When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

Lin Zhixia was in a state of utter confusion, as if all sorts of things had suddenly piled up on her head, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

She paced anxiously back and forth in the room, imagining countless possibilities in her mind, feeling as if her brain's CPU was about to burn out.

In the end, Lin Zhixia had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the bus to the Li family's house.

When she stepped into the Li family's hall, she clearly felt that the atmosphere was completely different from usual, and seemed to be more oppressive.

Wang Jingshan stepped forward, his expression appearing more serious than usual.

"Xiao Lin, the master is already waiting for you inside. Come with me."

Lin Zhixia took a few steps inside. She had never met the old master of the Li family before, but she had heard that he was no ordinary man.

The Li family has been rooted in Beijing for decades. It was founded by the old man, who was a prominent figure in his youth.

Lin Zhixia walked up to Old Master Li and said, "Old Master Li."

Master Li looked him up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his cloudy yet wise eyes.

"You must be Lin Zhixia, the daughter of the Lin Group?"

Lin Zhixia gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with her fingers. She knew that once it was exposed online, it would quickly reach the ears of the Li family.

Even after mentally preparing herself, Lin Zhixia still felt a little apprehensive when she saw Master Li.

She nodded slightly: "Yes."

Bai Qingruan sneered from the side, "Grandpa Li, it's this woman. She probably didn't have good intentions from the moment she entered the Li family. She didn't say a word about her past and hid it from Brother Li for so long!"

"I think we should sue her and the childcare facility she works for. How could someone with such a shady background be sent to the Li family? Where is the young master's safety in all this?!"

Lin Zhixia's heart tightened. Bai Qingruan's mouth was never idle. She guessed that she was trying to help her sister Bai Muqing consolidate her position in the Li family.

She just got the wrong person; she didn't like Li Jingchuan.

Bai Muqing spoke up at this moment, her tone gentle.

"Qingruan, don't get too excited. Of course, Grandpa Li knows that you are doing this for the young master's good, but Sister Zhixia seems to be an honest and virtuous girl. She may have her own reasons."

"But this matter is indeed... If it were me, I would have confessed to everyone long ago. After all, trust is the most important thing in interpersonal relationships."

Lin Zhixia almost rolled her eyes when she heard these witty remarks. If it weren't for the fact that the original story had already revealed how much Bai Muqing liked to scheme behind the scenes, she probably would have been fooled by this weak and helpless appearance.

She did wrong the Li family, but she did not wrong Bai Muqing.

Lin Zhixia glanced at Bai Muqing sideways: "Miss Bai, what are you saying? I haven't done anything wrong. Besides, I haven't revealed my background, but everyone in the Li family knows that I genuinely care about the young master."

"Otherwise, President Li wouldn't have come to see me late at night with the young master after I resigned, which shows that my abilities are not in question."

Wang Jingshan said from the side, "Master, Xiao Lin is indeed very dedicated to taking care of the young master. None of the nannies in the entire Li family can soothe the young master, but Xiao Lin is the only one he particularly likes."

"I think the child's reaction is the most genuine. If Xiaolin hadn't treated the young master well, he wouldn't be so clingy to her."

"As for Xiaolin's background, the childcare facility conducted a formal background check when she came here, and all the procedures were in order. Her parents' situation is her family matter and has nothing to do with her ability to take care of the young master."

At this moment, Li Xiulan came out carrying the young master. The little guy looked like he had just woken up, with his eyes slightly squinted and his little mouth pouting. But when his gaze swept over the people in the hall and landed on Lin Zhixia, he immediately perked up.

He kept making babbling sounds, and then his two little arms stretched out towards Lin Zhixia, his whole body arching forward, and Li Xiulan almost couldn't hold him.

Lin Zhixia quickly stepped forward and took the little one. As soon as he was in her arms, he stopped fussing. He held her collar with his two little hands, buried his head in her shoulder, and was quiet.

Seeing this, Bai Qingruan's face showed resentment and hatred, and she clenched her palms tightly.

"Grandpa Li, Lin Zhixia must have cast some kind of spell on the young master, otherwise how could this be..."

"Alright! I understand the situation. You can all leave now. I have something to say to Miss Lin privately."

Master Li interrupted Bai Qingruan's words with an imposing air.

Bai Qingruan was clearly unwilling: "Grandpa Li..."

Wang Jingshan had already walked up to Bai Qingruan: "Miss Bai, you are currently just a nanny hired by the Li family, and you haven't even passed your probation period yet. Outsiders shouldn't interfere in the Li family's affairs."

Bai Qingruan's face turned pale and then green after Wang Jingshan's words, and she bit her lip but couldn't utter a single word.

She snorted coldly, turned around, and walked out with Bai Muqing.

Even after she stepped outside, she didn't forget to turn back and glare fiercely at the people in the living room.

"He's just a butler, how dare he talk to me like that! My sister is the future young mistress of the Li family. Sister, the first thing you'll do when you marry into the Li family is to get rid of this Wang Jingshan!"

Bai Muqing wasn't angry at all: "Don't worry, do you think Lin Zhixia will get away with this in there?"

Inside the large living room, only Mr. Li, Lin Zhixia, and Chen Zonghan remained.

Lin Zhixia thought she had passed the test. After all, with the young master there, Master Li would probably not hold her responsible too much for the sake of the child.

She was pondering whether to say a few words of thanks when Mr. Li spoke slowly but with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened between you and A-Yuan?"

Lin Zhixia froze, her face turned deathly pale, and she stood motionless as if her feet were made of lead.

After a long while, Lin Zhixia finally managed to squeeze out a few words.

"What...what do you mean?"

Suddenly, Master Li slammed his teacup heavily on the table, making a harsh sound. His aged eyes were unusually sharp at that moment.

"Lin Zhixia, how dare you hide my grandson for so long! What are you up to! Now you even dare to use him to help you smooth over public opinion. We've seen plenty of women like you, but I've never seen anyone as bold as you before."

Lin Zhixia was instantly struck dumb. It was true that she had hidden Li Chengyuan, but...

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by using your grandson to help me quell public opinion?"

He gestured to Chen Zonghan beside him, and Chen Zonghan immediately handed the phone to Master Li.

Mr. Li opened a video and placed it in front of Lin Zhixia.

You'll see when you see it.
