"What? You want to start working right away, Dad, you’ve got to be kidding , right?" Li Liping never expected Li Hong to say he wanted her to take over Li Group; the news really was a bit too sudden.
Although Li Liping didn’t have any resistance to going to work, or even to taking over Li Hong’s position, this was just way too sudden. She hadn’t even graduated yet!
"Mm, I’ve already made up my mind. I’ll explain it to you in detail when we get back!" Li Hong took Li Liping by the hand and directly got into the back seat of the rcedes 600, signaled the driver to start the car, and left Jincheng residential area.
...
In Villa No. 3, Xue Qingyi was teasing Lin Feng with a bright smile. "Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, I don’t believe you don’t feel anything at all for that little girl Li Liping. The fact that you actually let her go really surprised !"
"Qingyi, what kind of person do you take for?" Lin Feng rolled his eyes at Xue Qingyi, looking extrely innocent. "My relationship with Li Liping is squeaky clean. So what if I do feel sothing? Nothing ever actually happened between us, okay!"
"Nothing ever happened doesn’t an you don’t want sothing to happen!" Xue Qingyi smiled faintly. "What I’m asking about now is how you feel."
Lin Feng guiltily glanced at Xue Qingyi, shook his head, turned his gaze back to the TV, and answered casually, "I don’t feel anything."
Xue Qingyi snapped off the LCD TV on the wall, blocked Lin Feng’s view, and said with a smile, "Lord Wolf King, have you forgotten again that lying doesn’t work in front of ? You still want to fool ? No way! Your heart rate is already speeding up!"
"Is it?" Lin Feng subconsciously reached out to check his pulse.
"Pfft..." Xue Qingyi laughed triumphantly. "See? You’re guilty, aren’t you! Still won’t admit you’ve got feelings for Li Liping!"
This crafty little girl! Lin Feng felt like he was coughing up blood in his heart. In terms of scheming, he really couldn’t beat this sly woman Xue Qingyi.
"Drop it already... She’s gone anyway; there’s no point talking about it." Lin Feng slouched back on the sofa lazily, looking completely drained. As for Li Liping, even he couldn’t sort out what he felt inside. Faced with this famous campus beauty senior from Jiangzhou University, it’d be a lie to say he felt nothing, but Lin Feng knew that the conditions between him and Li Liping just weren’t ripe yet. No matter how much feeling there was, he could only put it on hold for now!
But that wasn’t how Xue Qingyi saw it. She moved her cherry-red lips close to Lin Feng’s ear and whispered, "Lin Feng, don’t be too down! You know, Li Hong just made it pretty clear that Li Group will be handed over to Liping in the future. Do you know what that ans? Simply put, Li Hong has completely handed over power to Liping. He probably won’t interfere with her marriage anymore either!"
"What’s that got to do with ?" Lin Feng glanced up at the beaming Xue Qingyi, his expression a little odd.
"Of course it’s got sothing to do with you..." Xue Qingyi said with a sweet smile. "Once Li Liping fully becos the gorgeous chairman of Li Group, you can go after her! A beautiful chairman, craning her neck waiting for you to ’conquer’ her—doesn’t that sound exciting just thinking about it?"
Exciting my ass... Lin Feng was speechless. He figured there had to be sothing wrong with this girl’s brain. What woman would push her own man to go after another woman? But not only was Xue Qingyi doing exactly that, she even seed to be enjoying it. It was beyond comprehension!
Just then, Lin Feng suddenly heard a text notification from his phone. He casually took it out and saw that it was a ssage from Wu i.
"Lin Feng, are you free this afternoon? I need to talk to you! It’s urgent!"
Wu i, who never took the initiative to contact him, had actually sent a text! Just from the two exclamation marks in the ssage, Lin Feng knew how anxious she must be. He looked at Xue Qingyi and Ning Aoxue. He’d originally planned to just go out directly, but he felt a little uneasy, so he picked up his phone and called Zhou Yang.
"Brother Feng, I was up all night with Xiang Wang ssing with the electronic security system for the three villas, keeping an eye on everything around. We didn’t spot any suspicious people, and there’s been no other unusual movent..."
Zhou Yang seed busy with sothing. As soon as he picked up Lin Feng’s call, he started loudly reporting to Lin Feng, his breathing a bit heavy.
"Zhou Yang, I need to head out this afternoon. You and Xiang Wang keep watching the area around the villas for . Don’t let anything happen to Qingyi and Ning Aoxue again..." After quietly giving Zhou Yang a few instructions, Lin Feng said a quick word to Xue Qingyi, then drove the BMW X5 out of Jincheng residential area.
On the way, Lin Feng contacted Wu i again, then drove straight to the nephrology inpatient building at Jiang Hua Hospital where Wu i’s mother was staying. Downstairs, he saw Wu i, dressed very simply, and a middle-aged woman in a wheelchair with a very pale face. This woman was Wu i’s mother, Cheng Yu.
"Mom, this is my friend Lin Feng, the one I told you about! Lin Feng... this is my mom! She’s already had her kidney transplant surgery, and she can get out of bed today. She wants to go see my dad’s old house, so I had to trouble you to drive us..." Wu i looked very different from usual today. There wasn’t the slightest trace of seduction on her face. Her looks were the sa, the peaks on her chest were still just as magnificent, but that simple, unguarded smile of hers made her whole person seem much more elegant and understated.
Cheng Yu lifted her head and glanced at Lin Feng, a very satisfied smile appearing on her face...
From Wu i’s mouth, Cheng Yu had learned that all her dical expenses were paid by Lin Feng, and that Lin Feng had even asked a friend to teach that bastard third uncle Wu Lian a lesson, helping her keep the old house in Wu Family Village!
Those were two enormous favors. At first, when Wu i only called Lin Feng an ordinary friend, Cheng Yu had worried there’d be no way to ever repay him. But now, how could Cheng Yu still fail to see what Lin Feng and Wu i really were to each other!
Since they were family already, there was no need to fuss about such favors!
Lin Feng took a look at Cheng Yu and gave a faint smile. "It’s no trouble. I’ve never been to your hotown either. I’ve heard the environnt is pretty nice..."
"Wu Family Village faces the mountains and looks out over the lake, a land of talent and good fortune. If it weren’t, the developers wouldn’t have taken a fancy to it." Cheng Yu said calmly, but most of the ti she was secretly sizing up Lin Feng. They say the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more pleasing he becos; Cheng Yu was really starting to feel that.
"Then we’ve really got to go have a look!" Lin Feng smiled slightly, then coordinated with Wu i to carefully help Cheng Yu into the car. He folded up the wheelchair and put it in the trunk, then drove off toward Wu Family Village.
This kid does look a bit young, but thankfully my Wu i isn’t that old either, so they match well enough. Still, n age slowly; later I’ll probably have to remind that silly girl to really take care of herself! Cheng Yu thought with a cheerful smile.
