Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 986, 987, 988, 989, 990, 991, 992, 993, 994, 995) 

Chapter 986

When Ai Chunrou saw the car drive into the hospital, the corners of her mouth curled up into a huge smile.

She gently bumped Liu Gaoyi’s arm with her arm.

“Did you see that? The car drove into the hospital.”

Liu Gaoyi frowned in confusion and asked, “Why did she bring us to the hospital?”

Ai Chunrou snorted.

“What else can she do? Didn’t you hear what I just said? She knows that she can’t lie anymore, so she deliberately delayed us here! However, she’s smarter than I thought. She knows how to find an excuse that she’s not feeling well so that we can only stare and not find a reason to refute her. However, she’s still too inexperienced and treats the two of us as fools.”

Liu Gaoyi agreed deeply, but there was an indescribable sense of apprehension in the depths of his heart, and this apprehension seemed to be getting more and more intense.

At that moment, the car stopped completely.

Melody Fox was the first to stand up. He turned around and said to the puzzled crowd, “We’re here. Everyone, get out of the car. However, there are many of us here. After entering the hospital, don’t make a fuss and disturb the patient’s rest.”

The busload of people looked at each other, clearly even more puzzled.

Ai Chunrou also vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Why didn’t she follow the script she had guessed? According to her script, Melody Fox should pretend to be unwell and go to the hospital for treatment.

She had even thought of a way to deal with it: She would accompany Melody Fox to see a doctor the entire time. In the end, she finds out that she is not sick and slaps Melody Fox in the face.

But why was it different?

Ai Chunrou was an impatient person. When she saw that Melody Fox had already gotten out of the car, she squeezed past the people on the walkway and followed Melody Fox out of the car first.

At the same time, Liu Gaoyi, who was getting more and more nervous, rolled his eyes and called out to his assistant.

He handed the contract in his hand to his assistant and instructed in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Take the contract and find the nearest print shop to print a new copy. Before you print it, change the two contents of the contract.”

The assistant nodded and asked, “Which modifications?”

Liu Gaoyi lowered his voice even more and whispered into his assistant’s ear.

The assistant’s eyes lit up and he gave Liu Gaoyi a thumbs up.

“Manager, you’re so smart.”

“Cut the crap and go quickly! You must hand it back to me before she really meets the people from Oujing.”

“Yes!”

Outside the car.

Ai Chunrou shouted at Melody Fox, “Melody Fox, stop right there!”

Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Ai Chunrou coldly.

“Ms. Ai, our relationship doesn’t seem to be one where you can call me by my name. Don’t you even have the most basic courtesy now?”

Ai Chunrou walked forward in a few steps and snorted coldly. “Melody Fox, stop pretending in front of me. So what if you’re the young master’s wife? Has he ever touched you? Aren’t you just relying on the Swanson family and the fact that Margaret likes you and has the title Mrs. Swanson on your head?”

“What does it have to do with you whether Ken Swanson touched me or not?” Melody Fox laughed. “Do you like to inquire about other couples’ sex life so much?”

“You-“

Ai Chunrou was so angry that her face turned red.

She gritted her teeth and said, “I know why you came to the company to take on this project. Isn’t it because Young Master has always looked down on you? Do you want to perform in front of him? I admire your thick skin, but you’re really on the wrong path. It was a mistake to walk down this path for someone like you who has no education, family background, or even looks!”

“I’ve been kind enough to tell you from the beginning that this project is not something a person like you can take down. However, you didn’t listen to a word I said. You really plan to go all the way.”

“But it’s not too late for you to admit your mistake now. Once you’re divorced from the Eldest Young Master, I can arrange a job for you. As long as you’re honest and don’t covet things that don’t belong to you, I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing. Anyway, it’s better than being in danger now. It’s better to follow my advice and get a divorce.”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes.

“Miss Ai, you’re really quite ridiculous. You’re the one who’s in danger, right? You’re about to lose your job, yet you still have the time to care about my future?”

“You! You’re simply unrepentant! Let me tell you, no matter how much the Elder Mrs. Margaret Swanson’s family likes you, she won’t be able to protect your position for long. Margaret Swanson is old, and I heard that her health isn’t good all year round. She won’t be able to live for long, and she won’t be able to protect you much… Ah!!”

A crisp slap sounded, and Ai Chunrou’s face was slapped to the side.

“How dare you hit me?!” Ai Chunrou widened her eyes in anger and raised her hand to hit Melody.

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Spencer grabbed it.

Before she could react, she was already forced to kneel on the ground by Spencer’s grappling hand. She was kneeling in front of Melody Fox.

“Let go of me!” Ai Chunrou wanted to break free, but how could Spencer give her the chance?

The more she struggled, the harder Spencer pressed down.

Her body was almost folded together.

“Pain, pain… Let go of me… Help!”

Ai Chunrou cried out in pain.

Coincidentally, Liu Gaoyi was done with his orders and got out of the car.

When he saw Ai Chunrou kneeling on the ground by Melody Fox’s bodyguards, his expression changed slightly. Everyone knew that he was in an alliance with Ai Chunrou. Now that Melody Fox was doing this to Ai Chunrou, it was almost equivalent to doing this to him.

He took a few steps forward with a dark expression, but when he saw Spencer’s murderous face, he immediately panicked. He could only say to Melody Fox, “Mrs. Swanson, what are you doing? How can you hit someone casually? Hurry up and get your men to let go of Team Leader Ai.”

Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “I can let her go, but she must apologize for cursing Grandma Margaret. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you face.”

Liu Gaoyi opened his mouth wide in shock.

“Curse Margaret Swanson?”

He suddenly looked at Ai Chunrou and said, “Ai Chunrou, what’s wrong with you? How dare you spout such nonsense! Apologize now!”

Ai Chunrou was in so much pain that tears were flowing out of her eyes. She was afraid that Spencer would break her body. At this moment, she could not be bothered to be angry with Melody Fox. She said repeatedly, “I apologize! I shouldn’t have said Margaret Swanson is about to die. Tell him to let go of me… I won’t say anything else.”

Melody Fox said with a cold expression, “Spencer, make her kneel towards the south. Kowtow to the south and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, this matter will not end.” “Yes!”

Spencer grabbed Ai Chunrou and turned her around. Then, he shouted, “Kneel and kowtow!”

Ai Chunrou was in pain and anger, but under Spencer’s pressure, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and kneel down again. She kowtowed to the south.

After kowtowing, the restraints on her body disappeared.

Only then did she have a chance to breathe.

Chapter 987

“Phew… Cough, cough, cough…”

Ai Chunrou crawled up from the ground with a pained expression.

Although Spencer did not detain her anymore, the pain in her body was still there.

The bodyguard’s hands were like iron pincers, and wherever they touched, there were bruises.

Liu Gaoyi looked at Ai Chunrou’s disheveled appearance and shook his head in disappointment. He muttered, “Why are you doing this? What’s the point of you women always trying to act cool?”

If he was like Ai Chunrou, who did not know how to keep his mouth shut and did not know how to endure, how could he have suppressed Shi Kai in just a few months?

That was the difference between men and women. Women liked to be emotional, while men were better at calmly considering the pros and cons of the matter.

Ai Chunrou did not understand what Liu Gaoyi meant. She gritted her teeth indignantly and said, “I was just too quick-witted and accidentally mentioned Mrs. Margaret Swanson.”

“You’ll die in your mouth sooner or later!”

After saying that, Liu Gaoyi ignored Ai Chunrou and walked to Melody Fox with a smile. He bowed to her.

“On behalf of Team Leader Ai, I thank Mrs. Swanson for showing mercy. However, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She definitely didn’t really curse Mrs. Margaret Swanson.”

Melody Fox glanced at Liu Gaoyi.

“You should be glad that she recognized the wrong place. Otherwise, she can forget about speaking for the rest of her life!”

She was a primary school doctor. If she wanted to unknowingly turn the other party into a mute, she simply did not need to spend any effort to do so.

“Hehe, yes, yes, yes. She’s really regretting it. Let’s forget about this matter!”

