Chapter 90 - 90: What Does This Have To Do With Me?
“Are you dressed like this to seduce me?” Li Zhenting took another puff of his cigar, his eyes narrowing slightly, and a cold arc forming at the corner of his lips.
Shen Ning hesitated for a moment, something was off. She quickly lowered her head.
Instantly, she felt extremely embarrassed!
She noticed that two buttons on her work uniform had inexplicably come undone, revealing the snow-white skin and slender neck beneath. It was unclear whether it was due to nervousness or some other reason.
She immediately covered her chest with both hands, hurriedly left the room to fasten the buttons properly, and then returned.
“Mr. Li, I’m sorry. i didn’t mean to. 1 can swear.”
She explained anxiously, but it seemed that the more she explained, the more suspicious it sounded. She had to stand properly, fearing that those piercing eyes might discover something amiss on her body.
“Yeah, it’s something like that.”
Fortunately, Li Zhenting didn’t dwell on this matter. He slowly spoke, extinguishing his cigar in the ashtray and then lifting his gaze to look at her. From a drawer, he took out a red notebook and placed it in front of her.
“Take a good look at this.”
Shen Ning looked at the crimson notebook and instantly had a bad feeling. A grown man using a red notebook, combined with his enigmatic and eerie demeanor, meant trouble.
Eight or nine times out of ten, he was going to make things difficult for her!
She cautiously picked up the red notebook and examined it.
Upon closer inspection, she almost spat out blood!
It turned out to be an account book, listing the financial transactions between Gu Qi and Li Group over the years!
She widened her eyes and stared at him. “Mr. Li, may I ask what this means?”
Li Zhenting gazed at her coldly, pursing his thin lips. “Over the past few years, Li Group has provided nearly three hundred million in funding to Gu Qi.”
“So what? How is it my concern? You may have given all that money, but it’s for your woman.”
“No,” Li Zhenting shook his finger, “Originally, Gu Qi was founded by your mother. However, if it weren’t for my capital support over the years, it would have gone bankrupt long ago. So, I ask you, can you still reclaim the ownership of Gu Qi now?”
“…,” Shen Ning was at a loss for words.
It seemed that his words made some sense!
But wasn’t he the one who voluntarily acted as Shen Mei’s savior, all for the sake of his own pleasure in bed?
What did it have to do with her?
“Mr. Li, your logic doesn’t make sense,” Shen Ning shook her head.
“This is like you building a house for a woman, but the foundation of the house belongs to someone else. In the end, the house is taken back by the rightful owner. Do you think 1 should claim the construction cost of the house?”
“Of course not.”
Shen Ning immediately disagreed.
“Because the foundation of that house originally belonged to someone else. If your woman used improper means to take it and now it’s rightfully returned to the original owner, it’s only fair. As for you, if you willingly played the role of the ‘victim,’ then it’s your own fault. You reap what you sow. Who told you to indulge in lust? If you want to sleep with a woman, you shouldn’t be afraid to spend money.”
“No, what does sleeping with women have to do with this?” Li Zhenting was somewhat puzzled.
In fact, over the years, apart from that night six years ago, he hadn’t slept with Shen Mei at all!
