Zhao Lianjin was stunned.
He had seen with his own eyes what Dai Paipai was doing.
He had heard with his own ears what Dai Paipai was shouting at Li Qianfan!
If it were just seeing Dai Paipai voluntarily letting Li Qianfan hit her, Zhao Lianjin could have seen it as the woman trying to provoke him by reverse psychology.
But—
She was shouting "Dad" at Li Qianfan, who was so much younger than her!
Zhao Lianjin could be sure his ears weren't playing tricks on him.
Under what circumstances would a woman much older than a man call him that?
Zhao Lianjin could figure it out with his right kidney.
Suddenly.
A flash of lightning struck Zhao Lianjin's mind.
He remembered what Wang Hong had blurted out to Li Qianfan yesterday evening, after her mental breakdown when she slandered Dai Paipai and Zhao Lianjin for being in an illicit affair.
At the time, everyone thought Dai Paipai was pleading with her deceased father.
"No!"
"Paipai the slut was calling Li Qianfan 'Dad' yesterday evening."
"So, they had already established a father-daughter relationship."
"It was probably yesterday afternoon, when they were in the office."
"Paipai the slut must have figured out that Wang Mingshuai was ambushed by me, that I intended to take over the garment factory and her, and in a panic, she treated Li Qianfan as a savior. To get Li Qianfan to help her, Paipai the slut shamelessly offered to be his daughter!"
Zhao Lianjin, as expected of a high-intelligence individual.
He figured all this out in an instant.
After understanding it all, Zhao Lianjin's vision went black and his limbs turned cold with rage.
Flames of anger surged into his head.
He wanted to kill those two shameless scoundrels!
But just as Zhao Lianjin was about to roar and pounce, he suddenly noticed that Dai Paipai was holding her phone in her left hand.
The phone had already been turned on to record.
As soon as Zhao Lianjin pounced and attacked Li Qianfan first, the latter would immediately have grounds for self-defense.
It would be easier for Li Qianfan to beat him than to beat a stray dog.
"I need to be calm."
"Paipai the slut is imitating me, deliberately provoking me to catch my flaws."
"Heh, how could I possibly make a mistake?"
"Paipai the slut, you just wait."
"When I force you according to my plan, and you have no choice but to kneel at my feet and beg me to hit you, I will show you how wrong your actions today were."
Zhao Lianjin, as expected of Zhao Lianjin—
He took several deep breaths, and his expression returned to normal.
He even smiled at Dai Paipai: "Paipai, you've gone too far. But I firmly believe you'll regret this one day."
Seeing Zhao Lianjin calm down so quickly, Dai Paipai was secretly disappointed.
But even more scared!
The fact that Zhao Lianjin could remain rational even under such provocation was enough to prove how insidious he was.
He was more terrifying than a cobra hidden in the grass.
Yet, such a man was considered a confidant and brother by Wang Mingshuai, who trusted him immensely.
And ultimately suffered the backlash of this viper.
Thinking of her husband, who would forever remain in eternal slumber, Dai Paipai wanted to stomp her feet and cry out: "Mingshuai, how blind you were. Not only did you harm yourself, but you also pushed me into a viper's nest!"
Fortunately.
Heaven had sent Li Qianfan to her.
"Dad, let's go. Let's ignore this trash."
Dai Paipai gritted her teeth secretly, suppressing her inner pain, and then, holding Li Qianfan's left arm with both hands, she walked past Zhao Lianjin: "Dad, do you prefer me in black stockings, nude stockings, or no stockings at all?"
Yesterday she wore a white shirt and a black pencil skirt.
This morning, when she left the hospital, she had changed into a beige fitted blazer.
Li Qianfan, who had remained silent, still maintained his valuable silence in response to the owner Paipai's question.
Of course, he could see that the owner Paipai was using the same tactic against Zhao Lianjin.
In fact, Li Qianfan also hoped that Zhao Lianjin would be provoked.
Although Li Qianfan was compassionate towards the death row inmates he had personally created, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to strike when he could.
Unfortunately.
The owner Paipai's skill in secretly filming evidence was too poor, and Zhao Lianjin discovered it in advance.
Alas.
Idiot, can't even do such a small thing right.
As Li Qianfan sighed inwardly, he heard the owner Paipai continue, "Let's go with no stockings. My skin is good; even mosquitoes have never bitten me. I guarantee that one slap will leave a clear mark."
Li Qianfan remained silent.
Since the owner Paipai was acting, he just needed to cooperate silently.
Zhao Lianjin's vision went black again.
This was because, in his heart, Dai Paipai was already his woman.
Now, his woman was being so brazen with another man right in front of him!
Who wouldn't be angry?
Yet, Zhao Lianjin dared not act rashly.
He could only watch as that pair of scoundrels walked away.
Fortunately, it was still half an hour before work, and there was no one in the office building, so no one witnessed what happened here.
However, after walking about ten meters, Dai Paipai immediately let go of Li Qianfan's arm and whispered, "Dad, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Li Qianfan, with his hands in his pockets, smiled: "As long as you don't do it in front of others, I don't mind."
"But I did it in front of Zhao Lianjin—"
As Dai Paipai spoke, she suddenly realized: "Right, Zhao Lianjin is not a person at all."
Beep beep.
An old car drove over.
Old Su, who had skipped dinner last night, was coming to work.
Seeing Dai Paipai, he quickly braked: "Director Dai, good morning."
Dai Paipai smiled demurely: "Director Su, good morning."
Li Qianfan spoke up: "Director Dai, I'll chat with Uncle Su for a while. I'll be up soon to make you tea."
Li Qianfan stayed behind, fearing that Zhao Lianjin might further enrage Old Su.
"Okay."
Dai Paipai nodded lightly and walked away gracefully in her high heels.
As expected.
Seeing Old Su, the resentful Zhao Lianjin felt he had found someone to vent his anger on.
He sneered: "Deputy Director Su, why are you still coming to work alive at home?"
Li Qianfan's face darkened.
Old Su, who had gotten out of the car, raised his hand to signal Li Qianfan to stay calm.
He took out his phone and dialed.
As soon as the call connected, Old Su turned on the speaker and said blandly, "Xiaolan, Zhao Lianjin just asked me why I wasn't dead at home."
"Old Su, give the phone to that Zhao guy."
Ning Xiaolan said from the other end: "I have something to say to him directly."
Old Su nodded and held the phone out to Zhao Lianjin: "My wife, Ning Xiaolan, has something to say to you."
Before Zhao Lianjin could figure out who his wife was, he heard Ning Xiaolan's voice coming from the phone.
"Idiot!"
This was Mother Lan's catchphrase.
The following content is the official format.
"Zhao Lianjin. I am Ning Xiaolan from the special patrol station on Olympic Sports West Road."
"You should know me."
"Now, as Su Laiyun's wife, I am telling you that I will properly counsel Wang Hong, who is detained for slander, and make her confess who instructed her to carry out the illegal act of honey trapping against Li Qianfan, the secretary of the general manager of Paipai Fashion."
"You just wait."
After Mother Lan finished speaking, she decisively ended the call.
Zhao Lianjin was completely dumbfounded.
Even if he had to give up a kidney, he wouldn't believe that Su Laiyun, who drove an old car every day, was Ning Xiaolan's husband!
"Vice President Zhao, stunned?"
Old Su said with great smugness: "You thought I was weak and easily bullied? That's just my low profile! Actually, I have connections up above."
