Chapter 1136
Immunity is the defense mechanism of the human body. When the immunity was weak, once a virus or toxin invaded, the human could not resist at all.
Although Ken Swanson did not know medicine, he still knew this common sense.
“He’s simply extremely vicious!”
Melody Fox’s expression was also gloomy.
“Just like Silverlake at the youth center, he did not hesitate to sacrifice countless innocent lives to get rid of someone.” “I’m afraid none of these people are innocent in his eyes tonight. Those who can attend the cocktail party today have their own places in Insterimond. As long as he controls this group of people, he won’t need to spend any effort to rope anyone in.”
As they were talking, Ken Swanson suddenly said, “Not good.”
“What happened?”
“Fu is here tonight.”
Melody Fox knew that Old Fu was also one of Ken Swanson’s subordinates.
However, his job was different from Aaron Berg’s. He was in charge of Ximber Tech’s headquarters and was the vice president of Ximber Tech. He was closer to James Deeds’s work direction.
However, because the outside world did not know that Ken Swanson was Ximber Tech’s boss, the two of them would pretend to be strangers even if they saw each other at night.
Melody Fox looked around and found Vice President Fu, who was talking to a middle-aged man.
From the looks of it, Vice President Fu had already drunk most of the champagne.
“Don’t worry, I have the antidote. With the antidote and acupuncture, the poison will be cleansed.”
Melody Fox said, “It’s not convenient for you to talk to Old Fu. I’ll go. Tell him to try not to drink it in the future. If he consumes too much poison, even with the antidote, it will be very painful to perform acupuncture.”
“I’ll have to trouble you again. Why don’t you teach me how to learn traditional medicine so that I can help you?”
“What are you talking about? Everyone has their own area of expertise. I’m not good at the area you’re good at at all. So don’t think too much. I’m going.”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox gave Ken Swanson a reassuring look and walked towards Old Fu.
On Old Fu’s side.
The person who spoke to him was none other than Cai Lele’s father, Cai Qishui.
Cai Qishui greeted Old Fu respectfully and explained his purpose for coming.
“President Fu, we’re old friends. Can we discuss the price of the chip?”
Old Fu’s smile faded a little.
“Lao Cai, haven’t we already agreed on the price? The company’s lawyer is already drafting the contract. If you make a scene now… aren’t you making things difficult for me?”
Cai Qishui said fearfully, “Vice President, don’t misunderstand. I don’t want to make things difficult for you.
I just want to discuss with you if we can lower the price a little. Our profits are too low. If you can lower the price of the chip, we can work together in the future. Everything can be discussed.”
Old Fu was not so easy to talk to.
He said with a serious expression, “Lao Cai, this isn’t the first time we’ve worked together. You should know that the price I’ve given you has always been very fair. If you don’t want to work with us, Ximber Tech, just say it. There are a lot of people outside who want to work with us.”
Cai Qishui was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
“Of course I sincerely want to work with you.”
“In that case, don’t mention the price again. Our price is very cheap compared to others.”
“Of course, of course. I know you’ve always taken good care of us, President Fu. I knew I shouldn’t have mentioned this, but… one of my brothers…”
As he spoke, Old Fu’s eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
He saw Melody Fox walking straight towards him.
What was going on? Didn’t they say that they had to pretend not to know each other outside?
Why did Madam seem to be coming for him?
If the chairman’s identity was known, it would cause a huge commotion.
In his panic, Old Fu’s gaze found Ken Swanson standing in the pool.
He looked into the distance and saw Ken Swanson nod at him.
Only then did Old Fu relax.
It seemed that Madam had something to tell him on behalf of the chairman.
Cai Qishui was about to act pitiful for the Yu Family when he saw Old Fu looking elsewhere.
He followed Fu’s gaze and saw a woman with red spots on her face walking over.
Cai Qishui subconsciously frowned when he saw the woman’s face.
However, although the other party’s appearance was ugly, his aura was filled with elegance and nobility. The smile on his face was even more impeccable, making it impossible. to find a reason to hate her.
Moreover, her eyes were very clear and beautiful. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as pleasing to the eye.
Unfortunately, the red spots on her face completely cut her off from the word “beauty.”
And the woman was clearly coming for them.
Cai Qishui did not know the other party’s identity, so he temporarily stopped talking.
Finally, the woman reached them.
Old Fu was the first to speak. After calling Melody Fox Miss Fox”, he asked, “Why are you here?”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “No, I just saw you, so I came to say hello.”
Without waiting for Old Fu to speak, Melody Fox directly took the wine glass from Old Fu’s hand and said, “Old Fu, you already have high blood pressure. Don’t touch alcohol.” Old Fu was dumbfounded.
He didn’t have high blood pressure.
However, since Melody Fox had said so, he naturally followed Melody Fox’s words.
“Yes, I won’t drink anymore. Hehe, thank you for your reminder.”
“Yes, it’s best to drink less beverages. I know a little about medicine. These things are not good for your health.”
“Yes, okay. I’ll remember that.”
Melody Fox nodded and put the wine glass aside, but he
did not leave. He just stood beside Old Fu.
At this moment, Old Fu was even more confused.
Cai Qishui asked, “President Fu, who is this?”
“This is…”
Just as Old Fu was worrying about how to introduce Melody Fox, he heard a male voice.
“Melody Fox, why are you here? Come with me!”
Melody Fox turned around and saw Yu Leyou walking over quickly to take her away.
Melody Fox quickly turned sideways to avoid Yu Leyou’s outstretched hand.
Yu Leyou’s movements paused for a moment. He frowned and said to Melody Fox, “This is not a place for you to stay.
Melody Fox’s eyes were filled with mockery.
“What? Did you think I slipped in again? I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood again. I came in openly with an invitation. I can stand wherever I want.”
“You-“
“Little You, what are you doing? Do you know this lady? I’m talking to our partner. It’s not too late to talk later.”
Yu Leyou thought to himself that it was precisely because he knew that they were discussing important matters that he could not let Melody Fox cause trouble here.
He clenched his fists and said to Cai Qishui, “I’m sorry. She’s a friend of mine. I’m sorry to disturb you, Uncle Cai. I’ll take her away now so that she won’t disturb you again.”
As Yu Leyou spoke, he bowed apologetically to Old Fu.
Chapter 1137
Old Fu was baffled.
What kind of person was she? How could she say that about their CEO’s wife?
Yu Leyou said coldly to Melody Fox, “Melody Fox, follow me. Now!”
As early as Fox, when Yu Leyou discovered that Melody Fox had walked over to Cai Qishui’s side, he had already made a bad guess about Melody Fox.
She must have known that she and Uncle Cai had
something important to discuss with the person-in-charge of Ximber Tech today, so she deliberately came over to cause trouble.
Although they did not know how Melody Fox knew about this, this cooperation concerned the survival of their family. They could not let Melody Fox mess it up.
“Let’s go!”
Melody Fox laughed mockingly.
“Yu Leyou, what’s wrong with you?”
She just wanted to stand here and wait for Old Fu to finish talking. Then, she would tell him that there was something wrong with the wine there and that he should stop touching
it.
In the end, Yu Leyou acted like a lunatic and insisted on chasing her away.
She was not a soft persimmon that could be easily squashed by others. She stared coldly back at Yu Leyou.
“You’re the one who should go, not me.”
“You…” Yu Leyou was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
However, when he thought about how the person in charge of Ximber Tech was right in front of him, he could only suppress his anger. He did not say much to Melody Fox and went forward to pull her again.
However, this time, before Melody Fox could dodge, Old Fu took a step forward and stood in front of Yu Leyou.
“What do you want?”
Yu Leyou saw the anger on the other party’s face and thought that he and Melody Fox had angered him. He hurriedly apologized and promised, “I’m sorry. It’s all our fault. I’ll take her away now. Melody Fox, follow me!” “How can you just call Miss Fox by his name?”
Old Fu was really angry.
What the heck? He wanted to chase Miss Fox away time and time again? He should take a look at his own identity!
