President Ai laughed. He didn't believe at all that Li Ke and Young Master Jun were innocent.

They are all men, and men know men.

If they don't have any thoughts or feelings about a woman, they won't treat her well casually.

When a man is nice to a woman, he always has an ulterior motive.

"Boss Ai."

Li Yongtai looked serious. He said, "Boss Ai, this kind of thing is not something you can joke about. My daughter doesn't have a boyfriend yet, and the young masters of the Jun family don't like others to tie them up and spread rumors about them."

The Jun family has helped his children a lot. Li Yongtai asked his daughter and knew that she had no feelings for Jun Li. So she couldn't use Jun Li to spread rumors, as that would be repaying kindness with enmity.

If Li Ke really likes Jun Li, Li Yongtai will not be excited, but will feel a lot of pressure.

The Jun family is the richest family in City A and a top-tier wealthy family. Their Li family has gone bankrupt. If Li Ke marries into the Jun family, he is worried that his daughter will be disliked by her in-laws.

Every time Li Yongtai thought of this incident, he felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.

In the past, he neglected to discipline his children and didn't care much about them. He thought that there were so many people at home, such as nannies, drivers, and bodyguards, who could take good care of his children.

Besides, the eldest daughter is much older than the two younger ones and can take care of them.

But he wanted his daughter to marry into a better and more wealthy family, so he often took Li Ke to banquets to let Li Ke come into contact with more people.

He had such an idea, but he did not manage his own business well.

It's all his fault as a father!

"Yongtai, I'm not kidding. I'm telling the truth. Your Li Ke is very capable. She's so much better than my Ai Li. I saw her with the Third Young Master Jun with my own eyes."

Seeing that Li Yongtai didn't look like he was pretending, President Ai spoke more bluntly and said, "Yesterday, Li Ke and Young Master Jun went to my company."

“What do they do in your company?”

Li Yongtai asked in confusion.

"Yongtai, are our two families still friends?"

Li Yongtai smiled and said, "Boss Ai, you shouldn't be the one asking me this. I should be the one asking you. I never thought about breaking off relations with anyone. It was you who took the initiative to break off relations with me."

When he was rich, the people around him were impossible to push away, and they all called him Mr. Li or Brother Li with a smile.

When he had no money, all his close friends disappeared and cut off all ties with him, as if they were afraid that he would borrow money from them.

Li Yongtai had also borrowed money from his good brothers, but they all cried poor and said they couldn't even take out 10,000 yuan.

Let him see clearly that so-called brothers can only share happiness but not hardships.

Now, when he was doing business, although he started to become friends with many people again, he didn't dare to open his heart to them anymore.

For the rest of his life, the only people he could trust were his three children.

He couldn't even trust his wife. If he hadn't married a second wife, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

This is God's punishment for him.

"Yongtai, what you said is wrong. I have always regarded you as a friend, but... you also know that the debt collector is Brother Qiang. He is cruel and ruthless. I also have a wife, elderly parents, and children. I just want to protect my family."

Li Yongtai poured him some more tea and said, "Mr. Ai, have some tea."

"Thanks."

Mr. Ai always complained that the tea here was not tasty, but he came to Li Yongtai today to plead for him. After suppressing his dislike, he picked up the cup of tea, drank two or three sips, and then put the cup down.

"Boss Ai, please tell us why you came here today. Don't say you missed me. We won't believe you."

Li Yongtai still has a good temper. After all, he is no longer the wealthy Mr. Li of the past.

President Ai smiled and said, "Yongtai, here's what happened. I've had some issues with your eldest daughter, Li Ke. She has someone close to her, and Young Master Jun has threatened to bankrupt the Ai Group, leaving me in debt and penniless."

"I'm afraid of what Young Master Jun said. He has the power to make me lose everything. Yongtai, we've known each other for many years. My daughter and your Li Ke used to be good friends..."

"But her best friend stole her boyfriend."

Li Yongtai retorted to Mr. Ai with a forced smile.

Of course, from a father's perspective, Li Yongtai felt that Ellie had stolen Li Ke's love and saved him.

Otherwise, if you find out your boyfriend is a scumbag after marriage, you will be so angry.

"As for the emotional matters, we can't say anything. This is not our Ellie's fault. That man has always had a bad heart, and our Ellie was coaxed by him. When Ellie comes out, I will definitely scold her and tell her to break up with that scumbag."

The other party gave up Li Ke not because he loved Ai Li so much, but because he loved the Ai family's wealth because the Li family went bankrupt.

Mr. Ai saw through it all. He told his daughter privately that she could only have fun with him and not consider getting married, as that man was not worthy of being entrusted with her life.

"Boss Ai, you said my daughter and you had a conflict. Why would she have a conflict with you? Are you taking revenge on my daughter because of what happened to Ai Li?"

Although Li Yongtai is busy with business every day, he still knows some things.

He heard that Ellie brought people to smash up Li Ke's beauty salon.

Knowing that his daughter had called the police and that Ai Li was detained and had to compensate his daughter for her losses, Li Yongtai did not bother his daughter. Even if he had gone, his daughter would not have wanted to say anything more to him.

All he could do was watch his daughter silently.

Li Yongtai knew exactly what kind of person Mr. Ai was. Mr. Ai must have done something, which was why his daughter went to the Ai Group to find Mr. Ai and why the Third Young Master Jun made such harsh remarks.

"I didn't do anything, it's just... a small problem. Li Ke has taken advantage of the Third Young Master of the Jun family and is taking advantage of the power of the other young master. Yongtai, can you help me plead with Li Ke?"

"As long as you help me beg for mercy, all the cardboard boxes that Ai's company needs will be produced by your factory, and the price will be the same as before."

Li Yongtai laughed, "Boss Ai, we can't make it at that price anymore. I'll lose a lot of money. Raw materials and labor weren't that expensive before, but now everything is expensive."

"I won't go looking for my daughter unless you tell me what's going on."

The relationship between him and Li Ke as father and daughter has eased a little. At least in the last two times, Li Ke was willing to see him.

In the past, Li Ke didn't even want to see him.

He didn't hate his daughters. It was he, as a father, who did something wrong. From the moment he agreed to sell his two daughters to pay off his debts, the relationship between father and daughter could never go back to the way it was.

Without figuring out the reason, how could he dare to go to Li Ke and plead for President Ai?

"Then let's go with the current price. The price is negotiable. Yongtai, you must speak well of me."
