My Beautiful CEO.

As expected, Zhang Qing was furious when she heard this. She stepped forward and slapped Li Tao across the face.

"Li Tao, you bastard, what do you take me for?"

"Am I some kind of gift you can just give away whenever you want?"

As Zhang Qing spoke, her face turned ashen, and she kept stomping her feet on the ground before downing the wine in her glass in one gulp.

That looked terrifying.

Li Tao covered his face, showing no sign of backing down. He continued to say to Zhang Qing, "Wife, hit me! Hit me hard! Anyway, I, Li Tao, have wronged you for the rest of my life!"

"It's better for Li Cheng to be the Zhang family's son-in-law than for a good-for-nothing like me!"

"Over the years, I've seen through everything in the Zhang family! Your mother is eager to hold her grandson. If my departure can make her feel a little better, I'll be content!"

"Li Tao, you bastard!" Zhang Qing was furious, pointing her finger at Li Tao's nose and cursing, "Since when has it become my mother's place to decide my affairs?"

As she spoke, Zhang Qing raised her hand, about to strike Li Tao again.

However, at this moment, Zhang Qing found herself feeling weak all over and slowly falling towards the edge of the bed.

"You... Li Tao, what did you put in the drink?"

"Here's the thing, honey, tonight I only ask you to do one thing. You probably don't know yet, but Li Cheng and Qian Xiaoqian broke up. He hasn't slept with a woman since. I'm begging you, please grant him this wish!"

Li Tao finally got to the crux of the matter.

At this moment, Li Cheng had already lowered his head in shame, not daring to look Zhang Qing in the eye.

Zhang Qing was so angry that her eyes turned black.

After all that, it turns out Li Tao was plotting against me! And he even got Li Cheng to sleep with me?

What kind of man is he?

Just how twisted is his mind?

At this moment, Zhang Qing was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Honey, I know you must be feeling bad, but for me, it's the best way to break free from my mental shackles!"

"Tomorrow, you can tell your mother that you've accepted Li Cheng as your son-in-law!"

"Although Li Cheng and I have worked together for two years, we have always addressed each other as brothers! I know his character very well!"

"From now on, he will take good care of you and protect you!"

"Over the years, you've put on a brave face, but deep down you've always longed for a man to cherish you!"

"Actually, I understand everything—the pressure from my family, and the pressure from the group company..."

"Now, let's both be free!"

"Wife, you've really worked hard all these years..."

Li Tao went on and on about a whole bunch of things.

Before Li Tao could finish speaking, Zhang Qing gritted her teeth, struggled to raise her hand, and tried to slap Li Tao across the face.

But she just couldn't muster any strength and lay there limply.

Without further ado, Li Tao knelt down on the ground again with a thud.

Li Cheng's legs trembled uncontrollably as he watched the scene unfold before him.

The scene was so heartbreaking that he couldn't help but kneel down as well.

"Sister Qing, don't blame Brother Tao. It's all because of that Boss Zhang!"

"Back then, it was Boss Zhang who ruined Brother Tao's dignity as a man!"

"Brother Tao has been holding back for so long, and tonight he finally exploded! For him to be alive now is nothing short of torture!"

After listening to Li Cheng's request, Zhang Qing finally calmed down.

Her face was already covered with tear tracks.

Seeing the two grown men kneeling before her, Zhang Qing almost fainted instantly.

In a daze, she recalled Li Tao's recent behavior, and Zhang Qing suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, Li Tao had long been prepared to leave the Zhang family in order to seek his own liberation.

That's good too. In any case, neither of them should be tied to the shadow of their families.

"Li Tao, Li Cheng, get up first and listen to me..." Zhang Qing said weakly.

Li Cheng helped Li Tao to his feet.

Li Tao struggled to get to Zhang Qing, poured a glass of wine for each of the three of them, and said with his still red eyes, "Wife, Li Cheng, if you think highly of me, Li Tao, let's drink together!"

"From now on, though the world may be vast and distant, I, Li Tao, will always remember you all!"

Zhang Qing and Li Cheng didn't dare to say a word, frightened by Li Tao's appearance.

The air solidified again.

Finally, Zhang Qing raised the glass and, despite feeling weak all over, drank it down with great difficulty.

Li Cheng, in a daze, also drank it down.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle again.

Zhang Qing knew all too well that Li Tao would leave the Zhang family after tonight.

The resulting consequences will inevitably alarm the shareholders at the group's headquarters.

What Zhang Qing least wanted to see was the various suspicions and accusations from the shareholders.

The Zhang family will gradually put pressure on Zhang Qing.

Thinking about this, Zhang Qing felt a headache coming on.

Actually, this is a good thing for Li Tao! He can finally let go of the grievances and burdens he has carried for so many years.

For Li Cheng, this was an unspoken understanding.

Sister Qing is a woman he has secretly admired for a long time. If Li Tao steps down and makes way for her, he can take advantage of this opportunity to make Sister Qing his woman.

Only in this way could Li Cheng be able to get along well with both sides in the Zhang family.

He could both win over the woman he secretly loved and openly seek out his family's traditional Chinese medicine manual.

Making his family prosperous is the mission Li Cheng shoulders.

Therefore, Li Cheng didn't say much, but secretly looked forward to it in his heart.

After seeing Zhang Qing drink the glass of wine, Li Tao let out a long sigh of relief.

However, he had no idea how much Zhang Qing was suffering at that moment.

Her marriage to Li Tao was based on a family alliance. Even though Li Tao was a cripple, as long as she didn't break up with him, the shareholders in the group wouldn't cause trouble at the Zhang family's home.

In this way, Zhang Qing can remain firmly in her position as the company's female CEO, ensuring the Zhang family's continued prosperity.

But now, Li Tao has ruined that glory.

For the first time, Zhang Qing also had the urge to get drunk and stop.

Before long, each of the three men, preoccupied with their own thoughts, raised their glasses and began to drink heartily.

Originally, Zhang Qing couldn't hold her liquor; whenever she drank, she would feel dizzy and drowsy.

But today, she opened her heart and drank boldly.

After drinking two glasses of baijiu, coupled with the effects of the previous medication, Zhang Qing quickly felt unwell.

Her pretty face was slowly turning red.

Seeing Zhang Qing's rosy face, Li Cheng suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

In her hazy, drunken state, Zhang Qing glanced at Li Cheng, her mind in a daze.

Her voice rang out softly: "Li Tao, are you really not going to regret this? If Li Cheng sleeps with me tonight, from now on, I'll be Li Cheng's woman!"

"Of...of course!" Li Tao, already drunk, slurred, "I...I want to drink!"

Seeing that his glass was empty, he stood up unsteadily, looking somewhat deranged.

"There's no more wine now, what else do you want?" Zhang Qing got up lightly, waved her hand gently at Li Cheng from the bed, and said, "How about you call the hotel and ask them to send two more bottles?"
