When Li Qianxue entered the room, there were already several people sitting inside. Speaking of which, they had all worked with the Li Corporation before.
Sitting at the head of the table was her ex-in-law, Qiu Yanbo's father, Qiu Tonghe. They were all familiar faces, the Zeng Family, the Song Family, the Wu Family, and the Chang Family.
Li Qianxue nodded at a few people and greeted them one by one. Then, she sat down in a seat near the head of the table.
Today was a private banquet. No matter what, Chou Tonghe was once his in-laws. Although the two of them weren't going to get married, they didn't want to become enemies. There was still a connection.
"Qianxue." Chou Tonghe had a good relationship with Li Qianxue. In the past, they used to call each other in-laws. Now, there was nothing wrong with calling each other by name.
He asked Li Qianxue to sit down and poured her a cup of tea. Li Qianxue had been socializing a lot in the past six months, but everyone knew the rules. She usually didn't drink outside.
"Brother Chou, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to be so polite. "
Even if she doesn't give face to Qiu Tonghe, she still has to give face to Old Master Qiu.
"Then I'll be straightforward."
What Chou Tonghe wanted to talk about today had something to do with Huo Jinyao.
Earlier, Madam Luo and Madam Song had teamed up with Su Peizhen and accidentally injured Xiang Caiping. At that time, no one knew that Xiang Caiping was Su Qingsang's biological mother.
Huo Jinyao didn't direct his anger at the Su Family, but at the Luo Family and the Song Family.
There was no need to mention the Luo family. The Star Luo Department Store had been acquired by the Tianyu Group. Now, it was simply miserable. The Song family's Kesong Electronics was even more humiliated by Huo Jinyao.
"Look, it's been so long. Recently, Brother Luo has found some new connections, but your son-in-law is too powerful. They don't dare to give him the list. Qianxue. No matter what, they were family friends. Don't push things too far, don't you think? "
Chou Tonghe didn't want to get involved in these things, but the Luo Family and the Song Family begged the Chou Family. Now, only the Chou Clan had some face in front of the Li Clan. He had to give it to her.
Li Qianxue knew about these things. When she came in and saw the Luo family and the Song family, she roughly guessed the other party's intentions.
"I can't make the decision on this matter."
"Qianxue, that's not appropriate. You're President Huo's mother-in-law. He has to listen to you, right? "
"Not to mention the fact that Huo Jinyao isn't in Lin City right now. Even if he was, he might not listen to me. At the very least, shouldn't you be looking for Huo Jinyao now? "
"Look, you said it yourself. President Huo isn't in Lin City. We can't find him even if we want to. Moreover, President Huo is still standing up for your daughter, isn't he? But Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Song did it for your other daughter. "
Li Qianxue's expression did not look too good. Of course, she knew that. Speaking of which, Su Peizhen was the one who started this. But what of it?
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Song, Su Qingsang wouldn't have felt guilty toward Xiang Caiping. In the end, she even almost refused to acknowledge her as her mother and called Xiang Caiping her mother instead.
Thinking of this, Li Qianxue felt uncomfortable and naturally didn't want to get involved in this matter.
"Qianxue, it's all in the past. Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Song also know that they were wrong. Besides, this has nothing to do with Old Luo and Old Song. Why don't you ask your son-in-law to be merciful and let them go? "
Mr. Luo and Mr. Song, who were called out, began to smile apologetically.
Li Qianxue felt bored. She couldn't eat at all in such a situation. She looked at the two of them.
"Okay. I'll tell Huo Jinyao not to deal with you in the future. However, if you do anything to provoke Huo Jinyao in the future, it's none of my business. "
"Of course, of course."
"How can I? I won't do anything stupid again. "
The two of them promised together. The matter was finally resolved. Chou Tonghe wanted to ask someone to serve the dishes, but Li Qianxue couldn't eat anymore.
She got up and left the hotel.
She didn't want to go home. Li Qianxue sat in the car. The driver in front, Xiao Zhao, asked twice where she was going. In the end, she told him the name of a bar.