It was obvious that this young man was with Cai Qishui. He had a favor to ask of Ximber Tech, but he still dared to treat Miss Fox like this! He was simply crazy!
Yu Leyou was stunned and asked in confusion, “W-What do you mean by that…?”
“Xiao You, stop talking! Apologize to this lady!” Cai Qishui urged.
Even though Yu Leyou was stubborn, he could tell that the person in charge knew Melody Fox.
‘But… how?’
Wasn’t Melody Fox the poor orphan girl who was chased out of the house?
How could he know the person-in-charge of Ximber Tech?
However, before Yu Leyou could figure out what was going on, Cai Qishui urged again, “Aren’t you going to apologize to President Fu? What are you thinking? Don’t you want this collaboration anymore?”
Cai Qishui was also annoyed. He did not understand why Yu Leyouping, who was a smart person, would act so foolishly today.
Yu Leyou gritted his teeth and finally apologized.
“I’m sorry, President Fu.”
Old Fu said coldly, “I’m not the one you want to apologize to. It’s Miss Fox!”
The corner of Yu Leyou’s mouth twitched, and he said with some difficulty, “I-I’m sorry.”
Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “If it’s not a sincere apology, it’s no different from not saying anything. However, this time, you have to pay the price for angering me again.”
Yu Leyou was shocked.
“What are you doing?”
Melody Fox didn’t look at Yu Leyou and directly said to Old Fu, “Are we discussing a collaboration with them?”
“Yes, Miss Fox.”
“Cancel the collaboration and never have any collaboration with them again.”
Old Fu nodded without hesitation. “Yes!”
Yu Leyou’s eyes widened.
How could this be…
Why did the person-in-charge of Ximber Tech listen to Melody Fox so much?
As soon as the question popped up, Melody Fox already understood his expression.
She let out a cold snort from the tip of her nose and said, ” You must be very curious why Old Fu listens to me so much. Then I’ll tell you! Because I’m his immediate superior.”
Yu Leyou’s eyes widened even more, and he blurted out subconsciously, “That’s impossible.”
“Why not?” Old Fu’s expression became uglier and uglier. Miss Fox is my superior. In the company, she has more say than me. Since Miss Fox said that he won’t work with you anymore, forgive me for canceling the cooperation.”
In any case, there were countless companies that wanted to collaborate with Ximber Tech. It did not matter if this one was missing.
What’s more, it was because he looked familiar that the price of the chip was lower. If he cooperated with other companies, the profits would be greater.
Cai Qishui immediately panicked.
“No… President Fu, don’t be like this. No, Miss Fox, it’s all Xiaoyou’s fault. He’s young and insensible. Don’t lower yourself to her level. You’re a magnanimous person, so please let him off this time! Xiaoyou, what are you waiting for? Apologize quickly!”
This was a matter of cooperation. No matter how shocked Yu Leyou was, he couldn’t care less. He said, “I’m sorry, Melody Fox. I didn’t know…”
“We’re not that close. Please call me Miss Fox.”
“You…”
“What’s wrong? Doctor Yu, don’t you have the least bit of manners?”
Yu Leyou gritted his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Fox. It’s all my fault. I misunderstood you. I thought you were here to… to interfere with us. I didn’t know that you were actually a higher-up of Ximber Tech.”
“Hehe, you’re not wrong about that. I do not want to interfere with your cooperation now. I usually won’t take back what I say. That’s all. You can leave.”
“Don’t…” Cai Qishui hurriedly said, “Miss Fox, please be magnanimous and forgive us! We’ll toast you to apologize!” “No need. I don’t drink.”
“Well…”
Old Fu said, “President Cai, stop talking. Miss Fox has already decided. This matter is settled. We haven’t signed an official contract, so we don’t need to pay you the penalty for breach of contract. Don’t come looking for me again in the future. If you want to blame someone, blame your people for being arrogant and angering Miss Fox.”
Yu Leyou suddenly raised his head.
“Melody Fox, tell me. What do I have to do to make you take back what you just said?”
“You overestimate yourself. No matter what you do, I won’t change my decision. Don’t blame me. I’ve tolerated you for a long time and given you many chances. But you don’t listen every time and only believe in what you decide. In
that case, why should I give you a chance?”
“I…-“
“Old Fu, let’s go!” Melody Fox did not want to say another word to Yu Leyou. He called Old Fu and left.
Yu Leyou subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Spencer, who was beside Melody Fox.
“I’m sorry, our lady doesn’t want to see you.”
“|…—”
“Xiao You, that’s enough!” Cai Qishui interrupted Yu Leyou and said, “Do you still think you haven’t caused enough trouble? Come here! I have something to tell you.”
Yu Leyou had no choice but to look at Melody Fox’s back as he left. He turned around and followed Cai Qishui.
The two of them walked to a secluded place before Cai Qishui spoke.
“Little You, what are you doing? How can you offend the higher-ups of Ximber Tech? If I lose this collaboration, I’ll at most earn a large sum of money, but what about you? What about your family? If you lose this collaboration, your family will have to starve. Do you know that?!”
Chapter 1138
Cai Qishui had expected better from him. His usually kind face was now dyed with a thin layer of anger.
If the Yu Family had not helped them in the past, he really wanted to give Yu Leyou a tight slap.
“Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?!”
Yu Leyou’s hands were tightly clenched into fists.
He was still in shock that Melody Fox was actually Ximber Tech’s higher-ups.
However, no matter how shocked he was, this was the truth.
CEO Fu had said it himself. It was definitely not fake, and there was no need to lie to people like them who were seeking cooperation.
He lowered his head and said with a complicated expression, “I’m sorry, Uncle Cai. I know I was wrong.”
Cai Qishui expected better from him.
“What’s the point of apologizing?”
“Then, then I’ll go look for Melody Fox now.”
As Yu Leyou spoke, he stepped forward to look for Melody Fox.
“Stop right there!”
Cai Qishui stopped him coldly and said, “Miss Fox is in a fit of anger and doesn’t want to see you at all. If you go over now, you’ll only make her angrier.”
Yu Leyou stopped in his tracks and looked at Cai Qishui as he promised, “Then I’ll look for her later. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let this collaboration continue. I won’t drag you down.”
“You? Impossible! You still call her by her full name. It would be strange if you could apologize properly!”
“-“
“Don’t worry about this for now. Tell me honestly, what grudge do you have with her? Only when we’re clear can we discuss what to do next.”
“I… this…”
Cai Qishui was even more furious when he saw Yu Leyou hemming and hawing and refusing to speak.
“What? You still don’t know how to repent? Don’t you know that you’ve caused trouble?”
“I know I’m in trouble…”
“Then tell me honestly what happened between the two of you. Tell me everything and don’t leave out a single word.” Under Cai Qishui’s interrogation, Yu Leyou finally revealed what had happened between them.
Cai Qishui’s expression turned even uglier.
“In other words, you’re courting her, but she didn’t agree, yet you continue to pester her?”
“No, I’m not pestering her. I’m just pursuing her normally.”
“Heh!” Cai Qishui sneered. “Since that’s the case, why are you still entangled with my Lele?”
Yu Leyou’s back stiffened and he quickly explained, “No, I didn’t. I just treat Lele as my younger sister.”
“Be a younger sister? Can’t you tell that she likes you? If you had done this earlier, why didn’t you make yourself clear as Fox? Why did you rush to our house to pick her up at the cocktail party? Are you playing with her feelings?”
“I didn’t, Uncle Cai, I really didn’t!”
“Enough! I don’t want to hear you talk about this anymore. Don’t bother about the collaboration. Go and make things clear to Lele now. Otherwise, our family and yours won’t need to interact anymore.”
Yu Leyou’s face paled.
This consequence was even more serious than losing their cooperation.
His father might beat him to death.
“Uncle Cai…”
Just as he was about to continue explaining, Cai Lele walked over and asked with a dazed expression, “Brother Xiao You, so… you already have someone you like?”
“I…” Yu Leyou opened his mouth, but in the face of the Yu Family’s current situation, he couldn’t give an affirmative
answer.
