Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Chapter 485 Shameless
Zhang Ling shook her body in disgust, trying to break free from Li Xi's entanglement.

Li Xi wanted to continue following Zhang Ling.

After saying "sister-in-law" again, she tried her best to explain to the old man:

"Don't get me wrong! Zhang Ling is indeed my sister-in-law. There was just a small misunderstanding between us. That's why she was a little unhappy and didn't want to recognize me."

Zhang Ling smiled in disbelief, shook her head, looked at Li Xi and said:
"Interesting! Li Xi, what do you mean there was just a little misunderstanding between us? You didn't lose your memory and forget that the conflict between us has lasted for more than ten years."

"This... is not the case, Zhang Ling, we are not in the position of looking for grudges! Remember, you have always been the most generous person. Why are you suddenly so aggressive towards me today? This is not like you."

"Am I being aggressive?"

Zhang Ling was so angry that she smiled helplessly and continued:

"Ahaha, Li Xi, the word aggressive is the most appropriate to describe you. I just expressed the truth just now, and you can't stand it?"

"No, Sister-in-law Zhang Ling..."

Mother Ning waved her hand and smiled, signaling Li Xi to stop talking.

Then he looked at Zhang Ling and said respectfully:
"Alright! Haha, Miss Ling, what's the dispute between you and Miss Li? I have no right to express my opinion. I came here specially to take you to see the old lady. Please move this way."

Zhang Ling looked at Li Xi with some hesitation and asked:

"What about her?"

Mother Ning also glanced at Li Xi and replied:

"Miss Li? In fact, the old lady had already expected to meet Miss Ling today. Miss Ling will definitely be accompanied by someone."

Zhang Ling and Li Xi looked at each other and said in unison:
"The old lady knows?"

Mother Ning nodded and continued:
"Before coming, the old lady said that she doesn't mind Miss Ling bringing someone to see her."

When Li Xi heard this, he realized the implication of what Ning's mother said.

That is whether she can go with her to see the old lady.

It all depends on Zhang Ling's thought.

So Li Xi didn't want to hear Zhang Ling express her refusal to go with her.

So before Zhang Ling could speak, she said:
"Oh, Sister Zhang Ling, you heard it, didn't you? The old lady doesn't mind me going with you. We are a family. You wouldn't be so heartless as to refuse me from going with you to pay my respects to the elders."

"Li Xi, you..."

Zhang Ling thought that if she directly refused Li Xi to go with her.

That would be exactly what she wanted, as they would tell outsiders that she was an unkind person.

Mother Ning is the person closest to the old lady.

Then she would definitely leave a bad impression on the old lady.

If things go wrong, her situation in the group will become difficult in the future.

So she couldn't think of any suitable words to describe Li Xi for a moment.

So far!

Zhang Ling further confirmed that Li Xi's motives were not pure.

Because based on her understanding of Li Xi's nature.

Li Xi simply couldn't utter those scheming words just now.

There must be an expert behind the scenes directing this.

She glanced briefly at Wang Li who was standing beside Li Xi.

No matter how Wang Li looked at it, it seemed impossible.

It could only be the mysterious figure seen in Li Xi’s room during the Li family’s sacrifice.

So she agreed to let Li Xi follow her.

But in order to prevent Li Xi from doing anything bad, she specifically threatened him not to try to play tricks under her nose.

Even though Li Xi repeatedly said that he would never do that.

But her heart was still beating very nervously.

You have to know that Li Xi has never had any bottom line when it comes to dealing with Zhang Ling.

Such as:
The previous second, he repeatedly assured Zhang Ling that he would never cause trouble for her again.

The next second, Fan sensed that Zhang Ling was at a disadvantage and unable to take care of herself.

Li Xi took the opportunity to pounce on him like a hungry wolf and add insult to injury.

Li Xi obviously took the initiative and pulled Zhang Ling's hand.

He came to Mother Ning with great courtesy and respect and said:
"Grandma, I believe you have seen it. We are ready to pay respects to the elders at home. Let's go. Let's go quickly. Don't let the elders wait too long."

Zhang Ling expressed her resistance by just saying "no".

Unexpectedly, Li Xi interrupted her and asked:

"Sister-in-law Zhang Ling, why do you want the elders to wait for you a little longer?"

Zhang Ling naturally did not have such rebellious thoughts.

So he shook his head and said "no" and then immediately said "but".

But how could Li Xi let Zhang Ling express her meaning smoothly?

So he urged her, pulling and tugging:
"Since you don't want the elders to wait for you any longer, then why are you still standing there? Let's go. Hurry up and don't let the elders wait for us too long. It would be impolite and not nice."

