News of the marriage alliance with the Lu family is flooding the internet. At home, Li Youyou sighed, "The plan to marry into the Lu family is going to fail."

Li You was deep in thought when he heard a noisy voice beside him. His wife kept complaining, "If it had been earlier, when Li Rou was discussing business with Lu Shen at the company, she should have made her move."

"It's not like I didn't think of it. If it weren't for Li Anran, I should have been the one to use this plan," Li Rou said, looking displeased.

After the incident involving Li Anran and Lu Shen, Lu Shen took precautions to prevent related matters.

Basically, when Li Rou was discussing business with him in the office, her secretary would stand guard at the door, and if there was a drinking party, she would have her driver, A-Jie, accompany her.

If I feel I've had a bit too much to drink today, I'll call Ah Jie to drink it for me, and then find a designated driver to take us both home.

It was precisely for this reason that Li Rou did not find an opportunity to make a move.

Seeing this situation, Li You had no choice but to give up on the marriage alliance with the Lu family. Instead, he put Li Rou's information on a dating website and contacted the city's largest dating agency.

Li Rou is beautiful and outstanding, and her family is also quite powerful, so she quickly attracted a lot of attention.

The information kept popping up in the agent's hands.

When can we arrange a meeting with Li Rou?

"I need it urgently, could you put me on the priority list?"

The matchmaker was counting money until his hands cramped. He ranked the potential blind dates one by one and then told Li Rou's parents, "Mr. Li, we have arranged blind dates with five candidates. When would you be available?"

Li You's father was surprised by the agency's efficiency, saying, "It's available anytime."

Forced by circumstances, Li Rou had no choice but to go to the coffee shop for a social engagement.

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw a man wearing glasses across from her, but he was a bit overweight and wearing black leather shoes and black trousers.

However, this man wasn't as sunny and handsome as Lu Shen. His jawline extended all the way to his neck. Li Rou looked at him with disgust and wanted to turn around and sneak away.

Unexpectedly, the man called out her name: "Miss Li Rou, I'm here."

Li Rou had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, forcing a smile onto her face, but this smile was even uglier than her cold expression. "Hello."

The man leered at Li Rou, scanning her from head to toe. "Miss Li, I'm a contractor from around here. We're the ones who built your building."

"Then it seems you are young and accomplished, with assets exceeding 100 million." Li Rou praised the other party, but in her heart she secretly thought, "Pah, he's just a nouveau riche, what's there to be proud of?"

However, the other party failed to grasp the underlying meaning of Li Rou's words and continued to boast: "Moreover, I also have many houses in City B. If Miss Li likes any of them, she can choose one."

Li Rou impatiently fiddled with the coffee in front of her: "No, thank you. We're still in the early stages of our relationship, and to offer a whole building right off the bat seems a bit too much."

Seeing that Li Rou was still not giving him any face, the man became a little defensive: "What are you pretending for? You can't find a man, so you're here for a blind date."

Moreover, the man's voice grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of many people. Li Rou, exasperated, raised her hand and threw the coffee in her hand at him.

The man got up and tried to fight again, but was stopped by the shop assistant. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say something hurtful: "With your skills, it would be strange if you could find a partner."

However, Li Rou didn't care at all. She pushed open the door and walked out expressionlessly, then got into her car and headed to her next date location.

It was dinner time at the driving school, and the next man asked Li Rou to meet him at Jiaxi Western Restaurant. When she saw the meeting place, Li Rou felt a little bit of anticipation.

Jiaxi Western Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in the city, where any dish costs over a thousand yuan. It seems that the other party is very serious about this blind date event. Li Rou touched up her makeup in the car, looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, and smiled confidently.

Led by the waiter, she saw her blind date. He was of above-average appearance, with single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and fair skin. He was quite handsome, and Li Rou gave him a seven out of ten in terms of looks.

Starting with dinner, the two talked about their favorite classical music and the development of their respective industries. The man not only kept up with what Li Rou was saying, but also expanded on his professional knowledge. Li Rou was very satisfied with him.

However, near the end, the man made a request to Li Rou: "Would you like to rest at my place tonight?"

"No need, the driver will come to pick me up later." Li Rou was a little suspicious, but she didn't show it to him.

When Li Rou returned from the restroom, she found the man had disappeared. She got up to look for him, but was stopped by a waiter: "Miss, the bill hasn't been paid yet."

Li Rou then realized that the man had only treated her to such an expensive meal in order to trick her into sleeping with him.

I had no choice but to accept the blame and pay the fees this time.

The next two days of blind dates also went very poorly, with each of her dates being vulgar and crude, which made Li Rou increasingly disgusted.

Jian Ruoxi's condition stabilized, and Lu Shen also occasionally took time to return to the company to handle some matters.

During her time with Lu Shen, Li Rou, as the vice president, felt his thoughtfulness and gentlemanly manners, which were completely different from the blind dates she had met before.

Therefore, her feelings for Lu Shen grew stronger, and she secretly resolved to win him over.

Meanwhile, the Li family's butler, while patrolling nearby, noticed a suspicious person loitering around the Li family's residence.

This person spends eight out of twelve hours a day here. The butler suspects he has ulterior motives, so he takes his bodyguards and hides in the shadows.

The next day, when the suspicious person reappeared.

The bodyguard lunged forward and pinned him to the ground. The man's hands were locked behind his back. The butler stepped forward and lifted his hat, revealing that it was actually Li Anran.

Li Anran suffered a lot during this period because Lu Huayu went abroad but could not take her with him. He could only temporarily settle Li Anran in a small house, but the small house only had enough daily necessities for a few days.

A few days later, Li Anran hid in the house and shouted loudly, but no one paid any attention to him until the construction team came to demolish the house and discovered that there was still a living person in the house.

During this time, Li Anran was penniless and worked as a waitress and cleaner, enduring great hardship. In the end, she decided to return to the Li family. She begged Li You, "Dad, at least I am your daughter. Please take me in. I don't want to go to jail."

When Li Rong returned home, he found Li Anran kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly. He decided to keep her and make her a maid in the house.

However, that wasn't the only condition she had. She told Li Anran, "Help me marry Lu Shen."
