trapped with the ceo
The lobby on the first floor was empty. Li Qianluo took the elevator directly to the 28th floor where the president office was located. As soon as she got off the elevator, she heard Qi Zeming informing the media, "I will soon be engaged to Miss Fu Xinru, daughter of the president of Fu Group. Thanks for your best wishes. Thank you!"
He will soon... be engaged to Miss Fu Xinru... daughter of the president of Fu Group! Fu Xinru? Her bestie over the past 11 years?
Another bomb was dropped on Li Qianluo. Lu Zixi, behind her, turned furious after hearing those words and intended to beat him.
Li Qianluo plucked hard at his hem of clothes and shook her head at him, as she wanted to learn what Qi Zeming would continue to say.
"Mr. Qi, it is said that you are dating Li Xiancheng's daughter, Li Qianluo. Now you are going to be engaged to Miss Fu Xinru. Can you explain that?"
Qi Zeming, being the General Manager of Li Group at the young age of 24, is listed among the most desirable golden bachelors in the upper class. Not to mention, his gentle, learned and refined appearance makes him more popular to girls. That is also the reason why Li Qianluo liked him in the first place, isn't it?
"Yes, I was dating her. But it's been a long time since we broke up." Qi Zeming answered the media, with a consistent gentle facial expression and a soft tone.
What he said, however, pierced Li Qianluo's heart like a sharp knife.
She suddenly recalled that she felt uncomfortable right after drinking the glass of red wine that Qi Zeming handed her, and it was Fu Xinru that walked her upstairs.
"Hahaha..." Sneer came from behind, which was so loud that everyone in the hall can hear it, when the reporters took close-ups of Qi Zeming.
All of them looked back curiously and found that the woman who sneered loudly looked familiar.
"Li Qianluo! She is Li Qianluo! Li Xiancheng's beloved daughter!" An experienced reporter recognized Li Qianluo. Just then, all reporters ran to her, and Li Qianluo was closely surrounded.
Qi Zeming's face didn't look very well when he saw Li Qianluo. Why is she here in the company? Where had she been after drinking the red wine? Qi Zeming doesn't love her at all. What he desires is her body, and he was so close to get that last night. But he could not find her after greeting Li Xiancheng, wasting such a good chance. Damn it!
"Miss Li, why do you laugh?"
"Miss Li, do you know anything about President Li?"
"Why did you break up with General Manager Qi?"
The reporters kept raising questions. Li Qianluo looked at nothing but Qi Zeming's displeased face, staring at him as if he was her enemy.
He made no explanation. Could she draw a conclusion that Qi Zeming and his father have robbed her father's company, abandoned her who has nothing at all then, and is going to be betrothed to her best friend?
She could not blame on anyone else, because Lu Zixi had warned her that Fu Xinru was not pure-minded and she ignored it.
"What do you guys want to know? I will tell you anything. Why did we break up? Well, do you know what I nicknamed Qi Zeming? Three-Sec Qi! Yes, he lasts short in bed. An apple of Sodom. And Fu Xinru, a home wrecker, had an affair with Three-Sec Qi when we were still together. Now they join hands to frame up my dad and occupy his company. I will be at daggers drawn with them from this moment on!"
Everyone kept silent within a few seconds after Li Qianluo finished talking. Qi Zeming looked at her with a twisted face. One third of what she said was correct. And how dare she call him Three-Sec Qi? They had been together for three years. He really should have slept with her to let her check if he can only last for three seconds.
"Qianluo, I understand how you feel right now. Nevertheless, you are over the top by making things up like this. Conclusive evidence against Uncle Li has been provided. My dad and I are very disappointed too. And Xinru..." Qi Zeming adjusted his mood and resumed his gentle voice. But before he could finish it, Li Qianluo went into the president office directly with the help of Lu Zixi, not giving him even a glance.
In such a case, the reporters had to focus on Qi Zeming again.
In the president office.
Lu Zixi didn't go into the office together. Instead, he waited outside.
Li Qianluo gently pushed the door and walked into the room. Li Xiancheng, sitting at the desk and resting his forehead in the right hand with eyes closed, was immersed in thought.
"Dad..."
"Qianluo, here you come." Li Xiancheng smiled, which brought tears to Li Qianluo's eyes, as his smile was so unnatural that it was uglier than crying.
"Dad, don't be sad. Grandma and I will stay with you, OK?" Li Qianluo tried to make her voice easy and relaxed, but she failed and sobbed when she saw some grey hairs on Li Xiancheng's head.
All of a sudden, she realized how unfilial she was, as her dad had provided her such an extravagant life while she had never thought of repaying him or easing his burden.
"Qianluo, I will not be able to offer you whatever you want in the future..." Li Xiancheng looked at the data on the computer, feeling as if a knife was cutting his heart.
"Dad, I don't want anything. I just hope that grandma, you and I can live together, safe and sound." Li Qianluo walked towards her dad, and gently hugged him who has been protecting her since she was born.
Looking at his sensible daughter, Li Xiancheng felt much better, and patted the back of her hand. After standing up slowly from the chair, he packed up his belongings and left.
Li Xiancheng and Li Qianluo walked out of the office together, while Qi Zeming had left. The reporters were still waiting for them. As soon as they saw Li Xiancheng, they rushed at him.
"Mr. Li, is there anything you want to say about the accusations?"
"Mr. Li, Mr. Qi Yunzhong has expressed that he would not call you to account for your guilt after you resigned from the president post. What do you think?"
"President Li..."
Li Xiancheng did not want to explain a word for those fabricated charges at all. Not wanting her dad to suffer more of this, Li Qianluo said: "Why do you compel my dad to admit things that he has never done? He was framed by those despicable people. There will be evidence proving my father's innocence someday." Li Qianluo said, still with pride. "Miss Li, is Qi Yunzhong the despicable people that you said?"
A reporter was anxious to stir up trouble and immediately caught the main point.
"I think I have made myself clear. You will know the truth someday." Though knowing nothing about the business of the company, Li Qianluo was not timid and would not let others bully her dad wantonly. Qi Yunzhong, Qi Zeming and Fu Xinru, let's wait and see! Seeing the perseverance on her small face, the man sitting in front of the television lifted the edges of his sexy lips slightly.
"Boss, Li Group has been transferred. Shall we still acquire the group as planned?" The assistant Yun Qi checked the information that has just been collected. All things were alright, except the transfer.
