After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

On the way back to the Heavenly Realm.

Su Yanxi turned her head to look at Gu Yannian, still unable to suppress her curiosity: "How did you know I was here? Did Zhao Xu tell you?"

"Ah."

"Zhao Xu is a good person in every way, except that he talks too much."

Hearing this, Gu Yannian chuckled and relaxed completely: "If it weren't for Zhao Xu, I wouldn't have known that the little princess was being bullied by the old witch!"

"What little princess and old witch?"

Su Yanxi was amused again, and her good mood made all the fatigue of the evening seem to disappear.

Why weren't you told that this happened?

Joking aside, the important matter still needed to be addressed. Actually, Gu Yannian had already noticed something was off with Su Yanxi yesterday, but Su Yanxi herself said she was fine, so he didn't press the matter. Today, Zhao Xu specifically called to tell him, and he rushed over immediately upon hearing the news. However, he didn't expect to arrive too late.

“I know Tianrun is of great significance to Changfeng. But they can’t deliberately make things difficult for you because of that, can they? You should have told me immediately when something like this happened.”

Gu Yannian was well aware of the manipulative tactics these wealthy women used. Blindly complying wouldn't solve anything; it would only embolden them, making them even more arrogant and domineering in the future. Therefore, the only way to completely eliminate this kind of trouble was to address the root cause.

"I didn't expect this to happen, but I had no choice but to ask them for my help."

Su Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to comfort Gu Yannian: "Alright, you don't need to be too angry. I'll be more careful in the future and try my best not to be bullied again!"

"That's the best thing that you think that way. You should rest for a bit, and I'll call you when we get home."

"Ah."

With Gu Yannian by her side, Su Yanxi closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Upon arriving at Tianyu, Gu Yannian originally intended to call Su Yanxi, but seeing that Su Yanxi was sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to disturb her. She picked her up and carried her upstairs, carefully placing her on the bed before tiptoeing out of the room.

Stepping onto the balcony, Gu Yannian took out her phone, hesitated for a long time, and then made a call.

The call was answered quickly, and the other end of the line sounded slightly surprised: "Yan Nian? Is this Yan Nian?"

"Uncle Li, it's me, Gu Yannian! There's something I'd like to tell you..."

……

Li family.

Mrs. Li asked the maid to bring Mrs. Wu a cup of coffee, and said with a smile, "Xiufang, please try it, how is this coffee?"

"Let me try it." Mrs. Wu took a sip and nodded repeatedly: "It tastes quite good."

"I know you like coffee, I'll bring some back with me later."

"You still remember me."

"If I don't remember you, who else could I remember?"

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu were chatting and laughing when they heard the sound of a car outside.

"Could it be that President Li is back?"

"No, Old Li won't be back that soon."

As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, there was a noise from the entrance hall, and the next moment, Li Huasheng walked in from outside.

Upon seeing Li Huasheng, Mrs. Li stood up in surprise: "Why are you back at this time? Didn't you say the other day that you wouldn't be back for another half month?"

"I'm asking you, what have you been doing these past few days?"

Li Huasheng's face was grim, and his tone was unfriendly.

"What do you mean by this? What can I do?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Wu, somewhat embarrassed, then turned to Li Huasheng and whispered, "What's wrong with you? You're interrogating me as soon as you get back, even though we have guests here."

Li Huasheng didn't care about anything else and immediately launched into a tirade against his wife: "You still have the nerve to ask me what happened? While I was abroad, you had the company suspend its cooperation with Changfeng. Not only that, you also took the opportunity to mess with Changfeng's General Manager Su. What were you thinking?"

Changfeng is a partner of Tianrun. You just suspend operations like that? What will our industry peers think of us if word gets out? Also, when President Su came to see you, you actually ordered people to be your waitresses and even made them shine other people's shoes! What were you thinking?

Do you realize that what you're doing is slapping me in the face!

Mrs. Li's eyes immediately reddened after being scolded by Li Huasheng. Similar incidents had occurred several times before, but Li Huasheng had never uttered a harsh word then. Why was this time different?

Seeing Mrs. Li's reddened eyes, Li Huasheng's anger subsided slightly, but his words were still harsh: "From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in any matters of the company, do you hear me!"

Mrs. Li nodded with a wronged expression, and Li Huasheng then turned and left angrily.

After Li Huasheng left, Mrs. Li finally burst into tears. Mrs. Wu, who had been sitting silently to the side for a long time, quickly got up and coaxed her to sit down. Actually, Mrs. Wu had wanted to leave earlier, but before she could even speak, Li Huasheng had already lost his temper, forcing her to remain seated and watch the couple's argument unfold.

"Actually, it's not surprising that Mr. Li is angry. I also felt it was inappropriate of you to treat Ms. Su like that before," Mrs. Wu said, sitting next to Mrs. Li and holding her hand.

Why didn't you say so back then?

"Can you listen to me?" Mrs. Wu retorted. "With Ye Sha around, you won't listen to anything I say."

Mrs. Li felt embarrassed after Mrs. Wu had hit the nail on the head and didn't reply.

"I was puzzled when Ye Sha contacted you. Why would she target President Su like this? President Su is a young woman who built her career from scratch. The fact that she's in this position shows she's capable. You'd be happy to befriend someone like that, so why would you listen to Ye Sha and take this opportunity to mess with her?"

Unlike Ye Sha, Mrs. Wu admired Su Yanxi from the first moment she saw her. So whenever Ye Sha brought people to make things difficult for Su Yanxi, Mrs. Wu would step in to smooth things over. Unfortunately, Mrs. Li was blinded by greed and ignored her. Frankly, she couldn't understand what Su Yanxi had done to offend Ye Sha, that Ye Sha would target her so relentlessly.

"Ye Sha and I asked for help, so I had no choice but to help. I never expected things to turn out this way."

Mrs. Li blamed everything on Ye Sha, completely forgetting that Ye Sha wouldn't have gone so far as to push her luck if it weren't for her tacit approval.

Upon hearing Mrs. Li's words, Mrs. Wu knew that the other woman hadn't truly recognized her mistake. She was only acting this way because Li Huasheng was angry.

"It's too late to say anything now. When Mr. Li comes back, apologize to him and have a proper talk, and this matter will be over. In the future, just remember not to be used as a pawn by anyone again!"
