At this moment, Hu Li's gaze inadvertently fell on Xia Ruoan's fair and delicate face, and a strong feeling of jealousy suddenly surged in his heart.

Her delicate hands, painted with brightly colored nail polish, seemed to be casually waving towards Xia Ruoan's cheek, but in fact, she did it on purpose...

Xia Ruoan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist tightly, swung it hard, and threw it away mercilessly.

Hu Li was wearing an exquisite pair of high heels. Due to the sudden thrust, she lost her balance instantly and fell straight backwards. Finally, she fell heavily on the cold and hard ground in a miserable state.

"what!"

Hu Li let out a sharp, piercing scream, staring at Xia Ruoan with astonishment and anger, and shouted in frustration, "How dare you do this to me? I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!"

At this moment, she was sitting on the ground, looking very miserable, and her originally carefully combed hair had become messy.

Zhang Lei, who had just returned from a business trip, happened to witness this scene.

Without hesitation, he quickly stepped forward, looked at Hu Li who was sitting on the ground, and said righteously, "What she did was completely normal self-defense, because it was clearly you who tried to hurt her face just now."

However, the colleague standing next to Zhang Lei quickly reached out and gently tugged at the corner of his shirt, lowering his voice to remind him, "Zhang Lei, you'd better stop talking. This is Manager Hu from our company's public relations department. We can't afford to offend him."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but frown, but still responded firmly: "I'm just stating the facts that I saw with my own eyes."

"And everyone knows that the relationship between the president and his wife has always been very good. How could it be possible that the president would fall in love with her as this woman said?"

"If the president really likes Manager Hu, then it only shows that the president is too hypocritical."

After saying this, Zhang Lei looked at Hu Li with a righteous look on his face, showing no intention of backing down.

"Zhang Lei, don't you cherish the opportunity to intern at Leng Group? Please don't meddle in other people's business!" The person who spoke looked at Zhang Lei with a worried look on his face.

I was thinking to myself, if what Manager Hu said was true, then I, who was responsible for guiding Zhang Lei during his internship, would also be implicated.

After all, with President Leng's high status, it doesn't seem surprising even if he really has an affair.

And Hu Li is really good-looking.

However, Zhang Lei forcefully shook off the other person's hand that was tightly grasping him, and said righteously, "But we can't just watch Manager Hu slander others!"

Then, he turned to look at Xia Ruoan, his eyes firm but full of doubt, and asked, "Are you serious about what you just said? Are you really President Leng's wife? Do you have any evidence to prove this?"

Xia Ruoan never expected that the young man in front of her would choose to believe her. She nodded slightly, looked at her mobile phone, and prepared to open the album to show Zhang Lei the heartwarming photo of Leng Zexi and their three children.

Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. When she pressed the power button, she found that the phone had run out of battery and turned off.

It turned out that just now, all the remaining power had been used to make that crucial call.

"Sorry, my phone is out of battery. It originally had photos of Leng Zexi and our three children on it, which could serve as proof..."

Xia Ruoan looked embarrassed. While explaining, he handed the black-screen phone to Zhang Lei for inspection.

Zhang Lei took the phone, tried pressing the buttons a few times, and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was indeed unable to turn on the phone for verification.

"You are lying!" Hu Li was carefully helped to stand up.

She stared at Xia Ruoan fiercely with eyes full of mockery and contempt, and shouted loudly: "Just now, I saw you holding your phone and making a call with my own eyes!"

"I just didn't know who was on the other end of the line and didn't answer. But now, you're lying with your eyes open, telling me your phone's battery is dead? Do you think I'm a three-year-old who's so easy to fool?"

The more Hu Li thought about it, the angrier he became. He was convinced that Xia Ruoan was a shameless person who was trying to curry favor with his own president.

She gnashed her teeth and continued to curse, "You ignorant woman, don't think you can seduce our CEO just because you are pretty!"

"I'm telling you, people like you with bad intentions, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

After that, she glared at Xia Ruoan fiercely, as if she wanted to drive him out with her eyes.

Zhang Lei, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at the phone in Xia Ruoan's hand with some confusion when he heard this.

