Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C186
Chapter 186 – Family Dinner (2)
The family just sat together like that, and Sheng Jue and Chen Shu did not talk much. The old man had already informed Chen Shu that he was not allowed to speak up for him at the dining table. Although Chen Shu and Sheng Jue admired Xiang Chen Xi, they would not disobey him.
Li Li gave Xiang Chen Xi a piece of broccoli and smiled: “Chen Xi, don’t you like to eat this the most?”
Xiang Chen Xi took the piece of broccoli out of the bowl and put it aside, then said coldly: “I don’t like to eat it anymore.” After saying that, he gave Tao Chu Liang more food, telling her in a low voice that she should eat more.
But in truth, everyone had no appetite. Tao Chu Liang looked at the dishes in front of his, but could not bring himself to eat. Who is this Li Li? What was his relationship with Chen Xi? Why did Xiang Shi Yun say that Chen Xi was going to marry her? What was going on? She was confused.
“Miss Tao, since Chen Xi has brought you here, let me introduce you. This is Li Li, his grandfather Li Tianchen and I are good friends. Her grandfather had gone to the UK a long time ago, and their whole family had settled down there, so she was of mixed blood with both Chinese and English. Now, Li Li is the CEO of the Leap Group. ” Xiang Shi Yun said to Tao Chu Liang while pointing at him.
Tao Chu Liang almost did not believe his ears. Leap Group? This was a group that ranked in the top 50 in the entire world. Even though the Taur Group was already one of the top 100 enterprises in the entire country, it was only ranked at the bottom 100 in the entire world. Leap Group was a multinational enterprise, and its financial resources were abundant. If the woman in front of him was really the CEO of the Leap Group, then she was truly extraordinary.
Li Li stretched out her hand to Tao Chu Liang and she smiled, then said to Tao Chu Liang: “Miss Tao, hello! I have heard of your Taur Group. At that time, you could also be considered a subgroup of the Xiang Group. But I heard that the reason your group can become so good is because of Chen Xi. It seems like you do not care much about managing your company, right? ”
When Tao Chu Liang heard this, he felt that these words were a bit ear-piercing.
“Li Li, the fact that the Taur Group is getting better and better has nothing to do with me. It’s just that Chu Liang has been missing for three years, I’m just helping her with it. In terms of management ability, Chu Liang is not worse than you! ” Xiang Chen Xi immediately spoke up for Tao Chu Liang.
Tao Chu Liang couldn’t help but be a little worried. It was really thanks to Chen Xi that the Taur Group had such a result today. But Chen Xi spoke up for her without a care in the world, so she felt that he shouldn’t speak softly either.
Therefore, Tao Chu Liang smiled and said: “Miss Li Li, I know that Leap Group is one of the top enterprises in this world, but I have the confidence that under the joint management of Chen Xi and I, the company will not be worse than Leap Group one day.” With that, she turned to look at Xiang Chen Xi, who gave her an encouraging look.
“What big words you have there!” At this time, the old man spoke up, “Miss Tao, do you know that when Li Li was eighteen years old, she had already made an advertising plan that caused a sensation throughout the world? She had taken over the Leap Group at the age of twenty, and had even increased the annual profit of the guild by five times! As for you, I heard that you were still nothing when you were twenty, right? ”
Tao Chu Liang’s heart was suddenly stung. Of coursehee wouldn’t forget that when he was twenty, she was still just a mischievous daughter of a rich family. He had never once asked about matters of the group, and his parents were precisely killed by Tao Jian Xin that year!
“Grandfather!” “Don’t go too far!” Xiang Chen Xi naturally remembered that it was on that year that he became Tao Chu Liang’s guardian.
Although Xiang Shi Yun’s words were very hurtful, Tao Chu Liang felt that she had never admitted defeat to anyone before. In her previous life, she was too naive, so she decided to bury everything in the corporation and personally hand the corporation over to her enemy. However, having lived two lives, many things had already been seen through, and she had become much stronger.
Tao Chu Liang looked at Xiang Shi Yun, her voice did not have the slightest of movements, and said indifferently: “Grandfather, regardless of whether you’re willing or not, I should still call you grandfather. It doesn’t matter if you agree or not, Chen Xi and I will still get married! You don’t have to say these words to provoke me, I do not care who this Miss Li Li is. I have already died once, and I don’t want to lose him once more. Right now, I just want to be properly together with Chen Xi. ”
Xiang Chen Xi looked at her deeply and held her hand tightly. The most astonished and moved person was none other than him! Xiang Chen Xi understood Tao Chu Liang too well, he knew that the fact that she could say such words, showed just how much courage he mustered!
“Don’t even think about it! If you want to marry Chen Xi, that is, unless I die! ” Xiang Shi Yun flew into a rage, so angry that he directly stood up from his seat.
Xiang Chen Shu quickly ran over to Xiang Shi Yun’s side, patted his chest and said: “Grandfather, don’t be angry yet, didn’t you say that you would give Chu Liang and Chen Xi a chance?”
“What chance? It was absolutely impossible for the two of them! My Xiang Group, we will not have anything to do with her! ” Xiang Shi Yun said angrily.
