Chapter 26 There are cracks in the relationship, and sooner or later, there will be a breakup
Without saying a word, Lin Si took Cheng Qian's hand and rushed in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a group of people sitting inside, all dressed formally in suits.
It was a large suite, and where they sat was more like a conference room.
Li Zhinan sat in the chief seat, the Cheng family father and daughter were also there, as well as more than a dozen men and women who looked like high-ranking officials.
A set of experimental data is being played on the giant screen next to it.
"What... is going on?" Lin Si was confused.
Cheng Qian quickly realized what was happening and apologized: "Sorry, we went to the wrong place."
After saying that, Cheng Qian grabbed Lin Si's arm, walked out and closed the door.
Lin Si looked at Cheng Qian awkwardly: "Xiao Qian, the information is wrong."
Cheng Qian also felt quite embarrassed, but she did not blame her friend. Instead, she said gently, "It's okay."
"Will Li Gou guess why we're here?" Lin Si said worriedly, "Will he be wary of this in the future?"
Cheng Qian sighed softly: "It's okay, he hugged her openly, why would he care?"
Lin Si nodded, thinking it made sense.
After Cheng Qian left, the atmosphere in the hotel suite remained silent for a few seconds.
"Continue!" Li Zhinan ordered in a deep voice.
The meeting continues.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Cheng Yan's eyes on her haggard face.
Could Cheng Qian be here to catch someone cheating?
Look at her petty appearance, she is not presentable at all.
Cheng Yan instantly gained a little more confidence in the future.
After the meeting, Li Zhinan left the hotel, and the senior executives also left one after another.
Cheng and his daughter were sitting in the living room.
Cheng Zhifei said while smoking, "We need to find the person who posted this as soon as possible. We can't let President Li know about this."
Cheng Yan turned a pointer next to her and said, "We've sent someone to look for her. We can find her just by knowing her IP address."
Cheng Zhifei took a deep breath. "From the meeting just now, it was clear that President Li was very disappointed with us. Will this affect the second phase of funding?"
Cheng Yan was confused for a moment and said, "Dad, don't worry, it won't have any impact."
"Do you have any ideas?" Cheng Zhifei looked at his daughter with hope on his face.
Cheng Yan raised her lips and smiled: "Dad, guess what Cheng Qian and her friends came here for just now?"
Cheng Zhifei frowned: "Isn't it true that we came to the wrong place?"
Cheng Yan sneered, "You believe such a lame excuse."
Cheng Zhifei thought carefully: "Could it be that he suspected Boss Li and came here to catch you in an affair? Did he secretly follow you?"
Cheng Yan laughed out loud instantly: "That's right, Cheng Qian came here to catch someone cheating. At the same time, it also proves that there is really a problem in her relationship with Zhinan."
"Dad, didn't you see Zhinan's expression just now? He must be fed up with Cheng Qian's suspicions." Cheng Yan said as she breathed a sigh of relief: "Men hate women's suspicions the most. A marriage without trust is not far from disintegration."
Cheng Zhifei laughed instantly: "Xiaoyan, you are really smart. You can see through it at a glance. Cheng Qian's parents are both dead. Now, the Li family is her only home. Of course, she will cling to it like a life-saving straw."
"Men don't like this kind of relationship. It's suffocating." Cheng Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. "The tighter you hold the sand in your hand, the faster it leaks."
"Xiaoyan, you have to work harder. Since you understand men's minds so well, Daddy won't have to worry about anything." Cheng Zhifei patted his daughter's arm and said, "Marry into the Li family soon. By then, will Daddy still need to look after others' faces?"
Cheng Yan nodded, looking determined: "Dad, don't worry, there are already cracks in their relationship, and they will get divorced sooner or later."
"Find that fingertip elf and convince her to join the team to develop new drugs as soon as possible. The launch can be delayed, but the company is waiting for the listing to raise funds." Cheng Zhifei instructed his daughter.
…
As the sky grew darker, Cheng Qian was in the yard, playing ball with her son.
A silver Bentley drove into the courtyard.
