The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

When Shi Shenzhi saw Gu Moxuan walk in and speak, his gaze was fixed on him, and his expression was exceptionally natural, his eyes calm.

"Is Mr. Gu talking to me?"

Upon hearing Shi Shenzhi's words, Gu Moxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he quickly calmed down.

"Mr. Huo, besides you, is there anyone else here with the surname Huo?"

Shi Shenzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, put down his chopsticks, and a complex emotion flashed in his dark eyes. He sat quietly in his chair, remained silent for a while, and then said in a low voice.

"Then Mr. Gu may have mistaken you for someone else."

Lin Qingran watched the changes in Shi Shenzhi's expression.

When he said these words, he showed no sign of guilt whatsoever; on the contrary, his expression was unusually serious, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Either Shi Shenzhi's acting was too good, or they were all wrong.

But how could there be two people in this world who are exactly alike?

They are so similar that no flaws can be detected.

However, it's not surprising that Shi Shenzhi is calling Gu Moxuan by his surname at this time.

During this period, let alone someone like Shi Shenzhi who is in the business world.

Even people outside the business world know Gu Moxuan.

After all, Gu Moxuan has been the richest man in China for two consecutive years since he came to the capital.

Therefore, Gu Moxuan's reputation is now soaring, and the events that have occurred recently have further increased his fame.

However, this newfound fame did not bring him any benefits.

Upon hearing Shi Shenzhi's words, Gu Moxuan frowned.

At this moment, Mr. Sun also noticed the unusual situation between them and quickly came out to mediate.

"Mr. Gu, you've really mistaken him. Mr. Shi is from Country Y. Although he looks very similar to the eldest son of the Huo family, he is not the eldest son of the Huo family."

"When I first worked with Mr. Shi, I was also taken aback by his appearance. However, Mr. Shi is definitely not Young Master Huo."

Back then, the Huo family was very influential in City A, and who didn't know the eldest son of the Huo family?

However, this Mr. Shi in front of us really has no connection with the Huo family.

Mr. Sun also consulted with others about it.

The Huo family also publicly stated that the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Huo family have been uncertain in recent years, and they do not know where he is.

It's quite common for Gu Moxuan to mistake someone for someone else now.

So Mr. Sun quickly stepped forward to explain.

Upon hearing President Sun's words, Gu Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a scrutinizing glint in them.

Lin Qingran sat quietly next to Shi Shenzhi, her expression indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.

Seeing the change in Lin Qingran's expression, Gu Moxuan involuntarily clenched his fist, his expression turning somewhat grim, and said in a deep voice.

"Really? There really aren't two people in this world who are that similar. If Mr. Sun hadn't explained, I would have thought that Mr. Shi and the eldest son of the Huo family were twin brothers."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shenzhi's lips curled slightly, his eyes remaining calm. His gaze lingered on Lin Qingran as he spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

"Did Miss Lin mistake me for that Mr. Huo on the plane before? It seems that many people have thought so over the years. I have tried to find out more about him, but I haven't gotten much information."

He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Lin Qingran, his eyes full of invitation.

"If Miss Lin doesn't mind, could we find a time another day so that Miss Lin can have a proper talk with me about that person's deeds?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran nodded gently, her tone calm and natural, and answered in a low voice.

"of course can."

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's reply, Gu Moxuan's expression immediately turned ugly.

Her gaze was fixed on Lin Qingran, her eyes filled with an extremely unpleasant expression.

Mr. Sun knew about the past relationship between Gu Moxuan and Lin Qingran, so when he saw Gu Moxuan's extremely unwilling gaze fall on Lin Qingran, everyone knew what it meant.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Qingran remained completely calm, showing no sign of panic.

She would sometimes talk to Yan Sui beside her, and sometimes answer Shi Shenzhi and President Sun's questions with a smile.

Although the dinner was awkward, she remained remarkably composed.

Throughout the entire process, it was as if Gu Moxuan had no presence at all in her eyes.

Gu Moxuan's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, suddenly clenched tightly.

At this moment, Assistant Zou stood up from his seat and said with a smile.

"Ms. Lin, as the only woman present throughout the entire event, let me first offer you a toast."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran looked up, saw Assistant Zou's forced smile, pursed her red lips, and then reached out to pick up her wine glass.

Assistant Zou was standing, but Lin Qingran showed no intention of standing up.

When Assistant Zou's wine glass touched Lin Qingran's, Lin Qingran extended her slender fingers and pressed down Assistant Zou's glass, which was clearly higher than hers.

Her movements were fluid and graceful, with a faint smile on her face, before she took a small sip of the wine in her glass.

Assistant Zou's wine glass was pressed down by Lin Qingran, and his expression turned ugly. His hands clenched unconsciously, and his eyes were fierce.