“She doesn’t use her mouth to talk about Mrs. Margaret anymore. Naturally, this matter can be over.”

Melody Fox raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch. She said, “We’ve already delayed a lot of time. Stop talking nonsense and follow me. Remember, be quiet. Don’t shout like before. The hospital is not a place to act atrociously.”

She was naturally talking about Ai Chunrou.

Ai Chunrou gritted her teeth, but because of what had just happened, she could only swallow her anger.

However, this did not mean that she had admitted defeat.

As long as the project was not won, she would definitely be the final winner.

As for Melody Fox, because she had indirectly caused the project to fail, Ken Swanson would definitely hate her even more. Perhaps… Mrs. Margaret Swanson would also lose her love for Melody Fox because of this incident.

As Ai Chunrou walked, she was thinking about how to let Mrs. Margaret Swanson know the cause and effect of the matter so that she would quickly hate Melody Fox.

Including Melody Fox people, there were 15 of them.

Fifteen people squeezed together in the elevator, and the atmosphere became tense.

However, with Spencer’s protection, Melody Fox was the only one who was not squeezed in.

Just as she pressed the button for the floor of the Cardiology Department, she heard Liu Gaoyi finally ask, “Mrs. Swanson, where are we going?”

Ai Chunrou could not hold it in anymore and said sarcastically, “Don’t tell me you’re not here to look for Assistant Zuo?”

Melody Fox turned to look at Ai Chunrou coldly. Ai Chunrou was so frightened that she subconsciously shrank her neck.

“W…-Why are you looking at me… I was just asking casually.”

Melody Fox suddenly smiled and said, “Then you’re quite smart. You asked the right question casually.”

Ai Chunrou was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing.

“…You mean, you really came to the hospital to look for Assistant Zuo?”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and no longer cared about what Ai Chunrou muttered.

There was really no need to waste her breath on someone who was about to leave the company.

She was the one who couldn’t hold it in the past few times. Why did she care what this woman said?

In the end, he was still not mature enough.

Melody Fox shook her head secretly. She was very dissatisfied with her performance today.

However, if she were to do it again, she would still slap Ai Chunrou.

She didn’t mind people talking about her, but that didn’t mean people could talk about people she cared about.

Margaret treated her so well. How could she allow someone like Ai Chunrou to say anything bad about her?

She would never be able to change her habit of protecting her calf in this lifetime, nor did she want to.

Of course, it did not seem appropriate to use the word “protecting” on Margaret.

Before Melody Fox could think of anything else, the elevator door arrived at the inpatient level of the Cardiology Department.

Coincidentally, when Melody Fox looked up, he saw a familiar person walking towards the elevator.

Seeing so many people in the elevator, the man was obviously stunned.

However, when he met Melody Fox’s gaze, his eyes instantly widened.

“Miss Fox?”

Melody Fox nodded with a complicated expression. “Yes, Director Yu.”

The man was none other than Yu Leyou.

Melody Fox had thought that she would meet him, but she did not expect to see him as soon as the elevator door opened.

“I’m here to look for Mr. Ou,” she took the initiative to explain and walked out of the elevator.

The group of people behind her followed suit and sized up Melody Fox and Yu Leyou curiously.

This was especially true for Ai Chunrou. She narrowed her eyes and secretly took out her phone. She found a “suitable” angle and secretly took a photo of the two of them. Then, she found the person in her contact list who she had not dared to contact for a long time and clicked send.

A second later, the phone screen showed that the photo had been sent successfully.

Ai Chunrou’s lips curled up when she saw the message on her phone. She looked at Melody Fox calmly as she spoke to Yu Leyou.

Of course, she did not just watch. Instead, she continued to secretly record the two of them.

Yu Leyou did not know that Melody Fox would come beforehand. He did not care how many people were around Melody Fox. His eyes were filled with surprise as he said, “I didn’t expect you to come… Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t come? Is it because of me?”

“It’s not because of you,” Melody Fox said with a frown. “I’m here to talk to Mr. Ou about something serious.”

“Is that so…?” Yu Leyou clearly did not believe it. He looked deeply at Melody Fox and said, “But who are you here for? I’m very happy to see you.”

Something was wrong! There was definitely something wrong with these two people! The woman’s sixth sense told her that there was definitely something wrong with these two people.

It was just that he really could not tell that this ugly woman’s romance was so good.

Looking at Doctor Yu, he was young and handsome. He was also tall, and on his work pass, he seemed to be a chief physician.

How could such an outstanding person be blind enough to have an affair with an ugly freak like Melody Fox?

‘Don’t you find it disgusting?’

Ai Chunrou was jealous and excited. She grabbed the phone that was secretly recording even tighter.

On the other hand, Liu Gaoyi caught the keyword: Mr. Ou. ‘Who’s Mr Ou?’

He quickly searched for Insterimond famous people with the surname “Ou” in his mind, but he only knew people with the surname “Ouyang”. There was only one person with the surname “Ou”.

On the other hand, Ou Jing’s CEO was called Orrick.

However, it was impossible for Orek to meet someone like Melody Fox.

Even a person like the Eldest Young Master had to find an opportunity to meet Orek.

Only the chairman could see Mr. Orrick in person.

Therefore, Mr. Ou could only be a nobody.

At this moment, his assistant walked out of another elevator and quietly handed a document to Liu Gaoyi.

Liu Gaoyi glanced at the documents that were still a little hot and casually threw them back to his assistant.

“Take it!”

Since it was impossible to see Zuo Ye, the things he had asked his assistant to prepare were useless.

Chapter 988

The more Liu Gaoyi thought about it, the more amused he felt.

That was true. How could this thing be useful?

He was actually fooled by this woman, Melody Fox. He really thought that this woman had won the project and came to see Zuo Ye.

No wonder Ai Chunrou called him a coward. He had indeed been overly cautious today.

The assistant didn’t understand why Liu Gaoyi was in such a hurry to get the documents in the car, but now he didn’t even look at them.

He hugged the document in a daze and saw Melody Fox say to the doctor in front of her with a cold expression, “Doctor Yu, whether you believe it or not, I’m really here today for serious business. If there’s nothing else, I’ll bring my colleague to look for Mr. Ou first.”

Yu Leyou asked in astonishment, “Wait, colleagues? You’re bringing so many people to see Mr. Ou?”

“Yes, it is.”

“I’m afraid that’s not appropriate… Mr. Ou hasn’t recovered yet. There are so many people, I’m afraid they’ll disturb his rest.”

Melody Fox hesitated for a moment before nodding. “You’re right. I didn’t consider it carefully.”

After saying that, she looked at Liu Gaoyi and the others and said, “Manager Liu, Miss Ai, and Manager Liu, as your assistant, the three of you should follow me. The rest of you stay here and don’t run away. Don’t disturb the rest of the patients’ rest.”

Everyone looked at each other. Someone could not help but ask, “Mrs. Swanson, what do you mean by that? You called us over and asked us to stay where we are… That’s not how you bluff people.”

Ai Chunrou smiled gently and said, “Miss Fox, can you hear me? There’s really no need to continue your lies.”

Melody Fox looked over coldly.

“Why? Do you want to be pressed to the ground again?”

“You-” Ai Chunrou was furious, but when she saw Spencer’s ice-cold gaze from the corner of her eye, she swallowed her words.

It was Liu Gaoyi who interrupted their conversation. “Stop talking nonsense and do as Mrs. Swanson says. The rest of you, stay where you are and wait for orders. The two of you, follow Mrs. Swanson with me.”

No one would disobey Liu Gaoyi’s words.

After all, the people who came this time were all from Liu Gaoyi’s faction. Naturally, they listened to Liu Gaoyi.

“Hehe, Mrs. Swanson, shall we go?”

“Let’s go!”

Melody Fox could not be bothered to argue about why these people only listened to Liu Gaoyi.

She said goodbye to Dr. Yu and walked towards Mr. Ou’s ward.

Seeing this, Liu Gaoyi called for Ai Chunrou and the other two to follow.

On the way, he could not help but quicken his pace and walk side by side with Melody Fox.

