Chapter 342: She's Here Wu Chen and Li Ruobing turned at the same moment. Ten-odd meters away at the southern end of the corridor, four bodyguards laden with bags of every size were escorting two girls. Or two women. Mu Qianqian and Su Qingying. Mu Qianqian looked as full of energy as ever: white shirt, short shorts, knee-high boots, a distinctly girlish cartoon bag on her shoulder. She was waving hard. Beside her, Su Qingying had her usual ethereal air, a pale-blue long dress with high heels…-

Chapter 341: One Man Worth an Entire Great Family! "Ah, young Wu." From his very first words to Wu Chen, Old Master Li sounded every inch the kindly elder. "Yes, it's me. Go ahead, Old Master," Wu Chen said with a smile. Wu Chen had a good deal of respect for the Li family patriarch. The man was in his late seventies, nearing eighty. No one could say how many years he had left, and he was forever thinking about what would come after his death. He had forced his granddaughter Li Ruobing to marry…

Chapter 340: I Wanted to Praise You "Bingbing." An elderly voice came through the phone. "All these years you haven't come home to see your grandfather, or even called. What is it? Are you still holding a grudge against me?" His tone was nothing like it had once been. It was so gentle that Li Ruobing could scarcely reconcile it with the stubborn old man she remembered. There was even a trace of nostalgia and wistfulness in it. "Come home to see you? Hah!" She was so angry she laughed. Her voice…

Chapter 339: Old Bastard! "We just need to pay them," Wu Chen said, glancing at her with a smile. "Just pay them?" Li Ruobing frowned slightly. This had never been a problem money alone could solve. Someone had to be punished. Put plainly, Crooked Zhao and his people had to be protected without undermining Li Ruotai's foundations in Donghai. And now money alone would settle it? And Tang Jingbin was that happy? How much would they have to pay? Surely it would take an astronomical sum for…

Chapter 338: No Ordinary Man Tang Jingbin understood perfectly. Next to the Tang family's feud with the Lius, Tang Xinbao's affair truly was a small matter. After all, the boy had come through it. After Wu Chen had pressed such a "generous gift" on him, the Tang family would have to be utterly senseless, and utterly shameless, to keep pursuing it. Since the two families were going to cooperate, they had to make a big problem small and a small problem disappear. "How can we simply forget it?" Wu…

Chapter 337: Had the Talks Broken Down? "Sis, I swear I wasn't glaring at her. I was just looking. Really, just looking. Am I not even allowed to look? What do you want me to do, gouge my own eyes out?" Li Ruotai was still trying to explain himself. He genuinely felt wronged. From where he stood, he certainly had no fondness for Zhuang Xiaodie, but he bore her no ill will either. What he cared about was his sister's feelings. And since Li Ruobing herself did not mind, he knew it was not his place…

Chapter 336: Apologize! Now! Li Ruobing's makeup was light as ever today, but she wore vivid lipstick and a pair of decorative frames with no lenses. The whole effect gave her the full presence of a woman who ran things. "Miss Li." Zhuang Xiaodie reached her and greeted her again, softly. "They're all here?" Li Ruobing asked casually. She already knew Li Ruotai, Sun Yongzhang, and Tang Jingbin had come. Li Ruotai had spoken to her on the way over. "They are," Zhuang Xiaodie said. "Upstairs,…

Chapter 335: I'm All Ears Marriage alliances among great families were common. Nine years earlier, Liu Hongmei, the second daughter of the Liu family's third generation, had married Dou Rui, a direct-line descendant of the Dou family's third generation, and with that the two houses formally became allies. In fact they had already cooperated extensively in business before the wedding, and their ties ran deep. The marriage had simply been the natural next step. The Dou family was that same Dou…

Chapter 334: Hadn't We Already Agreed on This? Wu Chen appeared not to have delivered the most important part yet, namely what the damaging information actually was. In truth, though, the "gift" he had thrown onto the table was far more staggering than the information itself. The Li family's willingness to help the Tang family strike at the Liu family was the crux of it. The Li family's strength needed no explaining. And the Li and Tang families belonged to different circles, with little overlap…

Chapter 333: A Generous Gift In the second-floor study. "Mr. Tang, have a seat..." Wu Chen invited them to sit, and the three of them sat down on the sofas. "Mr. Tang, you've seen how Young Master Tang is doing. He's recovered quite well these past few days. To my mind, since this was a misunderstanding, we'd do better not to make too much of it. That serves both the Tang family and the Li family." Wu Chen came straight to the point, though the angle from which he spoke was a delicate…
