Chapter 348 Serve me well, and I'll waive the ten million.

Late at night, Lin Xiaoli arrived at Club No. 9. Everyone was gathered at the door of a private room, and no one dared to go in.

All I could hear was the sound of glass shattering inside.

When Manager Dong saw Lin Xiaoli, it was like seeing a savior.

"Miss Lin, it's so good that you've come. Please take him away quickly."

Lin Xiaoli was a little scared, "Manager Dong, how much did President Sheng drink?"

“Four bottles.” He held up four fingers.

"Why don't you help him upstairs to his room? He didn't make a fuss that night when you were by his side."

Manager Dong said, wiping his sweat.

"I'll give it a try." After saying that, Lin Xiaoli mustered up her courage and pushed open the door.

Shen Sheng walked up to Manager Dong and asked, "You mean, when President Sheng got drunk one day, Xiao Li took care of him?"

"Assistant Shen, Young Master Sheng likes Miss Lin, otherwise he wouldn't have kept her here overnight." Manager Dong smiled and said mysteriously in a low voice, "The next day, when Miss Lin went out, her legs were so weak that she fell."

"You know what I mean." He patted his chest with his other hand, giving him a mischievous look.

Shen Sheng was startled and asked anxiously, "Are there still surveillance videos?"

"Yes, I'll take you to see it."

Manager Dong quickly took Shen Sheng to the monitoring room.

As soon as the door opened, another wine glass was smashed at me.

"Bang."

"Ah!" Lin Xiaoli was so startled that she covered her ears and shrank back.

When Sheng Tingxiao saw it was her, his bloodshot eyes blazed with rage. "Get out."

Lin Xiaoli didn't leave. Carefully avoiding the shards of glass on the ground, she slowly walked to his side.

"Mr. Sheng, let me take you home." She reached out to help him, but he pushed her away, and Lin Xiaoli cried out in surprise.

Just as she was about to fall onto the broken glass, Sheng Tingxiao nimbly reached out and pulled her back into his arms.

Lin Xiaoli was still in shock, her heart pounding wildly.

Sheng Tingxiao held her, smelling her faint fragrance, and was surprisingly calm.

He smelled strongly of alcohol; he was clearly drunk.

Lin Xiaoli snapped out of her daze and quickly left his embrace.

"Mr. Sheng, I'll take you home. Would you like to go back to the Sheng family home or to Imperial View?" she asked softly, her voice gentle as water.

“I’m not going anywhere.” His tone was icy.

“With you here, the club can’t operate.” Lin Xiaoli reached out to help him up again, her voice coaxing, “How about I help you to your room upstairs?”

Sheng Tingxiao did not refuse again and let her help him walk out.

But there were too many shards of glass on the ground, and she was hesitant to step on them. Suddenly, she felt a lightness in her body.

Sheng Tingxiao carried her and strode out, leaving Lin Xiaoli somewhat bewildered.

So... who is the one who is drunk?

Sheng Tingxiao went out the door, but didn't put her down. He carried her directly upstairs to the long private room.

When he arrived at the room, he took out his room card, swiped it, and the door opened.

Manager Dong and Shen Sheng, who were watching the surveillance footage, were startled.

"I told you so, didn't I? Young Master Sheng really likes Miss Lin. It's another beautiful night."

Shen Sheng didn't dare to leave and stayed in the monitoring room. At this moment, a thought suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be... that the child in Xiao Li's belly is President Sheng's?

Oh dear... this is terrible!

He needs to investigate this thoroughly.

Sheng Tingxiao opened the door and threw Lin Xiaoli onto the big bed. Lin Xiaoli bounced up and rolled around, almost falling to the ground.

He casually took off his coat and threw it aside.

Startled, Lin Xiaoli quickly scrambled to her feet. "President Sheng, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"I'm going back now."

Sheng Tingxiao's tall figure blocked her way as he slowly approached her. She instinctively backed away until she hit the wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

Sheng Tingxiao gently pinched her chin and then kissed her lips.

