To My Dear Mr. Huo

Li Junsheng had no intention of coming to this banquet before. However, the Ning family has a good momentum of development in Qingcheng. And he is also on good terms with the Zhan family, the Lu family, and the Dong family.

Mr. Ning's father, Mr. Ning, also had dealings with the Li family. So after receiving the invitation from Mr. Ning, Li Junsheng decided to show up.

He had just finished delivering the gifts and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he saw Ye Zhen.

The little girl was wearing a long white dress today. Different from the smart look she had seen in the past few times, the little girl dressed up like this looked a little more elegant.

Now she was standing in the corridor, and the bright light above her head allowed him to clearly see her expression.

It was completely different from the banquet hall just now. There was a bit of ridicule, a bit of fun, and a bit of schadenfreude on her lips.

He couldn't help but frown at the little girl who didn't know how to protect himself. Suddenly I felt a little upset.

The hand that was still squeezing Ye Ninghan suddenly moved away. Because of his actions, Ye Ninghan took two or three steps back to stabilize her body.

"Uncle Li."

Ye Ninghan didn't expect to meet Li Junsheng, let alone let him see this side of herself. She is still trying to figure out how to hook up with Li Junsheng again, but who knows——

"Miss Ye, if you can, please invite me, Mayor Li."

Li Junsheng never likes to use his official position to pressure people, but he doesn't mind using it today: "I wonder what Ye Zhen did? To make you, my sister, do something to her?"

"I, I didn't." Ye Ninghan couldn't argue. She looked at Ye Zhen, who was standing silently behind Li Junsheng, and suddenly realized her malicious intentions.

She must have noticed Li Junsheng's arrival early in the morning, so she was standing there. It's really vicious.

"With or without my eyes, I can see." Li Junsheng was quite rude: "Miss Ye, I hope this is the last time. If I see you making things difficult for Ye Zhen again, don't blame me for being rude."

His eyes were cold and quite sharp. Ye Ninghan was so frightened by him that she trembled and couldn't say anything to defend herself.

Li Junsheng didn't look at her twice and turned to face Ye Zhen: "Are you okay?"

Ye Zhen shook his head, she was fine. In fact, if Li Junsheng didn't take action just now, she would be fine. After all, she was a grappler, so how could she really let Ye Ninghan hit her?

But this feeling is a bit strange. Since her mother's death, this was the first time someone besides her uncle and grandpa stood in front of her to protect her.

Ye Zhen couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Looking at Li Junsheng's profile, his heart moved.

Li Junsheng looked at her dumbfounded look and thought she was scared. Pulling her body closer to him: "Do you want to go back?"

go back? Where to go back? Ye Zhen reacted and shook his head.

Li Junsheng nodded: "Let's go. Since we said hello, there's no point in leaving like this."

Well. Is this still possible? Ye Zhen blinked her eyes. She had never been so willful, but for Li Junsheng, this was nothing more than a simple matter.

Holding Ye Zhen's hand and walking outside, there is no need to give other people more face. If he is willing to come today, he will give them face.

It wasn't until he got into the car that Ye Zhen realized: "Uncle Li, um, this is not good, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with it." Li Junsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Or do you want to go back?"

Ye Zhen shook her head. In fact, she didn't like such an occasion very much. But wouldn’t it be good to just leave like this?

"I haven't told Mr. Ning yet."

"It doesn't matter." Li Junsheng took her hand and led her outside: "He won't care."

There are so many people here today, one less and one more, it makes no difference at all. Ye Zhen just got into Li Junsheng's car.

After getting in the car, Ye Zhen pulled her long skirt and sat aside carefully. Secretary Chen was still driving. This time he didn't even look back.

"That stepsister of yours always bullies you?"

"ah?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that the stepsister he was talking about was Ye Ninghan, and shook his head: "It's okay."

Speaking of bullying, Ye Ninghan was no match for her.

