The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 864 - 879: Why Are You Indifferent to Me?

Now everyone in the company knows that Zhong Li is the chairman’s daughter and will soon replace Qi Shangyu as the president, so they all treat her with great respect.

Coming out of the elevator, Zhong Li headed straight to the president’s office. When she pushed open the door and walked in, Qi Shangyu was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking with one hand in his pocket.

Hearing the footsteps, Qi Shangyu turned around, "You’re here."

Zhong Li’s eyes, cool as water, glanced at him. She walked to the sofa in high heels and sat down, "Let’s hand over the work."

"Zhong Li, the text from that day wasn’t sent by me. It was Xia Mo who secretly took my phone."

Qi Shangyu stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, unable to stand Zhong Li’s cold attitude toward him.

"Even if you didn’t send the text, Nancy and I almost died at your hands, that much is true."

"I had no idea my mom would harm you. How could I bear to hurt you?"

Zhong Li raised her head to look at Qi Shangyu, her faint smile wrapped in an icy chill, "So you knew about the kidnapping of Nancy."

Qi Shangyu didn’t deny it. He was indeed aware of it.

"Alright, President Qi, let’s quickly hand over the work."

Qi Shangyu raised his hand and pinched his brow, "Zhong Li, I know you don’t like me, but please don’t hate me."

Now Qi Shangyu no longer dared to hope that Zhong Li could be with him, only wishing that she wouldn’t treat him with such indifference.

Zhong Li stood up from the sofa, walked to Qi Shangyu’s side in her high heels, "I don’t just dislike you, I hate you more. When I knew Nancy was in danger, I wanted to kill you and Li Jiaxue."

Every word from Zhong Li was like a sharp knife, piercing Qi Shangyu painfully.

"Why is Gu Nanxi the only one you care about? I like you so much, why are you indifferent to me?"

Qi Shangyu was somewhat emotional, his dark eyes fixated on Zhong Li.

Zhong Li’s lips, coated in lipstick, curled nonchalantly, "Just because you like me, do I have to respond? Alright, let’s not talk about things unrelated to work. Let’s quickly hand over the work, President Qi."

"If Gu Nanxi hadn’t been kidnapped, would you still be so indifferent to me?"

"Yes." Zhong Li answered crisply, "If you hadn’t done things to harm us, I would feel guilty about taking over the company because it’s always been you managing it, but now I just feel it’s the rightful return since you’re not worthy."

To be honest, Qi Shangyu already regretted what he had done. Now Zhong Li treated him like an enemy.

"I’m sorry, I apologize for what happened before. After the work handover, I’ll go abroad."

Qi Shangyu looked at Zhong Li seriously, and this time he was really stepping down.

"Where you go has nothing to do with me." Zhong Li walked to the desk in her high heels, pulled out a chair, and sat down, signaling him to start.

Spending all morning, Qi Shangyu clearly explained all the work to Zhong Li. He glanced at his watch on his wrist, "It’s already noon, let’s have lunch together."

"No need, I just ordered takeout." Zhong Li continued to look down at the files in her hand, pausing before speaking again, "Remember to attend the board meeting this afternoon on time."