Lin Qingran took a sip of wine and then put down the glass.

Assistant Zou reluctantly drank the wine.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy again.

Seeing that Gu Moxuan's expression was not good, obviously because of the news about Lin Qingran, Assistant Zou looked at Lin Qingran and spoke.

"Miss Lin, you've signed so many deals in the capital lately. These were all previously the business of the Emperor Group. Don't you plan to have a drink with President Gu?"

As Assistant Zou spoke, he glanced at the wine glass in front of Gu Moxuan.

The wine glass in front of Gu Moxuan was empty.

When Lin Qingran heard what Assistant Zou said, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. It was just another dirty trick in the workplace.

Did Assistant Zou think that she, being a woman, would be stage-frightened in such a setting?

Lin Qingran smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Gu Moxuan, and said in a calm voice.

"We should indeed thank President Gu and the Emperor Group for giving the Lin family such a great opportunity."

As she spoke, she raised her glass.

Gu Moxuan glanced coldly at Lin Qingran, and hearing her polite yet distant tone, he really wanted to tear off her smiling mask and see her true emotions.

He glanced indifferently at the wine in his glass and said in a low voice.

"My glass is empty, could you please refill it for me, Miss Lin?"

Gu Moxuan was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow and glanced at the waiter standing behind them.

The waiter immediately stepped forward, but was stopped by Gu Moxuan with a gesture.

The waiter looked at Gu Moxuan's actions with a stiff expression and seemed somewhat at a loss.

"I just want Miss Lin to pour me some wine."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran smiled slightly, put down her wine glass, and stared at Gu Moxuan without saying a word.

Yan Sui, who was sitting next to her, got up from his chair, picked up the wine bottle on the table, looked at Gu Moxuan, and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Gu, let me pour you some wine."

Gu Moxuan glanced at Yan Sui and saw that Yan Sui was about to pour his wine into his glass. He then reached out and picked up the glass, causing Yan Sui's wine to spill outside the glass.

Gu Moxuan just wanted Lin Qingran to pour him wine.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yan Sui's face.

At this moment, Lin Qingran glanced at Yan Sui out of the corner of her eye, then gestured for Yan Sui to sit down and said softly.

"Mr. Gu may not have figured out where we are. This is a restaurant, not a bar, nor 'Night Charm'. I am not Miss Lu. I will pour you a drink."

Mentioning Lu Xueqi, Gu Moxuan's expression suddenly darkened, becoming extremely unpleasant.

Everyone present knew about Gu Moxuan's past relationship with Lu Xueqi.

After all, Lu Xueqi's car accident caused quite a stir.

After saying these words, Lin Qingran smiled faintly and said softly.

"If Mr. Gu is not satisfied with the drinks here, you can go to the bar later. The hostesses there are all very beautiful. Mr. Gu can just call them over and they will come and go as he pleases."

Gu Moxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them.

He looked coldly at Lin Qingran and said in a deep voice.

"Miss Lin, are you deliberately trying to offend me?"

As soon as Gu Moxuan said those words, the atmosphere in the air became exceptionally tense.

Especially the three assistants who came with Shi Shenzhi, at this moment it was as if they had unexpectedly fallen into a struggle.

Upon hearing Gu Moxuan's words, Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile on her face, and said casually.

"I don't know where Mr. Gu's words come from."

She paused for a moment, then spoke softly.

"However, the conflict between me and President Gu really needs to be resolved. The part of the Emperor Group that belongs to me and my child, President Gu has held onto for so many years, it really should be handed over to me."

As she spoke, a slight smile played on her lips, and she spoke calmly and evenly in front of Shi Shenzhi and the others.

"I'll go to the Emperor Group another day and ask the finance department to do a liquidation."

Gu Moxuan's face was dark and ugly.

Lin Qingran had a faint smile on her face.

She noticed that both President Sun and President He were silent, looking as if they were lost in thought.

Lin Qingran could tell from their expressions that they were probably calculating the benefits of cooperating with her.

She owns 25% of the shares in the Emperor Group. If she were to intervene in the Emperor Group, the company would truly be in turmoil.

Shi Shenzhi was not interested in any of this, but he was very interested in Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran deliberately brought up the issue of the Emperor Group in front of President Sun and President He in order to appease them.

After all, Gu Moxuan had been at the top of the rich list for two years, and they dared not offend him easily. At this time, they naturally dared not side with Lin Qingran.

However, if Lin Qingran owns shares in the Emperor Group and can intervene in the Emperor Group, the situation will be completely different.

The situation is serious now that the Geely Group is facing so many problems.

If Lin Qingran were to intervene... not only would she not be able to seize power, but she might even be able to usurp the throne.