In his heart, he actually didn't quite believe Hu Li's accusations against Xia Ruoan, but after all, Hu Li was his boss, and he felt torn for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Lei tentatively asked, "How about... I lend you my phone, and you quickly call the president to confirm the situation? That way, the truth will be revealed."

However, before Xia Ruoan could respond, Hu Li immediately turned around, glared at Zhang Lei, and issued a ruthless warning: "Zhang Lei, are you really that bold?"

"How dare you openly disobey me! I'm telling you, if you dare lend your phone to this woman to call the CEO today, I promise to make you pack up and leave immediately."

"And they'll write 'unqualified' on your internship report! By then, forget about getting a permanent position, I'm afraid no company will want you!"

Faced with Hu Li's tough and unreasonable attitude, Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses and mustered up the courage to retort, "Manager Hu, since you keep saying she's lying, why don't you let her call the president to verify it?"

"Just make that call and everything will be revealed! Are you afraid that the truth isn't what you say it is?"

"In my opinion, the Leng family should never take in someone who is so eager to act as a third party!"

"It's no big deal. I can just change companies and get an internship."

To be honest, if the president really gets together with Hu Li, then this is definitely not a place he would want to stay for long.

Thinking back, there were two reasons why he chose to intern here: First, there is no doubt that this is indeed an excellent platform that allows me to gain a lot of valuable knowledge and experience.

The second is that I once heard from my eldest brother about the deep relationship between President Leng and his wife.

What a pity, I actually forgot the name of President Leng’s wife.

However, it is said that they are both a perfect match. If the one in front of you is President Leng's wife, it makes sense. After all, Xia Ruoan is as beautiful as a fairy. She is not only pleasing to the eye, but also makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Here's the phone. If you're not the president's wife, it's not a big deal."

"But next time, please don't use this name to scam people! After all, with your looks and temperament, you don't have to worry about not finding a suitable partner."

"Besides, you'd better focus more on unmarried men." Zhang Lei looked at her and said softly.

Xia Ruoan couldn't help feeling helpless after hearing his words. She could only smile faintly in response: "Thank you."

Then he reached for his phone, ready to make a call.

However, just when she was about to get the phone, Hu Li suddenly rushed forward, snatched the phone from her hand, and threw it to the ground without hesitation.

"I've already told you that she's just pretending to be pitiful and trying to gain sympathy. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"If you have any sense, get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for calling the security to drag you away by force!" Hu Li glared at Xia Ruoan angrily and shouted, while raising one hand high, as if he wanted to hit someone.

At this moment, a slight "ding" sound was heard. It turned out that the elevator door behind Xia Ruoan slowly opened.

The hand that Hu Li had originally raised high suddenly froze in mid-air, as if it had been cast under a spell and could not move.

Then she quickly withdrew her hand, hurriedly straightened her slightly messy clothes, and showed an embarrassed and flattering smile on her face.

Xia Ruoan heard the noise behind her and subconsciously turned around to see Leng Zexi walking out of the elevator with steady and powerful steps.

When Leng Zexi's icy eyes met Xia Ruoan, they miraculously subsided quickly, replaced by full of tenderness and affection.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he called out softly to his wife, "Ruoan, come here quickly."

Xia Ruoan stood quietly without taking a step forward. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at the man in front of her and she said softly, "You are going to attend the cocktail party today, and you have to bring Manager Hu from your company with you. You even have to go to a hotel with her afterward!"

Hearing this, Leng Zexi's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't we agree on this a long time ago?"

"I'll leave work early today and go pick up the kids with you. Then we'll go back to my parents' house for dinner and celebrate the start of the new semester for the four of you."

As he spoke, Leng Zexi quickened his pace and walked quickly to Xia Ruoan, hugging her tightly in his arms.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming here to see me? If I had known you were coming, I would have come downstairs early to greet you."

Leng Zexi gently stroked Xia Ruoan's hair, his tone full of concern and love.

However, Xia Ruoan pouted with a look of grievance: "I originally thought I could just go up directly, but I was stopped as soon as I got downstairs. Those people were so fierce and said those words to me just now."

"What's even more outrageous is that the woman actually wanted to hit me!" When Xia Ruoan said this, his eyes were red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