His kiss was still burning hot, carrying a domineering punishment, leaving Lin Xiaoli stunned.

What is he going to do?

Doesn't he hate her?

"President Sheng..." She flinched, but his lips were sealed by hers again.

His large hands were kneading her... as if he wanted to crush her.

Lin Xiaoli cried out in pain, and Sheng Tingxiao withdrew his strength, becoming a little gentler.

She tried to push him away with one hand, but couldn't budge him at all. "President Sheng, please... please don't do this."

"Xiao Li, I want you." His voice was hoarse, his forehead pressed against hers; he really wanted her.

Lin Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. He wasn't drunk; he was perfectly sober.

They are both conscious. If this happens, what does it mean?

"President Sheng, I...I...don't want to date, and I don't want to get married, I...don't want to."

She stammered slightly, not daring to look at his face.

"You still like that guy surnamed Zhou, don't you? Do you not want to be with me, or do you not want to be with me?" Sheng Tingxiao grabbed her chin again.

His eyes were filled with anger, and this time he used a lot of force, which hurt her a little.

"Mr. Sheng, I am not worthy of you." She managed to squeeze out the words, "Please let me go."

He just wanted her, not liked her.

So his meaning is quite clear: he just wants that kind of relationship.

"Help me take off my clothes and serve me, just like you served him." Sheng Tingxiao coldly gave the order, "Once I'm satisfied, I'll naturally let you go."

He's humiliating her again!

"Sheng Tingxiao, do you really want to do this?" Lin Xiaoli looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

"What are you afraid of? It's not like it's your first time." He added fuel to the fire.

"But I don't want to."

"Serve me well, and I'll waive the ten million." He continued to humiliate her.

Lin Xiaoli took a deep breath, her hands trembling as she reached out to unbutton his shirt. She slowly undid it with one hand, tears streaming down her face.

If he really wants it, she will give it to him.

But the way he humiliated her was heartbreaking.

With his buttons undone, his impressive eight-pack abs were revealed. This was the second time she had seen his body.

Kiss me.

She stood on tiptoe to kiss him, her lips wet with moisture. She kissed him gently, as if nibbling... It felt so unfamiliar.

Seeing that she was crying, Sheng Tingxiao suddenly pushed her away.

"Lin Xiaoli, do you think you're worth ten million?"

He slammed the door and stormed out in anger.

Lin Xiaoli collapsed, sobbing uncontrollably as she sat down on the carpet...

He's a complete bastard.

She no longer wanted to love him.

Seeing President Sheng run out, Shen Sheng quickly left the monitoring room and ran out.

...

Lin Xiaoli dragged her tired body back to the rented room, where the clock on the wall already pointed to two in the morning.

The next day, she returned to the company, and the president's office was empty.

Sheng Tingxiao is not here.

He took Shen Sheng with him on a business trip.

The air pressure on the private jet was terrifyingly low.

Sheng Tingxiao had an icy expression and exuded an aura of "keep away," which frightened Shen Sheng so much that he didn't dare to breathe.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Sheng finally mustered up his courage and cautiously began to speak.

"President Sheng, do you remember what happened with Xiao Li at Club No. 9 last time?"

Sheng Tingxiao's eyes instantly turned cold, and his tone was devoid of any warmth.

"I have nothing to do with her, so don't mention her in front of me."

"yes."

Shen Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

Nothing happened?

Did he guess wrong?

Sheng Tingxiao irritably loosened his tie, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"If you have time, try to persuade her to go to the hospital and have the surgery on that arm bone."

His tone was so harsh it could leave a dent: "If this drags on any longer, her hand will be ruined."

“Yes. I will persuade her.” Shen Sheng immediately agreed.

Sheng Tingxiao also felt that he had gone a bit too far last night.

But he just couldn't control himself.

He didn't know what to do with that woman.

This girl is more stubborn than a donkey; not even eight horses could pull her back.

Three days later, Sheng Tingxiao and Shen Sheng finally returned from their business trip.

At 2 p.m., Shen Sheng slipped into the president's office and placed an exquisite paper bag on Lin Xiaoli's desk.

