With a bang, Allan was thrown to the ground outside. If it weren't for the fact that the road outside was very clean, he would have been covered in dirt. However, after being dragged out all the way, his originally straight suit became messy and wrinkled. Compared to his clothes, his heart was more damaged. He looked up at the two servants who threw him out in disbelief.
How dare they! Did they really do what Li Xiao said?
He, Allan Dimari, had never been so humiliated. If what happened today were to spread out, he would lose all his face in the circle. His face was red with anger, and he glared at the two waiters.
In a trance, he remembered what Li Xiao said before she threw him out, and it was like a basin of ice water was poured over his head. His voice was hoarse. "Is the new shareholder of Chiti Li Xiao?"
That was why she said that she was the hostess of the banquet and had the right to drive out the bad guests. How was that possible? How did she get close to Grand Duke Smith? Allan's brother was the head of the De Mare family, and he was an important family member, so he knew a little about Grand Duke Smith. What he had was not only the wealth on the surface, but also the mysterious power that many people dreamed of. Although the De Mare family was a famous consortium, it couldn't be compared to Grand Duke Smith. He couldn't afford to offend Grand Duke Smith.
This possibility made him feel cold all over, and he desperately wanted to hear a negative answer from them.
The extremely handsome waiter ruthlessly extinguished his hopes. "Miss Li is His Excellency's honored guest."
They didn't say anything else, nodded slightly, and turned to leave, leaving the three of them shivering in the cold wind.
Chan Ka-yin looked at the dazed Allan. He was no longer as high-spirited as before, and he looked no different from an ordinary man. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip, and a strong sense of unwillingness emerged in her heart. She thought that Allan was already very powerful, and could even take her away from the prison in China like a savior.
However, Allan had no status in front of Grand Duke Smith. Li Xiao was thrown away just like that, and she was not afraid of offending him and the De Mare family. She and Chien Fei were also driven out. She had thought about how to show her charm in front of these big shots, but it was too late to do anything.
She was terrified. After offending such a big shot, could she and Chien Fei really start a new career in the M Country smoothly? Most likely, Li Xiao could casually stretch out a finger and crush them like ants. The M Country was not like China, and the power of the consortium was more terrifying than she had imagined.
She had not gone to all that trouble to get out of that damned place just to be humble. If she was destined to rely on men, she might as well rely on the most powerful one. If Xu Manqin and Li Xiao could do it, there was no reason why she couldn't.
She subconsciously touched her cheeks and regained some of her confidence.
Although she was already disloyal, she still needed Allan before that.
She bent down and helped Allan up. She took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the dust on his face.
Allan was immersed in her tenderness and couldn't help but feel touched. As expected, Jiayin was different from other women.
After wiping his face clean, he called the driver and asked him to come and pick him up. He had to explain to his family that he didn't mean to offend Grand Duke Smith.
Chan Ka-yin suddenly felt cold. She turned her head and looked, but didn't find anything wrong. Maybe it was the wind. After all, it was the end of January, and the weather was indeed very cold. She subconsciously wrapped her cloak tightly around her body.

Li Xiao's act of throwing the person out really stunned many of the guests. In the past, even if everyone met someone they didn't like, they would at most say a few words of sarcasm. They wouldn't be like this little girl, who threw them out just like that and directly fell out with them, not giving the other party any face at all. Although the beauty was beautiful, her personality was too spicy, like a thorny rose. It also made some people who were ready to make a move not dare to have any ideas about her. They were afraid that they would follow in Allan's footsteps and become the topic of conversation in the circle.
At the same time, everyone was also very surprised. Why did Miss Li catch Grand Duke Smith's eye? As for Xu Manqin, not many people paid attention to her since Li Xiao had attracted all the firepower.
One of the ladies who liked Allan's design style was a little displeased with her. She said tactfully, "I thought China should be a country of etiquette."
What she meant was that what Li Xiao did was very rude.
Li Xiao glanced at her calmly. "Yes, I understand. You really want to be with Allan. Okay, I'll fulfill your wish! "
She asked politely, "Do you want me to throw you out, or do you want to walk out by yourself?"
Look, she was so reasonable! Seeing that the other party was a lady, she even gave her a chance to choose.
The lady who looked graceful and luxurious blushed. In the end, under Li Xiao's gaze, she left dejectedly. She couldn't stay any longer and be chased out by this little girl and lose face. As for whether she regretted it in her heart, that was something that only the person involved knew.
Regardless of whether she regretted it or not, Li Xiao wouldn't regret it herself. She only felt refreshed! She glanced at the crowd, as if saying that if anyone continued to force her, they would lose face. Everyone who was swept by her clear gaze had a strong desire to live. They suddenly became friendly and chatted with the people next to them. It was peaceful, as if nothing had happened before.
When Grand Duke Smith and Duke Johnson appeared together, they were surprised to find that the guests, who had always been reserved, were showing a rare enthusiasm. This kind of scene was not common.
