Chapter 15 Cheng Yan is the best candidate for Mrs. Li
Before Cheng Qian could react, the elevator door closed and the elevator went up.
Cheng Qian glared at Li Zhinan angrily: "What do you want to say?"
Li Zhinan's face was gloomy, and his voice was cold: "Why didn't you tell me that you were going to such an important banquet?"
After hearing this, Cheng Qian sneered: "That's not necessary."
"Cheng Qian, don't forget, we are husband and wife..."
"The one who forgot is you, it has always been you." Cheng Qian was suddenly hit by a wave of emotions, and her eyes were red.
Li Zhinan frowned and said calmly, "I told you about my investment in the Cheng family a long time ago. You didn't just find out now."
Cheng Qian was so angry that she almost laughed. What did she know?
"Li Zhinan, I really don't feel like arguing with you. Let me go down." Cheng Qian was angry.
Li Zhinan became even angrier: "What will others think of you and Ji Yichen going out together?"
Cheng Qian snorted, "I don't need what others think."
Li Zhinan felt that she was unreasonable.
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened, someone came in, and the elevator slid down.
Stopping on the third floor, Cheng Qian strode away without looking back.
Li Zhinan looked at her back and noticed for the first time what she looked like in a formal dress.
Before, she was almost always busy in the laboratory in her work uniform, except for the burgundy toast dress on their wedding day, but she was six months pregnant at that time and was not as slim as she is now.
Li Zhinan frowned and walked into the reception hall with a hint of annoyance.
As soon as Cheng Qian came in, she saw Cheng Yan, Ji Yichen and some of Li Zhinan’s friends standing together and chatting.
Cheng Yan is familiar with them.
While chatting, Ji Yichen looked towards the entrance of the hall from time to time.
When he saw Cheng Qian coming, Ji Yichen walked towards her.
Cheng Yan looked back and pursed her red lips.
"Sister Xiaoqian, President Li didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Ji Yichen was always worried that Li Zhinan would misunderstand.
Cheng Qian said calmly: "Forget about him, let's go meet the investors."
Ji Yichen raised his eyes and saw Li Zhinan walking in with a cold face.
His heart skipped a beat, thinking that this cold-faced King of Hell was really jealous.
"Okay, they are over there, let's go over there." Ji Yichen was upright and had nothing to fear, so he naturally put official business first.
Cheng Yan's gaze followed the direction of Ji Yichen and Cheng Qian, and a trace of annoyance flashed through her heart.
Not to mention that Cheng Qian is not worthy of Li Zhinan, she is not even qualified to match Ji Yichen.
"Zhi Nan, you're here." Cheng Yan came over.
Two more wealthy kids came over and asked, "Zhi Nan, why is your wife here at this kind of event?"
The person who spoke was a man named Fang Zhuo. He had also seen Cheng Qian just now and was a little surprised.
Thinking that Li Zhinan brought her here, he was worried that Cheng Yan's mood would be affected.
Li Zhinan said calmly, "She joined the Seed Research Institute and came here on behalf of the institute."
Cheng Yan's expression changed slightly and she bit her lips lightly.
Cheng Qian indeed represented the Seed Research Institute, and Ji Nan actually trusted her so much.
Thinking about the speech she gave on the stage that day, which directly pointed out the most tackable cancer issue today, it has already attracted attention from all parties.
The development of cancer seems to have made some breakthroughs, but in fact it has been stagnant and progress has been slow.
If someone can conduct in-depth research in this area, it will be an intangible and huge asset from a business perspective.
Next, Li Zhinan also took Cheng Yan to meet some investors. Two of Li Zhinan’s rich second-generation friends were also interested in investing in Cheng Bio.
Cheng Yan was like the most graceful peacock, standing next to several rich young men, attracting the envious gazes of the women around her.
Cheng Qian followed Ji Yichen and communicated purely in English with several foreign investors. The other party expressed that they admired Cheng Qian's research ideas and hoped that she could continue to delve into conquering cancer and neurology.
Cheng Qian received unanimous praise, so naturally she had to drink.
She couldn't drink much, and two glasses of red wine was her limit. At this moment, her face was slightly hot, with a bright color, and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be stained with mountain mist, with a hazy beauty.
Ji Yichen knew she was a rookie when he saw her like this, so he immediately handed her a glass of lemonade and said, "Don't be stubborn. They don't know much about the drinking culture in China. It's okay if they don't drink it."
"Thank you, Brother Yichen." Cheng Qian said gratefully.
On the other side, Li Zhinan seemed to be dealing with the conversations around him. His deep eyes were cold as he looked across the crowd at Cheng Qian.
Seeing that her face turned red from drinking, he snorted in his heart.
He knew best how much she could drink.
Previously, at a family dinner, a relative urged me to drink one more glass of wine, and a quarrel broke out in the car.
Li Zhinan has a bad habit. When it comes to that matter, he doesn't like it in bed.
Therefore, I have left many passionate and profound memories in the car.
Maybe it was because he was thinking about the past scandals, but Li Zhinan also felt a little hot.
He tugged at his tie.
In Cheng Yan's eyes, this action was extremely sexy and seductive.
"Zhi Nan, what's wrong? Are you drunk?" Cheng Yan was always paying attention to Li Zhi Nan's emotions and was gentle and concerned.
