Chapter 207 - Setting a Trap
Chapter 207: Setting a Trap
“…Hello? Are you Mr Li Dongjue’s friend? I’m Wu Yi. He asked me to contact you.”
The next day, Wu Yi dialed the number on the name card and arranged to meet the other party at a teahouse in the bustling commercial district.
Li Yanghong had investigated Wu Mei’s relationship with the Wu family in advance. Following the instructions of the Li Family’s second branch, he invited Wu Yi to sit down very politely and respectfully. “Dongjue has already called me and said that no matter what difficulties you face, he wants me to find a way to help you.”
“I can tell that Dongjue is very concerned about you!” Li Yanghong said deliberately.
As expected, he saw a hint of relaxation and arrogance on Wu Yi’s face. He continued to ask, “Do you need me to help you rent an apartment? If Miss Wu stays in a poor environment for a long time, I believe Dongjue’s heart will ache.”
Hearing Li Yanghong fawning over her, Wu Yi guessed that Li Dongjue’s status was definitely not ordinary.
Acting elegant as she stirred her coffee, she pretended to be vexed as she bit her red lips and said, “But I can’t always rely on you guys for help.”
“If possible, I still want to move back to the villa. After all, that’s where I grew up and I’m used to living there!”
Hearing Wu Yi say this, Li Yanghong immediately laid out a large net and enticed her, “Actually, this isn’t difficult to achieve.”
“You said that Mr Wu Pang used to be in charge of the Wu Corporation for many years. He must have a deep understanding of the corporation…”
“If we can convince him to reveal the secrets of the Wu Corporation, my company will secretly spread the news and acquire the Corporation.”
“At that time, I can have a merger with the Wu Corporation,” Li Yanghong said calmly, as if he was talking about a business deal that did not benefit him at all. He acted as if he was completely standing in Wu Yi’s shoes to think for her as he came up with an idea and said, “When the control of the Wu Corporation falls into my hands, I will return it to you and your father without keeping anything.”
“This is akin to helping you get your company back.”
“As long as the Corporation is in your hands, that villa will probably be easily taken back. What do you think, Miss Wu?” Li Yanghong said in a dignified manner.
Wu Yi could not help but be tempted. However, when it came to the Wu Corporation, she still needed to go back and discuss it with Wu Pang. She stalled for time as she replied to him, “Can you give me a few days to think about it?”
Li Yanghong was not in a hurry to rush her. He simply agreed in a calm manner and ordered a few desserts for Wu Yi to take away and bring home.
In the dark basement, Wu Yi had returned and was telling Wu Pang about Li Yanghong’s suggestion. The family of three could not help but feel excited and secretly tempted.

In the Li Family’s villa, Bi Fang was recovering quite well recently after Wu Mei’s treatment.
He got along exceptionally well with Mother Wu. Over the past few days, they often got together to discuss their insights about cooking soup. Bi Fang even often explained the principle behind making medicinal cuisine to Mother Wu based on medicinal theories. “If you want to make soup next time, feel free to call me! I can also learn a thing or two from you…”
Elders often liked Bi Fang. His eyes were squinted as he smiled and chatted with Mother Wu. However, the next moment, Li Nanchen grabbed his collar.
Li Nanchen furrowed his brows and unhappily grumbled in a low voice , “Go back to your room! Don’t keep wandering around!”
After saying that, he sat down beside Mother Wu and pretended to be eager to learn. He asked her, “Auntie, what was the soup you made yesterday?”
“Wu Mei likes it very much. I also want to learn from you.”
Wu Mei passed by the living room with a glass of water in her hand. When she saw that Li Nanchen was enveloped in jealousy, she could not help but laugh and shake her head.
