Given Li Mengs sexual orientation, marriage was out of the question for her.

Since that was the case, all the more she should protect her family.

Now if she succeeded, at the very least their relationship would be closer, not to mention how grateful Mu Xichen might be.

This way, the Li Family would be better protected and be in a better standing.

However, this was not without risks of course.

If she succeeded, she would have a bright future, but if she failed

Li Meng knew very well the sort of person Lin Ya was.

If she angered him, their family would suffer for sure.

And if Mu Xichen decided not to help them, the Li Family would be at the mercy of other people.

Lin Kerou knew that Li Meng was a rational person and was not anxious. She waited for her answer.

After about half a minute, Li Meng said, Ill try.

Li Beinian felt as though she had slept for a long time. The hotel room had excellent soundproofing, and it was quiet.

When she woke up, she realized that her surroundings looked different.

Uh, it seemed to be around Noon already.

Li Beinian sat up at once. This sudden movement startled the man beside her.

Mu Xichen opened his eyes in a daze. Sensing her anxiety, he was quickly wide awake.

He straightened his arm and drew her closer to him. Lifting his leg and placing it over hers, he asked, Whats up?

Let go! Im going to be late! Li Beinian tried to push him away with her arms and legs. I have an appointment for 8 am today. Look at the time now!

Its been rescheduled, Mu Xichen said as he pinned her down firmly next to him. They all know about it, so theyve postponed your filming schedule for now. Well go when youre properly awake.

When Li Beinian heard Mu Xichens remark that was made so casually, she took a deep breath, turned around and said, Damn it, your company doesnt own this movie. Are you tired of living!

Who says we dont own it? Mu Xichen pursed his lips and continued calmly, Youre now the biggest investor in Stinging Vine. You can film whenever you want. Well talk about it after your nap.

Li Beinian was stunned. What do you mean?

Oh. Mu Xichen saw that she was in a daze and couldnt help leaning over to kiss her nose. Exactly what I said.

Ah! Li Beinian wailed. You wastrel, is there really a need to do this!

Do what? Mu Xichen held her firmly in his arms and looked at her teasingly.

Wastrel! Li Beinian rebuked. This was someone elses business. Now that youve invested in it at a high price, would you be able to recover your capital?

Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow slightly and smiled. Who told you it was someone elses? Hasnt Sheng An always been the biggest investor?

Huh? When did this happen? Li Beinian was stunned again. Is this for real?

Why would I lie to you? Mu Xichen pinched her face. Just that it was mine before, and now its yours. The entire Sheng An is yours.

Li Beinian widened her eyes. What do you mean?

In a few days, well settle the ownership transfer. It only takes a signature.

Li Beinian was still in a daze. Then, Mu Xichen picked her up and said, Are you hungry? Ill take you out for some food.

Li Beinian said, In other words, not only did you buy over Stinging Vine, but you also gave Sheng An to me?
