Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Li Ze looked at the giant in front of him and secretly pondered his earlier remark, "President Bai."

It seems that this so-called Bai Qianyue is indeed not simple.

He's at least a general manager level person.

Li Ze didn't say anything, but gave the old man next to him a wink.

The old man immediately understood, took a step forward, and led several of his men to search and interrogate them.

After all, the boss's safety is the top priority, and we must eliminate any potential dangers posed by such a dangerous individual.

However, the giant did not resist or get angry.

He looked at Lao Yi, his face still bearing that honest smile, and waved his hand, saying:

"Brother, there's no need to be so nervous."

"I pose no threat to you; I'm just a guide."

As he spoke, he generously opened his oversized suit jacket and turned his trouser pockets inside out.

It was completely empty; there wasn't even a nail clipper, let alone a gun.

The old man looked him up and down, and based on his years of experience, confirmed that the man was indeed not hiding any weapons before nodding to Li Ze.

Seeing this, Li Ze stopped worrying and said to the giant:

"Alright, lead the way."

After saying that, Li Ze pulled Li Mengli and started to walk inside.

The eldest brother, accompanied by several bodyguards, followed closely behind, also intending to enter the elevator.

Just then, the giant stretched out an arm and blocked the old man and his companions.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li."

The giant looked at Li Ze, his tone polite but firm:

"Ms. Bai said she prefers quiet and doesn't like crowds."

"These bodyguards should just wait downstairs."

Li Ze frowned.

Is this going to isolate his guards? That won't do.

Even in China, he cannot put himself in a completely unguarded situation.

Li Ze pointed to the eldest brother beside him and bargained:

"I'm a person who doesn't feel safe; I don't feel at ease without bodyguards."

"Others can skip it, but he has to come with me."

The giant glanced at the expressionless man wearing sunglasses, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded:

"Can."

"But when we got to the door, he could only stay outside, and so could I."

"This is the bottom line."

Li Ze thought about it and decided that it was acceptable.

As long as Lao Yi is outside the door, he can rush in within a second if there is any commotion, so safety is guaranteed.

"make a deal."

Li Ze turned to Lao Yi and instructed him:

"Have someone seal off this floor, and have the rest of you guard all the exits on the 33rd floor."

"Yes, boss."

After making the arrangements, the group entered the spacious private elevator and headed straight for the 33rd floor.

Once the elevator doors open, you'll find yourself in a long corridor covered with a thick carpet.

The first man was very vigilant. After getting out of the elevator, he looked around to make sure there were no ambushes before nodding to Li Ze.

The giant walked to a large double mahogany door, knocked gently, and then unlocked it.

"Mr. Li, please."

Li Ze took a deep breath and led Li Mengli inside.

The giant and the old man stood guard at the entrance, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods.

The door closed slowly behind me.

Li Ze looked around the room.

This is an extremely luxurious presidential suite, decorated in a lavish and opulent style, yet without sacrificing elegance.

Several clearly feminine items were displayed in the room, and a faint scent of jasmine wafted through the air.

Li Ze was very familiar with this scent; eighteen years ago, Bai Qianyue's favorite perfume was this one.

It seems that the person I'm meeting today is indeed a woman.

But is it really the person from my memory?

Filled with questions, Li Ze led his daughter through the entryway and into the spacious living room.

As soon as it peeked out, a woman's voice floated over:

"You're finally here, Brother Li Ze."

"It's been eighteen years. Please have a seat."

Li Ze looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman was sitting on a European-style sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She wore a white, modified cheongsam dress, which was well-tailored and perfectly accentuated her figure.

She was wearing a vintage white lady's hat, with a thin white veil hanging down in front, partially obscuring her face.

Although it's not clear, I can still see the figure, the outline.

Li Ze took a closer look and immediately understood.

Although time has left some marks on her face, she is no longer as youthful and innocent as she was at eighteen.

But this is definitely Bai Qianyue, no doubt about it.

Li Ze pulled Li Mengli to sit down on the sofa opposite them.

Looking at the two cups of hot tea that had already been poured on the coffee table in front of him, Li Ze felt a mix of emotions.

This scene is too unreal.

It felt like traveling through time and space, or like a dream.

Seeing that Li Ze remained silent, Bai Qianyue picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and looked at him through her veil:

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Don't you want to see me?"

Li Ze opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Should I ask her where she's been for the past eighteen years? Or should I ask her why she sent the text message?

Just as Li Ze was hesitating, Li Mengli next to him couldn't sit still any longer.

This girl has a short temper and is very protective of her own.

She looked at the woman opposite her, who was dressed like a movie star, and asked directly:

"Hello, Aunt Bai."

"I am his daughter, Li Mengli."

"I want to ask you, why do you keep sending those weird text messages to my dad?"

"Could it be that you still have feelings for my dad?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ze was startled and quickly looked at his daughter.

Goodness, this girl is way too direct!

They really dare to ask anything!

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianyue put down her teacup.

Through her veil, she carefully examined Li Mengli, then smiled faintly, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger:

"Hehe, so you're Li Ze's daughter."

"No wonder she's so beautiful; you really do have your father's features in her eyes and brows."

Then, she changed the subject, her tone carrying a strange sense of superiority:

"However..."

"If your father had chosen me back then..."

"You now... no, I should say I'm the daughter your father and I had, so you should be even prettier than you."

Upon hearing this, Li Mengli's eyebrows immediately shot up.

What kind of talk is that?

Isn't this blatantly saying that she's not as pretty as the hypothetical daughter?

Moreover, her words implied that her mother's genes were not as good as this Aunt Bai's.

Objectively speaking, the woman in front of me is indeed very elegant and beautiful.

But isn't that incredibly rude?

Li Mengli pouted, looking unhappy, and was about to retort.

Li Ze quickly reached out and pressed down on his daughter's hand, signaling her not to act impulsively.

He looked at Bai Qianyue, his expression turning serious:

"Bai Qianyue, we're all adults now, let's not talk about those unrealistic assumptions."

"Mengli is my daughter, and my only daughter. In my heart, she is the most beautiful."

Li Ze didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he went straight to the point:

"Let's be frank."

"How did you get my phone number?"

"My number is encrypted; ordinary people can't find it at all."

Li Ze understood that since the other party had managed to get his number and accurately track his whereabouts, it was clear that they were serious.

The energy behind that is definitely not simple.

He came not to reminisce, nor to rekindle any old flame.

He just wanted to confirm whether this woman posed any threat to his family.

Bai Qianyue seemed somewhat disappointed after hearing Li Ze's words.

She sighed softly, picked up her teacup, and took another sip.

Then, she raised her head, her eyes, hidden behind the veil, staring intently at Li Ze.

His eyes held a hint of resentment, and a deep sense of unwillingness:

"Brother Li Ze".

"You've been divorced from her for eighteen years."

"You still can't forget her?"

"She wouldn't even bother catching up with me for her sake, and instead came right off the bat asking such a cold, impersonal question?"

"Am I really so insignificant in your heart?"
