t even trembled a bit, "Your hypocrisy is quite cute."You're being two-faced, I warn you... If you keep attracting trouble like this, even little girls will be harmed. Next time, I won't take you out!..."Good, you know yourself. When your husband comes back, I'll reward you well~" Li Bochen looked at Luo Ningxi meaningfully, his voice carrying a hint of huskiness and temptation.

Luningxi suddenly thought of the so-called reward he mentioned, and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He wasn't sure if it was a reward in bed. He immediately retorted with anger, "Get lost! Take good care of yourself, I don't want your reward."

“I was trying to tell you about a new bag I think you'd like, one that can’t be bought domestically. You don’t seem interested though, so I guess I won’t mention it.”

"Hey—"

Luning Xitun immediately realized he had been played. He glared at him angrily, "You dare"

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you when I get back. Goodnight, wife."

Good night, honey.

……

In the hospital, Yu Chengnan posted to his Moments and didn't think much of it afterward.

This is just the first step, as long as they use Luo Ningxi's guilt, there will be many opportunities for them to get along in the future.

However, the thought had just arisen when he suddenly received a call from his assistant——

"Mr. Yu, something's wrong. Several of our business partners have suddenly pulled out their investments and announced they will never cooperate with Yu Corporation again."

Yu Chengnan's face suddenly darkened, and he clenched his phone. "What's the reason"

“Those in charge just said they didn't want to cooperate for now, and they didn't give any reason.” The assistant answered tremblingly.

Yu Chengnan was a successful businessman, though his experience wasn't as vast as that of other prominent figures in the industry. He had achieved some success, of course, and he didn't believe these ghost stories about unwillingness to cooperate. There must be other reasons behind it.

"Contact these companies' CEOs, I want to talk to them personally!"

Two hours later.

Yu Chengnan met with the business partner in person through a video call.

"Mr. Wang, our cooperation is going well, we are about to sign a new contract. You're backtracking now, if this gets out, it might damage your reputation."

Through the phone screen, Yu Chengnan calmly negotiated with the other party.

However, on the screen, the middle-aged man known as Wang always didn't look too good. "Mr. Yu," he said, "Even if you want to sue me for breach of contract, I have no opinion. I admit that I was wrong about this."

"I'm not trying to place blame, but Wang General Manager, your sudden withdrawal requires a reasonable explanation that I can accept, don't you think"

Yu Chengnan's shrewd eyes narrowed, he insisted that I get to the bottom of it and find out who was behind this.

President Wang let out a long sigh, "President Yu, have you offended the Shengshi Group"

Yu Chengnan's expression was solemn, "You mean..."

"To be honest with you, the Shengshi Group has made it clear that anyone who cooperates with you is against them. You know how things are in the current imperial capital – besides those few big families, the Shengshi Group is already the leader. We really can't refuse."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Chengnan's temple throbbed violently, and he almost smashed his phone to the ground.

Shengshi Group!

Is it President Sheng

Could it be because of the charity auction that night

Is he raising the price himself and deliberately retaliating against himself

I never thought General Sheng would be so stingy!

All night, Yu Chengnan was dealing with company matters, but the more he dealt with them, the more problems surfaced behind them. For a time, he was so busy that he was overwhelmed.

After pulling an all-nighter, Yu Chengnan was haggard and in pain from his wounds.

He furrowed his brows, glanced at the time on his phone, then flipped through his contacts before finally pausing his fingertip on the name "Luo Ningxi".

……

On the other side.

Upon waking, Luo Ningxi was getting dressed and ready to leave when she received a call from Yu Chengnan.

Before she could even say a word, Yu Chengnan's voice came through the phone.

"Announce that everyone in the company should join an online meeting...cough cough..."

"No matter what, the company must keep running. Even if those business partners break their contracts at the last minute, I won't let the Yu family collapse under my watch!"

Luo Ningxi was completely bewildered by these words, but she quickly recovered and said, "Yu Chengnan Hello Did you dial the wrong number"

He wasn't recuperating in the hospital, how come he suddenly opened a meeting

And the voice sounds very weak…

"Ningxi" After a rustling sound, Yu Chengnan seemed to react as if he had just realized, "I don't even know how I called you. I didn't sleep all night yesterday and was a little confused."

"Didn't you sleep all night" Luo Ningxi's voice was laced with concern, "Have you run into any trouble"

“It’s my own fault. I offended the CEO of Shengshi Group, Sheng Zong, when I snatched that necklace from you last time. Now they're boycotting us and took away my business partners.”

"What" Luo Ningxi's mind flashed back to her meeting with President Sheng that day, "Could there be some misunderstanding I met President Sheng that day, and he didn't seem this narrow-minded..."

Halfway through his sentence, Yu Chengnan sighed, "Perhaps. It's a pity that I'm not familiar with President Sheng, otherwise, I could have talked about it."

Hearing no response from Luo Ningxi on the other end of the phone, Yu Chengnan expressed his remorse, "I'm sorry for suddenly saying these things to you. Are you tired of listening"

Yu Chengnan's voice was very weak. Luo Ningxi listened, and finally couldn't bear to care about him, "You still have to pay attention to your body, don't overwork yourself."

"With your concern, I feel much better." Yu Chengnan's eyes were filled with a smile. "I won't bother you anymore."

He hung up the phone himself and let out a long sigh.

Luo Ningxi looked at the call log on her phone screen.

It just so happens that she's going to Shengshi Group now. Should she ask about Yushi Group

At the bottom of it all, he stood his ground against President Sheng just to film his deceased mother's belongings.insincere expression, "Young Master Li Er, you keep saying that I'm a poisoness, but the truth is not what you think. It was Jian Nining who came over and pushed me, causing her to lose her balance an...
