The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 478: Li Nanli Brags About His Perfect Relationship - 2

The night was getting darker.

The moon was hanging high in the sky and the lights in the mansion were bright. Holding his phone in his hand, Li Nanli came out of the study and sat on a couch.

The shareholders and the male employees in the WeChat group were scared and they did not know what they should do.

At the same time, Gu Yanqi, who got invited into the WeChat group as well, made a call to Jiang Jinshu.

However, perhaps Jiang Jinshu was working on other things right now, he did not pick up Gu Yanqi’s call. It was only when he had finished reading the documents and picked his phone that he saw Gu Yanqi’s messages.

Gu Yanqi, [Have you seen the document in the WeChat group?]

Gu Yanqi, [I think this is a code red situation. Fu Zhi might have broken up with Li Nanli, and he’s here looking for his second target!]

Gu Yanqi, [???]

Gi Yanqi, [Why aren’t you replying to my messages? Are you secretly taking screenshots of my text messages to send to Li Nanli? How can you betray me?!]

Gu Yanqi, [If you’re not dead, can you please say something?]

Jiang Jinshu was speechless. He clicked into the WeChat group and took a look at the document containing the essay. The corner of his lips quivered as he read through the essay and he had the urge to wash his eyes with water.

[I’m calming down.]

When Gu Yanqi received his text message, he immediately sent a voice message to him.

“Have you read it?” Gu Yanqi lit up a cigarette. He was on his way back to the Li mansion right now, and he had another 10 minutes before arriving at the mansion. However, he had no idea why but he could not shake off the sense of hesitation and panic that rose from the bottom of his heart.

The wind was strong and he was scared. “Has Nanli finally gone insane?”

“Well, we don’t have to worry so much if he has only gone insane,” Jiang Jinshu said.

“Didn’t you suspect that Fu Zhi broke up with him? I think your conjecture is not entirely baseless.”

Although Fu Zhi was a good-for-nothing girl, Jiang Jinshu could clearly sense the difference in strength between him and Fu Zhi.

“You see, he likes Fu Zhi so much, so there’s a good chance that he could not accept it when Fu Zhi broke up with him. That’s why he’s looking to have a one-night stand with us.”

Gu Yanqi felt his heart was in his throat when he heard what Jiang Jinshu had said, “Are… are you sure about that? Well, you might be right about him being unable to accept the fact that Fu Zhi broke up with him, but there are more than 100 people inside the WeChat group. There’s no way he’s looking to have a one-night stand with each of us.”

“You don’t understand. This is called widen your options. As long as someone takes the bait, it’ll be his victory.”

Gu Yanqi became speechless.

“But no one in the group takes the bait yet. I’m going back to the Li mansion right now, and I’m really scared. The moon is extremely bright tonight, and what if he turns into a werewolf and forces me? I don’t want to give my first kiss to him!”

“There are three things which are unfilial, and to have no posterity is the greatest of them.” Jiang Jinshu said as he took a look at his current location. He was in Myanmar right now, so he did not have to worry about getting dragged onto the bed by Li Nanli. He felt relieved and he continued, “Right? Just don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

“Don’t worry? How can I not worry?” Gu Yanqi replied, “I’m his friend and I’m more than willing to help him when he’s in trouble, but that doesn’t include sleeping with him! What should I do?”

“If you’re really worried about it, one thing you can do is tighten your belt and get yourself dressed up nicely.”

Gu Yanqi did not know what to say.

Although there was a slim chance that Li Nanli would suddenly appear in Myanmar, considering how rich Li Nanli was, nothing was impossible. Therefore, Jiang Jinshu thought for a while and decided to write an 800-word essay that said something like although they were good brothers and he was willing to help him at all cost, he would never fall in love with him and he would not sleep with him.

Jiang Jinshu did not put his essay in a document and he just sent it as a text message into the WeChat group. The moment his message was sent, Li Nanli removed him from the group. Not only that, but he also told Liu Mi to send Jiang Jinshu to Africa.

The rest of the people in the WeChat group were shocked to their cores when they saw Jiang Jinshu’s fate for refusing to be the almighty and powerful Li Nanli’s bed partner.

A certain senior executive in the WeChat group took a look at his wife, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and thought about his kids…

Feeling the burden of life on his shoulders, the man wiped the tears off his eyes and said resolutely, [President Li, pick me! I can do it!]

As if a stone had dropped into a lake and caused a series of ripples, the moment he sent his message to the group, a few middle-aged men also chimed in.

[I can do it as well, President Li.]

[President Li, my lips are tighter!]