“Who is the person you like? Is she here today?”
“Lele… I’ll explain this to you later. But believe me, I really don’t have any intention of toying with your feelings.”
“Hmph!” Cai Qishui snorted and said, “Lele, stop talking. Let’s go! I was wrong. Such a person is not worthy of your liking at all! Let’s go!”
Cai Qishui pulled Cai Lele and was about to leave.
However, Cai Lele had a crush on him for so many years. How could she allow it to end just like that?
She broke free from Cai Qishui’s hand and said, “Dad, you go first. I want to talk to Brother Xiao You alone for a while.” “You, you were raised by me, Jin Zunyu. Why do you have to do this?”
If Yu Leyou had a bit of masculinity and a bit of responsibility, he wouldn’t have come to the cocktail party with another woman when he already had someone he liked.
Even if they came, they would tell him in advance.
He was an old fox who had been in the business world for half his life. How could he not know why Yu Leyou was like this?
It was just that the Yu Family was in decline and needed the support of their Cai Family!
He, Cai Qishui, could accept that Yu Leyou did not like his daughter, but he could not accept that his daughter was deceived and used by Yu Leyou!
“Dad, just give me a few minutes of room Fox! Just a few minutes…”
No matter how uncomfortable Cai Qishui felt, he still nodded in the end in the face of his daughter’s plea.
“All right, I’ll give you five minutes. Room Fox. In five minutes, I want to see you back with me.”
“Got it, Dad.”
After Cai Qishui left, Cai Lele looked at Yu Leyou and asked with a complicated expression, “Brother Xiao You, now that my father has left, tell me the truth. Do you really like that woman that much? Do you really not have any feelings for me in your heart?”
Yu Leyou opened his mouth, but Room 1 Fox didn’t know how to respond.
He was very sure that he had no romantic feelings for Cai Lele.
However, if they lost the cooperation with Ximber Tech and the help of the Cai family, their Yu family would really go bankrupt.
Yu Leyou clenched his fists tightly. He already knew what the most important thing now was.
It was not a relationship between a man and a woman, but the prosperity of their family.
“Brother Xiao You, answer me.” Cai Lele was a little anxious. Cai Qishui had only given her Fox rooms for five minutes.
She did not want her years of crush to end in vain. At least, she needed a positive answer before she could completely give up and end this love hidden in her heart.
Girls were all like this. As long as the other party made things clear to her, it wouldn’t be so difficult to end it.
On the other hand, it would be difficult for him to escape under unclear circumstances.
Yu Leyou was in a dilemma before he finally spoke.
“I… actually admire her more than I like her.”
Cai Lele was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up.
She sensed a glimmer of hope from Yu Leyou’s words.
“Then, what about you and me?”
Cai Lele threw caution to the wind and said directly, “I’ve liked you since I was Fox in high school. For so many years, this relationship hasn’t changed. Later on, we worked in different fields, but I still paid attention to you. Looking at you, I guessed what you were doing every day… Brother Xiao You, I really like you. Can you… give me a chance? Perhaps, I’m more suitable for you than that person?” Yu Leyou was a little surprised.
Cai Lele actually liked him for so long?
This really surprised him.
Astonished, Yu Leyou felt less defeated by Melody Fox.
It was undeniable that Cai Lele had given him a lot of confidence as a man.
Chapter 1139
It was also the Fox-year-old Yu Leyou’s first time sizing up Cai Lele like a man.
Cai Lele was wearing exquisite makeup today. Her palm- sized face was slightly healthy and red. Her big watery eyes made me pity her. The off-shoulder gown revealed her smooth skin.
Compared to He Xiangxiang, who pursued him the most in the hospital, she was much more beautiful.
Such a woman was enough to make other men envious.
His Adam’s apple tightened slightly, and he finally broke the silence.
“Alright, let’s try it together.”
“Re-really?!” Cai Lele didn’t have much hope at first, but she didn’t expect Yu Leyou to actually agree!
She was well aware that Yu Leyou’s actions had a lot to do with the Yu Family’s current situation.
Even so, she was still willing to be with Yu Le.
“Yes! Be my girlfriend, Lele.”
“Brother Xiao You!” Cai Lele was so excited that her face turned red. She hugged Yu Leyou uncontrollably.
Yu Leyou subconsciously hugged Cai Lele back.
The scent of her perfume wafted into his nose, making Yu Leyou feel slightly uncomfortable.
However, he still restrained his displeasure and hugged her back
Coincidentally, at Fox, Yu Leyou raised his head and saw Melody Fox looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
His eyes were filled with indescribable mockery
Yu Leyou subconsciously felt a sense of guilt.
He quickly let go of Cai Lele’s hand. After keeping two steps away from Cal Lefe, he said. “But, Lele. I’m afraid your father has some misunderstandings about me…”
Cai Lele, who was immersed in happiness, didn’t know that Yu Leyou was finding an excuse to let go of her. She shook her head and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about him. My father dotes on me the most. As long as I explain to him properly, he will agree to us being together.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to explain it to Uncle Cai. I’m afraid no matter what I say now, it’s wrong with Uncle Cai. I’m lying.”
“I’ll go talk to him now. Brother Xiao You, wait here for my good news.”
“Okay.”
Yu Leyou watched Cai Lele leave, then went to look for traces of Melody Fox.
However, no one knew where Melody Fox went. There was no sign of her at the pool.
Did Melody Fox see what happened just now?
Would she misunderstand him?
Would she be jealous because of this?
If she was jealous, did it mean that she actually had a good impression of him?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Yu Leyou instantly sobered up.
No, he had already agreed to be with Cai Lele. He couldn’t think about Melody Fox anymore.
Yu Leyou rubbed his temples hard and stopped looking for Melody Fox. Instead, he turned his head and looked in Cai Lele’s direction.
Cai Lele was holding Cai Qishui’s hand and acting like a spoiled child. Cai Qishui’s expression was very ugly.
From the looks of it, Cai Qishui would not agree to them being together for a long time.
Yu Leyou regretted telling Cai Qishui the truth.
If he didn’t say that he was pursuing Melody Fox, there wouldn’t be anything after that.
However, it was useless to regret now. He could only pray
in his heart that Cai Lele could convince Cai Qishui.
On the other side.
Melody Fox left Old Fu in a deserted place before getting down to business.
“How much have you had to drink?”
“Not much, just a glass or two, ma’am. Why?”
“Call me Miss Fox outside.”
“Yes. Miss Fox, why are you asking this? I don’t have high blood pressure.”
“I know. It’s because the wine is poisonous.”
“What?!” Old Fu’s eyes widened, and he subconsciously reached for his throat.
Melody Fox grabbed Old Fu’s arm and said, “No need. After it’s over, I’ll expel the poison with acupuncture. Take this medicine first.” As Melody Fox spoke, he handed over a small white pill.
Without any hesitation, Old Fu swallowed the pill.
After swallowing it, she asked, “Is this the antidote?”
“It’s not an antidote. It protects the heart and lungs. It guarantees that the poison won’t invade important internal organs until I force it out of you.”
Old Fu heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Was it done by the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce?”
“No, it’s someone else. As for who it is, you don’t need to
know. Ken Swanson and I will settle it.”
“Yes, I understand. I won’t touch any drinks here after that.”
“Yes, but don’t be too obvious.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“Alright, let’s go back now.”
“Okay.”
“Let’s split up. You go in first.”
“Yes.” Old Fu bowed and walked towards the swimming pool in the backyard.
Melody Fox was not in a hurry to go back because many people at the scene already knew about her relationship with Ken Swanson. If she interacted with Old Fu frequently, it would easily arouse others’ guesses.
Although it would not be so easy for everyone to guess the relationship between Ken Swanson and Ximber Tech, it was better to be cautious.
She looked up at the logo on the wall and planned to go to the washroom before returning to the pool party.
However, just as she was about to enter the washroom, she suddenly felt someone staring at her.
She did not turn around but continued to walk towards the washroom at her original speed.
