Chapter 312: Chased Away
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Zhuo tried his best to keep a smile on his face. He was afraid of angering Old Master Li and being chased away.
He smiled awkwardly and said, “Nanchen is working too hard. But don’t worry, I’m back. I can help him with the company’s business.”
Old Master Li looked straight at Li Zhuo and saw through his intentions.
It was really annoying for people who did not have the ability to try and seize power.
Old Master Li smiled coldly and said, “After you return to the branch office, take care of your business properly and don’t let Nanchen worry about you. That will be the greatest help you can provide.”
How could Li Zhuo not be able to tell?
Old Master Li was chasing him to leave.
Li Zhuo’s expression darkened as well. He leaned back in his chair and couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. “The Corporation knows that I came back to help. If I return to the branch company, they will think that Li Nanchen disregards family ties and is stubborn in his own ways.”
“Won’t it affect Li Nanchen’s corporate image?”
Old Master Li was furious, but he knew that Li Zhuo was telling the truth.
Li Zhuo’s return was very loud, and it spread throughout the company. This was also the reason why Li Nanchen had returned to the company.
Old Master Li could not hide his disgust and waved his hand. “Alright, if you want to stay in the company, that’s fine too.”
Li Zhuo’s eyes lit up. When he thought that Old Master Li had no choice but to compromise, he was angered by the latter half of his sentence.
“Just listen to Nanchen’s arrangement. He will arrange everything for you.”
If Li Nanchen arranged for him to return to the branch office, wouldn’t he have to go back again?
What a cunning old man.
They sat facing each other, but their faces and hearts were not harmonious.
At that moment, someone entered.
Old Master Li turned around and saw Mother Wu, whom Bi Fang had sent back. He put on a smile and said, “You’re back?”
Mother Wu hurriedly walked towards Old Master Li and said apologetically, “I’ve made you worried. It’s my fault.”
Old Master Li looked at her helplessly but could not say anything harsh. He could only say, “Stay here for a while longer. You can go back after you’ve recovered.”
“Mei’er is worried about you. If you go home, she will follow you.”
How could Mother Wu not understand Old Master Li’s meaning?
They didn’t want Wu Mei and Li Nanchen to separate.
She immediately smiled and said, “I understand. Don’t worry.”
The butler reminded Old Master Li, “Old Master, it’s time to take your medicine.”
Old Master Li stood up with the help of Mother Wu and walked towards the stairs.
Li Zhuo did not have a chance to speak or interfere.
He was worse than a guest.
Old Master Li had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and looked at Li Zhuo. “Why are you still standing here?”
Li Zhuo knew that Old Master Li would not be able to be ruthless. He quickly said, “I’ll be staying at…”
“It’s good enough that you have a place to stay. You should leave early. It’s getting dark,” Old Master Li said impolitely and turned around, ignoring Li Zhuo.
Clenching his fists tightly, Li Zhuo was so angry that he almost fainted.
It’s already dark?
It’s only morning now, why would it be dark?
Did Old Master Li not even use his brain to come up with an excuse to chase him away?
Sheng Hongfei, who was beside Li Zhuo, finally moved. She tugged on Li Zhuo’s sleeve and asked, “Are we leaving now?”
“Why should we leave? Why didn’t you say anything?” Li Zhuo shouted angrily.
Even an outsider like Mother Wu could get close to Old Master Li, but Sheng Hongfei could not.
Sheng Hongfei lowered her head gloomily. She was no longer as arrogant as she usually was. She seemed to be troubled.
Li Zhuo’s attention was not on his wife. He was only thinking about how to stay on.
The butler stood beside Li Zhuo and smiled politely. “Sir, please.”
Li Zhuo glared fiercely at the butler. As he walked towards the door, he saw Lin Piaopiao walking down the stairs.
Lin Piaopiao was dressed up innocently. Her curly hair was rather beautiful, but her complexion was not too good.
She was holding a glass of water in her hand. It seemed like she was going downstairs to get some water.
Li Zhuo’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Isn’t this Piaopiao? You’re here too.”
When Lin Piaopiao saw Li Zhuo, she instinctively shrunk back. However, when she recalled the reminder Lin Liguo had given her when he contacted her, she responded enthusiastically, “Uncle Li, Auntie, you’re back.”
Sheng Hongfei also greeted Lin Piaopiao. When she noticed Li Zhuo’s gaze, her mood turned sour.
Li Zhuo ignored Sheng Hongfei beside him and held Lin Piaopiao’s hand. He patted it gently and smiled warmly. “We still have things to do. We’ll leave first. See you another day.”
“Uncle Li, Auntie, take care.” Lin Piaopiao stood at the entrance and watched Li Zhuo and Sheng Hongfei leave with the butler.
Lin Piaopiao walked into the kitchen with a glass of water in her hand. There was a crystal chain on her left hand.
However, perhaps because she was too inconspicuous, no one noticed an additional piece of jewelry on her.
While Lin Piaopiao was pouring hot water, she saw a servant carrying two suitcases in. After asking around, she found out that Mother Wu had moved in again.
There was a glint in her eyes as she swirled the glass of water, revealing a vicious message.
Is Li Nanchen the person Wu Mei valued the most?
Is it Mother Wu?
Mother Wu did not have any ability and would only cause trouble for Wu Mei.
She could use Mother Wu to send Wu Mei away before making a move on Li Nanchen.
Lin Piaopiao was in a good mood because she had a new plan.. However, her smile made people uncomfortable.