[President Li, if you don’t mind me asking, how much money are you going to pay us? Well, my body is too weak to stand the racket. I might need to go to the hospital afterward, so I hope you can understand.]

Li Nanli was both stunned and dumbfounded when he saw their messages.

He only wanted them to praise how much his girlfriend loved him, so he did not know what had gotten into their heads and why they were behaving so strangely.

‘Did their brains fail to develop properly before they’re born?’

Li Nanli kicked all of them out of the WeChat group and he even began to wonder if he should fire all of them.

There were only 90 members left in the group, including Gu Yanqi, who was crying like a giant baby in the snow.

He had always had a soft heart. He always faced the difficulty of rejecting other people, and he kept carrying all the problems on his own.

The WeChat group went silent for a few seconds straight. Before Liu Mi could come out and save the day, a certain employee of the Li Corporation asked carefully, [President Li, I remember you have a girlfriend, right? Is this the love letter she wrote for you?]

‘Oh, bugger,’ Liu Mi swore inwardly.

As expected, Li Nanli pulled at the wool blanket on his body and asked,[What makes you think so?]

Feeling motivated, the employer became even more confident and began charming Li Nanli up, [This is because I can see that the author has put a lot of effort into the essay. Each and every word that she uses is filled with her love for you, and besides from your girlfriend, I’m afraid only your mother can love you like this!]

Li Nanli was stumped for a moment before he replied, [You’re right. She loves me to the bone. She has never asked me for a single penny after she gave me a treatment. She is the first to come to help when people around me are injured. She has given me a red packet before, and she has bought candies for me before. She voluntarily joined the International Physics competition so that she could be good enough for me. She hates when a woman comes close to me, and she even competed with a woman and nearly broke her skull when she went to the capital last time.]

The crowd was speechless, bereft of words.

‘So? What has it got to do with us?’

It was only now that they realized Li Nanli was showing off his girlfriend’s love to them. Although they were speechless for his action and they all felt he should go to bed right now, they still went along with him and said, [Wow! Your girlfriend really loves you a lot, President Li!]

[I’ve never seen such a beautiful love story before in my life. Promise me, President Li. You two must stay with each other till death do you apart, or I’ll never believe in love again!]

[President Li is the best man in the world, and your girlfriend has chosen the right person!]

…

The people in the WeChat group praised the love between Li Nanli and his girlfriend in glowing terms for a few minutes straight until the last shareholder of the company ended the entire conversation with a wish of his own.

After the WeChat group had come to complete silence, Li Nanli then sent 10 red packets containing 2 yuan to the group.

The crowd did not know what to say, and they all began to wonder if the Li Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy or not.

Well, Li Nanli felt embarrassed as well, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had to save his money for his girlfriend.

Gu Yanqi was one of the people who successfully got the red packet. He felt relieved after he realized he had misunderstood Li Nanli for wanting to sleep with him. He heaved out a sigh and said, [It’s getting late, so why don’t we all go to bed now?]

Then, just when Gu Yanqi wanted to say something again, he realized the red exclamation mark next to his messages.

System notification: You are no longer a member of this group.

Gu Yanqi was baffled.

Li Nanli sent another 100 red packets containing 2 yuan to the group again. He let out a sigh and continued, [It’s indeed getting late, but I’m sure you guys won’t mind me taking some time to talk about my girlfriend with you guys, right?]

The crowd did not know what to say. Before any of them could say anything, Li Nanli continued, [I originally thought that I would double the bonus for this month for those who’re willing to stay up late and talk about my girlfriend with me, but… since Gu Yanqi said that you guys are tired, so let’s just adjourn.]

The crowd was stunned when they all saw Li Nanli’s text message.

‘Of course, we’re willing to spend the night with you! Gu Yanqi is nothing and he can’t represent all of us!’

[No, no, no, no! We’re very interested in knowing the things between you and your girlfriend, President Li!]

[We’re more than willing to listen to your story, sir!]

…

As such, Li Nanli continued, [Where were we just now? Oh yeah, my girlfriend even said something like she doesn’t even have a home in order to reject other men.]

Li Nanli went on for 3 hours straight till the small hours of the next morning.

They did not know if he was born with such a talent, Liu Mi felt that he would be wasting his talent if he did not work as a writer.

For younger employees, staying up for a whole night was nothing for them, but it was not the same case for some of the older executives and shareholders in the group. Money was not their priority anymore, and they just wanted to sleep.

On the one hand, Li Nanli lamented that they were not able to witness the great love between Fu Zhi and him, while on the other hand, he summed up his experience and said that perhaps next time he should brag about his love in advance so that more people could learn about it.

