Chapter 14 Cheng Qian was splashed with water by her brother-in-law
She is gradually replacing Cheng Qian's position in the Li family. She has now gained the recognition of the old lady, and even she and Xia Mengjiao have become friends.
The only one who stood in her way was Jiang Meng.
Cheng Yan was not in a hurry. Her uncle's lawsuit had made her parents so embarrassed.
This hatred is rooted deep in Cheng Yan's heart.
Cheng Qian no longer has strong parents to protect her.
From this moment on, Cheng Yan will take away everything and everyone she cares about, bit by bit.
Cheng Qian looked at her angrily, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
She actually wanted to persuade Cheng Yan to stop marketing this drug to avoid causing secondary harm to patients.
Cheng Yan saw the anger on Cheng Qian's face, she just smiled: "Cousin, if you don't welcome me... then I'll leave first."
Cheng Qian sneered: "If I ask you to leave, will you leave?"
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then said sensibly, "Cousin, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Cheng Yan looked gloomy and wanted to leave.
"Cheng Qian..." A deep male voice sounded from behind: "Mind your own business."
When Cheng Yan was about to turn around, Li Zhinan reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Dinner will be served soon, please stay."
Cheng Yan felt a little uncomfortable. She said helplessly, "Zhi Nan, didn't you tell me that today is the Li family's family dinner? How can I, an outsider, be here?"
Cheng Yan said this and looked at the angry Cheng Qian: "I don't want to create any more misunderstandings. You can have a good chat with your cousin. I'll leave first."
After Cheng Yan finished speaking, she really left.
Li Zhinan's face was gloomy and ugly. He turned his head and stared at Cheng Qian: "Are you satisfied?"
Cheng Qian was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, which was extremely bitter.
This was clearly not what she wanted to talk about, but it ended up causing misunderstanding.
Forget it, if Li Zhinan thought she was a jealous woman, she didn't need to explain.
Cheng Yan's departure changed the atmosphere of the entire family gathering.
The old lady threw down her chopsticks heavily and said with a stern face: "Cheng Qian, if you have time to be jealous, you might as well learn how to be a good wife."
When the old lady spoke, no one dared to breathe.
Cheng Qian said, "I didn't ask her to leave. She wanted to leave on her own."
"Humph, if your words hadn't been so harsh, why would she leave?" the old lady sneered.
At this moment, Li Zhiwei suddenly threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, pointed at Cheng Qian and cursed: "You bad woman, you are not worthy of being my sister-in-law. Why did you make Sister Cheng angry and leave? You are the one who should leave."
Seventeen-year-old boys are at a rebellious age, and long-term illness has made Li Zhiwei's personality changeable.
He has been locked up in the hospital for treatment since he was eight years old. Cheng Yan is one of the few women he has met who is gentle to him. Li Zhiwei is at the age of falling in love for the first time. After being together for a long time, Li Zhiwei developed some inexplicable emotions towards Cheng Yan.
So, he waited for a long time before finally having dinner with Cheng Yan today.
But his favorite elder sister was actually angered and left by Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian was startled and quickly hugged Xiao Ye in her arms. The little guy was so scared that he grabbed her clothes and hid in her arms.
"Get out of here! I don't want to see you again." Li Zhiwei picked up a cup of tea from the table and poured it towards Cheng Qian: "You are not worthy of my eldest brother. I will never recognize you as my sister-in-law again."
Cheng Qian's head and face were covered with water droplets, and Xiaoye in her arms also had his hair wet.
"That's enough, Xiaowei." Li Zhinan scolded him harshly, "Apologize to your sister-in-law."
"I don't want it." Li Zhiwei screamed and roared, "Sister Cheng is my only hope of survival. She cares about me and loves me. In my eyes, she is worthy of being my big brother."
Jiang Meng immediately said seriously: "Xiaowei, don't talk nonsense."
Li Zhiwei's chest was heaving with anger, and his face was pale.
Li Zhinan took the tissue and handed it to Cheng Qian, then hugged Xiaoye over.
Cheng Qian didn't take his tissue. She just picked up her bag and stood up. "Sorry, I ruined the atmosphere today. I'll leave first."
Cheng Qian turned around and wanted to take Xiaoye away.
Li Zhinan said, "You are emotionally unstable right now, Xiaoye, come with me."
Cheng Qian didn't argue with him and turned to walk out.
Sitting in the car, the pent-up emotions burst out like a dam breaking.
Cheng Qian covered her face with her hands, feeling heavy and uncomfortable.
Li Zhiwei's few words woke her up.
She is not worthy of Li Zhinan.
Everyone thinks so.
The root cause of today's farce is that Li Zhinan doesn't love her.
Cheng Yan's methods became more and more sophisticated. She just showed up and pushed her into the abyss.
Cheng Qian didn't go home, she went to the Seed Research Institute.
The laboratory is still in the process of introducing equipment and has not yet officially assembled and put it into use. Ji Nan is also recruiting troops.
This laboratory was invested by several large foreign pharmaceutical companies, which wanted to develop the domestic market and research new drugs based on the physical constitution of the local population.
The experimental equipment this time is all world-class.
"Uncle Ji, I have something important to talk to you about." Cheng Qian said hurriedly when she saw Ji Nan.
Ji Nan nodded: "Let's talk in the office."
Cheng Qian handed the medicine and instructions she brought from the private hospital to Ji Nan: "This is Cheng's upcoming drug, which has been under research for three years."
