The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

At the Li family's old residence, the atmosphere immediately became tense upon hearing that Shen Yanran had gone to the hospital due to an allergic reaction to orange juice containing mango.

Especially Mr. Li, who was particularly happy today.

Last time, Shen Yanran was harmed, which caused her to have a premature birth and almost resulted in the deaths of all three of them!

This time, someone is causing trouble behind the scenes at the old house again, showing absolutely no respect for the Li family.

This time, even without Li Zhanting personally taking action, he is determined to capture this insidious and vicious person.

There were many people in the old house who had access to the kitchen, including the housekeeper, and they were all called to the living room and questioned one by one.

Li Shengtian stood in front of all the servants, his face grim, and said loudly, "I'm sure you all know about the Second Young Mistress's allergic reaction. I simply can't believe that there is such a vicious person in my family. Now I'm giving you a chance to confess and be lenient. Stand up and admit your mistakes, otherwise, if I catch you, it won't be as simple as just sending you to the police station!"

The servants in the old house had almost all worked for the Li family for more than ten years. Except for a few who had to take leave temporarily or had to find someone to cover their shifts, such a terrible thing had never happened before.

As the butler of the old mansion, Han Shengli had a great responsibility and spoke first: "Chairman, I am responsible for whoever caused the Second Young Madam's injury today, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Li Shengtian glared at Han Shengli with displeasure and said in a low voice, "Xiao Han, you've worked in this family for almost thirty years. You've watched Yan Chen and Zhan Ting grow up, so you're practically family to us. I trust you a lot. You are indeed to blame for what happened today, but now is not the time to hold you accountable. I want to know who dared to lay a hand on my granddaughter-in-law!"

Sun Mingyan looked at everyone with a cold gaze and said, "If none of you are willing to admit it, you can report it. I will reward the person who reports the right person with 100,000 yuan!"

The saying "Where there's a generous reward, there will be brave men" has proven true throughout history.

The servants, who had just been keeping their heads down and not saying a word, all started to have ideas.

That's a whole 100,000 yuan! That's their annual salary!

But I'm also afraid that if I report the wrong person, I might lose such a good job, which would be a huge loss.

In less than a minute, the servants' minds were racing.

Finally, someone raised their hand and shouted, "Chairman, I...I...I'm reporting this! I saw He Lin deliver the red wine and juice to the Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress!"

He Lin only got the opportunity to work at the old house because she took over her mother's job. She was usually very arrogant and thought she was pretty, so she looked down on everyone and didn't care about the old people at all. She even fantasized that she could seduce one of the young masters and become the future mistress of the Li family. She always arrogantly ordered others to do all sorts of chores.

Then you do the things that make you look good in front of your hosts.

Those who were usually bullied by her had long disliked her, so of course they wouldn't let her off the hook this time.

Originally, He Lin was terrified because of Shen Yanran's accident and hid at the back, not daring to show herself.

Unexpectedly, she was reported by someone next to her. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively denied it, saying, "No, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

The servants voluntarily made way for He Lin.

Li Shengtian gave He Lin a sharp look from head to toe. "Didn't you send that glass of juice?"

He Lin was very flustered. She just wanted to take this opportunity to show her face in front of the second young master. Maybe he would take a liking to her while he was drunk. If she couldn't be the main wife, being his mistress would be good too.

But she waited and waited and never received any special treatment from Li Zhanting, so she had no choice but to slink back to the kitchen to continue working.

However, when she wanted to go back to her room to rest, she suddenly heard someone say that the second young mistress had an allergic reaction, apparently because she drank fruit juice.

He Lin turned pale with fright and dared not utter a sound. She even instinctively wanted to run away. After all, she was the one who delivered the juice. If the investigation found her, she would be in deep trouble no matter what!

But when she quietly ran to the main gate, it was already completely blocked off by bodyguards, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

She had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing and return to her room.

Even now, she has been reported.

He Lin, her face pale, explained, "Please let me explain, Mr. Chairman. I really don't know anything. I just went to the cellar to get red wine and orange juice as instructed by the Second Young Master, and delivered them to him and the guests. I absolutely did not come into contact with mangoes, and I didn't know that the Second Young Madam was allergic to mangoes!"

Li Shengtian, still skeptical, asked, "But Yanran had an allergic reaction because of the juice you sent her. You say you know nothing about it? Do you think I'll believe you?"

"Old Chairman, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask anyone else. I really haven't touched the mango. I swear I'm telling the truth, or I'll get hit by a car and die!" In order to make Li Shengtian believe her, He Lin immediately raised three fingers and swore to God.

