Chapter 1922: Chapter 1923: So Chu Xi Was Hidden Here
The Old Madam clicked her tongue, dazed, "But our family is in the Capital City..."
Before she could finish, Mrs. Han put down her phone and said, "Mom, do you know the Li Group?"
"Of course, who doesn’t know the Li Group?" She came to her senses, her jaw almost dropping in shock, "Li... Li Group? Are you saying that man is the president of Li Group?"
Mrs. Han nodded expressionlessly, "He is Li Shengxiao."
The Old Madam slumped into her seat, unable to utter a word.
Their family could only be considered nouveau riche, but her daughter was lucky to marry the president of Han Real Estate, and her status as mother-in-law naturally rose with the tide. Han Real Estate’s soaring success in the country over the past two years was largely due to the capital support from the Li Group behind it.
Which means, Han Real Estate is indeed formidable, but without the backing of Li Group, Han Real Estate might not continue to thrive!
She offended the man her daughter and son-in-law most wished to please!
The Old Madam’s voice changed, "How was I supposed to know that kid had such a big background? I saw him dressed plainly and assumed he was from an ordinary family, who knew I had offended the Li Group. I..."
She looked as if the sky had fallen.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Han was in no mood to console her mother and briefly explained Rong Yan and Li Shengxiao’s identities before hurriedly calling her husband to tell him about what happened at school.
...
Han Corporation.
After Han Feng hung up the phone, his face was as dark as ink, tinged with blue. He drove everyone out and had no mood for a meeting, sitting alone in his swivel chair lost in thought.
At this moment, the office door opened.
"Didn’t I tell you all to leave and not disturb me, who let you in, get out!" he snapped without looking up, feeling irritated.
The sound of high heels clicking didn’t stop.
Drawing closer, they halted beside him.
A fair, slender finger rested on his suit, fingers danced on his shoulder, starkly contrasting the dark fabric of his suit.
"What’s wrong, why are you so upset? Was the meeting not going well, or did someone anger you?"
A charming voice, tender and soft, slid into his ears, enough to make any man’s body go weak.
Han Feng grabbed the mischievous hand and abruptly pulled her into his arms, inhaling deeply at her neck, his expression fluctuating as he said, "Baby, the Chu Family and Mr. Li are still looking for your whereabouts, you better not run around, what if someone discovers you."
Chu Xi gave a mocking laugh, nestling in his arms like a femme fatale, "If I’m discovered, we’re done for. Just as well, we can elope together."
The man’s neck stiffened, pushing her away, he warned coldly, "...don’t joke about this!"
Chu Xi was pushed hard against the corner of the table, wincing in pain but still smiling as she stood up and said, "I’m not joking with you. You took advantage of me, now it’s too late to back out. We’re in the same boat, protecting me is protecting yourself!"
"You tricked me?"
Chu Xi’s eyes turned cold, gazing at him with loathing and disdain, "I tricked you? It was you who called me first, asked to meet. Then you slept with me, took money from me, promised to help me. Now that you realize the trouble I’ve caused is significant, you want to deny this, that won’t do!"
At that time, she was already hiding in a small hotel, but the news that Li Shengxiao was looking for her hadn’t been leaked yet.
