Chapter 12 She took her son to see another man
The greatest self-discipline a woman can have is not to have children indiscriminately.
Cheng Qian said calmly: "We are so busy with work, let's not consider the matter of children for now."
"Work?" Li Zhinan then remembered that she had given a speech today on behalf of Ji Nan's Seed Research Institute. "You resigned from my job just to join the Seed Research Institute, right? Did you have this plan in mind?"
Cheng Qian glanced at the man's expression. His brows were gloomy and he seemed angry.
Not wanting to explain too much, Cheng Qian pushed him away: "It's pointless to pursue what has already happened. I have already resigned. Where I go next is my freedom."
Li Zhinan's cold eyes darkened, his expression displeased: "So, the hundreds of millions I invested in your father's laboratory are all wasted like this?"
Cheng Qian was shocked.
"Li Zhinan, I just discovered something not long ago, and I think it's necessary to mention it to you." Cheng Qian said, standing up: "Let's go to the study to talk."
Cheng Qian walked into her study and turned on the computer.
Li Zhinan was wearing a black nightgown, with a straight and tall figure. With an oppressive feeling, he followed the woman into the study.
Cheng Qian immediately opened the data she had compiled and showed it to him: "The research data for the past four years is all here. I have supplied more than a hundred kinds of drugs to your company, but these are just some routine medications. Whenever I make progress in my research, there are always some unexpected things that happen..."
Li Zhinan looked at him indifferently and hummed, "Accident? That's a good reason."
Cheng Qian ignored his sarcasm and said seriously, "On the day I resigned, someone broke into my office, messed up my documents, and pried open my drawers, seemingly looking for something important."
Li Zhinan raised his eyebrows: "A thief broke into the lab?"
Cheng Qian bit her lip and said, "It's not a thief, but there's a spy in the lab. I don't know who sent him in, but he's trying to stop me from researching new drugs."
"Cheng Qian, where's the evidence?" Li Zhinan said in a deep voice, "There's no evidence. It's just your one-sided guess. It's hard to prove the charges."
Cheng Qian's brows furrowed. "The previous accidents all seemed to have reasons to back them up, so I didn't pay too much attention to them. But when my office was ransacked, I concluded that this wasn't an accident. I don't have any evidence, but I hope you can investigate."
Li Zhinan sneered and scoffed: "You want me to check? Why?"
"Just because you invested 300 million yuan, don't you want to know who is behind this and is hindering the development of your company?" Cheng Qian said.
Li Zhinan's face froze. If there really was a spy sneaking in, Li Zhinan would of course investigate it thoroughly.
"I can check, but you have to provide information. Don't tell me that you didn't feel anything after being watched by spies for four years." Li Zhinan is a suspicious person.
Cheng Qian rested her fingers lightly on the back of the chair, closed her eyes slightly and thought carefully: "There is a way."
Li Zhinan looked at her beautiful face and said calmly, "Oh? Tell me about it."
…
After Cheng Qian finished explaining her plan, she walked around him and went straight back to her room to sleep.
Li Zhinan stood in the corridor with a frown on his face.
A couple discusses how to catch a thief in the middle of the night?
The next day, Cheng Qian opened her previous work group and sent an email saying that there was a public safe in the storage room on the third floor of the small building. She had important items in it, but she had forgotten the password and wanted to ask who kept the key.
There are more than fifty people in the group, and everyone replied below, saying that none of them have the key.
Cheng Qian posted another message, her tone anxious: "This is something my father left behind. It is very important to me. I hope the person who keeps the key can help me."
After sending this message, Cheng Qian called Li Zhinan.
Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was a woman.
"Cousin, Zhinan is taking a bath..."
When Cheng Qian heard this, her pretty face darkened. What about the agreement to catch the thief together?
He actually ran to Cheng Yan's bed early in the morning to grab her breasts.
Cheng Qian also wanted to find out the traitor from that year, so she left Xiao Ye to her aunt and drove out.
Cheng Qian parked the car and walked quickly towards the small building.
Sure enough, the tightly closed door of the storage room on the third floor was pried open, indicating that someone had been there.
There was a mess inside, but no one was seen.
Cheng Qian was so angry that her chest felt stuffy and painful. She sent a message to Li Zhinan early in the morning, asking him to send someone to arrest the man.
He was fine, no one was sent over, and he was still in the land of comfort.
Thinking of this, Cheng Qian turned around angrily. Since he didn't want to investigate, then don't bother investigating.
Anyway, it wasn't her money that was lost, so why should she care?
When Cheng Qian went downstairs, she happened to see Li Zhinan's Bentley do a perfect drift and stop in the garage.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhinan got out of the car, and Cheng Yan also got out of the car.
Cheng Qian looked at the couple after their affair, with a cold face, and walked towards her car.
"Cheng Qian, where is she?" Li Zhinan walked over and asked her sternly.
Cheng Qian said angrily, "He ran away."
"How could that be?" Li Zhinan's expression changed slightly.
Cheng Qian said angrily: "I asked you to come over at nine o'clock. What time is it now?"
