When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Bai Qingruan sensed something was wrong: "That's true. Not only did Butler Wang help Lin Zhixia for no reason, but the key question is where he got the video from."

"I remember he knew absolutely nothing about these electronic products."

Suddenly, Bai Qingruan seemed to realize something, her pupils widened abruptly, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be my brother-in-law?!"

Bai Muqing rolled her eyes at her: "Are you afraid that the entire Li family won't hear you?"

Bai Qingruan then lowered her voice: "Sister, has this brother-in-law been bewitched by Lin Zhixia? How much has Lin Zhixia deceived him? He doesn't want to be a proper young master of the Li family, but instead he's doing the work of those low-level people."

"If it were me, I would definitely take revenge on Lin Zhixia."

Bai Muqing's eyes were somewhat complicated, yet they also revealed a ruthless streak, like a snake flicking its tongue.

"Regardless of whether A-Yuan likes Lin Zhixia or not, this woman must be dealt with."

Otherwise, it would pose a great risk to her.

Bai Qingruan was already somewhat helpless regarding Lin Zhixia's situation: "If it really is my brother-in-law protecting her behind the scenes, how can we make a move?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Bai Muqing's eyes as she leaned close to Bai Qingruan's ear and told her her plan.

After hearing this, a hint of secret satisfaction flashed across Bai Qingruan's eyes.

"Sister, your idea is brilliant! It's a win-win situation, and you can do me a favor too."

"Let's arrange to meet him sometime." Bai Muqing's lips curled slightly.

……

Lin Zhixia had just finished taking care of the young master during the day and returned to the kitchen to get a drink of water when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced down and saw it was Xu Yanzhou.

She slid the answer button: "Why are you calling me so late?"

"Is Ah Yuan misunderstanding something? Has he made things difficult for you? If needed, I can explain it to him."

"No need, he didn't do anything to me."

Although Lin Zhixia seemed fine on the surface, Xu Yanzhou could still detect a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Xu Yanzhou sighed: "Zhixia, why don't we leave? I don't think you're happy in the Li family."

"Li Chengyuan wasn't happy when he was with me before."

Being alone with myself means endless work and suffocating online loans.

We live frugally every month, carefully calculating every penny we spend.

Xu Yanzhou's voice was a little hoarse: "Are you feeling sorry for him?"

"No, it's just that I feel I've committed many sins in the past and harmed others, which is why Li Chengyuan is so hostile towards me now."

Lin Zhixia blames all the unfair treatment she is currently suffering on her past mistreatment of Li Chengyuan.

People say you reap what you sow, and she's probably reaping the consequences of her actions now.

Xu Yanzhou, however, did not think so, and there was a saying he thought was very good.

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

"It's not your fault, but there's a problem I don't know if I should tell you."

Xu Yanzhou's voice suddenly turned serious.

"What?"

"I found out here that your parents don't seem to have passed away. They're just in another place. They were rescued by kind people after the accident."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia almost thought she had misheard, and her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.

"What...what did you say? My parents aren't dead? They're really still alive?"

"I've also learned some of the information, but if you're willing, I can help you contact them so you can reunite and live your own lives."

Lin Zhixia felt somewhat troubled when she thought about her current situation.

"But I can't leave the Li family now. Li Chengyuan won't let me go."

She was discussing this matter with Xu Yanzhou in the kitchen when, unbeknownst to her, Li Chengyuan, who was standing at the door, overheard them. He had been looking at documents and was about to come out to make a cup of coffee.

Then I heard Lin Zhixia talking to Xu Yanzhou about leaving.

His hand holding the cup suddenly tightened, his bony ring turned white, and his jawline stretched into a straight line.

She really wanted to leave this place with Xu Yanzhou.

She says she feels sorry for herself, but all she can think about is how to escape from him. Lin Zhixia, are you not even willing to make amends?

Li Chengyuan placed the cup on the table, turned around and went back to his room. He lowered his head and dialed the number of his old friend Zhou Zean.

"What's wrong, A-Yuan?"

"Send me the address of the bar tonight," he said coldly.

Zhou Ze'an was a little annoyed: "Didn't you just say you weren't coming? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to send it or not?"

"Send it, send it, send it to your phone." Zhou Ze'an knew this young master's temper all too well; he was like a firecracker, ready to explode in just a few words.

However, his temper is much better now than before.

Li Chengyuan hung up the phone without a word, picked up his coat from the back of the chair, and prepared to leave.

Just as he was passing by the kitchen, he bumped into Lin Zhixia who was coming out. The two almost collided. When Lin Zhixia saw that Li Chengyuan's face was ashen, she froze and her whole body tensed up visibly.

"Mr. Li, are you... are you going out?"

"Yeah, I won't be home for dinner tonight."

Li Chengyuan replied coldly and slammed the door shut.

The two acted like strangers, a feeling Lin Zhixia disliked intensely.

But she knew that this situation was not something she could change on her own.

Lin Zhixia took the water glass back to her room. Before going to bed that night, she checked on the young master again to make sure he wasn't crying or fussing before she felt at ease.

In her drowsy state, she heard her phone vibrate. Because she had been taking care of her child lately, she was always easily startled awake.

In the past, she might have needed a phone ringtone to wake her up, but now even a vibration is enough to wake her up quickly.

Although he was awake, his consciousness was still somewhat hazy, and he vaguely saw the three words "Li Chengyuan" flashing on the screen.

She frowned slightly. Hadn't he gone out?

Why call yourself at this time?

Since she's not his girlfriend now, he doesn't need to call and report to her what he's doing.

In truth, Lin Zhixia didn't want to hear Li Chengyuan's sarcastic remarks either; they made her feel really uncomfortable.

Lin Zhixia didn't answer, and put her phone aside to continue sleeping.

Soon, a second call came in. Lin Zhixia glanced at it and saw that it was from an unknown number.

She slid the answer button, her voice still slightly sleepy: "Who is this?"

"Miss Lin, I'm Zhou Ze'an, a friend of A Yuan. A Yuan has had too much to drink. Could you come to Nightfall Bar and pick him up?"

Zhou Ze'an, Lin Zhixia had an impression of this person. In the original work, because the original owner and Li Chengyuan were not on good terms in the past, Li Chengyuan's friends also targeted the original owner.

The two groups were irreconcilable enemies, no wonder she felt awkward when she heard the name Miss Lin on the phone.
