Chapter 296: Simply Too Much
Hong Wen listened to Li Qiqin's words and suddenly slammed the table, saying, "Cousin, Hong Qichang is nothing but a beast. Not only do I say this about him, but I also wish I could stab him to death!"
Li Qiqin was shocked and asked, "How do you have such deep hatred for your father?"
"You know, that man Hong killed my mother just to marry Liu Cai Chun," Hong Wen said, his eyes reddening and tears shimmering.
Hong Wen's words clearly shocked Li Qiqin. It felt like a powerful storm had erupted in her heart, akin to raging waves crashing against the shore. Her face turned pale, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Hong Wen, what exactly is going on? Who did you hear this from?"
Her cousin was much older than her; when they were young, she often played by her side. Not only did she care for her like an older sister, but at times she also loved her with the tenderness of a mother.
How could her cousin possibly have died at the hands of Hong Qichang? If it weren't for Hong Wen's words, she wouldn't have dared to believe it.
"I'm not repeating what someone else said," Hong Wen replied. "I found out through my own investigation. When I was young, I had doubts about my mother's death. After graduating from university, I returned to the Hong Family. Perhaps Heaven was watching over me; one day when I was bored at home, I stumbled into a basement and accidentally discovered a blood letter that my mother had hidden in a crack in the floor. That's how I learned the truth—my mother died a terrible death. Besides telling Brother Xiao, no one else knows about this."
He then recounted how his mother had been imprisoned by Hong Qichang in the basement.
The news of her cousin's death left Li Qiqin utterly shocked!
Fire blazed in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "I never expected that Hong Qichang could be such a cruel beast!"
Now even she began to curse.
Xiao Yun discovered that when a beautiful woman gets angry, she always reveals a cute side, with her almond-shaped eyes wide open and her peachy cheeks flushed. That state of being both furious and charming exudes a unique allure.
This was the first time Xiao Yun had seen Li Qiqin in a fit of anger.
The topics discussed between the aunt and niece were all family matters, and Xiao Yun felt it inappropriate to interject, so he quietly sat beside them, occasionally stealing glances at Li Qiqin's chest.
He noticed that not only was she cute when angry, but her ample bosom also heaved dramatically, making it hard for anyone to look away. This was quite a competition with Ouyang Bing.
"Cousin, does Hong Qichang know you’re back?" Hong Wen asked.
Li Qiqin frowned and replied, "Of course he knows. After I divorced that man in Korea, he encouraged me to come back. I just didn’t tell him I arrived in Galaxy today."
"What does he want you back for?" Hong Wen asked anxiously.
Li Qiqin said, "He mentioned that he has established an Azure Cloud Group with many companies under it and wants me to work at one of his companies. He said I could have any company I liked!"
Hong Wen scoffed, "That bastard! He has ulterior motives regarding you. Don’t listen to him. At home, he not only has Liu Cai Chun but also many women outside. He wants you back just to possess you and make you his woman!"
Perhaps fueled by anger, Hong Wen's words were quite blunt but came from the heart.
Li Qiqin's expression turned confused. She was very happy to be back this time; after all, being with family was much better than being in a foreign land.
How many times had Midnight returned in dreams, with Li Qi shedding tears over her past recklessness and leaving her homeland?
But now, upon returning to her country, she never expected the outcome of things would be so daunting that she couldn’t even imagine where she would settle down in the future.
Seeing the complex expression on Li Qiqin's face was a great opportunity for Xiao Yun; it felt like a fortuitous encounter indeed.
“Teacher Li,”
Xiao Yun revealed a flattering smile and said, “I have a friend named An Yiran. She founded Drunken Beauty Cosmetics Company, and she is currently looking for staff. I can introduce you to her, and you can work there.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qiqin hesitated and replied, “That sounds good, but will what you say actually work with her?”
“Don’t worry, she will definitely listen to me!” Xiao Yun said proudly.
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Li Qiqin still seemed somewhat skeptical and asked, “Really?”
Last time at the Emperor Hotel, Hong Wen had met An Yiran and said, “Cousin, that An Yiran is Brother Xiao’s woman. You think he can say something she won’t listen to?”
Uh-oh, Xiao Yun immediately felt a headache coming on and was so angry he wanted to slap him.
Damn it, how could he say that An Yiran is my woman in front of Li Qiqin? Isn’t that cutting off my chances with Teacher Li?
Meanwhile, Li Qiqin looked at Xiao Yun with a strange expression. Wow, it seems this guy really has quite a few women around him.
“Ha ha, so this company is also yours then?” Li Qiqin asked Xiao Yun with a smile.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Xiao Yun awkwardly replied, “Oh, not exactly. The legal representative is under someone else's name; I just help out occasionally.”
At that moment, the waiter brought the dishes, and the three began to eat and drink.
“Come on, Teacher Li, to welcome you to Drunken Beauty Company, I’ll toast you with a drink!” Xiao Yun raised his glass towards Li Qiqin.
From his tone, it was clear that this company was practically his.
"Thank you!" Li Qiqin said with a flirtatious glance and a charming smile.
Given the current situation, what Li Qiqin urgently needed was, of course, a place to settle down.
Since a company was willing to accept her, it was undoubtedly the best outcome for Li Qiqin.