But as she walked, she quickly texted Ken Swanson on her phone.
In a certain corner.
When the two socialites saw Melody Fox enter the washroom, they started discussing in low voices. They were none other than Cai Lele’s two best friends.
“Are we really going to do this?” Xiao Chen asked nervously. “She’s Ken Swanson’s wife after all. If she finds out that we did it, we might not be able to bear the consequences.” Xiao Li said calmly, “She won’t know. Besides, didn’t I find out? She’s just an abandoned daughter from the countryside. There’s no one to back her up.”
“But Ken Swanson…”
“Ken Swanson definitely doesn’t care much about her. Haven’t you seen her before? With her looks, which normal man would like her? It’s even more impossible for Ken Swanson.”
“But she’s still Ken Swanson’s wife. Even if Ken Swanson wants to save face, she will still investigate, right?”
“That won’t happen! If you put yourself in Ken Swanson’s shoes, you’ll know that he’s definitely unhappy that he was forced to marry an ugly girl from the countryside because of a child betrothal. If he really finds out about us, he might even thank us!”
When Xiao Chen heard this, her nervous heart was slightly appeased.
“Really?”
“Don’t ask. Just tell me if you want to do it or not! If you don’t make a decision soon, she’s going to come out of the bathroom.”
“-“
“Are you sure you don’t want to teach this ugly girl a lesson?”
Xiao Chen gritted her teeth and said, “Alright! We’ll do as you say.”
After the two of them reached a consensus, they walked into the washroom with light footsteps.
Most of the bathroom doors were open. Only one stall was closed.
Obviously, Melody Fox was in this compartment.
Chapter 1140
Standing at the door of the cubicle, Xiao Li, who had been very calm just now, became a little nervous.
However, since she was already here, she could not just leave.
Thinking of Ken Swanson: She Couldn’t Take This Indignation of Being Tainted by a B*tch!
The two of them looked at each other and saw determination in each other’s eyes.
Then, Xiao Li stuck the pen she had just obtained into the stall door.
Seeing that the door was already stuck, Xiao Chen took two steps back and threw the thing in her hand.
The next second, there was a cry of surprise in the cubicle. The two of them held back their laughter and were about to leave when they heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
The two of them subconsciously looked over and saw a pair of high heels being thrown out by the person inside. Before the two of them could react, Melody Fox easily jumped down from the cubicle door.
In her hand was the thing that the two of them had just thrown in a toy snake.
“Well …”
“How could this be…”
The door that was close to six feet was actually flipped out just like that!
However, now was not the time to worry about this. The
two of them turned around and were about to run.
But it was clearly too late.
Melody Fox’s Sweep tripped both of them.
Pain and gasps sounded one after another.
Melody Fox stood in front of the two of them and looked down at them.
“This kind of trick is leftovers from everyone’s primary school days. If you want to play, please play something more advanced. Is it suitable for your age?”
Their expressions changed again and again.
Little Li was the first to react. He gritted his teeth and said, You discovered us long ago. You were pretending to scream just now, weren’t you?!”
If he hadn’t discovered them long ago, how could he have reacted so quickly?
Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “So what if I am? So what if I am not?”
Since he dared to provoke her, he had to think of the consequences.
Xiao Li gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.
What right did such an ugly woman have to marry someone like Ken Swanson?
She quickly got up from the ground and pulled up Xiao Chen, who was already scared out of his wits. “Don’t be afraid of her! She’s just an ugly country girl. What can she do to us?”
Melody Fox also thought of these two people.
It was the two women who stared at her with envy and jealousy after greeting the other guests with Ken Swanson.
“Looks like you guys have investigated my identity very clearly…”
“That’s right! You were abandoned by your family in the countryside when you were young. Because of the betrothal, Ken Swanson had no choice but to marry you for the sake of public opinion. A person like you is not worthy of marrying Ken Swanson. I advise you to take the initiative to divorce Ken Swanson as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won’t have a good time!”
“Stop it.” Xiao Chen tugged at Xiao Li’s skirt to remind her. Let’s apologize and not make a big deal out of it.”
“Why should we be afraid of her?” Xiao Li sneered and said, ” We’re not afraid even if it gets out of hand. Don’t tell me we can’t win against her alone? She’s a jinx who jinxed her own mother to death at birth. Mr. Swanson won’t stand by her… Ah!”
A loud slap sounded, and Xiao Li’s face was slapped to the side.
She covered her face and stared at Melody Fox with wide eyes.
“How dare you hit me?”
“So what if I hit you? I hit you! Who do you think you are? How dare you mention my mother?”
Melody Fox would not be affected by being scolded, but her mother was her bottom line.
Xiao Li was also angry.
“B*tch! How dare you slap me? I’ll beat you to death!”
She screamed and pounced on Melody Fox.
Melody Fox did not treat Xiao Li as an opponent at all. He
easily pressed Xiao Li to the ground with one hand, forcing her to kneel.
“Apologize!”
“Let me go!”
“Apologize!”
Yu Leyou’s voice came from outside the washroom. “What’s going on?”
He had come to the washroom and accidentally heard a commotion next door.
Originally, he did not want to care, but one of the people opposite him sounded like Melody Fox, so his curiosity forced him to come over and confirm.
Unexpectedly, it was really Melody Fox. Moreover, Melody Fox was bullying Cai Lele’s friend.
“Melody Fox, what are you doing? Let go of her!”
Yu Leyou reached out to pull Melody Fox.
Melody Fox did not want to be touched by Yu Leyou, so he let go of Xiao Li first.
“Brother Xiao You…” Xiao Li was no longer as vicious and domineering as before. He said with tears in his eyes, “She bullied us without distinguishing between right and wrong. You have to uphold justice for us.”
Xiao Chen was in a difficult position.
However, under Xiao Li’s gaze, she could only cooperate with him and say, “That’s right, Brother Xiao You. We were just playing in the washroom, and she deleted her slap.”
When Yu Leyou saw that a palm print had indeed appeared on Xiao Li’s face, he immediately frowned and said, ‘ Melody Fox, why are you bullying Lele’s friend?”
“What are you talking about…? Why am I coming after you?” “Stop pretending,” Yu Leyou said firmly. “You just saw me with Lele and felt uncomfortable. So when you saw her friend, you wanted to vent your anger on her friend. Melody Fox, you disappoint me! I really didn’t expect you to be such a person.”
Xiao Li and Xiao Chen looked at each other, confused.
What did Yu Leyou mean by that?
However, no matter what Yu Leyou had misunderstood, as long as Yu Leyou stood on their side, they could continue to pretend to be innocent and let Yu Leyou prove their innocence.
In that case, whether Ken Swanson cared about this ugly woman or not, he would not blame them.
Melody Fox was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but his expression was even calmer than before.
“Yu Leyou, this has nothing to do with you. I’m not bullying them. They brought this upon themselves. If you don’t want to get involved, leave now.”
Yu Leyou stood in front of the two women and said, “Since I saw it, I can’t pretend that nothing happened. You’ve already ruined my cooperation. Why do you still want to do this?”
“I’ve already said that this matter has nothing to do with you. If you insist on getting involved, don’t blame me for not giving you any face.”
Cancellation of cooperation was the lightest punishment.
Yu Leyou let out a bitter laugh and said, “Have you ever given me face? I just don’t understand. You clearly care about me in your heart, so why are you doing this to me? What exactly are you thinking in your heart?”
Yu Leyou, has anyone ever told you that you’re too conceited? I’ve never cared about you. The reason why I’ve been tolerating you before was because you’re Rodney Stanton’s disciple. As for what I’m thinking… what I’m thinking is that I hope you’ll never appear in front of me again to bother me.”
“Alright, since you don’t care about me, why did you bully Lele’s friends? Didn’t you deliberately take it out on them?” “I’m sorry, it’s really not. The reason I did this to them was because they followed me to the bathroom and wanted to lock me in. They even threw a toy snake to scare me.”
Chapter 1141
Melody Fox said as he threw the toy snake into Yu Leyou’s arms.