The strong headlights tore through the darkness.
The car stopped, and Xiao Ye ran over quickly with his short legs, calling out in a baby voice: "Daddy is back, Daddy will hold me!"
The car door opened and Li Zhinan walked out with his long legs.
Bending down, he gently held his son in his arms, lowered his head and kissed him several times: "Do you miss your dad?"
The little guy stretched out his hands to hold Li Zhinan's handsome face, kissed him and said, "I miss you."
Li Zhinan looked at Cheng Qian who was standing next to him.
Although his deep eyes didn't say anything, Cheng Qian still felt ashamed.
She lowered her head, adjusted the hair beside her ear, and waited for the man's questioning.
Li Zhinan just took a look and went upstairs with his son in his arms without asking any questions.
Cheng Qian was stunned, then she pulled the corner of her lips and smiled.
Yes, why would he care what she did? Whether she went to the wrong place or really went to catch an adulterer, it was all a joke to Li Zhinan.
Since it was just a joke, Li Zhinan wouldn't mention it anymore.
Cheng Qian had digested this matter by herself, and Li Zhinan did not talk about it at the dinner table.
After dinner, Cheng Qian handed her son to him and went back to her study to work.
At around 9:30, Li Zhinan had already finished bathing himself and his son.
He stood at the door of her study holding the child, watching her staring at the computer intently.
Li Zhinan suddenly asked, "Cheng Qian, the Cheng family's new drug failed. Have you made any progress?"
Cheng Qian looked back at him in surprise and said, "Xiaowei's disease is caused by genes. It will be very difficult to find a breakthrough at the moment."
Li Zhinan was instantly shocked when he heard this. He laughed at himself and said, "That's right. You haven't made any progress in the past four years. What hope do I have?"
Cheng Qian calmly replied, "My father has done a lot of research before, and he's also trying to make a breakthrough in this area, but it's just too difficult."
"I understand." Li Zhinan's voice turned colder, and he turned and left.
Cheng Qian stared at the computer screen. She had already sorted out all of her father's notes. The densely packed data on it made Cheng Qian's eyes tired.
The Spring Festival has passed, and on the fifth day of the New Year, people from all over the country are visiting relatives and friends.
Cheng Qian was invited by Ji Nan to have lunch at his place at noon.
Cheng Qian happened to have some work-related matters to ask him, so she agreed.
Li Zhinan didn't go out today, so Cheng Qian knocked on his study door and said, "I have something to do at noon. Can you take care of Xiaoye?"
Li Zhinan just glanced back at her and continued to stare at his computer screen.
Cheng Qian went out at eleven o'clock. The little guy wanted to follow her eagerly, but was picked up by a big hand.
"Dad, I want to go out and play too..." Xiao Ye started to make a fuss.
Li Zhinan lowered his head and comforted: "Okay, Dad will take you out."
Only then did Ono burst into laughter and stopped making a fuss.
Ji family!
Ji Nan invited many friends from the scientific research community to come over for a gathering, and there were four tables in total in the villa.
When Cheng Qian came over, Ji Nan took her around and greeted everyone, which showed how much he valued her.
Ji Yichen’s number one pursuer, He Xue, is here too.
Although she was a guest, she helped out by running around and preparing lunch.
Ji Nan's wife was still abroad, and there was no hostess at home. He Xue seized the opportunity and filled this gap.
When He Xue accompanied Ji Yichen from the wine shop and walked into the living room with drinks, she saw Cheng Qian.
Ji Yichen immediately walked over: "Sister Xiaoqian is here."
Cheng Qian turned around and smiled politely: "Brother Yichen!"
He Xue gripped the basket tightly, anger flashing in her eyes.
Cheng Qian came here today not only for dinner, but also for something more important.
She wanted to ask Ji Nan about genetic research. Ji Nan had worked in a foreign research institute for more than ten years and might have found a breakthrough in this area.
After saying hello, Ji Nan took Cheng Qian upstairs.
Ji Yichen followed naturally.
When He Xue saw this scene, her back teeth were about to break.
