Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Your Wife is Awesome
Li Jiajunâs heart skipped a beat. This woman wasnât joking.
In less than a minute, he received a call from his father!
An angry roar came through the phone.
Li Jiajunâs body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
Itâs over! This time Iâve really messed with the wrong people.
He immediately knelt on the ground. "Miss Qin, Iâm sorry! I was blind. Please, give Ryan Group a chance to survive..."
He knew that Ryan Group was doomed the moment the Qin Family withdrew their investment. Qin Lanâs announcement to blacklist the company was like pulling the rug out from under them, sending Ryan Group straight to its ruin!
The young man beside Qin Lan snapped his fingers impatiently. "Throw him out."
Two burly men immediately dragged Li Jiajun out.
Luo Qingliâs head was still buzzing.
The Zhonghai Qin Family... the Third Miss?
She still hadnât processed the fact that Qin Lan had such an influential background.
Seeing her dazed expression, Qin Lan chuckled. "Qingli, you didnât expect this, did you?"
"I really didnât. To think that you, Sister Lan, were a hidden powerhouse after working at my company for all these years," Luo Qingli replied, overwhelmed with emotion.
Ling Zhenghaoâs gaze swept over Luo Qingli, a hint of heat in his eyes.
Qin Lan was his fiancĂ©e, but she had never let him even hold her hand since their engagement. When she said she was returning to Yuncheng City to visit her best friend, he had shamelessly tagged along. After all, traveling together is a great opportunity to spark some chemistry, right? He hadnât expected to discover that Qin Lanâs best friend was also such a peerless beauty! As a playboy, his mind immediately started racing with schemes. He wouldnât dare force himself on Qin Lan, but he was confident that he could easily reel in a small-time CEO like Luo Qingli with just a little bait.
He cleared his throat. "Lan, arenât you going to introduce me to these two?"
Hearing his intimate form of address, Chen Xiaoâs brow furrowed, an inexplicable irritation rising within him.
Qin Lan made the introductions. "This is my fiancé, Ling Zhenghao, the eldest son of the Zhonghai Ling Family."
"This is my best friend, Luo Qingli, whom Iâve told you about."
"And this gentleman is Qingliâs husband, Chen Xiao."
A flash of jealousy crossed Ling Zhenghaoâs eyes as he glanced at Chen Xiao.
How could this loser be so lucky as to marry such a stunning woman?
Chen Xiao was even more disgusted.
This guyâs eyes are practically glowing as he stares at Luo Qingli. Heâs clearly up to no good.
Ling Zhenghao cleared his throat. "Mr. Chen, you seem a bit hostile toward me."
"And isnât it a bit impolite for you, Young Master Ling, to be staring at another manâs wife?" Chen Xiao retorted coolly.
"Mr. Chen, youâre quite possessive," Ling Zhenghao shrugged, laughing unabashedly. "But Miss Luo is such a great beauty. Isnât it normal for me to take a few extra looks?"
"A real man should be able to protect his own woman, not complain and blame others for looking at her. Right?"
"Youâre right," Chen Xiao sneered, noticing that Qin Lan had playfully winked at him.
Ling Zhenghao cleared his throat again, his heated gaze fixed on Luo Qingli. "Lan has been in Yuncheng for years, thanks to Miss Luoâs care. As her fiancĂ©, now that Iâm here, itâs only right that I thank her properly."
"As it happens, Iâve already booked a table at a hotel. Iâd like to invite Miss Luo and Mr. Chen to dine with us... Would you two do us the honor?"
Qin Lan also smiled. "Qingli, letâs walk ahead and have a private chat. We can let these two smelly men walk by themselves."
With that, she took Luo Qingliâs hand, and they started walking out.
The two women walked ahead, their graceful, swaying figures creating a beautiful scene. Soon, only Ling Zhenghao and Chen Xiao were left.
Ling Zhenghao strode over. "My friend, you may not look like much, but youâre a lucky man to have married a beauty like Miss Luo."
"Your fiancée is quite wonderful too," Chen Xiao responded lightly.
Ling Zhenghaoâs eyelid twitched.
Why does that sound so strange?
Ling Zhenghao scanned Chen Xiao with contempt. "Judging by your appearance, you donât have much of a say with Miss Luo, do you? Youâre probably just a tool she uses to keep up appearances... Iâm not going to beat around the bush. Let me show you a clear path.
"I have a good feeling about Miss Luo. Later, if you know whatâs good for you, youâll turn a blind eye when weâre alone... As long as this young master has his fun, youâll be guaranteed a life of riches and glory.
"With my status, even the smallest resource that slips through my fingers is enough for you to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. Thatâs a great deal, isnât it?"
After all, given his status, countless people had willingly offered their wives and girlfriends to him in exchange for fortune. In his mind, his interest in Luo Qingli was an honor for Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao also laughed, staring at him coldly. "How about this? Iâll show you a clear path too. Send your mother over to me for my enjoyment, and Iâll accept you as my son. How does that sound?"