This toy snake was a prop at today’s pool party. It was made very realistically. If not for the fact that Melody Fox was not afraid of snakes, he might have been shocked.
To Melody Fox, this was a child’s play. However, if it was an ordinary girl, she would probably be scared out of her wits. Just think about it, it was normal for a little girl to cry in fear when she was locked in a cubicle and a “snake” was thrown in.
Even though Yu Leyou was a man, he was still shocked when Melody Fox suddenly threw the toy snake into his arms.
He looked at the toy snake and turned to look at Xiao Chen and Xiao Li.
“Is she telling the truth?”
Xiao Li immediately shook his head and said, “No! She’s lying! I admit that the two of us brought this toy snake in, but we were just playing. It’s not like what she said about tailing her or scaring her with the snake. She was the one who was shocked when she saw it. What has it got to do with us? Why would she slap me? Right, Xiao Chen?”
Xiao Chen nodded stiffly. “Yes… We really didn’t mean to scare her. We don’t know her at all.”
Melody Fox explained for a long time, but Yu Leyou did not listen to a single word. However, when the two of them spoke, he immediately believed their words.
“Melody Fox, what else do you have to say? They don’t know you at all. Why should they scare you? They were just playing by themselves. You were shocked when you saw them. To be honest, it has nothing to do with them. Why do you have to make a fuss?”
Melody Fox’s lips curled into a mocking sneer.
“Birds of the same feather!”
“You-“
Yu Leyou’s expression changed slightly, but he still suppressed his displeasure and continued to persuade Melody Fox, “I think this matter is over. Apologize to the two of them and everyone will take a step back. For our sake, let’s pretend that nothing happened.”
“Heh!” Melody Fox sneered and said speechlessly, “The person who did something wrong doesn’t need to apologize. Instead, it’s me, the victim, who needs to apologize? Yu Leyou, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t know how to speak. No one treats you as a mute!”
“You-” Yu Leyou was fuming again.
He realized that Melody Fox really had the ability to make people vomit blood.
However, Melody Fox was the person he liked after all. He could not watch her continue to be stubborn.
Yu Leyou took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Melody Fox, I’m doing this for your own good. I know that other than being a doctor, you’re also one of Ximber Tech’s higher -ups. But you don’t have any background, and your family won’t help you. But they’re different.”
“Oh? What’s so different about them? Do they have an extra mouth or an extra eye?”
After Melody Fox finished speaking, he looked at the number Fox on his watch impatiently.
Why wasn’t Ken Swanson here yet?
If her “background” didn’t come, she really didn’t have the patience to wait any longer. She wanted to directly teach these people a lesson.
Of course, that included Yu Leyou.
On the other hand, Yu Leyou was still persuading her earnestly.
“Don’t speak so harshly. The biggest difference between them and you is their family background. Even if you don’t admit it, this world is just so unfair. Some people are born superior and have noble statuses.”
“If you think that you can bully them as you please with your status as a higher-up of Ximber Tech, you’re wrong.”
“There are such rules in this world. Noble people are never wrong, whether they’re wrong or not.”
“Compared to them, you’re really too ordinary. If you continue to be stubborn, there’s only one outcome waiting for you. You’ll be beaten back to your original state.”
‘And you don’t want to go back to your old country, I suppose?’
Although Yu Leyou said that he was “convincing her earnestly”, every word he said was filled with belittling and contempt.
The superiority in his bones could not be hidden.
Little Li snorted and said, “Did you hear that? Miss Fox. If you continue to ‘slander’ us, no one will be able to support you. Your family won’t, and neither will Mr. Swanson.”
“Please remember your identity. Even if a sparrow flies to a branch, it can’t become a phoenix. A sparrow will always be a sparrow!”
“People like you, who have no family background, should lower your head and behave. Don’t think about challenging our authority!”
“Even if you rely on Mr. Swanson to become the higher-ups of Ximber Tech, as long as we say the word, you will quickly be beaten back to your original form!”
“So, please apologize to me honestly. Don’t try to hit a rock with an egg. If you really anger me, the consequences will be very serious!”
Yu Leyou frowned and asked Xiao Li in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
Xiao Li asked in confusion, “What did you say?”
“Mr. Swanson… Which Mr. Swanson are you talking about?”
“Young Master the Swanson Group, Ken Swanson.”
Yu Leyou was even more confused.
“What does Ken Swanson have to do with her?”
This time, it was Xiao Li’s turn to be stunned.
“Don’t you know?”
“What should I know?”
Melody Fox laughed. Before Xiao Li could answer, he said, ” I told you long ago that I’m already married. My husband is Ken Swanson.”
“… Cough!” Yu Leyou laughed until he coughed.
He cleared his throat. After a while, he held back his laughter and said, “Melody Fox, are you used to lying? It’s fine if you lied to me, but why did you lie to others? I’m afraid you don’t know what kind of person Ken Swanson is, right? If you pretend to be his wife and let him know, you really can forget about staying in Ximber Tech. You might not even be able to stay in Halcyon.”
Melody Fox shrugged.
“You’re wrong. I’m not lying. Everything I’ve said to you is true.”
Yu Leyou’s smile sank.
“Melody Fox, I think you’re really possessed!”
Melody Fox rolled his eyes.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the two of them. Oh, you don’t have to ask them. Wait a little longer. Ken Swanson will be here soon.”
Fox finally replied to Yu Leyou’s message.
He probably didn’t look at his phone, so he started rushing over.
Presumably, Ken Swanson would be here in less than two minutes.
Since Yu Leyou would not give up until he saw the Yellow River, he would let him see the Yellow River.
“Alright.” Yu Leyou nodded, “Then I’ll wait for him here. However, you’d better think about it. If Ken Swanson finds out that you’re pretending to be his wife, you might not only lose your career and future but also your life! I advise you to think carefully.”
He did not want to end up like this with Melody Fox. However, Melody Fox was too stubborn!
If she had not been taught a harsh lesson, she would not have changed her bad habit of lying casually.
Of course, he would do his best to persuade Ken Swanson not to lower herself to Melody Fox’s level and save her life.
Chapter 1142
Melody Fox was not afraid and laughed instead.
“Have you said enough? Then just wait!”
Yu Leyou’s face was ashen, and there seemed to be a ball of unquenchable depression lingering in his chest.
“Melody Fox, why do you have to be so stubborn? Why would Ken Swanson come to the female washroom for you? Can you wake up?!”
Melody Fox could not be bothered with Yu Leyou anymore. She raised her watch again and looked at the door.
It had only been half a minute since Ken Swanson had sent the message, but the time seemed to have passed exceptionally slowly, which was in the same space as Yu Leyou.
It was only half a minute, but it felt like half a century.
She really admired Yu Leyou. There were very few people who could make her so impatient and impatient.
If Yu Leyou wanted her to remember him, then congratulations to Yu Leyou for succeeding.
She would never forget that there was someone as annoying as Yu Leyou in this world.
“Well…”
Xiao Li could not help but speak.
She and Xiao Chen had seen it with their own eyes. They had personally heard Ken Swanson introduce Melody Fox to his wife, so they firmly believed this.
Ken Swanson was not the kind of person who would make such a joke.
As Xiao Li spoke, Yu Leyou looked over.
“Don’t worry, I’ll uphold justice for you. However, please give me some face and don’t probe too deeply into this matter. I’ll persuade her to apologize to you.”
“No…” Xiao Li hesitated.
Xiao Chen said, “Brother Xiao You, she’s not lying to you. She… is indeed Ken Swanson’s wife.”
Although they did not want to admit it, it was the truth.
“Are you kidding me…?” Yu Leyou shook his head and said, Don’t be fooled by her. She often likes to say these things.” “She didn’t lie to us. We heard it from Ken Swanson himself.” Yu Leyou was still immersed in his own world.
“That might not be the case. In short, the person in front of you can’t be Ken Swanson’s wife.”
Not to mention other family backgrounds, educational backgrounds, and so on, just her looks alone.
There were almost no men like him in the world who didn’t look at faces, let alone Ken Swanson.
