Chapter 27 Reluctant

The three major families on the other side were holding a meeting. They certainly wanted the antidote, but they didn't want Li Rongsen to join in. There was no need to give him a share, but they couldn't get the antidote anyway, so they were caught in a vicious circle.

Originally, the fathers had the final say in the three major families, but since the children have grown up, the young masters are now in charge.

Xu Ye, the eldest son of the Xu family, is the biggest boss. He has a calm personality and doesn't like to be in the spotlight. Whenever something happens, he lets Zhou Ziyi, the second son of the Zhou family, and Lu Tong, the fourth son of the Lu family, discuss it first and let them come up with an explanation. He then decides what to do.

Zhou Ziyi said: "A little girl, how can she be so difficult to deal with? First lure her over here, then catch her on the spot. I don't believe she won't obey."

"My dad said that woman is quite capable and won't be easy to deal with," Lu Tong said, throwing out some information. "I sent someone to check her out, and her background isn't that impressive. The Mu family isn't a big deal here, just a small wealthy family."

"I heard that she has severed ties with the Mu family, and another young lady in the Mu family is more favored than her." Zhou Ziyi spoke while reading the information.

Lu Tong said, "Get some more people and drug her as soon as she comes in. I'm sure she'll fall." He took a sip of the juice on the table and said, "We have to get rid of Li Rongsen as soon as possible. He's been secretly investigating our affairs lately. We need to prevent him from getting into trouble."

"Then keep an eye on him." Xu Ye finally spoke.

"I heard that you know him." Zhou Ziyi looked at him and took a sip of juice.

"We're just from the same school, not very familiar with each other." Xu Ye answered evasively.

"So what should we do now? Is there any conclusion?" Lu Tong was a little anxious. He had looked at his watch no less than ten times.

Xu Ye had noticed this move and said, "How about this, you guys try to find a way to capture her alive."

Zhou Ziyi and Lu Tong looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Xu Ye stood up and said, "I'll wait for your good news." Then he left the meeting room first.

On the other side, Li Rongsen was also sending people to check data and related information. He continued to wait until he saw no movement from the three major families. Anyway, he would not take the initiative to deliver himself to them, which made him seem particularly passive.

His phone rang. It was Wang Lina. He pretended not to hear and didn't answer. Then Li's mother called. This time he had to answer. He asked, "Mom, I'm not going home for dinner tonight. I have to work overtime."

"I don't care how much overtime you work, just go home and eat." Li's mother said to him in a serious tone.

Li Rongsen didn't want to go back. He knew very well that Wang Lina had asked her mother to call him, so he insisted and said, "I really have something to do and can't go back for dinner. You eat first."

"Why, even I can't hire you, right?" Li's mother was already getting angry, and she added, "Don't think I don't know that the company hasn't had any important work to do recently. Why make up such an excuse? Who are you trying to fool?"

Li Rongsen had no choice but to say, "I understand. I'll be back."

"Since you've already agreed to go home for dinner, stop putting it off. You won't even need to eat when you get home at 8 o'clock." Li's mother hung up the phone. She glanced at Wang Lina and said, "What's wrong with you two lately? Did you have a fight?"

"No, he's really busy." Wang Lina pretended to be considerate and said, "It's also possible that I've put too much pressure on him recently."

"What pressure?" asked Li's mother.

"I proposed to him." Wang Lina said this deliberately, hoping that Mrs. Li could help her to urge him to do so.

Who knew that Madam Li didn't express her opinion? She stood up and asked the servants, "Have the guests I invited arrived?"

"It should be coming."

"It's almost time, let's go to the restaurant." Mrs. Li motioned Wang Lina to get up.

Wang Lina pouted and followed her to the restaurant. Today's dinner was quite delicious. Every dish was new and you might not be able to find it even in a five-star hotel.

After a while, the doorbell rang. It was Li Rongsen who came back.

He walked into the restaurant and saw Li's mother and Wang Lina sitting together. He also picked a seat and sat down at random.

When Wang Lina saw this, she went over and sat down next to him and said, "If you don't want to get married right away, we can still discuss it. Why are you angry with me over such a small thing? We're going to get married sooner or later."

Li Rongsen said with a sullen face, "Let's not talk about marriage for now. Things at the company haven't even gotten off the ground yet."

"There's no conflict between getting married and starting a company, and my parents can help you," Wang Lina said, adding, "I know you want to join the Renyi Medical Association. I've asked my parents to smooth things over for you. I'm sure you'll see results soon."

"I don't need to rely on a woman's connections." Li Rongsen felt a little uncomfortable.

Madam Li frowned and said, "You should speak in a more polite manner. Nana is your fiancée."

Li Rongsen really didn't want to talk to this woman any more. He stood up and said, "I'd better go take a shower and rest for a while. You guys eat first."

"Stop fooling around. Can't you eat first and then take a shower and rest?" Mrs. Li motioned him to sit down.

But Li Rongsen was unwilling to do so. He turned around to walk out, but saw An Yan walking in with a servant. He was a little surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he went back to sit in his original seat.

"This is my distinguished guest today." Madam Li smiled and gestured for An Yan to sit next to her. She immediately ordered the servants to pour her some drinks and asked her, "I may have been too insistent, but I really want to see you."

An Yan smiled lightly and said, "Mrs. Li is so polite. I already thanked you last time."

"Last time it was a thank you, this time it's a friendship, it's different." Madam Li gestured for the meal to start, personally picking up some food for An Yan and saying, "Here, try this and see if it suits your taste. These are all new dishes made by the chef."

"It looks good." An Yan has already started eating.

Wang Lina looked at An Yan's outfit and thought she was too shabby and unfeminine. But she pretended to be close to her and said, "There were some misunderstandings between us before. Please forgive us. From now on, we are all family."

Li Rongsen looked at Wang Lina's face and thought she was really good at pretending.

But Madam Li was very happy to hear this and said, "Yanyan, Lina is just a little willful, but she's not a bad person. Forgive her for what happened last time. I've already taught her a lesson."

Although An Yan had seen through Wang Lina's acting, she still said, "I don't care so much."

"That's great." Wang Lina smiled and said, "I see that you get along so well with us, why don't you acknowledge Rong Sen as your brother, and then be my and Rong Sen's bridesmaid as your sister, wouldn't that be a good thing?" After saying that, she turned to look at An Yan and asked her, "What do you think?"
