However, temporary escape cannot solve the problem.

After disappearing for two days, I went to the company.

When Manman saw me, she was very excited. She grabbed me and said mysteriously, "Mr. Qi, Jiang Mingyao has been waiting for you at the company for the past two days."

I raised an eyebrow and thought to myself that Manman deserved to be mine. When I was on good terms with Jiang Mingyao before, I used to address him as General Jiang. Now that my attitude has changed, I can just call him by his name.

I patted Manman's shoulder and praised her, saying, "Well done, I'll give you a raise!"

Manman was overjoyed and thanked me three times in a row.

Jiang Mingyao was sitting on the sofa outside my office. When he saw me, he stood up. His slender figure couldn't fill out his clothes, and for the first time, I felt that he was really fragile.

"Xiao Jin..." he called me softly.

I crossed my arms and looked him up and down before asking, "Did you receive the notice to stop working?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Jiang Mingyao's face. "You haven't been home, and I couldn't reach you, so I could only come here to wait for you."

"Wait for me for what?" I asked knowingly, my tone filled with mockery.

Jiang Mingyao's expression grew even more gloomy. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

I couldn't bear to see him in such a helpless and indecisive state.

So I stopped looking at him and walked into the office, passing by him without paying any attention...

Despite the burning gaze behind me, it could no longer warm my heart.

I turned around to look at him and couldn't help but ask, "If you don't like me, why have you been entangled with me for so many years?"

It was as if he had heard something he couldn't accept. His expression changed countless times—confusion, incomprehension, and above all, a sense of humiliation.

Without hesitation, I closed the door.

Although I personally revoked my own position, I am still the actual controller of Kanghua Entertainment.

I accumulated two days' worth of work, keeping me busy until late at night.

Manman was still full of smiles after a busy day.

I smiled and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Manman shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just feel happy."

I narrowed my eyes and couldn't help but voice my suspicion, "Do you dislike Jiang Mingyao?"

Manman pursed her lips. Finally, under my relentless questioning, she calmly said, "Mr. Qi, I just feel that he doesn't know how to appreciate. I have been with you since the company was established. I have witnessed how much you have sacrificed for the company and for him, but I have never seen a hint of gratitude on his face."

"I even once suspected that you owed him something..."

Hearing Manman's words, I was suddenly lost in thought.

Yes.

What do I owe him?

What does the Qi family owe him?

Is it his father's life?
