Chapter 1591: Chapter 922:

Luo Ye refused without even thinking, causing Liang Linqing’s face to stiffen, then he laughed: "Chairman Luo, I’m not a toad wanting to eat swan meat, I really want to seek your advice on something."

"As a veteran in this industry, surely you wouldn’t deny me this bit of face, right? By the way, if Chairman Luo is willing, when there’s time, I can invite Director Liu from the health department to join us."

"In our dining and entertainment industry, dealing with these immortals is essential. I know, for Chairman Luo to achieve today’s scale, your connections must indeed be vast."

"However, Minister Lin is my cousin. In our industry, mutual aid is necessary to go further, Chairman Luo, do you agree with me?"

"Wen Jie..." Before Luo Ye could respond, Li Xiaoyan looked angrily at Wen Jie, "You’re my best friend, that’s why I invited you to dinner." The implication being that Wen Jie should manage her younger brother-in-law.

"Chairman Luo, I’m sorry..." Wen Jie quickly stood up and bowed to Luo Ye, "I apologize on behalf of Lin Qing. He’s young and successful, so his temper can be straightforward, please don’t take it to heart."

"Let this meal be on us, although it’s Xiaoyan’s benefit, none of us are Xiaoyan’s relatives, so freeloading here is really inappropriate."

"Yes, yes, let me treat you." Liang Linqing quickly chimed in.

Li Xiaoyan’s gaze turned cold. Now, she was quite certain that Wen Jie knew the reason they broke off relations years ago.

However, she didn’t quite understand why if Wen Jie was still wary of her, she would just greet her briefly at the hotel entrance and not go into deeper conversation.

Though clearly guarding against her, why act as if she misses her and cares for her?

And now, Wen Jie and Liang Linqing’s actions were undermining her dignity. Liang Linqing was able to open a medium-level hotel in Sha City, so how could he not realize they were not in the same league as Liangyou?

Using the minister to press on Luo Ye was utterly futile, yet he still did it, which could only mean one thing—Wen Jie instigated it!

And the sole objective was to make her lose face in front of her boss!

"Enough!" Liang Linsheng stood up, apologetically bowing to Luo Ye and Qu Yue, "My brother and my wife were being inconsiderate, please be magnanimous, I’m taking them away now." He then turned to Li Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, I’m sorry."

"Liang Linsheng, who do you think you are?" Wen Jie’s face turned fierce.

"Stop making a fuss, will you?" Liang Linsheng looked at her with disappointment, "All these years, haven’t you gotten tired of acting? I just don’t get it, we’ve been married for so many years, what are you still so hung up on?"

"Xiaoqing, and you, you’re all grown up. Why are you getting mixed up in your sister-in-law’s antics? Is it fun?"

"Hey, could you handle your family affairs at home, please?"

At this point in the conversation, everyone present obviously knew what Wen Jie was up to, so Luo Ye outright issued an eviction order.

She’s the boss, she’s entitled! Li Xiaoyan is her employee, if she doesn’t protect her, should she appease an unreasonable jealous woman?

What is going on today, everyone’s soaked in jealousy? First Jiang Yang, then Wen Jie, familiar and unfamiliar faces alike getting involved, is today a bad day?

Li Xiaoyan gratefully looked at Luo Ye, hesitated slightly, then said, "Chairman Luo, may I say a few words?"

Luo Ye nodded: "Of course."

"Wen Jie, to be honest, up until this moment, I always considered you my best friend, regardless of whether we kept in touch, that’s what I thought."

"Even after meeting you, despite having some doubts, I chose to trust you, but just now I suddenly realized."

"All along, you’ve regarded me as an imaginary enemy, at the hotel entrance, your enthusiasm was merely to completely dispel your sense of crisis."

"I believe if it weren’t for inviting you to Liangyou today, you wouldn’t have torn off your mask so soon, because you know full well that if Chairman Luo didn’t value me, she certainly wouldn’t appear in this room."

"Thus, your goal was to make Chairman Luo despise me. Wen Jie, is it really necessary? If I truly had any thoughts on Liang Linsheng, would it only have occurred to me today?"

"By saying this now, I want to tell you, from now on, we don’t know each other, and rest assured, even if I, Li Xiaoyan, remain single for life, I won’t compete with you for a husband!"