Li Junsheng misunderstood her meaning: "Like what you did just now, you should hide away. Why are you standing there and letting her hit you?"

How could she let her get beaten? Ye Zhen wanted to explain, but when she saw the unmistakable concern in Li Junsheng's eyes, she fell silent.

Since her mother's death, apart from her maternal uncle and Ling Xuan, she has not received any attention from others for a long time.

"You haven't eaten? What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." After Ye Zhen said this, he suddenly smiled: "I don't seem to be suitable for eating out, right?"

Li Junsheng looked her up and down, turned to look at Secretary Chen in front of him, and said a place name.

Ye Zhen knew the place he was talking about. A very famous revolving western restaurant in Qingcheng. The chef is French. The French food they cook is quite authentic, but there are also clothing requirements for every guest who goes to dine there.

"It doesn't have to be so grand, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Only by going there can I live up to your outfit today."

After entering the restaurant, the two people were taken to a seat by the window and sat down. It was already the time when the lanterns were on. From this angle, you can just see the night view of Qingcheng.

This is a landmark building in Qingcheng. When it was first built, Ye Zhen and his mother came here once.

But not long after dining here, my mother passed away. After that, she never came again.

"What do you like to eat?" Li Junsheng looked at the French menu in front of him and asked Ye Zhen for his opinion.

"You order it. I can do it."

Recalling his mother Lu Hui always makes Ye Zhen a little sad. In fact, every time she saw Chen Wan, who looked petty and careless, she didn't understand whether Ye Nanshan was blind. If he wasn't blind, why would he fall in love with such a worthless woman instead of loving his mother?

Li Junsheng ordered his meal and looked at Ye Zhen after the waiter left.

"What's wrong? Still thinking about your stepsister?"

"No." Ye Zhen shook his head and said in a very soft voice, "I've only been here once."

"My mother brought me here eleven years ago. At that time, this place had just opened. But not long after, my mother passed away..."

"Sorry. I didn't expect that."

"It doesn't matter." Anyway, it's been a long time. She has also learned to let go.

"Do you want to drink? The red wine here is good. Do you want to try it?"

Ever since what happened last time, Ye Zhen wouldn't think about drinking alone outside. But if that person is Li Junsheng, it should be okay, right?

"Okay, just have two drinks, but I'm a bad drinker."

"Don't worry, if you are drunk, I will send you home properly."

"Then thank you first."

Ye Zhen smiled. It had been a long time since she had tried to get along with someone so easily. This is a feeling. Being with Li Junsheng feels very relaxed.

Li Junsheng smiled. At this time, the night outside was getting darker. The lights are shining and the revolving restaurant rotates once every hour and a half. They had just enough time to eat to take in the entire night view of Qingcheng.

Ye Zhen actually hasn't relaxed like this for a long time. Especially since what happened to the Cowherd last time.

"Look, that's Jiang Hui Company over there."

She pointed at a certain point, and Li Junsheng followed her gaze. When he met her eyes that were as bright as stars, his eyes dimmed slightly.

"You care about your dad's company?"

"No, it's a company that cares about my mother."

Ye Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked at him seriously: "Jiang Hui, one day in the future, will definitely include my mother's name. Back then, my father founded it from scratch with my mother. It is not his. "

"Is that so?"

"Of course." Ye Zhen nodded: "My mother spent all her savings, including my grandfather's savings, to start a business for my father. Later, it became successful. My mother's contribution is part of this, as is my contribution. Grandpa’s credit.”

But unexpectedly, Ye Nanshan could share the hardships with his wife, but not the joys. Once he had money, status, and started the company, he changed his mind.

She remembered that in the following years, although her mother seemed fine on the surface, she was often depressed.

"Forget it, don't mention this."

Li Junsheng saw the flash of loneliness on her face, and suddenly made a suggestion: "Have you ever thought about making the company yours?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this. All she could think about was keeping her mother's share——

"This seems unrealistic."

