"Huh?"
The employees were surprised by what they saw.
Their eyes widened in shock.
They could not believe that they were looking at the company's CEO.
"It can't be!" some of the people said.
They were not used to seeing their boss acting gently.
It seemed the rumors about Shi Jue abandoning Xia Weiyang to be with another woman were not true.
They were deceived.
The receptionist's face turned pale as her body trembled in fear. If she wasn't leaning against the counter, she might have already collapsed to the ground. Her mind was blank as she looked straight at Shi Jue and Xia Weiyang.
After a while, she came back to her senses.
She could not believe that she said mean things to Xia Weiyang earlier.
"I'm okay. I would have come to your office sooner, but I couldn't leave the lobby." Xia Weiyang rubbed her sore wrist and glanced at the others as she spoke.
She snorted in her heart. The people who were bullying her earlier suddenly became very quiet.
Hearing this, Shi Jue looked coldly at the employees. Then, his gaze fell on the receptionist.
The receptionist's heart suddenly trembled, and her face became even paler. Drops of cold sweat rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't dare to wipe them off.
"Sir, I didn't mean it. Really, sir. Please forgive me this time," the receptionist said with a trembling voice.
"It's my fault for not recognizing Xia Weiyang. I'll punish myself." The receptionist then started to hit her own face.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The sound of her palm hitting her face echoed in the lobby.
However, no one sympathized with her. They were too afraid to show any emotion in front of Shi Jue.
When Mo Yi entered the lobby, he immediately saw what was happening. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When he saw Xia Weiyang, he immediately understood the situation. He slowly walked to Shi Jue's side.
"I have a bad mouth. I deserve to be hit. I have a bad mouth. I deserve to be hit. CEO, please forgive me..."
The receptionist continued to hit herself.
She was begging for Shi Jue's forgiveness. She knew her life in B City would be over if Shi Jue fired her.
Shi Jue calmly retracted his gaze. He did not even bother to look at the receptionist. He then reached out to hold Xia Weiyang's hand.
Xia Weiyang coldly glanced at the receptionist. Although she averted her gaze, she did not ask Shi Jue to forgive her.
She had brought this upon herself.
The others carefully looked at Shi Jue and Xia Weiyang. When they saw that they were holding each others' hands, they knew that they must not provoke Xia Weiyang in the future.
The future wife of their boss would definitely be Xia Weiyang. There was no doubt about it.
The faces of the employees who insulted Xia Weiyang turned pale.
Suddenly, Shi Jue turned to Mo Yi. "Pull up the surveillance video in the lobby and watch it carefully. I want you to identify everyone who insulted Xia Weiyang."
After Shi Jue finished speaking, many of the employees began to cry and beg for forgiveness.
Some of them tried to approach Shi Jue, but they were immediately blocked by the security guards.
Shi Jue then entered his personal elevator with Xia Weiyang.
Shi Jue glanced at Xia Weiyang.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you," he gently said as he held Xia Weiyang in his arms.