“Mrs. Swanson, I still don’t know who this Mr. Ou is.”

Melody Fox turned to ask Liu Gaoyi in shock, “You don’t know who Mr. Ou is?”

Liu Gaoyi was even more stunned.

“Do I need to know who Mr. Ou is?”

“…” Melody Fox opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

After all, wasn’t Ou Jing’s founder Mr. Ou?

However, Liu Gaoyi did not seem to know Mr. Ou…

It seemed that Mr. Ou was only addressed as such by the people in the hospital. Outsiders would not address him as such.

She rolled her eyes and knew that Liu Gaoyi would not believe her, so she simply said, “We’ll see him soon. You’ll know who Mr. Ou is.”

Melody Fox kept going back and forth, making Liu Gaoyi even more curious about who this Mr. Ou was.

Although he knew it was impossible for him to be a big shot, he could not control his curiosity.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the end of the ward.

Zuo Yedang told her on the phone that Mr. Ou was in the 002 VIP ward at the end of the corridor. The VIP wards were all here. Because it was quiet, it was not easy to be disturbed by the commotion at the nurse’s desk.

Moreover, Mr. Ou’s ward happened to be very close to the Liu couple in the 001 VIP ward.

He did not know how Mrs. Liu was recovering.

Coincidentally, Mr. Liu’s right-hand man, Old Xu, walked out of the 002 VIP ward.

He saw Melody Fox at a glance and immediately welcomed him with joy.

Liu Gaoyi also saw Old Xu.

Mr. Liu’s company cooperated deeply with the Swanson Group, so he recognized him at a glance as the famous person beside Mr. Liu.

Elder Xu looked at everyone with disdain. At this moment, he was walking over with a happy and respectful expression.

‘What happened?’

Liu Gaoyi subconsciously looked behind him. The corridor behind him was empty. There was no one else.

Could it be for him?

But he didn’t have the face to make the popular people around Mr. Liu smile at him like this.

Forget it, let’s greet this famous person first.

Just as Liu Gaoyi was about to greet him, he saw the “Elder Xu” in his eyes walk up to Melody Fox and bow deeply to her.

“Mrs. Swanson, thank you for the prescription! My throat no longer feels uncomfortable, and Madam is recovering very well. The doctor said that she could go home and recuperate in a week. Sir and I will never forget your kindness! Unfortunately, Sir is in the company now, and Madam is sleeping. Otherwise, we would definitely treat you to a meal outside to express our gratitude.”

“…” Liu Gaoyi’s eyes widened.

Elder Xu was actually so polite to Melody Fox?

Melody Fox said emotionlessly, “You’re welcome. It’s fine as long as the wife’s body of Mr. Liu is fine. If there are any other problems, call me. I’ll be at Insterimond for the next few days.”

She had received “the Green Velvet medicine” from Mr. Liu last night. Although she already had it, one more wouldn’t hurt.

Moreover, this was a token of Mr. Liu’s sincerity to show his loyalty, so she accepted it.

“As for you, you don’t have to worry after taking the medicine, but it’s best to quit smoking to prevent a relapse.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely follow your advice and quit smoking!”

Old Xu replied. Then, he looked at the three people behind Melody Fox and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’ll bring my men to Mr. Ou to discuss a collaboration.”

Old Xu immediately nodded and said, “I see. Then I won’t disturb you anymore. If there’s anything you need help with, Sir and I will do our best. Just tell us.”

“Thank you. Then I’ll get back to work.”

“Yes.”

Old Xu immediately moved aside, afraid that he would block Melody Fox’s path, even if the corridor was very wide.

His action shocked Liu Gaoyi even more.

The insufferably arrogant “Elder Xu” in his eyes actually called himself “Elder Xu” in front of Melody Fox? Was there a mistake?

When Ai Chunrou saw Liu Gaoyi’s reaction, she couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Who is this person?”

Liu Gaoyi glared at Ai Chunrou.

“Don’t inquire about things you shouldn’t! Let’s go and see who Mr. Ou is first.”

Even so, for some reason, he began to feel that “Mr. Ou” might not be a dispensable small character.

Chapter 989

Liu Gaoyi’s right eyelid suddenly twitched.

As the saying goes, the left eye twitches for money and the right eye twitches for disaster. Could it be that… this Mr. Ou has a very close relationship with Zuo Ye?

This was bad! What if Melody Fox really agreed to a collaboration because of this Mr. Ou?

The nervousness that Liu Gaoyi had just calmed down appeared again, and it was countless times stronger than before.

On the other hand, Ai Chunrou

She did not know who “Old Xu” was, so she was not as worried as Liu Gaoyi. She was just waiting to see who Mr. Ou was.

Madam Liu’s ward was located diagonally from Mr. Ou’s ward. Melody Fox raised her hand and knocked on the door. She introduced herself and said, “Hello, I’m Melody Fox. I’m here to look for Mr. Ou.”

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps sounded from inside. The next second, the door of the ward opened.

Ai Chunrou couldn’t wait to see who it was and if she had seen it before.

However, when she saw Zuo Ye, who she had only spoken to once and had never met before, walk out, her eyes widened like a fish’s.

“Left, left, left…”

She was so surprised that she couldn’t call him Mr. Zuo Ye for a long time.

Ai Chunrou couldn’t be blamed for being impatient. This was too shocking.

Whether it was her, Liu Gaoyi, or Shi Kai, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to meet this famous person beside CEO Ou Jing, let alone Melody Fox, this ugly girl from the countryside.

Similarly, Liu Gaoyi was as shocked as Ai Chunrou.

The moment he walked out of the elevator, he completely believed what Ai Chunrou had said: Melody Fox was just putting on airs. It was impossible for her to see Zuo Ye in person.

But now, the real Zuo Ye had appeared in front of them. How could he not be shocked?

For a moment, Liu Gaoyi felt his heart stop beating.

He even blinked hard, suspecting that there was something wrong with his eyes to see Zuo Ye.

However, even though he almost cried, Zuo Ye still appeared at the door of the ward.

Could it be that… she had really negotiated a collaboration with Ou Jing in just five minutes at the entrance of the conference room?

Did such a fantastical thing really happen? But how was this possible?! How did she do it?

Liu Gaoyi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Ai Chunrou was quick enough to help pay Liu Gaoyi.

It was not that she cared much about Liu Gaoyi, but that Ai Chunrou, who had been pressed to the ground by Melody Fox’s bodyguards, had also been helped by Liu Gaoyi, allowing her to survive the painful and awkward humiliation.

She saw that Liu Gaoyi’s face was as pale as hers. Suddenly, she thought of something and lowered her voice. “Manager Liu, don’t panic. Even if you see him, you might not be able to negotiate a collaboration. Assistant Zuo has to meet many people every day. Don’t tell me he will agree to every request?”

“Well…”

“What we have to do now is to wait and see. Then, we can take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, we can’t panic…”

Liu Gaoyi took a deep breath. Seeing Ai Chunrou nod at him, his panicked heart finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, Melody was talking to Zuo Ye about Mr. Ou’s condition.

Since Mr. Ou was still asleep, the two of them chatted at the door.

“Since Mr. Ou isn’t awake yet, let’s have a chat at the door. How’s his condition after he was transferred to a normal ward?”

Zuo Ye frowned and said, “Sir didn’t sleep for almost the entire night last night and kept burning. He said that his entire body was in pain and he couldn’t take it even with the painkiller. In the end, it was only when Chief Yu gave him an additional painkiller that he fell asleep for a while.”

“What’s the highest temperature?”

“Around 102 °F. The lowest is 38. He has never gone down.”

“Have you ever used fever medicine?”

“I used it. After using it, my fever only decreased to 38. Fortunately, it was this morning. I didn’t need to use medicine to burn it.”

Melody Fox nodded. “This is a good sign. If he can survive this night, there won’t be any major problems after that.”

