Chapter 217 - Torture

Li Li didn't know why, but she kept feeling that Xiang Chen Xi's smile carried a little chill. She asked curiously: "What's wrong? What business do you have with me? "

"Didn't you always want to be with me? You are indeed more suitable for me than Tao Chu Liang. How about it, do you want to consider being my girlfriend? " Xiang Chen Xi took a step forward and looked at Li Li a little anxiously, as if he was anxious for her to agree.

Li Li was stunned on the spot. She thought that Xiang Chen Xi, who knew the truth, would scold her loudly. But she never thought that Xiang Chen Xi would actually say that he wanted to be with her!

"What is it? Regret it? " Xiang Chen Xi's tone did not sound hot at all.

"Chen Xi, is what you said true?" Li Li realized that although he loved and hated Xiang Chen Xi, it seemed that as long as he was a little more gentle to him, he would still be completely unable to resist.

"Do I look like I'm lying?"

"Don't you hate me?" Li Li stood up from his seat.

Of course I hate you. If not for you, how could Chu Liang and I have reached such a state? However, the words that came out of Xiang Chen Xi's mouth were: "It was you who had allowed me to clearly recognize what kind of woman Tao Chu Liang was.

Then, Xiang Chen Xi walked over to Li Li with large strides and gave her a hug. After a moment of absent-mindedness, Li Li reached out and hugged back. As it turned out, everything that belonged to him would eventually return to his side. Li Li felt that she and Xiang Chen Xi were fated to be together.

Xiang Chen Xi looked out of the window on the ground, his eyes focused on nothing. Tao Chu Liang, I will let you have a taste of what it feels like to be heartbroken.

Tao Chu Liang's twenty-fifth birthday banquet quickly spread across the entire business world. This woman who suddenly appeared now had a lot of legendary colors on his body. He had won the Leap Group in his plans, saved the latter who was on the verge of failure, and now had a new jewellery brand.

No matter what, this was an opportunity to express good will towards Tao Chu Liang. Thus, after many people from the business world received the invitation letter, they were already prepared to come.

The birthday banquet was set to be held at the Royal Crown Restaurant, so Tao Chu Liang immediately invited everyone to attend the banquet. Adding in the people from the business world and the media, there were more than three hundred people who were famous in all other realms, but Tao Chu Liang did not invite any of the secondary celebrities.

At the moment, Qiao Qing Hao and Tao Chu Liang were still in the makeup room. Right now, Tao Chu Liang's vision was already very blurry, and what he saw no longer had a clear outline.

Qiao Qing Hao's brows tightly knitted together, and he said in a low voice, "Chu Liang, do you have to do this? You really, really thought it through? "

Tao Chu Liang's hands were tightly clenched. After tonight, Chen Xi would probably give up.

"I've thought about it." Taking a deep breath, Tao Chu Liang stood up. Qiao Qing Hao reached out her hand and held onto him.

The guests were already waiting in the main hall. The host had already warmed up and was waiting for tonight's birthday to appear.

And just like that, everyone's expectations were raised. Tao Chu Liang held Qiao Qing Hao's arm and walked out. Tonight, she was dressed in a sky-blue dress with his back exposed, and white high heels adorned her long legs. The tight waist of the dress outlined his alluring figure. But what was most captivating was the natural gas that Tao Chu Liang released. She was elegant, fresh, gentle, and resolute. He was so beautiful that he could not be touched. Qiao Qing Hao wore a black tailcoat and wore a small bow tie, appearing refined and refined. Those who didn't know the answer would feel that they were a match made in heaven.

Xiang Chen Xi's eyes followed Tao Chu Liang. The current Tao Chu Liang made him feel that it was impossible to reach. She had already grown up a lot, and was able to remain calm in the face of so many people's gazes. Seeing her walking shoulder to shoulder with Qiao Qing Hao, Xiang Chen Xi had never been so jealous before.

When Tao Chu Liang got on stage, he almost fell.

Xiang Chen Xi's heart tightened, but Qiao Qing Hao, who was beside Tao Chu Liang, had already supported her. Qiao Qing Hao asked worriedly: "Chu Liang, are you alright? There are still six steps. Don't panic, take it slow. " Qiao Qing Hao's nose turned sour, he was afraid that he couldn't see his eyes at all, not long ago.

Seeing Qiao Qing Hao tightly clenching Tao Chu Liang's hand, Xiang Chen Xi's hand had become a fist.

"Chen Xi, look, she still doesn't seem to be able to make it onto the stage." Now that Xiang Chen Xi had returned to his side, she was just in the right time to be proud.

Xiang Chen Xi turned his head to look at her, and said coldly: "I won't allow you to say that to her."

Li Li stopped talking and turned her head away.

And Tao Chu Liang, who was standing on the stage, recognized Xiang Chen Xi's silhouette with a single glance. But she noticed that there seemed to be someone else standing beside him, and it was a woman. Tao Chu Liang was startled, and asked softly: "Qing Hao, who is that person standing beside Chen Xi?"

It was only then that Qiao Qing Hao noticed Xiang Chen Xi, and when he looked down the stage, he exclaimed: Li Li? "How could the two of them …"

"What happened to them?" Tao Chu Liang's heart tightened.

