illicit relationship

Xiao Tian and Cao Zhilan were currently sitting on the chairs next to the patient bed.

“Lady Cao, this is only my guess, but I think your brother is the one who paid them.” He suspected they were people who were paid by Cao Song.

“I think so too.” Cao Zhilan had the same thought. “He also did something like this to me a few times in the past.”

“Really?” Leng Nichang and Xiao Tian inquired.

“Yes.” Cao Zhilan nodded her head. “Even though he had never had the intention to kill me, but he tried to remove me from the candidate to inherit my father’s position many times.”

She said her brother only stopped trying to hurt her when their father passed down his position to him.

But even so, her brother still monitored her movements because he was still afraid that she would snatch his position.

“Oh right, the doctor said I could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.” Leng Nichang spoke and paused for a second before she continued, “I will go meet the Luo and Di families tomorrow.”

“I will accompany you.” Xiao Tian wanted to accompany her because she still could not walk now.

“Alright.” She agreed instantly.

“Then, I will go meet the major shareholder tomorrow.” Cao Zhilan uttered.

“How about we change our plan a little?” he suddenly had a good idea.

“Hmm?” Chao Zhilan and Leng Nichang looked at him intently, waiting for his explanation.

“It’s like this…” he began explaining his idea.

He said they did not need to meet the major shareholder immediately. Cao Song would lose his reputation after several companies suddenly stopped their cooperation with him.

They only needed to spread the rumor to the major shareholders later. With this, they would not be satisfied with Cao Song’s performance.

Her father would have had no other choice but to remove Cao Song from his position if many of their major shareholders were not satisfied with his performance.

“So, you want me to get at least one business partner in a short amount of time?” actually, Cao Zhilan also thought his idea was good.

“Don’t worry. I will help you get a business partner later.” He responded, “When your brother do a bad performance, you make a good contribution to the company. With this, the major shareholders will choose you over your brother.”

“You will help me get a business partner?” she was shocked because it was not easy to get a business partner in a short amount of time.

“Don’t worry about it. Leave it to me.” He would use his other identity to cooperate with her because, with this, he would get the benefit too.

“Are you sure you want to help me get a business partner later?” Cao Zhilan still found it hard to believe because that meant he would give her a lot of money.

“Yes.” He nodded her head.

“I will make sure to reward you handsomely if our plan is successful.” She uttered.

At the same time, Cao Song was talking with Teng Qigang and Hualing. He was furious when she found out that they had failed to kill Xiao Tian.

“I didn’t expect him to be a martial arts expert!” Cao Song believed they had paid powerful martial artists, but the result was still the same.

They were killed by Xiao Tian!

He thought they would be able to kill Xiao Tian because they were stronger than Jun and Dehui, but he was wrong.

“Young master, I think it’s better to forget Xiao Tian for now because your position is in danger.” Teng Qigang uttered, “I’m afraid your elder sister will take advantage of the situation later.”

“You are right. I think I need to secure my position first.” Cao Song also believed his elder sister would take advantage of the situation because she always wanted to snatch his position.

Teng Qigang and Hualin nodded their heads.

“Let’s go back to the company.” Cao Song uttered.

The next day at 10:00 am, Xiao Tian and Leng Nichang went to Li hotel to meet the Luo and Di families.

The Luo and Di families were shocked when they saw her condition. She still could not walk, so she used a wheelchair.

She was a smart lady, so she used her injuries to get the sympathy of the Lou and Di families.

The Luo and Di families were furious at Cao Song. She was their friend, so they were enraged when he injured her.

They said they would help her destroy Cao Song’s reputation because he deserved it. For this reason, Xiao Tian and Leng Nichang left the Li hotel with smiles on their faces.

“Lady Leng, let’s have dinner now.” it was dinner time, and he was hungry, so he wanted to eat.

“Alright.” She was also starving, so she agreed instantly.

They stopped at a small restaurant. Like before, he pushed her after placing her in the wheelchair.

The owner of the restaurant was sad when she saw Leng Nichang’s condition.

She even told Xiao Tian to keep taking care of Leng Nichang because he should become a good boyfriend at a time like this.

The corner of his lips twitched.

As for Leng Nichang, she giggled happily. His expression was funny when the owner of the restaurant gave him a few pieces of advice.

He did not send her home after eating dinner; instead, he brought her to the Shanghai River.

Even though there were no stars, but the scenery was beautiful because the full moon illuminated the dark night, showing the charm of the Shanghai River.

Leng Nichang, who sat in the wheelchair, looked at the full moon.

‘Beautiful!’

She was pleased because she could enjoy the beautiful night.

“It’s beautiful, right?” he said as he pushed the wheelchair slowly.

“Yes.” She nodded her head. “It’s beautiful.”

The duo really enjoyed their time. The full moon and the gentle breeze made the night even more beautiful.

“Hehe.” The duo chuckled happily.

They spent time at Shanghai River for about two hours before he finally sent her home.

The following morning, Cao Zhilan went to Zu café to meet Liang Jun. She was startled when he said he wanted to meet her.

“Miss Cao, my boss wants to do business with you.” He went straight to the point.

“Can you tell me the reason?” she did not know Qing Feng, so she did not accept it immediately.

“My boss is Mr Xiao’s friend.” He responded, “Mr Xiao told my boss about your plan yesterday, and he agreed to help you.”

“Xiao Tian?” she suddenly remembered what Xiao Tian had said yesterday.

‘He is not lying to me.’

Xiao Tian said he would find a business partner for her, but she did not expect him to find it so quickly.

“Coincidently, we have a big project right now,” he told her about Xiao Tian’s current project.

He said his boss was working with several big families to make apartments for middle and upper-class families.

“How is it, miss Cao?” he inquired.

“I accepted it.” Of course, she would not refuse his offer because it was a good opportunity to make a lot of money.

After discussing for several minutes, Liang Jun returned to Eternal Group.

“I will call Xiao Tian now.” she took her smartphone out of her bag and called him.

“Hello, lady Cao?” Xiao Tian, who was in his office, uttered.

“Xiao Tian, can we meet now?” she asked.
