Chapter 1562: Chapter 1563: I’ll settle the score with you when I get back!

He himself was also a fan of Kate Latt, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mr. Li is really impressive. He can even invite such a figure to the country. Kevin Lite is famous for being uncooperative, yet he’s willing to attend such a low-level press conference!"

Chu Xi’s nails were broken, and she silently lowered her head, "He’s much more powerful than you think. I have always known he’s not as simple as he seems on the surface."

How could Li Shengxiao be a simple man? Outsiders only saw the tip of the iceberg of his wealth on the surface and were already mesmerized. She saw much more and foresaw further! She always suspected that the grey area of power controlled by the Lin Family was in this man’s hands. Lin Teng was too upright; many things were inconvenient for him to handle. The Lin Family also had few members. She didn’t believe they would entrust these things to outsiders. The only one they could turn to was Li Shengxiao!

Such a top-notch man, and she hadn’t managed to win him over after almost six months. Instead, she had ended up making this man more and more cold and repulsed by her.

Chu Xi tightened her grip on her nails, and at that moment, her phone rang.

"Your phone." Her assistant, seeing that she didn’t look well, ran over to hand her the phone.

When Chu Xi saw it was Jiang Chenyue calling, she took a deep breath, suppressing the impending feeling of humiliation in her chest, slightly curled her lips, and put the phone to her ear, "Hello, Mrs. Jiang."

She thought Jiang Chenyue was calling to check on her work progress and to comfort her for not being present today.

Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking softly with a smile, a cold voice came from the other side, "Come back to Chu Garden, we’ll settle this when I get back!"

Chu Xi felt as if a bucket of icy water had been poured over her head, soaking her to the bone.

"Mrs. Jiang, did I do something wrong?"

What had she done? She hadn’t done anything today, so why was Jiang Chenyue so angry with her?

Chu Xi was still trying to remember where things had gone wrong today when she heard Jiang Chenyue’s relentless voice, "How many times have I told you to put away your lowbrow tactics and not to trouble Rong Yan? Before, I refrained from saying anything too direct, considering you are now an adult and need to save face, but I subtly reminded you. Now, it seems my indirect words have failed to convey my meaning!"

"Mrs. Jiang, I wasn’t trying to trouble her. You misunderstand me. I just replied to that trending topic on Weibo because I couldn’t stand it any longer. I didn’t mean to target her specifically; I was just targeting that absurd trending topic. If you don’t like it, I’ll just delete it..."

"You come back to Chu Garden first, and we’ll talk about it then! I’ll be returning too, and you’d better be there by the time I arrive."

Jiang Chenyue’s tone did not sound like she believed her. Chu Xi was both angry and annoyed, but didn’t dare to defy her, "...Okay, I’ll head back right away."

She ended the call and told her waiting assistant, "I need to leave for something urgent. Help me inform KT."

"Ah?" The assistant looked surprised, "Xi, if you leave too, the screening might not happen."

Chu Xi looked displeased, "If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. The media have already left. Do they want me to stand with them and embarrass myself too?"

"True," the assistant thought for a moment and agreed with her, showing no remorse, "There are only about a dozen media outlets left at the venue. Staying here to complete the process with them will only lower our status. The fact that we showed up is already us going above and beyond! Oh, unlucky! You should head back, Xi. I’ll handle things here."