"Here are some pastries I brought back for you from Rongcheng. Try them."

Wow, Sheng-ge, you're so great!

Lin Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and she happily opened a beautifully packaged box of osmanthus cakes, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.

The fragrance of osmanthus instantly filled my mouth.

"It's delicious."

"Xiao Li, this child isn't Zhou Yu's, it's President Sheng's, right?"

Shen Sheng seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, suddenly asked a question.

Lin Xiaoli froze, all color draining from her face, her expression one of utter shock.

Judging from her expression, Shen Sheng already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

He decided to add fuel to the fire.

“I checked the club’s security footage. One night, President Sheng got drunk, and you went into his room with him and spent the night with him. At that time, you weren’t in the president’s office yet.”

He pressed her relentlessly, trying to coax her into speaking.

Lin Xiaoli's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

She put down the pastry she had just taken a bite of, her voice trembling.

"Brother Sheng, can you keep this a secret for me?"

She looked up, her eyes filled with pleading.

“I know I’m not good enough for him, and... he found a nice girl last week, and I don’t want to put him in a difficult position.”

Hold!

Shen Sheng cursed inwardly.

It turns out that the child in her belly really is President Sheng's.

He finally managed to trick them out of it.

Shen Sheng was so excited that his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his throat, and his hands were trembling.

But he forcibly suppressed his inner elation and put on a serious expression.

"So, you'd rather lose your own arm than hurt this child."

He stared into her eyes and asked, word by word.

"You...like him, don't you?"

She didn't dare answer the question directly because she felt unworthy of liking him.

"The child is innocent."

Lin Xiaoli's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.

"He is more important than one of my hands..."

"Are you really not going to tell President Sheng? If he knew, he would help you find a way." Shen Sheng was getting anxious.

“In his eyes, I am no longer pure. He hates me now, and he doesn’t want this child.”

Lin Xiaoli's voice sank to the bottom, filled with despair.

"Brother Sheng, please, please keep this a secret for me, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Shen Sheng made a zipper gesture over his mouth, then tore off a tissue and handed it to her.

Lin Xiaoli took the tissue and awkwardly wiped away the tears that kept flowing.

Just then, Sheng Tingxiao strode in.

His tall figure exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Startled, Lin Xiaoli quickly stood up and hastily wiped her face. "Good afternoon, President Sheng."

Sheng Tingxiao's deep gaze swept over the two of them, but he said nothing and walked into his office expressionlessly.

Did she just cry again?

Why?

Half an hour later, Sheng Tingxiao came out of the office.

"Go to Shengchuang Financial and hold a shareholders' meeting. You come with me."

"good."

Lin Xiaoli quickly tidied up her notebook, grabbed her phone and bag, and hurried after him.

The two stepped into the private elevator one after the other.

The elevator doors closed, and in the cramped space, no one mentioned what happened that night.

The silence was terrifying.

Suddenly, Sheng Tingxiao took out a small, exquisite box from his suit pocket and stuffed it directly into her hand.

"Here, take this. You can throw it away if you don't like it."

He still spoke in that arrogant tone, not even glancing at her.

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Sheng. I like it very much."

Lin Xiaoli looked surprised, quickly clutched the box in her hand, and replied politely.

The man's deep voice carried a hint of mockery.

"You said you liked it without even looking at it?"

"If it's a gift from President Sheng, it must be something good. I... naturally I'll like it." She forced a smile and answered reasonably politely.

Sheng Tingxiao didn't say anything more.

The elevator arrived at the first floor, where the car was already waiting at the door.

Lin Xiaoli quickly ran a few steps and opened the back door for him.

He bent down and got into the car, then she closed the door and sat in the passenger seat herself.

The car drove smoothly toward Shengchuang Financial.

Upon entering the luxurious conference room, seven or eight people were already seated inside, all dressed in suits and exuding an extraordinary aura.

Sitting in the main seat was an extremely handsome man, Bai Yu. Upon seeing Sheng Tingxiao, he immediately stood up.

