Chapter 5: Enemies On a Narrow Road

As soon as Le Lin returned home, he took out his tablet and quickly tapped on it a few times. The screen then changed to the scene in the cruise ship’s restaurant.

Le Lin used other people’s video recordings to cover up the few scenes of him taking off his mask to eat.

Le Yu looked at her son’s operation and asked, “Only a fragment was deleted?”

Le Lin raised his head and said proudly, “Mommy, you’re testing me again. Of course, I deleted it and then covered it up.”

After saying that, Le Lin raised his little face and obediently waited for Le Yu’s praise.

Le Yu looked at Le Lin’s adorable appearance and praised him without any hesitation, “My son is the best and the most amazing.”

After hearing this, Le Lin was immediately overjoyed.

When Le Ning saw that her brother was being praised, she also came up to Le Yu and asked, “Mommy, isn’t Ning Ning amazing too?”

Le Yu hugged Le Ning and happily kissed Le Ning’s pink and soft little face. She said gently, “Mmm, our Baby Ning is amazing too!”

Although Le Ning was born with poor body coordination, her sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and she had great talent in making perfume.

Le Lin also looked at his sister lovingly and said, “My sister is the best!”

Being praised by her mother and brother, Le Ning’s eyes curved into crescents and her face turned red with joy.

When Le Yu saw the scene in front of her, her heart was particularly at peace. However, when she thought of her eldest son, whose whereabouts were still unknown, a trace of sorrow filled her heart.

Early the next morning, Le Yu arrived at the research institute that she was going to cooperate with.

This research institute was a medical research industry that the Li family had invested in. If possible, Le Yu did not want to come here from the bottom of her heart.

Unfortunately, one of the medicinal herbs used to treat Le Ning’s body imbalance had long gone extinct, and the last one was recorded in this research institute.

When she thought of how Le Ning was able to be like a normal child, no longer falling over and getting injured all over, even if it was a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, she, Le Yu, would still go and try it, let alone a mere research institute.

When Le Yu entered the room, she immediately explained her purpose of visit to the front desk. When the front desk learned of Le Yu’s identity, they called the people above and personally led Le Yu to the elevator.

When she was waiting for the elevator, she met Gu Yue, who was about to get on the elevator.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue was also stunned when she saw Le Yu. Then, she remembered that Le Yu was also a medical student. Now that she had come to the research institute, she instantly understood that Le Yu was here for an interview.

There was an interview for a new researcher today.

Thinking of this, Gu Yue looked at the front desk with an unkind expression and said, “This is Brother Li’s private elevator. What’s wrong with you? How dare you bring any cheap woman into this elevator?”

The receptionist was stunned. Why did Gu Yue speak so harshly? However, thinking of Gu Yue’s identity, the receptionist explained politely, “Miss Le is li…”

Before the receptionist could finish her words, she was interrupted by Gu Yue’s sharp voice. “Hurry up and get her out of here. This is an internationally-renowned research institute. Not just any random doctor from the countryside can come in for an interview.”

“Random doctor? The countryside? Gu Yue, are you talking about yourself? Oh, no, you can’t even be considered a doctor.” Le Yu looked at Gu Yue and spoke mockingly.

Gu Yue’s face turned ferocious as if she had been exposed. A loser, a poor girl, rustic, low-level, not presentable, a country bumpkin, poor… These labels instantly pierced deeply into Gu Yue’s fragile heart like sharp arrows following Le Yu’s words.

This was a past that Gu Yue had never wanted to mention.

However, Gu Yue thought about how she had covered up her past for so many years, and that she was now a top student who graduated from a famous university abroad and a researcher in this world-class research institute. She had nothing to be afraid of.

Gu Yue’s face eased up a little as she arrogantly said, “Hmph, I’m an official researcher at this research institute. You don’t deserve to be here. Call security in and throw this unknown person out.”

The front desk immediately panicked. This was an important guest invited by President Li. She quickly went up to explain, but was frightened by Gu Yue’s sharp eyes.

Thinking of Gu Yue and President Li’s relationship, the receptionist didn’t even dare to say anything.

On one side was President Li’s guest, and on the other side was the woman accompanying President Li. This wasn’t something a small front desk receptionist like her could manage.

Just as the receptionist was in a dilemma, the door opened and Li Feng entered with his men.

When Gu Yue saw Li Feng, her arrogance immediately disappeared without a trace. She said in a sweet voice, “Brother Li, someone’s causing trouble here.”

The front desk staff immediately stepped forward and said, “Mr. Li, this is the guest you invited, Ms. Kyra.”