"They, they look very intimate." Qiao Qing Hao frowned. Just a moment ago, Xiang Chen Xi had noticed that Chu Liang and Qiao Qing Hao were looking at him, so he intentionally made Li Li move closer to him, and Li Li had always been holding his arm.

Tao Chu Liang's body trembled. Why did Chen Xi come together with Li Li to attend his birthday banquet?

Chen Shu and Sheng Jue who were below the stage were also filled with unhappiness. In their hearts, Li Li had a death wish. But Xiang Chen Xi said that Li Li already knew her wrongs, and made peace with her, so she still treated her like a little sister. This made it hard for Sheng Jue and Chen Shu to understand, but they could not dissuade her either.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to my birthday party." Tao Chu Liang's voice came out from the microphone, causing everyone to look at her.

"Today is not only my birthday. Actually, there is something else that I want to share with you all." Tao Chu Liang paused, her gaze faintly sweeping across the place where Xiang Chen Xi stood, and continued, "The man beside me has accompanied me through my most difficult years, so I want to tell everyone that I am going to marry him! The wedding will be held in three days. I hope you can come back to attend it at that time. "

The sound of shattering glass suddenly came from below the stage, like two shattered hearts. Everyone turned to look, only to see that the goblet in Xiang Chen Xi's hand had dropped. He looked at the stage blankly, looking at Tao Chu Liang's calm and composed face. He did not know how he said those words calmly.

Li Li looked at the broken glass beside her feet. She could clearly feel that Xiang Chen Xi beside her was acting weirdly. Looking at the absent-minded Xiang Chen Xi and then looking at Tao Chu Liang who was looking straight ahead, Li Li frowned.

"But Miss Tao, didn't you already have an engagement with Item Total?" There were some reporters below the stage who knew about the two of them, and could not help but to look at Xiang Chen Xi who was not far away and ask.

Tao Chu Liang seemed to have already anticipated that someone would ask a question, and she said indifferently: "Item Total and I have already split up peacefully. We discovered that we were really not the most suitable people for each other. So, I hope that everyone can sincerely wish Qing Hao and me well. "

Everyone looked at each other, some people still could not believe what Tao Chu Liang said. Xiang Chen Xi's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She said that they had separated peacefully and suddenly felt that it was really funny. How could this woman say such words?

Xiang Chen Xi held Li Li's hand and walked towards the stage. The glass beneath his feet shattered under his stomp. As Qiao Qing Hao watched Xiang Chen Xi walk onto the stage, he thought that Xiang Chen Xi would lose his temper and shouted in a low voice: "Chen Xi, what are you trying to do?"

Xiang Chen Xi didn't even look at him, he pulled Li Li along to stand beside Tao Chu Liang, took the microphone from her hands, and smiled: "CEO Tao is right, we have truly broken up in peace. And we've both found people who really fit into each other. " Xiang Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Li Li gently. Li Li did not understand what he meant.

Tao Chu Liang's body seemed to have trembled at his side. CEO Tao, what a strange name.

Xiang Chen Xi continued to say: "By the way, everyone, Li Li and I are also going to get married. And what a coincidence, it will be in three days. When that time comes, everyone should remember to show respect! "

Qiao Qing Hao felt that the hand he was holding onto was trembling.

Xiang Chen Xi brought Li Li who was still in a daze down the stage. This time, everyone believed that this couple, who used to be lovers, had truly broken up in peace! Clapping sounds came from below the stage, but Tao Chu Liang felt like she was in an icehouse. Was what Chen Xi said true?

"Xiang Chen Xi, have you gone mad? Do you know what you were saying just now? " Sheng Jue pulled Xiang Chen Xi to a place where there was no one around, and immediately roared at him.

"I'm crazy! Didn't you hear what the woman said? " Xiang Chen Xi pointed to the hall.

"Chu Liang, she!" Sheng Jue swallowed his words back. Why did things become like this! He shouldn't have agreed to Chu Liang's suggestion!

"Chen Xi, you can't marry Li Li." Chen Shu said.

Li Li was suddenly a little angry at the side. "Sheng Jue, Chen Shu, no matter what, we grew up together, don't tell me you think I am inferior to Tao Chu Liang?"

"You can't say that!" Chen Shu frowned.

But just then, Tao Chu Liang walked out with Qiao Qing Hao. Everyone stopped talking, Chen Shu and Sheng Jue felt especially sad when they saw Chu Liang.

"CEO Tao, congratulations to you. You're going to marry another man so soon. I didn't notice that you were quite amorous. " Xiang Chen Xi said to Tao Chu Liang with a smile on his face. Only, he felt that Tao Chu Liang's face seemed to have become even more pale than before.

Chen Shu and Sheng Jue's expression were both somewhat ugly, these words, had truly embarrassed Chu Liang too much.

"Chen Xi, I don't object to your marriage. However, you don't even like Li Li, what's the point of you doing this? " When Tao Chu Liang said this, he felt that it was difficult to even breathe.

"You must be mistaken. If you didn't interfere, Li Li and I would have already been married." In everyone's shock, Xiang Chen Xi kissed Li Li.