"As long as you want, you can." Li Junsheng looked at her. After all, the little girl was too kind-hearted and never thought of taking the company into her hands.

Ye Zhen never thought about this, she picked up the wine in front of her and took a sip. Well, in fact, she really had this idea, and she was unwilling to do so.

Why should another person take advantage of the company that my mother established and supported with one hand?

Why? What she had thought about was just how to achieve her goal more easily.

The waiter started serving the dishes at this time, and Li Junsheng smiled.

"Let's eat first."

"good."

The food is delicious and the environment is nice. The meal was in a good atmosphere.

After the main meal was served, it was time to wait for dessert. Ye Zhen couldn't help but glance at Li Junsheng: "Uncle Li, if I really want to take over my father's company -"

"Do you really have this idea?"

"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded, with a flash of coldness in his expression: "I want to make the company mine."

If Ye Jianhao was born long after his mother passed away, Ye Zhen wouldn't hate him so much.

But Ye Nanshan gave birth to Ye Jianhao less than half a year after marrying Chen Wan, and the mother's body was still cold. He's like this——

"Do you think I'm too cruel?"

"No." Li Junsheng shook his head: "If you are not cruel, your stepsister and stepmother will not let you go."

"Yes." Ye Zhen chuckled, with obvious sarcasm in his eyes: "Even if I do nothing, they will still deal with me."

"Do you need my help?"

Li Junsheng's words stunned Ye Zhen for a moment. She did not answer immediately, but shook her head hesitantly.

"Why are you helping me? Just because of my grandpa?"

"Not entirely." This feeling is a bit strange. For Li Junsheng, he felt that he met a little girl who made him feel good.

"That is--"

Just as Li Junsheng was about to speak, his cell phone rang. She glanced at Ye Zhen: "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."

The phone number belonged to Huo Jinyao. It was not convenient for Li Junsheng to investigate the previous matter in a big way, so he asked Huo Jinyao.

"Tsk. I can't see it. After going to Qingcheng, you still have such a beautiful blessing."

When he learned about this at that time, Huo Jinyao's joke made Li Junsheng speechless: "If you want such a blessing, I can give it to you."

"No need." Huo Jinyao felt a chill: "I don't want to sleep on the sofa at night."

"The tutor is so strict? It seems that my younger siblings are good charioteers."

"My tutor has always been very strict." Huo Jinyao didn't mind the image of his strict wife, which left Li Junsheng speechless. However, even if Huo Jinyao was a strict wife, it was very reliable not to get confused when doing business.

"I've checked what you asked me to check. I've already sent it to your email."

"Okay, thank you."

"Thank you for what?" Huo Jinyao smiled: "Next time you come back to Rongcheng, just have a few more drinks with me."

After hanging up the phone, Li Junsheng's cell phone buzzed with an email notification.

He clicked it casually, and the content inside made his expression change slightly. Raising his head, he looked at Ye Zhen.

Dessert has been served after the meal, and Ye Zhen is eating the cake with a fork. The chocolate chips on it stuck to the corners of her lips.

Noticing him looking at her, she smiled at him. Pushed another dessert in front of him.

Li Junsheng did not take the dessert. He lowered his head and read all the information on his hand. Not much, just a few pages, most of which are pictures, just flip through it and it's over.

The email was dragged to the bottom, and Li Junsheng never looked up.

His expression was so serious that Ye Zhen thought he had something important to deal with and concentrated on eating the dessert without any intention of disturbing him.

Li Junsheng read the survey information again. Then he put down his phone.

"Uncle Li, do you have something to do?"

Ye Zhen has almost finished the dessert. She knew that the other party was the mayor and very busy: "If you have something to do, you can go and do your business first."

There's no rush for her.

Li Junsheng said nothing, he just stared at Ye Zhen's face. Ye Zhen felt uncomfortable when he saw him: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

She knew she would blush if she drank, but she only had two drinks.

"Yes." Li Junsheng nodded. He suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on Ye Zhen's lips across the dining table: "There's chocolate here."

