His subordinate quickly did an investigation and told Old Master Li about what happened in the U.S. stock market.

Old Master flew into a rage. “This boy is really rebellious! I can’t believe he’s fighting with the chairman of Imperial Entertainment for a good-for-nothing girl! All of you have also granted his wish! No one even told me that he was going to mess with the funds in the U.S. stock market!”

All his subordinates were scolded till they bowed their heads in remorse and did not dare to speak.

However, they were criticizing him in their hearts. Old Master, who doesn’t know that Young Master Li is your precious grandson? So what if he mobilized a small part of the funds in the U.S. stock market? Even if he mobilized the funds in Southeast Asia and South Africa and all the money went down the drain, you wouldn’t even speak harshly to him!

In fact, he may even blame those who reported the matter to him as interfering too much.

( NovelFull )  His subordinates were close to tears. Why was the Old Master like this today?

However, no matter what triggered Old Master, since he was angry, they had the responsibility to ease his rage. Immediately, everyone expressed that they felt that Young Master Li was going too far or that Young Master Li was being very insensible by wasting the money in the family.

Very quickly, the money that belonged to the Li family headquarters withdrew from the war in the U.S. stock market.

China, Skyart Entertainment Building, office.

“Boss.” Tan Ying walked over to Li Lei’s side. “Old Master’s reaction is fast; they have already frozen your authority to mobilize funds from the headquarters.”

Li Lei slightly raised his eyebrow. “Someone reported it to him?” He knew of his grandfather’s work patterns. At this time, he should be asleep. Who was so daring to wake him from this sleep?

“Pei Ziheng.” Tan Ying reported.

Li Lei sneered. “He truly does know how to take drastic measures to deal with a situation.” Skyart Entertainment had only been established a few years ago and other industries established by Li Lei were still young, so he had insufficient funds to fight with Imperial Entertainment in the U.S. stock market. However, the funds from the entire Li family were different. That huge cash flow was enough to make any bigshot tremble with fear.

Tan Ying also felt that it was a pity. “If we had two more hours, we would have inflicted heavy losses on Imperial Entertainment.”

“Forget it, we have already gained quite a bit.” Li Lei stood up. Although he was using the money from the headquarters, he was obviously helping his family earn money, yet his grandfather wanted to stop it. The only reason was probably that his grandfather knew that he was doing it because of Xiao Ling. It looked like his grandfather was still very prejudiced against her…

Within his family, he had to deal with the Old Master. Outside, he had a strong opponent like Pei Ziheng.

Li Lei’s expression darkened. How exactly was he going to get Xiao Ling to return to his side?

“Tomorrow, accompany me to visit Imperial Entertainment.” He instructed Tan Ying.

The next day came.

Xia Ling did not sleep very soundly in the night. In her dreams, she found herself searching for the amulet. She left no stone unturned and searched for many years. After experiencing countless failures, she still did not have a clue about its whereabouts. When she woke up, the sadness and worry she felt were still intense. It caused her to feel uneasy, and she could not calm down.

She draped a jacket around her and asked Nanny Zhou, “Where is Pei Ziheng?”

Nanny Zhou said, “Mister spend the entire night in the study and did not sleep. It appears that an emergency happened in the company. In the morning, he rushed to his office without eating.”

Xia Ling faintly acknowledged her. She did not care about what happened to Imperial Entertainment. Besides, with Pei Ziheng’s measures, there was nothing he could not solve. Her only concern was when she would be able to see him again. She did not care if she had to pester him the entire day, she wanted to get that amulet back.

She ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast and went to Imperial Entertainment.

Xia Ling still got down from the black Rolls Royce and entered the large office building under many eyes. Now, she was already used to people in the company staring at her. In fact, she also knew that people were betting on when she would be ditched by Pei Ziheng in secret.

She did not care at all.

Manager Chu Chen walked with her to the recording studio.

However, Xia Ling said, “I want to go to the chairman’s office.”

Startled, Chu Chen replied, “The chairman is in a meeting now. How about I help you make an appointment with him?”

Appointment? Since when did she need to make an appointment when she wanted to see Pei Ziheng? Xia Ling did not understand Chu Chen. She ignored him and continued walking forward, almost knocking into a person when she turned a corner.

Subconsciously, she covered her lower abdomen. Luckily, she did not hit anyone. The baby was safe. She only received a fright and wondered if it would affect the baby negatively. With this in mind, her mood worsened. When she looked up at the person, her mood became even worse. It was Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was also taken aback by her sudden appearance and held her arm as she yelped. “Ouch, it hurts! Ye Xingling, watch where you’re going! Didn’t you see that there’s someone here?” She said with an accusatory tone as if she had suffered a huge grievance.

Xia Ling’s mood was ruined. Coldly, she rebuked. “Stop acting.” It was obvious that they did not knock into each other.

“How dare you say I’m acting!” Xia Yu felt so wronged that she almost cried. Her volume was also very loud, and people nearby could all hear her. “Ye Xingling, consider yourself lucky that I did not seek revenge after you knocked into me. I can’t believe you said I am acting!”

A few curious eyes were already looking over.

Look, the chairman’s old lover’s sister and his new lover are having an argument. This kind of drama is more entertaining than any conflict in the entertainment industry. These gossip lovers were all hoping for something like that to happen during their workday. Everyone’s eyes were sparkling as they pretended to overhear the argument by accident.

Xia Ling was irritated and snorted. She was only concerned about looking for Pei Ziheng to find the amulet and did not intend to waste time having a conflict with Xia Yu. Thus, she walked around her.

Although Xia Yu looked frail and pitiful, she actually had some strength. She gripped Xia Ling’s wrist and said, “Ye Xingling, apologize!”

Xia Ling was suddenly pulled back by her and was furious. As she was afraid of hurting the baby, she did not forcefully push her away. She only used her other hand to protect her lower abdomen. “Let go!”

“Apologize!” Xia Yu demanded.

Xia Yu was enraged. If she weren’t pregnant, she would have fought about 300 times with Xia Yu already. Now, she did not dare to overstep her boundaries. However, even if she did not want to stir trouble, she was not one to take this lying down. She did not even knock into anyone, why did she have to apologize?

She looked at Xia Yu coldly without saying anything.

Both of them refused to budge.

The surrounding crowd was unhappy. Why didn’t these two girls start fighting? They should be insulting each other and making their conflict more exciting! What was with this stalemate? They could not make out their emotions at all. This… was too unfair!

The crowd wailed in disappointment in their hearts.

The two girls still refused to budge. However, it was as if manager Chu heard their silent complains. He walked up and lightly placed his hand on Xia Yu’s hand. “Xia Yu, let go of Miss Ye.”
