Wen Ning opened him up! He really wanted to help him, but there was no chance.
She didn't dare to stay any longer, who knew if he would touch her again.
Biting Yanran's lips, she looked around and saw no one was outside the study, so she ran out quickly.
Li Beichen leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette while rolling his throat, and looked at her back as cautiously as a thief.
He took a puff of cigarette and chuckled.
She left, but a touch of womanly fragrance remained, faintly echoing in Li Beichen's heart.
The man recalled kissing her just now in this small screen, and couldn't help but lick his thin lips.
This sneaky feeling made him obsessed with her and his heartbeat couldn't stop.
-
Wen Ning did not dare to look for Li Chengyu, but first found a bathroom and hid in it.
Just now, Li Beichen ate all the lipstick in a daze, so I had to touch up my makeup.
After doing all this, she took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom and returned to the banquet hall.
"Ning Ning! Where did you go? You didn't answer my phone calls. I've been looking for you."
Li Chengyu saw her figure and immediately came over, with worry on his gentle face.
Seeing this, Wen Ning felt guilty in his heart.
She hurriedly flipped her hair and said, "Chengyu, I'm sorry, I just saw you and Minister Liang chatting, so I went to the bathroom. Because the dress was uncomfortable, I spent a long time adjusting in it."
She made random excuses.
"Is that so?" Li Chengyu's eyes darkened.
He had also looked for the bathroom just now and asked the lady to go in and ask, but he didn't see her in the bathroom at all.
She lied to him.
Moreover, it seems that Li Beichen was not seen in the banquet hall just now!
Maybe, the two of them will meet...
Li Chengyu slowly held the red wine glass with his hand on his side, but with a smile on his face, "As long as you're okay.
I had the opportunity to chat with Minister Liang for a while, and he asked about you and said that he admired you for being a strong business woman at a young age, and he invited us to have dinner together later."
Wen Ning actually didn't like to make friends with people in high positions.
What she is good at is business management, not socializing and flattering. Especially three years ago, when Li Beichen suspected that she was using her beauty to get around in the mall, her self-esteem was hit hard. For many years after that, she paid special attention to the relationship with her.
Clients or leaders keep their distance.
Now that I have Ruitian Jewelry, I have enough money.
She no longer wants to socialize desperately, she just wants to live a simple life.
But Li Chengyu opened his mouth, obviously wanting her to support the scene. She couldn't refuse easily, so she could only nod.
During the social gathering, Wen Ning was teased by the big shots and drank a lot of wine.
Li Chengyu blocked some, then took her to have a rest, and poured a cup of tea enthusiastically, "Ning Ning, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect Minister Liang and the others like to drink so much. I'll deal with it next, and you'll be patient."
Wen Ning glanced at him with a headache.
At this time, Li Chengyu seemed to be at home like a fish in water. He looked elegant but was able to socialize with ease.
Wen Ning slightly recalled Li Beichen's words.
While Li Chengyu was rubbing her hair with a smile, he suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Chengyu, your main purpose of coming here tonight is to get to know Minister Liang, because he is the candidate for vice president next year?"
Li Chengyu's palm froze. Where did she hear about it?
However, after a few seconds, he regained his composure and said with a look of helplessness on his face, "Ning Ning, I really came to the banquet because I was worried about you.
But I was quite surprised to meet Minister Liang, and I thought I would make acquaintance with him by the way.
You don't know that Li's audit, taxation and foreign trade companies all need some inside information.
In the past, we didn't get inside information from these officials in time, so development was very slow.
It is an opportunity for me to get to know some parliamentarians and ministers this time. I hope you can understand."
"Yes, I understand." Wen Ning lightly touched his lips to him, but added, "Next time you can tell me directly, I won't mind, but I do mind if you beat around the bush, Cheng Yu... you should understand
, I wish you would be more honest with me."
"...Okay, I was negligent. Wife, please calm down."
Li Chengyu smiled flatteringly, and when he turned to leave, his elegant face immediately became embarrassed.
Wen Ning's beating was like a slap in the face for his excuse last night.
It wasn't obvious what he did tonight.
Maybe... this woman met Li Beichen, and Li Beichen instigated her to become suspicious, right?
This bitch man.
After Li Chengyu left, he did not go back to continue to curry favor with the dignitaries. Instead, he found a corner to meet with Gu Xicheng.
Gu Xicheng was biting his cigarette butt and seemed to be in a very gloomy mood.
"Mr. Li, I was just looking for you to help me come up with an idea. I must deal with Li Beichen severely tonight. It's best to let him die."
Li Chengyu was so flashy that it coincided with him.
He pretended to raise his eyebrows and smiled, "Young Master Gu, why do you suddenly hate him so much?"
"Is it sudden?" Gu Xicheng sneered coldly, "He is not qualified to participate in this banquet in the first place. It's fine that he can't see Fu Shendong.
It would have been fine if Su Chun had taken the opportunity to drive him away just now.
Unexpectedly, Si Xiuyuan suddenly helped him!
Si Xiuyuan is Minister Liang's distant nephew. This person is difficult to deal with.
And just now my uncle said that Fu Shendong seemed to be asking about Li Beichen. Why did he ask the Su family? Did he hear some rumors and test our grievances with Li Beichen?
In short, Li Beichen is here to direct and destroy the Su family's plan."
Li Chengyu understood. Gu Xicheng was worried that Fu Shendong would change his mind about Li Beichen and he would jump over the wall.
He held the wine glass, squinted his eyes and smiled slowly, "Young Master Gu, given Li Beichen's current status that no one cares about, isn't it easy for you to want him to die? Even if something goes wrong, the Li family probably won't be able to make trouble.
."
Gu Xicheng stared at him, cautiously, "We can't kill him here. This is the Fu family manor. It's a sensitive period for cooperation. I can't offend Fu Shendong."
"What if the ghost is unaware? You must teach Li Beichen a lesson."
Li Chengyu twirled his wine glass and laughed. Gu Xicheng leaned close to his ear and said viciously, "Do you have an idea?"
-
Ten p.m.
The banquet at the Fu family manor gradually ended.
Li Chengyu took Wen Ning away with him. Just two kilometers after the car drove out of the curve, Wen Ning suddenly received a call from Si Xiuyuan.
"Wen Ning, are you still at the Fu Family Manor? Or have you left?"
Although Si Xiuyuan's voice was calm, Wen Ning could hear something unusual.
She answered doubtfully, "I have already left. What's the matter? Is there anything going on in the manor?"
"I heard your voice is fine, that's good." Si Xiuyuan let out a low sigh of relief, "Yes, something happened in the Fu family villa. You didn't even know that the two-story glass greenhouse next to the villa suddenly suddenly
exploded!"
Wen Ning's heart stopped violently, "It's so good, how could it explode? Is there anyone inside?"
