Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 413 Troubles Coming to the Door (Second Update)

Ji Rui noticed that Le Tong was also very tired these past few days, his heart ached for her, wanting her to stay at home and rest well. But he knew she was a worrier, and even if he asked her not to go to the office, she wouldn’t listen.Ji Rui didn’t let Le Tong return by herself, instead he asked Xiao Li to drive her home. If it were before, Le Tong would certainly have insisted on going back by herself, but knowing there was more to Ji Rui’s stabbing incident, she cooperatively got in the car with Xiao Li.

Although Ji Rui didn’t say it explicitly, she knew clearly that she couldn’t help much with this matter, but at least, she had to protect herself well so as not to become a tool for someone to threaten Ji Rui.

Xiao Li accompanied her into the Ji Mansion, watching her enter the elevator before leaving.

Le Tong intended to come back to work, but some people deliberately made her life difficult.

Or rather, to be precise, they made Ji Rui’s life difficult.

As Le Tong stepped into the office, she saw the arrogant old man sitting in the small lounge area.

"Hello, Chairman!"

Though surprised inside, her face showed no sign of anomaly at all.

She had a knack for acting, except she often slipped up in front of Ji Rui. Before, she thought it was because of Ji Rui’s strong aura; now she realized it was because she liked him, making it difficult to act freely in front of him.

Mr. Ji leisurely sat on the sofa, nodding slightly, signaling her to sit down.

Le Tong didn’t follow his wishes obediently, slowly placed her bag, turned around, and went into the pantry. While making tea, she contemplated whether to tip off Ji Rui.

But thinking that this was the Ji Family, Mr. Ji came alone, he probably wouldn’t do anything harmful to her, at most just verbal attacks.

She could handle such tactics, no need to bother the man sneaking around busy since morning.

"Chairman, please have some tea!"

A few minutes later, Le Tong placed a steaming cup of hot tea in front of Mr. Ji.

"Le Tong, are you cohabiting with Ah Ru?"

Mr. Ji’s eyes on Le Tong were sharp and cold, and his tone was not friendly.

Le Tong found it funny. In this day and age, never mind a successful and strong man like Ji Rui, even teenagers of fifteen or sixteen, their love affairs are probably not something parents should interfere with.

"Chairman, I’m sorry, but that’s my private matter!"

If Mr. Ji were a qualified father, no matter how he made things difficult for her, she would think he was doing it for his son’s good, and she would try to gain the old man’s understanding and blessing.

But the Mr. Ji who came out of Ji Rui’s mouth was not fit to be a father, hence Le Tong felt there was no need to inform this person about her matters with Ji Rui.

"Le Tong, do you really think Ah Ru likes you? The person he likes is CoCo. He treats you well only because you are Baobao’s biological mommy. Of course, even a lady of CoCo’s standing also understands that for a man like Ah Ru, it’s no big deal to have a few women outside. She believes he would balance the relations among you three well, so she turns a blind eye, letting you all fool around."

This time, Mr. Ji attacked Le Tong in a different way.

But Le Tong wasn’t a fool. Compared to Mr. Ji, she trusted her own heart and eyes more.

"Chairman, I don’t think Ji Rui’s personal affairs are any of your business."

Le Tong held the cup in both hands, replying calmly.

Mr. Ji was visibly at a loss for words, his expression changing slightly.

"I am his father, why can’t I care?" Mr. Ji reprimanded furiously.

Le Tong remained unfazed, "A qualified father raises and educates his son before he turns into adulthood, and after the son grows up he should let go and allow him to live his own life. Chairman, have you got these two orders reversed?"

Le Tong had no liking for the old man in front of her. Indeed, because he was so bad to Ji Rui, she unconsciously saw him as her enemy.

Although that strong man Ji Rui doesn’t need her protection under her wings, she instinctively shielded him.

Gotta say, before when hearing about Ji Rui’s past, she mostly felt sympathetic.

But now, she couldn’t help but feel heartache for Ji Rui.

Looking at the man in front of her, she suddenly understood why Ji Rui hated him so much.

Mr. Ji didn’t expect Le Tong to have such courage, nor did he expect she seemed to know a lot about his son’s affairs.

"Le Tong, my family matters are none of your business!"

Le Tong sneered slightly, "Don’t worry, I have no interest in your family matters."

"Heh, you speak so loftily. If you’re not interested, why are you meddling in my and Ah Ru’s affairs?" Mr. Ji said with a sneer.

"Chairman, are you sure Ji Rui considers that family his home?" Le Tong hit the nail on the head.

As an outsider, she indeed shouldn’t meddle in others’ family matters, but this old man is truly unfit to be a father!

"You!" Mr. Ji was stung to silence by the remark.

Le Tong watching him fuming and glaring, gradually ruled out the possibility of him being the mastermind behind Ji Rui’s stabbing.

Because analyzing from the pile of nonsense he spoke, Ji Rui’s injury matter, he’s still in the dark.

"Chairman, sorry, I still have a lot of work to do."

Le Tong had no interest in continuing the nonsense, for she still had several important tasks waiting for her attention.

"Le Tong, have you forgotten I am the chairman? You are just a secretary!" Being belittled again and again by this slender woman, Mr. Ji almost exploded with anger.

"Chairman, it’s because I haven’t forgotten that I need to work diligently." Le Tong stood up, walking back to her desk.

She wanted to see if he was really unaware of Ji Rui’s injury.

"Chairman, since you think your relationship with your son is so great, why not talk to Ji Rui directly? Why come to deal with an outsider like me?"

Le Tong pulled out her chair and sat down, opening her computer while speaking.

Mr. Ji’s face turned livid, "Le Tong, go on being arrogant! Aren’t you afraid Baobao will find out you only gave birth to him for money?"

Originally, since finding out Le Tong was Baobao’s biological mother, Mr. Ji thought Ji Rui and Le Tong had a past. But after hearing the truth from CoCo, his disdain for Le Tong grew more profound.

Le Tong felt a pang in her heart, but she quickly calmed down.

"Why not tell Baobao yourself, see if he believes you or me!"

She had absolute confidence in her beloved son!
