118: Chapter 117 Isn’t There Me?
“Alright, son-in-law.”
Mu Chen had to turn serious; knowing Liu Yuxi’s character, unless it was something extremely urgent, she wouldn’t leave in such a rush.
Next, Mu Chen immediately took the breakfast prepared by Ms.
Wu and drove his BMW at high speed to Qingcheng International.
Along the way, many security guards greeted him, Mu Chen responded and then quickly entered the president’s office.
However, as soon as he arrived, Mu Chen was stunned, the office was empty except for Tong Lisha working on some documents, though her expression did not look good either.
Tong Lisha was a bit flustered when she saw Mu Chen, after all, Mu Chen had saved her mother, making him her lifesaver, which involuntarily changed her attitude towards him.
“Good morning, beauty, how’s your mother?”
“Much better, she’ll be discharged from the hospital in a few days,” Tong Lisha said with a smile.
But why are you here alone, where is Yuxi?”
“What do you need the president for?”
“Of course, I’m bringing my wife breakfast!
She hasn’t had any today.”
Tong Lisha rolled her eyes at Mu Chen and said, “If you want to flirt with the president, just say so, don’t keep calling her your wife, it sounds like you’re deluded!”
“Beauty, I really am Yuxi’s husband, I swear to heaven.
If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you our marriage certificate tomorrow.”
“I don’t even want to see it, even if it’s real, it must be something you fabricated with high technology,” Tong Lisha said skeptically.
“Forget it, if you don’t believe it, that’s fine.
But can you tell me where Yuxi went?”
“I’m not sure exactly where the president is, wait, if you say the president is your wife, how do you not know where she went?”
“Well, we’ve been having issues lately, you understand.”
“…” Tong Lisha gave Mu Chen another skeptical look, her trust dwindling.
“Alright, I’ll call her myself!” Mu Chen said, and immediately made a call, not to Liu Yuxi, but to Shadow, as Mu Chen knew Liu Yuxi too well, he’d have to rely on Shadow.
“Hey boss, what’s up?”
“Where are you guys?”
“At an orphanage, I’m not sure of the location, but I’ll send you the specifics right away.”
“Okay, got it, I’m on my way.” After saying this, Mu Chen hung up.
“Scoundrel, you actually know where the president is, don’t you!”
“Got it, beautiful,” Mu Chen said proudly.
“If you found her, tell the president, we have some problems at the company,” Tong Lisha said worriedly.
“Why don’t you tell her yourself?”
“Her phone is unreachable.”
And hey, beautiful, you look better without makeup, more tempting and delicate.
Also, stop wearing red bras, I like black, purple isn’t bad either.” After saying this, Mu Chen quickly left.
Tong Lisha stared in the direction Mu Chen left, froze for a few seconds, then cursed loudly, “Scoundrel, disgusting, wait, how did he know I wore a red bra, could it be…”
Mu Chen left and after opening the location sent by Shadow, he quickly drove to a place called Tongxin Orphanage, where he saw Liu Yuxi’s car.
“Does my wife do charity work?
If so, it’s quite a revelation; she isn’t as cold-hearted as I thought,” Mu Chen muttered as he walked in.
The orphanage wasn’t large or particularly beautiful, but it was clean and orderly, which felt pleasant.
However, as soon as Mu Chen reached the gate, he heard someone shouting, “Liu Yuxi, Tianhai City’s number one beauty, we respect that you’re the top beauty so we can avoid demolition, but the price is one billion.
Produce one billion, and we won’t touch this place.”
Mu Chen walked in, saw over a dozen people confronting Liu Yuxi along with joyful laughter from some children.
Behind Liu Yuxi stood two women and two middle-aged people, while facing them was a fat middle-aged man in a leather jacket, accompanied by others who looked fierce.
“Exactly, one billion,” chorused the lackeys.
“You’re dreaming, this is robbery,” Liu Yuxi roared.
Though Liu Yuxi was very wealthy, a billionaire, one billion was still a staggering amount, essentially daylight robbery.
“We will not agree to the demolition, no matter the amount, but your asking price is outrageous, and we won’t accept it,” the people behind Liu Yuxi said sternly.
“Ha ha, no money, huh?
Then we will flatten this place tomorrow,” the fat middle-aged man bellowed.
“Do you have no conscience, no charity in your hearts, are your hearts made of iron?” Liu Yuxi shouted.
“Sorry, we prioritize profits, and aren’t you, Liu Yuxi, a billionaire?
What, can’t afford one billion?
If you can’t, spend a night with me, you’re pretty enough, I could even gift this to you,” the fat middle-aged man said with a cold sneer.
“The land here is worth at most a few million, you’re asking for one billion, this is extortion.”
“Enough talk, will you pay or not?
If not, we’ll demolish,” the fat middle-aged man confidently pressured Liu Yuxi.
“You… fine, I’ll pay,” Liu Yuxi finally said, unwilling to see the place demolished.
“Liu Yuxi, you can’t, we cannot let you pay one billion,” the four people said one after another, disagreeing.
“No more talking, if we don’t pay they will really demolish it,” Liu Yuxi said turning pale, clearly feeling powerless.
“This…” The four didn’t know what to say anymore; they knew Liu Yuxi well, she was determined, and would even jump into a fire pit.
“That’s right, Liu Yuxi is indeed straightforward, looking forward to future cooperation.
Here is my bank account number, please transfer the money,” the fat middle-aged man said, handing Liu Yuxi a piece of paper.
However, just as Liu Yuxi was about to take it, Mu Chen swiftly appeared, grabbed it, and tore it in front of everyone.
“It’s you who are the scoundrel,” Liu Yuxi was shocked, amazed at Mu Chen’s appearance, shocked that he knew where she was.
Forgetting about Liu Yuxi, everyone’s face changed dramatically, especially the middle-aged man whose expression darkened to an extreme, staring at Mu Chen, his killing intent escalating, clearly upset by Mu Chen’s interference.
“Liu Yuxi, I’m your husband after all, and you didn’t even let me face this with you, do you really think I’m just playacting as a husband?” Mu Chen looked at Liu Yuxi seriously, his eyes filled with anger.
“We’ll be divorced soon, and I can handle my own matters,” Liu Yuxi earnestly said.
“Handle it yourself, being swindled for one billion is also handling it?” Mu Chen retorted seriously.
“What else can I do.”
“Isn’t that what I’m here for?”
