“Li Cheng, what’s the situation with Bess?” Li An’an saw Li Cheng walking past the pantry and hurriedly called out to him.
Li Cheng turned around and smiled. “She made a mistake, so she was fired.”
Li An’an didn’t believe him. “Even if so, there’s no need to make a statement in the wee hours of the morning.”
“She brought huge losses to the company, so the CEO asked me to make a statement early in the morning.” Li Cheng explained that he was not present when the CEO went to deal with Bess and Gu Na yesterday. However, upon asking the bodyguard, the latter told him what had happened.
Bess had reaped what she sowed. Previously, when she was targeting Li An’an in the office, he had tried to dissuade her. However, she insisted on acting recklessly. She wanted to replace Li An’an and planned to disfigure Madam. This was unforgivable. He found it hard to sympathize with her given the current situation.
Li An’an still couldn’t believe it. “How much damage did she cause to the company?”
“I’m sorry, this is confidential information. It’s not convenient to reveal it, or have anyone use it to their advantage. It’s my duty!” Li Cheng’s mouth was completely sealed where official matters were concerned. She couldn’t get anything out of him.
“Okay, I won’t ask further.”
Li Cheng continued walking and suddenly spun around. “The CEO is in a bad mood today. You may want to spend more time with him when you can. He treats you really well.”
Li An’an paused in the middle of drinking. Her brain was working fast, and she roughly understood what Li Cheng meant.
As expected, Bess’ matter had something to do with her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said this.
After drinking, she went to look for Chu Yichen. He was not in the office, but Long Ting was. She laughed rudely when she saw the bruise on his right eye.
“Did you go peeking into the ladies’ room to have been beaten up like this?”
Long Ting was so angry that he gritted his teeth. “Even you say that. Isn’t this all because…
Li An’an quickly asked, “Because of what?”
Given that lips were sealed over at Chu Yichen’s side, perhaps Long Ting, with his big mouth, could tell the inside story.
“Nothing. Why should I tell you?” Long Ting bit his tongue in time. He had already been beaten up once and didn’t want to be subject to it again.
Li An’an said unhurriedly, “I’m cooking for Chu Yichen’s mother this afternoon and was thinking of preparing an extra portion. Since you’ve said this, forget it.”
Long Ting’s eyes lit up and he gulped, his mind weighing up between being beaten and eating. In the end, he gritted his teeth and told Li An’an. In any case, being beaten by her wouldn’t hurt much.
“It’s no big deal. I was the one who set up the meeting between you and my aunt.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li An’an rushed at him and gave him a kick. “Are you crazy, doing something like that to me? You can dream about eating my cooking!”
She had been wondering why Chu Yichen’s mother had come looking for her out of the blue, especially at a time when Chu Yichen wasn’t around. So it boiled down to this troublemaker.
Long Ting was beaten into a corner and covered his face with his hand. “I’m warning you, if you attack me again, I’ll fight back.”
Li An’an stomped on his leather shoes.
Long Ting grimaced in pain. “Woman, will you listen to what I have to say? I’ve not finished and you’re beating me up. Where did you get your temper from?
All of you have such bad tempers.”
Li An’an retracted her leg and looked suspiciously at the bruise on his right eye.
“Did Chu Yichen beat you up?” she asked.
Long Ting straightened out his suit and glared at her. “Who else would have done it? He beat me up right there and then in the private room.”
“Serves you right!”
“Li An’an, you really don’t know what’s good for you. I arranged for my auntie to meet you, not to make things difficult for you, but so that she realizes how good you are. The two of you got along rather well, and you’re even cooking lunch for her today. This is all thanks to me!”
“Says who she didn’t make things difficult for me? My legs almost broke from shopping with her yesterday!” Long Ting was speechless..
