Chapter 30
Chapter 30 – A Nice and Innocent Man (1)
His eyes widened horribly from anger. How dare He Ming still have the balls to blackmail him after he had run away?
Was he not worried that he’d just take him to court?
That very moment, Li WangJin had a strong desire to go to the cops, except he quickly suppressed his desire. He had sadly come to the realization that he wouldn’t dare to do that. Had he done that, the whole thing would blow up and his reputation would truly be ruined. For someone like him, there was nothing he worried more than losing face.
The amount that He Ming was blackmailing him for wasn’t worth him taking that risk, even though that would mean that he’d lose half of the amount that he had transferred over the last ten years. He Ming was, after all, someone that he had worked for over ten years. He knew him only too well.
Li WangJin had always thought that having He Ming’s son in his hand and arranging a few people to watch over He Ming was sufficient. After all, Li WangJin had always perceived himself as being above He Ming. Never would he have expected that the man he had looked down upon would turn around and set up him instead.
Li WangJin breathed heavily. His veins propped up on the back of his hands like poisonous snakes.
One of these days, he’d get back at He Ming. There was no way He Ming could remain hidden forever.
His eyes were filled with distress.
The chauffeur accidentally looked in the rearview mirror and saw his look. He was startled and even his driving speed slowed down.
After Li WangJin got out of the car, he had already recollected himself. He wanted to still be that gentleman in front of Wang SiXian. He bought a new phone for himself before he reached the restaurant and also one for his chauffeur.
As much as he tried to hide his emotions, Wang SiXian had still picked up a little of it. Her tone was even more gentle and tender. It blew away some of the dark emotions inside Li WangJin.
Li WangJin was glad that he had brought Wang SiXian back. If he was in front of his wife right now, he wasn’t sure if he would still be able to keep everything under wrap.
The atmosphere between them became more suggestive over the meal. Wang SiXian told him softly what had happened since she had returned to the country, and Li WangJin also brought up Jiang YaGe and expressed that he would bring Jiang YaGe with him to visit her in the next few days so the two of them could reunite.
As they were chatting, their heads got closer and closer together. Of course, Li WangJin was completely oblivious to that. He just felt that Wang SiXian was a very thoughtful person and everything she said made him feel good.
“Boss Li,” came a somewhat familiar male voice.
Li WangJin turned around and looked over in the voice’s direction and saw a middle-aged man in full suit. He quickly realized that it was Boss Su, a man who he has a business relationship with.
He reflexively pulled away from Wang SiXian a bit as he nodded slightly to greet the man. “Boss Su.”
Boss Su walked over in front of him. He gave Wang SiXian a few looks and with a suggestive smile, he said, “So that’s what you like, Boss Li.”
Wang SiXian didn’t know what to say, so she lowered her head.
Li WangJin wanted to explain. “No, she’s just a good friend of mine.”
Boss Su winked at him. “I get it. I have a few good friends like that as well.” He chatted a bit with Li WangJin regarding their businesses and was about to leave. Before leaving, he took another look at Wang SiXian and said, “Boss Li, it’s normal for people like us to have good friends like that, but you must remember that the most important thing is still your wife at home.
“Not to mention that Boss Fong has always been so nice to you. Just look, how many others would be like her and let you spend billions on your hobby without saying a word. It wouldn’t be right to wrong her.
“Besides, outside women are only there for your money. Don’t be too serious about it.” He glanced over at Wang SiXian as he was talking. Wang SiXian was so upset at his words that her eyes had reddened.
Boss Su only reminded Li WangJin because he could tell from the way that Li WangJin was interacting with the woman that he was a bit serious there. He couldn’t care less about how the woman felt.
Li WangJin’s face turned green right away – how was it that everyone knew how much he had been spending on antiques and paintings?
