"What? You're saying he's Wang Er Zhu, the richest man in the capital!"
Madam Li was about to retort when she suddenly heard the words "richest man in the capital," and her mind was instantly struck by lightning!
She knew Mr. Wang was a big shot, but she never imagined he was such a top-tier big shot!
Wang Er Zhu, he was someone who dared to offend the Xu family, let alone her Li family!
In an instant, all the words of defense she had wanted to use became useless. Madam Li's shocked eyes were filled with fear!
"Yes, he is Wang Er Zhu, the richest man in the capital, someone that people like you and I cannot afford to offend!"
Looking at Madam Li's terrified eyes, Anna nodded slightly, speaking as she forcefully pushed Madam Li to the ground.
She, Anna, had worked so hard to achieve her current status, and she was almost ruined by this woman!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I didn't help her with this. I just didn't know Miss Li was being deceived by her."
Without looking at Madam Li again, Anna bowed respectfully to Er Zhu and explained everything that had just happened.
"Mmm, I see. Miss Anna, please wait a moment. I'll handle things here."
Seeing the anger in Anna's eyes, Er Zhu nodded slightly. Anna dared not say more and quickly stepped aside...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. I... I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to foster good karma."
Madam Li was completely stunned. She desperately clutched Er Zhu's trouser leg, begging him earnestly.
The onlookers were equally dumbfounded, never expecting that the boss behind the mall was actually Wang Er Zhu, the richest man in the capital!
He was Old Feng's adopted son!
There were also many unverified rumors. Although there was no proof, major influential families were almost certain that those rumors were true!
Thinking of this, the crowd was even more shocked and slowly retreated, afraid of being implicated in this matter.
"Get lost!"
Er Zhu disdainfully shook off Madam Li. If he had known this woman was so troublesome, he should have taught her a lesson that day!
"Miss Li, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. Please, for the sake of my daughter who spoke up for me, spare me this once. I really dare not do it again!"
Seeing that there was no hope with Er Zhu, Madam Li immediately turned her attention and begged Li Mei, kowtowing to her.
If she had known Mr. Wang was Wang Er Zhu, she wouldn't have dared to do such a thing even if she had ten thousand times the courage!
She was even considering the Xu family's reputation, but in Wang Er Zhu's eyes, the Xu family was like an ant!
A trace of regret flickered in Madam Li's terrified eyes, but what use was regret now?
"It's too late. I've already acquired Li's Group. You can get lost!"
Er Zhu sent a final message to Lin Mo, then put away his phone, put his arm around Li Mei, and walked towards the coffee shop, leaving the dumbfounded mother and daughter behind.
Li's Group had been acquired!
And in such a short period of time!
After all, Li's Group was a company worth billions, and it had been acquired so casually!
Madam Li was utterly shocked and finally understood the difference between top-tier affluent families and their second-tier affluent families.
"Go ahead and cause trouble, are you satisfied now? I told you not to come, but you insisted!"
Li Yun'er, having recovered from her shock, stomped her feet angrily and yelled at her mother. Before Madam Li could say anything, she had already run off.
Ring ring...
Just as Madam Li was about to chase after her daughter, the urgent phone call rang. The moment she answered, she heard her husband's roar: "What idiocy have you caused outside? I'm divorcing you!"
Boom!
The immense shock caused Madam Li to faint on the spot, but no one dared to help her.
In the blink of an eye, daylight had arrived. Looking at the sky-blue, off-the-shoulder fitted evening gown she was wearing, Li Mei was overjoyed.
Although the gown looked ordinary, the lace trim around the waist was the highlight!
The sky-blue satin fabric paired with Li Mei's fair skin created an indescribable sense of beauty!
"Er Zhu, isn't the neckline too low? Will people say I'm promiscuous?"
Just as they were about to get out of the car, Li Mei noticed the neckline that was almost revealing a magnificent view, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
"No, this level is just right."
Er Zhu smiled slightly, tucked a stray strand of hair behind Li Mei's ear, and then took her hand to get out of the car.
Click, click...
As soon as they stepped out, Li Mei instantly became the focus of various media. The flashes of light shone like stars in the sky. Although Li Mei was accustomed to such scenes, the sudden brightness still made her a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Er Zhu felt Li Mei subconsciously step back, so he slowly put his arm around her shoulders. Hearing Er Zhu's encouragement, Li Mei nodded slightly and then mustered her courage to walk in.
As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Li Mei instantly became the center of attention, drawing covetous glances from men and envious gazes from women!
"What's going on? How is her face even more beautiful than before!"
Xu Xiaoting, hiding in the shadows, had intended to use this opportunity to embarrass Li Mei, but she never expected such a result!
Xu Xiaoting clutched her clothes tightly. She didn't want to give up such a good opportunity for revenge, but now she was helpless!
Right!
As Xu Xiaoting was panicking, she suddenly thought of a good idea.
This time, she would make Li Mei and Wang Er Zhu infamous!
"Sister Li Mei, you look so beautiful today!"
"Sister Li Mei, compared to you, we beautiful women have become ordinary."
While Er Zhu was discussing business with his partners, Li Mei wanted to find a corner to sit down, but she unexpectedly ran into Wang Xiaomei and Lin Qingqing.
"Alright, stop teasing me. You are the heads of first-tier affluent families in the capital. I'm just a housewife."
Seeing the envious looks on the two women's faces, Li Mei merely smiled slightly, her joyous eyes filled with sadness.
The two women envied them, but little did they know that she also envied them.
Because they were not only beautiful but also had their own careers, whereas she could only live under Er Zhu's protection.
For someone as strong-willed as her, this was difficult to accept!
"Sister Li Mei, don't say that. Although President Er Zhu is the owner of the mall, hasn't he given you full authority? That can also be considered your own career."
Seeing Li Mei's unhappy expression, Wang Xiaomei and Lin Qingqing quickly comforted her.
