My outside expression is different from my inner expression

Chapter 102.1

 Editor: Jodi

Liu Xiahui returned home with the pears but met Liu Jizhen and Pei Jing at the door of his home.

He couldn’t help but stop, his brows furrowing.

“What are you guys doing here?”

Pei Jing stepped forward, saying, “Xiahui, we’re here to see you.”

Her gaze contained affection, as if there was something about Liu Xiahui that deserved her pity.

And seeing that he didn’t say anything, she continued, “Xiahui, do you know that your Third Uncle has a lover?”

Liu Jizhen’s expression showed that she was also aware.

Liu Xiahui’s brows furrowed even more: “How did you know?”

How did they find out that Li Qingzhou and his Third Uncle were together?!

Liu Jizhen told him: “We also only found out by chance.”

“Xiahui, your third uncle took that woman to the Xia family, showing that he’s serious.”

“If they get married and have children in the future, it won’t be the same for you.”

“People have different degrees of closeness. Sister Pei cares about how you feel, that’s why she’s come to see you.”

Liu Xiahui’s expression turned strange. A woman?!

Then the expression on his face turned calm again—no matter where Liu Jizhen and Pei Jing heard about his third uncle having a lover, it was clear that their information was wrong.

They actually thought Li Qingzhou was a woman.

Liu Xiahui couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing, and the depression he felt from carrying the pears began to dissipate.

Thus, his tone softened subconsciously, “I don’t need your concern, so don’t come here again.”

Then after he was done saying this, he opened the door and went in, showing no intention of inviting Pei Jing and Liu Jizhen in to sit down for a while.

Pei Jing and Liu Jizhen didn’t mind.

And after Liu Xiahui left, Liu Jizhen even said to Pei Jing as they walked back, “Look, his attitude towards you has softened a bit today.”

“From this it can be seen that feelings are only shown through comparison.”

“As long as you continue to be extra good to him and care for him, Xiahui’s heart will one day turn towards you.”

Pei Jing nodded.

……

The day of the competition between the Casper family and the Li Group Corporation in regards to autonomous driving cars finally arrived.

On this day, both parties agreed on a competition venue.

The venue was arranged with certain specifications in mind, hence it was perfectly suitable for testing the functions of autonomous driving cars while they were in motion.

The venue was spacious with a large range, and several live streaming machines had also been set up, along with aerial live streaming equipments.

Some of which had been brought in by Mr. Reese from abroad, showing that he had made thorough preparations for this bet.

And in addition to the venue, there was also a specially designated viewing stand.

Old Master Li and some of the shareholders of the company were also present, however the expressions on their faces didn’t look good at all.

The Li Group Corporation was now completely under Li Qingzhou’s control, hence his decisions were final.

What’s more they couldn’t stop him from agreeing to Reese Casper’s bet request, as they knew it was a decision their president had been forced to make.

Otherwise, the Li Group Corporation would have continued to be suppressed in overseas markets, a situation which would result in significant losses.

Hence their grumbles and dissatisfaction were all directed towards Reese Casper.

Mr. Reese and the Yu family came together, with everyone from the Yu family present, including Mrs. Yu and Pei Jing.

Pei Jing looked okay, however Mother Yu’s expression was arrogant.

She was sitting in a chair with stylish sunglasses on while Pei Jing prepared desserts and snacks for her, giving the impression that she had come to enjoy afternoon tea rather than to watch the competition.

Her demeanor caught the attention of the Li Group Corporation shareholders, then after looking at her, what followed was murmurs of dissatisfaction and disdain.

Li Qingzhou greeted Mr. Reese with a cold expression, saying as he shook his hand, “I didn’t expect Mr. Reese to invite journalists as well.”

“What, are you afraid I’ll rage and make excuses if I lose the competition?”

Mr. Reese smiled but didn’t say anything.

However Yu Xudong who was on the side opened his mouth, ” How is that possible? President Li is thinking too much. It’s just to have journalists witness the fairness of this competition.”

Li Qingzhou didn’t say a word, however the corners of his lips went down as he took his seat.

The live broadcast had already started, thus it captured this scene from the stands.

And although the dialogue between the Presidents of the Li Group Corporation and the Casper family couldn’t be heard, their expressions were clear for all to see.

Making it so that the netizens could see which side was more confident and which side was not through the screen clearly.

[No way right? Could it be that President Li really can’t beat Casper?!]

[Sigh, I was hoping for C Country’s autonomous driving car technology to surpass foreign ones, but….. the Li Group Corporation has already developed smart AI cars, so the appearance of autonomous driving cars would have just been a matter of time if not for Casper suddenly interfering.]

[Anyways, I support President Li.]
