After hearing what Li Changying said, Li Lingying's expression became somewhat desperate. She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Tang Xiaobao's face looked a little ugly.

It was obvious that Li Lingying was unwilling to go, but was forced to go.

"Ling Ying, I'm here. No one can force you to do anything. You can do whatever you want, but I'll be responsible for any consequences."

Tang Xiaobao said.

Li Changying said angrily, "Tang Xiaobao, please stop messing around. This is a matter of life and death for our Li family. If you don't understand the situation, don't get involved."

Tang Xiaobao was too lazy to talk to him. He just looked at Li Lingying and felt a little distressed in his heart.

After a while, Li Lingying finally opened her eyes, wiped her tears, and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go to the Shengtian Hotel at 7 o'clock tonight to keep the appointment."

Upon hearing this, Li Changying was immediately delighted and surprised. "Really? That's great! I knew you cared about your eldest sister the most. You're a great contributor to our Li family. Don't worry, after this is done, if anyone dares to say anything bad about you again, I will definitely stand up for you."

Who doesn't write a blank check?

Li Lingying gave a complicated, bitter smile and said, "Dad, you don't have to tell me such lies anymore. I just don't want to see my eldest sister die, but I also have my principles. I'll only accompany him for dinner. Don't even think about anything else. And I want to tell you, I already have someone I like, so you don't have to use me as a bargaining chip to exchange for benefits anymore. This is the last time."

Li Changying's face flushed, his expression becoming complicated. He glanced at Tang Xiaobao, then at Li Lingying, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I know that our Li family has always owed you. After this matter is settled, you can do whatever you want. Even if you want to leave City Z, I won't object, but you must leave quietly when the time comes."

Li Lingying was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said, "Okay, then after this incident, I will leave City Z and never come back. The favor I received from my family will be wiped out."

"Okay, I'll go back first. You, take care of yourself."

Li Changying didn't know what he was thinking and left in a daze.

After he left, Tang Xiaobao sighed, "You don't have to agree at all. Even I can see that the guy named Qi Xiong must have bad intentions towards you. If you go there, you will be walking into a tiger's mouth. I really admire your father. He can do such a thing. It's really a scam."

It has renewed my understanding.”

"Don't you still have me? I told you I only agreed to have dinner with him. You will protect me, right?"

Li Lingying smiled sweetly at Tang Xiaobao.

She was forcing a smile.

Tang Xiaobao felt extremely distressed and said, "Of course, no one can hurt you."

"Thank you, Brother Tang. You are the only one in this world who treats me the best and never asks for anything in return."

Li Lingying was a little moved and kissed Tang Xiaobao on the face.

sweat……

Tang Xiaobao smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

"What's wrong with your Li family?"

Tang Xiaobao asked curiously, trying to ease the ambiguous atmosphere.

The smile on Li Lingying's face disappeared.

She hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Originally, this matter was considered a family scandal of our Li family and would not be told to outsiders. But Big Brother Tang is not an outsider. At least in my heart, he is the closest person to me, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. I have two sisters. My eldest sister married Han Chuyang, the second son of the Han family. However, my eldest brother-in-law is not a good man. He has been messing around with other women and has left my eldest sister at home in the cold. My eldest sister is not a quiet person either. She finally fell in love with a security guard and made him wear a big green hat. I don't know how this matter was exposed. I went to Chuyang. He was furious and killed the bodyguard. He also imprisoned my eldest sister, torturing her day and night. Although he didn't take her life, he didn't let her have a good day. He even vented this resentment on our Li family. Originally, our Li family was considered powerful in Z City because of the marriage with the Han family, a large family. But now, this matter has been known to many people, including the Han family, and they are all against our family. Now our family is having a hard time. So, I understand my father. It's not easy for him to be the head of the family.

Tang Xiaobao understood and sighed: "Then, the Qi Xiong family and the Han family should be old friends, and their strength is even stronger, right?"

"Their two families are about the same in strength, but first-rate families all have connections and outlets in the capital. We don't know what kind of connections they have, but if the Qi family really wants to speak for our Li family, the Han family will definitely buy it. At least, my eldest sister can return safely. From childhood to adulthood, my family members have not been very kind to me, but my eldest sister has been pretty good to me. So for her, I must attend this dinner tonight."

Li Lingying said.

"All right

, I'll take you there."

Tang Xiaobao said readily.

"Thank you, Brother Tang."

"You're welcome."

"But this is the greatest courtesy."

Li Lingying blinked.

ah?

Tang Xiaobao was speechless: "Then what should I say?"

"You should say that protecting you is my duty."

ah……

Tang Xiaobao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It was a very peaceful day.

There was no movement from the Feng family.

There was no movement from the Wang family either.

At six o'clock in the evening, Li Lingying changed her clothes and prepared to attend Qi Xiong's dinner party.

The two of them were dressed up, and it looked like Tang Xiaobao was more like Li Lingying's boyfriend than her bodyguard.

Li Lingying did this on purpose.

On the way, Li Changying called and learned that Li Lingying was already on the way to the hotel, and only then did she feel relieved.

I arrived at the hotel on time, and a middle-aged man was already there to greet me at the door.

"Miss Lingying, the young master has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."

The man greeted Li Lingying, looked at Tang Xiaobao deeply, and then took the two of them to the box.

At the door of the box on the third floor, there stood four bodyguards, all of whom had bulging temples, and it was obvious that they were very skilled.

"Ms. Li, please."

The man opened the door and invited.

Li Lingying walked into the room. Tang Xiaobao wanted to enter but was stopped by the man.

"You can't go in."

He said.

"He is my bodyguard, and a personal bodyguard."

Li Lingying frowned and said.

"Okay, a bodyguard, right? Let him in."

Qi Xiong's voice came from the room.

Only then did Tang Xiaobao enter.

There was only one person in the box, Qi Xiong. Today's dinner was obviously prepared for Li Lingying alone.

The man closed the door and stood behind Qi Xiong. He was also a bodyguard. He looked calm and didn't seem to feel any pressure because of Tang Xiaobao's arrival.

Tang Xiaobao followed suit and stood behind Li Lingying.
