After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1056 The Fuse of Total Defeat

Since it’s all acting, might as well play the part with a bit more investment.

Leng Zimo knew very well that the crux of the Seo Fei incident was to deceive this woman; as long as he succeeded in fooling her, the matter would be half done.

This woman liked him, and just this point alone was enough for him to exploit.

Leng Zimo was not someone who liked to exploit women, but, in his eyes, being willing to use Seo Fei was already giving her a great deal of face.

Seo Fei had no idea what Leng Zimo’s true intentions were and just assumed he had changed due to her new position, feeling delighted. Hastily she said, ”President Leng, you’re too kind. Previously, it was my work that wasn’t up to par.”

”Drink!”

Leng Zimo raised his glass at her and downed his champagne in one gulp.

Seo Fei immediately brought her glass to her lips and also drank her wine in one go.

”Wait a moment!” Handing her the glass, Leng Zimo turned and left, returning shortly with a bottle of red wine in hand. He filled both their glasses, placed the bottle aside, and took the glass from her again, ”This one is to celebrate our pleasant cooperation.”

”To a pleasant cooperation!” Seo Fei immediately clinked her glass with his.

Leng Zimo swirled his glass lightly, ”Speaking of which, I was really surprised when I saw you that day.”

”If it weren’t for what happened to my father, I don’t think I would have returned to the Seo Family.” Seo Fei feigned sadness, ”Thinking back now, I truly regret not seeing my father one last time.”

Suppressing his inner disgust, Leng Zimo raised his bandaged hand and gently patted her back, ”Life and death, sickness and health, these are all unpredictable. Now that you’re taking over the Seo Family and continuing Mr. Xu’s work, I’m sure if he knows in heaven, he would be at peace.”

Feeling his rare gentleness, Seo Fei’s heart grew even more joyful, and she naturally rested her head on his shoulder, ”Thank you, President Leng.”

Smelling her perfume, Leng Zimo felt an irresistible aversion. He deliberately let out a soft gasp as if in pain, and Seo Fei, thinking she had hurt his injured arm, quickly moved away, ”I’m sorry, did I hurt your arm?”

Leng Zimo shrugged self-mockingly, ”I’m almost a cripple now!”

Though mocking himself aloud, he secretly felt fortunate.

Thankfully, with the injury on his arm, he didn’t have to hug her; just the thought of it made him want to vomit.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lin Huo, who was standing not far away holding a glass, appearing to wander around aimlessly but actually keeping a close watch on him and Seo Fei. A hint of an unusual color flashed in Leng Zimo’s eyes, but he deliberately said, ”Your assistant seems to be looking for you.”

Seo Fei turned her face and looked towards Lin Huo’s direction, frowning with annoyance.

This Lin Huo must be distrustful of her!

Leng Zimo caught her expression and keenly sensed that the relationship between Seo Fei and Lin Huo was not very harmonious. During this period, Tang Ming had never appeared, so it seemed Lin Huo must be the one Tang Ming arranged to stay by Seo Fei’s side.

According to this situation, it appeared that even the trust between Tang Ming and Seo Fei wasn’t absolute either.

Excellent!

A barely noticeable smirk flashed across Leng Zimo’s eyes.

In the business world, he had always been invincible, relying not only on his calm and ruthless nature but also on his exceptional observational and decision-making skills. This tiny discovery might become the fuse for the opponent’s complete downfall in the future.
