Chapter 19
President Li’s Eyes Will Always Be Blind
“Believe? Of course, I believe,” Shen Ning crossed her arms, mocking him. “President Li has a firm and ruthless approach, wielding great power and displaying a cold indifference. I have firsthand experience of it. However, President Li, is it your usual practice to pass judgment without seeking the reasons behind it?”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“What do I mean?” Shen Ning raised an eyebrow. “I can’t quite tell if President Li is intentionally feigning ignorance or genuinely clueless. Let me ask you this: before I struck her, did you know what she had done to me?”
Li Zhen Ting fell silent and abruptly pushed Shen Mei away, his intense gaze scrutinizing her.
Shen Mei panicked and immediately began tearfully explaining, “Zhenting, early this morning, she instructed the secretary to destroy all the perfumes in the warehouse that I had already planned to sell. I got angry and said a few things to her, and she came after me, hitting me.”
She depicted herself as pitiable, tears streaming down her face, appearing thoroughly miserable.
Li Zhenting’s piercing gaze narrowed, gleaming with a cold light.
“President Li, you’d better ask Secretary Li first. She was present the entire time,” Shen Ning interjected with a cold tone.
Secretary Li, who had been standing dumbfounded on the side, was terrified by the scene. Confronted with Li Zhenting’s icy gaze, she trembled in fear.
“Speak,” Li Zhen Ting demanded in a low voice.
Secretary Li opened her mouth to speak, but as she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Mei giving her a stern warning look, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.
Recently, there had been rumors in the company about Li Zhenting intending to marry General Manager Shen. How could she offend the future Mrs. Li? Moreover, she had long been Shen Mei’s confidante.
“President Li, what Miss Shen said is true,” Secretary Li cleared her throat and replied in a low voice.
Li Zhenting’s face turned fearsome.
“Zhen Ting, please send my sister away. Six years ago, you divorced her, and she has held a grudge ever since. It’s evident that she has returned for revenge, targeting me at every turn. It’s either insults or physical violence. If you don’t drive her away soon, she will kill me.”
“Furthermore, I’ve sent someone to the United States to investigate. Miss Daisy is the only daughter of wealthy overseas Chinese businessman Lin Zhen Chun, while my sister is just a destitute refugee. There have been sightings of her begging on the streets. She’s clearly an imposter, assuming the identity of someone else’s wealthy daughter. Don’t let her deceive you.” Shen Mei’s half-exposed chest almost clung to Li Zhen Ting’s arm as she pitifully voiced her complaint.
The icy glimmer in Li Zhen Ting’s gaze grew more intense.
In fact, he had dispatched people to investigate Shen Ning’s life over the past six years. However, there was no record or information available about Shen Ning whatsoever. It was a complete blank. On the other hand, Daisy Miss was indeed Lin Zhen Chun’s daughter, a globally renowned perfume expert.
As for whether Miss Daisy was actually Shen Ning, they bore some resemblance in the photos, but that was the extent of it. Everything else required further confirmation.
Moreover, Shen Ning and Miss Daisy hailed from drastically different backgrounds. It was inconceivable that they could be the same person!
“Shen Ning, if you’re intentionally causing trouble, I advise you to leave immediately. Considering our past as a married couple, I will let you go. However, if you persist in causing disruptions, I can have you sent to jail within minutes. Don’t forget, this is the Imperial Capital, my territory, not the United States. With a single word from me, you won’t be able to stay here,” Li Zhenting’s voice was low, but his intimidation was profound.
Shen Ning listened with a derisive smile. “President Li’s eyes will forever remain blind. Guess you didn’t managed to treat your injured eyes.”
Li Zhen Ting’s body trembled, and he immediately blurted out, “What do you mean by that?”
“No meaning,” Shen Ning replied icily. “President Li, our collaboration has become too difficult to continue. Please find someone more suitable. I can’t endure it any longer.”
She turned and walked away.
Suddenly, Li Zhenting rushed forward and forcefully grabbed her arm, pressing her against the wall.
Shen Ning felt a sharp pain in her back, causing her face to contort.
She glared at him with fury in her eyes.
