trapped with the ceo
Not answering Yun Qi's question, Si Jinheng tapped on the armrest with his slender fingers now and then, long before he started to say: "Make an investigation into this woman." He pointed at the woman on the screen, with his irrelevant words confusing Yun Qi.
A woman? Li Xiancheng's daughter? Does his daughter have anything to do with acquiring Li's company?
Being full of questions, Yun Qi said nothing but "Yes, sir."
With the help of Lu Zixi, Li Qianluo and her father got rid of the reporters and drove home in a Benz.
Their villa is located in a rich neighborhood in the east of the city, with fresh air and beautiful surroundings. Only the richest families in D City can afford the houses here.
In the warm home, the aged Rong Xiangwan had been waiting for them on the sofa for a long time. When she saw the father and the daughter coming, she stood up with her walking stick immediately.
"What on earth is going on there, Xiancheng?" The grey-haired old woman asked in a hurry, leaving the two people not knowing how to tell her.
Li Xiancheng opened his mouth but could say nothing, as he did not want to hurt his mother at such an old age.
"Grandma, please don't worry …" Li Qianluo handed her grandmother, not knowing how to comfort her though.
"How could I not worry about it? The news has been reported on several channels today. What's going on there? Tell me now!" Although Rong Xiangwan is old now, she used to dominate the business when she was young. With a serious facial expression, she hit the ground with the walking stick, making the other two's hearts beat faster.
"Mom, please don't be angry. Take care of ..." The old lady has heart disease and should not get angry. But he could not finish what he was saying and was interrupted by Rong Xiangwan.
"Nonsense. I know my own physical status."
"Just as you know, I have lost our company." Li Xiancheng sighed. His mother and his wife had made great contributions to the company. What had happened made him feel ashamed to face his mother and his dead wife.
He has lived for decades, but was betrayed by his closest friend that he had trusted so much.
"Why? Did you really commit crime? Or were you cheated?" Rong Xiangwan is very sure that her son would never do bad things. However, she could not figure out other reasons why things happened like this.
"Qi Yunzhong and his son have planned for many years." He thought that Qi Yunzhong had a grudge against him because of what happened over 20 years ago.
More than twenty years ago, they regarded each other as real brothers. However, they loved a woman at the same time - Ren Lanxin, Li Qianluo's mother and his wife that passed away ten years ago. Both of them crazily ran after her, as she was very elegant and graceful.
One night, Li Xiancheng was drunk and forced her to have sex with him in the car. As a result, she had no choice but to marry him. Upon learning the truth, Qi Yunzhong fought with him and disappeared. It was not until a year later that he came back and contacted Li Xiancheng actively. At that time, Qi Yunzhong was already married and expressed that he would let bygones be bygones.
"Qi Yunzhong and his son ..." One was his son's best friend, the other was Qianluo's boyfriend with whom she grew up together. The old lady, out of breath, became unconscious and fainted.
"Mom ..."
"Grandma ..."
Rong Xiangwan was sent to the hospital for rescue at 5 p.m. due to the heart attack. The operation failed. Rong Xiangwan came round at 8 p.m. that night and passed away with her son and her granddaughter by her side.
Her death hit the whole D City, as she used to have a great influence on the business world of D City, as well as being the dream lover of many men when she was alive.
A lot of her old friends attended the funeral to mourn for her, while many others who were in good relationship with Li Xiancheng didn't show up, but sent funeral wreaths instead.
Qi Yunzhong and his son also came to the funeral, which made Li Xiancheng rage and lose control. Thus Li Qianluo commanded security guards to throw them out. This event was covered by the news media for a long time. Many people concluded that Li Xiancheng had bad luck making friends with Qi Yunzhong, and was too weak to protect his company from them.
After the funeral, the court put up Li's valuables for auction to clear off his large amounts of debts, as well as sealing his villa. Li Xiancheng disappeared after leaving a note for Li Qianluo. No one knows where he is, or whether he is alive or dead.
With the note in hand, Li Qianluo stood in the rain with a suitcase, tallow-faced and confused.
Is it a dream of her? Everything was all right several days ago, and even her grandma picked a birthday gift for her happily. How come things end up like this?
Although words on the note had been washed away by the rain, they were still recognizable. Li Qianluo checked the note many times as she could hardly believe her eyes.
"Qianluo, your mom and I found you by a riverside 22 years ago and brought you back home. Now I have nothing. You should go to find your biological parents. Goodbye, my dearest princess."
...
Grandma, dad, and mom, I hate you! Why do you leave me alone? I miss you so much!
Qi Yunzhong, Qi Zeming, and Fu Xinru, I hate you! Why do you betray me?
And that man also...
She hates them all!
...
It was raining more and more heavily. Li Qianluo could not sustain both the physical and mental suffering. She passed out.
A limited edition black Maybach stopped by Li Qianluo after she lost consciousness. The assistant Yun Qi put up an umbrella and opened the back door of the car. A man wearing a pair of brand new leather shoes got off the car, and picked Li Qianluo up. Then the car headed for the hospital.
In a luxury VIP ward in the Chengyang Private Hospital.
After opening the sore eyes, Li Qianluo saw a pendant lamp with dim light. She was having a transfusion. Cold liquid went into her body slowly via her left hand. Where is she?
"You're awake?" The cold voice sent her a chill. Who is that?
She struggled to sit up, but failed. She gave up soon, as she was so weak.
Suddenly, a man wearing a white shirt showed up and looked down at her at the bedside. Li Qianluo blinked and thought how handsome the man is. All the dashing eyebrows, deep eyes, aquiline nose and sexy thin lips are demonstrating his elegance and grace. The tall and slim figure makes him more attractive. However, his cold, arrogant and aggressive temperament throughout made Li Qianluo shrink her neck unconsciously. This man seemed to be a little familiar...
"Who are you?"
"I'm your man."
"... Do you suffer from delusional disorder?" Li Qianluo treated him with disdain and thought he didn't deserve the handsome appearance.
Si Jinheng pressed the call button at the bedside. A group of people came into the room within a minute.
She must be in the hospital. A nurse wearing a gauze mask gently helped her sit up and considerately put a pillow behind her back for her to lean on.
The man in the front of the group may be in his twenties. With thick eyebrows slanting upwards and eyes as clear as the morning dew, he was looking at the medical equipment attentively.