Everyone in the conference room stood up in unison.

Applause erupted.

Sheng Tingxiao sat down in a seat next to him, his posture casual.

"Please have a seat, everyone."

Bai Yu began to chair the meeting, and Lin Xiaoli then learned that Sheng Tingxiao was also one of the founders of Shengchuang Financial, with the same shareholding as Bai Yu.

My God, that's terrifying.

Lin Xiaoli and Yang Fan sat behind the two big shots respectively.

The shareholders' meeting summarized the year's performance and proposed several new projects, which were quickly passed unanimously.

An hour and a half later, the meeting finally ended.

Yang Fan led Lin Xiaoli to the tea room to replenish their energy, while Bai Yu chatted with Sheng Tingxiao in the office.

"It's rare to see you so interested in a woman. If you really like her, go for it." Bai Yu handed him a cigarette.

"She's pregnant with someone else's child, and you want me to go after her? What are you up to?" Sheng Tingxiao rolled his eyes at him, took the cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

His brows furrowed into a knot whenever this was mentioned.

"Then why bother yourself? With your status and wealth, countless socialites and ladies are lining up for you." Bai Yu smiled. "Why give up the whole forest for a single flower?"

"Who was it that risked their life for my sister?"

Sheng Tingxiao retorted directly, saying that this man was just talking without understanding the situation.

“It is fate. We are destined to be together. She is destined to be mine.” Bai Yu said matter-of-factly. “However, I think Miss Lin is not bad either. If she falls in love with you, she will definitely give up this child.”

He added, "A woman will only have children for the man she loves."

Sheng Tingxiao gritted his teeth, "I don't like women who don't respect themselves."

Bai Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

That stubborn guy looks at people with such murderous intent that he seems ready to devour them whole, yet he still dares to say he doesn't like them.

Shortly after, Sheng Tingxiao walked out of the office.

Lin Xiaoli quickly put down the small cake in her hand and stood up from her chair.

He walked straight up to her, and before she could react, he reached out his long, slender fingers and gently wiped away a bit of cream from the corner of her lips.

The warm touch on her fingertips made Lin Xiaoli's face flush instantly, turning from white to red, burning intensely.

"ah."

She exclaimed in surprise, quickly grabbed a tissue, wiped her mouth haphazardly, and then handed him a clean one.

Bai Yu stood not far away watching this scene; as an outsider, he had a clearer perspective.

Both of them are already deeply involved and beyond saving.

In the evening, the entire shareholders' meeting was held for a dinner, which was held in the largest private room at Fanxing.

Lin Xiaoli wanted to leave, but Sheng Tingxiao stopped him and made him sit next to him. The shareholders took turns toasting him, and he accepted every toast.

She was anxious but dared not help by drinking more alcohol.

Because she has to be responsible for the baby in her belly.

She ate a few bites of food absentmindedly, her eyes becoming unfocused as she looked at him.

When the dinner ended, Sheng Tingxiao had drunk too much again, and this time he seemed genuinely drunk.

Bai Yu helped him to the hotel entrance, where a familiar Maybach pulled up and carefully helped him into the back seat.

"Miss Lin, please take him home. Don't let him go back to the Sheng family, so as not to disturb Chairman Sheng," Bai Yu earnestly instructed.

"Yes, Mr. Bai, please rest assured."

Lin Xiaoli nodded and got into the passenger seat.

Lin Xiaoli and the driver helped him get home with difficulty. She put him on the sofa and caught her breath.

He went to the kitchen and made a cup of honey water, and he even put the bottle of honey in the cabinet below.

"Mr. Sheng, would you like some honey water?" She held the water to his lips.

But he kept his eyes closed and didn't move at all, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Then she reached out to pull him up, but she couldn't move him with one hand at all, so she had to turn around and go to his room to get a thin blanket.

She had just received the blanket when suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, startling her.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." His hoarse voice rang in her ear.

He turned his head, kissed her earlobe, and gently licked it a few times.

Lin Xiaoli's whole body stiffened, and she dared not move...
