After hearing these words, seulgi's eyes grew big as they reddened with anger. He then grabbed Lan Xi and asked through gritted teeth, "Yun Xin is already dead, can't you let go of a dead person?"
"I don't even care about the living, why would I care about the dead?" Lan Xi gave a light laugh as she looked at him with her dewy eyes, "seulgi, we have been friends for many years; we are the ones that are friends, how could you go help Nayeon? What benefits have Nayeon given you? Is it really worth giving up our friendship for?"
"Nayeon didn't give me any particular benefits. Unlike you, she can't give me the luxuries of fame and fortune, but...Lan Xi, in front of Nayeon, I feel human. At least she doesn't constantly try to threaten me..."
After expressing his thoughts, seulgi loosened his grip and sneered, "So, don't even mention the word 'friend' in front of me - it makes me sick."
As Lan Xi was pushed away, her heart suffered a blow, "I know I make you feel sick, but have you ever considered how difficult of a position I am in?"
"Nayeon has it more difficult than you. At least you don't have to deal with a boss that is as sinister as you..." Seeing Lan Xi remain quiet, seulgi didn't want to continue arguing with her, "I can hand in my resignation, but...if you want me to vouch for your innocence regarding the recording - impossible."
"If you want to see Yun Xin being scolded by netizens even after her death, then you're welcome to give it a try!"
seulgi glared at Lan Xi, it took all the strength in his body to hold back the urge to slap her across the face. In the end, he simply nodded, "Fine, I'll help you. What do you want me to do?"
"Hold a press conference, clarify this entire incident had nothing to do with me and tell everyone you created the recording by piecing words together!"
seulgi stared helplessly as Lan Xi turned her back to him. It was obvious she wanted him to lose all standing and reputation as soon as he left CT.
He had already got to this point, would it make any difference whether he took the blame or not?
"Fine," seulgi replied straightforwardly. However, as he turned to leave, he added, "You better not regret it."
Lan Xi did not turn back. She maintained her pride as a CEO as she snorted in contempt. She assumed, with Yun Xin's reputation under the line, seulgi wouldn't be able to play any tricks.
After leaving the office, seulgi did not tell anyone about his conversation with Lan Xi. He simply headed to Yun Xin's grave all by himself and sat quietly by her tombstone for the rest of the day.
"Yun Xin...Why didn't you take me with you?"
...
At this time, it had already hit night in London. Nayeon did not receive any updates from seulgi and was feeling a little anxious. In regards to CT, there wasn't much she could get jeongyeon to do. Not to mention, Crown Empire had enough on their plate.
With the absence of seulgi, Jihyo was busy as usual. But there were particular things that took her much longer to do; in particular, anything with English. She didn't understand a lot of professional terms.
"Nayeon..."
"Let me have a look," Nayeon grabbed the laptop and looked at the notes seulgi had written. "This is a void contract, we have already rejected it."
"Aargh, if only I had known earlier! I've already spent a few hours trying to translate it."
After dealing with Crown Empire's matters, Jaemin came out of the study room. Seeing the stressed looks on the their faces, she took the laptop from Nayeon's hands. However, this was exactly what Nayeon hoped she wouldn't do, so her mood lowered even further.
