The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 779 - 794: How much do you think your son is worth?

Then it rang again, got turned off, and rang once more... Finally, Zhong Li was really annoyed. Considering that she was her boss’s mother, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Walking into the café, Zhong Li immediately spotted Li Jiaxue who was sitting by the window. She walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down, "I wonder what you need from me?"

Today, Li Jiaxue was wearing a black pencil skirt paired with a white chiffon blouse, looking as sharp as ever.

"Resign from the company tomorrow, and in the future, do not appear in front of my son again." Li Jiaxue straightforwardly stated her purpose.

Zhong Li looked at her with surprise, "What’s the reason?"

"Miss Zhong, do you really have to feign ignorance? Don’t think about seducing Shangyu; he would never marry a woman without a background like you."

After hearing what Li Jiaxue said, Zhong Li’s expression inevitably darkened. She couldn’t stand people who were so snobbish. What’s wrong with not having a family or a background? Besides, did she ever say she wanted to marry Qi Shangyu?

It was simply baffling.

"I think you’re overestimating President Qi’s charm. I don’t like him at all, and I never thought about marrying into your family."

Li Jiaxue gave Zhong Li a sharp look, then turned around and took out a check from her bag, "Here’s five million. That should be enough."

Zhong Li took the check from the table and glanced at it, a sneer appearing at the corner of her mouth, "Your son is only worth five million? Isn’t that a bit too little?"

Having weathered many storms in the business world, Li Jiaxue had seen it all, "It’s not that my son is worth so little, but rather you’re only worth this much."

"Since you’ve put it that way, I really can’t leave the company now. It seems that staying by President Qi’s side offers a much greater future than this mere five million."

A faint, whimsical smile played on Zhong Li’s cool face, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

"You’re quite the haggler, aren’t you? Just name your price."

Zhong Li pushed the check in front of Li Jiaxue and curled her lip with a raised eyebrow, "How much do you think your son is worth?"

With nails polished, Li Jiaxue slammed the table forcefully and spoke sharply, "Don’t push your luck. If you don’t take the money and leave now, I’ll have plenty of ways to deal with you in the future."

"Then I’ll be eagerly watching."

Zhong Li shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, stood up from the chair, and walked away in her heels.

Li Jiaxue’s face turned white with anger. She hadn’t anticipated that Zhong Li would be such a difficult opponent.

This afternoon, Li Jiaxue received a call from Xia Mo, who said that the last time she was having dinner with Qi Shangyu, they encountered a female employee from their company, and that woman was deliberately trying to seduce Qi Shangyu. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

In the end, Xia Mo implored Li Jiaxue not to tell Qi Shangyu that she had called her, saying she didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Qi Shangyu.

After thinking it over, Li Jiaxue concluded it must be Zhong Li. Previously, when she went to the company and asked Zhong Li to make her a cup of coffee, her son had protected her in every way. She couldn’t feel at ease until this little seductress was dealt with.

......

On Monday morning, after washing and dressing up, Zhong Li applied exquisite makeup and went to work at the company.

The car stopped at the company entrance, and as soon as Zhong Li got out of the car, she saw Assistant Wang trotting towards her eagerly.

"Why are you running so fast?"

Assistant Wang looked at Zhong Li, slightly out of breath, with a gleam of gossip in his small eyes, "So, you really are President Gu’s woman. Before, you kept denying it to me."
