Chapter 172: Provoked (2/2)



The orderly didn't know what to say, so he could only say, as did Mr. Fuda, that they were Mr. Li's eldest brother's family.

Hearing this, Qiao just nodded.

She did know about the Li family's affair, but it was so long ago and she hadn't had much contact with them in her previous life, so she really couldn't remember it for a while.

As soon as the door opened, a gust of warm wind blew towards them, making both of them feel much more relaxed.

The noisy crowd in the hall also looked at them, some with their eyes lighting up, others squinting.

After all, they were Mr. Li's relatives. Although the two men didn't know them, they politely nodded at them with a smile.

As soon as Ruoqiao smiled, the crowd could vaguely hear one or two inhalations, and some people's gazes became more eager.

Boss Li, on the other hand, was alert. He did not stand up, but just sat there with his arms and legs spread wide. He asked the orderly with a cold face, "Xiao Liu, who are these two?"

The young people who come to visit during the Chinese New Year under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings probably have ulterior motives. They might also want to establish a good relationship with the Li family and gain benefits.

This is why Boss Li is here every New Year's Day, and he will stay here shamelessly even if he is ignored for a day.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, few young people dare to visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year, and they don’t have any excuses unless they are brought by their elders.

Boss Li wanted to plan for the future of his children and grandchildren, so naturally he had to try his best to prevent the Li family's resources from flowing into the hands of outsiders.

Thanks to my efforts in recent years, few people would come to visit me on the first day of the New Year. I didn't expect that there would be people visiting me today.

Looking at the slightly friendly attitude of the two men, Boss Li immediately guessed that the two men were probably not from this compound or the senior cadre circle, otherwise how could they be so nice to them? It was obvious that they didn't know them.

This made him even more certain that the two of them were here to establish connections, and his expression naturally became even more unpleasant.

After all, in his opinion, everything in the Li family belongs to him and his children and grandchildren, and no one can interfere.

The orderly was afraid that these people would offend the two, so he quickly responded, "These two are the fourth granddaughter of the old commander and her uncle."

When he heard the name of Chief Lao, a hint of hesitation appeared in Boss Li's eyes.

But he suddenly became alert again, thinking of something.

"Fourth Miss? Is it Ruoqiao?"

Ruoqiao frowned slightly. She felt uncomfortable with the feeling of being interrogated like a criminal.

But considering that they were relatives of the Li family and they were just guests at the Li family, she had to endure it and nodded to him.

Confirming his guess, Boss Li narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed sarcastically, "So it's the fourth girl from the Yi family. Didn't I hear that she went to the countryside and got married? Isn't she also from the countryside?"

After all, Li Lao Da's family is not an insider, so a lot of information is delayed, and they don't know the situation of the Yi family yet.

All he knew about Ruoqiao was hearsay.

Ever since Qi Ruoqiao was forced to go to the countryside five years ago and there was a commotion in the Qi family, there have been rumors outside that Qi Ruoqiao was the least favored child in the Qi family and an abandoned child.

In fact, it was just something Liao Qing deliberately spread in the beginning in order to suppress the gossip that her daughter was snatching a place from Ruoqiao University.

Later, it was dealt with by Shao Feng, and these rumors were no longer spread.

But some people who happened to hear it believed it, such as Boss Li.

She was an unloved and abandoned child in her family. She went to the countryside for a few years and married a country man. I guess she didn't have a good life at home.

Maybe he came here now just to help this country guy.

Thinking of this, Boss Li's expression became even uglier, with a hint of hostility in his eyes filled with contempt.

After all, he knew that this little girl from the Wei family seemed to have had a good relationship with Li Hanhai and several other boys when she was a child.

After all, she is still Mr. Qi's granddaughter. The old and the young came here one after another. Maybe the old man came here this time to ask for a favor for the younger one.