Those older employees and shareholders, who could barely keep their eyes open, nodded their heads and said that they were willing to listen to the great love story between him and Fu Zhi again in the future.

Li Nanli said it would not be long afterward, and the crowd had nothing to say.

Although it would be a torture process, they all felt it was worthwhile so long as he paid them double.

Li Nanli had Liu Mi compile a list of employees who praised the love between Fu Zhi and him and double their pay.

Liu Mi had to spend an entire night compiling the list and he sent it to Li Nanli the next morning.

The number of members still active in the WeChat group dropped from 90 to 30. One of the employees, whose name was Wang, was admitted into hospital after being beaten by his wife as she suspected him of cheating on her after seeing him staying up all night staring at his phone.

Liu Mi then asked, “Wang asked me to ask you, is this considered a work injury?”

“Yeah,” Li Nanli said. He had just returned home from a run. He went to the restroom to wash his face before he continued in a flat voice, “You have the list with you, right? Give it to Gu Yanqi. He’s going to pay for it.”

Gu Yanqi was eating his breakfast on the couch, and he was stunned when he heard what Li Nanli had said.

“Why does it have to be me?”

‘My company is on the verge of bankruptcy right now, and I don’t have any money left!’

“Here’s the reason. Zhizhi and I are moving towards the next stage of our relationship. She loves me to her core right now, so it’s only a matter of time before we get engaged and eventually married to each other. Therefore, I have to save up money for her and our kids in the future.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides, didn’t you get the red packet that I sent into the group yesterday?”

‘So?’

Li Nanli lifted his eyelids, looked at Gu Yanqi, and continued, “You took my red packet, so I don’t see anything wrong for you to lend me some money.”

‘There’s only 2 yuan inside the red packet!’ Gu Yanqi shouted inwardly. Then, he asked, “So when will you pay me back?”

“Ten years later,” Li Nanli said, “Just take it as I lend the money from you for my son. A dutiful son is obliged to pay his father’s debt, and not the other way round, so he will give you back the money after he grows up.”

Gu Yanqi was stumped.

He felt like he was having a dream. Ever since Li Nanli got to know Fu Zhi, he was getting more and more like her.

On the other side of the city, No.1 High School in Yu City.

The snow did not stop after Christmas. Unlike the summer holidays in previous years, winter break was close to the end of the year, and students at school were so unmotivated that they couldn’t muster much energy to study.

Director Liu waited every day in front of the school to catch students who were late or tried to skip classes.

Although Fu Zhi did not like going to school, she still attended the school every day.

When she reached her class, Su Xing was looking worriedly at her phone in her seat.

As Fu Zhi sat down in her seat, she asked, “Hey, are you okay?”

Su Xing had not been coming to the school a lot recently, and Fu Zhi was worried about her.

She looked at Fu Zhi with a sad face. Initially, she wanted to tell her about the Taobao shop that Mu Chenxi recommended to her. The medicines in the shop were too expensive and her friend could not afford it. However, when she thought that there was nothing Fu Zhi could do as well, she shook her head and forced a smile on her face. “Yeah. I’m fine.”

Fu Zhi knew that she was lying to her. Her eyes were red around the rims and there were tears in her eyes, so she was definitely not fine. However, Fu Zhi was not good at comforting other people, so she just frowned and handed her a paper towel.

Then, she patted Su Xing’s shoulders and said, “Don’t cry. Crying is bad for your health. The yin energy will invade your body and it can cause a series of issues such as heart disease.”

Su Xing was flabbergasted. She opened her mouth and said, “Is… Is it that serious? Then, will I die?”

“It’s hard to say,” Fu Zhi replied matter of factly.

Su Xing felt devastated as if it was the end of the world.

Song Fang, who sat behind them, heard their conversation. Although he was not a doctor like Fu Zhi, he had read a lot of good phrases from the internet. As such, he craned his neck forward and chimed in, “Shakespeare once said that no one in the world is worth crying for, and the one who is worth crying for, will never make you cry.”

Su Xing said, “I clearly remember that it’s one of the internet buzzwords.”

“That doesn’t matter. Xingxing, you probably should take a rest right now. Look at your eyes. They are so red, and I’m sure you have done your best,” Song Fang said as he got a cup of warm water for Su Xing.

The bell rang, and Fan Gaoda came into the class to start the lesson.

Seeing that Su Xing was still not in a good state, Fu Zhi said, “Don’t cry first. Fan Gaoda is here, so I can’t comfort you right now. You can save your tears until later when we go for lunch. I can comfort you at that time.”

Su Xing did not know what she should say.
