Hangcheng Airport, 4:15 PM.
"Li Mingqi, doesn't that person look familiar?" Jiang Xiuying asked, nudging Li Mingqi's arm as she watched Li Enzhong standing rigidly not far away.
"Who are you referring to? Li Enzhong?!" Li Mingqi casually followed Jiang Xiuying's gaze and was stunned when he saw Li Enzhong.
Such a prominent figure, standing here. Judging by his demeanor, he seemed to be waiting for someone, just like them.
Behind Li Enzhong, a full thirty bodyguards stood in three rows. This display instantly reminded Li Mingqi of the scene outside the Civil Affairs Bureau when Li Wan'er and Li Xuan divorced.
"Li Enzhong? You mean the general manager of Li De Group?" Jiang Xiuying suddenly recalled.
After Li Xuan and Li Wan'er divorced, Jiang Xiuying had personally seen Li Xuan leave in a Li De Group car. That scene, even after so long, was still vivid in her mind.
"Li De Group seems to be in crisis right now, and Li Enzhong rarely appears. I never expected to run into him here today. It seems the person he's waiting for must have a very high status."
Although Li Mingqi didn't go out much, living in Hangcheng, he was aware of some news about Li De Group. Seeing Li Enzhong appear now, he assumed it was a VIP's arrival that would warrant such a reception.
"If it weren't for Li De Group's problems, Wan'er wouldn't have had to make this trip to the capital. Sigh, it's truly hard on our Wan'er, a young girl, having to fend for herself out there."
Jiang Xiuying snorted coldly upon hearing this and then sighed softly.
"If it weren't for your repeated insistence that Wan'er divorce Li Xuan, she wouldn't be in this situation. Forget it, it's been so long, what's the point of dwelling on it. Alright, looking at the time, Wan'er should be here soon."
Li Mingqi sighed helplessly. A perfectly good family had become like this, all because of Jiang Xiuying in front of him.
"If that Li Xuan had any promise, would I have treated him like that? Even if he knows people from Li De Group, he's still useless! Besides, Li De Group can barely save itself, what benefit could an outsider like him get?"
Jiang Xiuying paused and continued, "Wan'er divorcing him was the smartest choice! Moreover, he was the one who asked to divorce Wan'er, I didn't force them!"
Li Mingqi sighed again, but this time he remained silent.
Baoxiu Garden, Zhuo Residence.
"Li Enzhong brought people to the airport to pick someone up?" Upon hearing the news, Zhuo Wei frowned slightly.
At this critical juncture, for Li Enzhong to personally come to pick someone up, and even to block the reporters, it was evident that the person being received had a significant identity. Zhuo Wei, who had now aligned himself with the Qian family, was naturally worried about any powerful figure behind the Li family making a move.
"This is a photo sent back from the scene. The person being picked up is likely of great importance." A man in a suit handed his phone to Zhuo Wei.
"Have someone keep a close watch. I want to see who this person Li Enzhong is receiving," Zhuo Wei said to the man in the suit after glancing at the photo.
"Yes!" The man in the suit nodded in agreement and then turned to leave quickly.
After the man in the suit departed, Zhuo Wei pondered for a moment before taking out his phone and making a call.
...
A sigh.
Li Xuan, having disembarked from the plane, took a glance around and exhaled slightly as he walked towards the exit.
"Wan'er, you must be tired?" At the same time, Li Wan'er, who had also just landed, was met by Jiang Xiuying and Li Mingqi as she reached the exit. Jiang Xiuying held Li Wan'er's hand and asked.
"I'm fine." Li Wan'er shook her head slightly, then her gaze shifted, and she saw Li Enzhong. "Mr. Li?"
"Wan'er, Li De Group is in trouble now. Let's not bother with these things. Let's go, you must be exhausted after such a long flight." Jiang Xiuying overheard and quickly stepped in front of Li Wan'er.
"Mom, Li De Group helped me out back then. Otherwise, my company would have gone bankrupt. Although there were some impacts, at least our company is still standing. If we don't even dare to greet them, it would be too heartless."
