Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Tang Xin unconsciously lowered her head the moment she saw his terrifying glare. “I’m sorry, I was only helping you change your wallet,” she said apologetically.Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
“You were the one who brought the new wallet here?” His voice got even colder.
Tang Xin nodded before quickly shaking her head. “I saw your new wallet being delivered here when I came back, so I brought it up for you of my own accord,” her voice became softer as she spoke.
“Not only did you act of your own accord, you were also being presumptuous!” Li Yunshen snorted coldly before picking up his mobile phone and dialing a number. “Wen Xi, do you know what you did wrong?”
“Yes, I had someone else do what I was supposed to do. I’ll take my punishment, Boss.”
As it was so quiet, Tang Xin could hear clearly what Wen Xi said over the phone. She lowered her head in guilt as she squeezed her dress with her fair and delicate fingers.
Would she not have been punished if she had told the truth just now?
After hanging up, Li Yunshen gazed at her coldly and gave her a warning, “Don’t play mind games with me, you are still too inexperienced!”
It wasn’t until after he left that Tang Xin felt that she could breathe again.
…
“Li Yunshen, what the hell are you doing! Are you trying to destroy Li Enterprise by replacing all the staff above supervisor level?” Li Haodong’s furious voice came from the phone.
Standing on the balcony outside the study room, Li Yunshen flicked the cigarette ash between his fingers and took a puff. His grim face behind the thin smoke was reflected on the French window.
“Destroying Li Enterprise is nothing more than a snap of the fingers to Hidden, there’s no need for me to go through all the trouble. But it’ll be time to do so after I’m done with Tang Enterprise, and also… you!”
Even through the phone, Li Haodong was frightened by his tone. “I won’t let you do this!”
After hanging up the phone angrily, Li Haodong collapsed on the leather sofa as if he had just finished a life-and-death negotiation.
“Dad, you didn’t manage to talk things over?” Li Haodong’s eldest son, Li Zhi, came in. He had fine features that brought natural calmness to him.
“Talk things over? How is that possible when that kid is determined to take revenge? Why do you think Tang Qian had to let a lunatic marry into the Li family? The Tang family had no choice but to do that as compensation! They had no choice but to send a lunatic over.”
“Compensation? What does the Tang family owe our family, Dad?” Li Zhi was shocked.
“A life!!”
“Is that life… the one who mattered most to Brother Yun?”
Li Haodong nodded.
Li Zhi collapsed on the sofa in shock, burying his face in his palms. A vague little figure appeared in his mind — it was the little figure that the three brothers had bullied when they were young. Later on, the little figure seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Goodness! If that was the case, then… with Li Yunshen’s current status and way of doing things, he definitely wouldn’t let him and his two brothers off.
“Dad, is that life… Xia Zhixing?” He remembered that that was the girl’s name.
Li Haodong nodded remorsefully.
“So… how did that girl die?”
“Stop asking!” Li Haodong cut him off, “Don’t bring up this matter again!”
It was a taboo that wasn’t allowed to be brought up as it had been cursed.
Li Yunshen snubbed out the cigarette on the crystal ash tray at the side and opened the new wallet that had been changed. As he gently touched the photo inside with his fingertips, his cold, sharp eyes softened.
“Don’t worry, Xingxing, I will not let anyone who has hurt you off! They will suffer a fate worse than you did…”
As he held the wallet tightly in his hand, the menace between his brows appeared again. Closing his eyes, the kind and lively little girl was resurrected in his memory, but memories were all she would ever be.
