Chapter 16 Shen Li, your insults are getting more and more sophisticated!
“Go ahead,” Lu Yanchuan said.
"Can you please stop giving my dad money in the future?" Shen Li took a deep breath. "I know it sounds like I'm being hypocritical for getting a good deal."
Lu Yanchuan didn't speak, but only raised an eyebrow.
“But if you keep giving him money, he’ll keep squeezing me dry.” Shen Li’s eyes were lowered, her long, thick eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow around her eyes.
It concealed the emotions in her eyes.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, as if tinged with bitterness, "You look down on me for having a father who makes money by selling his daughter."
Lu Yanchuan's eyes were deep, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.
“But you let him succeed time and time again, allowing him to profit, and then he drags me into an even deeper quagmire.”
Shen Li chuckled softly, then looked up at him. "Am I, Shen Li, not wanting to have dignity? But what has it to do with me in this?"
"You two were both willing to do it, and you completed the transaction without my permission. Now you're using this as leverage against me. Don't you find that ridiculous, Mr. Lu?"
"Mr. Lu doesn't do any unprofitable business all year round, but he's been writing off bad debts because of my dad's situation?"
Lu Yanchuan had initially thought her earlier low laugh was self-deprecating, but now he belatedly realized it.
She wasn't mocking herself; she was actually laughing at his stupidity.
The moment she called him President Lu, it was the beginning of the mockery!
Lu Yanchuan frowned, his gaze displeased, "Chen Li, you..."
Insults are getting more and more sophisticated these days.
Shen Li raised an eyebrow and went upstairs. She didn't want to say it like that, but ultimately it was just as she had said before.
This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place. Shen Wenzhong never asked Lu Yanchuan for money without her consent.
Lu Yanchuan never consulted Shen Wenzhong before giving her money.
Good heavens, after it was all over, one of them came to complain that her father was greedy and couldn't sell all his daughters.
One reason was to make her feel obligated to be subservient to her in-laws and please them.
Shen Li's emotions were greatly affected after receiving a phone call from her father.
Although there was no sarcastic tone in what I said just now, the content was...
With Lu Yanchuan's years of experience in using sharp tongues, how could he not hear the mockery in her words?
After going upstairs and calming down for a while, I started to regret it.
Lu Yanchuan is not someone who can be easily mocked.
Shen Li felt that it was probably because he was unwilling to get a clean and simple divorce that she had become a little timid.
"You've really lost your nerve."
The next day, after hearing her retell the story, Qu Xiang was also somewhat surprised, "You actually dared to talk to the Great Demon King like that. No wonder you came to hide here today."
Shen Li was nestled on the sofa in Qu Xiang's office. Upon hearing Qu Xiang's words, she couldn't help but shrink back.
Shen Li gently bit the straw of her milk tea. "The investment funds are 100% confirmed to have arrived, right?"
"I'm 100% sure, and the contract has already been signed, there's no way they can run away." Qu Xiang looked at her old friend helplessly.
"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself. You still have to live under the same roof as the Great Demon King."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li recalled that after going downstairs last night, she didn't see Lu Yanchuan, but she did see the food covered with a dishcloth on the dining table that had been left for her.
After she calmed down, she realized that her earlier words had been clearly emotional because of her father's phone call.
Therefore, some aspects are not quite suitable.
Lu Yanchuan gives money to her father without ever consulting her, which is indeed disrespectful to her.
But honestly, she still respects her dad. Sigh... no one would be so bored as to give her dad so much money just to mock her.
Even Shen Li herself was quite annoyed by her father's behavior. He needed an outlet for his emotions.
Shen Li sighed softly and said to Qu Xiang, "It's okay. Anyway, I'm going on a business trip soon. By the time I get back, he should have forgotten about it."
"Business trip? Where to?" Qu Xiang asked.
“I need to go to Lancheng to select a batch of soil. The soil I bought casually a couple of days ago wasn’t good enough. I tried firing two small plates and it didn’t turn out right. I still need to go there in person,” Shen Li said.
Qu Xiang knew that Shen Li had always been meticulous in making pottery.
“Then be careful on your way. I have to work on a new project, so I can’t come with you,” Qu Xiang said.
Before Shen Li could speak, her phone vibrated, displaying an unfamiliar number on the screen.
Upon listening, I heard a pleasant female voice, sounding very urgent.
"Mrs. Lu! Help me!"
Shen Li was taken aback, but she wasn't that forgetful. She quickly recognized the voice and asked, "You are... that anchor?"
"Yes, yes, it's me, my name is Xin Youran." Xin Youran breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. "Can I meet you to talk?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Li gave her the company's address and ended the call.
"Who?" Qu Xiang asked.
"That streamer."
Qu Xiang quickly realized which livestreamer it was. "You know her?"
Qu Xiang looked Shen Li up and down, her eyes filled with admiration, "I never would have guessed, little Li Li, you're getting more and more cunning."
Qu Xiang thought that Shen Li had personally orchestrated that trending topic.
"You overestimate me. It's just a coincidence," Shen Li said helplessly.
“That’s true. I don’t think any streamer would be so bold as to take your order and go against the Lu family,” Qu Xiang said.
"So, that's why you've come to me for help."
Xin Youran arrived shortly afterward, still carrying her livestreaming equipment.
"What happened?" Shen Li poured her a glass of water and asked.
Xin Youran was in a hurry, his mouth was dry, so he picked up the water and drank it all in one gulp.
He then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My live streaming account had already been banned before. My main platform was under the Lu Group, so I've really messed with them and offended my employer."
"To be honest, although it has some impact on me, nowadays, people do multiple platforms for self-media, so if one platform doesn't work out, another will. So it shouldn't be that troublesome."
"But today, Lu's PR team contacted me, basically saying they wanted to sue me."
At this point, Xin Youran looked distressed, clasped her hands together, and looked at Chen Li, "Mrs. Lu, please help me! You know I didn't mean to."
"Indict you? On what grounds?" Shen Li asked.
Before Xin Youran could even answer, Qu Xiang chimed in, "With the impact of yesterday's news on the Lu family, they could easily sue her for damaging their business reputation, defamation, and invasion of privacy."
“If they really want to sue, they can stand up to the law. There is no substantial evidence between Lu Yanchuan and Song Xiaowan, no audio or video recordings, no screenshots of chat logs or anything like that.
"Based on the few words they uttered during the live broadcast, it's difficult to use them as strong evidence."
Xin Youran nodded pitifully, "That's what they said! I'm doomed... Waaah! According to them, I have to pay so much, so much, so much money!"
Xin Youran rubbed her hands together like a fly, crying out, "Sister Shen Li, save me!"
