Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 769 - 768: Miss Biao just arrived
"They insist on investigating... Brother Pi... let’s just put up with it for a while..."
Smart people are always like this, never mentioning Brother Pi’s injuries, pretending as if nothing happened, not touching on Brother Pi’s concerns.
...
A routine procedure.
The security personnel dispatched vehicles from the agency, dispersing them and settling them inside the cars, before the doors swung shut and they drove away.
A man in black, frowning, chased the car on foot for a few steps, looking through the window at the reflection, then glanced at the photo in his hand...
In just a little while, the car gradually drove away, the man stopped walking, turned around and said something to the men in black behind him.
...
Inside the car.
Li Yan and Gu Tong withdrew their eyes focused on the rearview mirror, exchanging glances in unison, both seeing the smiles in each other’s eyes.
They understood in their hearts that the people behind them were undoubtedly from the Li Family!
...
Shoucheng.
A prime location where only the wealthy could reside.
A tremendously expensive area, unexpectedly occupied by a vast estate, taking up an entire long street.
The vintage and steady warm yellow, reserved and imposing purple, and low-key yet substantial black, three colors matching to form the estate’s outer walls, which connected to the open carved iron gates, appeared particularly solemn.
’Whoosh whoosh--’
Six luxurious cars drove through the iron gate, entering the courtyard of the estate, and proceeded to the inner part of the estate.
’Creak--’
The cars came to a steady stop.
The bodyguard in the passenger seat hurriedly got out and opened the rear door.
Red high heels touched the ground, revealing long, slender, and fair legs to everyone’s view, and with a graceful and light posture, a stunning face, bright eyes, and white teeth, she exuded an exceptional aura, completely unlike a woman in her forties.
"Madam, you are back."
He Ma, who was in charge of internal affairs, and Uncle Cheng, who managed external affairs, both walked over simultaneously with great respect to welcome the second lady of the Li Family, Gong Qingwan.
Gong Qingwan, wearing a peacock blue qipao embroidered with peonies, walked a few steps with grace and then raised her fair hand with light-colored nail polish to cover her nose, uttering an ’uh-huh’.
The ladies from prominent families in the old days always had this kind of aloof demeanor, even now, in more open times, they still maintained their noble stance when dealing with the household staff, never willing to lower themselves.
He Ma was also an old-timer, used to Madame’s ways, so she was not bothered by it. She hurriedly curry-favored, stepping forward to assist Gong Qingwan’s hand, saying, "The cousin just arrived, and is waiting for Madam in the hall."
Gong Qingwan furrowed her pretty brow, slightly displeased, and said, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
"The cousin just arrived as well, while Old Cheng wanted to inform you, before the internal phone call could go out, Madam, you returned..." Saying this, it was just a coincidence and not a neglect, but the madam’s temper was difficult to handle, easily assuming the staff had been negligent.
Upon hearing these words, Gong Qingwan’s mood finally eased, but her steps quickened a bit, clearly showing much importance to this cousin.
The cousin named Chu Xiran, was the only daughter of Gong Qingwan’s deceased sister, Gong Qingyan.
This child lost her mother from early childhood, so Gong Qingwan particularly cherished her, even granting Chu Xiran, an outsider in terms of surname, considerable authority, which even Gong Chenli could not compare with.
Of course, this matter wasn’t surprising.
After all, Gong Qingwan and Gong Qingyan were full-blood sisters from the same parents, growing up together, having an unparalleled sisterly bond.
Furthermore, Gong Chenli and Gong Qingwan were half-siblings from their father’s side, never having lived together!
Moreover, Gong Chenli’s mother was an outside mistress of the Gong Family Head, in modern terms, undoubtedly a mistress!
Gong Qingwan was clear about the closeness or distance of relationships, treating them in very different ways.
