Kiss With Mr. CEO

Chapter 37 - I think it is you who is overstepping his boundaries

Chapter 37 - I think it is you who is overstepping his boundaries

In a luxurious dining room adorned with countless valuables and numerous antiques, were seated two middle-aged men. The table held various sumptuous mouth-watering dishes prepared by the best chefs in the world. A serious atmosphere enveloped the room.

"I hope whatever comes of the decision of the engagement between our children, it will not affect the good relationship between our families", Guang Li purposed slyly after they finished the dinner.

Li Guang had sent away his wife because she was a little too reckless and the matter needed to be addressed with great caution. He didn’t want his wife to say something rash that would offend Wang Zhihao.

No matter what, the Wang family did hold power and they were one of their best allies. They were also greatly favored by his father, Li Fu Tong. So Li Guang, conscious of their importance and influence, didn’t want to make an enemy out of the Wang family.

"Whether the relationship between both families stays the same as before depends on how Mr. Li attends to this matter", Wang Zhihao said retaining ambiguity in his statement.

Li Guang sighed. It was clear as crystal now. If he was to annul the engagement, the Wang family would sure turn into their foes. They would suffer a lot of business losses that way. But Li Guang still tried to end it without leaving any hard feelings.

"Mr. Wang, we can’t force children in the matter of hearts. If we do that and force them to marry against their will, it will only result in the suffering of our children", Li Guang tried to reason.

Wang Zhihao fell silent. He had realized that by now that Li Guang intended to end this engagement. But he was not here to silently listen to him annulling the engagement. He was here to save this engagement at every cost!

His little daughter, Wang Huailing, adored Li Luxian since she was a child. She wanted to marry him. Wang Zhihao had fulfilled her every wish she was young. So how could he let Li Guang annul the marriage?

There was another reason that Wang Zhihao wanted to save this engagement. If Wang Huailing married Li Luxian, it would bring Wang family business a lot of profit. Even using Li Luxian name as his son in law would result in countless big firms running over to do business with them. He could use his name to scare anyone who dared to oppose him.

"Mr. Li, I hope you’ll keep the regards of the words elder Li said to me", Wang Zhihao said.

Li Fu Tong was his trump card.

Mention of his father unnerved Li Guang. The fondness Li Fu Tong felt for the Wang family was undisguised. He was the one who came up with this engagement with Wang Hualing. At that time Li Guang conceded to the engagement only because Li Luxian hadn’t shown interest in any other woman. And he needed to marry as the only heir.

"Mr. Wang what I’m trying to say that is that we can’t do anything when Li Luxian is unwilling"

"Of course we can Mr. Li. You just need to get rid of that girl. And I’m confident that that with your power, the feet would be nothing for you", Wang Zhihao smirked sinisterly, "Li Luxian is young and reckless. As your father, it is your duty to rectify his mistakes"

Li Guang quietened. He was getting angry at his rascal son. Only if that bastard had told him earlier about his affair, Li Guang would never have conceded to that engagement with Wang Hualing and today he wouldn’t have to deal with this situation!

"Mr. Wang, I would be blunt. Li Luxian is no longer a child but a grown man of his own will and a very stubborn one. He has already decided to marry that girl and I’m unable to affect his decision in any way. If I do something to that girl I’m afraid I’ll incur his wrath"

"You are so much afraid of your son"

"I just respect his decision"

Wang Zhihao smirked as he leaned back.

"Is it your final decision Mr. Li?"

"Yes", Li Guang replied firmly, "I’m annulling this engagement officially now."

"I wonder if elder Li is aware of your decision", Wang Zhihao said looking at his phone. He had just received a text from his daughter, Wang Hualing. She was here with Li Fu Tong.

"Mr. Wang. Don’t drag the matter now. It’s over. No good will come if you persist", Li Guang warned.

"I can say the same for you, Mr. Li. Don’t drag it and agree with me to deal with that girl. No good will come if you allow your son to bring a hoe as your daughter-in-law"

"Wang Zhihao!", Li Guang was enraged.

"Isn’t it right? I expect Mr. Li to already have a background check on that wench. So you must know that she was abandoned by her family. She had been living in the streets for one month. How do you think she would have survived if not for selling her body to men?"

"Wang Zhihao you are overstepping your boundaries now!"

"I’m just stating the facts"

"Wang Zhihao! You..."

"I think it is you who is overstepping his boundaries Li Guang", a grim, severe voice was heard.

Li Fu Tong was here and besides him was standing a crying and pitiful Wang Hualing.
