Chapter 664: 664, give you no time, see how you pry
In Q City’s most famous nightclub, Club Charm, Shi Yuhuan sat on the large leather sofa as lazily as an emperor.
Li Chengyun slowly walked to sit opposite him, holding a thick pile of documents in his hand before sliding them across the glass coffee table towards Shi Yuhuan.
He said, “This is what you wanted.”
The documents were Si Jianan’s personal investigation files. Shi Yuhuan picked them up and casually flipped through them.
“Spending such a high price to buy out such a worthless company, Chengyun, this is not your style.” After finishing, Shi Yuhuan tossed the documents back onto the coffee table.
Li Chengyun leaned lazily on the sofa, a smirk on his lips as he replied, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. The favor I owed the Li Family… I actually repaid it a long time ago. I just never told anyone about it.”
Switching the position of his crossed legs, Shi Yuhuan watched Li Chengyun with slightly narrowed eyes. “You’re saying the favor he wanted repaid was for you to buy out Si Jianan’s company at a high price.”
Li Chengyun nodded, “Yes. He insisted that I keep it a secret and let no one know, including the man himself, Si Jianan. I was puzzled about his relationship with Si Jianan, so I conducted this investigation, but I found no evidence of them having contact. They exist in two separate worlds and are unlikely to interact.”
His fingers silently tapped on his leg, like a graceful soundtrack to their conversation.
Shi Yuhuan contemplated for a moment, then said, “Since you bought his company, he’s now in your employ. I trust you can keep him busy, too busy to have spare time for coveting other people’s women.”
“My sister is pregnant now. She’s lonely and needs friends to cheer her up and ensure a healthy baby.” Li Chengyun raised an eyebrow, refusing with an excuse.
Shi Yuhuan coldly retorted, “If it’s difficult for you, then I wouldn’t mind taking matters into my own hands. I could give him some work to do, work that could implicate your company…”
He left his words hanging, but his tacit threat was clear and understood.
She needs friends, but definitely not a friend like Si Jianan, who had ulterior motives and held clandestine intentions toward her.
“Alright,” Li Chengyun waved his hand; he had never truly intended to refuse. He merely wanted to tease Shi Yuhuan a bit.
He picked up his wine glass and took a sip. “Hasn’t it been just once last month? Three times this month so far. Are you aiming for six times next month? If you’re so unwilling to let go, so unable to control yourself from visiting her, then why did you have them break up? If you’ve decided to briefly separate, don’t take your grandfather’s feelings lightly. Do you think he remains unaware when you come to Q City?”
Shi Yuhuan filled a glass with wine but didn’t drink. “He knows, and I want him to know. It’s only by mixing truth with lies that the real illusion can be maintained.”
Li Chengyun proposed, “In that case, why not bring Qiaoxi back home? Just like before, have people think your heart belongs to someone else.”
“These little games might deceive my second uncle, but my grandfather? You think such deception would work on him?” Shi Yuhuan asked, shaking his wine glass.
Li Chengyun asked, “What if Qinghuan finds out about your engagement to Han Qianqian?”
“That’s just an engagement, not a marriage. She should know it’s an act. I was also engaged to Han Qianqian before my birth, but did you see me marrying her?”
