Chapter 523: Chapter 523

"Hey, look at the one in the white dress, that’s a princess," Leng Lingxiao paused and added, "She’s the youngest daughter of the Queen of M country."

"You’re not going to leave me to go talk to her, are you?"

"Kidding, how could I? I’m more worried you’d leave me for some Prince."

Tang Xiaowan responded with a sweet smile.

She was obviously joking, but she was still somewhat puzzled by the butterfly hair clip on her head, incredibly shocked to find such a story intertwined.

It seems even the Queen was once crazy about her daughter!

But when the Princess from M country turned around, Tang Xiaowan’s face was the epitome of awkwardness.

Oh well, even if she’s the youngest daughter, she must be almost seventy by now.

"From the back, I thought... oh my!"

"People with self-discipline defy age, they age gracefully, just like my grandmother."

Tang Xiaowan nodded in agreement.

My grandmother is indeed graceful.

No matter when she goes out, she’s always neatly dressed, her hair combed perfectly, not only exuding great charisma but also maintaining a fantastic figure.

"She seems to be looking at you."

"They are probably looking at the hair clip, wondering how it ended up on a foreigner’s head."

"Yeah, and a pretty foreigner at that!"

"Stop it, not again."

The jewelry Tang Xiaowan wore today was not overly luxurious; it was moderately stylish, and so was the butterfly hair clip, which just happened to be connected to the royal family.

If it hadn’t been for the presence of reporters, the Princess from M country might have come over to chat with her for a bit.

In the end, they just exchanged smiles as greetings.

"Spill it, how much did it cost?" She touched the hair clip on her head, starting to suspect its price might be astronomical.

"Just a tiny bit more expensive than that bracelet of yours."

"Really? Don’t lie to me!"

Leng Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, "Of course."

The sudden snap from the reporters naturally caught the attention of the bodyguards, but Zhao Renjie had previously instructed them to not interfere as long as it didn’t hinder the lady from watching the match.

But that didn’t apply to Li Zishen’s men.

"Brother Zhao, there’s a car," a bodyguard slightly turned his head, signaling Zhao Renjie to look right.

"I guess it is... oh well, let it be."

Meanwhile, Bai Long reported to Li Zishen on Tang Xiaowan’s location, the number of bodyguards, and also sent several pictures of her flipping her hair.

"So beautiful, like a little fairy!"

"Still so fond of small floral prints."

Li Zishen was sitting at a large rosewood desk, with several documents neatly arranged on it, the computer screen emitting a soft glow that illuminated his well-defined facial features.

The entire suite was lavishly decorated.

He wore a dark shirt, slightly open at the collar, his gestures exuding both seriousness and a casual air.

After a moment, Li Zishen put down his phone, thoughtfully looking out the window: It turns out you prefer red, that explains the jewelry choice.

I shouldn’t have used sapphire for the proposal last time!

The Li family owned two top-quality heirloom sapphires, highly valuable. One had been made into a ring exclusively for Yi Xiaodan by Li Zhenshan, and the other was used by Li Zishen in his proposal to Tang Xiaowan.

Regrettably, both rings now lay quietly in the safe of Li Garden.

Neither father nor son had managed to fulfill their efforts completely.

"Brother Shen, he has arrived," a bodyguard approached briskly, respectfully reporting.

Li Zishen gently nodded.

Then, he saw a somewhat overweight middle-aged man slowly approaching, accompanied by a strikingly beautiful woman.

The seductive posture and charming smile made everyone’s heart flutter with every step she took.

The assistant secretly guessed in his heart, "A transvestite?"

Who cares what she is, all who come are guests.

The Li family had originally made their fortunes in the pharmaceutical industry, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. To this day, many clans still maintained close relations with the Li family, largely owing to Mr. Li Zishen’s father.

But Li Zhenshan had been deceased for many years, and the responsibility of maintaining these relationships naturally fell on Li Zishen’s shoulders.

Standing before him was a slightly plump middle-aged man, the helmsman of the Shen Family, who dealt in the medicinal materials business. Learning that he too had come to watch the yacht race, Li Zishen invited him to have a small gathering in his presidential suite. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net

Meeting someone is worth three parts favor, which would make discussing the pharmaceutical cooperation much more comfortable.

"President Shen, long time no see!"

"Yes, indeed," the middle-aged man smiled and shook hands firmly with Li Zishen, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. "I was wondering, Mr. Li..."

"Rest assured, I won’t make your trip a wasted one," Li Zishen’s thin lips curled up slightly as he responded.

"Oh? That’s wonderful!"

Hearty laughter immediately broke out.

After briefly exchanging pleasantries, Li Zishen signaled everyone to head to the dining room, displaying a composure not unlike his father, Li Zhenshan, back in the day.

Half an hour later, at a seaside restaurant.

The interior was beautifully decorated with an exotic flair, and most of the guests there were couples.

"Wow, Little Black Dragon, what a coincidence!"

Actually, Tang Xiaowan had known since this morning that Bai Long had come to Country T with Li Zishen, and she was more than familiar with his voice.

Yet, she still pretended to be surprised as she turned around and then looked at him with a beaming smile.

"May I have a word with you?" Bai Long extended his right hand and pointed to the nearby tea-tasting area. "It won’t take long, at most three minutes."

It was a quiet area with few guests.

Tang Xiaowan only considered briefly before she followed him to the tea-tasting area.

The person responsible for protecting her was nearby, and she could shout if anything abnormal happened, not to mention the brooch she wore was equipped with a positioning system.

Once she left the safety range, a signal would be emitted and Leng Lingxiao would be notified immediately.

"The printing press incident has nothing to do with Brother Shen; he had no prior knowledge of it. Because he was worried about your safety, Brother Shen even sent me to follow you there. The person who tricked you into going to the printing press was dealt with by me."

Implicitly it was all Yuan Min’s doing.

Tang Xiaowan bit her lower lip.

No wonder she found nothing in the car; it had been handled by him!

"Oh, so it was like that. That guy is too detestable, he almost got me... Thank you, and if you ever need anything, just ask."

"So Mr. Leng is very angry, right?"

She had thought Bai Long was there to plead Li Zishen’s innocence, but his ultimate goal was to talk about Boxin.

Trying to fish for information, huh? Dream on!

With that thought, she touched the tip of her nose and asked earnestly, "What?"

Her bright, shiny eyes twinkled, her tone filled with confusion as if she genuinely didn’t understand what Bai Long was referring to.

"Boxin Hospital had a fire last night," Bai Long thought she really didn’t understand and explained.

He really is trying to start from me.

"Oh, that? I heard about it."

"So I wanted to ask Lady Tang, did Mr. Leng also have his..."

"Did he also have things stored there, all destroyed?"

Just then, Tang Xiaowan’s phone suddenly rang. She looked down briefly and then answered: "Mmm, okay, got it."

Bai Long inwardly remarked: Was that on purpose?
