Every one of Political Commissar Xu's guests wanted to chat with Li Xian, but Xu Nuo didn't like dealing with them and went to the small garden with Xu Hongmei instead.
As the two walked out, Xu Hongmei couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xu, I know that Nuomei's products are very expensive. How about I buy them from you?"
Xu Nuo chuckled, "Alright, it's a gift since it's a meeting gift, so don't refuse. You're Xu Zibing's sister, and he's working for Li Xian now, so he's practically family. What's wrong with me giving my own sister a bottle of moisturizing oil?"
Xu Hongmei hadn't expected this reason. She thought to herself, "There's no such thing as liking someone for no reason."
However, this reason made her feel a little more at ease.
"But, but my brother works under Mr. Li, shouldn't we be the ones currying favor with you? Why is the boss's wife giving us gifts?"
"My Li Xianke is a good boss. You're doing a good job as your brother, so this is a reward for you."
Xu Nuo and Xu Hongmei were chatting outside when Su Peiyi finally seized the opportunity. She took the initiative to walk to the window and said softly, "Mr. Li."
The man glanced at her coldly.
“I heard from my uncle that Mr. Li built a new hotel in Guangzhou this time. It’s a huge project and it’s caused quite a stir.”
She looked like a girl in a trance, practically ready to present a heart to Li Xian.
The girl's words were neither inappropriate nor inappropriate, and she should have received a response.
Li Xian seemed not to hear her words, his gaze fixed on something not far away, his tone unreadable: "Are you interested in me?"
Su Peiyi was stunned, her face immediately turned red, and her heart pounded. Had Li Xian finally come to his senses?
A man like Li Xian will never lack women, no matter where he goes. The way she used to do things with other men might not work anymore.
Su Peiyi decided to abandon her reserve, smiled shyly, and imitated Xu Nuo's usual speaking rhythm: "Mr. Li is very capable. You could say he's the most capable person I've met since I came to Shanghai. He's young and capable..."
"Don't ever appear in front of me again."
Su Peiyi thought she had misheard: "What?"
What does Li Xian mean by this?
"You think you're worthy of imitating her? Disgusting."
The man coldly uttered those words, strode past Su Peiyi, and left.
You think you're worthy of imitating her?
These words were like a slap in the face, leaving Su Peiyi powerless to defend herself.
She trembled all over, trying her best to hold back her sobs, but once she entered the room, she threw herself under the covers and burst into tears.
This was the first time in her life she had ever been so embarrassed.
Li Xian showed absolutely no mercy, tearing off her face and grinding it on the ground.
Recalling the look he gave her, Su Peiyi felt a chill in her heart, filled with both hatred and fear.
She cried so hard that tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't hold back her sobs.
She was just a relative staying at the Xu family's place, and nobody cared about her. She didn't show up all night, and only Ji Meiling went to check on her frequently, but no one answered the door when she knocked.
"What the hell are they doing? They have such a great opportunity, and they don't even know what they're up to."
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Li Xianzheng carefully picking at Xu Nuo's faults at the dinner table, and her heart clenched again.
Just then, Li Xian seemed to sense something and looked towards her from afar.
A seemingly casual glance made Ji Meiling hesitate as she descended the stairs.
That one glance sent chills down her spine.
Something was wrong. She quickly turned around and went upstairs. This time, she lowered her voice and said to Su Peiyi at the door, "Peiyi, is something wrong? Open the door for me."
Hearing the noise coming from inside, Ji Meiling said impatiently, "Open the door, now!"
