Chapter 297
Chen Li followed Anna all the way to the hotel. She didn’t dare to keep too close to him. Afraid of being discovered, she parked the car far away. The lights in the car were not turned on, and it was hard to see her clearly from the outside and inside. She squinted at the outside of the car and saw Anna getting out of the luxury car. The driver also got out of the car with Anna. After that, he handed the car key to the young man at the hotel. The elegant man and Anna entered the hotel together.
Obviously, Anna lived in this six-star hotel.
Chen Li always felt that the man was a little familiar. She had been with Ryan for many years. Although he never took her to meet high officials and rich families in public, she had been immersed in the rich and powerful families for many years. She always paid attention to the young talents in Haleston City. She always felt that she had seen this man who traveled with Anna in some magazine.
Chen Li took out her apple cell phone and looked through her WeChat Moments. She had added a WeChat group of rich and powerful women. These women talked about who was the best in the entertainment industry all day long, or introduced any rich and powerful woman in Haleston City to be friends with their daughters. Maybe they could make a marriage between rich and powerful families.
Sure enough, Chen Li asked once and soon got the answer. This man was called Zayden, the person in charge of Quest Group. He was young and promising. He was a rising star in Haleston City in the past two years. Unfortunately, Zayden had a famous girlfriend, Susan. He was the most beautiful woman in Haleston City and had a high reputation. He was the goddess in many men’s minds.
In the WeChat group, rich and powerful women loved to talk about men, especially young and handsome men. Most of them were women whose husbands had not loved or been dissatisfied with them all year round. They all felt sorry that Zayden had a girlfriend. Otherwise, he would have tried his best to make a match for his daughter. What a good son-in-law, but it was a pity that he was not their son-in-law.
Chen Li put down her mobile phone. When she saw the name of Zayden, she thought of this person. Her daughter, Sophie, had mentioned Zayden to her before. She seemed to say that this man had a relationship with Nelissa. The two were very ambiguous. At that time, Sophie was still full of confidence that she did not treat Nelissa as an opponent. With Edward’s fickle character, Nelissa could only be a supporting role who was thrown away by others for fun. However, she had never thought that Edward would have a crush on such an unbearable Nelissa.
Sophie had never expected that her wrong decision would make Edward even more obsessed with Nelissa. Instead, she set them up.
Chen Li hated Sophie for being disappointing. In the past, she had lost to Anna, but now she had lost to Nelissa. Sophie was inferior in all aspects, and she was not popular in the Bailey family. Chen Li complained deeply in her heart. The illegitimate child she had picked up was the illegitimate child she had picked up. Even if she was raised as a daughter, she could not be a real daughter.
Chen Li didn’t want to count on Sophie anymore.
She remembered this hotel, so she drove away and went to a nightclub to get drunk. Anyway, Ryan would not take the initiative to come to her. She had lost sleep for many days, so she had to rely on alcohol for anesthesia tonight.
It was not only a place for young people to indulge in luxury, but also a place for lonely young women.
Chen Li didn’t have a private room. Instead, she sat outside and looked at the young bodies on the dance floor. Young and strong men always felt good. Chen Li liked to be with tall and strong men.
“Sister Li, you haven’t been here for a long time. Do you want me to introduce a few handsome guys to you?” Yan Mei was the general manager of this nightclub. When she was young, she was the young lady of this nightclub with Chen Li. Chen Li was on the shore in the morning. It took her several years to make a name for herself. Now she was in charge of several nightclubs and her hands were full of money.
“You don’t have to look for it. I’ll just drink some wine and chat with you.” Chen Li was cautious. During this period of time, she didn’t dare to play around for fear of being caught.
The corners of Yan Mei’s mouth twitched and a look of disgust flashed across her eyes. As she filled Chen Li’s glass with wine, she said with a fawning smile, “Sister Li, do you have something on your mind? I see that you’ve become much more haggard, but women can’t help but become old after doing so.”
Chen Li drank a few cups of wine, and the alcohol was strong. Her face was as red as a woman in her twenties, and the resentment in her heart was deeper. She pointed to her face and said, “I just can’t figure out why I can’t compare with Lin Xue. No matter how old I am, I can’t be older than Lin Xue. Ryan actually wants to get rid of me and marry this old woman. I think he is blind!”
Yan Mei secretly laughed and poured Chen Li another glass of wine. She sincerely wanted to laugh at her. “What are you afraid of? Don’t you have a daughter like Sophie? You will definitely be able to knock away quite a lot of his fortune. When the time comes, you can take the house tickets and find a man who loves you to marry you.”
Chen Li sneered and gulped down a glass of strong alcohol. She leaned on the table and muttered, “Sophie? F*ck, she’ll starve to death sooner or later on the street…” She said vaguely, “It’s not that you don’t know that she’s not my daughter. You thought that you could raise a daughter and make money for me to live in retirement. Who knows that she’s so sick that she can’t even afford an egg. Which man would marry her… a money-losing woman?”
When Chen Li was young, she was very poor. What she cooked in this industry was young food. Chen Li was afraid that she would not be able to make a living after getting older, so she raised a cheap daughter. It was also something that the young ladies in the same industry did not want. She ate and wore well. In the future, she would not do this. At least, she had a daughter to support her.
Unexpectedly, Sophie was so useless. Chen Li regretted raising her.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Yan Mei said, “That young lady went back to her hometown and got married and had children. She had already broken off contact with her daughter. She didn’t dare to come back to find her daughter. If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you. Who will know? Don’t be upset.” After that, she poured another glass of wine for Chen Li.
Chen Li, who was drunk, asked her, “How are you doing here? Do you still care about Xie Jun?”
“Do you mean to solve the boss?” Yan Mei paused for a few seconds, looked elsewhere, and then said, “Boss Xie has withdrawn the funds a long time ago. I have already occupied several nightclubs that he used to be in charge of. Now he is different from before and has no reputation. I heard before that Xie Jun is about to collapse.”
Chen Li was in a much better mood. She also drank up a bottle of wine. “It’s good. It’s good that Xie Jun is in trouble.” If she fell, Anna would no longer be a threat.
Yan Mei asked with a faint smile, “Elder Sister Li, why do you suddenly care about the boss?”
Chen Li didn’t say anything. She lay on the table and was drunk.
Yan Mei’s expression changed. In a low and disgusting voice, she said, “Bitch.”
Back then, she was the one who had hooked up with Ryan. If it weren’t for Chen Li, she would have been the one living a luxurious life. It was not Chen Li’s turn to show off! Not only did she steal her things, but she also introduced her to a few old men after going ashore and tortured her for several years. Fortunately, she was finally able to stand out.
Yan Mei kicked Chen Li hard. Knowing that Chen Li was drunk, she got up and left. The people of the nightclub came to find her and said that the boss had asked her to go to the office to see him.

The next morning.
Nelissa was having breakfast, and there was some foam on the corner of her mouth. Edward raised her finger to wipe it for her and ate it herself. She looked down at the newspaper from time to time and suddenly frowned. Nelissa asked him what was wrong and took a closer look at the daily newspaper he was reading.
Edward said, “Chen Li had a car accident last night.”
