Chapter 590: Chapter 590: He’s Just After a Novelty
Old Master Li didn’t seem shocked at all by the news. His well-like eyes didn’t show even the slightest ripple. His hands were clasped together on the table as he looked at Chi Enen, exuding an innate sense of oppression. “Do you really think that child’s play marriage certificate of yours has any validity in my presence?”
“I can clearly tell you that your so-called marriage is not legal in Country W. Strictly speaking, you two aren’t even married!”
Chi Enen could feel the oppressive force. She met those eyes, which seemed to have everything under control, and her red lips parted, “Isn’t marriage just a piece of paper? As long as Li Beijue and I consider it valid, it is valid, isn’t it?”
This counterattack, beautifully done!
Old Master Li was being openly contradicted for the first time. He frowned slightly but said nothing, yet the sense of oppression in the room grew heavier…
In the Presidential Suite, everyone involuntarily held their breath, all except for Chi Enen who looked into his eyes unwaveringly and unflinchingly.
Old Master Li squinted his eyes, a trace of appreciation flashing through them.
This was still the first time someone had dared to directly contradict him, even holding his gaze for over three minutes.
What a pity, she came from a background that was too low and a family situation too poor.
“I do not approve of you two being together.” He was no longer beating around the bush, “The fact that your status isn’t good enough for Beijue is undeniable. However, you have given birth to a very smart son for Beijue. As the mother of my great-grandson, I can offer you a reasonable compensation. In addition to money, I can give you a villa, a small company enough to last you a lifetime. Of course, if you only want money, you can also give me a ballpark figure. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’ll agree. But my stance remains the same, you and Beijue will not and cannot be together. Do you understand?”
“I don’t want money…”
As if he hadn’t heard her, Old Master Li poured the tea from his cup into the waste bin, and said indifferently, “Miss Chi doesn’t have to reject it so hastily. I know, you must think that by holding on to Beijue, the benefits you could get would be more than just this. But I can tell you clearly, in your status, Beijue is merely seeking novelty. You’ve met Zhiyuan, haven’t you? Do you think you surpass her in any way, be it external or internal conditions?”
Kim Zhiyuan… In Chi Enen’s mind, the image of a beautiful, tall, elegant, and unpretentious girl emerged. She fell silent for a moment but still held firmly to her own views, “Love is not about an equivalent exchange. Liking each other is more important than being suitable.”
“That’s because you haven’t discovered the unsuitability yet! Once you do, you naturally won’t like each other anymore. It’s like going to a shoe store to buy shoes. The shoes you like aren’t necessarily the ones that fit. Even if you force yourself to wear them because you like them, when your heels get blisters, there will come a day when you can’t bear it any longer. Miss Chi, do you want to wait until Beijue finds the misfit and can’t bear it any longer before you let go embarrassedly?” Old Master Li, with decades of experience, spoke each word with a vicious acuity that pierced to the heart. “You don’t need to rush to answer me, consider it carefully first. Until you’ve made up your mind, the conditions I’ve mentioned still stand.”
“Jason, escort her out.”
Old Master Li, as though certain that Chi Enen would seriously consider it, gave the order indifferently.
“Yes, Old Master Jue.” The Old Butler approached Chi Enen, a gentleman extending his hand to guide her, “Miss Chi, please this way.”
Chi Enen bit her lower lip tightly and turned to walk out…
Just as she was about to reach the doorway, Chi Enen suddenly turned around—
