Lu Wanwan looked at him thoughtfully: "Are we friends?"
Li Xiangchen nodded: "I hope so."
Lu Wanwan was caught off guard and asked: "Before that, can you answer me first, did you ask Bai Qingluo to seduce your elder brother at Mr. Zhong's birthday party?"
Under Li Xiangchen's slightly condensed expression, Lu Wanwan returned all his words: "You said you wanted to be friends with me, so I asked. You can choose not to answer."
But in this case, she won't regard him as a friend, right?
Li Xiangchen looked at her for a long time, then suddenly suppressed his smile and said seriously: "What do you think, sister-in-law? Although I am the second young master of the Li family, I have always had an unfair reputation because of my biological mother.
Since childhood, people have said that the three of us, brother and sister, entered the Li family and competed with my eldest brother for the family property. Later, I temporarily took over the Li Group from my eldest brother, and even put me on the grill of public opinion.
My eldest brother and I are always competing with each other. If I didn’t have any means, I would never be able to stand upright in the industry."
These words, which were almost acquiescence, made Lu Wanwan's face turn cold: "Even if it is competition, it should be upright, right?"
Li Xiangchen sighed: "Then the eldest brother didn't allow us, mother and son, to eat at the table before, and now he suppresses me everywhere in the company. Is this fair?"
Lu Wanwan hesitated for a moment and then said: "So, Bai Qingluo is just a pawn in your game. You don't love her at all, and you just enjoy taking away the person you love from your eldest brother?"
Li Xiangchen was well versed in conversation skills: "Have you ever thought about whether Bai Qingluo really loves me? If she doesn't want to, can I still control her legs and let her walk into eldest brother's room?"
Lu Wanwan pursed her lips: "Then how do I know that you don't regard me as the second Bai Qingluo now?"
"Time can prove everything." Li Xiangchen replied: "No matter how much I fight with my eldest brother, I never want to hurt you."
Lu Wanwan shook his head: "But if Bai Qingluo succeeds that day, my marriage with your eldest brother will break up. Is this what you said you never wanted to hurt me?"
Li Xiangchen secretly changed the concept and said: "Once Bai Qingluo succeeds, it just means that my eldest brother is not worthy of your reliance. You should thank me for testing his true nature for you."
"..." Lu Wanwan laughed angrily. He was right no matter what.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't be angry with me." In the blink of an eye, Li Xiangchen turned back to the non-aggressive man: "If you don't eat anymore, the food will get cold."
...
On the other side, the treatment center.
Seeing a luxury car suddenly parked at the door, a worker who was demolishing the house immediately ran out and said: "Sir, it's very dangerous here. You'd better not park your car here."
But Li Jingchen stared at everything burned in front of him and forgot to respond.
Seeing this, the worker couldn't help but ask: "Sir, are you here to find someone?"
Li Jingchen, who simply drove here because he thought the investigation was too slow, did not expect to see such a scene.
"What's going on here?"
The worker said: "There was a fire here a few nights ago. The teachers and children inside almost couldn't get out. I heard from residents living nearby that the firefighters, doctors and nurses at the time couldn't save them."
Li Jingchen's voice tightened: "Is there any news report?"
The worker thought for a moment and said, "...No, I didn't see it anyway. I'm probably afraid that it would be reported and it would have a bad impact."
Bad impact?
"If someone is burned to death inside, it will easily become a haunted house. Who would dare to leave their children here in the future?"
There is a sense of danger in every line of the workers' words, which makes Li Jingchen feel like he is there even if he is not in it.
So, what was his wife Li's mood when she called him?