It wasn't until a shareholder who was familiar with Smith slightly mentioned what Li Xiao had done that Smith suddenly realized. But he didn't think that Li Xiao had done anything wrong. Smith had always been arrogant and didn't put humans in his eyes. Because he had suffered a loss at Li Xiao's side, while he was afraid of Li Xiao, he also naturally classified Li Xiao as someone on the same level as him.
So when the inferior human in his eyes offended Li Xiao, it was natural for her to drive them out.
In the face of other people's tactful complaints, he just nodded reservedly. "Yes, after all, she's a girl, so she's more soft-hearted."
If it were him, the human who dared to offend him would either be able to beat him or have grass grow on their graves.
When the others heard this, they were speechless. Miss Li was so arrogant that she threw people out, but Grand Duke Smith still thought that she was soft-hearted? Was he using a thousand-meter filter?
Some people even muttered in their hearts, 'So this is the type of girl that the Grand Duke likes.'
No matter how much they cursed in their hearts, in the face of Li Xiao, who was obviously covered, they welcomed her very well. Their attitude was close and they didn't make people feel offended.
Li Xiao had to admit that these people were quite capable when it came to pleasing others.
She met the other shareholders in turn. When asked about Chiti, she said bluntly, "Chiti is good in every way, but it's just that its taste is not very good. It chose such a designer."
Chiti's CEO was silent for a moment and looked at Li Xiao with a subtle expression. Although he knew that Li Xiao and Allen had a lot of conflicts, he didn't expect that the other party didn't hide his intention to drag Allen down from that position at the first banquet. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart. It was better to offend the De Mare family behind Allen than to offend Grand Duke Smith. He said leisurely, "Miss, what do you mean?"
Li Xiao went straight to the point and said, "I think it's time for Chiti to make some changes."
Another shareholder, William, was not used to Li Xiao's attitude. He also had some friendship with the De Mare family. "Allen's professionalism is impeccable."
Li Xiao smiled, but her eyes were cold. "Oh, in that case, I'm afraid you'll have to attend another equity change banquet in a few days. I'm sure Luo Xi would like to buy a part of Chiti's shares. "Luo Xi was also a famous international brand and competed fiercely with Chiti. If Luo Xi's CEO really became the second largest shareholder of Chiti, their faces would be thrown to the ground and trampled on.
Li Xiao was clearly threatening. Anyway, for her, taking Chiti's shares was not to make money, but because she didn't like Allen. If she couldn't suppress Allen, what was the use of her shares? Anyway, she was not afraid of wet shoes.
After a while, Chiti's CEO said, "It's time to think about it."
Xu Manqin saw this and sighed in her heart. She knew that Li Xiao did this just to vent her anger.
The banquet came to an end in this strange atmosphere.
When Li Xiao's banquet was over and she left with Duke Johnson, there was a new change in everyone's eyes — a Smith and a Johnson, even they had to think about it carefully.
When they returned to Johnson's Allman Manor, Xu Manqin said, "I thought you would send Chan Ka-yin back to China."
Li Xiao smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, she will cry and shout to return to China."
She had already sent a gift to Chan Ka-yin. She used the resentment in the bead left by the Zeng Lünian to draw several Nightmare Talismans and gave them to Chan Ka-yin. These Nightmare Talismans would definitely make Chan Ka-yin beg for death. Well, unless she went back to prison on her own initiative, she would not break the spell.
****
The next day.
Chan Ka-yin woke up in a daze. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked haggard. There was still panic in her eyes. She didn't expect that she would still have nightmares after leaving China for so long. In the dream, she was the victim and was killed in various cruel ways by the Zeng Lünian.
When the dream was about to end, those who had died long ago stared at her with resentment and said that they would not let her go unless they saw her suffer retribution with their own eyes.
Chan Ka-yin was horrified and also felt wronged. The Zeng Lünian was dead and she didn't kill them. Why did they come to her?
She reluctantly covered her face with foundation and went downstairs with a tired face. When she saw Alan, she was startled.
Alan's eyes were red from staying up late and the stubble on his chin was visible. He looked a lot more down and out. The hall was also filled with the smell of cigarettes.
Chan Ka-yin frowned slightly. Alan knew that she didn't like to smoke. Even if she did, she usually restrained herself. She already had a headache from the nightmare and the smell of cigarettes made her want to vomit. She suppressed the annoyance in her heart and asked softly, "What happened?"
Alan scratched his hair in pain and said in a depressed voice, "I was fired by Chiti."
He was no longer the chief fashion designer of Chiti. He hadn't slept since he received the news last night. Alan was able to get this position at such a young age not only because of his family's help but also because he had accepted Chiti's unfair contract. At that time, he thought that Chiti would give him face because of his family. He didn't expect that he would be fired so quickly. They didn't even discuss it with him and informed him directly.
"How is that possible?" Chan Ka-yin blurted out in shock. Li Xiao's figure flashed across her mind. "Did Li Xiao do it? How can she suppress people with her power? "
As she said this, she suddenly remembered that two years ago, Allan had also casually ordered Xu Manqin to be banned and her company was sent to hell.
Now, Xu Manqin's daughter had also suppressed people with her power and made Alan taste the bitter fruit.
