Chapter 174: Mr. Li hugs his "wife" and shows off his power
Without surveillance, as long as Shen Chuyao insisted on not admitting the crime, no one could convict her based on just the two tufts of her hair.
All in all, it was just a prank and no real harm was caused.
Ni Jia knew clearly that even if the matter was investigated thoroughly, it was impossible for the Li family to openly support her.
She could only repay in her own way and never let the other party feel too happy.
Just like Ni Chang was kicked out of the board of directors, although she can't go back in a short time, Ni Dehai's property can only be left to her.
For people with extremely high self-esteem and inferiority complex, this kind of harm is much better than taking away two beauty salons.
Ni Chang hurt her daughter with family affection, so she responded with the same amount of family affection hurt.
Since this is a psychological warfare, then no one should have an easy time and see who suffers more internally.
Before she even reached the front hall, Li Yucheng had come looking for her. After finishing her task, Ni Jia suddenly felt tired and painful.
Maybe it’s because the new shoes are rubbing my feet. I didn’t notice it before because I was too excited, but now that the adrenaline has worn off, the pain is much more obvious.
He stopped while holding Li Yucheng's arm, and slightly raised his heels under his long skirt.
"What's wrong?" Li Yucheng immediately leaned over and showed concern.
"I'm tired. When will it end?" Ni Jia looked at the living room with a slightly tired look.
I found that those socialites were all wearing high heels, had beautiful faces, and were talking tirelessly.
Each smile was so fake that she could even imagine what those people were talking about.
"Go back if you're tired." Li Yucheng didn't want Ni Jia to stay here any longer, so he helped him towards the gate.
To go out, one had to go through the front hall, and Ni Jia naturally saw Cheng Wenbo.
Different from the outfit he wore when he knelt down to propose marriage just now, Cheng Wenbo's previous white suit has now been changed into a dark gray one, and he has a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Ni Jia always feels that the color has changed, and the temperament and expression look different too.
"Still looking?" An unhappy voice sounded from the side. Ni Jia quickly withdrew his gaze and followed the crowd to find Chen Mi.
The other person just happened to see her, finished the champagne in his glass, and came over.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mi glanced at her.
"The new shoes are rubbing my feet." Ni Jia frowned and muttered softly.
Li Yucheng finally understood the reason. He almost put the blame on Shen Chuyao, after all, she was the only one who was with Ni Jia just now.
Chen Mi gritted her teeth and said in a low, fragmented voice, "I wonder if the knife that was used can come back to bite you."
She leaned over and whispered in Ni Jia's ear: "This is the first time I've seen Cheng Wenbo so embarrassed. You even made him cry."
Thinking of what she had said before, Ni Jia pursed her lips. It was Cheng Wenbo's fault for being so crazy as to propose to her directly. There was nothing she could do.
Noticing an unfriendly gaze from the side, Ni Jia pinched Chen Mi and pushed the person away.
What's the point of just whispering... Li Yucheng could guess what they were talking about...
"By the way, what did you say to Shen Chuyao? Her face changed when she came back."
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Shen Chuyao turned her back to them and drank frequently. Ni Jia's face was a little cold: "I'll talk to you when I have time."
After all, they were here to congratulate, so they had to say congratulations to the protagonist before leaving. Ni Jia shook Li Yucheng's sleeve and winked at the distance.
Although he was reluctant, Li Yucheng knew that this was a courtesy, so he could only take Ni Jia to where there were the most people.
"Why are they wet?" He frowned slightly, and the next second he tried to help Ni Jia take off his gloves.
"It's okay." Ni Jia dodged for a moment. He was about to leave, so a few seconds wouldn't matter.
"The weather is cold, it's easy to catch a cold."
"So you have to hurry up," she whispered, "I don't really want to talk."
The first person to notice them coming was Cheng Wenbo. Compared to his previous outburst on the lawn, he was now calm and composed, not like the same person.
Ni Jia always kept his eyes level, which not only avoided Cheng Wenbo's gaze but also allowed him to greet Mrs. Cheng politely.
"I wish your love with Mr. Cheng will be as strong as diamonds and last forever."
Mrs. Cheng looked her up and down calmly, said thank you with a smile, and just a few polite words.
Ni Jia felt uncomfortable being looked at. Although the other party's tone was calm, his eyes gave people a feeling of scrutiny.
She wanted to leave, but unfortunately Li Yucheng was being held aside by Cheng Kangsheng to chat. In order to avoid the embarrassment of standing opposite Cheng Wenbo, she took a glass of champagne from the bartender.
"Boss Li, I heard that you have invested in a new hospital in Shuncheng?"
Li Yucheng glanced at Ni Jia from the corner of his eye, and replied to Cheng Kangsheng indifferently, "That's what happened."
"The contract is being discussed with Bona?"
"Director Cheng is quite quick in getting news."
Cheng Kangsheng smiled faintly and waved his hand: "I went out traveling with my wife a while ago, so the news was delayed."
Li Yucheng put his hands in his pockets, smiled and said nothing. From what Cheng Kangsheng said, he probably wanted to fight for this batch of orders.
"In this case, I will ask the purchasing department to issue an estimate contract as soon as possible."
Cheng Kangsheng took a glass of red wine and gave it to him, then he put the glass against his and said, "I'm sure the price will satisfy you."
As if tacitly agreeing to the deal, the old fox finished the wine in the glass, then extended his hand to him with a smile, indicating that he should finish the drink as soon as possible.
Li Yucheng shook the wine glass, showing no intention of drinking. "I haven't heard that Cheng has this intention before."
He glanced at Cheng Wenbo meaningfully and said with a low laugh, "Now the contract is only one step away. If I open a backdoor for Director Cheng..."
"It's not a backdoor." Cheng Kangsheng smiled steadily: "We are all businessmen, and we talk about business and everything depends on profit."
"Yucheng, I'm not taking advantage of my age. Your private hospital project must include more than just Shuncheng."
"Cheng is willing to give the most sincere price. You can decide after reading it."
Cheng Kangsheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the first time Wenbo has taken over. He was short-sighted. I hope you can give Chengshi another chance."
The words have been said so bluntly. There is no point in blocking Cheng Kangsheng now. It is better to look at the price first.
Li Yucheng raised the cup and shook it, his face slightly helpless: "Since Director Cheng said so, I will take another look?"
He passed the cup to Ni Jia: "As for the wine... Sorry, the one at home is very strict."
Cheng Kangsheng and his wife loved each other very much, so naturally they would not force him to drink the glass. He immediately asked someone to replace the juice for him and also called Cheng Wenbo to instruct him on this matter in person.
"Okay." Cheng Wenbo smiled while holding his wine glass: "I will ask the purchasing department to issue the contract as soon as possible, and then I will personally deliver it to President Li."
"Stay tuned." Li Yucheng raised the cup with a smile and drank all the juice this time.
In front of Cheng Wenbo, he walked over and hugged Ni Jia affectionately, and said goodbye to Cheng Kangsheng and his wife.
He took the wine glass from Ni Jia's hand and said deliberately, "Don't drink if you don't feel well."
Cheng Wenbo put his hand, which was hanging at his side and was obviously trembling, into his pocket. Li Yucheng raised his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
"There are still two little ones at home making noises, so we will leave first. Congratulations again to both of you on your diamond wedding, and may you be forever happy."