Li Wan'er shook her head slightly and then, sidestepping Jiang Xiuying, walked quickly towards Li Enzhong.
"Wan'er..." Jiang Xiuying called out loudly. She had intended to follow, but upon seeing the bodyguards behind Li Enzhong, she slowly retreated.
"Mr. Li." Li Wan'er approached, and the bodyguards immediately blocked her. Li Wan'er didn't mind and called out softly to Li Enzhong.
"So it's Miss Wan'er." Li Enzhong looked up upon hearing her voice and smiled slightly, nodding. "My apologies. Several projects with your company were forced to halt. I hope Miss Wan'er can forgive us."
"Mr. Li, you misunderstand. From your demeanor, are you waiting for someone?" Li Wan'er said with a wry smile, shaking her head. Although these projects had indeed impacted her company, they hadn't caused significant losses.
Moreover, Li De Group had made some amends afterward, so Li Wan'er's company had not suffered too much.
"Yes, I am waiting for someone. Miss Wan'er, have you just returned?" Li Enzhong nodded slightly and then asked.
"Just returned from the capital." Li Wan'er nodded, then added, "Since Mr. Li is waiting, I won't disturb you further."
"Alright. After this company crisis is resolved, if Miss Wan'er still trusts Li De Group, we can continue our previous cooperation." Li Enzhong nodded and said.
"This... alright, as long as Mr. Li trusts me, everything can remain as before." Li Wan'er was taken aback. She was well aware of the news concerning Li De Group during this period. However, listening to Li Enzhong now, it seemed these problems could be resolved.
Furthermore, Li Enzhong waiting here now, could it be that he was waiting for the influential figure who could solve Li De Group's crisis?
"Heh, that's good then." Li Enzhong smiled and nodded. His gaze then shifted back towards the exit.
"Mr. Li, I'll take my leave then." Li Wan'er said. Her gaze also turned towards the exit, and a curiosity arose in her heart about the person who could help Li De Group overcome its difficulties.
"Dad, wait a moment." A few minutes later, Li Wan'er, now in the car, couldn't suppress her curiosity and softly said to Li Mingqi, who had already started the car.
"Wan'er, what is it?" Li Mingqi turned his head, looking at Li Wan'er with a puzzled expression.
"The person Mr. Li is waiting for must be quite influential. I want to see who it is." Li Wan'er replied.
"Alright." Li Mingqi nodded, his curiosity evidently mirroring Li Wan'er's.
A few minutes passed, and Li Xuan's figure slowly appeared at the exit. Li Enzhong, who had been waiting for a long time, his expression lit up with joy, and he quickly walked towards Li Xuan.
"Mr. Li." Li Enzhong stopped before Li Xuan and called out respectfully.
"Mr. Li, your entourage is quite eye-catching," Li Xuan said with a smile, nodding and gesturing to the thirty bodyguards behind Li Enzhong.
"The situation has been quite tense recently. This is all to ensure your safety, Mr. Li," Li Enzhong said with a wry smile.
Li Xuan shrugged indifferently. With his current strength, it was unlikely anyone on Earth could harm him. However, he appreciated Li Enzhong's gesture. He then said, "Let's go, we can talk on the way back."
"Certainly, Mr. Li, please," Li Enzhong nodded and quickly walked ahead to lead the way.
"How is it Li Xuan?!"
At this moment, in the car, Jiang Xiuying and Li Mingqi exclaimed in shock as they saw that the person Li Enzhong was receiving was Li Xuan.
"It seems I underestimated him from the beginning." Li Wan'er looked at Li Xuan, her face displaying a mix of joy and bitterness.
Recalling her past with Li Xuan, especially after witnessing the power of Ivan and Su Qing's families in the capital, Li Wan'er found the two women's attitude towards Li Xuan incomprehensible.
But receiving their acknowledgment was enough to prove Li Xuan's admirable qualities. Yet, all of this had ended with her and Li Xuan's divorce.
"Wan'er..." Li Mingqi naturally sensed Li Wan'er's emotions and called out with some reluctance.
Li Wan'er smiled and leaned back against the car seat, closing her eyes. "Dad, let's go."