Zuo Yetian let out a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, “Actually, Director Yu told me this before, but for some reason, when it came out of your mouth, I felt completely relieved. You don’t know, but I wanted to call you several times last night, but Mr. Ou didn’t let me. He said that it was too late and would disturb your rest…”

Melody Fox sighed. “Actually, if you had called me last night, I might not have been able to make it. My husband is also sick. I spent almost the entire night taking care of him.”

Zuo Ye was stunned.

“Are you married?”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “I’m married.”

Behind Melody Fox.

Liu Gaoyi had just calmed down a little when he heard their conversation.

From the content, it seemed that Melody Fox was indebted to one of Zuo Ye’s superiors, while Zuo Ye was abnormally respectful to Melody Fox. He did not have the high and mighty feeling of holding power like the powerful owner at all.

On the contrary, in front of Melody Fox, Zuo Ye was not only polite but also respectful and careful, as if he was afraid that he would say the wrong word and make Melody Fox unhappy.

Earlier, Elder Xu had also felt the same way about Melody Fox. However, this person’s status was clearly higher than Elder Xu’s, but he was even more respectful to Melody Fox than Elder Xu.

What the hell was going on?

Was there really something wrong with his eyes? Was this person really Zuo Ye?

Liu Gaoyi rubbed his eyes hard.

However, when Melody Fox saw his movement, she finally remembered the main purpose of this trip.

“By the way, Mr. Zuo, I’m here mainly for the cooperation we talked about on the phone. I wonder if you’ve told Mr. Ou about this? Does what you said on the phone still count?”

Liu Gaoyi and Ai Chunrou were 120% alert.

Liu Gaoyi could not help but ask Melody Fox, “What did you say on the phone?”

Before Melody Fox could speak, Zuo Ye had already answered, “Of course it counts. As I said, since you’re the one who asked, this project will definitely be kept for you.

Of course, if there are any other projects that require Halcyon’s company in the future, our Ou Jing will definitely prioritize the company you’re working with.”

Liu Gaoyi, Ai Chunrou, and the assistant widened their eyes in disbelief.

Zuo Ye actually gave Melody Fox a project that they could not get no matter how much they begged for it?

Not only that, he even promised to prioritize collaborating with Melody Fox’s company for any projects in the future?

Of course, Ai Chunrou’s focus was different. She was thinking: If Zuo Ye’s words were heard by the chairman and Ken Swanson, wouldn’t they praise Melody Fox?! Then how could Melody Fox be kicked out of the house by the Swanson family?

Chapter 990

Most importantly, she signed the agreement with Melody Fox.

The agreement was clearly written in black and white. As long as Melody Fox could take down this project with Ou Jing, she would leave the Swanson Group forever and never come back.

Didn’t this mean that it was impossible between her and Ken Swanson?

Ai Chunrou felt the world spin. If Liu Gaoyi’s assistant hadn’t realized that something was wrong and helped her up, she might have fallen to the ground.

Liu Gaoyi calmed down when he saw Ai Chunrou’s expression.

He still remembered Ai Chunrou’s words.

What we have to do now is to wait and see. Then, we can take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, we can’t panic.

Although Ai Chunrou was already panicking, she was even calmer than Liu Gaoyi.

Melody Fox was thanking Zuo Ye.

“Since Mr. Zuo trusts me so much, I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely urge them to complete this cooperation.”

Liu Gaoyi seized the opportunity and said, “That’s right, Mr. Zuo. Being able to work with Ou Jing is something we’ve been looking forward to day and night. We’ll definitely treat this collaboration with all our might.”

Zuo Ye did not like Liu Gaoyi, but because he was brought here by Melody Fox, he still gave Liu Gaoyi a face and nodded slightly as a form of agreement.

Liu Gaoyi continued, “We’ve brought the project proposal and contract over. Why don’t you take this opportunity to take a look?”

Zuo Ye nodded slightly.

“Just give me the contract.”

Liu Gaoyi immediately handed over the contract.

He stared at Zuo Ye with anticipation, but Zuo Ye did not even look at the contract and signed his name on the last page.

Liu Gaoyi’s eyes widened in shock.

How much trust did he have in Melody Fox? He didn’t even look at the contract! He had worked for so many years, but he had never seen anyone who didn’t even look at the project contract.

No matter which company it was, they were very cautious about the contract. They wished that the project and legal department could keep an eye on the contract all day long to find any problems.

But Zuo Ye did not even take a glance?

This was beyond his expectations.

But this wouldn’t do!

Liu Gaoyi gritted his teeth and did not care if he would offend Zuo Ye anymore. He opened his mouth to remind Zuo Ye, “Um…Mr. Zuo, don’t you need to look at the contract? You can only confirm if there are any regulations that you are not satisfied with after looking at the contract…

Zuo Ye directly returned the contract and said, “I’m very at ease with your Miss Fox. I’ll pretend that I’ve read the contract. As for the project proposal, you can just take it directly to our Ou Jing branch in Insterimond. Report my name. Someone will be in charge of contacting you to carry out the follow-up cooperation.”

However, it was as if Liu Gaoyi suddenly did not care about the expression on Zuo Ye’s face. He forcefully stuffed the contract back into Zuo Ye’s hands.

“You should take a look at it with your own eyes first, in case there are any differences when the collaboration begins. That would be too much of a delay. You can choose not to read the project proposal, but you should read the contract first.”

Zuo Ye, who was years old in business, formally sized up Liu Gaoyi.

Liu Gaoyi came with Melody Fox, so he subconsciously thought that Liu Gaoyi was from Melody Fox.

However, combined with what had happened and Melody Fox’s meaningful words on the phone, he quickly determined that the other party was an enemy and not a friend.

One could imagine that there must be something wrong with this contract.

Zuo Ye glanced at Liu Gaoyi indifferently again and took the contract from him with suspicion and vigilance.

With just one glance, Zuo Ye could see the problem.

The regulations in this contract were almost one-sided and tended to take care of Party B’s interests. As Party A, Ou Jing was almost restricted by the regulations. If he was not careful, he would have to pay a lot of fines to Branch Insterimond.

In addition, after the project ended, Ou Jing still had to pay a lot of inexplicable fees.

It could be said that this contract was completely an overlord clause that only served Branch Insterimond. No one would sign it.

Zuo Ye raised his eyes and looked at Liu Gaoyi deeply as he asked, “Are you sure it’s this contract?”

“It’s this contract. Is there a problem?” Liu Gaoyi chuckled and began to play dumb. “If you’re dissatisfied with the contract given by our Insterimond branch, we can talk about it later. However, this is already our greatest sincerity.”

“Ha! Greatest sincerity? Are you sure?”

Zuo Ye’s gaze pierced towards Liu Gaoyi like an icicle.

Liu Gaoyi looked away guiltily, but he still said firmly, “Yes, we really want to cooperate with Ou Jing.”

Melody Fox could not help but ask, “Mr. Zuo, is there a problem with the contract? I’ve seen it before I came. This contract is very fair to both of us…”

When Liu Gaoyi heard this, the corners of his mouth almost curled up to the sky.

When Zuo Ye heard Melody Fox’s words, he was probably so angry that he would explode, right? He was so angry that he did not even want to listen to Melody Fox’s explanation… In this way, the collaboration would naturally be ruined!

However, to Liu Gaoyi’s surprise, not only was Zuo Ye not angry, he even said to Melody Fox in an unusually pleasant manner, “Miss Fox, I believe in you. Since I’ve signed this contract, I won’t be back on it. However, I think you need to take another look at this contract of yours.”

Liu Gaoyi took two steps back in shock.

Zuo Ye still wanted to collaborate with them after seeing such an overbearing contract?

Was Zuo Ye crazy, or was he hallucinating?

Melody Fox observed that Liu Gaoyi’s reaction was very strange. She could not help but nod and take the contract.

When she saw the Overlord Regulation on the contract, she was shocked and explained to Zuo Ye, “Mr. Zuo, this is a misunderstanding. The contract I saw was not like this…”

“I believe you, Miss Fox. It’s just that this contract isn’t too much for me. We’ll only pay an additional 10 points every quarter. It’s nothing. Take it as… Sir’s greeting gift to you.” “How can I do that…”

Zuo Ye pretended to be serious.

