Chapter 141 Dad is so good, Uncle Ji is taking care of Mom
Li Zhinan's handsome face froze, and this time, he gave up.
He stared at his phone in disbelief, while Xiao Ye happily called out, "Is that Uncle Ji?"
Ji Yichen's voice, filled with smile, came softly: "It's Xiaoye, good morning, little one."
"Dad is so nice, Uncle Ji is taking care of Mom." Xiao Ye raised his big black eyes and smiled happily.
Li Zhinan was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He grabbed the phone, turned off the speakerphone, walked out the door, and said in a voice that was filled with anger: "This is Cheng Qian's phone."
Ji Yichen smiled faintly and said, "Well, she's taking a shower. Is there anything wrong?"
Li Zhinan felt as if he had been whipped severely, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
"Why are you in her room so early in the morning?" Li Zhinan finally stopped suppressing his anger and asked directly.
Ji Yichen said innocently, "Zhi Nan, are you angry?"
Li Zhinan was choked by this again. If he said yes, what qualifications did he have? If he said no, Ji Yichen would push his luck.
At this moment, Ji Yichen moved his phone away and seemed to say to Cheng Qian, "This is Zhinan calling. Do you want to answer?"
A clear female voice came from a distance: "No, hang up."
Ji Yichen immediately put it to his ear and said, "Zhi Nan, I'm sorry, Cheng Qian and I are a little busy. Let's talk later."
After saying that, Ji Yichen hung up the phone.
Li Zhinan's heart felt like it was burning with fire, making him feel uncomfortable.
Cheng Qian wouldn’t... wouldn’t really let herself go, would she?
Yes, after more than a year of not having sex, Cheng Qian seemed to be pure and indifferent, but she still had needs. She once said that she was just not good at expressing herself, but in fact, she also enjoyed that thing.
"Dad...Dad, come and have breakfast." Ono shouted.
Li Zhinan turned his head stiffly and looked at his son's pretty little face. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Disappointed, angry, sad, and powerless.
At his feet, two little puppies were wagging their tails to please him.
Li Zhinan squatted down. He bought these two puppies from the female dog that Cheng Qian had raised before.
Cheng Qian also seems to like these two little ones, and Xiao Ye also likes to play with them.
Li Zhinan grabbed one and placed it in front of him: "Tell me, did your master betray me?"
The little puppy opened its dark eyes and looked confused.
"Forget it, you are not a human being, what should I talk to you about?" Li Zhinan had no choice but to stand up, took a few bites of food without any appetite, and sent his son to school.
As soon as he arrived at the school gate, Li Zhinan met Chu Huaijing. This guy would take a detour to send his nephew off before going to work every day. He looked very responsible and seemed to be the type of person Cheng Qian liked.
Chu Huaijing saw them coming over. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Taotao is throwing a tantrum and refuses to go in. Xiaoye, can you help Uncle Chu take care of Taotao?"
Xiao Ye nodded, and happily walked forward to hold Taotao's hand: "Taotao, let's go in together."
Taotao nodded immediately: "Okay!"
The two little guys talked and laughed as they skipped into the school gate.
Ever since Chu Huaijing opened up to Li Zhinan about his worries, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes.
"Zhi Nan, are you going to the company?" Chu Huaijing asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Li Zhinan nodded absentmindedly.
"Why isn't Cheng Qian sending the child to school today?" Chu Huaijing asked in confusion.
Li Zhinan's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at him: "You don't send Taotao every day just to run into Cheng Qian here, do you?"
Chu Huaijing laughed: "Zhi Nan, all parents have to send their children to school in the morning. How do you want me to explain this?"
"No need to explain." Li Zhinan is also a man, how could he not understand Chu Huaijing's dark schemes?
Thinking of this, Li Zhinan felt that he was still too naive when it came to love.
A green tea man, a scheming man, on the other hand, he is still on the road to death and will never come back.
"Cheng Qian went to City B to discuss business with Ji Yichen last night and didn't come back last night." Li Zhinan understood in an instant. In fact, he was not unfamiliar with scheming and green tea tactics, but before, he just disdained them.
Now that everyone is so green tea scheming, it's time for him to wake up.
Chu Huaijing's expression really changed. He smiled and said, "Ji Yichen treats Cheng Qian very well. He even brings her along on business trips."
"Sister?" Li Zhinan raised his eyebrows: "You don't really think that they are brother and sister, do you?"
Chu Huaijing was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "That's what Ji Yichen told me last time. He said he would take care of Cheng Qian like a younger sister."
Li Zhinan suddenly wanted to laugh. It turned out that he was not the only one who was naive. There was someone like him.
"If they really are brother and sister, then why was it Ji Yichen who answered Cheng Qian's phone this morning?" Li Zhinan's face turned grim and ugly when he said this: "They were both drunk yesterday."
