CHAPTER 643: CHAPTER 560: FEARING THE WIFE IS LOVE

Li Si couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Bai Shasha and Jiang Fan talk about these things. She thought to herself, the reason her face has changed so much isn’t because of the products produced by Mo Si, but because of the Space River Water she secretly added.

The three of them discussed skincare issues for a long time, and their conversation eventually turned to North City.

Jiang Fan thought of that Cao Yufan and held back for a while before finally speaking, after Bai Shasha went to the restroom: "Sisi, I remember Cao Yufan’s mom works in the same unit as Shasha’s mom. Since she’s getting married, it’s certain they’ll come to the wedding, right?"

"When that happens, seeing how well-off the family Shasha is marrying into is, she’ll surely have some thoughts about it."

Li Si chuckled, "That’s for sure. Shasha and I have talked about how Cao Yufan’s mom is quite clueless. She works in the same unit as Mrs. Bai, so it’s unlikely she won’t come, though it’s possible she might just send a gift instead of showing up."

She thought about how Bai Shasha mimicked Cao Yufan over the phone and couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotions.

Thinking back to her past life, the two of them were like bickering lovers who went through many ups and downs to end up together.

Unlike this life, where Meng Xi appeared and ruined things between them.

But everything has two sides. Looking at it now, Meng Xi might have done a good thing. If it weren’t for her, if Bai Shasha really ended up with Cao Yufan, with his mother around, life probably wouldn’t have been peaceful either.

Now with Xu Er and his family, no matter how you look at it, they’re great. As long as Xu Er doesn’t cross any fundamental lines in the future, there shouldn’t be any major issues between them. Minor squabbles are normal—what couple doesn’t argue and bicker as they grow old together?

Their personalities, living habits, and ways of thinking are different, so some small clashes are inevitable.

As long as one party can be tolerant and understanding, there’s usually no big conflict.

Jiang Fan scoffed, "And then there’s that Cao Yufan. Did you see how he looked the other day near our school? It was absolutely nauseating."

Jiang Fan couldn’t stand men like Cao Yufan; once you break up, stop lingering around.

And Meng Xi wasn’t any better—they were even in the same club.

"Let’s not talk about him; it’ll just upset Shasha! At best, he’s just an ex-boyfriend. Haven’t you heard the saying? You don’t grow until you’ve experienced a bad man. Now look at how great things are between Shasha and Xu Er!"

"The other day, I even heard Xu Er say that he has to thank Cao Yufan for what he did to Bai Shasha. If he hadn’t wronged her, knowing her temper, wouldn’t she just have kept going down the wrong path? Even if I introduced the two of them, they’d have had no chance!"

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he thought about Xu Er’s devotion to Bai Shasha: "Honestly, I think Xu Er is totally head over heels for Shasha. What’s that phrase again? He’s definitely going to be a henpecked husband in the future!"

Li Si also laughed uncontrollably. Right then, Bai Shasha walked back in and caught the tail end of their conversation. Seeing the two of them laughing wildly, she curiously asked, "What’s so funny? Who’s a henpecked husband?"

Li Si and Jiang Fan answered in unison, "Your Xu Er!"

Bai Shasha tilted her head back and laughed proudly, "Hey, didn’t people always say that being afraid of your wife doesn’t mean fear; it means love! You two should learn from him!"

Which only earned their mock disdain: "Tch!"

The three of them laughed and chatted joyfully. When it was time to work on the project, Li Si took the opportunity to stroll around different areas of Simeng.

The employees were all very supportive and welcoming towards Li Si. As she walked near the office, she ran into the hurried Zhang Qian.

"President Li!"

Li Si looked at her with some confusion. Despite the weather, Zhang Qian had a faint layer of sweat on her forehead. "What happened?"

Having known each other for some time, Li Si was sure something serious was up because Zhang Qian was usually very composed.

Zhang Qian hesitated, looking slightly uncomfortable. She thought about how President Leng had specifically instructed them to report directly to the company if anything happened and not to bother President Li.

But since she’d run into her, she didn’t dare conceal anything. "President Li, here’s the situation. A VIP customer at our club’s highest membership tier is claiming that after using our product, her face had an allergic reaction and developed a lot of pimples. Now she’s downstairs in the lobby making a scene, demanding an explanation from us."

"Since our opening, we’ve never had an issue like this before. And back when this customer first bought the product, it worked so well for her that she even referred several friends over to get memberships. Who’d have thought it’d turn out like this now?"

Li Si had full confidence in her company’s products. Moreover, the products for VIP members were even enhanced with diluted Space River Water—how could such a problem occur?

She remained calm and asked, "So why did you come upstairs?"

Zhang Qian waved her phone. "I called Manager Tang, but she didn’t pick up, so I came up to find her!"

Li Si walked with her toward the office, but they didn’t find Manager Tang there. Her phone was still on the desk, indicating she hadn’t gone far.

"Maybe she went to the restroom. Go check!" Li Si urged her.

Dealing with situations like this, Li Si preferred not to show up personally since Simeng had always been run by others.

Zhang Qian eventually found Manager Tang in the restroom. She was clutching her stomach in pain, her face pale, but she still greeted Li Si respectfully in a weak voice: "President Li, you’re here! Sorry, I’m not feeling too well!"

Seeing her condition, Li Si figured she wouldn’t be of much help downstairs, so she decided to head down with Zhang Qian herself.

Before they even reached the first-floor lobby, they could already hear a sharp female voice yelling, demanding Simeng provide an explanation.

Zhang Qian anxiously looked at Li Si and whispered from behind her, "President Li, should I call the company?"

Simeng only had a few security guards who rotated shifts at the front entrance.

After all, it was a women’s club, and all the customers were female.

But the three women causing the commotion today clearly weren’t here for goodwill—they looked like tough cases.

Everyone was well aware of President Li’s gentle and approachable nature. What would happen if something went wrong?

Li Si thought for a moment. "Yes, make the call."

When they arrived at the lobby, Li Si scanned the scene near the bar area where a group had gathered. Besides Simeng’s staff and some curious customers, three well-dressed middle-aged women stood together, their outfits polished and fashion-forward.

One of them, wearing a blue dress, held a handbag that, in Li Si’s sharp eyes, seemed to be the latest design from a certain luxury brand.

Her figure stood out, but her face was covered with densely packed red pimples topped with whiteheads, making it very uncomfortable to look at.

When the woman saw Li Si and Zhang Qian coming downstairs, her sharp eyes scanned them and she bellowed loudly, "Is this your person in charge? The one running things behind the scenes? Look at my face! Is this how Simeng does business? Do you know how much money I’ve spent? Look at this mess—this is total ruin! If you don’t give me an explanation today, your club can forget about staying open!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to cast recommendations or monthly votes.
