BXBX NOVEL Chapter 456 - 456 Not Worthy of Qiao An
Li Tingfeng’s heart was pierced by Li Ze’en. He said impatiently, “Forget it. In the future, stay by Zeyu’s side and help him manage some business. However, you have to be smart and not cause trouble. If you do something wrong and Zeyu doesn’t want you, don’t blame Dad for being heartless. At that time, you can only leave the company.”
Li Ze’en’s mouth widened in surprise.
Instead of helping her, Li Tingfeng’s arrangement reflected his desire to chase her away.
If she wanted to stay, she had to see if Li Zeyu was willing to take him in.
Ze’en put on an obedient look. “I understand. Dad, I’ll perform well.”
“Go. Zeyu is in the CEO’s office. Secretary Zhang, take her there.”
“Yes.”
Secretary Zhang brought Ze’en to the CEO’s office. Li Zeyu sat on a chair in the CEO’s office. Although he was 25 years old, he still had the charm of a mature man.
When Secretary Zhang knocked on the door, Zeyu’s gentle voice sounded. “Please come in.”
Secretary Zhang pushed open the door. When Zeyu looked up and saw his half-sister, Ze’en, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Secretary Zhang walked up to him and explained, “CEO, the chairman asked Miss Ze’en to come over and help you. If you require any assistance, just tell Miss Ze’en.”
Secretary Zhang was loyal to Li Tingfeng in the past and would only convey Li Tingfeng’s decree in detail.
However, now, Secretary Zhang hated Li Tingfeng very much. After having second thoughts, she deliberately omitted some important information, such as Li Tingfeng’s words about letting Zeyu deal with Ze’en at will.
Li Zeyu was shocked. He was very dissatisfied with his father’s arrangements. After all, he and Li Ze’en were incompatible. It would be awkward for the two of them to be in the same office.
However, after Secretary Zhang finished speaking, she left.
Ze’en walked up to Li Zeyu and looked at his noble-looking attire. Then, she looked at her cheap professional suit and smiled.
Zeyu found her smile terrifying. “What are you smiling at?” he asked with a frown.
Ze’en sat on the chair opposite him and poured herself a cup of tea. “Li Zeyu, did you see that? We’re both Li Tingfeng’s children, but he only loves you and not me. He nurtured you with all his heart and left the best job opportunities to you. What about me?”
“I borrowed a set of professional clothes and came to the company myself. I wandered around the company for most of the day, but no one received me. We’re all born to the same father. Why don’t you tell me why the difference in our lives is so huge?”
Li Zeyu looked very embarrassed. “I know that my mother destroyed your family. You hate us in your heart. But Sister Ze’en, this is something I can’t stop. I’m just their child. I objected to my mother destroying your family, but I only received a scolding. What else can I change?”
Li Ze’en said, “Because you can’t change it, you’ll accept these things that originally belonged to my brother and me with a clear conscience?”
Li Zeyu was speechless.
Ze’en’s gaze landed on the document in front of him and she said sourly, “Li Zeyu, if it weren’t for you and your sister, my life wouldn’t be so tragic.”
Zeyu realized that she was looking at his document and covered it in a panic.
His action made Li Ze’en even more curious about the document. “Why? Are you guarding against me? Are you afraid that I’ll snatch your business?”
Li Zeyu stammered, “It’s not business.”
Ze’en was surprised to see that his ears were even starting to turn red. Could there be anything relating to a girl hidden in the document?
Li Ze’en chatted with him and diverted his attention. “But don’t worry, Li Zeyu. I won’t take a single cent of my father’s assets. If you like them, take them all. I’m prepared to use my own hands to fight for my home. That’s my ability.”
Li Zeyu gave her a thumbs up. “Sister Ze’en, actually, I thought of living a life like yours. But my parents didn’t agree and forced me to come back and inherit my father’s business.”
Ze’en finished her tea and handed a glass to Li Zeyu. “Can you pour me a glass of water?”
Li Zeyu took the glass, stood up, and walked towards the pantry.
However, when he returned, he saw Li Ze’en holding his sketch and laughing at him wantonly.
Li Zeyu almost pounced over. He reached out to snatch the painting, but Ze’en refused to let him succeed.
“So you like Aunt?” She laughed at him.
Li Zeyu’s face immediately turned as red as a monkey’s butt.
The first time he saw Qiao An, he fell madly in love with her. He was only attracted to Qiao An’s beautiful appearance at first, but later, when he learned Qiao An’s qualities from others, such as her love for Huo Xiaoran, her independence, and her intelligence, he loved her even more.
However, Qiao An was already taken. He could only secretly hide his love.
“Give it back to me.”
Li Ze’en was tired of teasing and returned the portrait to him.
However, she didn’t stand on ceremony and criticized him. “Li Zeyu, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Give up as soon as possible. Qiao An won’t like you. With your nature of being a mother’s boy, Qiao An will only look down on you. She likes a man like Uncle, an independent man who left the family and started from scratch.”
Li Zeyu’s face turned pale.
Li Ze’en couldn’t wait to strike this delicate greenhouse flower in front of her until he could never raise his head. She actually didn’t hate Li Zeyu, but she hated Li Tingfeng and her stepmother too much. Destroying Li Zeyu would make Li Tingfeng and her stepmother, who were proud of him, lose the right to show off.
“Li Zeyu, if Aunt finds out that you like her, she will definitely feel disgusted. She has always had good morals, and you are the product of the love of a scumbag’s mistress. Your existence is a disgrace. She looks down on disgraceful people like you from the bottom of her heart.”
“Enough,” Li Zeyu roared with a red face.
“She’s not who you say she is.”
Li Ze’en was slightly stunned. She felt that she had indeed expressed it wrongly because of her impulsiveness. She corrected herself. “Indeed, Qiao An is exceptional, but you’re not worthy of her.”
Li Zeyu’s face turned green and red. “Li Ze’en, I know you hate my mother. In order to take revenge on her, you did everything you could to destroy Zefeng and me. But I also have some words for you. Don’t be blinded by hatred. In the end, it would be too late to regret your mistake.”
Li Ze’en stopped while she was ahead. She drank another cup of tea and took advantage of the chaos until it was time to get off work. Then, she picked up her bag and left.
