his voice filled with worry and hidden anger, "Did that fellow Xie Licheng bully you? If so, I'll go and settle the score with him!"

Hearing these heartwarming words, Liang Qingyu's broken heart was soothed and he stepped out of her arms.

"No, I just felt a little tired. After hugging Lady Zhan, I immediately regained my energy."

Zhan Tingxia didn't believe it and stared at her face, as if trying to find some flaw.

"Qingyu, you don't have to hide anything from me. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I really regard you as a lifelong friend."

Liang Qingyu was even more touched, "Me too, but I really wasn't bullied."

After all, Xie Licheng called her over just to ask her to remove someone from the blacklist.

It was just that some invisible things made her realize her own limitations, Liang's limitations, and that she still had a long way to go in the future.

"Then tell me what happened in Shengyao."

Zhan Tingxia was still a little worried.

Liang Qingyu did not hide anything, omitted some things that should not be said, and roughly recounted the situation.

After hearing that Xie Licheng took advantage of people's numbness and laxity towards the same field and planted his little tricks in unnoticed places, Zhan Tingxia couldn't help but get angry.

"What, is this guy so despicable?"

Liang Qingyu did not comment.

This is what businessmen are like, they will do anything to achieve their goals, even if it means using shady means.

But, in the final analysis, they were too careless.

In that situation, the most important thing to do is to stay calm and not be swayed by emotions.

Perhaps none of them have done this, and they need to be more vigilant in the future.

"In short, the cooperation still needs to continue. Just be more careful later on."

"But according to Xie Licheng's tone, you should have frequent contact with him in the future. What if he finds out ... "

Zhan Tingxia's gaze fell on her lower abdomen.

Liang Qingyu also thought of it, but some things could not be avoided. She touched her belly which was not yet visible.

"I'll be careful and won't let him find out."
