Chapter 43: Discovering the Secret

id that way. Actually, if Lu Xi could marry into the Li family, it would also bring her good fortune. What else is there for her to complain about""What good fortune There’s nothing satisfactory about...Chapter 43 Discovering Secrets

Since the day Li An admitted with his own mouth that he had someone special in his heart, Shao Meizhu has been living in fear, anxiety, frustration, and neurosis. Hearing what Li An said now, she felt extremely wronged. With a disturbingly acidic look, she stared at He Yufan and shouted: "What's so great about her that you would treat yourself like this for her!"

Li An, who could solve any work problems with ease, suddenly felt powerless in the face of Shao Meizhu’s unreasonable behavior. She didn’t feel grateful at all for sticking up for him and shot a cold glare at her disheveled appearance, his beautiful lips curling into an expression of extreme disgust: "My personal affairs have nothing to do with you. I’ll tell you this, Shao Meizhu. If you dare come to my company again and act recklessly like this, regardless of who your mother or maternal grandfather is, I will deal with you first before anything else!"

Shao Meizhu stared at Li An blankly for a couple of seconds. His extremely sarcastic tone and ruthless words felt like thorny vines whipping her heart mercilessly. She suddenly screamed and broke free from the grip behind her, lunging once more at He Yufan. Muttering incomprehensible insults with eyes bright as stars, she was like an enraged bull, exuding boundless fury from her frail body that stirred up the surrounding air.

Li An, gritting his teeth in anger and ready to intervene again to pull Shao Meizhu away, turned his head and saw Shao Junhe and Wu Tiantian finally arriving panting.

"You really came just in time!" Li An secretly breathed a sigh of relief but shouted at Shao Junhe with exasperation.

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the road!" Shao Junhe felt sympathetic towards Li An, who was in a fluster; he knew all too well how high his sister's aggressive attributes were. Not wanting to waste any time, he hurriedly ran over with Wu Tiantian to help separate Shao Meizhuo from everyone else.

Seeing Shao Junhe arrive, Li An, who was so angry that he had lost his mind, finally calmed down a little and instructed the secretary on his side to work together with Shao Junhe and Wu Tiantian to get the jumping and hopping Shao Meizhuo out of there. Then, pulling at something, he glared fiercely around him at all the employees watching for entertainment.

At this moment, these employees finally realized that things were not going well; curiosity can kill a cat, but it can also cause harm to people. Watching their boss's predicament like this could have unimaginable consequences. One second later, the entire corridor was left with only Li An, whose suit was slightly disheveled and face pale, and He Yufan, her makeup completely smudged into one.

Li An irritably untied his tie and walked guiltily to He Yufan's side, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble!"

He Yufan didn't look like she had been wronged; instead, she gave him a terrifying smile: "Wronged I think this commotion has only increased my fame in the company. Now everyone knows me!" He Yufan was truly persistent to the end.

Li An was somewhat stunned; it seemed he hadn't handled his ambiguous relationship well. He Yufan had taken things seriously, and reflecting on it, Li An felt something needed fixing. He Yufan was a close friend of Yan Luoxi, and he must clarify the misunderstanding before anything irreversible happens.

Felling that he had misled He Yufan and caused her unnecessary trouble, Li An felt somewhat uneasy, but he covered it up well. Instead, he explained rather solemnly: "The person who came just now is my childhood friend. She was spoiled by her family, so she's willful and任性，做事冇輕重。她有冇有傷到你？我先帶你去醫院檢查一下吧！"

He Yufan stretched her muscles and bones and waved her hand magnanimously: "I'm not a doll. I'm not that delicate. Everything is fine, no need to go to the hospital."

Li An rubbed his forehead in difficulty and said after some thought: "Alright then, take three days off from work. Go home for a wash, rest up, and I'll top up your bonus for this month. Buy yourself something you like to cheer yourself up!"

"How can I accept such kindness" He Yufan giggled in an affected coquettish manner that was terrifyingly shocking, scaring Li An so much he quickly turned his face away: "I'll send you home first." Judging by her current state, she might not even be able to hail a taxi.

"Okay!" He Yufan agreed enthusiastically. The gloom brought on by the fierce battle was swept away by Li An's concern for her. One of her legs had sprained during their tussle just now, but despite feeling uncomfortable, she still insisted on leaning against Li An with a swollen face and an overly slender waist as they walked out of Any International.

The receptionists at the front desk hadn't yet heard about the explosive news that happened outside the PR department. Seeing He Yufan walk out of the elevator arm in arm with Li An, their eyes widened in confusion as they forgot to greet Li An properly.

Lian felt awkward as he led Hey Rufan to his car. He had just opened the car door for her when his phone began ringing urgently. Picking it up, he saw that it was Shao Junhe calling; the slight subsiding of his anger flared up again. Glancing at Rufan in the car, he muttered angrily and walked to one side: "Is your sister mentally ill She came to my company early this morning… What! She wants to commit suicide…"

Rufan watched Lian's imposing figure from a distance, thinking about how he had defended her without hesitation that morning. A smile crept onto her face as she happily hummed a tune and reached into her shoulder bag for the mirror she always carried with her.

Good Lord, the ghastly person smiling back at herself in the mirror was none other than herself!!!

In that moment, Rufan even considered suicide by biting her tongue. She had just been overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions and completely forgotten about how she might have changed after this dramatic struggle. Glancing over at Lian who was on the phone a short distance away, she hurriedly searched through his car in hopes of finding a towel or wet wipes to clean off her colorful face.

Lian’s car interior was immaculately tidy, with an air of masculine ruggedness that permeated every corner. Rufan rummaged around, spotting a bag on the back seat that looked like it might contain something like a towel. She glanced at Lian again and saw him pacing in place while talking on the phone, clearly agitated and unable to finish his conversation anytime soon.

Half out of curiosity and half in search of cleaning supplies, she grabbed the bag. It was unsealed; when she peeked inside, she found a skirt—specifically, a women’s skirt that looked familiar. a smile, leaning forward to talk to her."Sir, are you reincarnated as Lei Feng" Yan Luoxi cheerfully got in the car and wiped her face with a tissue.The driver turned around and smiled, sizing her up...
