Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Chapter 1288 Vanished into thin air

When I came outside, there were already quite a few people gathered on the street.

They were talking and pointing in the direction of the Li family.

Just at this time, Li Yao came back from get off work.

He was also holding a few toys in his hands, which were specially prepared for Tongtong and Nian Nian.

As a result, before I got closer, I noticed the strange looks from people around me.

Everyone was avoiding each other and talking in low voices.

Li Yao didn't know the situation, but vaguely guessed that something must have happened at home, so she took a few quick steps.

When Li Yao walked over, the discussions became even louder.

Although Li Yao did not hear the specifics, she could vaguely hear words like "disdain the poor and love the rich" or "climb up the social ladder", as if someone was stabbing her spine.

As the door of home was getting closer, Zhou Hanmei walked out, followed by her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Seeing this, Li Yao finally determined that the discussions were about her.

Without caring about being shy, Li Yao asked coldly, "Auntie Zhou, why did you come to my house?"

Song Ci stepped forward, "Yaoyao, don't worry about this, your elder brother and I are here."

"You go up first, we will take care of it for you."

Li Yao frowned and asked, "Did she go to our house and make trouble again?"

Song Ci didn't know how to explain, so he could only say tactfully, "Dad knows everything about yesterday."

Li Yao's face became even more unhappy, "Aunt Zhou, what do you want?"

"I have already made it clear to Yang Lizhuo that there is no chance of anything happening between us."

"Why do you keep pestering me, even to the point of causing trouble at my house?"

"Isn't that a bit too bullying?"

"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry about this matter. I will talk to him face to face today and make things clear!"

Zhou Hanmei sneered, "Do you think I'm willing to come?"

"Your Li family's status is too high, I can't afford it!"

"It was that Tang Chen who was behind the scenes, ruining Li Zhuo's future, and even used my father's influence to take away Li Zhuo's job."

"If it weren't for this, would I come to your house?"

Li Yao frowned. "Is this true? How come I don't know about it?"

"Besides, I already made it clear to Tang Chen yesterday, and he promised me that he would not argue with Yang Lizhuo about this matter anymore."

"What evidence do you have to prove that the Tang family did it?"

Zhou Hanmei asked back, "Do you still need evidence? If Secretary Tang hadn't spoken up, why didn't my son pass the political review?"

"Li Yao, you don't have to pretend nothing happened here."

"I'm telling you, this matter is not over today."

"Your brother and sister-in-law are capable. With them protecting me, I can't do anything to you."

"But listen to me carefully. If anything happens to my son because of this, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Li Yao looked at Li Dong, "Brother, is this true?"

Li Dong said in a soothing tone: "Yaoyao, don't worry about it. Leave this to my brother."

Zhou Hanmei threw a tantrum on the spot, sat on the ground and said, "Everyone come and see, this is the good daughter raised by the Li family."

"After several years of relationship, it's time to break up."

"In order to climb up the social ladder and marry a rich second-generation man, she used such despicable means to ruin my son's future!"

"Li Yao, you will be punished for doing this!"

With Zhou Hanmei's slander and exaggeration, the surrounding discussions became rampant again.

Li Yao's face was filled with shame and indignation. She finally understood why those people had pointed fingers at her.

It turned out that Yang Lizhuo's future was ruined by someone, and Zhou Hanmei blamed her for it, and even came to the Li family to make a scene!

Listening to the discussions around her, Li Yao became angry.

In order to prove her innocence, she called Tang Chen on the spot and turned on the speakerphone.

Soon, the call was connected and Tang Chen's voice came from the other end, "Yaoyao?"

"I really didn't expect that you would take the initiative to call me."

"I am really sorry for what happened yesterday. I have deeply realized my mistake."

"I hope you can give me a chance to explain in person..."

Li Yao asked directly: "Tang Chen, I want to ask you something, tell me the truth."

Hearing Li Yao's seriousness, Tang Chen also said seriously: "If you ask, I will definitely tell you the truth!"

Li Yao asked directly: "I told you yesterday that I hope you won't cause trouble for Yang Lizhuo."

"Yang Lizhuo's mother just came to me and said that Yang Lizhuo's political review had been taken away."

"Did you do this behind the scenes?"

Tang Chen was stunned at first, as if he couldn't remember who Yang Lizhuo was.

After a moment, he finally realized, "You mean the guy named Yang from yesterday, right?"

"You've already told me not to get involved in this matter, and you even pleaded for him. How could I possibly cause trouble for him?"

Li Yao's expression eased a little. "Do you dare to swear?"

Tang Chen hurriedly said: "I swear, if I did this, let me get hit by a car and die!"

Li Yao looked across and said, "Auntie Zhou, did you hear everything?"

Zhou Hanmei was indignant, "Oh, who can admit to such a thing in person?"

Tang Chen heard the voice and shouted, "You are the mother surnamed Yang, right?"

"I'm telling you, don't go looking for trouble with Li Yao. If you have the guts, come after me!"

"Also, your son's affairs have nothing to do with me."

"Yaoyao begged me for mercy yesterday, and I have decided to let him go."

"Otherwise, do you think what happened yesterday would be so easy to let go?"

"Ruin his job? If I really wanted to ruin him, would I have to use such a childish method?"

"I will use a hundred ways to play tricks on him and make him regret approaching Li Yao!"

When Zhou Hanmei heard this, she also felt a little suspicious.

Could it be that it wasn’t Tang Chen who did it?

But if it wasn’t Tang Chen, who else could it be?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hanmei's attitude softened instantly and she snatched the phone, "Mr. Tang, I'm Li Zhuo's mother."

"What happened yesterday was all my fault. I apologize to you on behalf of Li Zhuo."

"I know that with Young Master Tang's ability, he would definitely not bother to use such means to deal with Li Zhuo."

"You are a magnanimous person, please don't bother with me."

"After I got home yesterday, I scolded Li Zhuo severely. Li Zhuo also told me that he would not bother Li Yao anymore. He also asked me to wish you two a happy marriage."

"Mr. Tang, please help me with this matter of Li Zhuo for Li Yao's sake."

"As long as it does not affect my son's job and future, we can agree to any conditions."

"Don't you want to pursue Li Yao? Li Zhuo will definitely not stop you, and I will definitely not come to the Li family to cause trouble again."

"From today on, Li Yao belongs to Mr. Tang, and my son withdraws from the competition."

"Please, please help my son!"

Li Yao's face darkened instantly. "Auntie Zhou, please speak with more respect."

"I am not a commodity for you to trade with!"
