Chapter 684: A Good Heart
Cheng Kangrui didn't know that Xu Zhishan didn't tell Li Chuyue that he said Li Chuyue had a mental illness.
He saw Li Chuyue's distant and indifferent look and thought that Li Chuyue was angry about what he said.
So he began to make excuses for himself, explaining the difficulties he faced being caught between Li Chuyue's friends and company partners.
But Li Chuyue's question made Cheng Kangrui confused. He suspected that Li Chuyue might deliberately let him expose his sinister side in front of the Lu family.
So, under Xu Zhishan's uneasy gaze, he did not want to repeat what he had said before.
He showed an embarrassed and awkward look on his face, and replied with a wry smile:
“Chu Yue, you know that your father and I have been good friends for many years, and I am also your uncle who watched you grow up.
If it weren't for Honglan Group, Uncle Cheng would never have said that to you, there's no doubt about that!
I didn't let Manager Dai go upstairs because Boss Niu and the others didn't like her cheap outfit and didn't like her interrupting conversations.
Xu Zhishan couldn't stand listening any longer. She looked at Cheng Kangrui who wanted to distance himself from her, raised her hand and pointed at him, and retorted:
"That's not right! Boss Niu and Boss Gou didn't mention Sister Jin Yao at the beginning!
Sister Jinyao told me that you often complained about her clothes in the company, even though she was obviously wearing them very nicely and beautifully.
In the short time I was here, you kept belittling Sister Jin Yao. Which girl can accept an old, tacky man constantly complaining about her?
I see you have your own ideas about fashion. How about asking Sister Jinyao to leave Honglan Group and develop your career in the fashion industry?!"
Xu Zhishan spoke very directly and did not take Cheng Kangrui, the current president of Honglan Group, seriously at all.
In fact, she would never reveal her sharp-tongued side in front of her elders, fearing that her aunt and other elders would tell her tiger mom.
However, she had just witnessed Cheng Kangrui's vicious side not long ago, and she absolutely could not tolerate him whitewashing himself in front of her.
Moreover, Xu Zhishan remembered that Lu Muqi's mother was standing next to her and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. She decided not to hide it anymore and directly refuted it loudly.
But what she never expected was that after she spoke bluntly to someone, the first person to respond to her was Lu Muqi's mother Ying Muyun.
After listening to what Xu Zhishan said, Ying Muyun looked up and down at Cheng Kangrui with an expression of extreme disgust.
Before, because she was in the army every day, she had no makeup on and was very tanned, so she didn't need to dress up often.
So when she married into the Lu family, one of the four major families, she had short hair and didn't know how to dress up, so every time she attended a banquet, she would be criticized by other rich ladies.
Ying Muyun originally didn't care about other people's comments and dislike of her clothes, but she would get annoyed if she heard it too much.
In particular, she couldn't bear to see her husband being ridiculed, so she slowly began to try to improve herself.
But she understands very well and has a deep understanding of the experience that needs to be experienced.
At this moment, Ying Muyun saw a man who had nothing to do with fashion, actually daring to dislike the girl's outfit.
She suddenly thought of how she had been despised by those women covered in jewels, and she instantly became furious.
She took a big step forward, folded her arms, and deliberately looked Cheng Kangrui up and down, then echoed Xu Zhishan's words and said domineeringly:
"Shanshan is right! How a woman dresses herself is her business! You, as a man, should stay out of my way!"
I see you're not short of money! Why don't you clean yourself up a bit instead of just picking on your employees?
Otherwise... I will provide you with money, send you to Thailand by special plane and personnel for surgery, and make you a real woman!
This way, you can satisfy your own tendency to find fault with others, since your outfit is not that great after all!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhishan blinked in confusion, wondering why Aunt Ying was still praising her?
Shouldn't he think that she is not ladylike and dignified enough, and not suitable for his beloved son?
Li Chuyue saw Xu Zhishan slowly put down her hands, looking at a loss. She smiled evilly and whispered:
"Hahaha, it seems that your true side makes godmother like you even more!
It’s actually pretty good. I like your true side so much. When you get married, there’s no need to hide it anymore, hahaha.”
"..." Xu Zhishan was speechless. She glanced at Li Chuyue and had the urge to pinch Li Chuyue's neck and shake it.
At this time, after hearing what Xu Zhishan and Ying Muyun said, Cheng Kangrui blushed and felt humiliated.
But when he wanted to lose his temper, he had to consider Ying Muyun's husband Lu Qiqi and Li Chuyue, who was already Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend.
Finally, he suppressed his anger, forced a smile on his face, and said helplessly with a tone that was still a little flattering:
“I know this young lady and Mrs. Lu have misunderstood me, and I understand why you are angry with me.
But Chu Yue, you should be able to understand my difficulties. Although Manager Dai and your friend offended Mr. Niu and others, and I even threatened them.
But in fact, I didn’t take those seriously. I really only resorted to this desperate measure to appease and calm the anger of Mr. Niu and others as quickly as possible!
I have worked diligently for decades at Honglan Group. For the sake of your father's company, I am willing to be treated as a bad person by you..."
When Cheng Kangrui spoke the last part, he lowered his eyelids, looking like a particularly righteous and innocent victim.
Especially when he said the last sentence, his tone was full of sadness of being wronged, and even had a hint of crying.
For a moment, the two men present, Lu Qiqi and Lu Muqi, were both moved, thinking that a man who was about to cry must be speaking from the heart.
On the side, Xu Zhishan and Ying Muyun didn't expect that Cheng Kangrui, a grown man, was so wronged that he was about to cry. They all felt as if they had become the bad guys.
However, when Xu Zhishan thought of the malicious words Cheng Kangrui said to Li Chuyue, she quickly realized that Cheng Kangrui was pretending.
I can't tell Li Chuyue what Cheng Kangrui said because she already knows about it. I don't know how to tell Li Chuyue that Cheng Kangrui is lying.
She could only shake Li Chuyue's arm and remind her:
"Chu Yue, believe me!
I don't know how close this person was to you and your father, and whether he had watched you grow up since you were a child.
But this doesn't prove that he will always be a good person! I can clearly tell that he doesn't want you and your father to be together! You have to believe me! "
Hearing this, Cheng Kangrui raised his face full of sadness and looked at Li Chuyue. He said in a low and serious voice:
“Uncle Cheng doesn’t want to embarrass you, and I am willing to apologize.
But...when you take over the company and truly lead Honglan Group, you will understand my good intentions and my intentions."
