Chapter 327
Adopting and Raising the Male Lead and the Villain 327
During the meal, Zhong Yuhuan told them of what happened with Huo Damei. She frowned. Could there be someone orchestrating things behind the scenes?
Huo Chengming sneered. Clearly. As he spoke, he put a fish ball into Zhong Yuhuans bowl. No matter how angry he was, he wouldnt forget to pick food for Zhong Yuhuan.
Li Jinyuan didnt say anything, but after the meal, he secretly called someone.
Li Yong had already started to introduce Li Jinyuan to things concerning the Jinghua Group. In Li Yongs opinion, him using the Li familys power meant Li Jinyuan was quickly adapting to his new identity. He could only be happy about it and assist him and definitely not show his disapproval in any of it.
As expected, Li Yong gave him many more resources to aid him after he called.
Over the next few days, Li Yong brought Li Jinyuan to visit some of his old business friends. By this time, pretty much everyone knew that Li Jinyuan was returning to the Li family.
And it was also at this time that Li Jinyuan found out who the person behind the scenes was.
It really was a bit complicated.
The person who told Huo Damei what to do was actually a nephew of the current president Ning. After digging deeper, he found that the nephew had that type of relationship with Ling Lan. Presumably, Ling Lan often told him about her woes, about how Zhong Yuhuan took away the things that belonged to her. And so, this man decided to get revenge for his beloved.
Li Jinyuans expression grew colder.
The Ning family.
The family that annoyed him whenever they were brought up.
Who let Huanhuans mother and Mrs. Ning set an engagement for their children for fun all those years ago?
Although it had been many years since he had heard anything about Young Master Ning, and the Nings and Zhongs have had no interactions after Zhong Chis death, Li Jinyuan still felt like his heart was being pricked whenever he thought of this person.
Li Jinyuan told the driver to go to the Nings place.
Wei Jie, who was still under his employ, transitioned quickly from his role as agent to his new position as personal assistant.
Wei Jies adaptability was very good, trying his best in everything he did. He had worked with Li Jinyuan for many years and was very familiar with his style. Therefore, it was better for him to follow Li Jinyuan as opposed to staying in the business.
At the Ning villa.
Someone was already there.
Huo Chengming was sitting on the sofa. He was a head taller than President Ning, so when they sat next to each other, Huo Chengming seemed more like the host than President Ning.
Currently, there was one person and a smashed laptop in front of Huo Chengming.
I dont know if I should say that youre smart or dumb. Huo Chengming kicked the laptop, his face full of anger. Making an alternate account, posting everywhere that your Ning family has an engagement with the Zhong family, and that Zhong Yuhuan isnt abiding by womanly morals, always fickle with her relations Haaa do you not even know what water armies are? Hm? Or is it to show your dedication to Ling Lan?
President Nings expression was very ugly and couldnt help but say, Mr. Huo, you barged into my house and immediately started accusing people, smashing and hitting things. Isnt this too much?
The Nings werent the same as when Zhong Chi was still alive.
The Ning family kept losing money, year after year. Of course, Huo Chengming had no small part in this. However, Huo Chengming never personally acted, afraid of leaving traces that Zhong Yuhuan could find and support her thinking that he was doing bad things.
So at this moment, President Ning couldnt help but let out a bit of his resentment towards Huo Chengming.
Its just that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a servant yell, Mr. Li, h-how can you just barge in like this?
Mr. Li? Which Mr. Li?
President Ning was only confused for an instant before he saw Li Jinyuan stride in.
How unlucky for you, Huo Chengming wont be the only one who goes overboard in a minute, Li Jinyuan lightly said.
President Nings face alternated between red and white, his expression extremely bad.
If it was before, the last person he would have to worry about would be Li Jinyuan. But now that he has the Jinghua Group behind him, it was enough to completely squash him.
President Ning could only soften his attitude, saying, Originally, the two families were friends. Didnt Mrs. Zhong want to marry her daughter to us back then? Although it later fell through because of their age gap, and our boy was below expectations, so we didnt want to harm Miss Zhong, but doesnt the friendship between the two families still exist? Why do you have to make such a scene?
It would be fine if he didnt bring up the engagement, but now that he did, it was akin to using oil to douse a fire.
Not to mention Huo Chengming, even Li Jinyuans expression was terrible.
President Ning immediately reacted. Hasnt there been a lot of waves online lately? About how the two kids that the Ding family adopted both have intentions towards Zhong Yuhuan
His expression changed drastically.
Coincidentally, someone came downstairs at that moment.
The person looked to be in their twenties, wearing a well-fitted suit. Although his atmosphere was very different from before, his appearance hadnt changed all that much.
He was the Young Master Ning who had an engagement with Zhong Yuhuan previously.
Huo Chengmings expression sank, and Li Jinyuans eyes partly revealed a dark light.
Young Master Ning had also seen them. His instincts told him to turn around and walk away, but after two steps, he felt like it was too embarrassing, so he stopped awkwardly and turned around robotically to face Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan.
Mr. Huo, Mr. Li
How severely was Young Master Ning beaten that year? It was to the extent that whenever he saw Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, he would feel his bones hurt.
