“How could the Yuzun Group, which controls the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people, indulge such a crazy woman who spouts nonsense? Cheng Yuan, where do you want me to put my face as Mrs. Li?”

Shi Yuxuan casually raised her eyebrows and threw her a sharp glare.

What she meant was clear. To put it bluntly, she intended to kick Qin Xi out.

This matter was not easy to handle. Even though she had been Li Beichen’s special assistant for three years, she was still in a dilemma at that moment.

On the left was the mother of the President’s beloved woman, and on the right was Mrs. Li. No matter which side she offended, Cheng Yuan would have to bear the consequences.

Wasn’t this putting her between a rock and a hard place?

But then again, even if it was a business marriage, Shi Yuxuan was still Mrs. Li. With this thought, Cheng Yuan already had an idea.

Although Cheng Yuan politely extended her hand to point the way, her tone was unyielding. “Mrs. Qiao, you should go back first.”

“You dare to chase me away?!” Qin Xi was burning with rage. The corners of her mouth twitched.

Shi Yuxuan leaned lazily on the sofa with a cup of vodka in her hand. Her well-proportioned legs were casually placed on a few tables. With just a simple posture, her whole body exuded a carefree, devilish aura.

“What do you think? If she doesn’t chase you away, is she supposed to chase me away? Mrs. Qiao, open your eyes and take a good look. The person sitting in front of you is the legitimate Mrs. Li.”

The mockery and sarcasm in Yuxuan’s eyes made Cheng Yuan’s heart tremble. Other than Li Beichen who could intimidate her, only this woman in front of Cheng Yuan could do such a thing.

Cheng Yuan could not help but sigh. This was Mrs. Li?

As expected of Mrs. Li. She was truly amazing, really amazing!

“Shi Yuxuan, you just wait! Wen Qian will come back eventually. When that happens, you can cry yourself to death!” Qin Xi spat at her aggressively. With a straight face, she pushed Cheng Yuan aside and arrogantly walked out of the president’s office.

This old woman actually spat at her?

Yuxuan’s lips twitched. If she hadn’t dodged fast enough, she would have become a spittoon.

Her original intention for making this trip to Yuzun was to ask Li Beichen for an explanation for drugging her alcohol. She had never expected to discover such a big thing.

So Li Beichen had a woman he loved deeply?

If not for this incident, she would have been kept in the dark for a long time.

Looking at Qin Xi’s overbearing back view, Shi Yuxuan raised her red lips and smiled faintly.

Whatever happened today was not her fault.

It was Qin Xi who recognized Shi Yuxuan at a glance. In the blink of an eye, she had thrown a tantrum, grabbed the broom by the side, and smashed it at the top of Shi Yuxuan’s head.

Caught off guard, Yuxuan felt her head spin and she almost lost her balance.

Not only did that woman not retract her hand, she even took the opportunity to pull her hair. Then she scolded her for being a slut and mistress and declared that Li Beichen would only love her daughter forever. The position of Mrs. Li was Qiao Wenqian’s and it would never be given to a lowly person like her.

Although she had no feelings for Li Beichen, she was, after all, the future Mrs. Li. How could she let herself be scolded in such a way by Li Beichen’s former mother-in-law to the point she was even attacked? Shi Yuxuan was so angry that she slapped the offensive woman, and the matter only escalated from there.

She took a glance at her burning palms. Those two slaps were undeniably satisfying!

Picking up the glass of vodka, she gulped it down. It wasn’t sweet, bitter, or astringent. The fiery thrill burned into her throat.

However, Li Beichen and her were only in a business marriage for their own benefits and both of them had no feelings for each other. Now that this had happened, how would Li Beichen react?

In the future, it wouldn’t be easy. After all, while she would have gained a husband, she did not have anyone to support her.
