Xu Lang was tempted. Having a company of such a large scale would mean that Xu Lang would have a place in the Xu family in the future. The Xu family must carefully consider Xu Lang's words.

Xu Lang agreed to Jiang Chen's plan, but the Shi family's determination was stronger than he thought.

He originally thought that with the threat of Yushu Buyi, the Shi family would no longer harass him with infringement cases.

Unexpectedly, the Shi family, who could hardly protect themselves, came to help Yuan Shu. The third young lady, the most unruly of the Shi family, kept harassing him, causing him to lose his clothing store.

Over the past month, he has endured countless contempt and ridicule from the Xu family. If it weren't for Jiang Chen's order, Xu Lang's affairs would not have been exposed, and Xu Lang would have explained it clearly to them long ago!

Forget it, luckily I still have my company, so what if I go against Yuan Shu?

A month ago, Li Ran and Gao Shan went through the divorce procedures and they were officially divorced.

The day she came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Li Ran felt more relaxed than ever before. After so many years, she knew it was time to let go, but she couldn't bear to do so. When the fatigue finally dissipated, the relaxation made Li Ran look more mature.

On the way back, she rolled down the window of the back seat of her red Lincoln and asked the man she had loved for many years with a smile: "Want a ride?"

Gao Shan also felt a lot more relieved. After being suppressed by Li Ran for so many years, he could finally communicate with her calmly. This was also the result that Gao Shan had fantasized about countless times, but in fact, Gao Shan had never loved Li Ran wholeheartedly.

He nodded and sat in the passenger seat, "Please take me to the company office..." After thinking for a moment, he added the reason, "Li Ci wants to discuss something with me."

When the car was about to arrive at the company, Li Ran suddenly asked him: "What are you going to do with the baby in Chu Mei's belly?"

Gao Shan said in a gentle tone, "This is my first child, of course I have to raise him."

"Then...what about Chu Mei?" Although he knew that the answer would trouble him, Li Ran still asked.

"She can raise the child herself. I won't marry an actress."

Gao Shan was still so cruel. Li Ran sneered. After so many years, she finally saw the true face of this man. She was blinded by her own fantasies before.

Li Ran didn't say anything else. After dropping Gao Shan off at the company gate, he drove away.

The conversation between Gao Shan and Li Ci was not a very pleasant one either.

Li Ci was waiting in Gao Shan's office. When he saw Gao Shan coming back, he said straight to the point, "The Li family has always cut off all ties. Since you have divorced Li Ran, there is no need for us to have any further relationship."

Gao Shan still had an indifferent attitude at this time. Now that the company was rich and he had connections, what difference did it make whether he relied on the Li family or not?

Gao Shan became arrogant in front of Li Ci, "Tell me what you want to do."

Li Ci sneered, "Do you think that now that you have everything, you can talk to me so arrogantly?"

Gao Shan looked at Li Ci sitting in his seat with disdain in his eyes, "After all, this company is mine, and I am the real boss! What about you? With your status, can you show up in the business world with dignity?"

Li Ci finally understood Gao Shan's true thoughts. He has been following his orders for so many years and his patience is unmatched by ordinary people. Li Ci couldn't help but applaud.

"I really underestimated your nerve."

Li Ci threw a folder to Gao Shan, "Why don't you open it and take a look at the contents before deciding how to talk to me!"

Gao Shan opened the folder in confusion. When he saw the contents inside, his face turned pale, "...Uncle."

He immediately changed his plans and tried to please him.

In the folder were the termination contracts of all the manufacturers and companies he had ever worked with. With Li Ci's intervention, both parties terminated the contract peacefully, and Gao Shan would not get any liquidated damages!

As the saying goes, there are unlucky people. The reason why these people cooperate with Gao Shan is because they have the support of the Li family behind them. They think that if they can help Li Ci and gain some face for themselves, things will go more smoothly in the future.

Without Gao Shan, the Li family will still have Zhang Shan and Wang Shan in the future, but if Gao Shan loses the support of the Li family, he will be nothing.

Everyone knows this, but Gao Shan has always thought too highly of himself.

Gao Shan panicked and knelt in front of Li Ci, "Uncle, can you let me go? If these people terminate their contracts with the company, I will go bankrupt!"

Li Ci didn't even look at him, but just admired the expensive jade ring he had just bought. Wearing it on his thumb, the jade ring reflected an emerald green luster under the sunlight.

"From the day you lied to Li Ran, you should have thought of this outcome. You should have just behaved yourself, but you were too anxious and even let Chu Mei implicate Shi Xiao. You are so stupid!"

Li Ci never knew that he could be so talkative, it was just that he felt sorry for his niece.

From childhood to adulthood, he and his niece have been closer than anyone else because they are of similar age, even closer than Li Ci and her sister.

He still remembered how naughty they were when they were little, secretly setting off fireworks without being noticed by adults, and finally they ran into a group of hooligans by the river. At that time, they didn't have bodyguards with them, so they couldn't beat the hooligans at all.

One of the gangsters pointed fireworks at Li Ci and demanded that he give in. But Li Ci was very proud and would never give in to these gangsters.

Seeing that Li Ci did not give in, the gangster was furious and actually lit the fireworks. When the sparks devoured the fuse, a loud bang rang in the ears of Li Ci and Li Ran. At that time, Li Ci was completely frightened. He stayed where he was, watching the burning fireworks getting closer and closer to him.

At the critical moment, Li Ran pushed him away. The fireworks brushed past Li Ran's shoulder, her clothes were burned, and a burn mark was left on her shoulder.

When the smell of burnt meat wafted over, the gangster realized that he had hurt her, and he panicked and quickly threw away the fireworks in his hand and ran away.

Fireworks kept exploding at the feet of Li Ci and Li Ran. Amid Li Ran's cries of pain, Li Ci hugged her tightly. When the fireworks stopped, Li Ci immediately carried Li Ran to the hospital.

That day, Li Ci's sister beat him up, but an indelible scar was still left on Li Ran's shoulder.

Later, Li Ci tried many ways to remove the scar, but gave up because Li Ran found it too troublesome.

Li Ran said nonchalantly: "It's not on my face, why should I do that?"

At that time, Li Ci secretly decided that no matter what, he would protect his niece and not let her get hurt. If anyone disliked her because of the scar in the future, he would make that person pay the price.

As for the hooligans who beat them up, Li Ci was trapped in politics and had no choice but to pay people to burn their faces with fireworks.

It was also from that time that Li Ci decided not to get involved in politics anymore.

But he is a relative of Li Ran's mother, and for Li Ran's sake, he cannot enter the business world, so he became a wanderer who dabbles in various fields.

After Li Ran married Gao Shan, Li Ci used Gao Shan as his pawn in the business world, founded a company, and made huge profits.

So, although this company belongs to Gao Shan in name, it actually belongs to Li Ci.
