Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 443

Xia Yu looked at the watch, and it was already past eleven o’clock. She wanted to tell Li Wen that she was leaving, but judging from his current state, she couldn’t even get close to him. She thought about it and decided to wait. She couldn’t just leave without saying a word. That would be too rude.

Finally, Li Wen asked for mercy from those girls, but the girls did not let him go easily. They asked him to sing a song.

There was no score, so Li Wen sang a song without the accompaniment. It was very nice. She did not expect him to sing so well. It was no wonder that the girls would let him sing.

After he finished his song, everyone applauded. Xia Yu found a chance to tell Li Wen that she was going home first because she had to go to work tomorrow.

“Okay, you wait for me. I will send you back.” Perhaps since Xia Yu’s face showed a sense of fatigue, Li Wen immediately agreed.

“No need. I will go back on my own.” Xia Yu waved her hand. Today he was the protagonist. If he left, how could everyone enjoy themselves?

“It’s okay. It’s very late now, and the party can finish now. I will make some arrangements, and you can wait for me outside.” Li Wen did not even think about it and walked straight to his friends.

Xia Yu went out of the bar and waited for him outside. After a while, he and others came out together. Two girls were drunk and were helped by the boys. A few cars came over one after another. They let the drunk people leave first, and Li Wen exhorted a few boys to send the girls home.

Because Li Wen also drank a lot of wine, he couldn’t drive. So, he could only take a taxi to leave.

There was still some cream on his face, so Xia Yu took out a few sheets of tissues from her purse and handed over them to him to wipe the cream off.

“Is it clean?” He rubbed his face a few times and asked Xia Yu.

“There are still some on your chin and ears, and there’s also a little on the hair.” Xia Yu pointed to the places with her hand for him. After he wiped his chin and ears, he couldn’t find the accurate location on his hair. Xia Yu took over the paper towel in his hand and helped him wipe the cream. He slightly lowered his head obediently.

The cream on the hair was hard to get rid of, and it took a long while to clean it up, but he would need to wash his hair definitely when he went back.

“Thank you, Xia Yu.” Li Wen spoke to Xia Yu with rare seriousness, and his face showed a suspicious blush. It looked like he was shy.

She had known him for so long, and it was quite interesting to see him blush for the first time. After returning to the community, Xia Yu did not let him continue to see her off. She let him go back to rest early.

“Xia Yu, can I come to your place to eat tomorrow?” He looked at Xia Yu with anticipation.

“OK. What do you want to eat?” Xia Yu did not refuse him. Although she had told Shen Yan earlier on the phone that she would try to reduce her association with Li Wen, she really couldn’t refuse his request at this moment. If it was at ordinary times, she probably would find a reason to refuse, but today was his birthday.

Li Wen was very happy, and a bright light flashed through his eyes. “I can eat anything. I love everything cooked by you.”

Seeing him being so happy, Xia Yu’s heart sank again. In fact, she really wanted to be friends with him, but she also cared about Shen Yan’s feelings. Therefore, the two people would definitely become more and more alienated in the future, and they wouldn’t be friends.

Li Wen quickly left, but he did not know that two people in a car next to the community had been staring at him all the time.

“Lanlan, you have seen it. Whether it’s Shen Yan or Young Master Li, their looks, talents, and educational backgrounds are so much better than those of Chen Wenxuan. You may say that Xia Yu doesn’t like this kind of silver-spoon kid, but what about Zhou Yan? He’s not bad, right? How could it be possible that she still likes that kind of person like Chen Wenxuan? You should wake up.” In the car, President Kang was doing his best to convince Kang Lan.

He felt helpless regarding her daughter’s stubbornness. He was really so helpless that he wanted to kill someone. When her daughter stole the household register of her family and married Chen Wenxuan in a short time, her mother was already angry to the point of being admitted to a hospital.

At that time, President Kang tried to alleviate his wife’s bad mood at the side and said that his daughter was being playful, and that Chen Wenxuan would be forgotten after a while. Only God knew that on the third day after receiving their marriage certificate, Kang Lan proposed holding a wedding ceremony with Chen Wenxuan.

At that time, Chen Wenxuan snatched a large sum of money from Bao Na, so he had some money at hand. He used this money to turn himself into a young talent who started from scratch.

President Kang and his wife had only one daughter, and she had always got what she wanted. It was not that he never doubted the identity of Chen Wenxuan, but he did offer a large sum of betrothal gifts. He also inquired about it around and knew that Chen Wenxuan’s home was in the countryside and his family could not raise the money. Plus, his daughter was acting desperately on the side.

He thought that he did not expect Chen Wenyuan to be the icing on the cake for Kang Family anyway. As long as his daughter liked him, Kang Family would guarantee their quality of life after they were married. So, he agreed.

President Kang thought that he was just a little poor at most and didn’t expect his character to be so bad. First of all, it was the Xia family. He was able to fool the old fox, President Xia. Then he aimed at the Bao Family and harmed the Bao Family so badly as a result.

Nowadays, her daughter was also lawsuit ridden because of him. This time, President Kang would not let his daughter follow someone like Chen Wenxuan by any means.

Kang Lan actually knew what kind of person Chen Wenxuan was when Bao Na appeared, but she chose to forgive Chen Wenxuan as she didn’t want her child to be fatherless.

It would have been fine if she had gotten Chen Wenxuan out of the prison while hiding the truth from her father. Only God knew that so many things happened later. Now the family of the deceased was making a scene so badly.

They also hired a lawyer. They might have consulted a lawyer and known that Bao Na killed someone out of self-defense and could be acquitted. Even if she was sentenced, the sentence would be very light. So, they no longer troubled Bao Family and turned to them.

