Chapter 166 You are so generous!
I didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
Li Zheng glanced at Yan Ruo awkwardly and forced a smile.
"I've long heard that Mr. Xu clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, and is even more impartial in his official duties. Today I finally saw it for myself."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I will do my best to persuade Dad not to get involved in this mess with the Zhao family."
After Li Zheng left, Yan Ruo stood up and walked to Xu Shaoyu's side, "Mr. Xu is really ruthless. I saw that Miss Li's eyes were red when she left."
"Are you feeling sad?" Xu Shaoyu glanced at her.
Yan Ruo looked puzzled, "Although she is indeed pitiful, I am not a man, why should I feel sorry for her?"
Xu Shaoyu raised the corner of his lips, "So you're jealous?"
"I'm jealous because of what you did?" Yan Ruo asked with suspicion in her eyes. "Could it be that you really have something going on with her?"
"Look at what we looked like just now, does it look like there's something wrong?"
"Maybe you're a better actor."
Yan Ruo snorted lightly, turned around and sat back on the sofa. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask.
"Since the Zhao family is Young Master Li's maternal family, they should also be Second Miss Li's maternal family. Why would she help you deal with the Zhao family?"
Xu Shaoyu quickly signed his name on a document and looked up at her when he heard this.
"I thought you knew all the gossip about the wealthy families in North City."
"The eldest son of the Li family's mother was from the Zhao family, but unfortunately she passed away shortly after he was born. Li Zheng was born to the wife that President Li married later."
Yan Ruo was puzzled. "I've been in Beicheng for so many years, and I don't think I've ever heard of this incident. Even Miss Li Er's presence is very low."
Xu Shaoyu smiled sarcastically, "That's because the Zhao family is afraid that the position of Young Master Li's heir will be threatened, so they are secretly putting pressure on President Li."
It turned out that when Li Zheng's mother married into the Li family, the eldest son of the Li family was less than one year old.
She raised Young Master Li almost as if he were her own child, but the Zhao family always felt that she had ill intentions.
When Li Zheng was born, the Zhao family had a big fuss, but they didn't make a big deal out of it when they found out it was a girl.
It is said that after Li Zheng, Mrs. Li became pregnant again.
The Zhao family bribed the prenatal doctor and found out that it was a boy. They did something unknown but caused Mrs. Li to have a miscarriage.
After this incident, Mrs. Li felt alienated from Mr. Li.
In addition, as Young Master Li grew up and became closer to the Zhao family, his relationship with Madam Li and Li Zheng could not be said to be incompatible, but they could be called the most familiar strangers.
Li Zheng, who had witnessed her mother suffering all kinds of grievances and unfair treatment since childhood, chose to go abroad as soon as she graduated from high school.
Mrs. Li also went abroad to accompany him in his studies.
It is said that when people leave, the tea gets cold, not to mention that Mrs. Li’s family is not as powerful as the Zhao family.
For the sake of the Zhao family and Young Master Li, who would mention two people far away abroad for no reason?
Yan Ruo raised an eyebrow, "In fact, you rich people are the most realistic and snobbish."
Xu Shaoyu narrowed his eyes, "Including me?"
Yan Ruo chuckled, "Except you, okay."
After putting away the last document, Xu Shaoyu stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
"You got off work so quickly today?" Yan Ruo looked at her phone and saw that there were still ten minutes before the end of the get off work day.
"Wait for me a moment. I'm going to do some preparations before work."
Xu Shaoyu looked puzzled, "What should I prepare for after get off work?"
"To the bathroom."
Looking at the figure pushing the door open, Xu Shaoyu finally realized, "There is a restroom in the lounge."
Unfortunately, Yan Ruo walked too fast and didn't hear it at all.
When I got to the bathroom, I was surprised to find that Li Zheng hadn't left yet.
Yan Ruo nodded politely at her, "Ms. Li."
"Miss Yan, can I take a few minutes of your time?" After saying hello, she was about to go inside, but unexpectedly Li Zheng called her.
Yan Ruo was a little confused. They had never met before, so was there anything they could talk about?
Li Zheng looked at her and smiled faintly, "Actually, I've heard of Miss Yan's name a long time ago. Seeing her today, she's indeed even more special than the rumors said."
Yan Ruo tilted her head and said noncommittally, "Ms. Li is also more beautiful than in the photo."
"Those are just fabrications by gossip reporters. Please don't misunderstand me, Miss Yan."
Yan Ruo raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "It's okay, Xu Shaoyu has already explained it to me clearly."
Xu Shaoyu has always been low-key, and his itinerary is generally not known to outsiders. Li Zheng had just returned from abroad.
Even if they were in close contact during that period, they were spotted by gossip reporters so quickly and their photos were taken. If you think about it, you will know what happened.
The smile on Li Zheng's face faded a little, but she still spoke in a gentle manner.
"I admit that it's hard not to be attracted to a man as charming as Mr. Xu, and I'm no exception."
"I had heard that Mr. Xu was single, and I thought I could use this work opportunity to get to know him better, but I didn't expect he already had a girlfriend."
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered with it."
Unexpectedly, she was so frank. Yan Ruo was a little curious, "Why did Miss Li tell me this?"
Li Zheng took out a tissue and wiped her hands.
"It's just to avoid misunderstandings. All the important projects I'm currently working on are carried out in cooperation with the Xu Group. We can't leave any hidden dangers that will affect future cooperation."
"So that's how it is." Yan Ruo couldn't help but chuckle, "Miss Li is really a... straightforward person."
"It seems that Miss Yan is also a rare and insightful person."
Li Zheng called her, as if to explain the matter, and after explaining, she left.
Yan Ruo felt that this was indeed an interesting person.
Even when I returned to the office and saw Xu Shaoyu, I couldn't help but smile.
Xu Shaoyu asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"Originally, I just thought Miss Li was an interesting person, but now that you asked, I think she's actually an interesting and smart person."
Yan Ruo smiled and repeated what Li Zheng had just said.
After listening to this, Xu Shaoyu took her hand and asked as they walked out.
"Since you know she wants to tell me through your mouth, why do you still agree to her wish?"
"Why not?" Yan Ruo reached out and pushed the cleaning vehicle that was blocking the road away.
Xu Shaoyu was no fool, so he naturally knew about Li Zheng's previous little tricks. That was why he spoke so rudely and with a lukewarm attitude today.
Li Zheng obviously noticed it, so she specifically told Yan Ruo about it.
"Anyway, the Xu family has collaborated with the Li family on several projects. This at least proves that they are a smart collaborator and will do no harm."
Xu Shaoyu snorted lightly, "You are quite generous."
When the two arrived at Qinyuan, Su Yue and Song Yichuan had not arrived yet.
On the corridor leading to the private room, a child ran around while his parents were not looking. In order to prevent Xu Shaoyu from being hit, Yan Ruo blocked him.
As a result, a greasy mark was left on the hem of the clothes.