It wasn't that she couldn't go home to drink, but it wouldn't be good if Old Master Li saw her like this.
Su Qingsang followed Huo Jinyao to Rong City. Su Yuxin had already gone to school after getting into college. There were only her and Old Master Li at home.
It was fine during the day. Li Qianxue could focus all her energy on work.
But at night, she couldn't. As soon as she returned home, she couldn't help but think of some things in the past.
Her sweet daughter, her obedient son. Although Su Chenghui didn't love her, he would come home every day. At that time, the family wasn't happy, but at least it wouldn't be as lonely as it was now.
After entering the bar, Xiao Zhao couldn't hide the worry in his eyes. Li Qianxue just wanted to have a drink or two. At her age, what could she do?
"Wait for me. Come in and pick me up later."
If it weren't for Xiao Zhao, she wouldn't have dared to go into a bar alone to drink.
Beautiful women always attracted people's attention, even if this woman didn't look young.
For Li Qianxue, age had added a different kind of sexiness to her.
She ordered a glass of Bloody Mary and sat on the edge of the bar, drinking. Li Qianxue was born in a big family and had been carefully trained by Old Master Li since she was a child. Her temperament really didn't fit in with the people around her.
But it was this incompatibility that attracted the attention of many people. Before she finished a glass of wine, someone had already come over to strike up a conversation.
"Miss, can we have a drink together?"
"No." Li Qianxue didn't even look back. She wasn't interested in knowing who the person was.
"Don't be so petty. How boring is it to drink alone? It's more interesting to drink together. "
As the man spoke, he reached out his hand to Li Qianxue. Before Li Qianxue could knock the man's hand away, another hand was faster than her.
Su Chenghui gently twisted the man's hand. He stood there, and his usually elegant face actually had a hint of fierceness at this moment.
"You –"
"Get lost." Su Chenghui's voice was very cold. The man withdrew his hand and took a step back. He wanted to leave like this, but he felt embarrassed, so he could only leave after saying some harsh words.
"Just you wait."
Su Chenghui ignored the man's harsh words and turned to look at Li Qianxue. She had already finished the wine in her glass and ordered a second glass.
When she picked up the glass, he blocked her movement.
"Qianxue, stop drinking."
"Who are you?" Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui and raised her eyebrows slightly. The last time the two of them met was when she went to Rong City to visit Su Qingsang. It had been more than a month since then.
After returning to Lin City, they were both in the mall. They would meet frequently.
However, Li Qianxue had the ability to make herself ignore Su Chenghui. She had met him a few times when she came back, but every time, she completely ignored Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui knew how much she hated him. He felt helpless, but he couldn't let her keep drinking here.
"Qianxue, be obedient. If you want to drink, go back and drink."
Li Qianxue's alcohol tolerance was not bad. A glass of wine was nothing to her. She looked at Su Chenghui's hand on her wrist, raised her hand, and easily waved it away.
"Be obedient? Who are you? Why should I listen to you? "
This was the second time she had said this. A flash of bitterness appeared in Su Chenghui's eyes. "Qianxue, I don't think Dad would want you to do this, right?"
He didn't know what had happened to make Li Qianxue come out to drink, but he believed that Old Master Li would definitely not agree.
"Who are you calling Dad? Su Chenghui, that's no longer your father. "
She was a little annoyed. The person she didn't want to see the most just now was Su Chenghui.
If it weren't for his selfishness, the Li family wouldn't have had so many troubles later on. Thinking of this, she couldn't stay any longer. She withdrew her hand and stood up. Su Chenghui followed behind her. "Qianxue, I'll send you back."
"No need." Li Qianxue stopped. "Who said I'm going back? I'm just going to the bathroom. "
"Qianxue …"
Su Chenghui didn't believe that Li Qianxue would be a person who would throw a tantrum. However, her actions in front of him really made him feel that she was throwing a tantrum with him.
"Su Chenghui, have you had enough?" Li Qianxue looked at the "worry" on his face. She didn't feel touched. She only felt that it was hypocritical. "Why? Are you worried about me now? "
"Yes." Su Chenghui nodded. "It's not safe for a woman to drink outside alone."
