Chapter 1189: Chapter 1209: Nangong Zhongli Completely Collapses
Until that familiar figure slowly disappeared and was no longer visible, she suddenly crouched down, her entire body convulsing, and began to cry softly.
The bodyguard beside her tensed up once again.
"Miss Qi Yue, it’s time to board... You..."
Qi Yue’s body stiffened.
She raised her eyes and wiped away her tears.
Standing up, she glanced at the bodyguard nearby.
"Let’s go."
At this moment, in the distance, a man in the corner watched Qi Yue’s departing figure, took out a camera, and captured the scene.

"What did you say?" Nangong Zhongli looked at the bodyguard across from her, asking in disbelief.
"It was... Mr. Liang himself who personally saw Miss Qi Yue off," the bodyguard said, trembling as he placed a stack of photos on Nangong Zhongli’s desk.
Nangong Zhongli’s eyes widened, staring at the photos of Liang Shaochen and Qi Yue conversing at the airport.
Her face turned white in an instant.
She flipped through the photos one by one, her fingers beginning to tremble.
"No... impossible... How could Shaochen know about this... No, he wouldn’t..."
At the last photo, she suddenly threw all the photos in her hand away.
"No!" She shouted, jumping up from her chair.
"Miss Zhong Li... What should we do now? That bitch Qi Yue actually got Mr. Liang to shield her. Why don’t I simply arrange for someone to... directly..."
The bodyguard spoke, making a silencing gesture.
Nangong Zhongli scolded coldly, "Are you an idiot?! If something happens to Qi Yue now, won’t Shaochen know it was me?! Do you want me to completely become a bad woman in Shaochen’s eyes?!"
The bodyguard immediately stepped back: "Sorry, Miss Zhong Li... That wasn’t what I meant..."
"Get out! All of you, get out!" Nangong Yaoling shouted, sweeping everything off the desk.
The air resonated with a loud crash, causing the bodyguard to turn pale and quickly flee.
"Yes, Miss Zhong Li... I’m leaving now..."
Nangong Zhongli was left dumbfounded.
For a moment, she was at a complete loss...
Damn it! Damn it all!
She cursed loudly in her heart.
She never expected that Qi Yue, who seemed so stupid and timid, would actually dare to go to Liang Shaochen!
Her audacity was astonishing, daring to openly oppose her, Nangong Zhongli!
That bitch.
What exactly did she say to Shaochen? Why would Shaochen personally see her off?
If she told Shaochen everything, then, in Shaochen’s heart...
Nangong Zhongli closed her eyes, unable to think any further.
What should she do? What should she do now?
Nangong Zhongli walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and back again.
She was entirely in a state of collapse.
If Shaochen questioned her, how would she explain? Would Shaochen believe Qi Yue’s words?
Shaochen is so kind, he would certainly despise her!
Nangong Zhongli held her head in her hands, her mind in turmoil.
Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
At the moment the sound rang out, her whole body involuntarily shuddered.
Her heartbeat quickened as she stared at the phone for a few seconds before stepping forward to the desk.
Picking up the phone and seeing Shaochen’s name, her heart seemed to leap into her throat.
She extended her hand and patted her chest.
No, she must remain calm; she can’t lose her composure!
