3211 Don’t Cross the Line
“I have no grudge against Xiaoyao Tech, but against Fengyang Tech. My cousin’s boyfriend, Jiang Zeshu holds a grudge against Mu Yufan and Zhou Yunkai. I simply helped him to teach them a lesson. I thought it’s just a cover that Fengyang Tech has a new boss, so I targeted it. Since you’re its new boss, Miss Leng, I’m terribly sorry and I’m willing to pay the compensation. Please forgive me, Miss Leng. I won’t do anything to attack Xiaoyao Tech again.”
Given the current situation, He Fangqi couldn’t deny it.
He refused to admit that he smashed Xiaoyao Tech for his own reason though. He used Jiang Zeshu to protect himself so that Leng Xiaoyao would be less angry with him.
He was willing to pay the compensation, but he didn’t want the police to get involved and cause a scene. Once it became a sensation, the reputation of Tianhe Tech would be affected. By then, it wouldn’t do him any good.
Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t convinced at all, but since He Fangqi agreed to pay the compensation, she wouldn’t sue him.
However, although she wouldn’t sue him, she would still pay him back after he paid the compensation.
Leng Xiaoyao wouldn’t let the mastermind go so easily.
“If so, as long as you pay the compensation, I can let you go. You should pay for double my loss along with my two employees’ medical fees and mental damage compensation of a hundred thousand yuan,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Hearing that, He Fangqi was mad. He felt that Leng Xiaoyao was robbing him, but he couldn’t argue against her.
Even if it was only about five hundred thousand yuan in all, he had just returned twenty million yuan. He didn’t even have a hundred yuan with him right now, not to mention that he owed a lot of money.
He had houses he hadn’t sold yet, but he couldn’t sell them. After selling only one house, he quarreled with his wife.
If he needed to pay the compensation, he would have to think of another way.
If he was left with no choice, he would steal the public money again.
Anyway, he had stolen twenty million yuan and returned it. It shouldn’t be a problem if he stole five hundred thousand yuan again.
Therefore, He Fangqi agreed to pay the compensation as Leng Xiaoyao wanted.
“Alright, Deputy General Manager He, you can continue to enjoy yourself. After I have an exact number, I’ll tell you how much you need to pay. You can transfer the money to my bank account within three days,” Leng Xiaoyao said seemingly considerately.
“Um, can you give me more time?” asked He Fangqi. Three days weren’t enough for him.
“Don’t cross the line.” Leng Xiaoyao said, “You should know that your company will be greatly affected if I call the police. I didn’t call the police because I prefer to deal with it out of court.”
“Of course, of course.” He Fangqi answered. He didn’t dare to bargain with Leng Xiaoyao again and immediately agreed.
When Leng Xiaoyao was gone, He Fangqi sank to the sofa with cold sweat all over his body.
“Manager He, are you alright?” someone asked with concern.
However, after what happened, he couldn’t stay in the club any longer, so he left.
When Leng Xiaoyao and the others walked out of the club, she told Zhang Zengxu to leave by himself, while she left with Li Mochen. She also called Ji Yanxi and told him the result.
Although Leng Xiaoyao had perfectly solved the problem, Li Mochen still hated to see her encountering such trouble.
Leng Xiaoyao was only eighteen years old, but she was totally different from her peers. Normally, girls her age were either studying in school or hanging out all day. Leng Xiaoyao, however, was an excellent student and a successful businesswoman. She also had many skills that other people couldn’t imagine.
Actually, Li Mochen started working when he was a teenager as well
“Brother Mochen, what’s wrong? You don’t look happy.” Leng Xiaoyao sensed that something wasn’t right from Leng Xiaoyao’s expression, so she asked with concern.
Li Mochen compressed his lips and said, “I’m a little touched that you have to deal with so many things at such a young age while your peers hang out all day after class.”
“Brother Mochen, does that mean that you care about me?” Leng Xiaoyao joked with a smile.
“Not at all. Don’t think too much.” Li Mochen denied it at once. He didn’t want Leng Xiaoyao to misunderstand him.
“Fine, I thought that you cared about me, but you’re really cold.” Leng Xiaoyao pretended to be upset.
“I didn’t mean that…” Li Mochen was slightly anxious. He wanted to explain it.
“So what do you mean?” Leng Xiaoyao asked aggressively.
“I care about you because you’re my friend,” Li Mochen said. He said that Leng Xiaoyao was his friend in case she misunderstood it.
Leng Xiaoyao smiled with satisfaction. Because she had no affection for Li Mochen yet, she didn’t think it was wrong that he took her as a friend. In fact, she was very happy when Li Mochen agreed that they were friends.
The car stopped outside the Leng family’s mansion. Leng Xiaoyao got out and smiled at Li Mochen. “See you, Brother Mochen!”
“See you!” Li Mochen replied.
Watching Leng Xiaoyao walking into the gate and disappearing from his sight, Li Mochen left. However, he couldn’t stop thinking of her smile.
Li Mochen shook his head and immediately got Leng Xiaoyao off his mind.
What happened to him? Did he really fall in love with her? How was that possible?
They just met and she was much younger than him.

Leng Xiaoyao didn’t go to the evening class, so it was only 9 pm when she got home. The Leng family was surprised.
“Yaoyao, why are you home so early?” asked Leng Changyuan.
“I ate with my friend, so I didn’t go to the evening class,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
If so, Leng Changyuan said nothing else.
However, the others had a different feeling.
It was not only the Leng family. Leng Changyuan’s younger brother, Leng Changming and his family, were sitting in the living room as well.
“You didn’t go to the evening class? You really indulge yourself. Uncle Changyuan, you shouldn’t spoil Leng Xiaoyao like that. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll lose her principles? After all, many beautiful young girls have dated boys at a very young age. It seems that they go to school every day, but no one knows what they leave to do.”
It was Leng Changming’s daughter, Leng Xinyue. She was acidic and harsh and had an unpleasant voice.
The Leng family had beautiful genes, so Leng Xinyue was pretty. However, she looked as mean as her character was.
Leng Xinyue was twenty-eight years old and she had married once. She divorced because her ex-husband couldn’t stand her temper and she ruined his dignity.
