The air suddenly fell silent.
Third Master LI found himself at a loss for words, realizing only now that the
office was not solely occupied by the boss of the Great Xia Escort Agency.
The man, dressed in a dark gray suit, his white shirt and tie impeccable, sat in a wheelchair, exuding an air of nobility.
Outsiders might not recognize Yu Xiheng, but Third Master LI, a well-known figure in the social circles of Sijiu, certainly did.
His throat felt dry as he stammered, “ShiYan, what are you doing here? Why didn’t you say anything? I didn’t even see you when I walked in. You... this...”DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Yu Xiheng did not look up, his response indifferent, “There’s an optometry hospital across the street.”
Third Master LI, his face flushing with embarrassment, struggled to find the words to reply.
The crisp sound of a teacup placed on the table broke the awkward silence.
Yu Xiheng finally looked up. “I requested the escort service. It seems you have some objections.”
“No, no, not at all!” Cold sweat broke out on Third Master Ll’s back as he hurriedly spoke, “My mistake, Mr-Mr. Yu. I was unaware that the ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ crew was your investment. I was misled by malicious gossip!”
“I’ll fire those who fed me this nonsense once I’m back. And the expenses for this escort mission will be covered by me, as an apology to Mr. Yu.”
Yu Xiheng glanced at the boss.
The boss understood and brought out the POS machine.
Third Master Ll’s expression changed, “This is...”
Returning to the LI residence dejectedly, he found Gu Zhinan still in his room.
Upon his arrival, she immediately approached him. “Third Master, about the
Great Xia Escort Agency—”
Before she could finish, her arm was harshly pushed away.
“Take your things and leave,” Third Master LI said angrily. “And don’t come back.”
Gu Zhinan’s eyes widened in shock. “Third Master?!”
“Can’t you understand me?” Third Master LI was impatient, forcibly pushing her towards the door. “I’ve given you enough in the past. It’d be wise not to be ungrateful.”
The additional expenditure of fifty million, along with the humiliation in front of Yu Xiheng, made him loathe Gu Zhinan.
Completely bewildered by what had transpired, Gu Zhinan found herself locked out by the butler.
Fortunately, the LI residence was well-secluded; otherwise, she would have been headline news immediately.
Trembling, she contacted her agent.
Sister Hua arrived in shock. “What happened? Did you upset Mr. LI? Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a sponsor like Mr. LI in the entertainment industry?”
Biting her lip, her complexion pale, Gu Zhinan replied, “I... I didn’t do anything...”
Indeed.
Third Master LI wasn’t known for any vices and was generally generous.
She had heard of some patrons who could be cruel.
“No? Then why were you thrown out for no reason?” Sister Hua scolded, frustrated. “Get in the car. Don’t go out for a while.. What if you were photographed looking like this?”
