Chapter 506: Calling Li Shengxiao
As he listened, a frost seed to settle over Li Shengxiao’s brows, and the low pressure emanating from him was palpable to everyone in the conference room. They all lowered their heads, fearful of drawing his ire.
“I’ll be back soon,” the man said in a deep voice before hanging up the phone.
Turning to return to his original spot, he glanced at the senior executive who had been reporting and began gathering his things. “The eting is temporarily adjourned,” he said. “If there’s anything else, we’ll discuss it tomorrow!”
As he spoke, he had already packed up his belongings, and he turned his head to instruct his assistant, “Get the car ready!”
Once he had left without looking back, the people in the conference room dared to whisper among themselves—
“What happened? Who was on the phone just now?”
“Given that ringtone, it must have been a child.”
“A child? Could it be… the legendary Little Crown Prince calling Mr. Li?”
“Must be, didn’t you see the president halt the eting and leave? It must have been the Little Crown Prince. Besides him, who else could make the president suspend a eting halfway through and leave the company?”
The high-level executive beside him sighed with relief, his face, which had paled with tension, finally regaining so color. “Thank heavens,” he said. “The project I was presenting wasn’t well-prepared, and I was worried about how to explain it to Mr. Li. Now I’ve gained half a day to have the planning departnt go over it again.”
The Li Group executives continued to murmur to each other about the eting.
anwhile, Gu Ming was driving, his foot on the gas, speeding towards Dihor Garden as fast as lightning—
…
Rong Yan had no idea that the Little Baby hiding in the bedroom had called Li Shengxiao. She was on the verge of refusing Jiang iqi’s insistent request.
Rong Weiwei’s expression shifted, and she spoke before Rong Yan could, “Sister, Mom is just worried about you, that’s why she’s asking you to move back. Dad has been asked, and he has no objections to you moving back, so don’t worry about him.”
Rong Nanfeng, that profit-driven man, of course had no objections. Other than his precious illegitimate son, he had never cared much about his legitimate daughter, Rong Yan. But now, many people in the know were aware that Rong Yan had connections to the Li Family, and Rong Nanfeng, ever the opportunist, wouldn’t miss the chance to cling to power and influence. If Rong Yan moved back, wouldn’t it also pave the way for Li Shengxiao to possibly visit the Rong Family Villa?
Had it not been for him agreeing to kick Rong Yan out of the house as her father back then, he would have surely brought up the idea of her moving back much earlier.
“Mom truly hopes that you’ll co back to live with us, sister. Having an extra person is always good for a bit of help. Mom’s health hasn’t been great lately, how could you bear to see her worry about you every day?”
Rong Weiwei made herself sound so kind and filial, as if Rong Yan was the only cold and heartless one!
Taking a deep breath, Rong Yan looked at the two won and issued an eviction order, “Has Mrs. Rong had enough water? If so, I have things to do and can’t entertain you further.”
She wanted to pinch her Baby’s face tenderly, watch TV with Little Baby, and ask Little Baby what fun they had had during their holiday… She had so much to do and no ti to waste with them.
“What do you an, you’re trying to get rid of ?” Jiang iqi asked, incredulous.
Rong Yan looked at her calmly and replied, “Didn’t Mrs. Rong co in just for a drink? I don’t believe you have anything else to discuss with .”