Zhang Ling looked at Li Xi in surprise as he said the above words.

Because in Li Xi's eyes, removing the old patriarch from his position was considered disrespectful to elders.

As long as she doesn't speak.

That is the most polite state.

How is it possible that you can't say something like "disrespectful"?

impossible!
It was even more impossible for her to say those words to Ning's mother like a well-educated and wealthy lady.

Obviously, what is going to happen next is worth Li Xi's efforts to lower his usual arrogant attitude.

So what exactly is going on?
She had no idea for the time being.

Forget it.

Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and there is a high risk of death.

Zhang Ling has nothing to fear.

So she followed Mother Ning's lead and was dragged forward by Li Xi without resistance.

For a while.

They arrived at the door of a room that Zhang Ling had never been to before.

Just looking at the ordinary door.

This should be the office of a vice president or above.

When Ning's mother opened the door.

Zhang Ling opened her eyes wide in surprise at the unique interior decoration.

"Oh my God!"

She then heard Li Xi's even more exaggerated words.

It is said that even the relatively luxurious general manager's office is not as luxurious as this one.

Because even if you take out a seemingly ordinary ornament from the room.

I'm afraid it's enough to decorate a general manager's office.

Let’s not discuss whether Li Xi was pretending to be surprised?

Li Xi is the playboy of Wuchuan's number one family.

What good things haven’t you seen?

He even acted exaggeratedly and praised the furnishings in the room.

At least it shows that the room the old lady is in is indeed luxurious.

It also fully demonstrates the old lady's extraordinary status in the group.

I think this is probably the direct purpose for Li Xi to follow along.

That is, seek cooperation from the old lady.

The two powerful families joined forces to try to make the Li family's position in Wuchuan more stable and long-lasting.

To put it bluntly, this should be the ultimate goal of the old patriarch.

Li Xi just wanted to establish the image of an obedient and good boy in the eyes of the old patriarch.

(Note: This was an important condition for the old patriarch to get Li Xi out of prison again.)
So Li Xi had to obey in order to avoid going back to prison to suffer.

Of course, part of the reason lies with Zhang Ling.

But for Zhang Ling, Li Xi's doing this was just paralyzing her.

Maybe at some point in the future he will suddenly stab her in the back.

So that she can fully understand that the higher you are praised, the harder you fall.

Little did people know that Zhang Ling is no longer an unknown person who has not yet entered society.

Just a few nice words from others are enough to deceive her and make her forget herself.

impossible!
She is not a fool.

He falls in the same place several times in a row and still doesn't learn his lesson.

Although she was a little shocked by where the old lady was, she deeply remembered what her father Zhang Pengtian had taught her.

Not my own.

You must never have the thought of possessing it for yourself.

So she put on an attitude completely different from Li Xi's and slammed her hands in disgust a few times.

when!
After it was enough to attract Li Xi's attention and interest in her, he shook his head and continued:

"It's incredible. Li Xi, you are trying to please the owner of this room. Can you be any more shameless?"

Li Xi was not at all flustered when Zhang Ling exposed his thoughts.

Instead, he continued to move forward and speak flattering words to the old lady with a clear conscience.

If Ning’s mother hadn’t stepped forward in time to stop Li Xi.

And made it clear that the old lady was not used to having strangers get too close.

Li Xi then turned back and complained somewhat reluctantly:

"Zhang Ling, don't talk nonsense! I sincerely said a few good words to the old lady. You said I was shameless. Are you trying to say that the old lady doesn't deserve to bear what I said?"

Zhang Ling glanced at the change in the old lady's expression.

It was as if he didn't hear Li Xi's provocative words at all.

So she continued to accuse with confidence:
"Li Xi, you are at least a famous rich lady in Wuchuan. But your words and actions just now are clearly like Granny Liu who has never seen the world entering the Grand View Garden."

Li Xi was obviously angry when he heard this.

And tried to seek help from the old man.

So that I can say a few fair words for her.

unexpectedly!

But she saw the old lady looking at Zhang Ling with eyes full of love and smiling.

It clearly gives people the feeling that she is a relative who loves Zhang Ling the most.

That's because the old patriarch asked her to cause trouble.

She was not told the true relationship between the old lady in front of her and Zhang Ling.

She just lied to Li Xi and said that this was the old patriarch's last test for her.

As long as Li Xi can convince the old lady to form a strong alliance with their Li family.

Then the old patriarch would definitely unconditionally push Li Xi to the position of the head of the Li family.

As for Li Xi's greatest fear, it is imprisonment.

