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

Li Chengyuan hung up the phone and tossed it back to Lin Zhixia with a blank expression.

"Lin Zhixia, if you don't want to ruin the Xu family, you'd better stay in the Li family. Otherwise, you'll be letting down more than just me in the future."

Lin Zhixia's pupils trembled.

It was already 3 a.m. when they returned to the Li family's old house, but Lin Zhixia, who was originally sleepy, was not sleepy at all.

She kept thinking about what Li Chengyuan had just said. Could it be that he already knew she still wanted to leave the Li family?

But she had to leave. The original owner's parents had taken on so much debt because of her, but the original owner was completely innocent.

Compared to hers, those parents are so much better.

She has never felt her parents' love in her entire life. They gave all their love to her brother. She always felt like an unwanted person at home.

Lin Zhixia lay on the bed, glancing at the pale light appearing on the horizon, unaware that Li Chengyuan in the next room was doing the same.

When Li Chengyuan came out of the bathroom, he was clearly much less drunk. He stood in front of the French windows and dried his wet hair with a towel.

Time flies, it's already six o'clock.

His phone rang at that moment, and he looked down to see that it was his landlord calling.

Li Chengyuan then remembered that the apartment he had rented with Lin Zhixia was only rented for one month because they didn't have enough money, and the rent should be due now.

He called the landlord.

"Hey landlord, I'd like to renew the lease for that apartment for another year."

"Um, I'm sorry, Xiao Li, a family member is sick and we urgently need money, so I'm planning to sell this house."

Li Chengyuan frowned: "How much are you planning to sell it for?"

"You know the location and price of this house in Beijing, I don't need to say more. I also know that you two really like this house, but it might be a bit difficult for you to buy it."

"And I plan to sell this house for cash."

Li Chengyuan said without hesitation, "I can pay in full. Just give me a quote."

The landlord was somewhat surprised: "Xiao Li, did you win the lottery? I remember when your girlfriend rented this apartment, she haggled with me for two hours over a few hundred yuan. But it's clear that this girl genuinely wants to spend her life with you."

"The young couples who used to rent my place, those girls always knew how to exploit their boyfriends. But your girlfriend, I could tell at a glance, is a great help in managing the household."

Li Chengyuan curled his lips in a mocking smile: "Is that so?"

Landlord: Yes.

"Is two million enough for the house?" Li Chengyuan asked.

The landlord was stunned for a moment. Although the location of her house was not bad, it was just an old community. In addition, the buyer needed to pay in full, so she could only lower the price slightly.

Unexpectedly, someone who couldn't even afford rent before wanted to buy her house outright for two million.

She was naturally more than happy to agree: "Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Li."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chengyuan called Ding Fan in and took out a card number from the drawer.

"When the bank opens at dawn, transfer two million into this card, then go to this address and hand over the keys to the landlord."

Ding Fan took another note, which read 213 Wusong Road.

He was a little puzzled: "Mr. Li, isn't this an old neighborhood? Why did you still buy it?"

With Mr. Li's current financial strength, does he still need to buy a property in an old neighborhood like this?

It doesn't match his status at all.

Li Chengyuan himself didn't know why, even though he probably wouldn't go back to that place again, he still wanted to buy it.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Perhaps it's to remind myself not to forget the path I came from."

For him, that memory is an indelible part of his life.

Although Ding Fan was a little confused, he still did as Li Chengyuan said.

……

Lin Zhixia dozed off for a while in the morning and received a message from her landlord.

【Xiaolin, your boyfriend is so generous! He actually bought this house. I think you two are a great couple. If you get married, don't forget to invite me to your wedding candy!】

Lin Zhixia was completely stunned after reading it.

What is the landlord saying? Li Chengyuan bought their old house. Why did he buy it? Is he constantly reminding her that she lied to him in that house?

He hated her so much that she felt like she was in a dark, hopeless situation.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Zhixia quickly came to her senses and got up to open it. When she saw that it was Bai Muqing, Lin Zhixia's face darkened, and her tone was distant and indifferent.

"Miss Bai, is there anything I can help you with?"

Bai Muqing remained gentle and graceful. Judging from her appearance alone, Lin Zhixia would find it hard to believe that such a beautiful and gentle woman could be so cruel as to harm a baby only a few months old.

"Would it be convenient to go inside and talk?"

Lin Zhixia stood at the door without moving: "Miss Bai, please say what you have to say here. After all, we are of different statuses. I am just a nanny for the Li family now. If I accidentally become a murderer, it will be hard to explain."

Bai Muqing's face showed a brief moment of embarrassment: "Xiao Lin, what are you saying? We've only met a few times. I know you talked to A Yuan before, but I'm not that petty, I won't hold a grudge."

"I know you really want to leave here." Bai Muqing said, glancing around before lowering her voice to Lin Zhixia, "I can help you."

Lin Zhixia looked at Bai Muqing with suspicion, her gaze wary. After all, in the original story, Bai Muqing was no pushover, and it would be a loss if she were to harm her.

"No need, I have no intention of leaving here."

"Miss Lin, come on, I don't believe you can stay in the Li family so calmly and watch me marry A Yuan and have a child. Besides, I don't care what you two were like before, but things are different now."

"No matter how magnanimous I am, I wouldn't let my fiancé's ex-girlfriend be in front of me all the time."

Since Bai Muqing had already put it this way, Lin Zhixia no longer needed to hide anything from her.

"So, you instructed Bai Qingruan to have Su Wanzhi and Yun Shuran harm the young master, with the aim of driving me out of the Li family."

Upon hearing this, Bai Muqing covered her mouth and smiled wryly, as if she had heard a joke.

"Miss Lin, you can't make things up without evidence. If you really think I instigated it, you can go to A Yuan and accuse me, or go to Jing Chuan. But whether they will believe you is another matter."

Lin Zhixia sized up Bai Muqing in front of her. She was indeed quite capable. However, she was no pushover either. Don't forget, she had read the original novel.

Lin Zhixia smiled slightly, leaned close to Bai Muqing's ear, and said only one sentence. Bai Muqing's face immediately darkened, and she grabbed Lin Zhixia's shoulders, her calm expression completely shattering.

"How did you know that?"
