Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 56 Unable to Win Hearts

“Well, I’ll take you there to take a look first. If it’s really necessary, I’ll discuss it with the other party.” Li Jun couldn’t agree to her right away; even if he sent a novice, the other party would have to agree.

Qin Fengjiao nodded with great joy. As long as he gave her a chance, she would leave the rest to her own fate.

When Shen Menghan was almost back, she called Qin Fengjiao, but she didn't answer after several attempts. She couldn't help but wonder if Qin Fengjiao had lost track of time while working overtime.

Forced to look at Li Zhicheng, she asked helplessly, "Linglong is working overtime. Do you know her company's phone number?"

"This is Li Jun's phone number. Ask Li Jun."

Li Zhicheng handed his phone to her without reservation, letting her make the call directly.

Shen Menghan hesitated for a long time before dialing the number.

Li Jun and Qin Fengjiao had arrived at the venue and were waiting for the other party's reply. When they saw the president's call, the hairs on his body stood on end, and even answering the phone made him look serious.

"Hello, President."

"Assistant Li, this is Shen Menghan. I'd like to ask if you know the phone number for Qin Fengjiao's company? I'm looking for her."

Hearing Li Jun's dull voice, Shen Menghan was stunned. It was nothing like the person she usually knew.

"Miss Shen? Miss Qin is with me, working outside." Li Jun was even more puzzled, wondering why Shen Menghan would call him using the president's phone.

"Working outside? What kind of work?" Shen Menghan immediately became wary, worried that Linglong would be forced into something as soon as she arrived. Especially since she had heard some bad rumors before, what if they forced Linglong to do something shady?

"Ms. Shen, we are out arranging a hosting event. Please rest assured, she is perfectly safe." Li Jun was still unusually cautious in his speech, worried that the president might be right next to Tao Menghan.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. Have her call me back when you're done." Shen Menghan thought that since it was safe, there was no need to worry. But as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately asked, "Where are you? I'll come over and check."

Thinking that this was Linglong's first job, she had to support her. Maybe if she was there, Linglong could perform even better.

Li Zhicheng said from the side, "Aren't you tired after sitting in the car for so long?"

Shen Menghan glanced at him coldly and replied dismissively, "As long as it's Linglong's business, I have to get up even if I'm asleep."

"What if it were my problem?" Li Zhicheng looked at her with a hint of expectation; he also wanted to receive the same treatment as Qin Fengjiao.

"You're so powerful, you don't need my help at all. Just look at where you are and take me there, thank you."

Now, Shen Menghan no longer feels embarrassed to order him around like before. Even if the agreement is irreversible, she's willing to go all out and see how long he can hold out.

"it is good."

Li Zhicheng was heartbroken. His relationship with Xiaohan seemed to have taken a step forward, but it was also different. He could wield great power in the business world, but he was completely helpless in front of the woman he loved. He even felt that a woman's heart was not only unfathomable, but also as unfathomable as sand in the waves!

"Xiaomeng, how about we bring your grandma and the others to live with us?" He was going all out to make the girl look at him in a new light, hoping she would let down her guard.

“They didn’t want to come out. If they had, they would have come earlier. Why would they have bothered you?” Shen Menghan scoffed, dismissing his good intentions.

“I always felt that your family was prejudiced against my surname, as if they were full of hostility. Xiaohan, is there a misunderstanding?” Li Zhicheng still spoke his mind.

“My family treats everyone the same. You’re the first man I brought home.” Shen Menghan let slip the truth before she spoke.

"Li Guowei has never come back with you before?" Li Zhicheng was surprised. He thought that since she had met Li Dahai, she must have brought Li Guowei home to meet her parents.

"He's not qualified!" Luckily she didn't bring it; otherwise, she would be the laughingstock of the whole village!

Shen Menghan feels disgusted whenever she thinks of Li Guowei. It's better to see his true colors sooner rather than later than be betrayed by him and Xu Jingjing after marriage!

"How did you cope with the torment when Li Guowei and Xu Jingjing betrayed you?"

He desperately wanted to know, hoping to share some of her pain, but little did he know that this only reopened the wounds in her heart.

She kept it all to herself, and Linglong wasn't around at the time. She used work to numb herself. Who knew that the wedding dress she had painstakingly designed was actually ordered by Xu Jingjing through someone else!

She pressed her lips together, remaining silent. If she could do it all over again, she would still not regret breaking up with Li Guowei. She only regretted not asking clearly who the bride was back then, and only taking orders as soon as they came in. At that time, the person specifically asked her to design, and she thought that the person came because they admired her!

"Xiaohan, it's all in the past. Having me in your future is enough. No matter what happens, remember that I'll be there to support you." Li Zhicheng gazed at her tenderly.

"Look ahead, I don't want to get into a car accident!"

Shen Menghan retorted to him, "What if he gets into a car accident like this!"

She should just listen to what he said; if she took it seriously, she would lose.

"Xiaohan, if you say you're marrying me, I believe your grandmother and your mother will definitely come with us." Li Zhicheng kept going, trying to get her to give in.

"Shut up!" Shen Menghan glared at him fiercely. It would have been better if he hadn't brought it up, because the more he did, the deeper the rift in her heart became. Her mother's words were still vivid in her mind: she couldn't be with him, because that would be breaking her promise to her mother.

Although she didn't know why she hated the man surnamed Li so much, she felt there must be a hidden story behind it. If asking further would bring back painful memories for her mother, she would rather not ask. If she loved her mother, she had to think of her and not let her be hurt by the past.

Li Zhicheng had no idea about any of this. After being shouted at by Shen Menghan, he stopped talking and lowered his head with a wronged look on his face. Did Xiaohan not like him?

How could you change your attitude so suddenly?

However, he wouldn't be so easily defeated. He would continue to work hard to help Xiaohan open her heart as soon as possible.

Qin Fengjiao and Li Jun were still waiting. When the other party saw Qin Fengjiao, their first thought was: What is this delinquent girl doing here?

But when Qin Fengjiao read the script to her, she couldn't help but look at her with new eyes and immediately decided to let her try. In fact, this was also an event of the Li family, only the departments were divided more finely.

"Perform well. If you succeed this time, Xu Yun will definitely guide you step by step. But if you're a hopeless case, it's hard to say. Xu Yun isn't an easy person to get along with. Even if President Li protects you, she'll still reject you!"

Seeing that Qin Fengjiao had won the other party's favor, Li Jun couldn't help but remind her.

Qin Fengjiao stared at him for a long time before saying, "Thank you, Assistant Li."

"Don't thank me. You have to rely on your own abilities to survive in the Li family. Otherwise, don't even think about gaining a foothold. Even if you manage to get in, you'll be kicked out in less than three months." Li Jun suddenly became righteous and stern. This was no joke.