The old patriarch will definitely help Li Xi to completely resolve the issue.

After all, only Wuchuan, a decent, law-abiding citizen, is worthy of becoming the new patriarch of the Li family.

Li Xi didn't care how ridiculous the old patriarch's words were.

What she was most concerned about was that the old patriarch gave her enough power to let her become the new patriarch of the Li family.

Then, as she holds great power, she will definitely be able to easily crush Zhang Ling, whom she hates the most.

She even had the idea of ​​not crushing Zhang Ling easily.

So you can watch the refreshing scene of Zhang Ling struggling on the brink of life and death.

Actually.

Judging from the history of relationships between Li Xi and Zhang Ling.

It seemed that nothing had happened between them that would cause Li Xi a lifelong worry.

Zhang Ling really couldn't understand why Li Xi always deliberately targeted her?

Zhang Ling also expressed her doubts in person.

Asked in front of Li Xi.

But Li Xi's answer really surprised Zhang Ling.

Because Li Xi just said lightly that it was really nothing.

Li Xi simply saw that Zhang Ling was uncomfortable.

If there is a past life or this life.

Then Li Xi and Zhang Ling must have been mortal enemies in their previous lives.

As for Zhang Ling, she totally does not believe in the theory of past and present lives.

She prefers to believe that "human nature is evil".

No one taught Li Xi to be receptive to good advice since she was a child.

On the contrary, the old patriarch's doting fully magnified the evil in Li Xi's heart.

That is, any stranger who dared to flatter Li Xi when he met him.

Then Li Xi would definitely think that the other party was a rebellious person who deserved to die.

Therefore, after gaining the support of the old patriarch, Li Xi's attitude towards outsiders has always been "those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish."

In other words, over the years.

Li Xi had already punished those who had disobeyed her.

Not to make it obedient and become her personal slave.

Those who are unwilling to obey will disappear from this world.

However, Zhang Ling is an example of an individual with extremely strong vitality.

How could Li Xi tolerate this?

No.

That’s why we have this situation of a life-and-death struggle now.

At this moment.

Li Xi felt extremely angry when listening to Zhang Ling's ruthless accusations.

But in order to complete the instructions given by the old patriarch.

She suppressed her anger, stepped forward and continued with a smile:
"Oh, old lady, what do you mean? Please don't misunderstand me! This is all Zhang Ling's misunderstanding of me. Actually... Actually..."

As he spoke, Li Xi showed off his acting talent.

She sobbed and said to Zhang Ling:
"Sister-in-law, I know that I was young and immature before. I did many things that made you unhappy. But...but I have already apologized to you. You clearly forgave my immaturity."

Zhang Ling stared in disbelief and asked:
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did you ..."

Before Zhang Ling could finish her question.

Li Xi deliberately interrupted by crying louder and said:
"Sister-in-law, no matter what, you are the daughter-in-law of my Li family. You are my brother's daughter-in-law, my most respected sister-in-law. What you just said was so cruel! My heart..."

As she spoke, Li Xi covered her chest with one hand, her face full of pain making it impossible for her to continue.

This scene.

I'm afraid that any outsider who doesn't know the truth would feel sorry for Li Xi.

They would even make some humanitarian judgments about Zhang Ling's ruthlessness as a sister-in-law.

So Li Xi was secretly delighted and waited for the old lady to do as she intended.

Say something in her favor.

unexpectedly!

Li Xi looked at the old lady in surprise, seriously suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

It is a subconscious question:

"You...are you serious?"

The old lady glanced at Li Xi with a smile.

No words were spoken.

But to Li Xi, it seemed to say a lot.

That was a warning to Li Xi that his mischief would stop.

Otherwise, she would definitely order you to leave without mercy.

Li Xi was a little panicked about this.

What made her even more unbelievable was that Mother Ning had clearly said before that the old lady didn't like outsiders to get too close?

But the old lady took the initiative to approach Zhang Ling and held her hand intimately in front of her and said:
"Child, you've lost weight! I guess you've suffered a lot during these days when we weren't together. Come, come, come with me. I've prepared some food for you. Let's sit down and eat while we talk."

……

The two of them were interacting intimately.

They were just like a mother and daughter who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

And Li Xi, who has always been very thick-skinned.

Suddenly I felt that it was unnecessary for me to stay here any longer.

If it weren’t for Wang Li, who had been following Li Xi, reminding him.

She was probably still immersed in the shocking scene just now.

"No, I can't just give in so easily. In order to keep Zhang Ling firmly under her feet in the future, she must do something."

So she shamelessly followed him and thought about how to deal with the situation as she walked.
