After Divorce: Pursued by Cohabiting Boss

Chapter 101: Gone to the Study



Chapter 101

On the other side, the Li family.

Li Zhen was on the second floor with Old Master Li, looking down at the brightly lit living room of the villa.

Yu Sheng accompanied Li Yinnan by his side.

He was completely the core of this banquet, with everyone coming over to toast him in turns.

Old Master Li was carefree, "Zhen'er, now Yinnan is using Yu Sheng's fame to develop the Li family business. But when your divorce from Yu Sheng becomes public, then your father..."

"Grandpa, that's not something I should worry about. He wanted to rely on Yu Sheng to win over these businesses early on, so he should have considered the worst possible outcome," Li Zhen said indifferently. The lights shone brightly on her pretty face.

Li Yinnan had never paid any attention to her from when she was little to when she grew up.

And now he wanted to rely on her to bring the Li family up another level?

Old Master Li sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to interfere in the matters of the younger generation anymore. The mistakes his son made back then would have to be repaid one day. Whether the outcome was good or bad would be decided by time.

After a while, Li Zhen sent Old Master Li back to his room.

She looked around. The hustle and bustle was all in the living room and no one would notice her. She walked upstairs towards Li Yinnan and Lin Zhiyin's study.

The door of the study was closed.

With a "click" Li Zhen easily opened it. She looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then went in and closed the door behind her.

Li Yanran had previously said Lin Zhiyin had a video of their mother.

It would either be stored on the computer in the study, or it would be made into a CD or tape and also kept in the study.

Li Zhen first turned on the computer, but there was a password.

She tried some possible number combinations but they were all wrong.

She could only give up on that.

She searched through the bookshelves and drawers, carefully looking at the labels on them.

In the living room, Li Yinnan had drunk quite a lot of red wine. His face was flushed and he was spirited.

The contracts signed over the past two days were far more than those signed over the past two years.

Li Yinnan was engaged in an animated discussion with someone next to him.

Yu Sheng glanced at the two immersed in conversation. He inconspicuously left the living room and went out to the balcony.

He put down his wine glass on the small tea table, sat down on the recliner, and rested his forehead on his hand.

The alcohol brought a numbing heaviness. His temples throbbed violently. His stomach felt nauseous like he wanted to vomit. The whip scars on his back and chest stung sharply.

"Brother-in-law." Li Yanran's tender voice sounded.

Yu Sheng frowned in irritation and glanced at her indifferently.

Li Yanran handed over a glass of water and gently said, "Brother-in-law, I just had the kitchen specially make this sobering tea for you."

"No need." Yu Sheng's gaze was far too cold.

It was alright, he just didn't know her good intentions, Li Yanran comforted herself.

She forced herself to reveal an ingratiating smile again, "Brother-in-law, have a sip, I can see you're quite uncomfortable."

She bent over slightly and put the glass of water on the small tea table.

At the same time, she deliberately pulled down the neckline of her dress slowly, intentionally bringing her ample cleavage into Yu Sheng's view.

He had been drinking, and such a spring scene wouldn't be ignored by a drunk man.

Li Yanran was feeling pleased with herself.

But then she heard a "bleh" sound...

Seeing it made Yu Sheng feel sick with anger, and he couldn't help but threw up.

He vomited right onto Li Yanran's chest.

That was Li Yanran's proudest asset.

But now...

"Ah!" Li Yanran's face twisted. The sticky, filthy feeling nearly drove her crazy.

She lifted her skirt and rushed upstairs.

After throwing up, Yu Sheng's stomach felt much more relaxed, but his head grew heavier and heavier.

In the living room, Li Yinnan saw Li Yanran run upstairs without regard for appearances. He called the butler over, "What's wrong with Yanran?"

"Her dress got dirty. The young miss went upstairs to change," the butler respectfully replied.

Li Yinnan nodded and waved his hand to indicate he could leave.

But the butler didn't go, his gaze hesitant.

Li Yinnan looked at him, "Anything else?"

The butler hesitated for two seconds before saying in a low voice, "The young miss went to the study just now..."

Li Yinnan's eyebrows furrowed and he strode upstairs.

His heart rapidly sank.

There were that woman's belongings in the study.

If she had become suspicious and went to look for the video...

A trace of coldness flashed through Li Yinnan's eyes.

When he got to the study door,

he pushed it open with force.

Sure enough.

Li Zhen was inside!

But she was currently leisurely lying on the couch, holding a plate of fruit in her hand, reading while eating.

She was even reading the romance novels Li Yanran left in the study. The gaudy cover had large font titles like "The Cold CEO Fell Madly in Love with Me".

"Dad, why did you come to the study when you have guests to entertain downstairs?" Hearing the noise, Li Zhen put down her book, revealing her puzzled gaze.

Li Yinnan's expression relaxed a little. He rebuked, "Why are you reading this stuff? There are some books on finance, you should read more of those."

In the future when Yu Sheng takes over the Yu Group, Li Zhen would also need some financial knowledge to help the Li family influence things.

"Those books give me a headache just looking at them." Li Zhen picked up the book again and hid her face behind it.

That was close.

She heard Li Yanran noisily go upstairs, so she guessed Li Yinnan would notice the movement upstairs.

She was about to leave the study when she just happened to hear the heavy, urgent footsteps of a man.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, once Li Yinnan became suspicious and vigilant, it would become difficult for her to find her mother's video again.

"Since you can't get into the finance books, then don't read them. Come downstairs with me, you should also meet some of my business associates." Li Yinnan said heavily.

Li Zhen got up and took out the contract from her bag, "Dad, since we're in the study already, let's revise the contract."

Li Yinnan wouldn't go back on his word, so he turned and used his fingerprint to open the safe, taking out the contract.

Li Zhen took this second to quickly glance inside it.

Li Yinnan's safe was very big, nearly a man's height tall. Aside from a large amount of cash and gold taking up half the space, there were also some documents and another small box.

Li Zhen had just noticed the small box when Li Yinnan closed the safe door.

The process went very smoothly. Li Zhen took the revised contract and put it in her bag, "Dad, it's getting late, Yu Sheng and I will go first."

Li Yinnan's eyebrows furrowed, "You got the contract and now you're leaving just like that?"

"Yu Sheng is unwell today. He's been here accompanying you for an hour already, that's enough." Li Zhen shouldered her bag and headed downstairs.

Li Yinnan didn't try to stop her either.

Yu Sheng making an appearance and greeting almost everyone was already sufficient.

Li Zhen went downstairs but didn't see him around. She looked around and discovered he was on the balcony.

He had fallen asleep.

The sound of music and chatter were interwoven in the living room.

Yu Sheng was sleeping soundly on the balcony. His tall body was squeezed onto the recliner. His handsome face was slightly flushed, probably from the alcohol taking effect.

"Yu Sheng, let's go." Li Zhen called out.

The person on the recliner didn't react.

Li Zhen went over and pushed him, "Yu Sheng..."

When she got close, she realized something was off. Yu Sheng's face was too red.

Li Zhen touched his forehead. It was burning hot.
