Chapter 220


    Li Wei blurted those words out without thinking. Although he had realized how inappropriate it was to


    call Chujing by her name, it was toote for him to correct it or cover it up.


    His face went red because of anxiety, anger, or shame after his dirty little secret had been discovered.


    "Mr. Li, I... I''m so sorry!"


    Words failed him. He didn''t know what to say except the word "sorry". His heart was tortured by guilt


    when he thought of Jiang Chujing''s current condition.


    It was all his fault. It wouldn''t have ended up like this if he hadn''t been so self-righteous.


    "How is Miss Jiang feeling now? Her condition got worse because of me. I will take my responsibility for


    this, so let me know if she''s still in danger..."


    Li Han looked at Li Wei who was standing in front of him. For so many years Li Wei had been working


    as his subordinate, this was the first time Li Han saw his face registering sorrow. Li Wei was a tough


    man, but at this moment, he had bloodshot eyes because of anxiety and guilty.


    Li Han clenched his hands to suppress his anger and asked, "When did you start to have feelings for


    her?"


    Knowing that Li Han had guessed out the truth, Li Wei didn''t defend himself with lies. "I started to pay


    attention to her at the first sight I saw her at the airport when she returned to the country. Then you


    asked me to stay here and keep an eye on her. That was when I got to know Miss Jiang better and was


    moved by her warmth and care. Her poor health made me worried. I took care of her, hoping that she


    would feel better because of me. That feeling changed into love pretty soon."


    Li Wei felt delighted when he recalled these happy memories between him and Jiang Chujing.


    Regardless of the result, he had paid efforts for his love. Li Wei added soon, "Don''t me Miss Jiang.


    This is all my fault, my wishful thinking."


    Li Han frowned harder at Li Wei''s self-deprecating words. If Li Wei had told him about his feelings


    before, Li Han wouldn''t stand in his way and might even encourage Li Wei to pursue his own


    happiness. However, Li Han wouldn''t be tolerant now and could not trust Li Wei who hid things about


    Jiang Chujing and other things.


    No matter how much he appreciated Li Wei''s ability, Li Han wouldn''t allow Li Wei to work for him


    anymore. Sincerity and trust mattered the most when it came to the rtionship between the boss and


    his subordinate. And Li Wei had just betrayed him.


    Li Han always drew a clear line between public and private affairs, which was one of the most


    significant reasons for his achievements today. There was no need to listen to Li Wei''s following


    exnations. Li Han looked at him with disappointment. "Li Wei, you deserve credit after working for


    me for many years, but still, I''ll fire you for your severe mistake this time that crossed the line. I''ll give


    you a severance. As for the termination contract, thewyer will contact you when it''s ready."


    Li Wei was frozen in shock not because he felt humiliated by the money or being fired. Instead, his


    heart was filled with a strong reluctance.


    Ever since the day when Li Han saved him, Li Wei had made up his mind to work himself to the bone


    for Li Han for the rest of his life and expected this oue.


    However, Li Wei didn''t have the right to beg Li Han to let him stay, no matter how reluctant Li Wei was.


    One who failed in his duty couldn''t defend himself.


    Li Han had no pleasure in seeing Li Wei in a wreck. After all, Li Wei had been his subordinate for many


    years and then turned around to leave. Bang! Li Wei stopped him by kneeling on the ground.


    "Mr. Li! This is myst request..." Li Wei clenched his fists with all his strength that his arms were


    slightly trembling. "Can I see Miss Jiang for thest time? I caused this ident and I''m really


    worried..."


    "No," Li Han refused decisively. "This woman has nothing to do with you. Whether she''s feeling well or


    bad is none of your business."


    These words sounded heartless but Li Han was actuallyforting Li Wei. On one hand, he hoped Li


    Wei would give up his love for Jiang Chujing as soon as possible. On the other hand, by pointing out


    what happened to her had nothing to do with Li Wei, he wished Li Wei could stop ming himself for


    everything.


    No one could stop an ident from happening.


    However, human error could and should be avoided. Li Wei had failed in his duty, but he shouldn''t be


    med for the drowning.


    Li Wei was desperate as hisst hope was dished by Li Han''s words. It would be more difficult for Li


    Wei to see Jiang Chujing after being fired. Maybe Li Wei wouldn''t be able to talk to her again for the


    rest of his life.


    This thought plunged Li Wei into sadness. The pain somehow gave him the courage to say the things


    he had always wanted to say. "Mr. Li, I know it''s inappropriate for me to say this considering my identity


    and position. However, I still want to tell you this. During the time I spent with Miss Jiang, I could see


    how much she likes you. She cares and loves you with her heart."


    Li Han''s face darkened at these words. He turned around, looking at Li Wei. "What do you want to


    say?"


    Li Wei was still kneeling on the ground with his fists clenched and his arms hanging straight beside


    him. His veins were bulging on his forehead due to the strong emotions in his heart. "I wonder if you


    understand Miss Jiang''s feeling for you. She doesn''t love you in the way a sister loves her brother but a


    woman loves a man. Mr. Li, please face this feeling frankly, treat her better, and take good care of her if


    you feel the same way for her. If not, tell her to give up this fantasy as soon as possible. You will hurt


    her even more if she falls any deeper."


    The vi was so empty with only the two of them in it that Li Wei''s voice even echoed in the hall.


    Instead of saying anything in reply, Li Han stared at Li Wei for a long time.


    Li Hanughed after a long time and said solemnly. "Do you think I''m stalling? What do you know about


    her and me? How dare you make such a conclusion?"


    Li Han emphasized each word, which was his way of venting anger. Obviously, what Li Wei had said


    had irritated him.


    Li Han walked over and squatted down to look Li Wei so furiously that Li Wei could not look at him." Do


    you think I don''t know it and don''t want to refuse her? She''s in poor health now. Who will take the


    responsibility if her condition turns worse due to sadness after I refuse her? You? Li Wei, you''ve been


    working for me for so many years. I really thought you understood me. Now it seems I''mpletely


    wrong."


    There was obvious disappointment in these words.


    Stunned, Li Wei paused.


    "I''ve already found the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. Do you think I enjoy dealing with


    two women at the same time? Seeing the woman I love suffer because of me made me want to kill


    myself! It''s the responsibility I have to take that makes my life this hard. What do you know?" Li Han

    said full of anger.


    He felt aggrieved for himself probably because he was about to lose control of his emotions. Shu Tian


    did not understand him. Ling Junze bothered him with those suggestions from time to time. Even Li Wei


    criticized him. The saying said one shouldn''t be greedy and wish everything to go his way. Li Han had


    never expected everyone around to understand him, but it still hurt his feelings when he realized that


    none of them ever did.


    Who could understand the hardship he had been going through?
