Chapter 165 "Let Pei Xiangwan feel the pain for you."

Faced with Li Jiayi's crazy behavior, Ling Ru was unable to get used to it, so she sat down reluctantly. The only light source was hanging above her seat.

"What happened? You don't look well." Lingru asked.

The person who had let the tea drip onto the wooden floor indifferently now reacted, the chair creaked, and words floated out from the darkness.

"I'm in so much pain now, even more so than before I tasted Jiang Shiyuan. I feel like I'm different from everyone else. It's like Li Hongwei's slap is constantly slapping me. My cheek is still burning with pain."

Suddenly she burst into laughter. "Why is no one like me? Why is no one in the same pain as me? I really want everyone to feel the same pain as me. Have I ever told you that people scream differently when facing different levels of fear?"

Lingru rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: How could I not know that you are crazy.

She pretended to sympathize and said, "It's not a good feeling. Let Pei Xiangwan feel the pain for you. Don't you think the world is unfair?"

"Isn't it unfair?" Li Jiayi repeated.

"It's so unfair. Some people are born with everything good. They win everyone's love and are welcomed wherever they go. But we are like annoying sewer rats. We can't get any love and can only be manipulated by others to vent their anger. What can we gain?"

The words coming out of that seemingly airtight mask were so clear.

At this moment, Lingru wanted to take advantage of Li Jiayi's grief and self-doubt to brainwash him and make him obey her orders completely, so that it would be worth taking the risk to run out in the middle of the night.

She continued, "If we want to gain more, we have to be the king and enjoy it all alone. That incident wasn't your fault. Li Weihong was out, so someone took the opportunity to replace your things. You were all at fault, but Li Weihong put it all on you."

The light was not as bright as before, and it flickered from time to time, as if it didn't want to work anymore.

Ling Ru whispered, "Didn't you say you wanted to get rid of Li Weihong? Didn't you say I could help you? I predicted that you could get rid of him. Your life will be better if you get rid of him. Don't doubt that if you want something, you have to do whatever it takes, regardless of the word 'love'."

Li Jiayi had listened, but faced with the power, she hesitated. "I wanted to get rid of him. Although I know he did many things, including poisoning his wife and daughter, just to get all the property in his family, I have been looking for him for a long time. Li Weihong is too clean. He knows how to grasp the public image, playing the role of a husband who poisoned his wife to madness and did not abandon her. His plan is too perfect."

She was worried, but Lingru told her, "Then let's start with the image he is proud of."

…

After a sweet while with Pei Xiangwan, Jiang Shiyuan finally remembered his job. The employees were surprised to see their boss whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and they dared to speak only after the boss left.

"Boss, why do you look so good again? Did you get a beauty treatment?"

"She's not the boss, but she's young and beautiful. Beauty is just maintenance. The most important point is that Nuwa is partial to her."

"The boss is incredibly busy, juggling work and ballet."

Jiang Shiyuan returned to the office without knowing anything about the employees' discussion. She listened to Chen Cheng's report with her hands folded.

Jiang Shiyuan raised his hand to signal Chen Cheng to pause, and Chen Cheng stopped and continued, "What's wrong, boss?"

"So I've been to three banquets recently? Before, I could have turned them down or you could have gone in my place."

Chen Cheng smirked and said, "These three events are not allowed. They are important and you must be present. I know that your love life is sweet, but work and love should be separated."

Jiang Shiyuan said coldly, "Do you need to tell me, Chen Cheng? If you were in love, you might be like this too."

"No! Work is work, and love is love, so they should be kept separate." Chen Cheng said firmly.

"That's about it, boss." She walked a few steps and then remembered something, turned around and looked at Jiang Shiyuan and said.

"And boss, the people we've placed in the Li family said that Li Jiayi has recently taken action. It seems he's planning to eliminate Li Weihong."

Jiang Shiyuan had anticipated that Li Jiayi's crazy ambition would lead to such a move, which saved her the trouble. "Let's see how far Li Jiayi can go first. If it's not enough, we can add fuel to the fire."

"Okay, boss."

Chen Cheng left the office and leaned against the white wall, whispering, "If a person is beautiful but has an evil heart, the contrast will catch the god."

…

The heat from the sun made people walking below feel like they were in a steam room, with beads of sweat on everyone's forehead.

Xia Li was almost suffocating in such hot weather behind Chen Cheng, and she was only able to hold on by having a big meal as Chen Cheng suggested.

It was not until they arrived at the store door that Xia Li fainted at the name of the store.

"Bean curd curry? Bro, tell me, you've taken the wrong path, right?" Xia Li said in disbelief.

Chen Cheng shook his head and said firmly, "No, no, no, that's right. Come in quickly. You said it's hot, but you're still standing outside. Be careful not to get sunburned."

Since everyone was leaving, Xia Li had no choice but to follow Chen Cheng. Entering the store refreshed Xia Li's mind. The store was not as hot as he had imagined. It was quite cool because of the air conditioning. The environment was also very clean. As for the smell, it was a big unknown.

"Boss, I'm here again. I want chicken cutlet curry again."

The boss responded enthusiastically, “Okay.”

Xia Li looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Me too, chicken cutlet curry. Do you have an iced Coke? Boss, I'm too hot."

"Yes, we have Coke. Please wait for two servings of chicken curry." The boss went to the freezer to get the Coke.

Xia Li took it and said, "Thank you."

The store is designed so that customers can clearly see the entire process of the boss making the food in front of them. The boss is preparing the necessary ingredients, and Xia Li asked Chen Cheng.

"Those people exploded today, saying our boss is beautiful. Hasn't she always been beautiful? Why are they acting like they've never seen the world?"

Chen Cheng thought for a few seconds and replied, "Maybe the boss's dressing style has changed. She's even more beautiful now. In this age where looks are everything, it's normal. Who wouldn't be excited to see a beautiful woman?"

"The main reason is that I didn't see it." Xia Li said regretfully, "Describe it to me."

Chen Cheng was puzzled and said, "What do you want to do? What do you want to fantasize about? There is no shortage of boss wives for bosses like you. Your idea is too dangerous. It's better to kill it as soon as possible."

Xia Lida was speechless and shouted, "Are you stupid? I'm just curious. I know my own weight. I don't have any intention of clinging to rich women. I'm a down-to-earth person and want to rely on myself."

"Well, that's a good idea. We must keep it up."

"you**"

"Xia Li's output of national quintessence is remarkable." Chen Cheng teased with a smile.

While the two were bickering, two servings of curry rice were already ready.

"Please take your time, two of you."

"Thanks."

"Thanks."

They thanked him in unison. Xia Li couldn't eat the steaming curry rice that had just been cooked, so she took a few sips of the Coke beside her.

"You're looking for me suddenly, are you in a bad mood?"

When asked, Chen Cheng didn't intend to hide it and said directly, "The fight between the two villains has been bothering me lately. I don't know whether to give up or not. It's strange that one moment I feel hopeless and the next I feel hopeful. Ling Wan's words and behavior are too strange."