“If you don’t accept it, I’ll take it that you don’t want to work with us anymore.”

“Of course, I want to work with you…”

“Then follow this contract.” Zuo Ye was very insistent. To him, Melody Fox had saved his master’s life. This small reward was not even comparable to his master’s fingernail.

“I…-Alright then.” Melody Fox nodded and looked at Zuo Ye’s signature with mixed feelings.

She seemed to have unknowingly started to owe him a favor.

However, Liu Gaoyi’s emotions were clearly much more complicated than Melody Fox’s.

He was almost completely dumbfounded and completely magical.

How could there be someone who knew that he was at a disadvantage, but still insisted on eating it and even ate it willingly? Was it his honor??

What was the background of Melody Fox?

Could it be that his understanding of Melody Fox was wrong? Was she not a useless woman from the countryside at all?

However, Liu Gaoyi knew very well that from now on, he would never be able to win the Second Young Master’s heart like before.

Chapter 991

Not only that, but his status would also plummet. Perhaps… he would reach the end of his life.

Liu Gaoyi shuddered.

It was summer, but he felt colder than standing in the cold wind.

No, he had to think of a way to save his future!

Liu Gaoyi rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on Ai Chunrou, who seemed to have lost her soul.

Ai Chunrou!

Great, he could push all the blame on this stupid woman in front of Second Young Master!

Anyway, this woman was originally with Ken Swanson. Second Young Master had found such a punching bag, so he would not be so ruthless to her.

At that moment, a deep voice came from inside and asked in European language, “Zuo Ye, who are you talking to? Is my savior here yet?”

Liu Gaoyi had learned the European language before, so he understood what the person inside was saying.

Could the person inside be the Mr. Ou that Melody Fox had been talking about?

Speaking of which, he still did not know who Mr. Ou was.

But to be able to call Zuo Ye’s name directly, could he really be a big shot?

After finding a way out, Liu Gaoyi started to be curious about Mr. Ou’s identity again.

Zuo Ye said in a European language, “Sir, Miss Fox is here. I am talking to her about the collaboration.”

“Then why didn’t you wake me up? Invite her in!”

“Yes!”

Zuo Ye made a “please” gesture to Melody Fox and said, “Miss Fox, please come in.”

Melody Fox nodded and wanted to enter, but Liu Gaoyi and the others were stopped outside by Zuo Ye.

“I’m sorry, only Miss Fox can go in and see Sir. Wait at the door.”

Liu Gaoyi felt a sense of regret.

Melody Fox understood Liu Gaoyi’s gaze. He smiled and said, “Aren’t you curious about who Mr. Ou is? Since you can’t go in, I’ll tell you directly. Mr. Ou is Mr. Ou Rick, the founder of Ou Jing.”

Liu Gaoyi’s pupils instantly shrunk to a point due to shock. “Oh, oh, oh…”

“You didn’t hear wrongly, Mr. Orrick.” Melody Fox did not have the patience to wait for Liu Gaoyi to finish. “You guys don’t have to wait here anymore. Meet up with the people at the elevator and wait for me in the car. I’ll be back soon. As for you… Ai Chunrou, you can go back to the company and pack your things now.”

“No! I’m not leaving!”

Ai Chunrou was about to shout, but she was stopped by Zuo Ye’s gaze.

Zuo Ye’s gaze was many times more terrifying than Spencer’s.

That gaze seemed to be saying, “If you scream one more word, I’ll turn you into a corpse that doesn’t know how to scream.”

Ai Chunrou was so frightened that she shivered. This time, even her assistant could not support her. She was like a pile of mud as she slumped to the ground.

Melody Fox ignored them and followed Zuo Ye into the ward.

As soon as she entered, she smelled blood.

The smell of blood did not come from anywhere else, but from Mr. Ou, who was lying on the hospital bed.

She instantly frowned and disregarded Mr. Ou’s identity. She took a few steps forward and was about to remove his hospital gown to check his wound.

Eric was caught off guard, but he still subconsciously let her examine him.

“There’s some bleeding from the wound, but it’s fine. It’s a slight hemorrhage. I’ll just get the nurse to change the gauze later.”

Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief. After saying that, he realized that he had once again treated Orrick as a pure patient.

She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I had an occupational habit when I smelled blood just now. Please forgive my recklessness, Mr. Ou.”

Naturally, Oaker would not blame Melody Fox. Instead, because of her reflexive actions, he had a good impression of her.

Orek speaks Halcyon very well.

He smiled and said, “You don’t have to apologize, child. I have to thank you. Moreover… there aren’t many people in this world who care about my health as purely as you do, other than Zuo Ye.”

Melody Fox lowered her head and said, “For someone like you, there will only be more people who care about you. You are empathizing with my occupational disease.”

“Haha, you child, your words are so likable. Come, raise your head, and let me take a look. I’m lying like this and I haven’t seen what you look like. I heard from Zuo Ye that you look especially like me.”

“How could that be? Mr. Zuo, you really know how to joke… It’s just that my face is a little scary and not good-looking. Please be mentally prepared.”

“What else do I need to be mentally prepared for?” Mr. Ou only felt that Melody Fox was being humble.

However, in the next second, she walked to his bed and raised her head. Even someone as knowledgeable as Orrick was stunned.

However, he had always been direct with his words. He said whatever was on his mind.

“What happened to your face, child? Was it natural, or was it sick?”

Melody Fox was stunned. Obviously, she did not expect the big shot to be so direct.

For example, Ramon Swanson had to speak in eighteen circles. She thought that Orek was the same.

She couldn’t help but have a good impression of Orrick.

Therefore, Melody Fox did not hide anything and answered truthfully, “I was poisoned, but the antidote has been found. I will recover soon. Thank you for your concern.”

“Poisoned? How did he get poisoned? Was it an accident or was it man-made?” Orrick was even more concerned.

He did not know why, but he subconsciously wanted to care about Melody Fox.

Perhaps the other party was his savior, or perhaps he had no children, so he was always especially kind to young children.

Melody Fox did not expect Orek to ask so deeply. She covered her nose and coughed dryly. “It was an accident. Don’t worry. I heard from Mr. Zuo that you have something to confirm with me?”

Orek nodded, but his expression was clearly hesitant.

“I wanted to confirm it with you, but now it seems that I was mistaken. Just pretend that this didn’t happen.”

Melody Fox did not ask further. She nodded and said, “Alright. Regarding Ou Jing’s cooperation with us, I will ask my subordinates to work hard. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

Orek laughed and said, “It’s just a small project. There’s no need to be so serious. But speaking of which, aren’t you a doctor? Why are you working for the Swanson Group? What exactly is your job?”

Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “My main job is as a doctor. The reason why I took over this project was because my husband was supposed to take over this project, but he was sick, so I took over.”

“Your husband? Your husband is … ?”

“Ken Swanson.”

Orek’s eyes widened in surprise, but then he said in agreement, “I saw him when he was younger. That was when I knew that there were very few people in the world with such intelligence. It’s just that I didn’t expect him to have such good taste in getting a wife and find such an outstanding girl like you. Bring him to see me another day. I don’t think I’ve seen him for a few years. The last time I saw him was when he first founded Ximber Tech, right?”

Chapter 992

When Melody Fox heard Orek’s words, she was as shocked as Orek when he learned that her husband was Ken Swanson.

Not to mention Orek’s attitude, it was obvious that he really felt that she was a good match for Ken Swanson. Ken Swanson married her because he had good taste and was not praising her on the surface.

This was already surprising enough. What surprised Melody Fox even more was that Orek actually knew that Ximber Tech was Ken Swanson.

One had to know that Ken Swanson had been hiding this matter from the public. Even the ordinary employees of Ximber Tech did not know that the founder was Ken Swanson. Only the higher-ups knew his identity.

How did an outsider like Orick know about this?

She could not help but ask, “Mr. Ou, how… did you know about Ximber Tech?”