“Grandfather, you should have long since known that the relationship between Chu Liang and I was not one that could be broken by just a few words from you. We’ve missed each other for three years and we won’t miss each other again. ” Xiang Chen Xi said as he looked at Xiang Shi Yun.
“What about me? What about our feelings for each other after so many years? Chen Xi, I came back for you! ” Li Li looked at Xiang Chen Xi. He was truly a little injured, because she could already tell that Xiang Chen Xi had really fallen in love with this woman called Tao Chu Liang.
Tao Chu Liang’s heart trembled. So many years of love? What did that mean?
Xiang Chen Xi protected Tao Chu Liang behind him, looked at Li Li and said: “Li Li, you and I are not what you think we are, I have always treated you as my family.”
Seeing that, Xiang Shi Yun immediately replied: That’s right, Li Li is our family, then you should know, only Li Li can be our grandson!
“Grandfather, enough! I am not your tool, I am a man of thought and feeling! Don’t forget how Daddy died! You’ve already forced me to my death, do you still want to force me to my death? ” Xiang Chen Xi’s eyes turned red.
Hearing his words, Xiang Shi Yun and Xiang Chen Shu’s bodies trembled.
“Chen Xi, you shouldn’t have said that to Grandfather.” Xiang Chen Shu could not take it anymore.
“Sis, if Sheng Jue was just an ordinary person, do you think Grandfather would agree to let you marry him?” Xiang Chen Xi exposed it coldly. For a moment, Chen Shu and Sheng Jue were a little awkward as well. Amongst everyone present, Tao Chu Liang was of the lowest birth, so Xiang Shi Yun did not really like a business like the Taur Group.
Sheng Jue had actually already heard it from Chen Shu before, but he still felt embarrassed to have Xiang Chen Xi bring it up in front of him.
“Grandfather, to you, there are thousands of ways to strengthen and expand our group. But to me, my happiness is something that only Chu Liang can give me!” Xiang Chen Xi said calmly and left the dining table with Tao Chu Liang, leaving Xiang Shi Yun’s villa. He didn’t want to stay here for even a second longer.
When Xiang Shi Yun returned to her seat at the top of the mountain, no one was in the mood to eat anymore. Xiang Shi Yun originally thought that if Tao Chu Liang suddenly saw Li Li, Tao Chu Liang would be so angry that she would run away, but she never thought that both she and Xiang Chen Xi were so unyielding.
“Li Li, don’t worry, Chen Xi this brat has just been possessed for a moment. In my heart, you have long been my grandson’s wife!” Xiang Shi Yun saw that Li Li’s expression was not good, and wanted to say a few words to listen to him.
However, Li Li looked in the direction that Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang had left and said calmly: “Grandfather, I will take care of this matter myself. I don’t think I’m that much worse off than that Tao Chu Liang, I will use my own methods to win Chen Xi back.”
Hearing that, Xiang Shi Yun’s face revealed a smile, and said: “Of course you’re stronger than that Tao Chu Liang! Rest assured, your grandfather will definitely be on your side! ”
“Then I’ll leave first, grandfather.” Li Li’s expression could not be seen, he turned and left. Sitting in his own sportscar, Li Li’s eyes flashed with stubbornness. Since he was young, as long as it was something he wanted, there was nothing he could not get himself! And Xiang Chen Xi, could only belong to him!
Xiang Chen Xi immediately got the driver to drive back to the villa.
Sitting on the sofa, Xiang Chen Xi felt completely exhausted, but he was still very anxious. There were some things, if he didn’t explain it clearly, Chu Liang would definitely misunderstand.
“Chu Liang…” Xiang Chen Xi took Tao Chu Liang’s hand.
“You don’t have to say it, I believe in you!” However, Tao Chu Liang directly interrupted him, “Only, you said just now that grandfather killed your father. What is going on? Are you angry with me? ”
When Xiang Chen Xi thought about this, he clenched his fists and said, “My father committed suicide!”
Tao Chu Liang sucked in a cold breath. This situation was simply too scary, she didn’t dare believe it.
“My father met my mother on a business trip and they fell in love at first sight. But my mom is just an ordinary company employee, and my grandpa won’t let them get married. ” As Xiang Chen Xi said this, he lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Tao Chu Liang gently wrapped around his fist and gently said: “Forget it, I shouldn’t have asked you.”
Xiang Chen Xi said as he wrapped his arm around her waist, “You will find out sooner or later … “Although my grandpa disagrees, my parents are privately together, and my mom is pregnant with me and my sister.”
“This matter was known by grandpa. He secretly sent my mom abroad, cut off the connection between my parents, and lied to my dad that my mom was dead. “Daddy believes it …” Xiang Chen Xi could not continue.
But Tao Chu Liang understood that his father must have died in love.
“Grandfather never thought that my father would use such a method to fight him! His only son had chosen to die for a woman! Then Grandpa saw my mother gave birth to me and my sister, he carried us both away and gave my mother a sum of money. But until now, I haven’t been able to find my mother. I don’t even know if she’s still alive … ”
Hearing everything that Xiang Chen Xi had said, Tao Chu Liang’s heart sank. She pitied Xiang Chen Xi, no wonder he had never mentioned his parents.