Although he did not want to admit that Ken Swanson was much more noble and outstanding than him, this was the truth.
Ken Swanson’s wife could be any socialite, but not Melody Fox.
“Well …”
Xiao Chen and Xiao Li looked at each other.
“Brother Xiao You, we really didn’t get the wrong person. You misunderstood.”
Xiao Li also said, “Although it’s a fact that she’s not worthy of Ken Swanson, she’s already Ken Swanson’s wife. That’s also a fact. But don’t worry. In my opinion, Ken Swanson is only with her because of the pressure of public opinion. He doesn’t really like her, so he married her.”
Yu Leyou was losing his patience.
“Don’t say such impossible things. Let’s end this farce as soon as possible!”
“No, Brother Xiaoyou, what we said is true.”
Yu Leyou’s frown deepened.
Seeing their serious expressions, he could not help but feel a little shaken.
Could it be that… Melody Fox was really Ken Swanson’s wife?
It was also because of this that he became the higher-ups of Ximber Tech?
Otherwise, with Melody Fox’s resume, it would be difficult for him to even enter the bottom level of Ximber Tech, let alone become a higher-up.
However, this thought did not last long before it was denied by Yu Leyou.
How was that possible?
If Melody Fox was really Ken Swanson’s wife, Rodney Stanton would have told him long ago.
“You guys…
Just as Yu Leyou finished speaking, he heard rapid footsteps outside.
It was as if a few people were running over quickly. Melody Fox smiled.
“He’s here.”
Her backer had finally arrived.
The ridiculous farce between Yu Leyou and her was finally about to end.
When Yu Leyou heard the footsteps, he thought that they were guests who were in a hurry to use the washroom.
He said quickly, “Don’t stand here for now. It won’t do any of you any good to let others know that you’re arguing. Let’s leave this place first!”
Xiao Li and Xiao Chen were in the wrong, so they naturally did not want to blow things up to the point where they could not clean it up.
Moreover, they were not sure about Ken Swanson’s attitude towards Melody Fox.
Hence, he immediately nodded.
“Alright, let’s find a quiet place to talk.”
Melody Fox stretched out his long arm and blocked their path.
“Why should we leave? We’re not in a hurry. It’ll be easier to explain things when she’s here.”
“Melody Fox.” Yu Leyou’s gaze darkened. “Where do you think this is? This isn’t a place to cause trouble! Hurry up and leave!”
The footsteps were almost at the door. Yu Leyou anxiously reached out to pull Melody Fox.
Melody Fox subconsciously took two steps back, trying to avoid Yu Leyou’s hand.
However, just as she took a step back, a chest pressed against her back.
She turned her head and finally saw someone familiar. “Ken Swanson?”
Yu Leyou was also stunned.
He never expected that the person who came over would be Ken Swanson!
Could it be that he heard the noise here and came to take a look?
This was bad!
If Ken Swanson found out that Melody Fox was pretending to be his wife, things would really get out of hand.
He had been thinking about Janet Murphy just now, but when he saw Ken Swanson appear in front of him, he still panicked.
Some people seemed to be born with light and aura.
However, Jane Janet Murphy stood there alone. Without saying a word, she was so intimidating that no one dared to make a sound.
This was the first time Yu Leyou had seen Ken Swanson up close since he became an adult.
The young genius of the past had completely grown into a man with a powerful aura.
His gaze was sharp, and wherever his gaze landed, the temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees.
At this moment, Yu Leyou truly felt ashamed of his inferiority.
How could such a person be Melody Fox’s husband?
He came back to his senses and wanted to use his eyes to signal Melody Fox to follow him, but Melody Fox did not look at him at all. Instead, he boldly looked straight at Ken Swanson.
Yu Leyou felt resentful for failing to meet his expectations.
Did this woman know who she was looking at? How dare she…
However, in the next second, something shocking happened.
Ken Swanson reached out and gathered the hair in front of Melody Fox’s forehead. He gently tucked her hair behind her and said apologetically, “I’m sorry I’m late. I didn’t see my phone in Fox.”
“It’s fine. You’re here now, aren’t you? It’s not too late.”
Melody Fox guessed that Ken Swanson did not look at his phone. Otherwise, he would not have taken so long to come.
However, it did not take long. It only took seven to eight minutes.
“!!!”
On the other side, Yu Leyou’s eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out.
‘What’s the situation?’
What was going on with these two people?!
Could it be… Could it be…
Was she really Ken Swanson’s wife?
In Room Fox, Yu Leyou felt as if a tsunami had hit his brain.
All his calm emotions were swept away.
All that was left was disbelief and fear.
Chapter 1143
‘That’s impossible.’
‘I won’t.’
Yu Leyou did not want to believe that Melody Fox was really Ken Swanson’s wife.
The reason why he did that to Melody Fox must be because of Mr. Orek, right?
It had to be!
However, as if to deliberately slap Yu Leyou in the face, Ken Swanson swept his gaze across the three people present and said coldly, “Are you the ones who followed and bullied my wife?”
‘My…
Madam…
Yu Leyou’s face turned completely pale.
No matter how much he wanted to find a reason and excuse, he had to admit that Melody Fox’s husband was indeed Ken Swanson.
She really wasn’t lying to him.
She had always been telling the truth.
He was the one who didn’t want to believe it. He was only immersed in his own world and thought that she was lying.
So… it had always been his wishful thinking?
In Melody Fox’s eyes, did he look like a fool?
Yu Leyou was completely stunned. He stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
Melody Fox naturally noticed Yu Leyou’s expression.
However, he had to settle scores with these two women first. He would settle Yu Leyou’s score later.
She looked at Xiao Li and Xiao Chen and said to Ken Swanson, “These two were the ones who followed me to the bathroom. They stuck the door of the cubicle and threw a toy snake inside.”
Ken Swanson caught a glimpse of the toy snake that Yu Leyou had thrown on the ground. His black eyes flashed with an obvious sharpness and coldness.
Xiao Chen’s heart was more fragile. He immediately fell to the ground under Ken Swanson’s gaze.
On the other hand, Xiao Li was clearly much calmer.
She glanced at the devastated Xiao Chen and cursed in her heart, “Useless.” Then, she met Ken Swanson’s gaze and said, “Mr. Swanson, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t follow her. As for the toy snake, it’s just a small misunderstanding.” “A small misunderstanding?” Ken Swanson repeated Xiao Li’s words. A cold smile appeared on his lips, causing Xiao Li’s forehead to be covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Xiao Li swallowed hard before finding his voice.
“It’s really a misunderstanding, Mr. Swanson. The two of us were playing with the toy snake ourselves. She was shocked when she saw the toy snake. It really has nothing to do with us!”
As Xiao Li spoke, he was afraid that Ken Swanson still didn’t believe her, so he tried to persuade Yu Le, “Brother Xiao You, you know what happened. Please uphold justice for us.” Yu Leyou was so shocked that he could no longer care about Xiao Li and Xiao Chen.
However, when he heard Xiao Li say this, he instinctively said, “Yes, they didn’t do it on purpose.”
Ken Swanson looked up at Yu Leyou as if Fox had just noticed his existence.
Yu Leyou felt frustrated and disappointed. This was the first time he had been ignored like this. He didn’t even have a sense of existence.
Therefore, he added, “As for the so-called stalking, it’s also nonsense. They just happened to come to the washroom and met Melody Fox.”
Even if Melody Fox was Ken Swanson’s wife, he did not believe that Ken Swanson would be so protective of Melody Fox.
However, in the next second, Ken Swanson said lightly,” Whether it’s a coincidence or intentional, what’s the difference?”
Yu Leyou was stunned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
Ken Swanson raised his chin slightly and stood in front of Melody Fox in a protective posture. “It’s wrong for you to scare her. Whether it’s intentional or not, it makes no difference to me. No one can scare my woman. Since you scared her, you should be punished.”
Yu Leyou’s eyes widened.
He could not believe that Ken Swanson had actually protected Melody Fox to such an extent!
