992 When His Highness Met His Love Rival

He made the call secretly behind Li Meng’s back.

It was because Little Fatty Cheng was so terrified when they left the hotel. His father kept insisting on divorcing his mom, he had never seen his dad so angry before.

Once his call went through, Little Fatty Cheng started crying miserably. First, he mentioned that his parents were quarreling. Then, he lamented that he was bullied by his classmate today and he begged his grandfather to seek justice on his behalf.

Everyone knew that the Li family had only one daughter, thus this grandson had become Li Qingzhu’s treasured grandson.

Li Qingzhu became greatly infuriated as he could not stand it when he heard that his grandson was bullied. He was in the education ministry, so he had quite a temper too. “Tell grandpa, is it the bumpkin that you mentioned who bullied you?”

“Uhm!” Little Fatty Cheng immediately answered affirmatively, and continued crying so dramatically that he started belching.

Li Qingzhu swore silently before consoling him, “Cheng Cheng, tell grandpa where you are now. I will get someone to fetch you, are your parents still there?”

“Yes, they are,” he wailed. “We’re at E-Emperor Hotel, come quickly, grandpa.” Little Fatty Cheng sobbed as he hung up the phone, adamantly plotting his revenge to return the blow he received on his face. His mother had mentioned before that his grandfather had the authority to forbid people from receiving any education, so even the rich had to succumb to politicians like him!

Li Qingzhu stared at his phone momentarily and called the kindergarten immediately. First, he angrily berated the headmaster, which made him feel slightly better. However, his tone was still dissatisfied as he growled, “I tell you, you must transfer this Helian Qingchen out today! What kind of students are you taking in? What poor upbringing they have!”

The headmaster apologized incessantly, but he still replied responsibly, “Is there any misunderstanding between the two children? What if I get Qingchen to apologize to Cheng Cheng?”

“Headmaster Dong, children can be forgiven if they make mistakes once or twice. If they keep repeating their faults, as the Deputy Minister, I have to wonder if you are fit to be in your current position.” Li Qingzhu was obviously pressurizing him with his status. After saying that, he hung up immediately without waiting for the headmaster’s reply. He believed that the headmaster would be able to weigh the pros and cons, and settle this matter accordingly. How can a small bumpkin even think of comparing themselves with our Cheng Cheng? He should look at himself in the mirror!

Li Qingzhu had just risen from his chair and was about to pick up his grandson, when the phone on his desk rang again.

He did not pay much attention and assumed that it was Headmaster Dong. Thus, he swiftly picked up the phone and yelled, “You’ve made up your mind, right? Fire him as soon as possible!”

“Deputy Minister Li.” A familiar chuckle echoed from the receiver. Every word that the caller spoke sounded extremely threatening, like an insurmountable pressure weighing on one’s shoulder, “Who are you thinking of firing?”

Li Qingzhu’s eyes trembled all of a sudden, his voice turned unsteady as he stammered, “Tang, Master Tang…”

“Heh.” The man indifferently propped his slender legs on the desk, as the abnormally sharp rays of light that were shining through the large French windows fell on his boots.. Then, he asked casually, “I just received some information about your corruption from the Jue Wei Group today. I was going to take action in two to three days, but your attitude makes me want to expedite your case.”

Li Qingzhu’s lips paled as he muttered, “N-No, Master Tang, please hear me out. I thought you were…”

“You thought it was Headmaster Dong that was calling?” The man interrupted his stuttering, as he fidgeted a long cigarette with his fingers. A smile was on his face, but his eyes were freezing cold as he continued, “Li Qingzhu, don’t you know that little Helian Qingchen is under the protection of Tang Sect? Oh right, you really don’t seem to know. But that’s ok, at least I know that your grandson frequently calls him a bumpkin and you asked Headmaster Dong to expel him.”

This news was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!

Li Qingzhu fell weakly back into his wooden chair in shock. When he looked up again, someone had already handcuffed him.

He had always known that those who were targeted by the Tang Sect would meet a miserable outcome.

However, he did not know that those who provoked His Highness would basically be wiped out.

Back in the office, the man tilted his head and lit a cigarette. Then, he instructed the person beside him with a smile, “Give my reply to Chairman Jue, tell him that I hope our future collaborations can be as pleasant. Also, please tell him that it’s impossible to avoid love rivals at a class reunion…”

When a fox met a devil, the levels of duplicity would be doubled.

When Baili Jia Jue read the message that he received on his mobile phone, he raised his brows curiously when he saw the words ‘love rival.’

“Why aren’t you eating?” Helian Wei Wei was still peeling crayfishes diligently when she saw that His Highness had stopped eating, his handsome face slightly cold.

Baili Jia Jue merely smiled and held Helian Wei Wei’s hand. Then, he opened his mouth and ate the crayfish, replying softly, “It’s nothing. I was just worried you would be tired from all the peeling.”

“I’m not tired!” Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice and spoke in his ear, “This is what a mercenary tycoon should do! However, can you just eat those on your plate and stop eating from my fingers? My classmates are watching, that’s not very appropriate.”

Baili Jia Jue could almost see her wagging tail. It was actually a wonderful thing to see his little Phoenix becoming confused about her various roles…

“Here’s to you, Wei Wei.” Xiao Zifeng stood up from the chair. He was extremely handsome, and even his posture was eye-catching. Besides, his smile was very gentle, while his deep charming eyes seemed bottomless and brimmed with emotions. Sweetly, he said to her, “If someone treats you poorly in the future, you can always turn to me.”

Helia Wei Wei slightly choked on the crawfish in her mouth. Why does the toast sound slightly odd?

Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei could still feel his kindness. Thus, she stood up, raised her goblet, and was about to speak…

Suddenly, someone put his arms over her shoulders. It was none other than her possessive husband, Baili Jia Jue. His smile was unchanged and he remained graceful as he uttered, “Wei Wei does not need to toast to that because she will never have to turn to you.”

“Really?” Xiao Zifeng looked up with a slight smile, as he replied meaningfully, “There are always circumstances in the world that are beyond our control. Anyway, congratulations, Chairman Jue, for being so fortunate.”

Baili Jia Jue smirked evilly and replied, “Compared to those who failed to obtain what they longed for, I am indeed very fortunate.”

Xiao Zifeng’s fingers tightened slightly, but he did not say more. His Highness’ comment was too ruthless!

Helian Wei Wei was really puzzled by their conversation. Needless to say, she was quite slow-witted in certain aspects.

“I have always felt that Handsome Xiao speaks strangely,” Helian Wei Wei whispered to His Highness when they sat down. No matter how dense she was, she could still read people’s expressions.

The two little ones were utterly dumbfounded… Please don’t insult the skill of reading people by saying that!

No matter what, once you mention the person’s name, father will definitely fly off the handle and go berserk!
