Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C195
Chapter 195 – Birthday Party
At the press conference on the day of the Seventh Festival, many reporters had filmed the scene of Xiang Chen Xi protecting the flowers and escorting Tao Chu Liang out of the venue. Thus, their love affair was exposed, and all sorts of news related to the two began to spread. Some reporters even dug out the internal conflict in the Taur Group from three years ago.
Even the matter of Tao Chu Liang disappearing for three years in the middle of it, that Xiang Chen Xi had been bitterly searching for her, was dug out by someone. Thus, news like “the president of infatuation has always been single for love” has been coming out one after another these days.
When Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang saw this news, they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, the two of them didn’t come forward to fend off this rumor, and instead spread the news of their marriage. Their relationship was real, so there was nothing to hide.
As a result, the media began reporting that something good was about to happen. The Xiang Group was about to be married with the Taur Group. Although the scale of the Taur Group was far from that of the Xiang Group, Tao Chu Liang’s performance on the Seventh-Day Festival plan still made many big shots in the business world raise their eyebrows. Everyone was still optimistic about the marriage.
But just at this time, another big event happened in the business world, and that was the arrival of Li Li’s twenty-seventh birthday. For people in the business world, a birthday celebration for the president of a group might be a business opportunity. Most business leaders would hold a birthday party, and at the party, they would usually be able to facilitate business cooperation.
The birthday of Leap Group’s CEO was naturally even more grand. Since Li Li’s grandfather, Li Tianchen was still in England, Xiang Shi Yun was the one who planned for her birthday party.
Inside Xiang Shi Yun’s house.
The old man was talking with Li Li. Last time, Li Li had left in a fluster, and the old man had called her over to discuss the birthday banquet with her.
“Li Li, what happened last time was indeed Tao Chu Liang that girl who won the bet. However, there was still a turning point in this matter before the dust landed. You are a smart child and grew up with Chen Xi. No matter what you say, he still has feelings for you. For this birthday party, you must seize this opportunity and let him change his mind. ” Xiang Shi Yun said to Li Li who was in front of him.
Li Li thought for a moment, then nodded her head. Xiang Shi Yun thought that she had understood it as well, but she did not expect that Li Li had other plans in mind.
“At that time, I will bring Chen Xi, Chen Shu and the others with me. The rest will be up to you!” Xiang Shi Yun said.
Li Li laughed: “Grandfather, thank you for worrying about me.”
Xiang Chen Xi was at home watching the wedding photo taken by the two of them that day, when the phone suddenly rang.
Xiang Chen Xi saw that it was Li Li’s number. He frowned and pressed mute, not wanting to answer. But after a while the screen lit up again.
“Answer it.” Tao Chu Liang held onto his arm.
Xiang Chen Xi had no choice but to answer, and then came Li Li’s voice: “Chen Xi, do you still remember the day after tomorrow?”
Xiang Chen Xi was startled. Could it be that the day after tomorrow is some kind of special day? But he didn’t have the slightest impression of his, so he indifferently replied, “I don’t know, but do you have any business with me? “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up.”
Li Li, who was on the other side of the phone, held her breath and spoke in a somewhat miserable tone, “Have you forgotten my birthday? Or have you forgotten everything about us? ”
Birthday? It was only then that Xiang Chen Xi recalled that something had happened, and said: “Oh, so it’s your birthday, then I’ll wish you a happy birthday in advance.”
Hearing Xiang Chen Xi’s tone of voice, which seemed to not care at all, made Li Li extremely angry, but his tone sounded even more pitiful. Didn’t you ever think of coming to see me on my birthday? There’s going to be a birthday party, why don’t you come and accompany me for my birthday? ” His voice was full of pleading.
Xiang Chen Xi said without even thinking, “Banquet? Forget it, I’ll just bless you on the phone. At that time, I will send someone to bring Chu Liang’s and my gifts over. ”
“Chen Xi! I don’t want your gift! I want to see you. Is it so hard to come to my birthday party? Chen Xi, I’m begging you, okay? I just want you to accompany me for my birthday. ” After saying that, Li Li’s voice carried a hint of sobbing.
Xiang Chen Xi frowned. He did not want to go at all, but since the other party was already so submissive, it would be a little cruel of him to reject him directly. He replied, “We’ll talk about it at that time.” He hung up.
Just as he hung up, Xiang Shi Yun called.
Xiang Chen Xi impatiently picked up the call, and then he heard Xiang Shi Yun saying, “Chen Xi, it’s Li Li’s birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, I will send a car to pick you up, regardless of whether you are willing or not, you have to go. Also, don’t bring Tao Chu Liang that girl over there, Li Li did greet her.
“Grandfather!” Isn’t she going too far? ” The moment Xiang Chen Xi heard that he could not even bring Tao Chu Liang along, he got angry.
Xiang Shi Yun berated: “She hasn’t even entered our house yet, what is she going to do? In terms of business, she and Li Li were competitors, so Li Li’s actions were reasonable! Think about it yourself! ” Xiang Shi Yun ended her call.