“Looks like Ken Swanson didn’t mention me to you, right? When Ximber Tech needed a huge investment, he found me… Of course, I didn’t know that he was Ramon Swanson’s son. It was his project proposal that made my eyes light up and I wanted to invest in him. But looking at your expression, he hasn’t announced his relationship with Ximber Tech to the public yet?”

Orek had actually invested in Ximber Tech!

Melody Fox was shocked again.

However, she immediately realized that Ken Swanson had founded Ximber Tech behind Ramon Swanson’s back. Without the Swanson family’s help, he naturally needed to do everything himself, including funding. It was even more impossible for him to rely on Ramon Swanson’s strength. If Ken Swanson suddenly used a large sum of his own savings, Ramon Swanson would definitely realize that something was wrong.

In this way, Orek’s investment in Ken Swanson’s company seemed normal.

However, this also gave people a deeper understanding of Ken Swanson’s ability.

Not everyone could get Orrick to invest in them, especially Ken Swanson did not reveal his identity. He only went to ask for Orrick’s investment as an ordinary person…

Melody Fox secretly digested a pile of information and said to Orek with a smile, “I see. Thank you for helping him.”

“No, I have to thank him. Ximber Tech’s future is bright. It’s my honor to have the opportunity to invest in him.”

Orek was not stingy with his praise for Ximber Tech.

After chatting for a while, Orek took the initiative to mention his non-existent “illness.”

“To be able to meet the two of you, I, Orrick, must have accumulated good fortune in my previous life. If it weren’t for you, Zuo Ye and I would still be kept in the dark until now. We don’t know that I don’t have a heart disease at all.” Since Orek took the initiative to speak, Melody Fox did not hide her doubts. She asked, “Why would that doctor dare to lie to you so boldly? He even stabbed you so many times… Who was the person who wanted to harm you behind your back?

Have you investigated clearly?”

Orek let out a long sigh and looked out the window.

“He and the person behind him are not very bold. The reason why he didn’t kill me directly after so many operations is because he was afraid that after I died, my people would find out after the autopsy.”

“However, if I had already been diagnosed with heart disease and had undergone a few major surgeries, and died naturally in one of the surgeries, no one would have suspected anything.”

“As for the person behind him, I have a rough guess. I’m just waiting for him to speak. I think this matter can be resolved before I’m discharged.”

Melody Fox nodded. “That’s good. These people are cruel.

Before you uproot them, you have to be careful. Especially in this critical moment, when your body is the weakest. You can’t make any mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, the people guarding this place are all my trusted aides. Nothing will happen.”

“Yeah.”

The more Zuo Ye listened, the angrier he became. His two hands were tightly clenched into fists.

He hated himself for being stupid. Why hadn’t he noticed the problem earlier?

“Sir, it’s all my fault! Please punish me!”

Orek shook his head.

“What does this have to do with you? You don’t know anything about medicine. How could you have discovered the problem?”

Zuo Ye gritted his teeth and said with a vexed expression, If I had known earlier, I should have learned some medical skills.”

Upon seeing this, Melody Fox comforted Zuo Ye and said, ” Everyone has their own area of expertise. Mr. Zuo, you are already very powerful in your own area of expertise. It’s impossible for a person to be omnipotent.”

Zuo Ye smiled and said, “That’s not impossible. I think you’re very omnipotent.”

Mr. Ou nodded in agreement.

“Miss Fox is indeed young and promising. She’s very compatible with Ken Swanson. In the past, I was still wondering what kind of wife such an outstanding young man would marry in the future. Now, it seems that among the people I’ve seen, only you can match him. Whether it’s your aura or ability, in my eyes, you’re not inferior to those socialites I’ve seen.”

Everyone liked to hear nice words, but Melody Fox did not like nice words.

Good words would inflate one’s ego, so she had heard them before and wouldn’t really take them to heart.

It was precisely because of this that she could continuously improve her various skills and not stop learning.

She smiled humbly and thanked him. “Mr. Ou, it’s not too late to find out about your condition now. I can write you a prescription. You can take my prescription after you stop consuming on pills. You’ll be back to normal in less than three months.”

Zuo Ye’s eyes immediately widened.

“I thank you on behalf of Sir!”

Mr. Ou also said, “I, Orick, will never forget Miss Fox’s kindness.”

Melody Fox shook her head. “You guys have also helped me a lot. This project might be a small project for you guys, but it’s still quite important to me and Ken Swanson. So you don’t have to thank me.”

After saying that, she took the initiative to take Orrick’s pulse. After thinking carefully, she prescribed a prescription. “You have to drink this prescription after the pills are cut off, or it will affect its effect. After it is cut off, you have to drink it once a day for three months to recover your vitality. However, some of the herbs in this medicine are relatively difficult to find. You have to worry about it yourself.”

“Of course. We’ll settle these matters ourselves. We won’t trouble you, Miss Fox.”

Mr. Ou handed his business card to Melody Fox.

“Miss Fox, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can contact my number directly. If you need Ou Jing for anything, take out your business card. Ou Jing’s people will know my relationship with you.

The business card was made of black gold and had a circle of gold on the outside. It was very exquisite. It was obvious that Orrick would not give it to others easily.

“Thank you!” Melody Fox did not decline. She carefully put away the business card and said goodbye.

Her nonchalance made Orek’s impression of her even more good. “Zuo Ye, send Miss Fox off.”

“Yes! Miss Fox, this way please.” Zuo Ye respectfully made a “please” gesture.

Melody Fox nodded slightly and said goodbye to Orek.

However, the moment the door of the ward closed, Orek’s smiling expression disappeared and was replaced by a strong sense of sadness.

Chapter 993

As expected, it was not their child…

That woman was so beautiful. He had never seen a woman more beautiful than her in his life.

Although Miss Fox was outstanding, it was obvious from his appearance that he was not their child.

Although her eyes were indeed as Zuo Ye had said, they did not look like Halcyon people. They looked more like Europeans.

It was almost the same as his eyes, but other than his eyes, this Miss Fox did not resemble him or her at all.

That’s true. How could it be?

What a fantasy.

What was he delusional about? Zuo Ye was dumbfounded. Was he also dumbfounded?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

He had investigated many years ago. She was already married, and he had been married for many years. Although he had never had any intercourse with his wife, it was ultimately impossible between them.

He should have forgotten about those Days of light. She… should have long forgotten about him, right? Orek shook his head and lay back with a tired expression. Looking at the pure white ceiling, Orek suddenly thought negatively that if Melody Fox did not appear this time, it would be a relief for him if he died just like that.

Orrick closed his eyes, his face sad.

At the same time, Melody Fox, and Zuo Ye arrived at the elevator.

The group of people did not wait for her in the car. Instead, they squeezed in front of the elevator.

The employees did not know what had happened because

Liu Gaoyi and Ai Chunrou did not reveal anything to them after they came over.

However, the result was obvious. From the faces of Liu Gaoyi and the other two, it could be seen that Mrs. Swanson had really signed the contract successfully. Otherwise, their expressions would not be as ugly as if they had eaten three piles of shit.

It was precisely because of this that they refused to leave. They wanted to see what Melody Fox would say when he returned.

Should he fire them directly, or something else?

Compared to the fear of the unknown, it was more satisfying to face the outcome head-on.

When Melody Fox walked over, she noticed that compared to the employees who looked down on her at the beginning, everyone was looking at her in shock, fear, and confusion. It was completely different from the beginning.

Especially Liu Gaoyi and Ai Chunrou.

They had seen with their own eyes how Zuo Ye treated her. Now, he was almost like a frightened bird. He did not even have the courage to look at her. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Melody Fox only took a glance before retracting her gaze. “Mr. Zuo, please wait.”

Melody Fox said to Zuo Ye, “You can just send me here. I’ll leave on my own. Go back and take care of Mr. Ou. I still have a mess to clean up.”

Her tone was very casual, making the employees even more shocked.

That was Zuo Ye. They had all seen Zuo Ye’s appearance on television and in the newspapers.

However, shouldn’t Melody Fox be groveling in front of such a person?

Why was her tone so casual that as if she was only talking to friends of the same level?