Even if Melody Fox was lying, even if this matter had nothing to do with Little Li and Little Chen, Ken Swanson firmly believed that they had frightened Melody Fox and deserved to be punished.
Yu Leyou boasted that no matter how much he liked Melody Fox, he could not do such a thing.
However, he really did not understand why Ken Swanson was so protective of Melody Fox.
‘Just because she’s his wife?’
However, he did not believe that there was love between Ken Swanson and Melody Fox.
Ken Swanson’s taste was naturally many times better than that of ordinary people. Melody Fox was not up to his standards.
In addition to Yu Leyou, Xiao Chen and Xiao Li were also shocked.
Xiao Li was the most shocked.
She never thought that no matter how perfect her explanation was, it was not important to Ken Swanson. As long as Melody Fox was unhappy, she was guilty! ‘How did that happen?’
Could it be that Ken Swanson didn’t marry Melody Fox because he was forced by public opinion, but because he liked her?
No! This was impossible!
She did not want to believe it!
How could her idol be like such an ugly girl from the countryside?
She would not allow it!
Xiao Li said as if he had gone crazy, “Why?! Why didn’t you listen to my explanation?! Why do you have to protect someone like her?!”
Xiao Li was exasperated.
Ken Swanson’s expression became even colder. Similarly, Fox’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent.
No one could say that about Melody Fox.
He narrowed his eagle eyes and could not be bothered to talk nonsense with these people. He directly instructed Aaron Berg, “Go and do it.”
What should he do? Aaron Berg could tell from Ken Swanson’s expression.
“Yes,” Aaron Berg replied. He looked at the two women pitifully and waved his right hand. “Take them away!”
Immediately, the Death Warrior stepped forward and carried Xiao Chen and Xiao Li out.
Xiao Li finally felt panic.
She struggled and shouted, “Let go of me! Where are you taking me?! I’m the daughter of the Li family. You can’t punish me casually! My father is outside. If he finds out, he won’t let you off!”
What right did they have to treat her like this?
How dare he!
Aaron Berg shook his head as if he was looking at a dying person.
He ordered, “Shut her mouth!”
“Yes!”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
In the next moment, Xiao Li’s mouth was stuffed with a rag that came out of nowhere. He could only make a weak sound.
She did not expect them to really dare to treat her like this!
Xiao Li’s eyes widened in horror as he was forcefully dragged out.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he was so frightened that his eyes turned black and he fainted.
“Let’s go.”
Ken Swanson hugged Melody Fox’s waist and said, “If you look at them again, I’m afraid I’ll contaminate your eyes.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. There’s one more thing that I need you to prove to me.”
“Okay, what’s up?”
Xiao Chen and Xiao Li had already been dragged away, leaving only Yu Leyou, an outsider, in the washroom.
Yu Leyou could not help but feel a little reserved. He could roughly guess what Melody Fox was going to say.
Sure enough, the next second, Melody Fox confirmed his guess.
“This person’s name is Yu Leyou. I met him at First Hospital. He’s the director of the Cardiology Department.”
Yu Leyou felt a wave of shame shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He subconsciously said, ” Melody Fox, stop talking.”
“Don’t. How can you not say it? If you don’t make it clear, what if you go back and only believe in what you have decided?”
Chapter 1144
Yu Leyou opened his mouth, but he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
Melody Fox continued, “Doctor Yu, you’ve never believed that I’m married, nor that my marriage partner is you. Help me explain.”
Yu Leyou was Rodney Stanton’s student after all, so Melody Fox didn’t mention that Yu Leyou kept pestering her.
Actually, she was grateful that others had feelings for her. There was nothing wrong with liking someone.
However, she really couldn’t stand someone like Yu Leyou.
If that was not the case, she would not have said all this to Ken Swanson and clarified it in front of Yu Leyou.
Ken Swanson’s gaze fell on Yu Leyou.
Yu Leyou seemed to be covered by an invisible net, and his entire body became very stiff.
However, in the blink of an eye, Ken Swanson looked away and said to Melody Fox, “Looks like we have to hurry up and hold the wedding.”
Ken Swanson’s imagination was going too fast, wasn’t it? Ken Swanson continued, “My wife is so outstanding and so attractive. If I don’t hold a wedding soon, I’ll really feel threatened.”
Brother, can’t you find a good place to say sweet nothings? “I’ve already chosen most of the wedding venues. In the end, you can decide. I don’t want you to be coveted by any man again.”
“…Yes.” Melody Fox’s face was burning.
What she wanted Ken Swanson to say was that they were indeed husband and wife.
However, Ken Swanson went astray.
However, his words seemed to be very effective on Yu Leyou.
No matter how slow, arrogant, and unwilling he was, he had to admit that Ken Swanson’s eyes were filled with love as he looked at Melody Fox.
It was a look that only people who loved each other would have.
What made Yu Leyou even more uncomfortable was that Ken Swanson did not even look him in the eye when he acted on his own accord.
Oh no, he did look at him, but he looked away in a second or two. It seemed that he was not someone worthy of his attention.
This kind of feeling made Yu Leyou feel as if his heart and lungs were being scratched.
However, there was nothing he could do.
The huge difference between the two of them made it impossible for him to treat him like an ordinary person.
Otherwise, what awaited him would be the same fate as Cai Lele’s two friends.
Yu Leyou’s expression changed again and again as if ten thousand ants were biting him in his heart.
In the end, he finally said, “Sorry, I misunderstood you previously.”
“In the future, please don’t think that I’m lying.”
Yu Leyou pursed his lower lip and said, “I won’t.”
She was telling the truth when she said that she was already married to a very, very outstanding person. He had to admit it even if he didn’t want to.
Just like what he had just said to Melody Fox.
Some people were born noble, and Ken Swanson was stronger than him in terms of status and ability.
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief.
After such a long time, Yu Leyou was finally willing to let her go.
Although Yu Leyou didn’t cause her much trouble, it was quite annoying to be pestered time and time again.
It was a waste of Fox units to explain to Yu Leyou every time.
Yu Leyou was not blind. He naturally saw Melody Fox’s relieved expression.
Such a reaction made Yu Leyou feel even more furious and humiliated.
In the past, he thought that he liked Melody Fox, which was a gift to Melody Fox.
But now, the positions of the two were completely reversed.
This was a huge blow to Yu Leyou, who had always been proud.
His self-esteem was shattered at this moment.
Just as Melody Fox was about to leave with Ken Swanson and Fox, Yu Leyou looked at their backs and suddenly couldn’t take it anymore.
“Mr. Swanson, please wait. I have one more thing to say.” Ken Swanson turned around with a cold expression. “Shoot.”
Yu Leyou clenched his fists tightly and said, “I’ve actually interacted with you once a few years ago. Perhaps you’ve forgotten, but I haven’t. I’ve always admired you.”
Ken Swanson frowned.
“Is that all you want to say?”
“No.” Yu Leyou took a deep breath and glanced at Melody Fox. “Because I admire you very much, I want to remind you that your wife is very close to Ou Jing’s Orrick, and she’s not just close to him.”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes.
“Yu Leyou, what do you mean by that?”
Yu Leyou shrugged his shoulders, “I don’t mean anything, I just meant what I said. Since you’re already married to Mr. Swanson, please do your duty as his wife and don’t get too close to other men outside.”
“You…”
Ken Swanson raised his hand to interrupt Melody Fox and looked at Yu Leyou with a faint smile.
“Doctor Yu, you should be glad that I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, just based on your words of slandering my wife just now, you can say goodbye to this world.”
“…” Yu Leyou’s back stiffened. “I’m telling the truth.”
“Heh.” Ken Swanson snorted coldly from the tip of his nose. “Doctor Yu, with your character, don’t continue being a doctor.”
“That’s not what I meant…” Yu Leyou hurriedly explained, his face flushed red.
He was not the kind of person Ken Swanson was talking about.
Destroy everything he couldn’t get…
He simply admired Ken Swanson and did not want him to be deceived by Melody Fox.
The smile on Ken Swanson’s face finally disappeared.