Xiang Chen Xi angrily threw the phone onto the sofa.
“Chen Xi, what happened? Why are you so angry? ” Tao Chu Liang asked with concern.
Xiang Chen Xi said unhappily: “I originally thought that Li Li was a little pitiful, but now it seems that she is someone that cannot be changed! The day after tomorrow is her birthday. Grandfather told me to go, but they won’t let me bring you there. Even if I don’t, they won’t do anything to me! ”
Tao Chu Liang thought for a while and comforted him: “Forget it, it’s just a birthday, isn’t it? I’ve offended her, so it’s reasonable that she doesn’t want me to go. Since your two families have always been on good terms with each other, you should go. Why do I feel like you’re a child, and even losing your temper? ” Tao Chu Liang mocked.
Xiang Chen Xi hugged her, “Who do you think is a child? Wife, aren’t you jealous? I went to other women’s birthday parties. ” Actually, he had a tyrannical and cold appearance in front of outsiders, but it was only in front of Chu Liang that he could let his guard down.
Tao Chu Liang blinked, and said seriously: “I know you only have me in your heart. Just in time for the birthday party to make peace with her. No matter what, the two of you grew up together, so don’t make things so awkward. I believe that’s what Grandpa thinks too. ”
When he thought about participating in Li Li’s birthday banquet, Xiang Chen Xi had an unhappy look, but he had no other choice.
Li Li’s birthday banquet would be held at the Junton Hotel, so the Old Master reserved the entire hotel for her. The invitation was sent to the big bosses of the merchants the day before, as well as some small organizations’ companies and CEOs. Although a plagiarism scandal had appeared a few days ago, other than causing the shares of the Leap Group to drop a little, it did not threaten the influence of the Leap Group in the entire business world.
Xiang Shi Yun sent out the driver to pick Xiang Chen Xi up early in the morning.
“Come back early after the banquet.” Tao Chu Liang tidied up Xiang Chen Xi’s tie as he said softly.
Xiang Chen Xi held her hand, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: “Mn, if I’m late, go to sleep first.”
Tao Chu Liang saw that Xiang Chen Xi took a look at the car, and also drove to the company. Currently, he had to take care of a lot of the company’s matters personally, and was no longer as free as in the past.
Xiang Chen Xi had to go to the old man’s villa first, and by the time he arrived, Sheng Jue and Chen Shu would already be there. These two people always seemed to arrive before him.
When Xiang Shi Yun saw the look of Xiang Chen Xi’s suit and tie, she nodded in satisfaction. This at least showed that Xiang Chen Xi still valued this birthday celebration. However, he did not know that the reason Xiang Chen Xi was dressed this way was because of Tao Chu Liang’s repeated requests.
“Chen Xi!” The moment Sheng Jue saw Xiang Chen Xi, he went forward to welcome him. He placed his hand on Xiang Chen Xi’s shoulder and dragged him to the side.
Sheng Jue whispered: “Chen Xi, Chu Liang is awesome! Chen Shu and I saw it at home! Tell me honestly, did you actually help out in the dark? ”
Hearing Sheng Jue’s praise, Xiang Chen Xi’s face was also full of pride, and he laughed: “What nonsense are you spouting! My family’s Chu Liang did it all with his own power, before that, even I did not know what kind of medicine she was trying to sell. ”
“Is the matter of Li Li’s plagiarism true?” Sheng Jue’s expression became serious.
Xiang Chen Xi nodded his head in disdain. Sheng Jue understood, it seemed like what Qiao Qing Hao said that day was true.
“I never thought that she would actually do this. In order to win, she did whatever she could. But Chen Xi, have you ever thought about what this means? ”
Xiang Chen Xi looked at him in puzzlement.
Sheng Jue continued: “With my understanding of a woman, when she started to do whatever it took, this would mean that she truly loved you. Be careful, a woman can do anything if she hates him for love! Furthermore, a woman like Li Li is extremely competitive! ”
Xiang Chen Xi suddenly became alert. He felt that after he returned home today, he would have to take good care of Chu Liang and arrange for a few bodyguards to be on his side. He did not want the incident from three years ago to happen again! If Li Li dared to do anything to Chu Liang, he definitely would not care about his relationship with him for so many years.
Xiang Chen Xi and Sheng Jue looked at each other. Sheng Jue knew how much he loved Tao Chu Liang, so he kindly reminded him.
“What are you two talking about!” Chen Shu ran over and gathered in front of the two of them.
Xiang Chen Xi said seriously: “What we are saying is that we should guard against any kind of woman.”
Chen Shu’s eyes became serious: Are you talking about Li Li? That shouldn’t be the case, right? We grew up playing with her, and you two think too much. ”
Xiang Chen Xi kept quiet. No matter who it was, as long as they dared to hurt Chu Liang, he would definitely make that person pay!