Ye Zhen was embarrassed and just wanted to wipe it off. Li Junsheng moved one step faster than her and gently wiped the corners of her lips.

Warm fingertips brushed the corner of her lips, and she was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she just stared at him blankly.

"Uncle Li?"

"It's okay." Taking his hand back, Li Junsheng glanced at the dessert in front of him: "Are you full? Or I'll give you this too."

"I'm stuffed."

His voice was too gentle, not just the sound. Ye Zhen always felt a strange feeling when he looked at him and touched him with his fingers. She couldn't help but tell herself that she was overthinking, but in fact, nothing happened.

Nothing can happen.

"Yes." Li Junsheng nodded and looked out the window. The revolving restaurant had already moved to the other side.

There is the largest amusement park in Qingcheng. The Ferris wheel inside is now lit up and looks very gorgeous.

Ye Zhen glanced in the direction over there. She had drank two glasses of wine and was not drunk, but her eyes were a little blurred.

"What a nice view."

"Want to go?" Li Junsheng looked at the time: "Let's go now."

"Isn't it too late?"

"Let's go."

Li Junsheng stood up first when he spoke. She stood up, and Ye Zhen also stood up.

"Uncle Li?"

"Don't you want to go?"

When did she say she wanted to go? She just said that the lights over there are beautiful. But Ye Zhen glanced in the direction of the Ferris wheel. This amusement park was newly built this year.

She really hasn't been there yet. When the park first opened, she felt there were too many people, and she hated crowded places. There is no time to come again.

"OK."

Ye Zhen nodded, his attitude was generous and calm. Li Junsheng smiled. The little girl was not coy or pretentious, which was very good.

After getting off the revolving restaurant, Secretary Chen's car was already waiting at the door.

It takes about half an hour to drive to the amusement park here. Li Junsheng glanced at Ye Zhen: "If you feel tired, you can take a rest first."

Ye Zhen shook her head, but the alcohol began to slowly increase, and she was really a little dizzy. She leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes.

Li Junsheng looked at her profile, took out his phone and read the email just now.

The photo isn't particularly clear, but it's enough.

In addition to the investigation that night, there is also a piece of information on Ye Zhen. Not much, just two simple pages, which can be regarded as a clear explanation of her life.

Li Junsheng has no interest in those lives. The information you should know is similar to what Ye Zhen said before.

The only thing that Li Junsheng didn't expect was that Ye Zhen was the woman who disappeared without a trace after spending the night with him that night.

His eyes fell on Ye Zhen again. She was not really asleep, she was just resting with her eyes closed.

As if sensing someone was watching, she opened her eyes and looked directly into Li Junsheng's gaze. The dim carriage was illuminated by flickering lights from the street lamps on both sides.

This made Li Junsheng's eyes become increasingly dark and unpredictable. Why does he look at her like this?

"Uncle Li?"

The car turned in front, and Ye Zhen, who was unprepared, fell into his arms.

Li Junsheng hugged her waist in time and gently brought her body into his arms.

"Sit down."

"Oh." The alcohol made Ye Zhen's reaction a little slower. She didn't feel the hand on her waist. She just opened her eyes and looked at Li Junsheng: "Uncle Li, why do you look at me like this?"

The breath she exhaled was slightly alcoholic. Li Junsheng narrowed his eyes. Looking at the red lips so close, he looked away.

"Just sleep a little longer, we'll be there in a while."

"good."

It's not that Ye Zhen wants to sleep, but the atmosphere in front of him is a bit strange. She couldn't blame her.

Closing her eyes, she finally realized what was wrong. Just now, she fell into Li Junsheng's arms because she couldn't sit firmly because the car was turning.

And he is still holding her. His hands were placed on her waist. Her back was pressed against his chest——

Ha ha ha ha. Our Uncle Li finally knows. Guess what Uncle Li will do? Hee hee, continue tomorrow.
