Chapter 79: The Person Who Is a Match Is CEO Chu

~8 min read 1,533 words

Half an hour later.

The originally neat and clean CEO's office was in a state of chaos.

Chu Li and Wen Lvzhong were lying on the floor, both of their handsome faces bruised.

Wen Lvzhong was the first to crawl up from the floor; he straightened his clothes and looked down at Chu Li.

"Chu Li, what I said is harsh, but if you want to spend your life with Qin Xingwan, you have to change your temper and your mindset."

"What she needs is the respect of a lover, not harm."

"As for Ping'an, if you are willing, it is I, Wen Lvzhong, who owes you a favor; if you are not willing, I will not force you."

Having said what needed to be said, he strode away.

The people in the assistant's office immediately lowered their heads and pretended to work.

The commotion inside just now was simply too loud for them not to pay attention.

At this moment, through the half-open door, they could see their usually high-and-mighty CEO lying on the floor...

"None of you want to keep your jobs, do you?" Assistant Wu scolded in a low voice and went over to close the door.

Chu Li kept staring at the ceiling.

His mind was filled with the words Wen Lvzhong had used to scold him.

Saying he didn't know how to properly like someone...

Saying he was forcing things...

But how could there be a "proper" way to like someone?

He was determined to force it.

After lying there for over ten minutes, he got up from the floor and told Assistant Wu to arrange for someone to clean the office.

He himself took his car keys and left.

Assistant Wu followed behind and said in a low voice, "The person Miss Qin went to meet today was arranged by Miss Cheng; he is a hoodlum."

The purpose, of course, was to humiliate Qin Xingwan.

At first, the plan was actually to have the hoodlum pose as a wealthy man to seduce Qin Xingwan, but Qin Jianguo suddenly changed his mind, catching Cheng Mingzhu off guard, so she could only hurriedly have the hoodlum go in.

Assistant Wu could no longer fathom Chu Li's intentions, so he could only ask, "Then how would you like to handle this?"

Handle it?

Chu Li sneered: "Assistant Wu, are you very free? You're meddling in irrelevant matters? Do you want me to change your position?"

Assistant Wu hurriedly admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong."

After that, he never mentioned Qin Xingwan again.

Chu Li went to a gathering with friends.

He was in a bad mood and sat to the side with a cold face the entire time.

After Cheng Mingzhu arrived, she immediately sat by his side.

The two families intended to marry into each other, and their relationship was no secret.

Some people praised them as a talented man and a beautiful woman, saying they should have been together long ago.

Cheng Mingzhu felt sweet inside, but Chu Li's expression remained indifferent.

"A Li, do you have something on your mind?" Cheng Mingzhu asked softly.

Chu Li turned his head to look at her, his lips curled with coldness.

Cheng Mingzhu didn't dare to speak anymore.

By the time it ended, Chu Li's attitude remained lukewarm.

Cheng Mingzhu felt a bit aggrieved and followed behind him.

"A Li," she called out.

"Miss Cheng, save me." A shrill male voice rang out.

Cheng Mingzhu looked back, her expression changing slightly.

The person who came was none other than the blind date she had arranged for Qin Xingwan—a packaged hoodlum.

She gritted her teeth and said nothing, pretending not to hear.

But the person was already before her, bruised and swollen, clearly having been beaten severely.

"Miss Cheng..." His voice suddenly stopped, his eyes looking at Chu Li in terror, "CEO Chu."

Cheng Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat; she knew that Chu Li was aware of her arrangement.

He had beaten the man up and then dragged him over to present him to her.

"A Li." She wanted to explain.

Chu Li had already gotten into the car.

The car window rolled down, revealing half of his cold, stern face.

"Cheng Mingzhu, things shouldn't happen more than three times; if there is a next time, the marriage alliance is canceled."

Having dropped the warning, the car drove away.

Cheng Mingzhu's face turned red and then white.

Qin Xingwan waited in the Yiyuan for a long time before Wen Lvzhong returned.

She was pleasantly surprised and about to ask, but saw the injuries on his face.

"What happened?"

Wen Lvzhong only said he had taken a fall.

Qin Xingwan hurriedly asked for information about that person.

Wen Lvzhong lied, saying he didn't know the other party's identity and had already asked the doctor to help contact them.

Qin Xingwan knows the rules; a successful match does not necessarily mean the other party is willing to donate, and as long as the other party is unwilling, the Yiyuan cannot disclose their information.

She can only pray that the other party is a good person.

Wen Lvzhong went to treat his wounds first, but when he reached the door, he stopped and said softly, "I will find a way for Ping'an's illness; you just need to help me take good care of him at the Yiyuan."

Qin Xingwan knew this was his way of showing concern, so she replied, "Okay."

After the hospital room door closed, Qin Xingwan sat by the hospital bed.

She thought, if Wen Lvzhong had a way, he would have had it long ago; why would he have returned to the country and waited until now?

It was nothing more than to comfort her.

Now, the two of them can only encourage each other for the sake of Ping'an's illness.

For two days in a row, there has been no news from the person who matched successfully.

And none of the three people from the Qin Family were a successful match.

Qin Xingwan was unable to sleep all night.

At the mere thought of being only a thin line away from hope, she tossed and turned, unable to find peace.

Waking up in the morning, she saw in the mirror that her dark circles had deepened.

After considering it, she went to find the doctor and asked about the person who matched.

She thought, one more person means one more source of strength.

The doctor was somewhat surprised, "The person who matched is President Chu; did Mr. Wen not tell you?"

Qin Xingwan was stunned; the person who matched was Chu Li?

She thought of the wounds on Wen Lvzhong's face, which were clearly from being beaten.

So, he had gone to find Chu Li.

"I don't know how the communication between Mr. Wen and President Chu went, but in any case, we still need to speed things up," the doctor advised, "After all, the surgery isn't something that can be done the moment you want it to be."

It will still require evaluating each person's physical condition, which will delay things for several more days.

The sooner it is done, the better.

"I understand."

Qin Xingwan returned to the hospital room in a daze.

She was thinking about what to do.

Upon looking up, she saw the haggard Wen Lvzhong.

She pursed her lips, her mouth dry, "That person is Chu Li, right?"

Wen Lvzhong gave a bitter smile, "So you know."

He did not intend to hide it, and he knew it couldn't be kept hidden for long; Chu Li would always find a way to let Qin Xingwan know this information.

He just wanted to keep Qin Xingwan from returning to Chu Li's side.

He tried to persuade her.

"I have always been the one raising Ping'an, I will be responsible for his affairs to the end, and I am already very grateful that you can be here to take care of him."

"As for the matching, it doesn't have to be him; I am looking for other suitable people."

"Ping'an cannot afford to wait."

Qin Xingwan looked at Wen Ping'an, who was playing with a toy on the hospital bed, her eyes grew hot, and she almost shed tears.

When there is clearly hope, she cannot bring herself to turn a blind eye.

"But he is not a good person."

Qin Xingwan did not speak; she leaned down and kissed Wen Ping'an's forehead, saying softly, "Ping'an, be a good boy and listen; Mommy has things to take care of these next few days, I'll come back to keep you company in a while, okay?"

Wen Ping'an was reluctant, but he was a good child and very obedient.

Qin Xingwan almost shed tears again.

"Xingwan." Wen Lvzhong felt terrible.

This truly was a very cruel thing.

"I will go talk to him first; we can discuss other matters when I return."

She turned and left.

Wen Lvzhong thought for a moment and chased after her, "Xingwan, you don't have to force yourself."

Qin Xingwan only waved her hand without looking back.

She was afraid that if she looked back, she would lose her courage.
