Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love-Chapter 397: The Unmarried Don’t Have the Thick Skin of the Married

Xie Xiao drove away, and from the rearview mirror, he could still see Li Zhou standing there.

In fact, no matter how much he vented, it didn’t really help.

He still felt very uncomfortable.

He had always known that Luo Yanran was excellent and would definitely attract other suitors.

After all, she was young, beautiful, and talented.

Isn’t it perfectly normal for her to be liked?

Sometimes Xie Xiao did feel a bit sour, but he was still rational. His wife being liked by others meant that she deserved the attention of more people.

But Li Zhou was the first he had encountered who was shameless, disgusting, and had no moral bottom line.

After all, most people would apologize and give up after knowing she was married.

Someone like Li Zhou represented probably one in a few thousand chances.

And he had the audacity to approach her husband proudly.

Wasn’t that just pure insult?

It was truly sickening.

Xie Xiao let out a sigh of relief, comforted by the thought that Luo Yanran didn’t know about this disgusting incident.

He still headed to pick up Luo Yanran.

Then, he ran into Qi Yan, who had come to pick up his girlfriend.

The guy even let out a sarcastic "yo" and came over to shake hands with Xie Xiao. "President Xie, it’s really rare to see you."

Xie Xiao smiled and patted him on the back. "Have you had enough?"

"Shouldn’t I be the one saying that? You go to the company twice a month, do you think that’s appropriate? Your office is about to get moldy," Qi Yan rolled his eyes.

Even though Xie Xiao had sold some shares to him, making Qi Yan the company’s largest shareholder, Xie Xiao still had a significant holding, ranking him as the second-largest shareholder, right?

And yet, here he was visiting the company only twice a month, leaving after just sitting an entire morning.

Caught by the boss himself, Xie Xiao wasn’t embarrassed at all and smiled, "Isn’t the company doing fine with you there? Whether I go or not makes no difference."

"Please don’t, don’t you start PUA-ing me!" Qi Yan rolled his eyes again. But it was just a joke, as he knew Xie Xiao was busy.

Moreover, for the past year or so, Xie Xiao had indeed rarely been involved in the company’s management decisions, except in urgent cases where they couldn’t make decisions on their side and needed advice from him.

But now, the company was on the right track, and the team had matured,

So much so that Qi Yan himself wasn’t that busy anymore.

Isn’t it obvious that he could even pick up his girlfriend after work now?

The two then chatted about the recent developments.

Actually, there wasn’t much to talk about since they often saw each other.

It’s not like they hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

Before long, Luo Yanran and Lin Meiya came out together, laughing and talking.

Luo Yanran’s eyes still lit up when she saw Xie Xiao.

After so many years, Xie Xiao felt that he must still shine in his wife’s eyes, right?

Luo Yanran called out to Qi Yan, "President Qi, what a coincidence?"

Her voice carried a teasing tone, "Here to pick up your girlfriend?"

Qi Yan let out a sound of acknowledgment. "Sister-in-law, stop it; she’s blushing."

Lin Meiya was indeed blushing; the couple was in the throes of a passionate romance.

Still, they couldn’t help feeling embarrassed when teased.

But being lawyers, quick-witted as they were, Lin Meiya quipped back, "Lawyer Luo and President Xie are really affectionate, aren’t they?"

Luo Yanran took Xie Xiao’s arm and leaned in, "That’s for sure."

Indeed, the thick-skinned married couple could not be outdone by those in their honeymoon phase.

In the end, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran watched the couple get into their car and waved them off as they drove away.

Luo Yanran’s eyes were still smiling, "Meiya is really cute."

Xie Xiao kissed her on the face, "My wife is the cutest."

Luo Yanran, who had just looked so righteous, now blushed a bit, "We’re still outside."

"Married and legal, let’s go home."

Xie Xiao smiled as he spoke, taking her hand and leading her to the passenger side to open the door for her.

It wasn’t until she got in and closed the door that he went back to the other side to drive.

Xie Xiao thought that the issue with Li Zhou was finally over.

After all, Manager Lan brought people over to apologize the next day.

Luo Ming also heard that the boss at Hongyuan had said they would provide an explanation for the matter.

So, Xie Xiao set the final signing to be half a month later.

A half month should be enough time to receive an explanation, right?

He didn’t like empty promises, and since they were going to give an explanation, it couldn’t be just talk.

But Xie Xiao never expected Li Zhou would have the face to actually go find Luo Yanran.

Luo Yanran was initially completely unaware of the issues between Li Zhou and Xie Xiao.

There was no way for her to know since Xie Xiao did not want to let her know.

Li Zhou’s phone number had been blocked, so when she saw Li Zhou come to the law office to find her, she was a bit confused.

When Luo Yanran opened the door to the meeting room, the Li Zhou she saw was completely different from the man she had encountered before.

The whole person seemed somewhat disheveled and dejected.

Still, she smiled and greeted him, "Mr. Li."

After all, he had made an appointment, and each minute of consultation with a lawyer costs money.

The meeting room was under surveillance, but Luo Yanran only left the door ajar, after all, Li Zhou’s condition did not seem quite right.

She didn’t dare close the door completely.

Upon seeing Luo Yanran, Li Zhou stood up, "Miss Luo."

Hearing this address, Luo Yanran was stunned for a moment. Li Zhou usually called her ’Luo Lawyer’.

Why is he calling me ’Miss Luo’ now?

At this time, Li Zhou had no other choice.

He didn’t expect that Xie Xiao had been serious, and the company was indeed going to fire him.

Even going to his brother-in-law was no use.

His brother-in-law said he was reckless and brainless.

Usually, firing a manager isn’t an easy thing to do.

But getting rid of Li Zhou seemed to be an exception—simple and straightforward.

As a manager, he had made no contributions at all.

There was a long list of problems associated with him.

This time, even his sister’s intervention was ineffective.

Her husband stated that only if Xie Xiao changed his mind would it be possible.

If the contract with Qi could be successfully signed, then everything would be fine.

He could continue being Manager Li.

Otherwise, there was nothing to discuss.

Li Zhou did want to see Xie Xiao, but the latter refused to meet with him.

He had thought about waiting for him in the underground parking as before but got chased away by security guards.

Originally, Li Zhou was furious. When had he ever been humiliated like this?

But when the official notice of his dismissal arrived, he truly panicked.

That’s why he came looking for Luo Yanran.

At this moment, he stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Yanran to apologize, "I’m sorry, Miss Luo, for not recognizing Mount Tai before. I’ve offended you greatly and can only hope that you’ll forgive my minor transgressions, please let me go?"

Luo Yanran was stunned. What on earth was going on?

Li Zhou’s eyes were red as he looked up at Luo Yanran, "I also hope that President Xie could let me off."

Luo Yanran furrowed her brows, "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Xie Xiao?"

Li Zhou took a deep breath, "I admit I was at fault initially, but President Xie shouldn’t be using the collaboration to toy with me..."

Luo Yanran didn’t even sit down. She just stood there listening to Li Zhou explain the whole situation.

Li Zhou was not a fool; he blurred out the details that were against him, roughly implying that Xie Xiao was seeking revenge in the collaboration because he knew that Li had pursued Luo Yanran before...
