Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Xiao Chuchu, Old Li was drunk and kept calling your name
Li Lingyang was busy negotiating a project with Europe when he saw the text message from Mo Baiyou, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.
His long fingers rubbed the screen, and he clicked on the link…
The next second, his eyes swept up in a fury, and he pressed the intercom on the desk.
“Special Assistant Xu, come to my office!”
Special Assistant Xu pushed the door open and saw President Li’s face extremely gloomy. His heart sank, and he carefully asked, “President Li, the gossip heat about you and Lady Ning has almost died down. Are you stressed about the cooperation with Europe?”
“Slap!” Li Lingyang tossed the phone towards him, swept him a cold glance, and said, “Is this your way of diverting attention? Do you fucking think I don’t have enough green hats on my head?”
Special Assistant Xu, horrified, snatched up the phone. Thankfully, the pricey phone wasn’t broken, and on the screen was a story about Mo Baiyou spending a fortune on an hour-long fireworks display for Ning Yichu!
Special Assistant Xu broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly dumbfounded, and hurriedly explained, “This… President Li, I… I didn’t know those fireworks were set off by Mr. Mo for Lady Ning, or else I wouldn’t have dared to buy heat for this news! I’ll have someone pull it from the trending searches right away…”
He turned and had a fierce word with the manager of the public relations department, almost deadly!
“Mo Baiyou!” Li Lingyang coldly uttered the three words, knowing Special Assistant Xu had no intention of harm, slowly calmed his emotions, and said coldly, “Is Beiji’s new product launching soon?”
“Yes, they’ve also reached a strategic cooperation with the Ji Family, sharing counters, and are now entering the final promotional phase…”
The falcon-like gleam in Li Lingyang’s eyes flickered peculiarly as he spoke indifferently, “If Mo Baiyou wants to successfully launch the new product and explode the market, that depends on whether I agree or not. Go find the suppliers of Beiji, tell them, I’m inviting them to dinner this weekend.”
“Yes.” Special Assistant Xu dared not say anything else and silently left the office to make contacts.
He himself had unintentionally done wrong, alas.
As the office door closed, the surrounding silence was deafening,
Li Lingyang once again clicked on the news link, looking at the tiny corner of the photo where Mo Baiyou and Ning Yichu were gazing into each other’s eyes.
It was just like those Korean drama scenes of life-and-death reliance between the male and female leads that he watched with Granny Li…
The phone was almost crushed in his grip, veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Beep beep.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
Seeing it was Mu Bailang, Li Lingyang, feeling irritable, answered the call.
Unsurprisingly, Mu Bailang’s teasing voice came through, “I heard about a super dramatic scandal today. The ex-wife’s fans attacking the ex-husband isn’t enough, so the ex-husband turns around and sends his ex-wife and her new lover trending, haha…”
“Mu Bailang, are you looking to die?” Li Lingyang’s face darkened, and if Mu Bailang were there, they might have even come to blows.
Mu Bailang coughed lightly, “I guess this must be a misunderstanding…?”
“Still bringing it up?”
“OK, I’ll stop talking. Brother, I know you’re feeling down. I’ve set up a table at Jiangnan Club, coming or not?”
Twenty minutes later.
Li Lingyang appeared in the luxurious private room of Jiangnan Club.
The handsome man, like a proud eagle, sat silently on the leather sofa, pouring one drink after another into his mouth.
“I say, you’ve been here so long, just drinking sullenly alone, what’s the point?” Mu Bailang moved closer, his long fingers patting his shoulder.
Li Lingyang glanced at him, remained silent, and casually picked up a cigarette to light.
Thin smoke wafted from his mouth…
Mu Bailang chuckled. “Don’t you think you’re being contradictory now?”
Li Lingyang gave him a cold glance and slowly lifted his handsome face. “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Mu Bailang raised an eyebrow, his peachy eyes narrowing as he smiled. “Look, you’ve allowed Chen Bao and Ningning to be in contact, which is tacit approval of a future in-laws relationship with Ning Yichu. Yet, ironically, you get upset about her relations with Mo Baiyou. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?”
Li Lingyang paused, then murmured softly after a long while, “You think… it’s not just possessiveness, but that I still can’t let her go.”
“I can only help you analyze the situation; the specifics are for you to judge. What if you and Ning Yichu end up together, and my godson and Ningning get driven apart? Wouldn’t that make me the culprit?” His smile seemed sarcastic, but his words were quite clear.
If he weren’t emotionally attached to Ning Yichu, he wouldn’t be this anxious.
Li Lingyang knew he was inexplicably smitten with Ning Yichu, especially in bed.
Just the sight of her graceful figure sent his thoughts wandering, and he’d madden with jealousy when he found out she was with Mo Baiyou. But whenever he thought of the complex and chaotic nature of their relationship with Shen Jiangqing and four children, he suppressed those thoughts…
What could he do? Should he really chase after her, no matter the cost?
…
Tomorrow is the weekend. Ning Yichu contacted the private hospital’s assistant right after work to confirm the timing of the health examination.
She initially wanted to go to a public hospital, but considering her currently high profile, she could be targeted by some.
She definitely didn’t want to trend on social media again!
At this moment, Yuke also sent her a long screenshot; it contained an essay crafted by a ghostwriter along with a line or two of recordings about a brutal stepmother in a wealthy family poisoning her fiancé’s illegitimate son for inheritance – a dramatic narrative jumped out from the paper.
“It’s written quite well, just publish it like that. I’ll transfer the funds for the influencers and public relations once I collect the prize money and auction fees from the championship, in a week at most.”

“What are we talking money for, eh? But President Li is really generous, sixty million… After deducting fees and costs, you should receive over fifty million, right?”
Ning Yichu frowned. “What are you thinking? The moment that fifty million hits my account, I’ll transfer it right back to him.”
Yuke curled her beautiful red lips, her tone reluctant, “Why not keep it? That’s a lot of money, and it would be a significant expense for Ningning’s future education, just consider it an education fund from him.”
“Accepting gifts makes one weak; what if one day we have a disagreement over Chen Bao and Ningning, and he brings up this huge sum? I wouldn’t be able to stand tall and justified then.”
“That makes sense, his family situation is so complex, Chen Bao will definitely need you for some occasions in the future…”
“I won’t talk any further; I have another call coming in,” Ning Yichu said as she saw another number pop up on her phone screen.
“Okay.” Yuke hung up briskly.
Ning Yichu promptly answered the incoming call, and was greeted by the sultry voice of Mu Bailang, “Xiao Chuchu, good evening. I saw your romantic trending topic with Beiji Mo, it lasted a whole hour, nearly caused a fire department alert, didn’t it?”
Ning Yichu raised an eyebrow. “Last year, Young Master Mu took a bevy of models out to sea in international waters and got so wild in the middle of night that he kicked two beauties overboard; the coast guard rescuing them dominated the headlines the next day. Isn’t that more sensational than me?”
“I’m touched that you’ve been secretly keeping tabs on me.”
“After all, Ningning is under your management; naturally, I need to keep an eye on what her big boss is up to.”
Mu Bailang chuckled then changed his tone, glancing at the man sitting on the couch opposite him, “Old Li drank too much tonight in the nightlife of Jiangnan, and he’s been calling out your name. Why don’t you come over and see him?”