What shocked them even more was that Zuo Ye did not show any displeasure at all. Instead, he said extremely politely, “Then I won’t send you off. I don’t dare to leave Mr. Ou’s side for too long. I’m really sorry. Please understand.” “Don’t be sorry. I understand. Go back quickly,”

“Yes, Miss Fox. Take care. I’ll immediately inform them about the cooperation and get them to announce our cooperation with you as soon as possible.”

After Zuo Ye finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Melody Fox before turning around to leave.

His bow almost frightened everyone.

Even Liu Gaoyi and Ai Chunrou, who had personally seen Zuo Ye being extremely polite to Melody Fox, could not help but widen their eyes when they saw Zuo Ye bow.

Ai Chunrou, in particular, clenched her fists tightly.

The exquisite manicure that she had extended was about to penetrate her flesh, but she still refused to let go. She couldn’t accept this! She was angry, angry, and jealous. How could such an ordinary country bumpkin and such an ugly piece of trash be seen by someone like Zuo Ye?

Not only that, even Ou Jing’s CEO, Ou Rick, had personally met Melody Fox!

She did not even dare to do such a thing in her dreams, but it had really happened to a piece of trash like Melody Fox.

She really couldn’t take it anymore. She was so angry that she was about to go crazy!

But there was nothing she could do. She could only stand and stare.

After Melody Fox watched Zuo Ye leave, he turned to look at everyone expressionlessly.

“All of you who followed me here don’t believe that the cooperation will succeed. But after hearing Mr. Zuo’s words just now, you should believe it, right?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Since Zuo Ye had already bowed to Melody Fox, what else could they not believe?

Moreover, Zuo Ye had also said it himself.

This time, even if they were unwilling to believe it, they had no choice but to believe it.

Melody Fox looked at everyone’s ugly expressions and said again, “Looks like you finally believe it. Then this trip is not in vain. In that case, don’t stand there. Let’s set off back to the company! I think the company’s people are also very anxious for us to go back.”

When everyone heard this, their expressions turned even uglier.

When he returned, he would definitely be mocked.

After this incident, their faction could forget about suppressing Shi Kai’s faction.

One could imagine how difficult their lives would be when they returned.

Coincidentally, the elevator door opened at this time.

Melody Fox was about to be the last to enter when he heard Yu Leyou’s voice behind him again.

“Miss Fox, please wait!”

Melody Fox frowned slightly. He wanted to pretend that he did not hear anything, but if he made a scene, it would attract the attention of Liu Gaoyi and the others.

Therefore, Melody Fox could only stop and instruct Spencer,” Bring them all to the car. I’ll come over later.”

…Yes.” Spencer looked at Yu Leyou hesitantly. In the end, he listened to Melody Fox’s instructions and left with the others.

Only when the elevator door slowly closed did Melody Fox turn to look at Yu Leyou, who had already walked behind her.

She looked up and saw Yu Leyou with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be holding something.

“You…”

As soon as Melody Fox finished speaking, Yu Leyou took out a bouquet of bright red roses from behind him.

“It’s… it’s for you,” Yu Leyou said uncomfortably. “This is the first time I’ve given a girl a flower. I asked the female doctor in the department to choose it for me. I wonder if you like flowers? Do you like roses? If you don’t, I’ll change to a flower you like next time.”

Melody Fox looked at the bouquet of red roses and did not reach out to take it.

“Doctor Yu, I told you, I…”

“Got it.”

“Yes?”

“I know you don’t like roses,” Yu Leyou said. He put the roses in the trash can by the elevator door and said, “If you don’t like them, throw them away. I’ll change them for you next time.”

“No. It’s not that I don’t like roses. I just don’t—”

Chapter 994

Before Melody Fox could finish, Yu Leyou interrupted, “Miss Fox, you don’t have to be in a hurry to reject me. It’s my business whether I pursue you or like you. You can choose not to accept it. I’ll also try my best to pursue you so that you won’t be troubled. But I hope you won’t lie to me about… that you’re already married.”

“I’m not lying to you. I’m really…”

“Then I’ll stop here for today. I still have an operation to perform. I’ll take my leave first.”

Yu Leyou did not wait for Melody Fox to finish speaking. Under Melody Fox’s flabbergasted expression, he turned around and ran quickly towards the safe passage.

..Wait, Doctor Yu, Yu…”

Melody Fox opened her mouth to call out to Yu Leyou but realized that he seemed to have run away on purpose. In an instant, he disappeared.

Melody Fox had a complicated feeling in her heart. She did not know how to describe it.

However, there was a vague sense of frustration.

In the past, Wilmot Sherman liked her too, but she had always been grateful and respectful of Wilmot Sherman’s feelings. She had never felt this frustrated before.

This Doctor Yu… She really did not want to deal with him anymore.

Melody Fox pressed the elevator button with a headache. Finally, she looked at the roses that had been casually thrown away, shook her head, and walked in.

At the same time, Zuo Ye returned to the ward.

He asked Orek anxiously as soon as he entered.

“Sir, what do you think? Isn’t she very similar to you? Moreover, she’s Silverlake people, the daughter of that Madam Jiang back then!”

Orek’s eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened.

“What did you say? Whose daughter is she?”

Zuo Ye was shocked, but he still replied quickly, “Jiang Wilona, Ms. Jiang.”

Ignoring the pain in his body, Orek quickly sat up and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? You clearly only said that her eyes and expression were exactly the same as mine. You didn’t say anything about this!”

Zuo Ye lowered his head and said, “I was afraid that you would think that I took the initiative to investigate the benefactor’s information, so I didn’t dare to tell you.” “Zuo Ye, you, you’re really… cough cough cough cough…” Because his emotions were too intense, Orek could not help but cough.

Zuo Ye could not care less about being afraid. He quickly handed a glass of water over, but he was pushed away by Orek.

“Find out! I want all her information! Also, find out where Jiang Wilona is and what she’s doing.”

The words “Jiang Wilona” had been restrained by Orek for most of his life. He didn’t want to think about it, read it, or say it.

Now that he suddenly said it out loud, even he was a little at a loss.

Zuo Ye opened his mouth but suddenly knelt down.

“Sir, I acted on my own accord… I’ve also checked Madam Jiang’s information…”

Orek frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed.

“Forget it. You’re doing these things for me. I don’t blame you. Get up and talk!”

However, Zuo Ye still did not stand up.

This made Orrick feel that something was wrong.

Before Oulick could ask, Zuo Ye said, “Ms. Jiang has already passed away.”

It was also because he knew this news that he did not dare to mention the relationship between Melody Fox and Jiang Wilona to Orek from the beginning.

After all, Orrick was still running a high fever and his physical condition was still very dangerous.

As soon as Zuo Ye’s voice fell, Orek’s eyelids suddenly lifted, and he asked with a look of disbelief, “What did you say?!”

Zuo Ye did not dare to look at Orek’s expression. He lowered his head and said, “She passed away more than twenty years ago.”

Silence.

There was dead silence.

Zuo Ye’s guess of flying into a rage did not happen. Instead, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

However, this abnormal silence made Zuo Ye even more nervous and frightened.

“M-Sir…”

He looked up shakily and saw Orek clutching his chest, looking extremely pained.

Zuo Ye was shocked and quickly got up from the ground. “Sir, are you alright?! It’s all my fault. How could I tell you this? You haven’t recovered yet! I’ll call the doctor now!”

Zuo Ye turned around and was about to run out when he was called back by Orek.

“Stop right there!”

“Sir?”

“I’m fine. Come back.”

“But…”

“I told you, I’m fine!”

Orek’s tone became heavier, and Zuo Ye could only helplessly walk back from the door.

Orek took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before speaking again.

“Tell me, how did she leave?”

“Difficult delivery. She left after Miss Fox was born.”

Orek closed his eyes for a moment, the bitterness and grief threatening to spill out of his tight-knit eyes.

After so many years, he thought that his feelings for her had long faded.

But now that the pain in the depths of his heart came, he knew that he had never forgotten her! He had always loved her!

