Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"You'd better do as you say, or don't blame me for doing it myself."

"I don't need you to interfere in my affairs."

"What do you mean you don't need my intervention? When you were with Jiang Ning, you loved her so much, but she betrayed you in the end. Now you've got someone who looks exactly like her. Do you want to be deceived twice?"

"You are already 28, and you will be 30 in two years. Whenever I mention marriage, you give me all kinds of excuses to evade me. How long are you going to delay it? Wait until your father and I are both in the coffin, and then you will marry that woman outside?"

Madam Li didn't believe what Li Yanxiu said at all. Although he said that he would not marry Lin Qian, he didn't send her away, nor did he listen to the marriage arranged by his family. He just gave her a word and left her alone.

He raised his eyelids, and stared at Madam Li with his deep eyes mysteriously, exuding a cold and dangerous aura.

Mrs. Li wanted to persuade him a few more times, but his cold eyes frightened her and she softened her attitude even more.

"Yan Xiu, don't blame me for being nosy. What if Lin Qian approaches you with bad intentions like Jiang Ning, and she doesn't really love you but wants the position of Li's young mistress? You're doting on her and loving her so much now, and one day she forces you to marry her, what should you do?"

"She won't."

"People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs! When the time comes..."

Li Yanxiu narrowed his eyes, interrupted Madam Li, and said calmly, "Nothing will happen. When the deadline is up, I will naturally end our relationship."

She felt a sharp pain spreading from her heart to her entire body, making her completely unable to support herself and her body shaking slightly.

The man's gentleness, thoughtfulness and attentiveness seemed to make her forget that there was an agreement between them.

One year later, Li Yanxiu will end their relationship as agreed.

What's even more cruel is that she finally realized that all the heart-warming kindness the man had shown her was given to a woman named Jiang Ning through her face.

He treated her as a substitute, but she wanted to have a relationship with him...

She thought about what the man had just said, and then she suddenly realized what was going on, and at the same time she laughed at herself for being stupid.

"Just be sensible. Don't let yourself get spoiled so much that you won't be able to get rid of it."

The man's bony hands tugged at his tie impatiently, and said indifferently, "Yeah."

After saying that, Mrs. Li stood up and walked towards the door.

At the door of the reception room, Lin Qian watched Madam Li walking towards the door. Her pupils suddenly shrank and she wanted to leave quickly, but her whole body seemed to be frozen. Her body was as stiff as an ice sculpture and she could not move a step.

As the footsteps approached, the door to the living room was completely opened.

Lin Qian was stunned and panicked, and her pale face caught Madam Li's eyes.

Mrs. Li was a little surprised.

After a moment, she regained her composure and said gloomily, "How could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

Lin Qian's whole body was tense, and her lips trembled unconsciously a few times.

Facing Mrs. Li's questioning, Lin Qian dodged her gaze and denied in panic, "No, I was just passing by on my way to the bathroom."

In the reception room, a familiar voice reached his ears. Li Yanxiu was stunned, his heart tightened, he leaned over to put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

Through Mrs. Li's back, one could see a woman's pale little face.

Obviously she heard everything he said to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li had never had a good impression of her in the first place, and she also had the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. She didn't seem to be the simple-minded person that Li Yanxiu said. Her expression became even worse.

But since her son had already promised to send her away, she didn't have to do anything to her now.

She turned sideways and made way for Li Yanxiu.

The two people's eyes met inadvertently, caught off guard, and then they stared at each other silently.

Finally, Lin Qian spoke first.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying hard to suppress her emotions. Her voice was as gentle as usual, but it was full of sadness. "I just went to the bathroom, and I didn't expect to meet you here."

After a pause, she suppressed the pain in her heart, tried to remain calm, and smiled softly, "But you seem to be a little busy."

Before the man said those words, she was still thinking about what he said in the mall, "Let's go back early today." Thinking of this, she blushed unconsciously.

But at this moment, she just felt that she was just a toy that he kept by his side at a whim. He was in a good mood today, so she needed to cooperate with him.

Li Yanxiu subconsciously explained, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that... there was nothing to explain.

This is the case.

Any explanation is unnecessary, he just stated the fact cruelly.

At this moment, her chest seemed to be filled with cold ice spikes, making it difficult for her to breathe, but on the surface she pretended to be calm.

But in Li Yanxiu's eyes, although she was smiling at him, she no longer had the enthusiasm of the past. Instead, she revealed a kind of disappointment. The bone-chilling coldness overflowed from her eyes and instantly swept through his whole body.

In her eyes, there is heartache, unwillingness, and more of aggrieved.

Just as the man was carefully choosing his words, the woman spoke up, "Since you are still busy, I will go back first."

Lin Qian didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Regardless of whether the man responded or not, she turned and walked quickly towards the door.

Lin Qian was about to turn around and leave, but her wrist was grabbed by a force.

She had just taken half a step when she heard a man's low and indifferent voice behind her, "I'll ask Zhou He to take you there."

Lin Qian hurriedly broke free from his hand and walked quickly towards the door without looking back. "No, I can do it myself. I can get a taxi when I go out."

Her heart felt as if being strangled by a ruthless hand and she found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

She could only quicken her pace and walk towards the door.

Mrs. Li stood at the door and did not leave.

Her eyes were full of smiles. From the very beginning, the moment they started talking, Mrs. Li noticed a woman in a black cheongsam dress flashing past the door.

She immediately thought of Lin Qian, who was the only woman in the audience wearing a black cheongsam today.

That's why she deliberately asked Li Yanxiu to give her a definite answer so that Lin Qian could find her position.

Don't dream of Li Yanxiu marrying her.

Her eyes were full of complacent cunning, like a cat that had caught a mouse, and she felt extremely comfortable.

Moreover, if Li Yanxiu and Lin Qian really broke up now because of today's conversation, that would be exactly what she wanted.

She would never let Lin Qian ruin her son's lifelong happiness.
