Chapter 673 - 673 What Are You?
673 What Are You?
And in this case, the most suitable candidate to back him up would be Zhuang Li. Not only was Zhuang Li the Second Young Master of Zhuang Group, but he was also going to be Wei Corporation’s son-in-law soon. Hence, he only needed to say one word to get Lu Guo’s grat.i.tude. He would also be able to bring the Lu and Su Families under his control, and these powers would help him become the heir to Zhuang Group! Zhuang Li’s heart was filled with wild ambition that he could not suppress. It made his blood boil, so he stood up to help Lu Guo without any hesitation at this time.
Wei Xi’er, who had been standing outside the crowd and quietly watching the development of the situation, saw Zhuang Li appear and couldn’t help but frown. She quietly moved closer and pulled on Zhuang Li’s clothes, asking in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
“Xi’er, my father is about the same age as President Lu. I really can’t bear to see him being bullied like this.” Zhuang Li’s face was full of righteousness as he shook his head and said to Wei Xi’er, “Even if you don’t agree with my actions, I still have to speak up for President Lu in all fairness.”
Wei Xi’er opened her mouth. Fairness? Were Zhuang Li’s words fair? If it weren’t for the Lu Family who had stirred up trouble first, Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing would have gone back to change their clothes by now. However, Zhuang Li had already brought up his father’s name, so it was not appropriate for Wei Xi’er to persuade him any further. She didn’t want to embarra.s.s Zhuang Li in front of everyone either. The uneasiness and guilt and in her heart made Wei Xi’er not dare to look Shen Hanxing in the eye. After a moment of hesitation, she let go of her hand and closed her eyes as she said to Zhuang Li, “If this is your decision, then do it. But I have to tell you, I don’t approve of you standing out!”
!!
As the saying goes, even a man made of mud has some blood in him! Since the Lu Family dared to provoke them, they deserved to be slapped in the face! So Zhuang Li’s actions were…
When Zhuang Li heard Wei Xi’er’s words, he squinted his eyes and a cold light flashed across the bottom of his pupils. It was even better that she didn’t approve. The Lu and Su Familys’ grat.i.tude and loyalty should all be given to him alone. This woman Wei Xi’er didn’t want such a great benefit and only cared about her emotions, she’s indeed a woman and surely couldn’t achieve great things! Even if Wei Xi’er’s current entertainment company was thriving, what use was there in that? Zhuang Li’s heart was filled with faint mockery, but he still smiled gently on the surface. He took Wei Xi’er’s hand to his lips and kissed it, all with a smile on his face: “Xi’er, thank you for your understanding. No matter what choice I make, it won’t affect our relationship, right?” He looked at Wei Xi’er with eager eyes, as if he would immediately stop his actions if she shook her head.
Feeling how much Zhuang Li cherished her, Wei Xi’er’s heart warmed slightly. She nodded and said, “Feelings are feelings. I won’t mix them up.” She only had a different opinion from Zhuang Li, and Zhuang Li did not force her to support the Lu Family as well.
Upon seeing this, the smile on Zhuang Li’s face became more sincere. He kissed Wei Xi’er’s hand again before letting go. He adjusted his collar, stepped forward and said to Ji Yan, “President Ji, as the old saying goes, to be kind to others, you must respect the old and love the young. No matter what, President Lu is still an elder at his age. Don’t you think you’re being too arrogant towards him? Take a step back when handling matters, and it’ll be easier to work things out in the future!” He put on the look of a peacemaker and smiled. “The way I see it, it’s just a few words. Everyone’s att.i.tude isn’t too polite, so let’s not bicker with each other anymore.”
In Zhuang Li’s heart, Ji Yan was an idiot. He really did not know how Ji Yan managed to expand Ji Corporation to its current state! He had actually turned against two companies for a woman like Shen Hanxing! He had even embarra.s.sed himself in front of everyone! If it were him, he would have built a good relationship with the Lu Family at this time, slowly nibbling away at them, and finally completely annexing these two families! When the Lu and Su families were to go bankrupt one after another, what revenge could he not take?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Li felt that Ji Yan was extremely stupid and so looked at Ji Yan with a sense of superiority. He thought he had hidden it well, but he did not know that the arrogance in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at Ji Yan with bated breath. Ji Yan’s expression did not change and he was as calm as ever.
“Oh.” Ji Yan nodded coldly and asked Zhuang Li, “Who are you to say this to me? Do you think you’re worthy of criticizing me?” What the h.e.l.l! This Second Young Master of the Zhuang Family who had not achieved anything and could only live under the protection of his family, how could such a person be worthy of criticizing him? Even if Ji Yan and Zhuang Li were of similar age, in Ji Yan’s eyes, Zhuang Li was no different from a spoilt playboy! Not only Ji Yan, but the others also had this opinion of Zhuang Li.
