Chapter 292
Xia Ruoan did not return to school, but went straight to the company to find Leng Zexi.
After getting off the car, she told the driver and bodyguard to leave first, and said that she would return with Leng Zexi later and pick up the children from school at that time.
However, what she didn't expect was that she was stopped as soon as she reached the elevator door.
A woman in a wrap skirt quickly stepped forward, blocked Xia Ruoan's way, and said in a stiff tone: "This is our president's private elevator."
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment? You can't just barge in like this!"
As she spoke, the woman looked Xia Ruoan up and down with a critical gaze. When her sight fell on Xia Ruoan's face and temperament, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, she also revealed a little bit of self-abasement.
At this moment, the woman deliberately straightened her chest, trying to show off her carefully dressed figure. Unfortunately, her bare chest and back, as well as her heavy makeup, not only failed to add any charm, but instead made her look a little vulgar.
In contrast, Xia Ruoan wore a simple purple dress, and exuded an innate elegance in her every move, like a fairy who was not of this world, which was eye-catching.
This scene made the woman involuntarily think of a saying - in the face of true elegance, everything pales in comparison.
"Ma'am, you are not an employee of our company. You cannot go upstairs without an appointment in advance. Please leave as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I will call security." The woman said to Xia Ruoan expressionlessly, her tone cold and firm.
"I really don't know where this woman came from. She actually wanted to get close to our president. She didn't even look in the mirror to see if she has the capital!"
Another woman standing nearby sneered with disdain on her face.
"That's right. Our president likes our gentle, beautiful and capable manager Hu. It would be better for her to give up and stay away from him as soon as possible." Another person echoed the laughter.
At this time, a woman who was following Hu Li also took the opportunity to come forward, looking at Xia Ruo'an with a sarcastic look, and said in a gloomy tone: "Xiao Mei, don't talk nonsense. Although the president has not publicly acknowledged the identity of Manager Hu, everyone knows it in their hearts."
After saying this, she did not forget to glance at Xia Ruoan, as if demonstrating to her.
However, in the face of everyone's sarcasm, Hu Li just pretended to be reserved and gently scolded: "Xiao Mei, don't talk nonsense. The president doesn't want others to know about our relationship for the time being. You mustn't cause trouble for me."
Having said that, her smug look clearly showed off.
Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel confused and embarrassed. Was it really because she came in too hasty that these people failed to recognize her?
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone mention the president.
"The president you are talking about...is it Leng Zexi?" Xia Ruo'an was surprised, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
Just this morning, she had firmly believed that Leng Zexi would never betray her, and was convinced that their relationship was as solid as a rock.
But the scene before her opened her eyes.
As a result, there is actually a mistress who is so ignorant of her own life that she dares to openly provoke her in front of her, and even suspects that she is a mistress!
Hu Li sneered with contempt, "You don't even know this? Who else could our president be other than the famous Mr. Leng Zexi?"
Xia Ruo'an was not angered by the other party's arrogant attitude. She just looked at them calmly and asked slowly, "Then according to what you said, why have I never heard that he has a cocktail party today?"
Hearing this, Hu Li's smile became even more wanton, and he said with disdain: "Who do you think you are? What is your relationship with our president? Why do you think you should know these things?"
"Let me tell you, I have reserved a five-star luxury hotel suite according to the order given by the president himself!"
"Look at you again, you look like a child, you must be a college student. You don't study hard, and all you do is try to get close to the rich and powerful and be supported by others. You are wasting your time!"
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an not only did not back down, but instead fought back unceremoniously: "Really? In my opinion, the one who really wants to be supported by President Leng seems to be you!"
When Hu Li heard this, he was immediately furious and raised his hand as if to slap Xia Ruoan.
However, Xia Ruo'an was not afraid at all. He stood firmly in place, staring at the other person coldly, and continued: "What? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?"
"Don't forget, Leng Zexi has already married and started a family, and you are not his wife! You only want to be with him, don't you want to be the third party who destroys other people's families?"
"Who said I was a mistress! The one who is not loved is considered the third party!"
