Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Heâs Just After a Novelty
Old Master Li didnât seem shocked at all by the news. His well-like eyes didnât show even the slightest ripple. His hands were clasped together on the table as he looked at Chi Enen, exuding an innate sense of oppression. âDo you really think that childâs play marriage certificate of yours has any validity in my presence?â
âI can clearly tell you that your so-called marriage is not legal in Country W. Strictly speaking, you two arenât even married!â
Chi Enen could feel the oppressive force. She met those eyes, which seemed to have everything under control, and her red lips parted, âIsnât marriage just a piece of paper? As long as Li Beijue and I consider it valid, it is valid, isnât it?â
This counterattack, beautifully done!
Old Master Li was being openly contradicted for the first time. He frowned slightly but said nothing, yet the sense of oppression in the room grew heavierâ¦
In the Presidential Suite, everyone involuntarily held their breath, all except for Chi Enen who looked into his eyes unwaveringly and unflinchingly.
...
Old Master Li squinted his eyes, a trace of appreciation flashing through them.
This was still the first time someone had dared to directly contradict him, even holding his gaze for over three minutes.
What a pity, she came from a background that was too low and a family situation too poor.
âI do not approve of you two being together.â He was no longer beating around the bush, âThe fact that your status isnât good enough for Beijue is undeniable. However, you have given birth to a very smart son for Beijue. As the mother of my great-grandson, I can offer you a reasonable compensation. In addition to money, I can give you a villa, a small company enough to last you a lifetime. Of course, if you only want money, you can also give me a ballpark figure. As long as itâs not too outrageous, Iâll agree. But my stance remains the same, you and Beijue will not and cannot be together. Do you understand?â
âI donât want moneyâ¦â
As if he hadnât heard her, Old Master Li poured the tea from his cup into the waste bin, and said indifferently, âMiss Chi doesnât have to reject it so hastily. I know, you must think that by holding on to Beijue, the benefits you could get would be more than just this. But I can tell you clearly, in your status, Beijue is merely seeking novelty. Youâve met Zhiyuan, havenât you? Do you think you surpass her in any way, be it external or internal conditions?â
Kim Zhiyuan⦠In Chi Enenâs mind, the image of a beautiful, tall, elegant, and unpretentious girl emerged. She fell silent for a moment but still held firmly to her own views, âLove is not about an equivalent exchange. Liking each other is more important than being suitable.â
âThatâs because you havenât discovered the unsuitability yet! Once you do, you naturally wonât like each other anymore. Itâs like going to a shoe store to buy shoes. The shoes you like arenât necessarily the ones that fit. Even if you force yourself to wear them because you like them, when your heels get blisters, there will come a day when you canât bear it any longer. Miss Chi, do you want to wait until Beijue finds the misfit and canât bear it any longer before you let go embarrassedly?â Old Master Li, with decades of experience, spoke each word with a vicious acuity that pierced to the heart. âYou donât need to rush to answer me, consider it carefully first. Until youâve made up your mind, the conditions Iâve mentioned still stand.â
ââ¦â
âJason, escort her out.â
Old Master Li, as though certain that Chi Enen would seriously consider it, gave the order indifferently.
âYes, Old Master Jue.â The Old Butler approached Chi Enen, a gentleman extending his hand to guide her, âMiss Chi, please this way.â
Chi Enen bit her lower lip tightly and turned to walk outâ¦
Just as she was about to reach the doorway, Chi Enen suddenly turned aroundâ
