Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing Meng Xia smiling at her in a seemingly ambiguous manner, Zhao Li quickly regained her composure. She smiled and said, “Yes, Song Fan is indeed impressive. I heard that even Charlie specifically requested to collaborate with her. No one else could replace her.”
For some reason, Zhao Li’s smile became even more pronounced. “Ah, I heard that some people went so far as to accompany Charlie on trips just to please him. But in the end, they were nothing more than playthings for him.”
This time, Meng Xia became irritable, and Zhao Li added fuel to the fire. “Even you are not considered one of Charlie’s playthings. Do you think he likes you just because he gave you some jewelry? For someone like Charlie from the Brown family, those things are mere pocket change.”
Meng Xia hadn’t expected that the other party had already investigated her affairs, even knowing about her relationship with Charlie. Her expression soured.
Seeing her reaction, Zhao Li became even more delighted and said triumphantly, “Even Song Fan isn’t worthy to be with Charlie, let alone you.”
“You!” Meng Xia was now infuriated, not knowing what to say. However, she couldn’t refute it because everything Zhao Li said was true. In the end, all she managed to say weakly was, “You are also not worthy to be with Charlie.”
Mockingly, Zhao Li looked at her. “Do you think everyone is like you? Seeing a wealthy person and wanting to get close?”
In Zhao Li’s eyes, Meng Xia lacked vision and couldn’t see the bigger picture and her position.
But Zhao Li didn’t want to waste more words with her. She straightforwardly said, “You should know that I’ve investigated you. With your abilities, it’s impossible to secure a stable position in the Song Corporation or be with Charlie. But I can help you.”
“Help me?” Meng Xia glanced at her and then raised her chin, asking, “Why would you help me? Is it for Gu Chen? Do you think you’re worthy of Gu Chen?”
Even someone like Meng Xia, who didn’t pay much attention to the economy, knew the significant influence of the Gu Corporation, not to mention that Gu Chen was a well-known eligible bachelor in the country. Although she used to be afraid to covet Gu Chen, now that both Gu Chen and Charlie were in front of her, how could she not be tempted?
Zhao Li must be the same. Since the Zhao family had a prominent position in the capital, the possibility of a union between Zhao Li and Gu Chen was even greater.
However, Meng Xia didn’t want to admit this. She insisted, “You’re just doing this for Gu Chen. You’re using me, and in the end, you’re only helping yourself, aren’t you?”
Zhao Li coldly stared at her but didn’t say anything. Zhao Li hadn’t expected Meng Xia to be so clever, quickly grasping the crux of the matter.
Meng Xia continued, “I heard that Gu Chen and Xu Wen have an engagement.”
Originally, she wanted to use the Xu family to suppress Zhao Li’s momentum.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Li laughed and laughed quite calmly. “Rest assured, Xu Wen has already disfigured herself. She doesn’t care about these things anymore. Besides, they haven’t met many times before. Does Xu Wen think she can fall in love with a man she’s barely seen? Don’t make me laugh. Besides, she is the young miss of the Xu family.”
The reason Zhao Li contacted Meng Xia was all because of Xu Wen. Xu Wen even said she wanted to avenge her good friend, Song Yin, so she would not let Song Fan go.
Zhao Li had worried that there might be some connection between Xu Wen and Gu Chen, but when she saw Xu Wen’s photo, she was completely reassured. What man would marry a disfigured woman? Even if someone were willing to marry her for the Xu family’s wealth, that person definitely wouldn’t be Gu Chen.
Initially, Zhao Li didn’t have a particularly good relationship with Xu Wen.
However, the Zhao family relied on many collaborations with the Xu family, so Zhao Li had to constantly flatter Xu Wen. Unexpectedly, this time, Xu Wen gave her such a big gift.
When Zhao Li learned about Charlie’s identity, she blamed Xu Wen. However, Xu Wen explained that it was her first time visiting A City, and it was Charlie’s first time in the country. Even Song Yin didn’t recognize him. In the end, Zhao Li had to investigate the matter and unexpectedly discovered the connection between Meng Xia and Charlie.
“We have a common enemy. As long as we get rid of Song Fan, the world will be peaceful. Since we both want to eliminate Song Fan, why not cooperate?”
Zhao Li seemed to have already seen the miserable end of Song Fan and smiled triumphantly.
Meng Xia almost didn’t hesitate and blurted out, “Okay, how do you plan to cooperate?”
Smiling, Zhao Li continued, “I heard that the Song Corporation is planning a celebration banquet.. Song Fan will attend, right?”
