"President Li, regarding this file..."
"President Li, the Ministry of Finance has a eting waiting for you..."
"President Li, the daughter of the Jinchen Wealthy Family wants to have dinner with you. Shall we make a reservation for you?"
"President Li..."
As soon as Li Nantian exited the main venue, several secretaries gathered around him, inquiring about his workload.
Li Nantian wore a custom dark blue Armani suit, neat and sharp. Despite his rugged appearance, he still exuded an aristocratic aura.
He efficiently organized his tasks, "Give the file to review first. Let them proceed with the Ministry of Finance eting without —I can’t leave right now. Schedule Jinchen’s appointnt for the evening. We’ll discuss the rest later; I have matters to attend to now."
As he opened the office door, he added, "Ask Lila to bring in two cups of coffee."
"Yes, President Li."
Li Nantian marched into the office decisively, brushing past Li Qiyun, placing the file on the office desk.
The secretaries were swift in their work as well; just as he turned to look at Li Qiyun, coffee was prepared and promptly brought in.
Seeing Li Qiyun, the secretary’s expression briefly showed surprise. She quickly looked down, placing the coffee before the two of them, silently exiting, closing the glass door of the office behind her.
Li Nantian picked up the coffee beside him and took a sip.
The coffee’s taste was rich and bitter; after a sip, he set the cup down. He expressionlessly looked again at the person seated on the sofa and said, "Go ahead, what brings you here?"
"Dad..." Li Qiyun stood up, barely uttering a word.
Li Nantian already had his eyebrows knitted and interrupted her, "I already said, I’m not your father."
"From the mont you made your choice, I ceased to be your father."
Li Qiyun swayed slightly, clenching her fists, her fingernails deeply digging into her flesh, abruptly said, "You were never my father to begin with..."
Li Nantian frowned, looking at her.
Recalling what she had just seen, Li Qiyun tightly pressed her red lips, saying with restraint, "I saw the live stream; it was Grandfather’s intention, wasn’t it?"
Endurance showed on Li Nantian’s resolute face, "It was your grandfather’s idea. I warned you before, every choice cos with consequences. You’re well aware of what you’ve done."
"I did it for the Li family, for Beijue!" Li Qiyun argued emotionally.
Li Nantian’s brow twitched violently. Suddenly lifting his hand, as if reaching the limit of his patience, he struck her fiercely with a slap.
"Pa—"
The sharp sound of the slap rang throughout the office!
The agitated person was unexpectedly silenced, turning her head aside.
Li Nantian then, word by word, pointed at her nose and questioned, "For the Li family, you sold company information to the Oslo family? For the Li family, you devalued the Li family stocks, disregarding the company’s fate, insisting on holding a shareholders’ eting?"
"And for Beijue? For Beijue, you kidnapped Miss Chi? For Beijue, you were so heartless as to poison your grandfather? Qiyun, tell again, for whom did you do all this?"
Li Qiyun’s left cheek was numbed with pain, and her heart felt numb as well.
After Li Nantian learned from Old Master Li that she had been administering chronic poison to him, he had been suppressing a raging fire. Seeing her still stubbornly claim it was for the Li family and Beijue, he could finally hold back no longer. Without giving Li Qiyun a chance to rebut, he tore apart her last veil of sha, "From the start, you did all this for yourself! Tell , why must you force Beijue to break up?"