Kang Lan also had an arson case in J city. If the two crimes were combined, she would be sentenced for many years. For the daughter, President Kang would agree on all conditions the other party raised.

He was very generous. As the person of the other party was deceased anyway, their family chose the plan of paying money and reducing the sentence. If it was successful, Kang Lan’s sentence could be very light.

After all, she asked someone just to scare Bao Na without wanting to kill her. The scene at the time, which was out of control, was not something she wanted. But even if the case was solved here, there was still an arson case after their return.

The owner of the restaurant had said that even if he was bankrupt, he would pursue this lawsuit to bring fair back. His family was well-off, but it was not easy to settle with money. Therefore, it was very difficult for President Kang to save his daughter.

But in any case, he couldn’t let his daughter be with that evil creature, Chen Wenxuan. So, he had been persuading his daughter these days.

In the past two days, he had been taking his daughter to follow Xia Yu, just wanting to let her daughter see how happy and confident Xia Yu was.

Kang Lan surely envied Xia Yu. She had a boyfriend who loved her very much and had such a great suitor. Other than these, she had a group of very good friends.

These were the things that Kang Lan dreamed about but couldn’t get. It would be false to claim that she didn’t regret getting married to Chen Wenxuan. But what could she do now? How could she let her child have no father?

“Dad, everything else is fine. What about the child?” Her voice was helpless.

“I have talked to your mother about it. It is better to have an abortion and divorce Chen Wenxuan. After all, you are still so young. Are you going to be tied up by this man for the rest of your life?” President Kang had thought about this question already. Since he decided to let her daughter leave Chen Wenxuan, it must be completely thorough. He did not want Chen Wenxuan to bother his daughter in the name of the child in the future.

“Dad, this is my child. I don’t want to do that!” When she heard that her father wanted her to have an abortion, Kang Lan’s facial expression changed, and she disagreed no matter what her father said.

Of course, President Kang had this plan. But at this crucial moment, he did not need to force his daughter too tightly. Seeing that her daughter was anxious, he comforted and said on the side, “Listen to you! I just said that this was an option. If you don’t want to do that, we have other options. Don’t be angry anyway, okay?”

Her father did not force her, and Kang Lan was a little relieved. She lowered her head and kept silent for a while. “What about Chen Wenxuan? Are you going to kick him out of the Kang Family?”

“This’s for sure, Lanlan. I can do whatever you want for anything else, but divorce is a must. There’s no room for discussion.” On this issue, President Kang’s attitude was very determined. If his daughter hadn’t met Chen Wenxuan, how could she have been in the current state?

“But after all, we are married. Dad, can you get him out?” Even now Chen Wenxuan had no good time in the prison. If they were really divorced, how could Bao Family spare him? Kang Lan eagerly asked his father, “Can you do it for the sake of your grandchild?”

When he heard the grandchild, President Kang’s heart was hit with a wave of irritation. Even her daughter could use her child to plead for Chen Wenxuan. Wouldn’t that scum leverage on that child? No, this child could not be kept definitely.

Thinking about this, President Kang made up his mind in an instant. He looked at his daughter and sighed. “You also know that this is not in J city, and what dad can do is limited. I’ll give it a try.”

President Kang was afraid that his daughter would argue with him, so he left some room for flexibility. He needed to first stabilize his daughter before slowly persuading her. Anyway, he would not help Chen Wenxuan by any means.

Kang Lan was relatively naive. She thought that her father agreed, so she held his arm and said, “Thank you, Dad! I want to go to see Wenxuan now, okay?”

“Look at you! It’s so late now. Let’s go there tomorrow.” President Kang shook his head. He saw that his daughter’s face was full of disappointment and then said, “The police also need to rest. Everyone is off work now. Where can I find someone to help you?”

Her father’s words made sense, and Kang Lan did not insist anymore. She returned to the hotel where they lived with his father, but when they arrived at the hotel entrance, the hotel manager came over. He looked quite awkward and said to President Kang, “Mr. Kang, I am really sorry, but you’d better transfer to another hotel. Look at our lobby. It’s crowded and in a mess all the time. How can we do business?”

The manager pointed to the family members of the deceased in the lobby. There were about a hundred people. Some were old people, and some were children. Hotels were unlike other places. If they took some aggressive actions, the impacts wouldn’t be good.

But the impacts of having them here would be even worse. A lot of guests came over and saw this situation. They chose to turn around and left. During these two days when Kang Family had been living here, they had really lost a lot of money.

“Manager, what do you mean?” Kang Lan saw that the manager was driving them away. Her insolent temper came out again. They had paid for it already. How could they drive them away?

“I mean what I said. Miss Kang, it’s a hotel here. Hundreds of employees have to make a living. Sorry.” The complaints of the guests and the employees as well as the big boss’s reprimand had made the manager so agitated. So, the Kang Family could not stay here by any means.

“Manager, you see. It’s very late. My daughter is pregnant, and it is not suitable for her to run around. Manager, how about this? We stay here tonight and will leave early tomorrow morning. We promise not to trouble you anymore.” President Kang put on a smiling face in order to please the manager and tried to come up with a compromise.

Dad actually put on an apologetic smile in order to please a small potato? Kang Lan did not allow him to do this. So, she stopped her father and argued with the manager. “What do you mean? This is a hotel here. You have taken our money and should serve us well. Now we are being harassed by others here, but we don’t blame you. Instead, you are kicking us out. Believe it or not, we will sue you.”

“We do. Of course, we believe you. If you need to sue us, just sue us. Anyway, we can’t keep you here anymore.” The manager gave a wink to the staff on the side, and they quickly pushed President Kang’s luggage over.
