CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224: I DON’T WANT AN EMPTY TITLE

Liu Shiyan was excited, waiting for Ningwan to reveal her plan against Li Qingqing.

Instead, Ningwan said, "I have no plan, that’s why I came to you."

"Why?"

"Li Qingqing managed to deal with such a big scandal swiftly before, don’t you know the reason?" Ningwan asked.

Liu Shiyan thought for a moment, "I know a little, but haven’t verified it specifically."

"So, who is her boss?"

Liu Shiyan bit her lip.

Ningwan said, "If you won’t even tell me that, there’s no need for us to cooperate."

"I can’t afford to offend this person. Even Zhan Hanjue wouldn’t want to offend him."

Liu Shiyan wrote a name on the table with water.

Ningwan saw the name and slightly frowned. She was not familiar with the high society, so she didn’t recognize the name.

"Is this person powerful?"

"Of course," Liu Shiyan said, "he’s the king of the entertainment industry, controlling half of it. He has a wide range of interests: entertainment, information, electronics. In short, he’s very powerful. I don’t know how Li Qingqing got him to back her up. It’s infuriating to think about it."

"Could it be that he’s Li Qingqing’s secret lover?" Ningwan asked.

Liu Shiyan shook her head, "No, this man is already over fifty. Of course, in this industry, older men are the most sought after at this age, still charming and capable. But it’s unlikely for this man; many actresses want something to happen with him, but none have succeeded."

"Why?" Ningwan was curious.

Liu Shiyan replied, "Because he’s a notorious wife-doter and is very affectionate towards his current wife. It’s said his current wife is a great beauty. With such a beauty, would he even look at other women?"

"I see, then it’s strange why he’s supporting Li Qingqing."

"Maybe his son likes her, who knows? Li Qingqing has him as her backing, so she can move smoothly in the entertainment industry. But now we should be thinking of ways to stop her from marrying Zhan Hanjue, not digging up these secrets. If she marries Zhan Hanjue, she’d truly reign supreme. With such a big boss behind her and married to a man like Zhan Hanjue, it will be even harder to topple her in the future," Liu Shiyan said angrily.

Ningwan said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let her succeed. But we also need to know her background."

"What do you need me to do?" Liu Shiyan asked quickly.

Ningwan smirked and waved her over.

Liu Shiyan hurriedly approached, listening intently.

******

Li Qingqing angrily smashed things in the room.

Everything in the room was thrown to the ground, a complete mess.

Xiao Ke stood at the door, too scared to move, let alone persuade her.

Finally, after Li Qingqing vented her anger, she suddenly rushed to Xiao Ke, grabbed her shoulders, and questioned, "Tell me, how am I inferior to Ningwan? Why does Zhan Hanjue like her and not me?"

"Qingqing, you’re great, you’re outstanding. You’re better and more outstanding than many women. If you don’t like Mr. Zhan, many people would like you," Xiao Ke said with both pity and fear.

Sure enough, Li Qingqing furiously pushed her away.

Xiao Ke staggered back, almost falling to the ground, luckily catching the wall beside her.

The floor was a mess, filled with debris.

If she fell, she surely would get hurt.

"I’ve liked him for ten years, why should I give up? No one can make me give him up, no one," Li Qingqing screamed hysterically.

Xiao Ke dared not speak further.

She had only been with her for three years.

But even so, she witnessed her madness over these three years.

She would stop at nothing to get Zhan Hanjue.

Even using her body as bait.

"I have to find him; yes, I have to find him. I need to let him know he can only marry me, only be with me."

Li Qingqing suddenly muttered crazily, changed her clothes, and left the apartment.

Xiao Ke quickly called cleaning services to tidy up, took her belongings, and chased after her.

Li Qingqing arrived at Zhan Hanjue’s company.

Just in time to encounter Chen Tan.

Chen Tan saw her and reached out to stop her, "Miss Li, the boss is busy."

"You dare stop me?" Li Qingqing said fiercely.

Chen Tan calmly said, "I’m the boss’s executive assistant. During the boss’s work period, I am responsible for maintaining his work environment."

"What responsibility? I’m the future wife of the Zhan Group’s president. You dare to stop me? Do you want to quit?" Li Qingqing arrogantly questioned.

Chen Tan chuckled, "I like this job very much, but the person who decides whether I stay is not the president’s wife, but the president himself."

"You... presumptuous."

Li Qingqing raised her hand to slap.

"Stop."

But the slap didn’t land, as Zhan Hanjue reprimanded her.

Zhan Hanjue came out of the office, scolding Li Qingqing with a cold face, "I think you’re the one acting presumptuously. What kind of place do you think this is, to cause trouble here?"

"Hanjue, you’re finally out. Your assistant was too much, treating me like this. I was frightened, he bullied me."

Li Qingqing feigned delicacy and threw herself at Zhan Hanjue, complaining to him.

But Zhan Hanjue dodged her immediately, preventing her from hitting him.

Li Qingqing felt lonely, both angry and helpless.

She bit her lip, feeling wronged, and asked, "Hanjue, we are about to get married in three days. Do you have to treat me this way?"

Zhan Hanjue looked at her coldly without a word, got up, and returned to his office.

Li Qingqing quickly followed.

Chen Tan wanted to stop her, but Li Qingqing ignored him.

Xiao Ke wanted to follow in but was stopped by Chen Tan.

"It’s one thing for her to go in, but you want to go in too?"

Xiao Ke said urgently, "I need to follow Miss Li."

"Follow what? Your Miss Li can’t wait to be alone with our president. If you go in, you’ll only get scolded. Get out of here," Chen Tan scolded.

Xiao Ke thought, that’s true.

Her Miss Li can’t wait to be alone with Mr. Zhan, and if she went in, she’d definitely get scolded.

But she was also afraid Miss Li would go crazy; what if she really lost it when she wasn’t there?

Worried, she was sent away by Chen Tan.

She didn’t dare go far, staying near the elevator.

In the office.

Li Qingqing followed Zhan Hanjue inside.

Once inside, she again tried to hug him from behind.

But Zhan Hanjue again dodged her.

Li Qingqing angrily questioned, "Zhan Hanjue, what do you mean? There’s only three days until we’re married and you won’t even let me touch you. What, do you plan to stay faithful to Ningwan even after we’re married, and never be a real couple with me?"

"You only asked to marry you," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Li Qingqing sneered, "Do you think all I want is to marry you, just for a hollow title? Zhan Hanjue, I want to live with you like a normal couple, have a life together, have children. Not just hold the empty title of Madam Zhan."