Xiao Yun said, "I will be heading to Panlong Mountain this afternoon. There is the Drunken Beauty Perfume Production Base there. Teacher Li, why don't you come along with me to take a look?"
Li Qiqin smiled and replied, "That sounds great, but we shouldn't drink if we're driving!"
"How can that be? I know Teacher Li's drinking capacity; we definitely have to drink. Don't worry, no one will find out I'm driving under the influence!" Xiao Yun said with a grin.
What he said was true; with the Heavenly Spirit Essence protecting him, no matter how much alcohol he consumed, it would be expelled from his body afterward. Any breathalyzer test would not detect any alcohol in him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident about drinking in any situation.
Li Qiqin chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once!"
Hong Wen, on the side, wasn't worried about Xiao Yun having any inappropriate thoughts about his cousin. From his perspective, first of all, Li Qiqin was Xiao Yun's teacher, and secondly, he and Xiao Yun referred to each other as brothers. Therefore, his cousin could be considered an elder in front of Xiao Yun; he at least wouldn't see her as just another woman.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that Xiao Yun had harbored feelings for this beautiful teacher since his student days. If he were to find out about this, he would surely spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Cousin, I also support you going to Xiao Yun's company. By the way, let's raise a glass to celebrate your reunion as teacher and student!" Hong Wen raised his glass.
Xiao Yun began to change his opinion of Hong Wen; indeed, he was someone with potential, even thinking to toast both him and his cousin!
This is what it means to be teachable; Hong Wen is a living example.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yun said, patting Hong Wen on the shoulder as if he were the older brother.
"Between brothers, there's no need for thanks!" Hong Wen replied generously, which Xiao Yun greatly appreciated.
Hong Wen continued, "Brother Xiao, my cousin is going to see you. If that Hong Qichang finds out, he'll definitely hate you to the bone. You should be careful of him!"
Hearing this from Hong Wen, Li Qiqin's expression turned serious as she said to Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, if this is really going to cause you trouble, maybe I shouldn't go to see you after all!"
Xiao Yun became anxious upon hearing this. He had finally managed to bring his goddess close to him; how could he let her leave so easily?
"Ha ha, Teacher Li, don't worry. Hong Qichang wouldn't dare to touch me. If he really wants to come after me, let him try!" Xiao Yun laughed nonchalantly.
Indeed, Xiao Yun was not afraid of any retaliation from Hong Qichang.
After the incident with "Bastard Stole the Hua Family's Suitcase," it seemed that Hong Qichang's good days were coming to an end. Who could he still threaten?
Li Qiqin looked at Xiao Yun in surprise. Was this still the same simple, slightly lecherous country boy who used to gaze at women?
After many years apart, Xiao Yun seemed like a different person in Li Qiqin's eyes; he carried a hint of mischief and a strong aura of dominance.
"Xiao Yun, I heard that my cousin... brother-in-law has a lot of influence in the galaxy!" Li Qiqin said with some concern.
"Haha... no matter how much influence he has, can it compare to heaven?"
Xiao Yun scoffed and said, "People make their own choices; heaven is watching. Teacher Li, don't worry about anything. Let's eat; we still need to head to Panlong Mountain this afternoon!"
On that very afternoon, Hong Qichang had already learned that his cousin was going to Xiao Yun's company.
It was quite a coincidence. At that time, Hong Wen received a call from Li Qiqin, saying she had returned to the country and was currently at Heaven's End Hotel, inviting him to join her for a meal. He immediately drove to End of the World. As he entered, he happened to be seen by someone nearby, who was one of Hong Qichang's associates.
That person was named Ba Qi, the youngest among Hong Qichang's Five Tiger Generals. He happened to be here today with friends for a meal. Hong Wen did not know him, but he recognized Hong Wen.
As they brushed past each other, Ba Qi paused for a moment and secretly followed Hong Wen, watching him walk through a corridor and enter a small private room.
While dining with his friends, Ba Qi thought to himself that although Hong Wen held a low position in the Hong Family, it was evident that Hong Qichang had him in mind. Perhaps in the future, Azure Cloud Group would belong to him. Regardless of whether he could enter the Hong Family or Azure Cloud Group's High Level later on, someone like him should not be easily overlooked.
He decided to bring a drink over to toast Hong Wen in the private room.
When Ba Qi reached the door of the small private room and was about to push the door open, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter from inside and froze. Could it be that the young master of the Hong Family was on a date with a woman? If that were the case, it would be too reckless for him to barge in!
He stood at the door, pressing his ear against the crack to listen closely. He soon realized that the woman was actually Hong Wen's cousin. Then he heard another man inside; the woman called him Xiao Yun.
Upon learning that this formidable figure Xiao Yun was inside, Ba Qi was startled and nearly dropped to the ground. How could Hong Wen be involved with this disaster?
Ba Qi dared not enter anymore and was about to leave in a panic when he overheard Xiao Yun inviting Li Qiqin to join his company. He felt this information was crucial and quickly found a secluded corner to make a call, reporting everything he had discovered from start to finish to Hong Qichang.
When Hong Qichang heard this, he nearly exploded with rage. This Xiao Yun was simply too much; he even dared to snatch away the woman who occupied his thoughts day and night! The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
