Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 365 - The Pot Calling the Kettle Black (3)

"Hey! That's too low, even for someone like you, Li Yuanyi!" Song Fengyan grabbed the other man's elbow, stopping him from leaving. "Don't insult her like that! You know nothing about the truth between us."

Li Yuanyi narrowed his eyes on him for a moment before pulling back his arm from Song Fengyan's hold.

"Fine. I'm sorry. I crossed the line. I shouldn't have said that." He sighed and ran a hand over his face in frustration. Everyone was telling him to talk to Meng Yanran, but it had never been easy to b.a.r.e your heart to anyone just like that.

Like everyone else, Li Yuanyi feared rejection. It hadn't been easy for him to convince his parents to allow him to succeed the family business, because honestly, between him and Li Meili, his sister had a better head when it came to running a business.

Li Meili was a rare genius born into the Li family. She was considered one of a kind, but her off putting attitude and lazy demeanor had caused several headaches, not only to their parents but also to their elders.

Li Meili did everything she wanted and didn't give a single damn about what people think of her. The only person who was able to tame her was the empress. Even Li Yuanyi found it weird that the two could get along well with each other, considering how conflicting their personalities were. historical

Anyway, his little sister had confessed to him that she had no plans in joining their family business because she didn't have any interest in it. Li Meili had wanted him to succeed the business instead of her before she ran away and started her own clothing line, The Black Nightingale.

Just look at how popular The Black Nightingale was right now. His little sister's creation was one of the most sought after in the country and she became a self made billionaire at the age of twenty nine.

All this was achieved without the help of the Li family, who didn't support her dreams and her craft when she was just starting out. Well, it was a good thing for Li Yuanyi because he managed to invest in his sister's business along with the empress.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Li Yuanyi asked Song Fengyan as they watched the plane that Meng Yanran boarded take off in the sky.

Song Fengyan shrugged and buried his hands in his side pockets, following Li Yuanyi's lead as they walked out of the airport.

"Big Boss's orders. I have to make sure Miss Meng was settled in and would arrive at her destination safely." He replied.

"Hmm… It's been years, huh? And you're still the devil's l.a.p dog." Li Yuanyi commented. "Even now, you are willing to come here this early to send Meng Yanran off."

"You're the one to talk, Young Master Li. I have to say your little sister is easier to talk to than you. I feel like I'm talking to a f.u.c.k.i.n.g wall." Song Fengyan muttered with annoyance.

He, along with Feng Tianyi had met Li Yuanyi a few years ago, but they weren't that close as Li Meili's brother had only sought them whenever he wanted to make a deal with the devil.

"And just to be clear, Tianyi isn't the big boss I'm talking about. I meant Tang Moyu, the empress herself."

"What? What do you mean it's Tang Moyu?"

It was Li Yuanyi's turn to be speechless this time. What? What did he mean that the empress was his big boss? Since when did Song Fengyan shift his loyalty from the devil to the empress?

"Don't get me wrong. I'm still Tianyi's executive assistant, but he isn't the only one working in Xiao Xing. Who do you think funded the start up? Tang Moyu and my stupid cousin, who by the way is now head over heels for?her, decided to invest in a diamond business. Plus, Tianyi would stop at nothing to please his woman."

Want to pamper his woman to no end? Li Yuanyi could somewhat understand the devil because he also wanted the same for Meng Yanran. But he knew that wouldn't be possible.

"So you mean Tang Moyu is a partner in Xiao Xing? Who else knows about this?" Li Yuanyi asked curiously.

Did the empress create Xiao Xing Diamond Co. alongside the devil as her safety net, just in case she loses Tang Enterprise to her relatives? Afterall, it wasn't a secret that there was an internal conflict going on within the Tang family since her return from abroad.

"Not many." Song Fengyan said truthfully. "It isn't like she is hiding it from everyone, but she's technically not working on hand at Xiao Xing at the moment. Aside from her expert advice, everything else is dealt with by me and Tianyi. You have no idea how much of a perfectionist that woman is!"

Li Yuanyi hummed and checked the time on his wristwatch. It was too early for him to head to work.

"At least give the empress some credit. You gotta admire how hard working she is." He pointed out.

Song Fengyan wanted to argue, but he knew deep down that Li Yuanyi was right. They were able to avoid major problems so far because he and Feng Tianyi followed the plan Tang Moyu had prepared earlier.

Also, the empress was totally at another level. If he thought that He Lianchen was a workaholic whose veins were filled with coffee instead of blood, his friend was no match against the empress. He simply paled in comparison.

Tang Moyu's dedication and unwavering attention at work was something Song Fengyan had never seen in anyone. If other people had plan B or plan C, the fallen empress would have already laid out back up plans from B to Z, considering all possibilities before making a decision.

Perhaps this was the reason why she gained her title the 'Empress of the Business World',because she was able to create a miracle and save companies from the brink of bankruptcy.
