From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 369: Is Your Mouth So Sweet Because You’ve Eaten Candy?

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Is Your Mouth So Sweet Because You’ve Eaten Candy?

Nan Qiao, carrying soda and fried chicken, took the private elevator and arrived at the floor where Li Yehan’s office was located.

Exiting the elevator, Nan Qiao saw Secretary Zhao pacing back and forth outside Li Yehan’s office door.

Upon hearing the sound of the elevator opening, Secretary Zhao quickly turned his head and upon seeing Nan Qiao coming, his eyes lit up with excitement.

Secretary Zhao hurried to Nan Qiao and respectfully said, "Miss Nan Qiao, it’s really great that you have come here!"

"Secretary Zhao, what’s going on?"

"Li Ye has arrived, and so has Li Tianhong. They are pressuring Mr. Li, trying to force him to relinquish his authority," Secretary Zhao said anxiously.

Secretary Zhao was Li Yehan’s college classmate, and since college, Secretary Zhao has greatly admired Li Yehan. Li Yehan had exceptional abilities, and Zhao admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Later when Li Yehan asked him if he wanted to come to the company to work as his secretary, Secretary Zhao didn’t even think before agreeing.

Now seeing Li Yehan’s family situation so complicated, Secretary Zhao could only fret.

"Secretary Zhao, you don’t need to worry. Li Yehan is no ordinary person. How could he be bullied by others? You’re well aware of how much Li Tianhong and Li Ye have suffered under his hands, don’t worry."

Secretary Zhao explained, "Miss Nan Qiao, this time it’s different. I heard Li Tianhong scolding our Mr. Li, asking how he could throw manure on his stepmother. They’re in the meeting room, and they’ve called all the shareholders over as well."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Jiang Linyu pinned this matter on Li Yehan’s head?

Nan Qiao said to Secretary Zhao, "Without evidence, Li Tianhong wants to blame Li Yehan, but Li Yehan won’t agree. Secretary Zhao, go about your work, I’ll go see what’s happening."

"Alright." Secretary Zhao, troubled at heart, returned to his place.

...

Inside the meeting room.

Li Yehan sat in the main seat, and Li Tianhong, unwilling to show weakness, also sat beside him, taking up one-quarter of the space.

Li Ye sat next to Li Tianhong, both father and son staring at Li Yehan with predatory eyes.

Not only that, all the shareholders had arrived, each sitting obediently, none daring to speak.

Li Yehan sat in his chair, his back straight, his sharp gaze fixed on each of the shareholders.

"Did the company call you for a meeting?" Li Yehan’s speech was ice-cold, his chilling gaze making people shiver.

Li Tianhong began coldly, "I asked them to come. Li Yehan, the company isn’t just yours. I’ve told you before, you can’t manage it alone. I called the shareholders back to be witnesses, so you’d give half the company’s authority to Xiao Ye, and let Xiao Ye share the burden with you."

Li Yehan had long been tired of Li Tianhong’s voice, each time he heard it he felt like hitting someone.

Yet Li Tianhong would pop up annoyingly for no reason, making one feel disgusted.

Li Yehan stood up and sneered, "If it’s about the same issue in the future, no need to call me over for meetings, it wastes my time."

Li Yehan walked out with a brisk stride. The shareholders also panicked, one after another they followed him out, explaining themselves as they got close to him.

"Mr. Li, I thought it was you who called me for the meeting."

"Mr. Li, we had no other choice, your father threatened us on the phone. Our loyalty has always been with you."

Li Yehan heard their words, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

These fair-weather people were unnecessary to retain.

Li Yehan walked swiftly forward, his eyes softening when he saw Nan Qiao approaching.

Nan Qiao walked up, and Li Yehan took her hand and moved forward.

The shareholders stood in place, not daring to come closer, afraid to be reproached by Li Yehan.

...

Li Ye and Li Tianhong approached, their eyes sharp after hearing what the shareholders said.

Li Ye said in a low voice, "We cannot take away the authority from Li Yehan’s hands unless he is absent from the company. Only then will I have a chance."

Li Tianhong also understood what Li Ye meant by those words: to get rid of Li Yehan.

"Xiao Ye, don’t be hasty. You are still young, let Li Yehan continue to manage the company for a while, let him fight the battles for you, and you can reap the benefits effortlessly."

"Dad, I just want to help you lighten the burden of official matters. I’m not trying to make things difficult for you." Li Ye said reasonably.

Li Tianhong felt even worse inside, feeling that he had let Li Ye down.

"Xiao Ye, let’s go see your grandfather. Today, no matter what, I will let you manage the company."

Li Tianhong walked out with a grim expression, while Li Ye smiled slyly and quickly followed behind him.

...

Nan Qiao sat in Li Yehan’s office, listening to him explain the situation.

"Li Yehan, you didn’t take the blame for that matter, did you?"

Li Yehan smiled and said: "Even if I don’t, they will still pin the blame on me. Whether I acknowledge it or not, it’s not that important in the end."

Nan Qiao said awkwardly, "I caused the trouble, but you’re the one who got blamed. I’m really sorry."

Li Yehan rubbed her head: "What’s mine is yours. It’s my honor to take the fall for you."

"Li Yehan, you’re such a sweet talker, have you had sugar?" Nan Qiao laughed.

Li Yehan leaned in and kissed Nan Qiao on the lips.

Prising open her mouth, entwining.

Li Yehan released Nan Qiao’s lips and smiled mischievously: "Sweet or not?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Li Yehan, you’re really awful."

Nan Qiao pushed Li Yehan away, stood up, and walked to the desk to drink some fizzy drink.

Li Yehan chuckled softly: "Didn’t you ask if I ate sugar? I just wanted to confirm for you that I really haven’t had any."

"But you didn’t have to use your tongue..." Nan Qiao couldn’t finish her sentence, her tongue had gone numb.

Li Yehan leaned over and took a sip of the fizzy drink from Nan Qiao’s hand.

"Li Yehan, invite Li Tianhong to meet tomorrow. Do you think I can hypnotize him? If he’s hypnotized, could we get some information out of him?"

Nan Qiao set down the fizzy drink on the desk, still eager to know the truth as soon as possible.

"Do you really want to hypnotize Li Tianhong?"

Nan Qiao said, "It doesn’t have to be through hypnosis." Nan Qiao knew Li Yehan might not want to meet Li Tianhong.

"I’ll set it up for tomorrow, but I don’t know if he will agree to see me."

The relationship between father and son had reached such a stage that it was worse than that of strangers.

Li Yehan had long been accustomed to it. As long as Qiaoqiao needed it, he would approach Li Tianhong, at worst he would just be scolded a few times.

It was nothing serious or painful.

"Li Yehan, will it make things difficult for you? If it’s not feasible, forget it, I’ll ask Houzi for help. We can abduct Li Tianhong, hypnotize him, and then send him back unharmed."

Li Yehan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and snuggled up to Nan Qiao with a bright smile saying: "Qiaoqiao, you don’t need to worry about whether it would be difficult for me, I’m fine, I’ll do whatever you say. At most, it’s just a meeting with Li Tianhong, I’ll be okay."

With Li Yehan saying this, Nan Qiao no longer objected.

"Alright then, wait a bit before you call. He’s still angry, let him cool down."

Nan Qiao thought that Li Tianhong might be angered to death.

Every day being outplayed by Li Yehan, never getting the upper hand.

Nan Qiao was already impatient, eager to get some useful information out of Li Tianhong’s mouth—it would be thrilling!