Ji Nan finished reading the drug instructions and frowned, saying, "I remember your father also researched this back then, but for some unknown reason, he shut down the experiment."
Cheng Qian nodded: "I saw in my father's diary that he explained the reason. The side effects of this drug outweigh the efficacy. It is both beneficial and harmful to the patient."
Ji Nan nodded. "I see. Did Cheng Group overcome this difficulty? That's why they were able to successfully go public?"
Cheng Qian shook her head: "Impossible."
Ji Nan's expression was serious: "If they don't solve this problem, how can they go public?"
Cheng Qian said calmly, "Money talks. Of course, if they want to, they can do it. They are preparing for an IPO."
Ji Nan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "The Cheng family father and daughter still can't escape the nature of businessmen."
"Uncle Ji, this is a good opportunity for me." Cheng Qian will never forget that her father was hospitalized due to anger.
Ji Nan pondered for a moment: "You don't want Cheng's to go public?"
Cheng Qian nodded: "My father's car accident is full of doubts. I must find out the truth and give them an explanation."
Ji Nan looked at her distressedly: "Xiao Qian, you are a sensible child. According to rumors, the cause of the car accident was classified as an accident. Do you have other suspicions?"
Cheng Qian nodded: "My parents have always been careful in doing things. I don't believe they will leave me alone in the world."
Ji Nan also thought so: "Okay, Uncle Ji will help you. I will never allow businessmen to prioritize profit and do things that harm others. This goes against medical ethics."
Cheng Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Uncle Ji's words, she felt more confident.
Ji Nan suddenly asked her: "Are you free tonight?"
Cheng Qian was curious: "Uncle Ji, is there something wrong?"
Ji Nan took out an invitation and said, "You are going to attend a banquet on behalf of your uncle. Yi Chen will be there too. Several investors will be coming. You should say hello to them."
Cheng Qian immediately took it with both hands: "Okay, I'll go over."
Ji Nan thought for a moment and asked her again: "By the way, what does your husband...do for a living? I've never heard you mention it."
Cheng Qian's pretty face turned pale. She really didn't want to say anything more about the cheating man.
"Uncle Ji, I'll introduce him to you when we meet some other day." Cheng Qian knew that Ji Nan had been very busy recently and didn't want to make him worry.
"Okay, how about I treat you and you invite your husband over for dinner? Uncle Ji also wants to know what kind of person our outstanding girl Xixi married." Ji Nan smiled expectantly.
Cheng Qian smiled bitterly and answered with a "good".
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Cheng Qian arrived at the banquet venue on time with her admission ticket.
It was held in a seven-star hotel by the sea in this city.
There were many luxury cars and the banquet was a formal occasion, so Cheng Qian also changed into a light blue dress.
She took off her coat, gave it to the waiter for safekeeping, lifted her skirt, and walked towards the elevator.
"Sister Xiao Qian...I'm here." A gentle and elegant male voice called her.
Cheng Qian turned around and saw a tall and straight figure walking out from behind the white Roman columns.
It was Ji Yichen who was wearing an iron-gray formal suit.
The man had a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, handsome eyebrows, and a noble temperament of a superior. He was like a mysterious hunter, attracting the attention of the women around him.
When Cheng Qian was addressed like this by him, a blush flashed across her fair face.
"Brother Yichen, are you waiting for me?"
"I guess so. My dad told me repeatedly to take good care of you." Ji Yichen didn't dare to ignore the old man's words.
Tonight he only has one client to serve, and that is the... charming woman in front of him.
Ji Yichen then took a closer look at Cheng Qian's outfit. She had always dressed simply and casually before, but it was obvious that she had a tall and graceful figure.
Now this dress is neither too showy nor too fancy, but just right, bringing out her elegant temperament with a touch of nobility.
Her long hair was styled into a princess bun, revealing her superior, full and clean forehead. Her eyebrows were like distant black ink, and her oval face, which was the size of a palm, had facial features that showed a unique feminine charm.
Ji Yichen's expression flickered, and he said with a smile: "Let's go, go up first."
"Okay!" Cheng Qian nodded.
When the elevator door was about to close, someone opened it again.
A rose-red figure at the door is particularly eye-catching.
Cheng Qian took a closer look and found that the charming and elegant face was actually Cheng Yan.
The person standing next to Cheng Yan was none other than Li Zhinan.
There were few people in the elevator at the moment, so Li Zhinan and Cheng Yan naturally saw Ji Yichen and Cheng Qian.
"Cousin...Mr. Ji?" Cheng Yan showed an expression of disbelief: "You..."
She hesitated to speak, but this only made it more likely that something fishy was going on.
Cheng Yan turned her head and glanced at Li Zhinan.
Li Zhinan's expression turned noticeably colder.
"Zhi Nan, what a coincidence. My father asked me to bring Cheng Qian here to meet some investors." Ji Yichen didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so he immediately explained the reason.
Cheng Qian pursed her red lips and said nothing.
Li Zhinan nodded: "I see."
Cheng Yan was puzzled. Cheng Qian was so valued by Dr. Ji. She was so lucky.
After the excellent parents passed away, an excellent uncle Ji came to help.
Cheng Yan was disdainful in her heart, even though there were so many powerful people helping her.
But a useless person is useless and can't be helped.
The elevator reached the third floor. Cheng Yan walked out first. Ji Yichen also wanted to go out, and Cheng Qian followed.
But in the next second, Li Zhinan reached out and grabbed her arm, and said to the two people who were leaving, "I have something to say to her, you go in first."