"Now the president's heart and eyes are full of me. His so-called wife has long fallen out of favor. She is just a woman who had the opportunity to climb to a high position by giving birth to three sons!"
Hu Li put his hands on his hips and said angrily.
"Isn't it just three sons? What's the big deal! Is she the only one who can give birth to children?" Hu Li curled his lips in disdain.
In fact, Hu Li had asked around for information about the president's wife before, but gained very little.
Since the entire company was afraid to talk about the president's wife, no one dared to discuss the matter too much.
Therefore, she only knew that this lady was from the Xia family, was the daughter of the Xia Group, and had given birth to three sons for the president.
Apart from this, almost no other information is known.
However, based on Hu Li's own analysis and judgment, she firmly believed that all this showed that the president did not love his wife at all, and the marriage between the two was only maintained reluctantly because of business marriage and the existence of children.
Especially today, she unexpectedly received a notice inviting her to an important cocktail party.
You know, this cocktail party is not an ordinary occasion, its standards are quite high, and the president will definitely attend in person.
In this case, Hu Li naturally thought that the president must have specially arranged for her to be the dance partner.
After all, in the public relations department, everyone knows that Hu Li is a recognized beauty!
Since the president specifically asked her to attend, doesn't that mean that the president has developed feelings for her and is interested in her?
Thinking of this, Hu Li couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Really? I didn't know my husband would like you." Xia Ruoan raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a sneer.
But he did not argue or get entangled with the arrogant woman in front of him.
She took out her cell phone from her bag and dialed Leng Zexi's number without hesitation.
"What do you mean?" Hu Li was shocked when she heard Xia Ruoan say the word "husband".
Could it be that this seemingly ordinary woman was actually the wife of the CEO? How could this be possible!
I heard from Miss Xia before that the president's wife grew up in a remote small county town, and she studied some plant science. To put it bluntly, she is just a vegetable grower, and maybe she is a native country person.
But the Xia Ruoan in front of him, both in appearance and temperament, is completely different.
Thinking of this, Hu Li's originally confident expression began to waver.
However, when she saw Xia Ruoan actually pick up the phone and make a call, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Isn't it said that the president's wife is guilty and inferior and doesn't dare to come to the company? Is this true?
Maybe... maybe she just wanted to scare herself.
Just as Hu Li was daydreaming, the woman called Little Beauty beside him was also feeling anxious and uneasy.
On the other side, Xia Ruoan had already dialed Leng Zexi's number, but after waiting for a long time, the other party still didn't answer.
Was he so busy working that he didn't notice the phone call, or was there something else going on?
Xia Ruoan's hand holding the phone unconsciously tightened, her brows slightly furrowed, and she thought secretly in her heart.
Seeing this, Hu Li immediately showed a smug smile on his face and taunted, "Why don't you fight? Keep fighting! Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you can't pretend anymore!"
"How dare you call yourself the president's wife? Don't dream! The so-called president's wife is nothing but a country bumpkin and a yellow-faced woman from the countryside!"
"How could she have the courage to show up in our company!" Hu Li glanced at the woman in front of him with disdain, a sneer of contempt on his lips, and sneered sarcastically.
When Xia Ruoan heard this, she was startled at first, and then her mind suddenly flashed with what Leng Zexi had said to her: In order to ensure her safety and privacy, he deliberately ordered that her true identity as the president's wife be concealed, so except for those close to her, almost no one knew her identity.
On weekdays, she seldom left the house. Even when she went out occasionally, she was either accompanied by a well-trained bodyguard or Leng Zexi himself. Therefore, she had never encountered a situation like today.
If it weren't for today's sudden farce, she would probably never know that in the eyes of the outside world, she was portrayed as such a terrible image - a haggard, yellow-faced woman!
"Get out of here right now! I've seen many women like you who are shameless, pretend to be innocent, and try to seduce our CEO!"
Hu Li widened his eyes and stared at Xia Ruoan fiercely, continuing to yell incessantly, while stretching out a hand as if to forcibly drag the person in front of him away from here.
Xia Ruoan took a step back.
