Chapter 157 Confrontation
Chapter 157 Confrontation
Early in the morning, Li Yucheng called in professionals and personally supervised the cleaning, water changing, testing, and releasing of fish.
He installed a surveillance camera in the backyard with the camera facing the fish pond to facilitate real-time observation in the future.
All the servants were dismissed, and gardeners and breeders were hired to come and maintain the plants regularly.
The housekeeper was trembling with fear all night, and finally managed to keep his job, but lost his year-end bonus.
When his sister called, everything was just over. Li Yucheng was opening the safe in the study. This was the second thing he did after returning today.
There was a burgundy velvet box in the safe, which contained a pair of rings. One of the rings had only been worn a few times, and the other was left behind by Ni Jia before she left.
He put his own on and put the other one in his pocket.
"father!"
"woke up?"
"Why don't you answer my call?"
Li Yucheng touched his pocket and found that he had not charged his phone in time last night and his phone had been turned off.
He shook his black machine towards the screen: "Sorry, it's out of battery."
"I'm really angry," Haohao snorted, his tone changed with anger, his face puffed up, "You sneaked away again!"
"I told you this morning."
"no!"
"Think again."
"Really do not have!"
Li Yucheng was helpless: "You agreed to me at that time."
"You're lying!" Haohao took Aunt Tong's phone, walked to the sofa and sat down, and seriously condemned Li Yucheng: "You don't keep your word, you're a puppy!"
It seemed like he was talking in his sleep. Li Yucheng had no choice but to admit his fault: "Okay, it's my fault. I apologize to you."
"Hmph." Haohao tilted her head and pouted. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but glance at Li Yucheng out of the corner of her eye.
"If you want to see it, just look at it openly."
Li Yucheng got in the car and signaled the driver to drive to the company. There were too many contracts piled up, so he had to go there.
The housekeeper followed him up, and Li Yucheng stretched out his hand to block him: "There will be a decoration team coming this afternoon, you stay."
"Young Master..." The butler pointed awkwardly, and Li Yucheng then remembered that the phone was not his.
"Okay, Dad is busy now, I'll call you later."
The other end snorted and hung up the phone. The last person who dared to hang up on him was... the child's mother...
After getting in the car, Li Yucheng charged his mobile phone immediately, then used his tablet to video call his sister, but the call was hung up.
This temperament... is quite hot.
As soon as he entered the office, Li Xinghe came up to him and said, "Boss Li, there were changes in Ni's shareholders this morning, and Miss Ni was kicked out of the board of directors."
Li Yucheng turned his head to look over, and Li Xinghe immediately changed his words and said, "It's Miss Ni Chang."
It seems that Ni Jia's plan has worked. This old man Ni Dehai is willing to abandon anyone for the sake of profit. Li Yucheng sneered.
"In addition, the tax issues of the subsidiary have been properly resolved," Li Xinghe paused, "but there is still no movement from Ni's side."
"Whatever they want."
Li Yucheng unbuttoned his coat as he spoke. Li Xinghe vaguely smelled some hostility and immediately stepped forward to take the coat.
In the end, he was careless and lost the opportunity. When he was taking it, he was not careful and a box fell out of his suit.
He recognized the box and his expression changed immediately. He was about to bend down to pick it up when he was yelled at.
"Don't touch it!"
Li Yucheng strode over, picked up the box, and wiped it carefully twice with a wet wipe.
The ring on his left ring finger was very obvious. Li Xinghe was so scared that he couldn't breathe and his heart was beating fast.
He really wanted to tell his boss that the carpet had just been cleaned yesterday and was probably cleaner than his face, so it wouldn't get much dust on it if he fell like this.
Of course, he only dared to think about these words and would never say them out loud.
"Get out if you have nothing to do." Li Yucheng's face looked ugly.
Although he knew it was impossible to damage it, he still opened the box and checked it carefully.
After turning on the phone, he found that Ni Jia had made two or three video calls an hour ago. He immediately put down the contract and called back.
"Hey."
"Your phone ran out of battery before, so you came to me?"
"Oh," the other end didn't seem to care much, "It's not me, it's my sister looking for you."
Just when his mood was about to improve, it took a sharp turn for the worse. The expectation in his heart was gone, and Li Yucheng's voice became much lower.
"Yes, I got it."
"She was angry."
"Yeah." Li Yucheng responded calmly: "I know."
Ni Jia guessed that Li Yucheng probably didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so she carefully reminded him: "Don't take it lightly."
"It's hard to appease her when she's angry."
Ni Jia walked aside, covered her phone and whispered, "It may still be the same problem as before. She feels less secure now."
"Me neither." Li Yucheng agreed subconsciously.
"Hmm?" Ni Jia didn't hear clearly: "What?"
The call was silent for two seconds, and then a clear voice came from the receiver.
"Ni Jia," Li Yucheng paused, "I don't feel safe either."
She didn't expect Li Yucheng to say this. She couldn't respond for a moment and habitually held the phone in silence.
Perhaps because he couldn't get an answer, Li Yucheng soon stopped the argument and brought the topic back on track.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will keep it in mind."
"And congratulations to you."
The tone suddenly seemed distant, and Ni Jia felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked in a low voice: "What are you congratulating?"
"Ni Chang was kicked out of the board of directors. Your strategy was successful."
The topic spanned too wide a range, and Ni Jia, who hadn't yet recovered from his previous emotions, responded in a daze.
"okay, I get it."
"Is there anything else?" Li Yucheng asked.
"That's all." Ni Jia hung up the phone.
Why does Li Yucheng's voice still sound like he had last night's emotions?
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead. Was the kiss in the morning an illusion?
She lowered her eyes and stared at the window on the screen, a little stunned. That person actually said that he felt insecure.
Isn't this stealing her lines?
"Mommy." Haohao said with a stern face, pulling the corner of her clothes: "Let's go to the mall."
Ni Jia regained his composure, squatted down and pinched his daughter's face. The little girl had been angry all morning.
"What to do?"
"shopping."
"what are you looking for?"
"watch."
Ni Jia tapped her watch face: "Isn't this there?"
Haohao pouted and snorted: "Buy it for dad, his phone doesn't work well."
Ni Jia: ....
This is blaming Li Yucheng for not answering the phone.
"This is a children's watch, specially for children. There is no adult version."
"Then find the adult money." Haohao insisted on pulling her out the door, muttering, "Go find it, go find it!"
"Okay, okay," Ni Jia held her and coaxed her softly, "We can place the order online. We don't have to go out."
Hearing this, Haohao stopped, turned around and asked seriously: "When will the watch arrive?"
"About three days."
Ni Jia thought that it should be forgotten after three days.
After all, people like Li Yucheng wear watches worth millions, so she didn't think he would agree.
When her sister heard this, she frowned and dragged her out again: "No, I want to buy it today!"