Chu Huaijing's expression darkened instantly. He glanced at Li Zhinan with ulterior motives, then said, "Really? Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
"Huai Jing, don't fool yourself. Ji Yichen is your biggest competitor. Be careful." After Li Zhinan said this, he turned and walked towards his Bentley.
Chu Huaijing froze in place for two seconds, then returned to his car with a gloomy face.
Li Zhinan did not go to the company immediately, but went to the hospital.
He entered the ward and saw a slender figure curled up on the sofa, asleep.
As soon as Li Zhinan walked in, the old lady immediately shushed him and asked him to speak more quietly.
Li Zhinan walked lightly to the bedside and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
The old lady turned her face away and hummed softly: "If you really want me to be well, you shouldn't let me worry about you."
"Grandma, I think you know the truth. Cheng Qian is innocent and has been wronged. I will give her some money as compensation..."
"You're giving her too much. What if she thinks you're a liar and comes back to you?" The old lady glared at him, "Women never forget generous men."
Li Zhinan's eyes lit up. Is what grandma said true?
"Grandma, it's okay. This money is also for Xiaoye's child support." Li Zhinan comforted her.
"Naive." The old lady scolded him, "Forget it, you can make money, how you spend it is your own business, but from now on, you and Cheng Qian must draw a clear line, and stop communicating. If you hurt Xiaoyan's heart, I will not forgive you."
Li Zhinan glanced at Cheng Yan on the sofa. He looked serious and whispered, "Grandma, I have always treated Cheng Yan as my sister. Don't mess around with her. It will ruin her reputation."
"Hasn't her reputation been ruined a long time ago? And it's all because of you, kid." The old lady said angrily, "It's all said out there that Cheng Yan is your extramarital lover. Don't you know that?"
"How is this possible?" Li Zhinan was shocked. Is this really what was said outside?
"You are obsessed with your work all day long and don't care about your own reputation. If you don't believe me, go out and listen for yourself. Xiaoyan's reputation has been ruined a long time ago. You have to be responsible." The old lady had heard a lot about her eldest grandson cheating on her with the eldest daughter of the Cheng family.
Li Zhinan was feeling annoyed, so he said a few words of concern and then left the ward.
Cheng Yan, who was lying on the sofa, was actually not asleep. She heard everything the grandparents and grandchildren said.
Li Zhinan's denial made her feel sad. She thought she had entered his heart, but it turned out that he had always treated her as a sister and kept her outside his heart.
All this was caused by Cheng Qian. Without her, she wouldn't have to love this man so hard.
If she had returned earlier four years ago and told the Li family that she was their savior, she would have been Mrs. Li, enjoying his exclusive favor and preference.
But no matter how much he planned, he never expected Cheng Qian to intervene and give birth to a son with him.
Cheng Yan regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
Li Zhinan walked out of the hospital lobby, and his assistant Wang Rui hurried forward to open the car door.
"Wang Rui, do you know what the story is about me and Cheng Yan?" Li Zhinan finally faced up to the matter.
Wang Rui replied in surprise, "Boss Li, why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
"Tell me the truth." Li Zhinan displayed the deterrent power of a superior.
Wang Rui's back trembled with fear, and he immediately said, "Boss Li, you and your wife have been keeping your marriage secret. Although the stock market has announced your marriage, many people believe that Cheng Yan is your wife."
"How could this happen? Those who make random guesses must be out of their minds. They talk nonsense without even understanding the situation." Li Zhinan was furious after hearing this.
"Mr. Li, you can't blame the people outside for spreading rumors. The main reason is that Miss Cheng is always by your side in every occasion you go, and your wife hardly ever shows up." Wang Rui explained with a stiff upper lip.
Li Zhinan froze and was speechless for a moment.
"Didn't I bring Cheng Qian to attend the next few banquets? That should have shut up those gossipers." Li Zhinan said in a cold voice.
"They did block it, but they also said that you definitely don't like your wife, otherwise you wouldn't have never brought her to any occasion. So, the scandal about you and Miss Cheng exploded even more, and everyone believed that she was your extramarital lover." Wang Rui didn't dare to speak and told the truth.
Li Zhinan's breathing tightened, and he pointed at him: "Such a serious misunderstanding happened, why didn't you report it to me?"
Wang Rui had an innocent look on his face: "Boss Li, didn't you acquiesce to all this?"
"I..." Li Zhinan wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak.
Wang Rui immediately panicked and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. Did I misread your feelings? You've always given me the impression of being indulgent towards Miss Cheng. And yet, every time I spoke up for your wife, you harshly criticized me. Over time, I've come to believe that the only person you love is Miss Cheng."
Li Zhinan took a deep breath and said, "Listen carefully now. My feelings towards Cheng Yan are only those of a brother and sister and a friend. I don't love her. Don't get the whole story wrong."
Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "Yes, Mr. Li, if you don't like your wife or Miss Cheng, then who do you like?"
