After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 101 - : A Self-Sacrificing Ruse? President Li Suffers a Setback
Chapter 101: Chapter 101: A Self-Sacrificing Ruse? President Li Suffers a Setback
Both of them were top-tier handsome men with quite a bit of status, getting into a brawl at the restaurant’s entrance. It quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.
It was much more interesting to watch than that Zhang guy giving Ning Yichu a hard time just before…
Some even recognized their identities!

There were exclaims of admiration…
Mo Baiyou, however, completely disregarded those strange looks, and when Li Lingyang punched him, making him retreat two steps, he immediately took off his coat to cover Ning Yichu, then re-entered the fray. He became even more ferocious when he noticed the scratches on Ning Yichu’s neck!
With punch and kick flying indiscriminately, both men were soon injured, but Mo Baiyou was clearly worse off, his face bearing several punch marks.
“Enough, enough, stop fighting, Mr. Mo, you’ve got it wrong, the injuries on my body weren’t caused by Li Lingyang…” Ning Yichu came to her senses and rushed forward to break up the fight.
Mo Baiyou paused in his actions upon hearing this, a fleeting gleam passing through his deep eyes. When Li Lingyang landed a punch, Mo Baiyou pretended to turn his head inadvertently, his block failing, and he took the man’s punch square in the face.
In an instant, crimson blood slid down from his nose, and a brief dizziness appeared before his eyes.
“Mr. Mo—”
Ning Yichu was startled and hurried over to help Mo Baiyou up, while giving Li Lingyang an intentional glare.
“You’re bleeding… Let’s have a look, are you alright?”
Mo Baiyou, with his head slightly tilted back, had punch marks all over his face, and his collar was torn open in the scuffle. Despite his disheveled appearance, his posture remained proud and composed. He shook his head and said, “I’m fine, Chu Chu, did he really not bully you?”
“It really wasn’t him…”
“Tell me the truth, don’t worry, even if I have a shallow foundation in Imperial City, I won’t let him bully you!” Mo Baiyou stared at Ning Yichu earnestly, his dark pupils seemingly only filled with her.
At that moment, Ning Yichu felt that Mo Baiyou’s image had grown much taller.
Her voice was cool and firm, “It really wasn’t him. I tripped and fell just now; he was just helping me up. I’m sorry for getting you hurt!”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Mo Baiyou’s concern slowly eased, but then he was puzzled, “Then how did you end up like this?”
“Don’t talk anymore, you’ve lost a lot of blood. Let me quickly take you to the hospital…”
Li Lingyang watched the “affectionate squabbling” between the two, and his anger surged once again!
The punch just now, Mo Baiyou could have clearly dodged it!
And that Mo was playing dirty, striking at himself several times in hidden places like the waist and abdomen that were not visible…
When it was Li Lingyang’s turn to strike, Mo intentionally moved his face towards his fist.
What was this? A ruse? Trying to gain Ning Yichu’s concern?
“President Li, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding,” Mo Baiyou, feeling Li Lingyang’s icy gaze, said politely and apologetically, “I apologize for my rashness, if compensation is needed, please contact my lawyer…”
Li Lingyang scoffed and turned his head to enter the restaurant.
Ning Yichu didn’t have time to bother with him and quickly took Mo Baiyou to the hospital.
Inside the restaurant’s private room, when Mo Baiyou and Yi Xian saw Li Lingyang leave full of rage and then return injured, they were all astonished.
Mu Bailang had definitely not seen Li Lingyang injured in many years, “Holy shit, weren’t you off playing the hero to save the beauty? How come you ended up looking like you’ve been robbed?”
“Could it be that Ning Yichu picked up a few random guys to mess with you again?” Yi Xian really didn’t like Ning Yichu.
He thought that Li Lingyang should have been with Shen Jiangqing from the start, and it was her that stole him away, forcefully marrying Li Lingyang. That made her a shameless mistress!
Mrs. Li had even cheated on Li Lingyang during their marriage, a real flirt!
Li Lingyang ignored the teasing of the two men and went straight to the restroom to wash his face.
Looking in the mirror, he saw blood at the corner of his mouth and his eye was swelling from a punch, turning bruise-purple, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Since taking over the Li Group in his early twenties, his life had gone smoothly, and he had never encountered any trouble he couldn’t handle.
But with Ning Yichu, he frequently faced setbacks, and his entire life had been thrown into chaos…
Bang!
He punched the glass mirror, which shattered into pieces all over the floor.
Some of the shards cut his knuckles and embedded into his flesh.
Mu Bailang quickly found a temporary doctor and brought over a medical kit. Seeing this scene, he wanted to laugh but held it back.
When had he ever seen Li Lingyang, unable to control his emotions like a childish youngster?
“Old Li, the doctor is here. You should come and tend to your wound quickly, be careful of infection and inflammation.”
Li Lingyang clenched his teeth, his fury unventable, thinking that everything tonight was triggered by that surnamed Zhang, like a furious lion, his face grim and his whole being radiating violence.
“That Zhang dares to make trouble on my turf, he’s really asking for it. Break one of his legs and one of his arms for me.”
Yi Xian felt inexplicably bewildered. Which Zhang?
Could that disgusting, greasy man actually have done this to Li Lingyang?
Only Mu Bailang understood it clearly in his heart.
The only thing that could provoke Li Lingyang so much must be related to Ning Yichu, and that surnamed Zhang just became a scapegoat afterward.
Tsk tsk, he had a feeling that Shen Jiangqing’s dream of marrying Li Lingyang to become Mrs. Li was unlikely to come true.
…
Ning Yichu did have a driver’s license, but after returning to Imperial City and not buying a car, there wasn’t much need for driving. Moreover, the driving standards were different in Europe, but now with Mo Baiyou injured, she couldn’t care less about that.
She took Mo Baiyou to the nearest old clinic and explained the whole story.
When Mo Baiyou heard Ning Yichu’s nonchalant account of the dispute with Director Zhang, his eyes hardened.
Looking at Ning Yichu again, he regained his usual calm composure. “It seems… perhaps I was too impulsive.”
“It’s all because of me…” Ning Yichu, seeing his bruised and swollen face, felt even more embarrassed, “But didn’t you say there was a reception tonight?”
“Yes, the location was set at Qingzhou Villa. I was delayed by something at the last minute, so I arrived late.”
What a coincidence… They had all ended up in the same place.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Ning Yichu’s eyes, afraid that Li Lingyang would hold a grudge against Mo Baiyou for tonight’s incident, especially since the two had already had a falling out before.
Moreover, with Li Lingyang deeply rooted in Imperial City, and Mo Baiyou being a newcomer, if Li Lingyang decided to pull some strings, life in Beiji might not be easy.
Hearing Ning Yichu’s concerns, Mo Baiyou merely laughed it off with indifference. “Let the fight happen. After all, he abandoned his wife and child, he’s no good. I’ve disliked him for a long time.”
Ning Yichu’s brow twitched sharply and she locked eyes with Mo Baiyou in shock. “You…”
“I’m really sorry. In just a few years, you’ve become one of Europe’s leading Jade Sculptors, I admire you. So I had someone investigate you and learned you are Li Lingyang’s ex-wife,” Mo Baiyou stated intently, openly admitting it and earnestly apologizing.
