Li Yunchen did not stay in the company apartment; instead, he chose to return the way he came to find Lin Xiao.
After several attempts, the door was finally opened. As soon as he went in, he saw his brother holding Lin Xiao, as if they were about to do something indescribable.
Thinking he had been bullied, anger welled up inside her, and without asking him what happened, she threw a punch at him.
"Li Jinxia, what are you doing? Are you blind? I told you Lin Xiao isn't that kind of person."
The fist struck Li Jinxia's face with perfect accuracy, leaving a red mark and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"What are you doing? Why did you hit someone without even asking what happened?"
Li Jinxia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and glanced helplessly at her angry younger brother.
"You've misunderstood. He didn't do anything to me," Lin Xiao quickly explained, knowing that Li Yunchen had misunderstood.
Li Jinxia waved her hand and then explained another question: "No, although this whole thing is a misunderstanding, it is a fact that I like Lin Xiao."
"My dear brother, you like Lin Xiao too, don't you? But as for that, I'm afraid you have no chance at all because he's mine."
When Li Jinxia said this, he looked very smug, as if he had victory in his grasp, and then he added another sentence.
"Oh, right, I've been taking care of you since you were little, so now it's time for you to repay me, isn't it? Have you forgotten who took care of you?"
Li Yunchen pursed his lips deeply. This was a question with no choice, and he knew that Li Jinxia would not give him a chance to choose.
"So what? My strength is no worse than yours now."
"So now you're the one who needs to think about this."
Li Jinxia was furious that her younger brother had outmaneuvered her. "Now you've even learned to talk back, huh!"
"What did you say? Say it again!"
"I'm telling you, I won't give you this opportunity. Lin Xiao is mine."
"Aren't you afraid I'll fire you from the company because of this?"
Li Yunchen snorted coldly, "Why should I be afraid of you? Our strengths are evenly matched, don't you think?"
The coldness emanating from her was comparable to that of Li Jinxia back then, but the two were ultimately different, Lin Xiao could sense it.
"Stop arguing, you're all brothers, what's the point of arguing? Aren't you just making yourselves a laughing stock in front of outsiders?"
Lin Xiao quickly stopped them. He would feel bad if these two men, who might fight because of him, became enemies because of him.
"Then tell me, who do you like?"
Li Jinxia passed this hot potato back to Lin Xiao, letting him make his own choice. Both of them were people so important to him, it must be difficult.
"I just don't understand why you two are arguing. Don't you know that there are people outside waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
Lin Xiao knew very well who had caused this incident; it had all been clearly explained to Chen Chuxian at the time.
But if this kind of thing causes them to fight amongst themselves, Du Lier would probably be the happiest person.
"Have you forgotten about that woman, Du Lier? Are you waiting for us to make a fool of ourselves? If you don't want anyone to have something on you, you'd better stop this behavior immediately!"
Lin Xiao widened the distance between them, truly unable to understand why the two brothers had to act this way.
"Actually, I didn't mean anything by it. I just didn't want you to misunderstand."
Li Jinxia knew she was terribly wrong. She shouldn't have believed that woman in the first place, otherwise things wouldn't be like this now.
"Brother, why do you hang out with those women? If we hadn't stopped you, she probably would have emptied the company out of business."
Li Yunchen shook his head helplessly and looked at the man who was pouring his heart out for the beauty.
"Now shouldn't you tell us why you did it in the first place?"
“I am better than him in every way, so why would you take away my resources to promote her? Do you know that? I don’t understand this at all.”
Faced with her younger brother's questioning, Li Jinxia had nothing to say and could only desperately try to explain her mistakes.
"That's because, that's because, this is a bit difficult to say."
Li Jinxia's hesitant attitude annoyed Lin Xiao, who slammed his hand on the table, urging him to speak quickly.
"Just say what you have to say. There's nothing you can't say now. Speak up before things get out of hand."
"That woman drugged me, and I didn't know it and got hooked. Luckily, I'm very patient and didn't fall for her tricks, but..."
"She just used her hands to help you and then filmed it."
Li Jinxia suddenly raised her head, stunned and surprised that Lin Xiao knew what had happened to him later.
"How could you know that? Yes, that's exactly what you think."
"If it weren't for the fact that she had this leverage over you, I wouldn't have treated you that way."
Lin Xiao comforted the helpless man, "Actually, this matter is not as difficult as you imagine."
"I think there's still a way to turn things around. We just need to find the video from the hotel that day."
"Although this might slightly damage your reputation, you should think carefully about whether the business is more important or a little bit of reputation."
"It's just a little bit of fame, it won't have a particularly big impact on you."
He glanced up at the man, who seemed to be wavering. As the heir to a large company, how could he not have his own interests to consider?
However, if these matters involve greater interests, then these things must be given up.
“You’re right, I shouldn’t have gotten so angry over something like this.”
The roguish and mischievous Li Jinxia is back. Seeing Li Jinxia's relaxed expression, he knew that Li Jinxia had agreed.
"These are the surveillance videos I've investigated. I'm sorry, I pulled them out without your permission."
"But this is for your own sake, so you can't blame me."
Li Jinxia chuckled softly. Did he look like such a terrifying person? Was it really necessary to be so afraid of him?
He took the computer from his hand and looked at the woman in the video. It was indeed Du Lier herself. With this, plus the fact that she had cheated on him, he could see that...
It was no longer possible for Du Lier to threaten him with anything else.
"Excellent! I never knew you had this skill. I truly admire you."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just don't want to see someone's company ruined because of a woman. You're my bread and butter, aren't you?"
