Mu Che nodded and gestured to their bodyguards. They held her arms and dragged her out of the office as she continued to cry and beg.
"No….No… Leave me… Miss Lu….Please tell them to leave me…"Li Daiyu shouted while crying.
Lu Lan clenched her fist and lowered her head. In front of Li Daiyu, she looked ruthless, but inside, she felt horrible for Shen Jiu, for separating him from his mother. Si Li looked at her and understood how was she feeling. Of course, being in the Underworld, he had taken a similar kind of action many times.
As it was said that 'When bulls fight, crops suffer [1]'
Si Li wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her "You did well" he told her looking at her with gentleness in his eyes.
"But… I feel bad for Mr. Shen and for his son. It's not their fault" Lu Lan said in a sad tone.
"Don't worry, I will think of something for them" Si Li assured her stroking her back gently.
"Hmm," Lu Lan nodded and hugged him back.
She knew that Si Li wouldn't let them suffer, those who showed their loyalty towards him would always have his support.
"Aiyo…. How can both of you do this to me? I am not interested in dog food Okay! We are currently in the office, can't you guys control yourselves?" Mo Jinnan complained after seeing the lovey-dovey couple.
Lu Lan immediately parted from Si Li's embrace after hearing Mo Jinnan's complaints and her face was blushing furiously. Si Li, on the other hand, showed his shamelessness "It's my office. I can do whatever I want. If you have any problems, you can leave".
"You…!" Mo Jinnan narrowed his eyes and gave an unpleasant look.
"Mr. Mo, why don't you marry Miss Song? I am sure that after your marriage, your father can't do anything against both of you" Lu Lan suggested.
Of course, after their marriage, Mo Jun couldn't do anything, but the fact was Mo Jinnan couldn't marry anyone without his father's consent. His expression changed after hearing Lu Lan, but instantly he hid his expression and showed a smile. Si Li saw Mo Jinnan's expression, but he didn't say anything.
Mu Che came inside the office again "President, Master Mo has arrived shall I let him up?".
Mo Jinnan looked at Si Li confused and asked: "My Dad… What is he doing here?"
"You will know soon" Si Li gave a short reply to Mo Jinnan and looked at Mu Che "Let him in".
"Yes, President" Mu Che bowed and left.
After Mu Che left, Mo Jinnan again asked with a serious expression "What are you planning?"
Si Li ignored him and looked at Lu Lan "Stay here, afterwards we will go home".
Lu Lan smiled and nodded "Hmm".
Although Lu Lan was already used to Si Li's behavior, where he would leave everyone in suspense, she still felt uneasy after seeing the tense environment between Si Li and Mo Jinnan. It was the first time she had seen an angry look on Mo Jinnan's face. After a few moments, Mo Jun came inside and sat on another sofa opposite to Mo Jinnan.
Mo Jun was in the military before he left and started his business, afterward he joined the Underworld.
His body was muscular as an army man and he still looked young despite his age being around 55. He was a very good friend of Si Li's father. After the death of Si Li's father, he treated Si Li as his son, like Mo Jiang and Mo Jinnan.
When Si Li married Lu Lan, he was unhappy, but still, he didn't say anything to Si Li because it was not his place to tell Si Li anything about Si Li's personal matters.
When Mo Jinnan had gotten engaged with Song Tianxin, on the other hand, he rejected their relationship and while Mo Corporation was in crisis, he put force on Mo Jinnan to break his engagement with Song Tianxin. As a result, Mo Jinnan had reluctantly broken his engagement with Song Tianxin. Mo Jun wasn't able to completely cut off their relationship even then.
"Uncle Mo, Thank you for coming here," Si Li said in a firm voice.
Mo Jun nodded "Hmm… Tell me, what do you want? Why have you called me here?".
"I am sorry, Uncle Mo, but I don't think I can continue the partnership of Si Corporation and Mo Corporation," Si Li stated without any emotion showing on his face. Both Mo Jun and Mo Jinnan expressions changed drastically.
Partnership canceled…
What did this mean?...
Mo Jinnan knew that after a lot of effort Mo Corporation was able to overcome the crisis and now if their partnership with Si Corporation got canceled, it would be another headache for Mo Jinnan.
But… wait… Why did Si Li want to cancel their partnership?...