“Doctor Yu, I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that men can’t lie to men. Also, I know better than you what kind of person my wife is. As for Mr. Ou, I was friends with him in my early years. Naturally, I know that the relationship between them is not what you say.”
“-“
Ken Swanson did not want to listen to Yu Leyou slander Melody Fox anymore. He directly interrupted him and said, ” Enjoy your last night of relaxation. Tomorrow, you will pay the price for this.”
Yu Leyou’s expression changed drastically.
“Mr. Swanson, I…”
However, before he could speak, Ken Swanson had already left with Melody Fox in his arms.
Fox, Melody Fox had lost the last bit of pity he had for Yu Leyou.
She thought that Rodney Stanton wouldn’t blame her if he knew the whole story.
“Wait, Mr. Swanson!”
Yu Leyou wanted to chase after him, but he was knocked unconscious by Spencer’s hand chop. He fainted in the washroom.
Spencer glanced at Yu Leyou on the ground in disgust and said, “Throw this thing out of the cocktail party. Remember to throw it far away. Don’t let it pollute Sir and Miss Fox’s eyes again.”
“Yes!”
In the blink of an eye, Yu Leyou was silently thrown out of the banquet.
At the same time, Cai Lele’s two best friends were taken to an empty room in an abandoned factory.
Xiao Chen fainted and woke up again. When he woke up, he cried and fainted again. This cycle repeated repeatedly, and his intestines were almost bruised.
She already had a bad feeling. Why did she still have to scare Melody Fox with her best friend?
Not only did they not vent their anger, but they also forced themselves to a dead end.
Xiao Chen woke up again this time. His expression was dejected, and there was no color on his face.
Chapter 1145
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to many mistakes.
Xiao Chen gave up completely.
His eyes were incomparably empty as if he no longer had any sense of what was happening around him. He was completely numb and in a state of despair.
However, Little Li was still unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle. However, the Death Warrior directly tied her to a chair.
“Let go of me! What are you trying to do? I’m the daughter of the Li Corporation, Li Lingli! If my father finds out, he won’t let you off!”
She did not believe that Ken Swanson would really take her life!
She was not an ordinary person. She was a socialite! And her family background was definitely not ordinary!
If she died, even Ken Swanson would not be able to answer to her family!
Thinking of this, Li Lingli’s panic dissipated.
“I advise you to let me go immediately. Otherwise, all of you will have to bear the consequences! Do you hear me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed heavily on Li Lingli’s face.
The slap was very heavy. Li Lingli felt that her entire face was numb from the slap. Even her teeth showed signs of loosening, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She was shocked and furious.
“Even trash like you dare to hit me?!”
It was one thing for Melody Fox to hit her, but at least she had the title of the Swanson Group Young Madam. But what were these guys?
They were just a few dogs, yet they dared to attack her? “How dare you hit me, Li Lingli? You’re dead!”
However, the next second, another slap landed on her face.
This time, he hit her even harder. One of Li Lingli’s teeth fell to the ground.
She was in so much pain that she could not speak. She sucked in a breath of cold air forcefully.
However, even if she could speak, she did not dare to say anything else. She was afraid that she would be slapped again.
“It’s finally quiet.”
The leader, the Death Warrior, dug his ears and said, “Since it’s quiet, listen to me. Between the two of you, who is the mastermind, and who is the accomplice? Tell me the truth! Otherwise, what awaits you will be a punishment that you can’t imagine. It won’t be just two slaps.”
A glimmer of hope appeared on Xiao Chen’s desperate face. She was just an accessory. Perhaps she could leave this place alive.
At the thought of this, Xiao Chen suddenly looked at Li Lingli and said, “Her! The mastermind is her! I was instigated by her. I didn’t want to do that at first. She was the one who said that she wanted to teach Melody Fox… No, Mr. Swanson Grandma a lesson. She was also the one who found the toy snake and locked the toilet stall door. I didn’t do anything at all. I just followed her. Please, let me off this time. As long as you let me off, I will definitely change my ways in the future. I won’t complain even if I have to work for Mr. Swanson’s Grandma.”
Li Lingli widened her eyes and stared at Xiao Chen.
How dare she betray me! She’s putting all the blame on me! Li Lingli endured the pain angrily and said, “Chen Pan, are you talking nonsense? You were the one who came up with the idea, and you were the one who threw the toy snake! You were the one who found out that Melody Fox had left the pool, so you asked me if I wanted to teach Melody Fox a lesson.”
“I didn’t! You’re talking nonsense! Big Brother, she’s maligning me! I’m naturally timid. How would I dare to come up with such an idea?”
Chen Pan immediately denied it.
Even if she was the one who came up with the idea, she was the one who started the lecture.
“Chen Pan, you b*tch! I was wrong about you.”
“You’re no better. If you hadn’t been egging me on, why would I have gone into the bathroom with you? You’re the reason I was arrested and brought here!”
“B*tch, shut up! After we get out, I’ll definitely tear your mouth apart!”
“Then come and try. You’re the mastermind. You can’t get out! Brother, please believe me. I’m really not the mastermind. Please punish me gently…”
Death Warrior crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a faint smile, “In that case, you admit that scaring Young Mistress was not a misunderstanding, but you did it on purpose?”
Their faces stiffened.
Li Lingli was the first to react.
“Damn it! Are you trying to get information out of us?”
“Hehe.” Death Warrior laughed mockingly and said, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Didn’t you say that if your father finds out, he won’t let us off? Why don’t you look up?”
Li Lingli subconsciously looked up.
He saw that the ceiling above him was empty. He could see the railing on the second floor directly.
Beside the railing, Aaron Berg stood side by side with two middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men were Li Lingli’s father and Chen Pan’s second uncle.
“Second Uncle!”
“Dad! Save me!”
Mr. Li shook his head and said with a disappointed expression, “Lingli, I didn’t expect you to do such a thing. It’s simply the family’s misfortune!”
Li Lingli widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Dad, what do you mean? Don’t you care about my life? I’m your biological daughter!”
“It’s precisely because you’re my biological daughter that I can’t let you go. Otherwise, you’ll completely go down the wrong path! It’s a good opportunity for Mr. Swanson’s people to help me discipline you so that you won’t make even more serious mistakes in the future!”
Li Lingli was furious.
“Dad! You can’t do this to me!”
She had thought that her father would scold her, but she had never expected that her father did not care about her life at all and even asked Ken Swanson to help him discipline her!
Chen Pan’s second uncle had a cold expression on his face.
“Chen Pan, your father died early. I thought your mother would educate you well, but it seems that I was wrong about her. I’m really disappointed in you.”
“No, no! No! Second Uncle, don’t be like this. I was wrong. I really know my mistake. I won’t make any mistakes in the future. Please don’t leave me alone!”
Chen Pan’s second uncle no longer listened to Chen Pan’s nonsense. He turned around and said respectfully to Aaron Berg, “Sir, since Chen Pan has already admitted that she did deliberately want to mess with Grandma Mr. Swanson, I definitely won’t side with her. I won’t be dissatisfied no matter how you punish her.”
Aaron Berg raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and looked at Father Li.
“Where’s Mr. Li? Is he going to beg for mercy for your daughter?”
Mr. Li’s expression froze.
Li Lingli was his biological daughter after all, but in the face of such power and the fact that Li Lingli had indeed made a mistake, as a businessman, he knew what to do for the family.
Therefore, after hesitating for two seconds, Mr. Li said firmly, “If you want to hit or punish me, I’ll let you punish me. It’s just that I don’t know anything about this. Please be magnanimous and don’t implicate our family.”
“That’s right.” Chen Pan’s second uncle quickly added, “I’m just Chen Pan’s second uncle. Ping Fox doesn’t interact much with her. She was the one who insisted on pestering me to come to today’s cocktail party. I really had no choice but to bring her here. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I’ll definitely reflect on myself when I go back. Please don’t blame me.”
Aaron Berg put on a fake smile and said, “Don’t worry. Since the two of you are so cooperative, how can I implicate you?”
