However, he didn't expose her, and just acted as if nothing had happened, chuckling as he continued discussing the contract with Li Ruo.
This time, the project he presented was not to be underestimated by the Bai family.
Even if you act on emotion, you must be cautious.
The two spent the entire afternoon preparing, planning, and arranging some details of the project.
After the obligations and responsibilities of both parties were clearly defined, it was already getting dark.
Shirakawa glanced at the neon lights that had already lit up outside the window and spoke first: "Since everything has been agreed upon, I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, I'll have Xiao He give you a ride."
Li Ruo nodded and immediately prepared to call Xiao He in.
Since the two are now in a cooperative relationship, regardless of their previous impressions, the proper formalities still need to be observed.
"Small……"
Before she could even speak, Shirakawa gave a wry smile and teased, "I thought you'd try to persuade me to stay and invite me to dinner."
After all, he brought such a large project with him, which solved the Li family's urgent problem.
This request shouldn't be considered too unreasonable.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo didn't hesitate and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I have something to do tonight. If I have the chance later, I will definitely host a banquet for Young Master Bai to thank him in person."
It's not that she's still somewhat resistant to confronting Bai Chuan, it's just that Wen Huaiyan is still injured and left in anger earlier, so she doesn't know how he is.
After all, that man had saved her life.
She can't just abandon it like this!
Bai Chuan wasn't stupid. Li Ruo had already made it so obvious, how could he not see what she was thinking?
However, he didn't point it out, but just chuckled and said, "Then Mr. Li, would it be alright if you personally escorted me?"
It's getting late, and if I refuse, there will probably be another tug-of-war.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo pursed her red lips and gave him a smile: "Of course."
The two went downstairs and exchanged a few more casual words. Seeing that Li Ruo was absent-minded, Bai Chuan didn't want to make a fool of himself and got into his car and left.
After seeing the person off, it was time to get off work. Li Ruo called Xiao He to give him a few instructions, and then took a taxi directly to the hospital.
On the way, she seriously considered more than once whether or not she should explain to Wen Huaiyan later.
But when she thought of the man's cold gaze, a sense of unease flashed through her heart.
After getting off the bus, she suppressed her complicated thoughts and rushed to the ward.
But upon entering, they found the house completely empty!
Even the bed sheets and duvet covers had been changed and were neatly folded and placed on the bed, showing no signs of anyone having lived there.
Where are the other people who heard the Huaiyan inkstone?
Upon seeing this, Li Ruo paused slightly, even wondering if she had entered the wrong ward.
She subconsciously stepped back to glance at the door number: "302, that's right..."
After confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong place, Li Ruo realized something and hurriedly rushed to the nurses' station to ask, "Nurse, I want to ask, where is the patient in VIP room 302?"
"302".
The nurse repeated herself and checked the computer. She quickly replied, "You mean Mr. Wen? He was discharged this afternoon and has already been discharged."
"Discharged from the hospital?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo was shocked, but also felt a little disappointed.
It seems... he really believed it!
Her expression froze, and she felt a complex emotion welling up inside her, instinctively wanting to find someone to explain.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, he came back to his senses.
Wen Huaiyan was indeed outstanding; she had never met anyone better than him.
But so what... Having been given a second chance at life, all she wants is revenge!
We can't... put the cart before the horse!
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and forced a smile at the nurse: "Thank you!"
...
At the same time, at the Wen family's doorstep.
In a corner, a bodyguard was reporting something to Wen Changfeng with a serious expression: "Mr. Wen, this is absolutely true. I saw the police go to Wen's and arrest Director Xiao. This time, Li Ruo has taken decisive action and cleaned up a group of corrupt officials. I've asked around, and Song's has now returned to normal operations. Everything will be back on track soon."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Changfeng frowned in surprise and hurriedly asked, "What about Li Ruo? Is there still anyone opposing her?"
Although the development of the Li family is none of his business, it would be even better if he could cause Li Ruo some trouble.
However, the bodyguard shook his head: "Director Xiao is a cautionary tale. Now that even she has gotten into trouble, who would still oppose Li Ruo?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Changfeng couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse, "That useless Xiao Yue! I spent so much money on her, and she can't even handle this little thing. She deserves to be arrested!"
When he collaborated with Li Daocheng, he paid a high price to elevate this woman to a higher position.
Unfortunately, before they could even plot against the other party, Li Ruo had already taken them down.
This time, he intended to use the same trick again...
But I never expected Xiao Yue to be such a useless person!
It's a complete loss!