"No!" Li Zhinan stopped thinking in time.
Cheng Qian walked towards the bathroom, but before she went in, she heard people gossiping inside.
"Is that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family who's been so popular recently? She's so beautiful."
"I'm so pretty, talented, and have such a great figure. God, please let me look like this in my next life."
"To be honest, when I was little, I thought this was how I would be when I grew up."
"Stop daydreaming. Haven't you seen the men surrounding her? They're all second-generation successors with high hopes of taking over."
"Li Zhinan is so handsome. I heard he's still single. Cheng Yan was photographed entering and leaving a hotel with him. Maybe Cheng Yan is the best candidate for Mrs. Li."
"Is Mr. Li single? But I remember that he seemed to be married."
"That's impossible. He's getting married, so why haven't I ever seen his wife?"
Someone immediately laughed at him: "Maybe his wife is just not good looking and can't be brought out."
Cheng Qian walked in, and the gossiping women quickly dispersed.
Cheng Qian leaned against the glass table, looked at herself in the mirror with rosy cheeks, and thought about the gossip of those women just now.
So, in these four years, Li Zhinan never appeared in the same frame with her outside. Was it because he disliked her and couldn't take her out?
It doesn’t matter. Cheng Qian doesn’t like socializing outside anyway.
Cheng Qian had makeup on her face and she put on some lipstick before coming out.
A strong arm stretched out from the side of the corridor.
Cheng Qian was dragged by a powerful force towards the garden on the other side of the corridor.
The familiar cold fragrance made Cheng Qian recognize the other person instantly.
"Li Zhinan, let me go." Cheng Qian was really annoyed.
This man always pulled her at every turn and showed no respect at all.
Li Zhinan loosened his hand and stared at her with his eyes lowered.
Looking at her cold and pale face, it now glows with a bright luster like peach blossoms in March.
A pair of amber eyes, intoxicating and seductive.
Li Zhinan had seen her charming and innocent look before.
Because he had seen it before in the car, he thought that she was giving other men opportunities by getting drunk.
"End the trip immediately and go home." Li Zhinan demanded sternly.
Cheng Qian thought he was ridiculous. He brought his female companion to the banquet, but asked her to go home.
"No, I have something else to do." Cheng Qian said, turning around to leave.
Li Zhinan pushed her shoulders back. He was very tall and exuded a dangerous aura.
The wall lamp above his head fell into his eyes filled with anger.
"Cheng Qian, your son is still young and she needs you." Li Zhinan knew that she was stubborn and would not accept a hard approach, so he could only adopt a strategy.
Cheng Qian was pressed by him like this, with her back against the wall. There was not enough heating here, and she felt cold.
"Li Zhinan, you don't need to teach me how to do things." After saying this, Cheng Qian struggled to break free from his arms, turned around, and returned to the banquet hall.
When Li Zhinan returned to the banquet hall again, his face became even gloomier.
Cheng Qian also felt that it was getting late and she wanted to go back first.
It just so happens that we have almost finished discussing things here.
"You've been drinking and can't drive. I'll ask the driver to take you home." Ji Yichen always kept the old man's instructions in mind and was determined to ensure Cheng Qian's safety.
"Thank you for your help. I'll go first. Thank you, Brother Yichen, for your help tonight." Cheng Qian was sincerely grateful to him.
"Don't be polite, it's my duty." Ji Yichen smiled and sent her to the first floor lobby.
The driver drove the car to the door. Cheng Qian took her coat and put it on, then said goodbye to Ji Yichen.
Ji Yichen had just sent Cheng Qian away when he turned around and saw Li Zhinan coming over with a unhappy look on his face.
Cheng Yan still followed him.
"Yichen, since you're on your way, please take Cheng Yan home." Li Zhinan knew that Ji Yichen's villa was right next to the Cheng family's.
Ji Yichen nodded with a smile: "No problem."
Cheng Yan gently instructed Li Zhinan's driver before getting into Ji Yichen's passenger seat.
Cheng Yan unbuttoned her coat in the passenger seat and dozed quietly against the back of the chair, exuding a lazy charm.
"Is Mr. Ji very familiar with my cousin?" Cheng Yan suddenly asked while listening to the song.
Ji Yichen smiled and said, "My dad is a friend of his parents. I only treat her as my sister."
When Cheng Yan heard the word "sister", her red lips curved up and she smiled, "You treat my cousin as your sister? Congratulations on having such an outstanding sister."
Ji Yichen also felt honored: "I am also very happy to have such a sister."
When Cheng Yan learned this was the reason, she felt much more relieved.
Before returning to China, Ji Yichen had a good impression of Cheng Yan.
But after returning to China, when he heard his father and Cheng Qian mention the incident of the Cheng family stealing the experimental results, Ji Yichen changed his opinion of the Cheng family.
Although Cheng Yan is innocent, every penny of the wealth and glory she enjoys is stained with the hard work of Cheng Qian's parents.
To say that she is innocent is not really innocent.
Ji Yichen sent Cheng Yan to the door of the villa.
Cheng Yan took the opportunity to invite: "Mr. Ji, would you like to come home for a cup of tea? My dad may not be asleep yet, so we can talk about investment."