"Who said I'm alone? Xiao Zhao is outside. "Li Qianxue's face was a little red because of the alcohol.
She wasn't drunk. She knew that. She stood up straight and looked at Su Chenghui with a flash of mockery on her face.
"Also, you really don't have to worry about me. Let's not talk about the fact that I'm just your ex-wife. We're already divorced and have nothing to do with each other. To me, the person who hurts me the most in this world is you. If you're really worried about me, then don't appear in front of me. Otherwise, every time I see you, I'll feel uncomfortable. "
Su Chenghui's expression didn't look good. His eyes flashed with pain again.
"Qianxue …"
"Stop. Don't call me. I'm disgusted. "
Li Qianxue wasn't in the mood to continue drinking, and she didn't plan to stay any longer.
"Su Chenghui, I'll have to trouble you to put away the damn hypocrisy, guilt, and pain on your face. Because the person who should be in pain should be me, not you. "
Su Chenghui was stabbed by her words again. For a moment, his body couldn't help but tilt.
"Qianxue, yes –"
"Stop." Li Qianxue really didn't want to hear that sentence. "Don't say those three words. It's too degrading. Su Chenghui, what you've done makes me want to stab you a million times. Don't say those three words in front of me. Really, when I hear them, I feel even more disgusted. "
"Qianxue, do we have to be like this?"
No matter what, they had a child together and so many marriages. Was there really nothing good in her heart that she could miss and think about?
"No." Li Qianxue shook her head. "If you don't appear in front of me, you won't have to do this, right?"
Su Chenghui stood still. From the time of the divorce until now, he actually knew what kind of person Li Qianxue was.
He also knew that it was difficult for him to ask for her forgiveness, but every time he had to endure her words and attitude, it still made him feel pain.
In the past, he was the one who made her suffer. Now, it was the other way around. It was she who made him suffer. However, he would rather be mocked by her words than see her.
Li Qianxue ignored him. She couldn't stay where Su Chenghui was. She couldn't stay for even a minute.
After leaving the bar, Xiao Zhao was still waiting. Li Qianxue was about to get into the car when Su Chenghui came over again.
"Qianxue?"
Li Qianxue looked at his hand that was holding hers. "If you don't let go, do you believe that I'll chop off your hand?"
Su Chenghui retracted his hand and took a step back because of her attitude. "Qianxue, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you."
"What else can I have to say to you?" Li Qianxue blinked. She was really curious. She thought that she and Su Chenghui had nothing to say to each other.
"Last time I saw Mayor Li, I think you should be more cautious about the Li Corporation's latest project. I heard that there has been a change in the plan."
Li Qianxue paused for a moment. She knew about that project. It was one of the plans that she carried out independently after the Li Corporation stabilized in her hands.
Had there been a change in the plan? She hadn't heard about it yet, but looking at Su Chenghui, she didn't like his current attitude. She suddenly approached Su Chenghui. "Are you trying to curry favor with me?"
"Qianxue, do you have to think that everything I do has a purpose and is so unbearable?"
"Do you need me to think about how unbearable you are?" Li Qianxue sneered. "Don't you know how unbearable you are?"
Su Chenghui's expression didn't look good. Li Qianxue took a step back and retreated to the side of the car door. "Su Chenghui, you don't get up early without benefits. Everything you do has a purpose. Don't think that I will appreciate your kindness just because you are trying to curry favor with me. Don't forget. Huo Jinyao is my son-in-law. And Mayor Li has a good relationship with him. If anything happens, Mayor Li will definitely inform me and only you. "
"Qianxue, I really don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you."
"I thank you." Li Qianxue nodded, but in fact, she didn't appreciate it at all. "The Li Corporation has nothing to do with you now. I have nothing to do with you anymore. So I don't need your reminder. I won't thank you either. "
She opened the car door. Before getting into the car, she glanced at Su Chenghui again. "Based on what you have done, no matter what you do, I will never forgive you, so you can give up. I will never forgive you in this life. Please don't appear in front of me next time. That way, I can thank you for letting me have peace. "
After saying this, Li Qianxue got into the car without hesitation.