Cheng Yan immediately helped explain: "Cousin, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I accidentally fell into the swimming pool. You know, I choked on water when I was a child and have always been afraid of water. If Zhinan hadn't saved me..."
Cheng Qian interrupted her chatter and looked at Li Zhinan: "This is the last time I will help you."
After saying that, Cheng Qian walked towards her car.
Li Zhinan chased after her angrily and forcefully held the car door open as she was about to close it.
"Cheng Xi, I'm late. It's my fault, but you don't have to be so rude. Don't you just want to find the person behind this? Okay, I'll send someone to investigate. There are always surveillance cameras around."
Cheng Qian looked at the angry man, she was both angry and speechless.
It was clearly his fault that he was late and didn't catch the person on the scene. How could he have the nerve to blame her for being angry?
Cheng Qian closed the car door, started the car and left.
In the rearview mirror, Cheng Yan walked to Li Zhinan's side, lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and it was unclear what she was saying.
The New Year atmosphere was strong, and Cheng Qian received a call from the old lady of the Cheng family.
In Cheng Qian's impression, this grandmother has always favored her uncle's family. Since her parents passed away, she has rarely set foot in the Cheng family's door again.
Why did she call me suddenly?
Cheng Qian answered the phone, and the old lady said, "Xiao Qian, the New Year is coming soon. Come home for dinner when you have time."
Cheng Qian said calmly: "I'm not free recently."
"Even if you have a grudge against your uncle, you don't have one against grandma. When you were a kid, you loved eating at grandma's house the most." Old Mrs. Cheng reasoned with her and moved her with emotion.
Cheng Qian still refused: "I can't leave, let's talk about it later."
Old Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to say to her stubborn granddaughter, "Okay, come home when you have time. I haven't seen you in a year."
"Okay!" Cheng Qian said perfunctorily and hung up the phone.
In the evening, Lin Si asked Cheng Qian to have dinner with him. At the dinner table, Lin Si stood up for her.
"Xiao Qian, you can't always be bullied by her. She's taken over your husband and your lab. How much more does she want to take from you?"
Cheng Qian's expression became more resolute. "My man and my job don't belong to me in the first place. I don't care if she can take them away. But if she wants to take my child away, I will never agree."
"Oh, that's right. She even taught Xiaoye to call her mom. How abominable." Lin Si clenched her fists. "Xiao Qian, if she dares to teach Xiaoye bad things again, you must slap her in the face. Don't give her face."
Cheng Qian nodded: "I will, Lin Si, do you have a reliable detective to recommend to me?"
Lin Si's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of someone: "Yes, I know this person, he has strong business capabilities."
"Then introduce her to me. I want to quickly collect evidence of Li Zhinan's affair with her." Cheng Qian couldn't wait any longer.
Lin Si snapped his fingers and said, "I'll talk to the detective for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you capture the scene."
"Thank you, I'll pay for it," said Cheng Qian.
"No need for that. These adulterers are like rats in the gutter, everyone wants to kill them. I'll give them the money." Lin Si patted his chest and said with great loyalty.
Cheng Qian's eyes were red, and her gratitude was overflowing with words: "Okay, I owe you this favor."
Lin Si suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the aphrodisiac developed by Cheng's Biological Products is very popular. Has Li Gou also tried it?"
Cheng Qian was startled and shook her head: "I don't know."
In the following days, Cheng Qian stayed at home and rarely went out. Apart from accompanying her son, she read books and organized research materials.
Compared with Cheng Qian's simple life, Li Zhinan is so busy that he is nowhere to be seen at the end of the year. His company has nearly a hundred investment projects in operation. Li Zhinan is busy with all kinds of things every day, and he still finds time to cause a scandal.
Reporters photographed him entering and leaving a seven-star hotel with a beautiful woman.
The woman's figure was a little blurry, but Li Zhinan's facial features were clearly captured.
He turned his head and spoke to the woman in a low voice. He had a superior bone structure and was handsome and charming.
The scandal only stayed on the Internet for half an hour before it was spread.
Cheng Qian saw this news after Lin Si forwarded it to her mobile phone.
That figure was Cheng Yan. Li Zhinan's tall figure walked side by side with her, and they were a perfect match.
Winter nights always come early, and it is pitch black after six o'clock.
Just as my aunt prepared dinner, she heard the sound of a car shutting off outside the door.
A man in a business suit and a black windbreaker stepped out of the back seat.
He stepped into the living room and asked, "Is the wife home?"
The aunt immediately replied: "My wife went out with the children at around four o'clock."
"Did you say where you were going?" The man paused and tugged at his tie.
"No, he just said he wouldn't be back for dinner." said the aunt.
"Yeah!" Li Zhinan went straight upstairs.
Just then, a text message came to his mobile phone, which was a photo sent by a good friend in his circle.
Cheng Qian took Xiao Ye and sat in a secluded corner to have dinner with Ji's father and son.
Ji Yichen was holding the little boy and playing with him, while Cheng Qian and Ji Nan seemed to be communicating with their heads down.
This photo made Li Zhinan's pupils tremble.
He never imagined that Cheng Qian would take her son out to meet another man.