The other servants just watched He Lin struggle and defend herself as if it were a joke, and no one was willing to come forward to testify for her.

Some even muttered under their breath, "This kind of oath has no binding force at all; anyone can just swear one!"

"Exactly! She always acts all high and mighty, looking down on everyone else, and she's always trying to climb into the young masters' beds. She must have spent a lot of money to find out that the second young mistress is allergic to mangoes, and then secretly made her have an allergic reaction so that she could have a chance to take her place. She's really vicious!"

"If you put it that way, then I remember that the fruit in the refrigerator was what she went to buy!"

The whispers among the group reached Li Shengtian and Sun Mingyan's ears. "You guys, what are you saying? Speak up!"

The group of people trembled with fear and exchanged glances several times. The last one, who was a little bolder, said, "To the old chairman, we can testify that He Lin did it on purpose. Usually, the fruit in the old house is purchased by Butler Han himself. Only today did she go to buy it for Butler Han. She also bought a lot of fruit that was not on the shopping list, including mangoes, which has never happened before."

Li Shengtian frowned and glanced at Han Shengli beside him, asking, "Xiao Han, is what he said true?"

Han Shengli nodded with a gloomy expression. "Yes, sir. I asked He Lin to buy the fruit, but it was just the seasonal fruit that we usually eat at home. There were no mangoes."

Because mangoes are a bit too sweet and not suitable for the elderly, Han Shengli always makes a point of avoiding them when he goes to buy fruit.

If it weren't for the fact that today is the 100-day celebration for the two young masters and young ladies, and he had to personally supervise many things, he wouldn't have been able to leave. So he temporarily sent He Lin instead. Little did he know that she would have such malicious intentions behind his back!

Li Shengtian narrowed his sharp, sinister eyes and asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say now?"

"I...I admit, I bought the mangoes, but it was only because I was greedy. I took advantage of the opportunity that Butler Han gave me to buy them for myself, thinking that I would sneak them back to my room to eat when no one was around. I never intended to give them to the Second Young Madam. I was wrong, Chairman, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so greedy and used the master's money to buy things for myself. But I absolutely never intended to harm the Second Young Madam, absolutely not. Please believe me!" After He Lin finished speaking, she knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading with Li Shengtian.

Although Li Shengtian appears stern and unsmiling, he is actually quite kind and approachable, especially towards the servants in his household. Even if they make mistakes, he only punishes them lightly as a warning.

But today's matter concerns Shen Yanran's life, and he will absolutely not show any mercy this time!

Li Shengtian's cold and terrifying gaze swept lightly across He Lin's face. "I don't care what your reason was for buying the mangoes. My granddaughter-in-law has already had an allergic reaction to them. You also delivered that orange juice with mango in it. It's impossible for you to say that it has nothing to do with you. Since you're unwilling to tell the truth, I'll have to use some special methods. Xiao Han, take her away and interrogate her properly."

Han Shengli nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, sir."

Although He Lin didn't know where Butler Han would take her, her intuition told her that the place was terrifying. "No, I won't go, please, Chairman, don't let Butler Han take me away. It really wasn't my fault that the Second Young Madam had an allergic reaction. I... I have a witness, yes, I have a witness. Someone saw me making juice today! She can testify for me!"

witness?

If what she said is true, why hasn't that person come forward yet? Or is she deliberately lying to buy time?

Li Shengtian said, "Fine, I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence, so you won't say I wronged you."

He Lin immediately seized the opportunity and looked around behind her, saying, "I remember that woman's name is Xiaoyu. She was temporarily asked to fill in for me today. She was washing dishes in the kitchen and reminded me that I had dropped my money. Xiaoyu, where are you? Xiaoyu, please come out and testify for me! Xiaoyu, please!"

However, none of the servants responded to her.

In order to protect herself, He Lin rushed in like a madwoman, searching everywhere for the woman named Xiao Yu.

Just when everyone thought she was making up a lie, they suddenly pulled out a pale-faced, thin woman wearing black-rimmed glasses from the corner. "It's you! Quick, explain yourself! I didn't go to the refrigerator to get a mango, did I?"

The person who was rescued was Shen Yufei, but of course she wouldn't testify for He Lin. So she put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look and said, "I'm sorry, Sister He Lin, I can't go against my conscience and give false testimony for you, because I did see you take mangoes to make juice, and I also accidentally overheard you talking on the phone with someone called Young Master Awei, saying that you had succeeded and were waiting for him to transfer money to you, and so on..."
