Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 738 - 731: Seeking a Sense of Presence (Part 5)
Leng Liewei didn’t speak, but he definitely didn’t look good. He wanted to tell Qi Hui to leave, but seeing her like that, he couldn’t bear to speak.
Leng Yichen lowered his head and picked food for Bai Yiran. If it had been before, he might have mercilessly driven both Leng Liewei and Qi Hui away. His home didn’t need such a disruptive woman.
However, now Leng Liewei not only helped hold up the company while he was out looking for Bai Yiran, but his relationship with Bai Yiran was also just starting to improve.
Qi Hui was Leng Liewei’s woman, so Leng Yichen couldn’t say anything at this time.
Bai Yiran, as a daughter-in-law, was even less in a position to speak up.
So, Qi Hui shamelessly stayed.
The meal, because of Qi Hui’s presence, became dull and lifeless, losing its previous cheerful atmosphere.
However, Qi Hui didn’t feel like she had ruined anyone’s mood, as long as she was happy.
Leng Yichen continued picking food for Bai Yiran, instructing her to eat this and that. Qi Hui saw this and was overwhelmed with jealousy. It wasn’t that she had any fantasies about Leng Yichen, but as a woman, Bai Yiran received all of Leng Yichen’s love and care, while Leng Liewei wouldn’t even say a romantic word to her.
Qi Hui gripped her chopsticks tightly, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and picked a piece of meat. As soon as she put it in her mouth, a nauseating, greasy feeling surged up.
Ugh~
An extremely discordant sound suddenly erupted at the dinner table.
Everyone looked at Qi Hui, Leng Liewei asked, "What’s wrong with you? Do you have a stomach discomfort?"
Qi Hui smiled, "It’s nothing, this piece of meat is too fatty, I can’t quite eat it."
Hearing Qi Hui say this, no one paid too much attention.
But Sister Liu was somewhat displeased, thinking to herself, if you can’t eat it, why pick it? Isn’t this just being difficult!
Bai Yiran looked at Qi Hui inquisitively and met her gaze, "What’s wrong, Yiran? Is there a problem? Or are you upset that I wasted a piece of your family’s meat?"
Qi Hui’s words were irritating, and Bai Yiran didn’t feel like dealing with her, "It’s just a piece of meat, you’re certainly more important."
Qi Hui’s eyes darkened, actually comparing her to a piece of meat!
Leng Liewei felt embarrassed and started to look for a topic, glancing at his son, "Now that your wife is back, you can calmly return to Huamei International to take charge, right? These old bones of mine have gotten used to being relaxed these past few years, helping you for a few days is okay, but over time it’s a bit overwhelming."
Even though Leng Liewei was still titled the chairman of Huamei International, the real decision-maker holding the most shares was Leng Yichen. It was thanks to Leng Yichen that Huamei International had been improving over the years. As a father, he naturally wouldn’t compete with his son for these rights; as long as the main power remained within the Leng Family, what difference did it make whether it was the father or the son?
That’s how Leng Liewei thought, but not everyone felt the same.
That was Qi Hui!
Hearing Leng Liewei unexpectedly offer at the dinner table to hand the power back to Leng Yichen, she became somewhat flustered. Everyone knew how she got her position as global market director, and Leng Yichen’s disdain for her was also obvious.
If Leng Liewei pulled out at this time, her position would not be secure. Having tasted the flavor of money and power, how could Qi Hui be willing to let go so easily?
"Old Leng, it wasn’t easy for the young couple to reunite. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, why are you so eager to send Yichen back to the company?" Qi Hui put on a face as if she was thinking for the couple’s sake.
