Chapter 87: The rich lady only wants a divorce 19

Mingnan walked over leisurely and poured himself a glass of water, then sat down opposite Li Xiao, "Boss Li, are you sober?"

Li Xiao: “Haha.”

It’s better to be dead than to wake up.

He didn't even dare to think about Song Youning's reaction after seeing those videos. He was afraid that she would make fun of him for the rest of her life!

His hands began to clench at the thought.

Mingnan glanced at him warily, "Why, are you going to take action?"

"I advise you not to do that, or I might get serious and make you cry a second time."

Li Xiao's teeth were almost broken, but when he thought about it, it had been so long and Song Youning had probably seen everything he needed to see. Nothing he did now would help and he felt powerless.

He was really bewitched to marry such a woman.

He pinched his brows tiredly and decided to skip this socially dead topic.

"You said Gong Wen was going to take action against Song Youning. What's going on? How did you run into her?"

Mingnan put down his water cup and said unhappily, "You are the one who caused this affair. Gong Wen liked you, but she has been holding a grudge against me ever since you broke up with her and married me. This time she finally found evidence of your cheating, so of course she can't wait to make fun of me."

Li Xiao couldn't refute it, this romantic debt was indeed caused by him.

"I don't know who she asked to take the intimate photos of you and Song Youning. I doubt the ones she showed me were all of them—"

At this point she frowned in disdain, patted her cup and said, "Boss Li, can you be more restrained when you are out there? If you want to kiss and touch, can you get in the car first? Must you do it outside? It's more exciting this way, right?"

Li Xiao touched his nose awkwardly and whispered, "It's not that I can't help myself..."

Mingnan couldn't help but glance at him, "Hehe."

Li Xiao cleared his throat, "What else did she say?"

"She wanted to join forces with me to get rid of Song Youning. I guess she felt that Song Youning was a bigger threat than me. She hadn't given up on you and wanted to rekindle her relationship with you, but I refused. I told her to stop interfering in our affairs and threatened her with you."

"But threats are time-sensitive. She may be jealous now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long run." Mingnan said seriously, "So you'd better send a few more people to protect Song Youning. Don't hide this from her. Don't play those tricks. I'm doing this for your own good, but if I don't tell you, people will mistakenly think you're spying on them, and you won't know how to explain, and then there will be another quarrel."

Mingnan is very familiar with this routine.

Li Xiao: “…”

He was speechless.

If she hadn't said it, he might have really done it.

Mingnan looked at his changing expression and sneered, "I've said everything I need to say, you can handle the rest yourself."

After that, she got up and went to the restaurant. "Auntie Zhang, I'm hungry. What should I eat tonight?"

Li Xiao looked at her back and fell into deep thought.

Putting aside the video issue, Mingnan was a good person. At least he knew to tell him first so that he could be prepared.

Gong Wen...

Whenever he thought of Gong Wen, his face was filled with disgust.

He broke up with Gong Wen because Gong Wen was very controlling and jealous.

Not only does he have to report his daily travel, but he also has to control small things like what he eats for every meal and what color socks he wears today.

Whenever there is a person of the opposite sex around him, no matter if they are in their seventies or eighties or even thirteen, they will ask what their relationship is and why he wants to see her.

These can be tolerated when the feelings are strong, but over time no one can stand living under surveillance and control 24 hours a day.

Because of her, Li Xiao's assistants were all replaced.

I thought she would have calmed down after such a long time, but I didn't expect her to still be so crazy.

Li Xiao pressed his eyebrows, called his secretary, and asked him to call four bodyguards to Song Youning.

Finally, he added: "Tell her why these bodyguards are here, and don't let her worry."

Secretary Qi: "Yes, Mr. Li."

…

After dinner, Mingnan received another email. She half-dried her hair and went into her study to start working.

During the studio's initial development phase, she did everything herself and working overtime was the norm.

Once again she worked until midnight, her hair was dry, she got up, stretched her waist, went to bed and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, she was drowsy and wondered if she had forgotten something, but before she could remember, she was dragged into a dream.

She was very busy in the next half month as another piece of jewelry she designed was about to be released, and she needed to go abroad to confirm the details with the other party.

During this period, she and Chu Xunsheng chatted less and less. It was basically a cycle. She would reply when she remembered, and not reply when she was busy and forgot. The dialogue box between the two seemed cold and deserted.

After finally settling her overseas affairs, she flew back overnight as she had to attend a very important cocktail party the next day.

It was just daybreak when she came back. She took a nap at home and managed to regain her energy.

The next day she spent several hours on her makeup and styling, and wore a small dress designed by her own studio.

After confirming that everything was OK, she picked up her handbag and went out with Li Xiao.

This cocktail party was held in a luxury hotel in the city center.

There was a row of luxury cars parked outside the hotel, the lobby was brightly lit, and there were elegantly dressed people. The scent of expensive perfume and champagne floated in the air.

You don't even need to see the person, just the smell reminds you of four words: rampant materialism.

As soon as Mingnan showed up holding Lixiao's hand, they attracted a lot of attention. Li family's partners came forward to greet them one after another. Lixiao put on a standard smile and handled them with ease.

Mingnan stayed by his side and chatted with him at appropriate times, playing the role of a dignified, gentle and virtuous wife to the fullest.

Many celebrities were invited to tonight's cocktail party to liven up the atmosphere. Mingnan was delighted to see them all at a glance.

She and Li Xiao separated and went to talk to people they knew.

Soon the cocktail party officially began. The organizer came to the stage to give a speech. Mingnan found a corner to sit down and took sips of champagne.

She thought she had found a low-profile position, but she didn't know she was still being targeted.

After the organizer finished his speech, soft and romantic dance music came from the sound system, indicating that tonight's cocktail party officially began.

Mingnan was not interested in dancing and didn't want to join in, so he just sat there without moving.

But she didn't move, and someone came to her door. A man in a silver-gray suit walked over leisurely, bowed to her gentlemanly, held out his hand and said, "I wonder if I have the honor to ask the beautiful lady to dance with me?"

Mingnan swallowed the wine and turned to look at the other person.

Not far away, a few girls gathered together, watching and whispering. Judging from their excited expressions, they must know this man.

Mingnan thought about it and realized that he seemed to be a star, and quite famous. However, she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry and had no impression of him.

Since he was invited by the organizer and he was a celebrity, there might be a chance for them to work together in the future. She thought about it and decided not to refuse. She placed her hand in a black velvet glove on his palm and said with a smile, "It's my honor too."

The moment the lights dimmed, a tall figure came in from the side door, just in time to see the man leading Mingnan into the dance floor.