Xiao Zhao sat in the front seat. When Li Qianxue saw his eyes in the rearview mirror, she glanced at him coldly.
"This is the last time. If there is a next time, you don't have to work in the Li family anymore."
Xiao Zhao shrank his neck. At that moment, he was actually shocked by Li Qianxue's gaze.
"Madam, you can't blame me. Sir … no, no, no, what did President Su say –"
"If you think Su Chenghui is better, you can help him drive. I don't mind."
Xiao Zhao completely stopped talking. Li Qianxue didn't want to pay any more attention to him. She closed her eyes to rest.
Thinking of what Su Chenghui had said just now, she was inexplicably even more annoyed.
Ridiculous. Did he really think that she would forgive him? Dream on.
… …
Li Qianxue handed the document in her hand to her secretary, Yang Rong, and gestured for her to leave first. Then, she looked at Wei Ting, who had been sitting opposite her for a long time.
"Wei Ting, your current actions have already interfered with me."
"How could that be? I think you're ignoring me. "
Wei Ting looked at Li Qianxue and spoke with a hint of grievance.
Li Qianxue resisted the urge to hold her forehead. She picked up the photo frame on the desk and faced Wei Ting.
"Do you see this? This is my grandson, my granddaughter. I'm already a grandmother, so you can stop wasting your time on me. "
It was a group photo. She, Old Master Li, Su Qingsang, Su Yuxin, and their two children. The photo was taken last month when Su Qingsang's twins were one month old. She and Su Qingsang sat on both sides of Old Master Li, each holding a child. Su Yuxin stood behind them.
Li Qianxue liked this photo very much. To her, this was a real family photo. So she came back and had it washed and placed on the desk.
"So what?" Wei Ting glanced at the photo and pointed at Li Qianxue. "With you like this, even if you say you're their mother, people will believe you."
Li Qianxue couldn't help but hold her forehead this time. She looked at Wei Ting. "President Wei, I really still have business to deal with. Can you please leave first?"
"But you haven't promised me to have dinner with me tonight." Wei Ting looked even more wronged. "Today is my birthday. Are you that heartless? "
"First, your birthday has nothing to do with me. Second, you also said that it was your birthday last week. Third, I really have something to do today. I have a social engagement tonight, so I refuse. "
"First, I'm pursuing you. I want you to be my girlfriend, so my birthday has something to do with you. Second, I was on the Gregorian calendar last week. Today is the lunar calendar. Can't I? Third, if you want to go to a social engagement, I can accompany you. After all, how inconvenient is it for a woman to go to a social engagement alone? "
"President Wei." Li Qianxue wasn't a sloppy person. The situation in front of her gave her a headache. "If you insist on not leaving, I can only call the security guards to chase you away."
"Qianxue, you don't have to be so cruel to me, do you? I'm just a young man who admires you. "
Li Qianxue was so angry that she laughed. "Yes, I'm already a grandmother, and you're still a young man. So it's impossible between us. "
"Don't say that. People abroad are still together when they're in their twenties. You're only a dozen years older than me. I can accept it. "
"But I can't." Li Qianxue was serious. "I can't accept a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. Even if he's older than me by a day or an hour, I can't."
"Rules are dead, people are alive." Wei Ting was still trying to convince Li Qianxue. Li Qianxue was annoyed. She closed the document in her hand and looked at Wei Ting seriously. "Last week, I met your mother by chance, President Wei. President Wei, if you stay here any longer, I don't mind asking your mother to come and take you away. "
"Qianxue." Wei Ting's face fell. "You don't have to be so heartless, do you?"
He was about to pretend to be pitiful when Li Qianxue's internal line rang.
Li Qianxue didn't want to pay attention to him and pressed the answer button. Yang Rong said that Su Chenghui was here.
"I won't see him."
They had just met yesterday. Why was he here today? Li Qianxue was inexplicably annoyed.
