Li Shao, it turned out to be Li Qianfan!
But who was this young woman?
Wait, she looked familiar.
Oh.
It was Dai Paipai from Paipai Fashion!
Upon receiving news that Li Qianfan had gone to Paipai Fashion, Mo Hongti immediately dispatched a trusted subordinate to infiltrate the factory as a worker.
This way, the subordinate could secretly monitor Li Qianfan's movements.
The subordinate would undoubtedly transmit Dai Paipai's personal information and photos to Mo Hongti.
"He was clearly Dai Paipai's secretary."
"But now Dai Paipai respectfully calls him Young Master Li, acting obsequiously towards him."
"Either this kid has charmed Dai Paipai."
"Or Dai Paipai knows Li Qianfan's background and is willingly throwing herself at him."
Mo Hongti quickly deduced these possibilities and strode to the table, picking up the phone.
At the main bar of Jintan Renjia.
A beautiful service staff member in a red uniform smiled and asked Li Qianfan and his companion if they had a reservation.
Li Qianfan replied, "The guests in private room 203 are friends I invited."
Outside private room 203.
Dai Paipai, taking the lead, politely knocked on the door.
A woman's voice came from within, "Please come in."
Dai Paipai then opened the door, stepped back, raised her hand, and bowed, inviting Li Qianfan to enter.
Li Qianfan stepped into the room.
As Dai Paipai followed him in, she took in the occupants of the private room.
Three people were seated at a table in the private room.
One was a slender girl with a delicate appearance, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
Another was a man in his forties, broad-shouldered and burly, but with a face full of honest smiles.
The third was a middle-aged beauty with a great figure and a charming face.
Upon seeing Li Qianfan enter, all three immediately stood up.
Then they made a gesture that astonished Dai Paipai!
They all placed their right hands on their chests and bowed towards Li Qianfan.
The middle-aged beauty and the young girl said in unison, "Ye Tianjiao (Li Chenyang), we greet you, Village Chief."
The man's lips moved, but no sound came out.
"Why are they so respectful to Qianfan?"
"Village Chief?"
"Where is Qianfan the Village Chief of?"
Dai Paipai stood stunned.
Li Qianfan, still wet behind the ears, accepted their salutations as a matter of course. He then smiled, bent down, and extended his hand to support the man's arm, "Uncle Bei, Aunt Jiao, Sister Chenyang. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."
Ye Tianjiao chuckled, "You, the Village Chief, have finally summoned us. Can we not rush to see you as quickly as possible?"
As she spoke to Li Qianfan, her gaze swept back and forth across Dai Paipai's face.
She also nodded from time to time, signaling that Dai Paipai was very beautiful.
Dai Paipai suddenly felt very nervous, twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, unsure of what to say.
"Uncle Bei, Aunt Jiao, Sister Chenyang."
Li Qianfan gave an awkward smile and gestured to Dai Paipai, "Let me introduce you. This is the boss of Qingyun Paipai Fashion."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Tianjiao interrupted him, "You are President Dai Paipai, aren't you? Hehe, we've known about you for a long time. Hmm. The name Paipai is indeed very captivating."
Dai Paipai was even more at a loss for words.
Her face flushed, making her look even more charming and familiar.
"Sigh."
Uncle Bei also took a look at Dai Paipai, his eyes filled with a complex emotion. He sighed silently, then raised his hand and made several gestures to Li Qianfan.
Dai Paipai then realized that Uncle Bei was mute.
But what was he trying to convey?
As Dai Paipai pondered, not understanding sign language, Ye Tianjiao shot Uncle Bei a glare and chided, "What's wrong with Qianfan liking mature women? I'm several years older than you, and I've had two sons with you, haven't I?"
Uncle Bei immediately stopped gesturing.
Dai Paipai's heart pounded wildly.
Li Qianfan's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Qianfan, sit down."
Ye Tianjiao pulled Li Qianfan's hand, urging him to sit down. "Don't listen to your Uncle Bei. It's perfectly normal for the Village Chief of our Li Family Village to like a mature young woman. However, one thing is absolutely forbidden: disrupting someone else's family. Otherwise, your mother will surely break your legs. And Aunt Jiao won't dare to plead for you then."
Dai Paipai was so embarrassed she wanted to flee through the door.
But even if someone pushed her!
She wouldn't leave.
Her intuition told her—
That as soon as she stepped into this private room, she had pushed open a door and was about to see a world she had never imagined even in her dreams!
Cough.
Li Qianfan coughed heavily, signaling Ye Tianjiao to stop talking.
"Hmph."
Ye Tianjiao became even more animated. "When you were just learning to walk, you loved lifting girls' skirts. How is it that you've become shy as you've grown up?"
Li Qianfan said with a constipated expression, "Aunt Jiao, I am married now. And my relationship with Boss Paipai is merely that of boss and secretary."
"A secretary doing… anytime you want—"
Ye Tianjiao's eyebrows shot up, and Uncle Bei coughed heavily.
She immediately shut her mouth.
Finally escaping Ye Tianjiao's teasing.
Li Qianfan looked gratefully at Uncle Bei and picked up his teacup to drink.
Uncle Bei raised his hand and made several gestures.
"Yes, I received a call last night."
Li Qianfan nodded and recounted the details of the call he received last night (Wen Jun You Bai Yu Jiao Qi).
Dai Paipai was secretly surprised, thinking that Zhao Lianjin might be behind this.
"Although I don't understand whether the person who called was playing a prank or something else."
Li Qianfan said seriously, "But for safety's sake, I still need to send someone to protect Ziyu from afar."
Li Chenyang stood up and bowed again, "Please rest assured, Village Chief. Anyone! Whether they are domestic or foreign assassins, if they want to harm Madam Shao, they will have to step over my corpse."
Dai Paipai then realized that Li Chenyang was the bodyguard Li Qianfan had hired for Su Ziyu.
But looking at her delicate appearance, could she really stop ferocious-looking men if they appeared?
"Please, Sister Chenyang."
Li Qianfan nodded slightly and changed the subject, "Uncle Bei, what's the situation with my mother?"
Uncle Bei smiled mysteriously—
He picked up a chopstick and, without applying any force with his thumb, snapped the very sturdy chopstick in half.
Dai Paipai's heart trembled.
Li Qianfan's jaw twitched slightly, and he quickly picked up his cup to drink water.
It was obvious.
Li Qianfan's mother was going to break his legs because he married Su Ziyu in Qingyun!
Ye Tianjiao, however, said, "Qianfan, don't be afraid. If your mother dares to hit you, report her to your grandmother and tell her."
As soon as she said this—
Dai Paipai's vision blurred!
*Slap.*
The broken chopstick in Uncle Bei's hand shot out like an arrow towards the door, hitting the door panel heavily.
Although he was mute, his hearing was far more acute than that of a normal person.
The moment Uncle Bei's chopstick shot out!
Dai Paipai saw the delicate-looking Li Chenyang move as well.
But Dai Paipai's eyes couldn't even track Li Chenyang's speed as she lunged towards the door!
"Is she human or a ghost?"
As Dai Paipai's eyes widened in shock, Li Chenyang had already raised her hand and opened the door.
Li Qianfan, who had been calmly drinking his tea the entire time, finally turned his head and glanced indifferently towards the door.
Outside the door—
Mo Hongti, dressed in a red suit, was in a posture of bending over, raising her leg high, and pressing against the door to eavesdrop.