True. He’d been stupid. He should have realized that earlier. If it wasn’t for the fact that he still couldn’t forget Jiang Wilona, why couldn’t he force himself to have sex with his wife once?

“Sir… my condolences!”

Zuo Ye was filled with regret.

It was all his fault for having such a cheap mouth!

Master had better be fine. If anything happened to his body because of what he said, he would not be able to absolve himself of the blame even if he died ten thousand times!

After a while, Orek spoke again, “Melody Fox… What year, month, and day was she born?”

“I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t check that-“

“Then hurry up and investigate!” “…Yes!”

Zuo Ye quickly accepted the order and personally went to investigate Melody Fox’s information.

Of course, he did not forget to call the doctor to see what was going on.

When Yu Leyou received the news, he quickly arrived at Orrick’s ward.

Originally, when it came to changing the dressing, the nurse could do it. However, with Mr. Ou’s status, Yu Leyou could handle these small matters himself.

After dealing with the bleeding wound, Yu Leyou could not help but ask, “Mr. Ou, please forgive me for speaking too much.”

“Yes? Tell me.”

“I want to ask… Why is Melody Fox looking for you?”

Upon hearing Melody Fox’s name, Orek’s half-deaf eyelids immediately lifted.

‘You were close to her?’

“It’s… alright. Why are you asking?”

Orek didn’t answer Yu Leyou’s question. He only asked about Melody Fox.

“Tell me, what do you know about her? Tell me the truth. This is very important to me!”

“Well …”

Yu Leyou subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.

How could he feel comfortable when another man cared so much about the woman he liked?

However, he remembered that Orek was old enough to be Melody Fox’s father, and a person like Orek would never like Melody Fox, so he quickly understood. He thought that Orek just wanted to know more about his savior, so he told him everything he knew about Melody Fox.

After all, if Orek pitied Melody Fox after finding out about her background and gave her more benefits, it would be beneficial to him.

Chapter 995

If his future partner was good, he would be better too, right?

At the thought of this, Yu Leyou deliberately sighed and said, “Sigh! Melody Fox… She’s also a pitiful person.”

Orek’s brow furrowed immediately.

“Why do you say that? Isn’t she Ken Swanson’s wife? Doesn’t Ken Swanson treat her well?”

This time, it was Yu Leyou’s turn to frown.

“Ken Swanson? Which Ken Swanson?”

“Who else could it be? Ken Swanson? the Swanson Group’s chairman’s eldest son, Ken Swanson.”

Yu Leyou chuckled and said, “Then you must be mistaken. Melody Fox isn’t married at all. Her husband can’t be Ken Swanson.”

“She’s not married? That’s impossible. You’re mistaken, aren’t you? Besides, why did you say her husband couldn’t be Ken Swanson?”

“Because Melody Fox grew up in the countryside. Her family background is very ordinary. Recently, she seems to have been chased out of the house by her family. Moreover… her appearance is not especially good. the Swanson family will never accept her. It’s impossible for someone like Ken Swanson…”

“Doctor Yu!”

Orek interrupted Yu Leyou with a sullen expression, “Please watch your words!”

Yu Leyou was shocked and asked, “What, what happened to me? What I said… was the truth. She was indeed chased out of the house by her family.”

Orek’s expression was ugly as he said, “I’m not talking about this. It’s just that when you said this, you revealed disdain for Melody Fox. It made me very uncomfortable! Please apologize immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!”

Yu Leyou subconsciously retorted, “I’m not disdaining her. On the contrary, I like her very much and am pursuing her.”

“Like her? Court her? Doctor Yu, I’m not an easy person to fool. You look down on her from the bottom of your heart. I can tell at a glance. How can you like her? I, Orick, might not be good at other things, but I’m very good at judging people. I know exactly what you’re thinking!”

Yu Leyou was shocked.

Was he actually looking down on Melody Fox?

How was this possible… He clearly liked Melody Fox. “Doctor Yu, hurry up and apologize! I’ll give you 3 Seconds! 3…”

Yu Leyou suddenly came back to his senses. He could no longer care about his troubled mind and hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have said that… I definitely won’t do it again.”

Only then did Orek’s expression lighten a little.

However, he no longer wanted to listen to Yu Leyou.

Speaking of which, Zuo Ye had told him that Yu Leyou was also hesitating about whether to operate on him at the beginning.

It was only after Melody Fox appeared that he firmly believed in it.

Moreover, the entire surgery was almost completed by Melody Fox alone. Yu Leyou was not very useful.

It could be said that he only had Melody Fox as his true savior.

“Since the medicine has been changed, you can leave! I’m going to lie down!”

Orek immediately ordered him to leave.

Yu Leyou still wanted to defend himself, but when he caught a glimpse of Orick’s cold gaze, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to say another word. He took the tray that was used to change the dressing and left.

However, along the way, his mind kept echoing with Orek’s words…

Branch Insterimond….

Those who had not received the news stood at the entrance of the branch and waited for Melody Fox and the others to return.

A group of white-collar workers holding coffee in their hands were now like uncles and aunties in a market, chattering non-stop.

Most of the discussions were about neutral employees who did not stand on either side.

“Do you think Mrs. Swanson can really get this project? I heard from the team next door that she doesn’t seem to come from a good family… She’s from the countryside.”

“I don’t like what you’re saying. How many people in our company are born with a silver spoon in their mouths? Which family has been rich for generations? I don’t think there’s a need to look at this matter from their background.” “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not looking down on people from the countryside. I’m from the countryside myself. What I mean is that she used to be involved in small things in the countryside. It was her first time taking on this project. How could she… succeed so easily?”

“Actually, I also feel a little guilty, but when she left the conference room, Mrs. Swanson’s gaze gave me a feeling that she was really not joking. If she was acting and deliberately bluffing, then I can only say that her acting skills are really too good.”

On the other hand, the people from Shi Kai and Liu Gaoyi’s factions directly argued with each other and almost fought several times.

When the news reached Shi Kai’s ears, he said dispiritedly, Don’t disturb me with such a small matter! Get someone to handle it. If anyone quarrels again, just fire them!”

His subordinates were so frightened that they agreed and walked out.

Soon, the situation downstairs was finally somewhat under control.

Although Shi Kai did not stand at the door and wait, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office and paced back and forth. He could not calm down at all.

When Assistant Hou saw this, he could not help but say, President Shi, stop spinning. Mrs. Swanson said that you have to recuperate! If it weren’t for Ou Jing, you would have gone straight to the hospital to lie down. How could you still walk around? You should rest!”

“Cut the crap. I know my own body very well. If I don’t leave, just wait and see me sit there and die of anxiety!”

“You…”

Assistant Hou wanted to persuade him further, but he suddenly saw a familiar bus driving towards the company building from the corner of his eye.

His eyes lit up as he grabbed Shi Kai’s sleeve and said, President Shi! Stop spinning! Mrs. Swanson is back!”

“

After Assistant Hou finished speaking, he turned around and realized that Shi Kai had already run out.

He was shocked. He chased after him and shouted, “CEO Shi, slow down! You can’t run!”

However, how could Shi Kai endure it? He disappeared in a flash, and there was no sign of him vomiting blood not long ago.

He hurried to the company lobby and took the lead, pushing his way from the back of the crowd to the front.

Coincidentally, Melody Fox got off the bus with a group of people.

Shikai went to look for Liu Gaoyi and Ai Chunrou first, but they did not see the two of them at all.

It wasn’t until almost everyone got out of the bus that the two of them walked down from the car listlessly.

Seeing this scene, Shi Kai stood on the spot and suddenly let out ah “Ha”. Then, the smile on his lips almost stretched to the sky.

Success! It was definitely a success!

Otherwise, the two of them would have rushed to their side and mocked him.

However, Assistant Hou was staring at Melody Fox. When he saw that there was no joy on her face and that her expression was as cold as ever, his heart skipped a beat. It’s over, it’s over.

He knew it! This project was not so easy to do! Why didn’t Mrs. Swanson listen to his advice? Why did he have to accept everything in one go? Wouldn’t it be better to leave a way out for himself?
