Chapter 206: Li Xinyue's Considerations

"Yes, I am Zhou Yue. How are you sitting in Young Master Li's car? Are you..."

Looking at this elegant and stunning woman in the car, Zhou Yue couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of inferiority. By comparison, although she was also wearing expensive designer brands, she felt more like a clown dressed in finery, a hundred thousand miles behind the woman in the car.

"My name is Li Xinyue. Hasn't Li Yongquan mentioned me to you? Besides, this car is not Li Yongquan's; it is a company vehicle from the Li Family Group headquarters. Li Yongquan has been stripped of his status as heir, and all the resources he enjoyed have been cut off—naturally, that includes this car."

Li Xinyue said indifferently, as if she were speaking of a trivial matter.

Glancing at the woman outside the car, Li Xinyue continued: "I know you. You were previously Mr. Lin's wife, but you were unfaithful, cheated during the marriage, and even took the initiative to file for divorce when Mr. Lin's career hit rock bottom, while also making off with most of his assets. Later, in order to cling to power, you first followed Liu Haibo, and then Li Yongquan. To be honest, I don't have any good feelings toward you. Zhou Yue, you blocked my car—what do you want?"

Li Xinyue's voice was not loud, but every word struck Zhou Yue like a whip, making her complexion look even worse.

"Eldest Miss, I am sincere about following Young Master Li; I'm not after his money." Zhou Yue was still trying to defend herself.

"Whether you are sincere or after his money has nothing to do with me. I am asking you now: why did you block my car?" Li Xinyue said coolly.

"I... I originally lived in Shanshui Manor No. 1, but I couldn't get in just now. I wanted to contact Young Master Li but couldn't reach him. When I saw this car, I thought he was sitting inside, which is why I blocked it." Zhou Yue gathered her courage to explain.

"Shanshui Manor is also private property of the Li Family; it is not Li Yongquan's. Before, when he was the heir to the family head, there was no problem with him living here, but now that he isn't, he naturally has to move out. So, I'm sorry, Zhou Yue, you can no longer continue to live here either. I think I've made things clear to you—is there anything else you have to say?" Li Xinyue asked.

"Eldest Miss, I... I understand what you mean, but I... I still have some personal items here. Could I... could I please get them?" Zhou Yue said pitifully.

Upon hearing this, Li Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "Get in."

"Thank you, Eldest Miss!" Hearing Li Xinyue's words, Zhou Yue hurriedly said with gratitude, then carefully walked around the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Li Xinyue's aura was too powerful; she didn't dare to sit in the back.

"You said just now that you called Li Yongquan but couldn't get through?" Li Xinyue asked.

"Yes, I called several times, but he just wouldn't pick up," Zhou Yue said hurriedly, a hint of grievance in her voice.

"That number of his was a public-facing one. He has been acting ostentatiously during this period and has stirred up quite a bit of trouble outside. There's no telling how many people are looking for him, so he stopped using that number long ago. If you want to find him, you can call this number."

As she spoke, Li Xinyue took out paper and a pen from her bag, wrote down a string of numbers, and handed it to Zhou Yue.

"Thank you, Eldest Miss." Zhou Yue took the number, her expression somewhat complex.

"What, you aren't calling him now?" Watching the woman take the number but not take out her phone to dial, a playful smile curled at the corners of Li Xinyue's mouth.

"I... I'll pack my things first, then call him later," Zhou Yue forced a smile and explained.

Li Xinyue knew exactly what was going on, and upon hearing Zhou Yue's words, she didn't take the bait.

She had long held a high position and seen countless people; she had seen many small-minded people like Zhou Yue. This woman was only with Li Yongquan for his money and power. To obtain these, she was even willing to be used by Li Yongquan to help him take revenge on her ex-husband. Such a woman was, in fact, a refined egoist.

Now that Li Yongquan was finished, with no money or power, he was like a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, not even daring to show his face. At a time like this, how could Zhou Yue have the courage to look for him?

However, Li Xinyue did not care what Zhou Yue did. What she cared about was the attitude of that mysterious Mr. Lin.

Meng Ruolan had thrown herself into Mr. Lin's arms; not many people knew about this, but Li Xinyue was definitely one of them.

She was someone who had been influenced by the system, though she herself did not know it. Therefore, in her impression, that Mr. Lin was always a mysterious, powerful big shot with a formidable background. A woman like Meng Ruolan, who had eyes higher than the top of her head, would never let an ordinary man into her sights, but if she followed Mr. Lin, Li Xinyue didn't find it strange at all.

Moreover, she had helped her regain the position of Li Family heir. When Li Xinyue thanked her, she said it was Mr. Lin's intention, so in Li Xinyue's heart, she always felt she owed Mr. Lin a massive favor.

For the past two days, she had been thinking about finding a suitable time to pay a visit and thank Mr. Lin in person.

Under these circumstances, encountering Mr. Lin's ex-wife, Zhou Yue, Li Xinyue naturally wouldn't have a pleasant look on her face.

She knew exactly what this woman had done. In Li Xinyue's view, for daring to treat Mr. Lin that way, she should be severely dealt with. But thinking about how Mr. Lin handled Li Yongquan and Zhou Yue made Li Xinyue unable to make up her mind.

Mr. Lin had Meng Ruolan strip Li Yongquan of everything and reduce him directly to an ordinary person, but he had done nothing to his ex-wife. It was precisely because of this that Li Xinyue hadn't done anything to Zhou Yue.

The car drove into Shanshui Manor. Li Xinyue got out and instructed the driver, Lao Liu: "Help her pack her things, then send her back."

"Very well, Eldest Miss," driver Lao Liu said with his head bowed respectfully.

He knew in his heart that when the Eldest Miss said to help Zhou Yue pack, she was actually keeping an eye on her so she wouldn't take things she shouldn't.

This Shanshui Manor property was worth over two hundred million; the antiques, paintings, jewelry, and jade inside alone were worth tens of millions—how could Zhou Yue be allowed to just take them?

Sure enough, with Lao Liu watching from behind, even if Zhou Yue had harbored such small thoughts earlier, she could now only obediently pack a few of her own clothes, bags, and jewelry into a small suitcase.

Before leaving, Zhou Yue took one last look at this magnificent mansion, a strong sense of loss welling up in her heart!

Having tasted the flavor of a top-tier luxury mansion, now, having to go back to living in that kind of ordinary residential building was simply a painful torture for her!

But she also knew that everything here no longer belonged to her.

Even if she was unwilling, Zhou Yue could only drag her suitcase and leave this mansion of her dreams, step by step!
